Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday! Another hot, dry day in store. I need to pick blueberries and check on the wild blackberries in the front.

Good Morning Ed! Don't you know Roger should be thru surgery if not this minute, soon...and he's sleeping in recovery!!
Those blueberries are delicious, and addictive! I really enjoyed coffee and the trip into Trader Joes! Last laugh, the checker got all combobulated, and in the end they refunded too much money...but he never weighed and charged for the 3 yellow squashes!! I got home putting stuff away...and it dawned on me...no squash. And at that price it was a fantastic buy too!!! The banana bread is still as good as I remembered it being! Hope you saved some for J!!! (I think I'm safe in feeling that Jason got his share too, ) And you know how good those blueberries are!!! I washed a cup of them this morning, and they're in the kitchen, grab a few every time I'm at the sink... Addictive, that's what they are...and in a GOOD way!
I need to get moving toward putting on gym clothes, and heading off to the gym! I got there yesterday! 2 more days, and i"ll have perfect stats for two weeks! And the day I missed, ws a 'home' day, and I got enough time in on the recumbent bike to count for the day, even though I didn't do the entire 30 minutes. I know, so interesting!!!Ha hahaha!
Several 'to-do's' for today...We'll see how that goes! For now, I'm getting off the computer, and getting my day underway!

Howdy! It's satisfying Saturday! I have taken advantage of the cool morning and trimmed a few branches that were slightly impeding access to the gate on the left side of the house.
Apparently I was out there FOREVER and it was AWFUL because Orion claimed my lap and left hand immediately when I sat drown.
115 people said yes for this afternoon's pool party. At a smaller venue that, in my opinion can't possibly accommodate half that crowd. I had said yes, but am definitely waffling on that now.

Good Morning!
115 people, or even 90 in the heat we're being told will come...I know what I'd do........
Loved my blueberries and oatmeal this morning. Will wash and set out about half a cup in the kitchen again today. Its like a little reward for going into the kitchen when I don't Have To!
Going to the gym seemed to be my major accomplishment yesterday. Now, that's sad!!! And worse, I'd love to do just that agin today, but I see a couple 'obstacles' that are going to get into the way of that plan!
I spent some time alone in the swing today. Not sure where Tom E. had gone to....and I startled a new begging cat...this one dark head with a white blaze, short hair, gray body...and not the one I call the 'velvet gray' cat either.
Mother Nature is sure pushing my buttons............
Going back and watch video's. My current series is over so I have an extra hour or so...nice!

Emmy made mud pies!!!! I think I gave those up for lent, maybe 65 or more years ago! Seriously I knew of women eating clay, but it was never presented in my nutrition classes as a good thing. Also laundry starch powder... I think I would take a pass on this one!
The Thai chicken looked interesting...Pretty sure I could do that with tofu! Not sure I need to though.
Oh, told Jack about the Cuban place...at one time Jack worked very near the forum in a business park...and he was quick to tell me that he used to eat there sometimes for lunch...and that the food was good. Just FYI!!!

Howdy! It's sumptuous Sunday! Hot with 20% chance of rain. Not a lot on the agenda today. Maybe a small grocery run. Maybe not.

Good Morning!
Tom E. and I sat on the swing for over an hour this morning. It was a great temp, and Tom says a great petting and chin rubbing kinda morning!
I think my top priority will be wash dry, put away the light load of clothes sitting by the washing machine, and a trip to the gym! Also they're reopening the 'Remedy' docuseries, and I'd like to listen/take notes of about 4 of the presentations. They have it available as a 'special offer' for $200. I'll stick to taking notes!!
Watched the Medieval food. I think I'll stick to my banana breakfast! Lot less work...:)
Have a good day today!

Howdy! It's marvelous Monday! A hot one today with 30% chance of rain. I may get out for that small grocery run, assuming they don't tear up the base of the driveway today.

Good Morning!
I hope you got a briefing on Roger from his brother Mike. (so glad that 'brother' has a name!) Poor Roger, that was a very long surgery, and will probably be a long recovery also.
Yesterday I accomplished everything on my 'to do' list. LOL!!! Will do pretty much the same today, with a trip to, I guess, Walmart. Meeting my niece Leslie and her two littles for lunch. I usually bring something for them to do so Leslie and I can chat...I had forgotten over the last two weeks to find a 'something'. That and canned cat food will be on my list today.
Not sure whether to hope they don't tear up your driveway so you can get out to shop and whatever...on the other hand, maybe hope they do tear it up so that soon your part of this is new sidewalk is done!
Loved Simon and his cat. I think I've experienced at least some of it. Though I am smart enough to close the door on my bedroom and the bathroom!!! Which gives Tom E. the front room, hallway, living room, dining room, and the foyer. Kitchen does not have a doorway...nor does it have a cat!!! LOL!!
Take care and enjoy your day. Might want a nap, as my weather app tells me shortly after midnight, and all thru the night to expect thunderstorms....

I got out to Kroger, and back. My two expected deliveries have arrived. Lilo and I have eaten my Black Forest Ham with lace Swiss cheese sandwich (opened that spicy brown mustard!) for lunch, with a VERY small pile of chips. I need to check my glucose at 1:30 to see how much the chips spiked me, but the rest of the meal should be relatively low impact, considering the bread I used. Lilo approved of the ham and probably would have approved of the cheese, but she didn't get the chance.
After that, noise level permitting, a nap sounds lovely.

Howdy. It's terrific Tuesday! A bit cooler today with 80% chance of rain. If I want to pick blueberries, I need to get on out there soonish before the deluge.
They got about halfway across the yard yesterday with the ditch and it looks like they are trying to get as far as the driveway today, though weather may not allow actually doing the driveway today. I guess they will let me know if they plan to get to that today.

Good Morning! Tuesday! Rain surely is predicted....
Meeting Leslie (Niece and her two..my grand nephew and niece) for lunch at Sweet Tom's...have puzzles for the kids to mess with while Leslie and I chat. May stop at Pike's on the way home. I want (not exactly a need) a Croton plant. Would look nice for the summer in my front flowerbed. Probably wouldn't try to over winter...though knowing me, I may try. I kept the same $2 geraniums alive for something like 3 years once just for the heck of it!
Also another gym day...no surprise there, right?
Off to the shower, and then hit the road...being in Alpharetta at 11:30 can sometimes be a challenge. (traffic wise)

I got three big bowls of blueberries this morning. Some of that, no doubt, was left from yesterday since I waited too late and got caught in the rain after only one bowl worth and had to come in. Looks like I will be freezing another two or three quarts soon. Maybe today!
Right now I am cooling off (and drying off - the bushes were very wet) from the picking. After the cool off I may take a shower, but that may wait until after lunch. They are out there working, and piled rocks (for the drainage ditch) all over the end of the driveway, after asking me if I needed to get out this morning. I think they may well finish that up and do the driveway today, which would be fine with me.

Howdy. It's wonderful Wednesday! Hot with 50% chance of rain. Not a lot on the agenda today. Sit around and wonder what the construction workers are up to. Peek out the garage door windows occasionally to see. Eat some blueberries for sure. Dishwasher is running now. Did laundry yesterday.

Good Morning Ed!
I was the luckiest critter in GA yesterday! Inch and a half of rain fell, and I missed being caught out in it all day! Drove to Alpharetta and light sprinkle as I crossed over 141 at States Bridge...stopped at Pike's and picked up a few more plants...:) Why not!?!..back into the car before the rain, dropped off plants at home, and into the gym, where there had been a downpour, (says gym staff) I could see there had been a big water dump...home as it started to rain, and into my garage...still dry as an old bone...and once I was home two more downpours! (Me, still dry....Tom E. not so much!) I think the last downpour took him by surprise, as he put up a fuss at the back door, and I opened up to see one soaked to the skin unhappy cat...heheh, he looks really funny when he's wet! So when you got wet picking the blueberries, did you stand at the back/side porch and whine before you went in to dry off? Probably not, and you need to take lessons from Tom E.!!! LOL!
This morning I've walked a bit over half a mile at home, will hit the gym later today...as for now the Kitchen needs attention, and a few other chores. I hope we get a good 'Roger' update from Mike T. sometime today. He's been thru what sounds like a really really big surgery, and its going to be slow going for quite awhile I'm afraid.
Glad they are working on finishing your driveway!! I know it will make you comings and goings easier, not having to wonder about coming home to a torn up driveway!!!
Apple watch is dangling a 'challenge medal' for the month of June in front of me. The other 5 this year have been easy to achieve...this month, not so much. I was tasked to walk 86.2 (yeah, really,...86 miles isn't long enough...need those other two tenths! Jeese!) So far I've stayed on track, and my calculator says if I walk 3 miles EVERY day the rest of June, I'll just 'squeak by'. If I make this challenge, I promise you I will be staying home July 1st.!!! But, being a stubborn old lady, I'm for sure going to have a go at this!
Blueberries....mmm... so good. I nibble on them every day, and add them to salads, and of course my oatmeal! I think I'm going to freeze about a cup or so...cuz they'll really be extra special when the chilly mornings set in this fall. Or, I may make a small blueberry pie in my smallest ring form cake pan.
But first...chores.

Howdy. It's thrilling Thursday! Should be hot and thundery today, especially in the morning and late evening. Not a lot on the agenda for today but pretty definitely a nap. I woke at 2:00 this morning to a severe cramp in my right leg and was in agony for 10 to 15 minutes, alternately walking and trying to hold it straight, while crying out in pain. If J were home, I am sure it would have been loads of fun for him, as it would have had him awake to share the misery. I didn't sleep well after that, with flashes of residual pain.
Orion did his best to help, giving me a nice kitty massage, complete with healing purr effects, for 10 or 15 minutes, just after I laid back down. I didn't have the heart to tell him that he wasn't massaging the right area.
They finally installed the concrete conduit under the driveway yesterday, and then cut my internet (third time!) as they proceeded to the neighbor's driveway. Xfinity installed a new, bright orange, cable from the box by the road, to the house. This looks like the cable they usually use for the trunk cable that goes all down the road. They will be back to bury it in a couple of weeks, presumably, and hopefully the destruction...er, construction has proceeded enough now that it won't be cut again in the interval.

Good Morning!
Home from the gym, and lunch has been eaten...Going to see if I can sneak out and pull a few weeds before the first round of rain..
Had a really good time at Costco yesterday post gym time. )Note to self...do not do this again)...Found several things to try...one item I could not find that I KNOW I purchased there before...etc. The point being...you mentioned you had lentil pasta...yesterday I tasted, and really liked Edamame spaghetti!
Well, had I just poked Post, this would have been at your computer about 5 hours ago!
Meanwhile I've pulled weeds until the rain came, then Tom E and I sat in the swing while it rained..and then I took a nap, and finally Jack called...and after our chat I fixed my dinner... All I can say is OOPS!!! Old Persons Swiss Cheese Brain???
Hope you've had a good day, that your driveway is finished, and that you have a great evening.

Good Morning!
Nice outside now...it will get steamy later!
Ted's coming out in about half hour, and I want to get the sticks and twigs from the yard. I figure that is the very least I can do to help with the lawn. Meanwhile I'll be working on my flower beds.
Not much on the horizon for the day...lawn, gym and lots of goofing off!

Howdy. I'd have beat you on posting, but I was at the tag office. We received J's motorcycle license plate yesterday, and another plate, addressed to us, in a separate envelope, but containing a normal sized vehicle plate for someone in Lawrenceville. Somehow they put copies of J's registration in the mailing window pockets of both envelopes. As the expiration for the large plate was set for November, and we use birth month for renewals in Georgia, I hope the lady in Lawrenceville is enjoying her new car!
And I hope her plate gets to her before her temporary tag expires.
The clerk I spoke to must have been fairly new as she hadn't a clue what to do at first, just saying that they don't mail those from the satellite office here. When I pointed out that I had nowhere else to take it, and certainly wasn't going to drive to Lawrenceville to turn it in at the courthouse (or perhaps deliver it to the rightful owner?) she took it to ask her supervisor.
I could have taken that opportunity to flee, though there was no way they could get me to take it back into my possession anyway, but waited, and almost laughed out loud when I heard the supervisor saying, loudly, as the clerk headed back to me, "And be sure to thank him!"
The clerk did thank me and said that they would take care of getting it back in the mail to the right party.
