Hi JanGood morning!
Glad the first part of your walk went well. The mornings and evenings here are awful with the humidity and warmth just staggering. The heat of the day is actually nicer as it burns off some of the humidity! The mosquitoes are bad enough to carry off small dogs and rather numerous. The flies are so bad too I ordered my fly paper stick ups for my two doors for the inside. Gross, but necessary. They come in a day or so,but not soon enough. I need to remember to order them in June! Sounds peaceful seeing the deer. I did take may May for a game of catch so she is entirely pooped out and we are all blessedly peaceful!
Are You talking about the Fly Ribbons that come in a round tube that You hang and pull the tube down to expose the curly sticky tape or something else. I have some of those from last year and agree they can get a bit disgusting looking. OTOH so much better than having those dirty disgusting things land on me or my food.
The Deer are more or less fearless if cautious due to no hunting in this area. That also means they tend to get out of control for numbers. They look neat when they run
It sounds like May is doing good.
I forgot my Melatonin too, I had a restless night probably as a result. I may take a nap today, after taking the Melatonin naturally.I did not get to my 7 am small group. I forgot to take my melatonin last nite, and took my meds later than I wanted. I was up till after 3 am, so no way I was getting up at 6:30.
I did get up at 8 am to get to my Dr appt. even though I had only about 4 hours of sleep. So I took a nap this afternoon while trying to watch a movie. Now if I can sleep tonite! I need to be in bed a little earlier! LOL!
I am taking my car in the morning to have my repair work done. I should get it back on Friday. My daughter invited me to breakfast at Shoney's after we drop it off. For her diet she will do well as she plans egg, bacon, sausage and cheese and no carbs from the buffet. The biscuits and the french toast on the buffet will do me in as I am of the little will power persuasion. I can skip the eggs and pancakes though, no temptation. The fried potatoes always look better than they taste. I will keep that in mind. I did well today though. And I will do well on Thursday being house bound with my healthier foods!
My brother wakes up in the middle of the night, puts on a TV show and often doesn't recall watching much of it.
When I was traveling around the South on vacation Shoney's was my go to breakfast eatery. I kept their directory of locations handy in the car. The Problem is I love the Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Pancakes, Biscuits and French Toast. One reason I always came home heavier than when I left
I have been known to take a Sausage Patty, put egg on cheese on it and eat it that way.
Good Luck with that great food available.
I am amazed how much money people are willing to pay for phone service. The Consumer Cellular plan I'm on is under $18 a month with the AARP discount and the Other one is from my Brothers Family plan and costs a whopping $10 a month.I kept wondering how some of these these young people pay their phone bills that run 100 dollars or much more a month. I get it now, the parents are paying it...Broke up Ma Bell to cater to corporate greed. I remember paying 10 to 15 dollars a month or less even with long distance...
Sounds like you are paying our gas prices we had at the beginning of summer. We hover around three/gallon more or less.
Have a great day! How is your garden doing? Jan
The Consumer Cellular is 1/2 the price of the Verizon Land Line it replaces, and that was a no frills plan with no long distance. If I had but known I would have switched much sooner instead of paying that greedy Verizon.
It would seem that too many people are willing to pay those prices, Why I do not know.
Everybody knows that the First National Bank of Mom & Pop has deep pockets
Garden is OK, My Brother is getting Zucchini off of the plants he planted seeds for. The Tomatoes are loaded, Just waiting for them to turn red
He has used basil from the garden already and This week I have been enjoying fresh tasty Raspberries from the garden.
About the only thing I can say is Ouch. I need to fuel the car this week, Second time this year already. You can see I do not drive farHi! Val!
Glad it is going good and glad I do not have Cal. gas prices! Oh those raging teen years!! Would not want to relive them! For either my kids or myself!
Stay safe and have a great, great time!! You have sure earned it!!
...Jan
Have a Good Day

Happy Thursday!
Well, I enjoyed the heck out of Shoney's! So no, watching the carbs did not go well lol. I dropped off my car in Prattville, and we headed to Shoney's. To our surprise it had closed up it's door for good. So we headed to Wetumpka, the next little town over, about 15 minutes away. Their Shoney's is very nice, and sweet sweet people and their buffet much better. Same foods, just cooked and stocked better. I had a sausage biscuit, a bit of biscuit with country gravy, bacon, french toast, dirty rice with sausage and a small amount of fried potatoes. I will be making it up for 3 days. The best part is I will not be hungry again today. The worst was the calories and numbers! Oh my!! But so good. I have not had that in about 5 years or so. Good thing!
The strips I bought for the flies are clear 2x3"s flat strips more or less. I agree, gross little flies really bothering me and May May. They should be here from Amazon today. Yay!!!
Your garden sounds great! Lots of work, I know! I can not believe you all were at 90 degrees so late at night! We are actually in the mid seventies at nite this week. How crazy!!
Great savings on your phone. I still love my landline. Especially as I get no tower coverage where I am..
I was really excited all those Thai kids and their coach made it out of that cave. That was such a miracle. So sorry for the diver they lost.

Once again humor was just posted
Hi
I'm back from walking and no cents. The Temperature out the door was 72 degrees and I was only semi comfortable.
I went back out yesterday to the DMV AKA MVC to renew my cars registration and Found one cent in their parking lot, I also was lucky enough to get the last spot in the shade and the process was 15 minutes in duration. Then I was able to park in the shade at the ShopRite, That made the car much more comfortable when I came back to it.

Biscuit with gravy
I am lucky in some ways that there are no Shoney's nearby so I can avoid that temptation
Dirty Rice, I do not recall that, I do recall that they had Grits. Do You eat (like) grits, They seem to be Southern Staple.
Just curious is Your landline expensive ? Verizon was greedy as I see it. $36 + for basic landline service.The strips I bought for the flies are clear 2x3"s flat strips more or less. I agree, gross little flies really bothering me and May May. They should be here from Amazon today. Yay!!!

Good Morning!
My 3 days of peace and quiet has not existed. I spent a good bit of time on the phone Weds. returning friend's calls. Today I am playing catch up with piles of clutter from just a few days that I was not able to get to. My car people said my car might be ready today, though I can still clean today, just thru the interruptions, lol! I can not complain if the auto center is efficient, lol!
I just inked in all my Dr appt. everyone has set up for me. In the next 7 weeks, I will have 7 appts. All biggies too. My fault for complaining and putting some off. They range from cardio GXT, echo, bone density, mammogram, colonoscopy, follow-up and something else. Well gee. Guess I need to get out a good book! I hate DR appts!
Those are some stories above, esp. about the drunk arrests. Oh my, what can I say! (eye roll!)...I never thought Sears and Pennies would go out of business in my lifetime. We still have a nice Penny Store. But easier to buy on line, I am sorry to say.
I have eaten my share of tomato sandwiches as summer is here! They did have grits and cheese could be added at Shoney's. I love both, but did not get them as I had so much else. If they had a small bowl out, I probably might have, but did not want it all over my french toast and biscuits. The dirty rice is a Southern thing, mostly from La. and just low country cooking, and it goes well with fish, as the coast is so close. There are many recipes. Theirs had sausage crumbled in the rice as well as a fine chop of onion and green and red peppers. Sweet, not hot. Some spice to make it Southern, but not spicy as such. Yummy!
I could live with no mosquitoes! I wonder if it might harm other small things though, like lightening bugs, bee's, ect. I would think not if specie specific but you never know...
My land line is expensive because it is bundled with only my computer, and not with cable. It is a no win. Only one cable company offered or dish in the area.. Costs about the same. If you bundle all three it is 29.99 a service so basically $100.00. But with taxes and their add ons it will run about $120.00 and they will raise the prices about every 9 months. I pay $110.00 now for 2 services, but that includes the extra add ons like taxes. It was @ $90.00 two years ago, but has increased since then. I could get all three things now for what I am paying for two, but in less than a year it will be more like $130.00. Had I kept my cable 2 years or so ago, I would be paying around $140.00 by now. As you can see, the words screwed, confusing and unfair comes to mind. I figure cable and movie theaters will be a thing of the past soon in some places. So really my $29.00ea. for 2 costs me $50.00ea. in reality, lol... But the 29.00ea for three would be about 140 in 9 months....clear as mud!!...
Take care!! Thinking of you, Val! ...Jan1 -

I wonder if You could get Landline, Internet and cable all from one source ? It seems that I am lucky as we have a choice of Fios and Cable for Landline, Internet and TV. Not to mention DirecTV and Dish Network for TV. Also I see that they are advertising Hughesnet for Internet and Phone, That is satellite delivered too using a two way dish that can send and receive data.Good Morning!

Yuck is the kindest thing I can think of to say for all those doctor visits.
That crud You need to drink for the one test is nasty.
I do keep a unread book or two on the shelf in case of need.
I am sorry that You need to visit so many doctors, I have always tried to avoid Doctors and Dentists
That is how one year back in the 80s I ended up in the hospital with Pneumonia from waiting to long to go to the doctors.

Strange that they were rude, Have You been to Universal studios, I used to enjoy it. Also south of there a little ways is Disneyland and nearby Knotts Berry Farm. Both of those were nice and had pleasant employees.
You have been covering lots of area. I'm sure that the Girls and You enjoyed the Whale watching.
Your daughter must have enjoyed the harry Potter location.

I picked my car up on Thursday as they finished early. They did a wonderful job. They were so efficient and sweet, I can not remember the last time I was so impressed by a company.
Still hot and humid, we are supposed to get rain showers esp. on Sunday and some days next week.
I had a good diet day yesterday and stuck to my plan. Hard though. Hopefully today will be easier!

Agreed, You would think that employees would want to protect their job.
I try for humor, more hits than misses I believe.
Some Dealers and garages are good, the trick is finding them. I had a Customer when I was working my last job that worked for a car dealer. He told me to steer clear of any dealers east of where I worked on the highway.
Congratulations, It can be very tough sticking to the diet, I believe that once You break it Your body develops cravings the next day because of that.
Enjoy the Day

Well, my get up and go got up and went as they say. I did nothing worthwhile yesterday. I am a little more energetic today, but I sure am not on the roll I was last week. I have things to do, but it is hard making headway. My chores just come back faster than I keep up with!
Love the burglar who had to call 911. Those stories always tickle me! The color x-ray was pretty cool too!
Val, I want to be a kid at your house, lol!
Believe it or not, neither my daughter and I have ever been to Disney Land or Universal. Since we spent the growing up years in Europe, and have been working since we came back, we just never fit it in. We must be the only 2 people in the U.S. that have not seen them...

At least You had some get up and go, Some days my walking is more from habit than any get up an go
Dumb crooks are nothing new, You can't make those sort of stories up.
Wow, Never !
The main problem with both of those is the length of the lines. When I headed south to Orlando on vacation I always went in early January since that is the off season and prices and crowding are at their lowest level for the year.
I recall no AC growing up, Maybe as a youth I could tolerate The heat and humidity better ?

Hi
I'm back from walking and 1cent that I spotted laying in a crack, It blended in due to some discoloring and I was lucky enough to see the round shape and look closer. The Temperature out the door was 75degrees and It was sort of comfortable when the breeze blew. Sadly it was intermittent. It rained off and on during the morning then cleared up for the balance of the day. More rain is forecast for Tuesday thus we do not need to water until Thursday if the forecast holds.

Good morning!
I am glad you do not have to water and you were able to get out and walk. A good habit!!
I bypassed many goodies but still went over my calories for Sunday. Church and small group make it hard on the same day! I am happy to do better today!
Val, I am so sorry that happened to Em. I think you handled it brilliantly. I would really be ashamed if I was that girl's parents. What is wrong with people anyway... I cannot fathom someone even doing that! I am glad the rest of the vacation is going well. I really enjoy the pictures as I have never been to that part of the country. Thanks for sharing them.
It rained a little Sunday and we needed it. Some places really got torrential rain, but we had just enough. We did have some spectacular and dangerous lightning however...
Hope to get a few things done this week, but I am always tired due to Sunday on Monday. It tends to be a down day, lol...
Headed for humor! Be conscientiously aware of what we eat today! This said more for me than anyone! Jan 1 -

Hi
I'm back from walking and no cents. The Temperature out the door was 80 degrees and It was not comfortable even when the breeze blew. There is rain and thunderstorms in the forecast for later today.

The SF DMV is somehow the worst it's ever been, visitors say
I will say that is one area NJ has them beat. I spent around 15 minutes renewing my Registration and I could have done it by mail if I had chosen to do that.

Regarding the Walking is it a good habit or obsessive OCD type behavior
It can be hard when out and about surrounded by tasty looking foods.
I can understand Your feeling tired on Monday.

Hello!
I did indeed get up in time to make it to my small little women's group at Panera. And I was good and did not get the 400 calorie cookie I usually get, nor the almost 500 calorie scone. I got a fresh fruit cup and it was delicious, almost as good as the cookie. Well, not! But I did feel lighter after. I can not understand how the calorie count is so high for Panera's products. Even putting in the calorie count from scratch using cream, real butter, sugar covered fruits ect, I can not get as many calories as they say is in their pastries, or soups. It is very weird. I have done better the last few days finally. I could not get going after a few bad days, more than I cared to count! But did!
I think I will skip the mirror that tells me my faults...that is a no brainer. When I first moved to Al. it took about 1.5 to 2 hours for a licence renewal. Long line, no seating. Now it is about 15 minutes, too. They have several satellite stations in the county and renewal by mail also. The original place is still slow as molasses. I had to go there for my passport and changes for my divorce papers and you could age and die there....
Poor SF is getting the tar beat out of their reputation lately. It does not seem like a place you would want to live or visit anymore!...I also may wait on that "space travel" till it is perfected more. I noticed no prices were down for it! Only gov't elect and celebrities will be able to afford it, as well as the occasional millionaire!
It is actually a little drier and more pleasant today. We had no rain but it was very cloudy and kept us in the mid 80's....Nice! ...Thanks for the humor!! ..Jan1
