    It's fantastic Friday! J's mother brought his car down from Kentucky, where it's been almost since he bought his motorcycle while up there. He did drive his car back home once, and then made another trip up and came back on his motorcycle. His mother, her brother, and a cousin all came down just to bring it back. We had burgers at Cheeseburger Bobby's and then they went back to Kentucky. Check out my food review on the Impossible Burger on FaceBook. Camping tonight and tomorrow night for us.

    You know, Grandpa uses those green chili peppers so much I almost expect to see him toss them into his cakes!

    Hey Ed! Grandpa does like his chili's! Maybe not putting them in the cakes, (just not yet)...but it would not surprise me to see them in bread or biscuits. MMM. Biscuits with chillies and cheese!!! OMG. if that sounds half as good to you and it did to me while I typed it....I'll be seeing this recipe soon!!! :)

    I got 0.65 inches and a LOT of thunder, one electrical 'flip'. So I need to reset the time on the microwave, etc. I understand 10,000 or more were without electricity yesterday evening from the storms. I got no rain, just noisy clouds!

    Today is 'hustle day'. My brother Bud's wife is in town, and texted me yesterday about Sunday Lunch at Sweet Toms'. I can't go Sunday, but left the option for Saturday??? She'll let me know if that works for them. They had planned a family golf game....so depending on the weather....yada, yada. So my weekend is pretty well shot! Not that I really, really mind. Just not my fav SIL...and since Bud died, nobody to 'rein her in!???!.' I shouldn't *kitten*, twice a year, as she passes thru GA she spends time with her daughter and 2 grandchildren, and we all have a 'civil' lunch at Sweet Toms...but.......

    Waiting for the biscuits.......

    Good Morning Woodsman!
    Looks nice outside my windows. Sunny, and still in the 70's here, so I'm sure in the mountains its even better!
    I have to wonder if there are any blueberries or blackberries still on the bushes up there. I know up around Asheville in NC. there were still some around. On the other hand, some rogue bear might object if he sees you eating 'his' food!
    Be silly, have fun, and be careful.

    Welcome Home Woods people!
    Hope your time in the mountains was wonderful! I expect it was.
    Need some serious gym time later today. I've eaten the last of my beautiful Cherokee tomato, with Vegenaise dressing and the not so toasty gluten free bread...it was delicious! May have to spring for another nice big one soon! (I made 4 pretty thick sandwiches from that tomato. so it was probably about $1.25 worth of tomato a sandwich...not bad) Not bad at all, and so very tasty!

    Nap first, and then gym time! Its kinda light rain, off and on today, def. overcast...great nap day. Would hate to not take advantage of it!

    Good Morning!
    I hope your time camping was as much fun for you and J as my ideal camping trip should be.
    Home and you've got lots to do....your friend Laundry was waiting for you, wasn't it?? LOL!!

    Off to the gym, earlier than usual. My friend Marietta is going to call probably around 10:30 ish...its a guess. She's headed home. Her Mom has Alz. and is right now at that stage of vile lashing out anger, sometimes verbal and sometimes physical. I know she needs to vent. So, planning my day around that phone call.

    I need to go back and find the cat pix from yesterday and print them out...otherwise I will never keep them straight in my mind! They are all beautiful. Your SURE that one with the gorgeous fur coat is a male? right?....that coat looks like a beautiful sable that any woman would love to wear....sigh. LOL

    Ok, I know you have lots to do, and I need to head out for the gym so I'm home for M's call. Poor woman...first she took care of her FIL, and MIL..and now her Mom...more than her fair share.

    It's marvelous Monday! Boy, did we get rained on yesterday! The trip home was through a monsoon! Need to fold laundry from last night. At least the cats let me sleep in somewhat this morning.

    It's terrific Tuesday! Not a lot on the agenda for this hot, dry day. Maybe I'll get out the door at some point.

    It's wonderful Wednesday! Need to water certain indoor plants (and one outdoor plant) today. And take a nap.

    Good morning!
    Brushed and brushed Tome E. Have abut half a kittens worth of air. Didn't get his belly and hind legs. He'd had enough, and let me know it! :)

    Laundry going, both machines, dishwasher unloaded, just finishing my breakfast of avo toast, banana, and mushroom coffee.

    Need to fold and put away the washed and dried laundry later this afternoon, and I think I'm good on out door watering, as I did that yesterday evening. I spilled coffee the other day talking to M and trying to bump up the a/c temp from its night time low setting...so its 'drag out the carpet steamer'. And the best bit will by my NAP!

    Amazing how I've transitioned from no naps to 'I Want My Nap'. Oh well, all good supposedly!

    For dinner tonight, I put some ingredients in a Crock Pot, simmered all day on low, and turned out a pot of delicious, vegan chili.

    Well, it was vegan until I served my bowl up...I separately browned some ground beef with a little salt, onion powder, and garlic powder, for mine and put some of that in the bottom of my bowl. Then I added some of the chili, and some sharp Cheddar. So much for vegan! And the cheese blew away any chance of Kosher as well. LOL!

    As my chili CON CARNE was quite delicious, I have no problem with that.

    Good Morning!
    Thought I'd surprise you!!
    Drinking coffee, trying to 'order' my day. List goes like gym, Kroger, Publix, Whole Foods. Not all in one day. So, need to figure out what today, and what can wait for tomorrow. :) Exciting, huh?
    Looks great out the window. Haven't stuck my nose out though. I see by my app that its 73 degrees already. Not bad, but better if less than 70's!

    Have a great day, oh, and I want a big dish of Grandpa's Avocado, Tomato and Cuke salad! That did look tasty!

    It's thrilling Thursday! I might be trotting out to Kroger myself today. Lunch will likely be leftover chili, possibly made into chili mac, just to add a little variety.

    Good Morning!
    Heading out in a minute or three to the gym, and then to Whole Foods, cuz I want some Heirloom Tomatoes. (Kroger didn't have any when I was there yesterday :( One big juicy one sliced, to eat with mayo (vegan kind) on toasted bread! I love tomatoes that way...the other to cut up along with cuke's, etc like Grandpa made in his video!
    Other than that, I'm goofing off today!

    Good Morning!
    Ted's coming out to cut grass today. We're starting at 9:00, it will already be hot, but not into the 90's hot!
    Puzzlement....the comb I've been using to comb out Tom E.'s fur coat has mysteriously disappeared! I looked for it yesterday evening, and its nowhere to be found on the screened porch. Trying to guess who stole it. Raccoon ?, possum ?, or maybe I have another 4 footed intruder? (doubtful)
    So, guess I'll be picking up banana's AND a new comb or two today at the market! Do you remember when they stole the warm pad in the cat's box a few winters ago? Wild animals are weird.

    I see both the little dogs from new neighbors are prancing thru my yard this morning. Yesterday poor Tom E. was on my sidewalk at the front porch, checking to see if the front door would magically open and he could come in...when the chase was on....both Tom E. and that black little dog in a dead heat running flat out. Tom E. knew where the hole in the fence is, and was in the back yard, safe and sound! Hope that little black dogger never catches poor old Tom...I'm afraid from the attitude I've see from the black dog, it would kill Tom. So its 'Run Tom, Run. around here.
    Ok, ted should be here in about 10 minutes, and I need to finish dressing.
    Today's goals...gym and market, and yard.

    Oh, guess how I spent $99.00 at Whole Foods yesterday???? Really wasn't that difficult either
