Good morning Ed,
Its humid out but the temp, right now, 9a.m. is very cool and comfy for sitting on the screened porch drinking my morning coffee while Tom E. eats his breakfast. Its a challenge, as he periodically makes a run for the swing and hops on my lap...the challenge is to NOT be holding the coffee or worse yet drinking it! LOL
He's on day 4 of hijacking my recumbent bike. I have no idea why the sudden attraction. I was going to use it this morning, and he dashed in and hopped on the seat. I pretended I was going to sit on him...he didn't budge. So, I'm here saying Hi instead!
Soon to start laundry, and some lentils. Have a yen for a spicy lentil salad for later today. Also a remake of the Tomato, Cucumber, and Avocado salad I made 2 weeks ago. Guess its gonna be a salad kinda day! LOL! Could be worse. (you guessed it, Whole Foods had more of those expensive buy wonderful tomatoes!).
The LaCrosse game at 3 p.m was quite warm, but not nearly as bad as the week before. Nate's team won, and he played a good game. He gave me a 'Sweaty' ole Grammie hug
, and you know I loved it all the same.
Ok, hope you don't find any more chewed electric cords. I know the feeling. Many years ago, in TN, the boys had a mini half lop rabbit....that rabbit chewed everything, including electric cords ...most of which WERE plugged in. I came home from work every morning expecting to find fried rabbit. Then one day, the rabbit chewed on the corners of Jack's 'computer' manual...I can't recall the name of the little thing. Supposedly you could 'program' it, and a Pong like game was about the extent of what I knew it did....but the kid was crazy about what was to come in computers... anyhow, Rabbit chewed on Thursday, Saturday morning he was 're-homed' in the mountains of TN with my Ex. I can't say I missed the little rodent, but I do have to say he was cute, and a major source of entertainment.
I think when Tom E. crosses the bridge he will be my last pet. As much as I'd like to have a nice quiet adult dog, its just not gonna happen. However, if I was to be adopted, and it followed me home, please let it be all one color! Tom E. is basically white, but has about 2/3rds dark, longer hair, so his hair shows up on EVERYthing. And all I can say is Thank You Ted for gifting me the Dyson Stick!!!
Ok, guess who's fussing at me...maybe my turn to use the bike????
Later...

Howdy. It's terrific Tuesday! Need to do all the usual daily stuff, and get trash and recycles out to the curb for tomorrow's pick up, and give Lilo her Tuesday shot, and get out to buy cat food.

Howdy. It's wonderful Wednesday! The lawn crew is out there now, noisily doing their stuff. Smart of them to get out there early, before the heat sets in. They have been doing this for years, so I assume they know how to keep hydrated, take needed breaks, etc. They don't charge by the hour and I presume the guys aren't paid by the hour either so can take any breaks they need. With two to four of them out there, our yard does not take long.
I see that an empty box of corn flakes appeared on the counter overnight, so one item to add to the perpetual shopping list.

Good Morning Ed,
I have only 3 minutes before I need to be on the road...seeing Chiro (wow that was a fast 2 months since last visit!), and lunch with Ted...most likely at Whole Foods...he'll probably once again buy 2 slice of pizza. Talk about learning to keep my eyes on my own plate!!!
Want to get back here later to see what has Emmy so concerned.....LOL!!
Mysterious box of corn flakes...do you suppose one of the cats left it???? LOL! Tell Jason I said Hi, and good job of getting the corn flakes on your grocery list!!!

Chiro was so impressed she said she'd see me again in 2 months!! I think I impressed myself!!! LOL!

Howdy. It's thrilling Thursday! It's supposed to be a very pleasant day here, with a high of only 26C/80F and no chance of precipitation. Now I can almost believe that Fall is coming in a few days! If you had asked me last week I would have had more doubts on that front.
Not a lot on the calendar today, other than the usual daily stuff. I might get out to buy corn flakes or we may just have to scrape by on bran flakes or crispy rice cereal until I feel like getting out. Then again, there are a couple of places I have been wanting to check out and today just might be a good day to do that.

Good Morning Ed!
I think I am going to love this day! It was great on the porch with morning coffee!
I need to make a run to Honda, and talk with a mechanic...yesterday while driving in Decaur on Ponce, I got a very annoying message saying I needed to check my gas cap. ????huh?? Well, I immediately pulled off into a gasoline station,and unscrewed the gas cap, and then put it back on. Still had the message. Drove to Dr. Pat's office, as she'd told me about a web site that might carry my Promise Irish Bread...and I'd forgotten what the web site was. When I got there, I again unscrewed the gas cap. Still same message. So,while there called Honda, they said to come by and pull into a service bay...and when I got back into the car, the message was gone. So I drove home. I'd had just enough of that day!
So...I did have to laugh at Emmy and the corn wine. Bet if she let that stuff 'work' for a few more days it would 'light her fire' I had a neighbor who made corn cob wine....the alcohol content was way up there! (but not as high as 'shine') LOL!
Today also I am going to Whole Foods, to pick up another container of the mock chicken salad, Prime members on Thursdays, 25% discount on all their deli items, this is the last of two Thursdays before October. And they have Broccolini on sale, and Honey Crisp Apples. I will check the price at Costco first....Needless to say, they have many more items on sale this week, but nothing else that I want/need!
I think I'm off to the gym. I never got there yesterday.

Howdy. It's fabulous Friday! I might get out today for those needed items, but it COULD wait until tomorrow, or even Sunday. Can you guess how much I don't love shopping? LOL!

Hi Ed!
So glad you love shopping! heheheh! Most of the time I really don't mind. Except Christmas shopping...just too much hype, too many people, yikes!
Fall temps are here!! at least for a few days.
Spent an hour this morning talking to my friend M, as she was driving to her brothers' house. She was supposed to go yesterday...but all that rain! It did not get into her house...just 'to the house' at the patio level. She sent video of her hubbs sweeping water!. She had to miss a class yesterday, and turned out it was a good thing. The people who did get there, couldn't leave. Much rain, in 2 hours... and we need rain so badly!
Going to the Lanier HS football game tonite. Want to watch Olivia and the Color Guard. Should be fun. Will spend the night with Jack and family, rather than drive home at night.
So, I think you can bet I won't be here before noon tomorrow (Saturday)!!! But will be here before dinner!
Hope you got out today. Its really nice out.

I did get out, and got the needed grocery items, including the corn flakes. I had lunch while out, at Martin's on Jimmy Carter. A friend told me their breakfast is really good so breakfast for lunch, though some of the burgers and sandwiches did sound awfully good! Maybe next time. Breakfast was OK, for a fast food type breakfast.

Howdy. It's sensational Saturday! 58 degrees(!) out there now, but supposed to get to 86 for the high, with no chance of rain. I got the shopping done, but have to admit we (well, I) did celebrate National Pepperoni Pizza Day yesterday for supper, though we also had a cheese pizza since I am married to a vegetarian. Might see a friend (here at our house - yay, less social anxiety) for a bit today, might not, as scheduling can be difficult for busy people.

Well Ed...I thought I said hello earlier this morning when I got home from Sugar Hill....but since I don't see it...
I had the best time at Lanier HS Friday night Football game. Got to see O's flag bunch in action. Nice, really nice. It was late, dark, and I spent the night on their couch. (which meant I didn't have to climb a flight of staris) I'd climbed enough stairs at the football stadium. (not all at once thank goodness)
Because my high school was so small, we didn't/couldn't have a football team. So last night was the first high school game ever!!! (lots of college games for sure)
I came home early, fed Tom E...he'd eaten all the wet food I left out, but still had most of his dry kibble. So he wasn't in any danger of starving!! And once I did that, Tom E. and I sat in the swing and enjoyed the dry cool morning for at least half hour, and then I went back to bed!!! Need my beauty sleep...waiting for it to happen. LOL!!
Laundry in the dryer, got my workout done at the gym, and watered flowers and the Black Mondo grass... so, pretty sure I'll sleep well tonite.
See you in the morning! (hope J enjoy'sh is cornflakes!!)
Later...0 -
Howdy. It's sumptuous Sunday! Looks like a pleasant day, though still a bit warmer than I would like. Still, not as bad as it has been, so I can't complain...not that that has ever stopped me from complaining.
Not much on the agenda today. I think my lunch will be the leftover beef stew from the small pot I made yesterday.

Hey Ed,
This is becoming a habit on my part! Once again posting at bedtime...
Its been a good day...drove to L'ville this morning, then back to the gym...home, folded laundry from the dryer, took a nap, which was intrupted by my neighbor who I very seldom see even to wave at...her little bitty Mom! Chinese woman. She just came to say hi!! She loves flowers, and cooking, etc. It was nice visiting!
Then I finished my nap. dinner was sorta pick at what I could find in the refrigerator, which was ok too.
Tom got water sprayed on him as he landed on my dining room table. He went off to pout. But several hours later he's been a very sweet and loving feline. hmmmmmm. We rocked while I watch one of these 'off' over the air channels. I saw several programs of "Password"...how times have changed...one of the guys openly lit, and smoked a cigarette on live TV. Been awhile since I've seen that!!
Ok, bed time for Bonzo..

Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Happy Summer Solstice! I might have to get out for some canned cat food today, but it's supposed to be relatively nice, though a bit warmer than I really like. At least the nights are nice and cool lately!

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Another fairly hot, dry day expected here. Not a lot on the agenda. Perhaps a bit of sweeping up, vacuuming, and bathroom cleaning. And, of course, litter box scooping. I have already given Lilo her Tuesday shot, and subsequent treats.

Good Morning!
Slow starting today! It must be fall, this bear is slowly moving, and has gained a pound overnight. (how's that for an excuse?)
I will have to look to see what Grandpa is up to with that truck load of potatoes, and ????. I can't tell what the roots are......
Tom E. is never ending confusion. Last night we sat on the porch, and when it was time to go in, he elected to go to the roof instead of the house??? Why?
Jack sent me a link for a podcast last week. I'd mentioned reading the book 'The Accidental President'...about Harry Truman. So he sent me this long (5 hr) podcast which gives another take on wars, bombs, Truman, army's, their leaders, etc. It, unlike the book, makes you 'THINK'!! Hard on the brain ya know? I have about an hour left to listen too. but first, some food for Tom E. should he decide to come down to earth.....
Later...

AWWW! Poor Emmy. I wanted those eggs to be good. 100 days is a long time, no matter what you're making!
Do I think I'd ever EAT a Thousand Year Egg...Nope!!! (Nor will I ever knowly eat BirdsNest Soup.) I"d have been game to try, until I found out about the birds nest...noooo wayyyy!
Ok,
Lazy me ran out to Publix to pick up a ready made salad! Also picked up two Veg. Refried Beans that were bogo. No immediate need...but I was out of them and several weeks ago was going to use a can for saome burritio's...and had none. Also picked up 2 of those 'chinese take out' boxes of Masala Rice & Lentils. They were 2 boxes for $4.29. Will be easy enough to steam some broc. or carrots and add some tofu if I have some. Quick eats!
Rest of the day is up in the air...I should go to the gym...and I still may this evening. There Will Be a Nap very shortly, and that's about it.
Later...0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
20% chance of rain today, but still rather hotter than I'd like. I may get out for a few things. I think I may get some chili started in a slow cooker to have for supper tonight. I can make some seasoned ground beef separately for my servings. I expect there will be left overs too.
