The house is fine. The cats were both glad to have us back home. I'm sure Kiara, just getting used to this neat, new environment, wasn't too pleased with her people disappearing all day. And Lilo NEVER likes for us to disappear all day.

Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! 67 out there now with an expected high of 89 and 0% chance of rain.
Kiara just knocked something off J's desk so I better see what it is.
I've been fed and the cats have been fed. Sink is clear. Laundry should be on the agenda for today. We'll see...
Update: It was his wireless mouse she knocked off. I put it back on the desk but further back in a place she's not likely to knock it off from.

Hi
I did some walking once again, The temperature this morning was 64 on the news channel and 61 degrees on the front porch.
It was semi pleasant walking this morning with humidity still in the uncomfortable range.
While out walking I stopped for 20 minutes and had two Eggs, Rye Toast and a few of the Home Fries
That will be my entire mornings food.
Have a Great Sunday

FWIW the Pecan or Walnut crust sounds delicious too.

Well, it wasn't too difficult to set back half the packet of salsa when I only cooked one piece of the fish last night. The remaining three pieces just stayed in the ziplock freezer bag they came in until I got one more out this morning to have for breakfast.
You may have noticed that the two items I bought for ME came from the LiveSmart selections. There's a reason for that.
The remaining two pieces of sole, and the other bag of salsa are still in the freezer for the making of two other meals. I haven't opened the box on the other fish yet, so don't know exactly how it's internally packaged. My memory says several of their multi-serving items are set up as "dinner for two" in the internal packaging, but it's usually easy enough for me to just remove enough for one serving and re-wrap the rest. Some items are individually packaged, and some just bulk packaged.
Not sure what I'll order for the next delivery in two weeks, but I'll be pondering some more of the LiveSmart items I'm sure.
If I said I had not noticed that would You believe me ?
Update: I just looked again under meals and I do not see a LiveSmart category, I did see a Low Calorie Category That I have put a shortcut too on the Desktop for future reference. I need to make more room in the freezer at the moment as I have a Autodelivery on the 25th.

Today is supposed to be much cooler and less humid, yea!
I have done the same thing with the wireless mouse, so far it has survived the fall.
I am using a Logitech Wireless mouse that seems to have much, much better battery life than the old one I used from them before. The old one I was using a set of batteries every month.
Cheers

LiveSmart isn't on that part of the menu, but way up on top. When you go to the site, there is a large red block with a swan in the upper left. Look to the right of the swan for a listing of "special" categories, including SALE, NEW, SIGNATURE, LIVESMART, GRILLING, and RECIPES. There is no colored background for this listing so it doesn't exactly jump out at the user. A little farther over you'll see GIFTS, REWARDS, and AUTO-REORDER.
On the individual pages for items it will also show whether the item in question is a LiveSmart item, as a green box that says LIVEsmart. I've been quite pleased with all the items I've selected from that category.

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Good Saturday Morning...
Well, like the cat in the cartoon this morning, yesterdays business turned out to be melting into the couch...more like marathon catching up on reading articles, recipe's etc from the internet.
That can't happen again today! Stuff is falling behind. Although I did make sure the sink was cleared and the dishwasher run before I turned out the kitchen lights. (and the dishwasher was unloaded this morning before I sat down at the computer.
Ok, slight break, Tom E was hungry which reminded me was hungry too...so..my greens and potato are in front of me and I'll eat while I type..ok?
Roger said: You said "Wish the had been." I am not sure what You meant.
Well, Roger neither do I know what I meant. Please do me a favor and include a date that you're referring to, or give me a bigger 'clue'!!! LOL!! (that sounds grumpy....trust me its not meant to be grumpy).
Ed, how was the house when you got home last evening? Hope the two kitties behaved and didn't trash the house. I watched the cookies being decorated while I ate my greens, beans, and potato breakfast...cookies looked better than breakfast!
Need to go thru about a dozen emails that didn't go directly to trash when I did my quick run thru. its getting late, later, and still later...
Later... ( )
That was on the 4th, and the complete line reads
Saw the Cheezburger links online yesterday from fb. They always have great kitty pix and video's.. Enjoyed seeing Kiera pix in Lilo's box. Wild cats just aren't box cats very much. Wish the had been.
Does that help?
I'm a little behind posting this info...
Thursday I went to add some things to the iPod and no luck. So I tried uninstalling several ways one of which was the Apple way that uninstalls many things, in addition I removed all the left behind apple folders. Nope, Then I tried doing all that again plus editing every reference to Apple and Itunes in the Registry using built-in to windows a Microsoft tool and still no joy. Finally three hours later I threw in the towel and called Apple support
It turned out to be a unchecked box that I had never touched. My guess is that the latest upgrade may have done it.
Now that I was able to put the new items into the iPod I am currently listening to Niven's 4 book Dreampark Scf-Fi series while walking having finished his Ringworld Sci-Fi series.
If interested https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_Park
More info from the link
Dream Park is a 1981 novel written by Larry Niven and Steven Barnes set in a futuristic amusement park of the same name. It was later expanded into a series of books.
The books describe a futuristic form of live action role-playing games (LARPs), although the term was not in use when the original novel was published. The novels inspired many LARP groups, notably the International Fantasy Games Society, named after a fictional entity in the book.[1] A company by the name of Dream Park was founded in the mid-1990s to try to realize as much of Dream Park as possible, but eventually went out of business.[citation needed]
The Dream Park novels were written by Larry Niven and Steven Barnes. The novels set in Dream Park are:
Dream Park (1981) - Locus Award nominee, 1982[2]
The Barsoom Project (1989)
The California Voodoo Game (1992)
The Moon Maze Game (2011)
The Dream Park series is set in a near-future Earth, the first book taking place in March 2051. Technology is used to create realistic games in which participants act out the roles of free-willed protagonists in various stories. These are role-playing games and foreshadowed many aspects of modern live action role-playing games.33
I use Mozilla Thunderbird for email...
Many Emails I hold the Shift key while hitting the delete key for permanent deletion. If not sure I only use the delete key and they go to a trash folder, just in case. Others I archive in a new folder within Thunderbird.
I also use a program called "MozBackup" That Backs up all the Content and settings etc. Customizable as to what You want to Back. I use it to back up FireFox and Thunderbird into two backups that can also be used to move everything to a new computer, restore the firefox backup for example and The favorites and save passwords are and add ins are ready to go in the new install, likewise with the Thunderbird backups.

Hi...way to late to even pretend its morning!
Decided I'd have to stay away from the computer today, or at least a good part of it...got lots of little and big chores done today. Right now my ankle is killing me...so I'm sitting here with ice packs on my foot and ankle, hoping that helps.
I did have a nice shower this afternoon...I heard Tom E. yelling on the porch, in a meow-ish sort of loud way. Opened the door to let him in, and he was wet, and it was raining. Grabbed the red towel and dried off Tom Cat, and he thought I was going to feed him his dinner...umm, like noooo....I did offer him some treats, which is not at all what he wanted, anyway he made a general pest of himself, and after about 15 minutes he was 'invited' back outside. He'll get dinner, at dinner time. Meanwhile there was dry kibble, and kitty treats, so its not like he was going to starve to death before 6 pm.
Kiara is a very photogenic kitty...and a bit of a tease??? Cute pix.

Well, I got the first load of laundry just now finishing up in the dryer, and the second load will go in as soon as I get it out.
Got the bathrooms cleaned too, mostly. Still a shower to do, but I'll get to it...
Lunch and dinner were both made from a pack of boneless, mostly white meat pork ribs that I roasted in the toaster oven with some barbecue sauce basted on for the last 15 minutes. Half the pack (3 ribs) was lunch and the other 3 ribs were dinner. Breakfast tomorrow might just be bacon and toast again, as I still have plenty of bacon in there from the camping trip and I'm getting through it, a few slices at a time!
Yes, Kiara is definitely a bit of a tease.

Have a Great Monday

Nice looking cat.
I was at the ShopRite yesterday, I now have some proteins on hand for use the next two days.
Which would be Cooked Beef and Chicken.
Have a Nice Day

Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! 73 out there now with an expected high of 87 and 50% chance of rain.
I've got to fold the last load of laundry from yesterday at some point and that might actually happen today! The sink has been cleared, I did get the cat boxes scooped and the garbage and recycles to the curb yesterday AND ran the dishwasher, which was emptied this morning and all the clean dishes put away.

Good Morning...for a rainy Monday
Got some rain overnight, not sure how much. Will go outside and look later. (the gauge is in a big garden pot, and there are 'leaves' from the liriope blocking my view this morning.
Not sure what's on the agenda for today...I need banana's, and would 'like' a couple other things, so I may go to the gym...and pick up at the Mexican Market next door. 2 errands, one parking spot!
Yes Roger, Tom E. is a Crazy Cat. Comes from being an alpha cat all his life, and finding himself without a 'pride', except for me, or so he thinks. Poor thing is just frustrated.
Coffee's getting cold...will check in, wait for it....wait...wait
Later!!!

Front walk has been cleared of four o'clocks again. They tend to droop and sag, eating the sidewalk and making it look like a jungle adventure trying to get to and from the front door. ESPECIALLY after a heavy rain like last night. Periodically I have to go out there and just kind of bend them all back, and sort of fold them parallel to the house, to get them off the sidewalk and make it look passable.
And the laundry is folded! Not all put away as yet, but J is still asleep. I think Lilo is probably in there with J and Kiara may have been but as I was just getting my second cup of tea Kiara popped up in the kitchen, from somewhere, maybe the living room, and meowed at me as she meandered over to the water bowl and probably to peer out the laundry room window.

Braised sirloin tip with herb mashed potatoes and green beans on the side. Medium glass of red wine with it.
I should get two or three more meals from this. I cooked extra potatoes and green beans for that purpose too.

Good morning! Tuesday!
Incredible day yesterday. Nope, didn't win the lottery. Pulled myself together and made that gym run. I was reintroduced to a young woman I knew when she was a tiny little thing. She is the daughter of my gym owner. She was a joy as a child and in what seems to be overnight has morphed into a beautiful, centered, wonderful young woman!
Then on to the market for a couple of items, and home. Avoiding two torrential downpours in the process0 -

Hi
I did some walking once again, The temperature this morning was 65 on the news channel and 66 degrees on the front porch.
It rained Yesterday starting more heavily late morning and was still raining at 7PM. According to the Cable news channel we had around .7 inches of rain. That means a couple more days we will not need to water.
Have a Great Tuesday
