    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!

    More humor was just posted

    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.

    The Blue Car in this article is a Studebaker Lark :)

    Hello Joanne
    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.

    Have a Safe and Comfortable flight

    Hello Irene
    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

    Hello Vix
    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.

    Have a Great Day

    Hello Again
    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!
    Have a good night everyone!

    I posted more humor, One is slightly on the rough side ?

    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 :smiley:

    Hello Irene
    The waiting is really tough. I want to have already been treated :(

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

    A EF1 Tornado up north in NJ, Luckily that school was not damaged and the people that were there are OK.

    Thank You

    Hello Vix
    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.
    Roger

    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. :)

    I have posted more humor, Enjoy

    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.

    Good Morning Irene
    The weather has been a bit crazy this week. To the good, No watering is needed :wink:

    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.

    The placard should help with the grocery shopping and more. I just wish I did not need the assist.

    Congratulations on how the Yard is coming along.
