Good morning;
Roger-We leave tomorrow morning. According to the weather forecast it should be in the high 60-low 70 for most of our stay. That is the perfect temperature for me.
I have not had to turn on the AC yet. Even though it was in the 80's yesterday, there was a breeze.
Hi Irene-enjoy you pool day.
I will try to post from my phone while I am away, but no guarantees.
Have a great day!0 -

Hi
Currently It is 63 degrees outside. Since the Living room is a little warm I have opened the door to the porch to cool it down for free
We will headed out to watch the Memorial Day Parade Yesterday. It was comfortable in the shade sitting on a folding chair with a nice breeze to keep things cool.

That would indicate that You are jetting off today.
Those temperatures sound really great, Enjoy them.
When The Living room was 81 degrees at 8 PM and the porch wss showing higher On the AC went. The Wall mounted unit does make it harder to talk and listen to the TV however suffering from terminal Sweat is no fun either. If You can or can not post from the phone That is OK by me.

Congratulations on that walk, I wish I felt up to getting out and walking. The 1.25 blocks to the parade was about my current distance
Mom used to watch the Mass on TV if she did not feel up to going to the local church.
Both of us enjoyed the parade

Thanks for the healing thoughts, At least this time my brother can let everyone know what is happening.
Cool there, Lucky You.
I did not know a Nook could do that, I thought it was a e-book reader. That's the Barnes & Noble version of a Kindle as far as I knew.

Relaxing is the Goal for a Holiday IMO.
At least the weather was better yesterday than on Sunday especially with the cooling breeze.
The Date that the Scheduler gave is June 21, That is why I need to call the doctor today and see if he can get it moved up. One week ago he said it should be in two weeks. I'm not real happy.
Have a Good Day

Hi all.
Got home around 2:30 a.m. this morning. The plane was delayed, and we had a 2 hour drive from Sedona to Phoenix, so it was a long travel day. I got a massage today, visited my daughter and grandson and did a lot of laundry.
Irene, you seem to keep busy with the yardwork.
Roger, hope you are able to get your date changed. It takes a while to get procedures scheduled around here too. Hang in there.
Safe travels, Jo!

Hi
Currently It is 59 degrees outside. There was another round of storms yesterday with thunder in the afternoon and storm damage in other parts of NJ. According to this mornings Weather forecast the visibility in much of the state is 0.1 to 0.5 miles due to fog.
And another day of perfect grass growing weather here in NJ with enough sun and rain. I think my brother scared mother nature when he bought a watering can and a watering wand for the potted plants and as a result we are having rain often enough to not need them

No bad storm here it seems to have passed North and South of us with only a fair amount of rain.

Hello VixHi all.
Got home around 2:30 a.m. this morning. The plane was delayed, and we had a 2 hour drive from Sedona to Phoenix, so it was a long travel day. I got a massage today, visited my daughter and grandson and did a lot of laundry.
Irene, you seem to keep busy with the yardwork.
Roger, hope you are able to get your date changed. It takes a while to get procedures scheduled around here too. Hang in there.
Safe travels, Jo!
Have a good night everyone!
After all that travel I bet You needed the Massage to relax.
I'm not surprised that Laundry needed doing after the amount of time You were gone.
In our family when traveling to see family we always shipped most of the things via UPS and only had a carry on so no time was spent waiting for checked luggage to appear, and hope it appeared and then shipped things back via UPS.
It is not looking like I can get the date changed The waiting is hard.

Hello Joanne0 -
good morning, well we had another storm last night but not as bad as the night before all this rain is great for my grass . Today I am going to Trenton have some shopping to do and get my nails done. Roger hope you get in sooner. Vix welcome back Hi jo take care everyone0

Good morning.
Came back to hot weather. In the 80s during the day...in the 60s at night, which is great for sleeping.
Painting class this morning. And my cleaning person is coming today. I'll have a busy weekend. My daughter is hosting the wedding shower for my future daughter-in-law on Sunday. I'll help her decorate, and I'm making some frittata muffins for the shower.
Roger, I find it easier to check a bag, and to carry a backpack for the few things I want to take on board. That way I can take full size toiletries if I want, and can pack things like nail clippers in the checked bag. Also, don't have to lug around a heavy bag waiting in the airport. And the backpack fits under the seat, so I don't have to put anything in the overhead bins.
Have fun getting your nails done, Irene. I'm going for a mani-pedi with my daughter on Saturday....looking forward to it, haven't done that in a really long time.
Happy Thursday, everyone.

Hi
Currently It is 63 degrees outside. There was another round of storms yesterday in the late afternoon into the evening and then around 11 PM a final round of heavy rain. Before the last of the rain parts of the are had 2 to 2.5 inches of rain and flooded streets.
When I did a followup visit to the local doctor Wednesday as much to bring him up to date my brother suggested that since I was unable to walk far why not ask about a Handicap Placard. I printed out both types of applications, the long term one and a short 6 month application which is what I went with. The Temporary one is good for six months with one 6 month renewal. That one i finished filling out Thursday and looking at it I saw that at the bottom there was a place for the Chief of Police to sign it. When I went to the local PD it appears that they hand out the placards for the 6 month ones. I left it with them and they called me back later and Voila I have a Red Temporary Handicap Placard without ever having to brave the end of month Crowd at the Motor Vehicle Commission facility. I feel bad that I need it and I am hopeful that once I have the surgery and follow up treatments if needed I will bounce back.
FWIW the Police Chief approved and signed the form despite the PD being busy dealing with some emergencies. Our town departments work pretty efficiently. The Placard expires November 30 and by then I will know if I need to have the doctor re-certify for another 6 month or not.

The weather has been a bit crazy this week. To the good, No watering is needed
It does not look like I shall get in sooner, From what I have observed and seen online I suspect that the hospitals are overloaded.

I just wish the bedroom would cool down better overnight it seems to be stuck at 72 degrees and I am loathe to use the AC so I just use a Box Fan for now. I am also hoping that the AC works as I had no luck when I looked for one that would fit last year just in case.
Some of the restriction on what can be carried onboard strike me as ridiculous. Nail clippers as a weapon, really ?
Which reminds me that I need to trim my toenails, they are too long
Enjoy Your Saturday
Have a Nice Day

Hello Joanne0 -
Hi all.
Roger, it's good that you got a temporary placard. Don't feel bad about it. It's temporary, and you need it. I'm hobbling right now, but it shouldn't last more than a few days, but I would get one if I needed it.
We had a tornado warning yesterday afternoon. We didn't get the tornado, but we did get a good rainy squall. Beautiful and sunny today.
Irene, hope your PT was good. Nice that you get a mani-pedi so often. I guess we all have our indulgences...mine is the massages!
I know Jo must be having a wonderful time in England and visiting with family. Enjoy!
I got my hair refreshed and tested out a style for the upcoming wedding...looser curls, it looks pretty good.

I don't feel that bad about it, I just wish I had more stamina, I was walking three miles a day a year ago. Now I'm beat from walking through the Grocery Store when my brother drops me at the front door.
It sounds like You dodged a Tornadic bullet. And to cap things off today is the start of Hurricane season
Does that mean You have decided on a style for Your hair ?
