Hi
I'm back from walking and as I was walking across the parking lot to pick up my refill of coffee I found a penny, then leaving I found a second penny in their driveway, then crossing the street I spotted the third penny so I ended up with a grand total of 3 cents. The temperature this morning was 63 degrees. The walking was really nice today, There is a 70% chance of rain for today and the sky does have that appearance.
I hope our rain holds off as my brother mentioned yesterday that the mower smelled hot when he mowed so I hope I can get the shroud off and check to see if mice built a nest in the area over the cooling fins blocking the air flow as has happened in the past. Depends on the rain holding off.

Hi
I'm back from walking no cents. The temperature this morning was 54 degrees and the walking was OK until the light wind arrived. There is rain in the forecast for later on today. Today's Plans are Bank then CostCo.
FWIW FedEx dropped off the frozen at 7:08 PMI was checking it in and storing it away until 8PM.
I had the new NS Cinnamon Coffee Cake @ 170 Calories before heading out the door, I put it in the refrigerator and gave it enough time in the MW to warm it instead of MW'ing it from frozen as indicated on the package or eating it at room temperature which was the alternative given. It was tasty too.
Today's CostCo visit is for three types of paper goods, TP, Kleenex and paper towels. One opened sleeve of TP left, One roll of paper towels and 6 Kleenex so a case of all three is indicated. Then I will look at the Fruit and see if anything looks good and pick up frozen vegetables.
FWIW the Frozen Vegetable selection at Whole Foods was not as good as at the ShopRite and pricier, OTOH 16 ounce bags at WF vs 12 ounce bags at the grocery store
I am thinking of hitting WF in the next few days for more Bacon to make BLTs with as their bacon was tasty.

Hi
I'm back from walking no cents. The temperature this morning was 63 degrees and the walking was good.
Today is looking nice outside and the Iris that I thought would possibly open today ended up opening in the
afternoon Thursday. Rain is showing in the weather forecast for Saturday and Sunday
I had the new NS Butterscotch Cake @ 140 Calories before heading out the door, I put it in the refrigerator overnight and gave it enough time in the MW to warm it up. It was tasty not quite as good as the Cinnamon Coffee Cake, OTOH better than the NS Carrot Cake.
I did go to the bank and CostCo yesterday and spent $94.43 on the paper goods, vegetables, Apples etc.

Hi
I'm back from walking no cents. The temperature this morning was 55 degrees and the walking was good considering the light rain falling. Our Friday was a really nice day, not to hot, not to cold and dry
This mornings rain is forecast to end in a while then a break before what is predicted to be heavy rain lots of wind, lightning and a possibility of rotating winds
Today I need to resist the temptation to go get some PAD SEE EW, Stir fried broad rice noodles in sweet soy sauce with Chinese broccoli and eggs
or Pad Thai, Stir fried rice noodles with eggs, bean sprouts, tofu and scallions.
I had the new NS Lemon Zest Cake @ 140 Calories before heading out the door, I put it in the refrigerator overnight and gave it enough time in the MW to warm it up. It was tasty I think I prefer the Cinnamon Coffee Cake. I consider all three of the new snack cakes to be a good addition to the NS snacks.

I had the New Baked Banana and Chocolate Oatmeal for breakfast Monday, I had ordered two and I wish I had only ordered one to try, oh well, I will not be reordering them FWIW.
My brother cut the grass yesterday, that makes the third cutting already. He did the initial cut two weeks ago, last week I did it and then it was his turn again. It does make it a bit less tedious alternating like that. Today is forecast to be in the 80s. It felt humid outside while walking and there was some fog in the air

I am giving serious thought to reloading to factory condition the one laptop. It has been to slow since it took the free upgrade to Windows 10. Doing that will require it to download almost all if not all of the Microsoft windows updates as I bought it new with Windows 7 right after Windows 7 was released.
I had the New NS Artichoke and Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast, Tasty enough, I could taste the Red Peppers in it OTOH so that limits its appeal for me. I will reorder just not heavy despite the nice low calorie count and low carb count.

Hi
I'm back from walking and 2 cents. The temperature this morning was 58 degrees.
It was raining when I left for Coffee and I shortened my walk as a result. According to this mornings forecast the rain should end sometime in the afternoon. This will make my brother grumpy as he is chafing to work on the garden. There is also rain in the forecast through Sunday.
