    I noticed That Yesterday a third airliner had an outbreak of flu coming out of Meca, Only two of the three were reported on TV here, They never mentioned the one in France.

    Hi Joanne

    Hi Vix

    good morning, well the byers have agreed on our terms and signed off and they set up an appt for a home inspection for Monday I guess the realtor must of talked to him. I believe the closing is still set for the 1st,I will find out later today . Roger it is so hot here the only thing I plan on doing is hanging out at the pool hey Jo and Vix
    Hi Irene
    Good News regarding the house, is this the First buyer that wanted so many conditions ?
    If so it sounds like they were trying them on for size as some sort of negotiating tactic and when You told them no...
    Or is it the ones that viewed the house this week ?
    good morning, Well I only mowed the front yard it got so hot I figured I can mow the back maybe Monday the back is actually fine . Well I won't have to go to the home inspection the realtors prefer if we aren't there which is fine with me. Now our home inspection is set up for the following Monday you should see the list that they will be looking at lets hope we pass. take care everyone, oh I did walk this morning and it was still warm 72 at 3am
    I was out watering the front flower bed Thursday Afternoon as the Dahlias were wilted, what I did was let the hose trickle by the where the stems come out for a while at each plant and moved it periodically and that used up three hours to get a good soaking, the first ones had perked up before I finished. It was too darn hot in the afternoon to do more that run out move the hose and run back in. You must have been feeling it mowing.

    Interesting that they prefer You not to be there, I know my Youngest brother was present for the home inspection when he sold his home before getting out of NJ.

    You were lucky it was warm and humid this morning, IMO the Weatherman Lied about the overnight temperatures and humidity levels.

    Have a Good Day

    I did see one Deer near home on the outbound leg heading for my coffee, Approximately 1/2 way to picking up the coffee a drizzle started that turned into a steady slow rain. It was not all that comfortable under the rain poncho, then around 6 blocks from the house the rain ended.

    good morning, went for our walk it rained the whole time I did have a rain jacket on but I took it off the rain felt good. Roger If we lived there I would probably be there but if I don't need to be there I will stay home. The following Monday we have another inspection but it is with the city it does involved a lot it actually has 3 pages of stuff so we will go over the paper and hopefully everything will be ok because if they have to come back they charge 50.00 I never heard of this when we sold our house in Spokane ,Wa we didn't have to do this but nj is always trying to get more money it already cost us 200.00 for the inspection keep you fingers crossed that we pass the first time. take care everyone

    Good morning;
    It has been cooler here for the past 3 days. I actually had a light jacket on most of yesterday.
    We went to Brimfield antique fair. It is held three times a year. We walked 5.3 miles. I didn't buy anything but got in some exercise.
    I didn't get my license renewed. The registry computers went down statewide. I got there a little before 9. Two people were able to get their license before the computer went down. I sat there until 11 and they still didn't come up, so I will try again Monday.
    Irene-good luck with the home inspection.
    Roger-I found 11 cents this week.
    Vix-I hope you are having good weather.

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking no cents. The Temperature out the door was 58 degrees, And there is a light rain falling.

    I had planned to Mow the lawn today, Unfortunately the next few days according to the weather forecasts are predicting to be rainy. A darn shame since today's high temperature is forecast to be in the 60s.

    Hi Irene
    Interesting, I hate getting wet.

    I agree, if they could figure a way to charge for each breath we take NJ would do it.

    3 pages is a lot of things to check. I hope all goes well with the inspection.

    Good Luck

    Hi Joanne
    The computers going down sounds like NJ TBH.

    Today was the first day I felt the need for light gloves, no jacket needed as with the light rain the rain poncho served as a windbreaker and it was enough.

    You did better than I finding money this past week.

    Wow, lots of miles and it must have been interesting doing the walking.

    Good Luck Monday

    Hello.
    Back from Maine. It was nice and we had good weather. It only rained when we went on a boat tour, but they had a covered section and visibility was still good. The seals were swimming instead of sunning. The main road into Bar Harbor is under construction, so we were using a lot of back roads to get places. We were there in the early 70s, rented a room over a bar on Main St., walked down to a simple waterfront restaurant/shack. Those are gone. It is so built up now. Still a quaint town, but so much more commercial. Acadia is nice, pretty views. It was good to get away for a few days.
    Good luck with the inspections, Irene.
    Belated Happy Anniversary, Jo. Hope you had a good one. :) Nice that you have time off and some cooler weather to enjoy.
    Roger, I still like seeing deer even if they eat gardens. There was one wandering around the lawn at our hotel, also almost ran into a fox while walking up the driveway.We stared at each other for a few seconds. They have very small reddish squirrels, very quick and chattery. We saw bald eagles, 2 types of seals, and lots of birds.
    Happy Sunday, everyone. :)

    Vix-I am glad you had a nice time and that the weather was good.
    Yesterday I put away some of the deck furniture and lawn ornaments.
    We are expecting rain today and tomorrow the temps will sore again and be humid.
    I am going to try my luck at AAA to get my license renewed again. Since I will be over that way I will stop in at Whole Foods.

    Hi
    I'm back home from not walking so no cents. The Temperature outside the door was 58 degrees.It rained all day Sunday once it started, a light rain but it never really went away...
    Then I could hear it hitting the window AC and as I look out the window there is still a light rain falling.
    I am getting ready to have my first sip of coffee.

    Why no walking ? Sore Knee, I did not see a Rock in the rain and the less than perfect vision from the hoodie and when I stepped on that rock, that was all she wrote, Scraped one knee, banged up the other one worse. I shall live to walk another day, I decided that with the soreness I would take a couple of days off from walking. Next Time I go that way I plan to throw that darned rock where I can not do that again as I do go that way approximately every three days.

    Hi Irene
    I worry about walking in the rain since I always have things in my pocket that I would not want to get wet. Your rain sounds lighter, I have finished walking in the rain when it was a light drizzle, not worth the bother to open the Rain Poncho and put it on.

    Congratulations on the Steps

    Hi Vix
    Welcome Home, I am not surprised that it has gone commercial TBH. I'm sure getting away was great. BTW Is the house equipped with an alarm if for nothing else when You are away or is Your area that good that there is no need.

    The Deer are OK to watch as long as I am not looking out the back window at them in the garden :wink:
    I see tons of common Squirrels and Rabbits when I am walking. I hear non melodic Honking and see the Geese flying overhead on their way to feed. I am more likely to see Buzzards that Eagles :( I do see Hawks and or Falcons flying overhead riding the thermals looking for their next meal. The Ducks are neat the way they land on the lake and streams.

    Have a Good Week

    Hi Joanne
    Is it that time of year to put the yard things away already ?

    That is out forecast too, Warmer for much of the week with the humidity soaring and rain showing through Friday depending on where or if and the path of the Hurricane that is currently predicted to hit the Carolinas.

    I decided that Whole Foods was not worth the visit when the discontinued the Breakfast Hot food bar and the only thing that was there that I liked was their Butter. And now I see that the workers want to unionize and considering who owns them that could get ugly quick.

    I try to get my License and Registration renewals done early usually middle of the month before they expire. My D/L was renewed in 2017 and runs out in 2021. How long are Yours good for ? Registrations are only good for one year and can be done at the MVC office or by mail.

    Good Luck with the Renewal.

    Good morning.
    Rained here all day yesterday and into today too....looks like mostly rain for the next 10 days, although the temps are mostly in the 70s which is ok with me. My DL is good for 8 years (got it renewed in 2013, due in 2021) We can renew our registrations online, and they mail the updated registration card and sticker.
    Irene, we saw a few cars up there with "just married" on them. Popular honeymoon spot. :) Good luck with all the inspections. It is simpler here in MD.
    Roger, hope your knees are feeling better...always bad to take a fall. My bruise is finally fading from my shot 3 weeks ago.
    Jo, hope all goes well with getting your license renewed. The little hassles...
    No plans for today. We went grocery shopping yesterday and I did the laundry from our trip.
    I have some straightening up and paperwork to take care of today. That's about it.
    Happy Monday, everyone. :)

    I got my license renewed, in and out in about 20 minutes. I got the new one called real ID.
    It will be needed to fly within the US by 2020, if you don't want to carry your passport.
    I did need to show my passport, current driver's license, a W2 form and a credit card statement. These all got faxed into the registry data base. It is good for 5 years.
    Today I plan on getting a pedicure and running a few errands.
    Our rain started last night and is supposed to continue all day.

    Hi Irene
    You got out and did the walking, congrats

    I hope the inspection went well for You. I had not heard that a Fire Extinguisher was a requirement, Maybe a Trenton requirement ? Smoke detectors I know, In Some areas also a CO2 detector is required possibly all nowadays. I have both in the basement since I do spend time down there.
    That reminds me I need to put fresh chimney cement around where the furnace pipe goes into it, I noticed it was crumbling last year and the can stated do it with a cold surface so I want to get it done before heating season arrives.

    The Knee feels OK and probably I shall resume walking tomorrow. It does not take long to get out of shape. The worst pain now is the sore arm from the Tetanus shot since I could not remember when the last one was, Likely it was before Superstorm Sandy. I plan to get to the Drug Store for a Flu Shot in the near future, Likely the next time my brother will be out of the driveway for a while and I can get the car out, I plan to also go to the bank and fill the car at that time. This will be the third time I put gas in the car this year. I do not put many miles on as You can see.

    Good Luck with the house
