    Good morning.
    I helped get the paintings into the fair last night, out of the teachers car and all registered.
    Thanks about the stained glass. I'm proud of that one, the photo doesn't do it justice. It looks really great in a window with the sun coming through. The headlights look like they're lighting up. :grin:
    It's good that you're all getting your walks in, and keeping up with the lawn mowing.
    I'm going for my 2nd epidural today. Hopefully my leg will be feeling better. I would love to get back to my walks in the park, but am going to wait a few days this time.
    Happy Friday, everyone. :)

    I posted some Humor a little while ago

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and once again no cents. The Temperature out the door was 75 degrees and once again very uncomfortable walking due to humidity. I thought I heard rain around 3AM and sure enough when I looked out before heading out I could see where it had rained, not a heavy rain.

    Thursday I took and scrambled an egg and after pulling it sprinkled some Shredded Cheddar on it a touch of salt and useful as is or in a sandwich.

    We had lunch at the Chinese Buffet, I could have done better :(
    I had a slice of their small Pizza, Sadly it was much tastier than the National Pizza Chain Little Caesars', Despite being held in a metal tray on the hot table their French Fries were tasty too. The Chicken Nuggets I tried were Meh :blush:
    Yesterday was not that great looking, We hit intermittent rain going to and returning from the Chinese Buffet.
    The item I ate the most of was the Beef Broccoli followed by Some Butter Cabbage assorted types of Chicken including wings :smiley:

    Then as the Coup De Grace My NS frozen delivery arrived after 3PM when I was feeling sluggish from the Buffet.

    Hi Irene
    The lawn needs mowing, It does appear that the Weed Killer we spread last week has killed a lot of the weeds so Success. Now it just looks ragged from the way the grass is growing due to the mostly daily rain.

    Good Luck with the Pool Heater

    Hi Vix
    I'm sure it looks great with the sunshine behind the stained glass.

    Good Luck with the Epidural and getting the Paintings to the fair.

    Good Luck Getting Back to Walking

    Good morning.
    Well, I didn't get all the immediate relief from the epidural that I did the last time, but they said to give it a few days to kick in. The doc said to take it easy for the week. I may go to the county fair today, but that will be mostly strolling, shouldn't be too much.
    Great news!!! My son got engaged last night. :smiley: Happy Family!
    Happy Saturday, everyone. :)

    Good morning;
    Vix-Congratulations on your son's engagement. :) I love the stained glass car. Good luck with your fair entries.
    Irene-Did you get your heater installed? How is Annie doing? Any news on the sale of your house?
    Roger-I also found a cent this week. I haven't been walking, it has been too humid for me.
    We had rain yesterday until about 3pm, then the sun came out.
    I had to take a trip to the doctor last Thurs. for a cyst on my thigh. The doc thought it might have been caused by a spider or other insect bite. I am on antibiotics and warm compresses.
    Have a great Sunday. :)

    I have now posted more humor FWIW

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and once again no cents. The Temperature out the door was 72 degrees and still not comfortable walking due to humidity.

    I am undecided whether to mow the lawn today or tomorrow or split the mowing between the days.

    Hi Vix
    I'm sorry to hear that it did not kick in instantly, I hope they are right about the few days.

    Taking it easy is not hard for me, it is the getting going on chores that is tough.

    I hope You made it to the fair and had en enjoyable time.

    Congratulations on your son's engagement, I'm sure that with the values You instilled both of them have a good life ahead.

    Cheers

    Hi Irene
    If I said I am tired of all the rain and humidity...
    The Skies opened up yesterday morning after I was back home from walking. I thought I had felt a few drops as I walked up the block to house and shortly thereafter, Heavy Rain. Then in the afternoon the sun came out and it was a beautiful if humid day. Likely the humidity was worse due to the rain drying off into the air.

    Good Luck, I hope they finish the Pool heater

    Hi Joanne
    You are doing better than I this week finding money, I seem to have been spending it not finding it :(

    I'm not surprised Your rain lasted later than ours as the weather reports all showed it moving Northward.

    I am sorry to hear that You developed the Cyst. Somewhat scary that a insect bite can do that.

    I hope the Antibiotics and Compresses clear it up quickly.

    Good morning.
    Thanks all...my son and his fiance are really happy, wonderful young people. So glad they will be together. (They loved the stained glass car I made for them). :)
    Jo, hope that cyst heals quickly, sounds painful.
    Interesting about the goat hanging out with deer, Roger. Those lizards, on the other hand, sound like a menace. Maybe we should be more careful about what pets we allow people to import, knowing how irresponsible some people can be.
    Irene, hope they got your pool heater in.
    We went to the fair yesterday, but the art exhibit was closed for judging....I guess there were too many entries for them to do it Friday night. So we'll have to go back to see it. We did see a pig race and a duck race which were kind of fun, and plenty of farm animals.
    Happy Sunday, everyone. :)

    humor is posted once again

    Hi
    I'm back from walking and once again no cents. The Temperature out the door was 78 degrees and uncomfortable walking due to humidity.
    Last night at 10PM it was still 87 degrees and the temperature never dropped that much IMO.

    I decided to mow the lawn Sunday, was out the door to mow at 8AM and ended up soaked with sweat.

    Hi Vix
    I thought that it was interesting too, Goat and Deer, I dug up that link after it surfaced on the TV news.

    The same sort of problem has surfaced with people turning pet fish loose in the wild when they get to big.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakehead_(fish)
    "Since 2002, it has been illegal to possess a live snakehead in many US states, where they are considered a destructive invasive species. "Virginia has criminalized the "introduction" of snakeheads into the state without specific authorization, although the relevant statute does not explain whether mere importation is sufficient to constitute "introduction into the Commonwealth" or whether instead release into the environment is required.

    hi all, hey on our walk I found 5 cents . Our pool heater is in and working nicely got in the pool and it was nice at 82. Jo hope you get better fast Hi vix and Roger
    Hi Irene
    That installation went well from the sound of it and should extend the useful period of time You can use the pool each year.

    Congratulations on the walking and the 5 cents

    Good morning;
    Yesterday we cleaned out the shed. I had an old bike of my sons, a patio table and a spreader, that I put out by the curb and by late afternoon they were gone.
    Irene-congrats on the 5 cents and getting your pool heater installed. I sometimes miss my pool, but not the maintenance.
    Vix-The fair sounds like fun. I haven't been to one in years, maybe this year.
    Hi Roger.
    Laundry, a little house cleaning and a trip to goodwill are on the agenda for today.
    I am also making banana bread for hubby. It smell wonderful.
    Have a great day and stay cool. :)

    Jo, I hope you're feeling better. Love banana bread. :wink:
    I made some jambalaya for hubby last night (I had some too...yum.)
    Enjoy the nice warm pool, Irene.
    Roger, I've read about those fish before....they are very destructive to local fish populations and environment. Good that you got your walk in early. It was too hot yesterday, continuing through the next few days.
    No special plans for today. Wishing everyone a good week. Happy Monday. :)
