We went to union depot in downtown St. Paul to see a 1942 Steam engine. Big Boy.

Long lines to get inside the train. Too hot ans humid for that. Fun to see so many people. I imagined the sound in the train station to be like it was 70 years ago.
Track run along the Mississippi river.

KarenVA: Birthday Felicitations! 🥂🍾
I am also having error messages and access problems the last couple of days. Just keep reminding myself it’s free! 😂

MFP was totally wacko this afternoon. It kept saying I needed to log in...Duh! I was logged in. Finally seems to be back to normal.

Sue... good news about your eyes!
Ladies ... thanks! I agree that NO Lupus is good news.
Karen VA ... Happy Birthday!
Went to a belated birthday lunch with two friends at a lakeshore restaurant. Always enjoy sitting near the water. Lunch was so-so. I'm becoming a food snob!
Getting ready for hot weather here too. When did we start gauging heat with the index? Isn't 105 hot enough without saying it's "real feel" is 115? It reminds me of windchill temperatures here in the north. Hot is hot and cold is cold!! Enough already.

Did the Biggest Loser Power Sculpt DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to take the water class.
Vince talked yesterday about cutting the grass today. I bet we do. We’re having a pool party for the Newcomers next Saturday. Planning to make “bowling pins” as a decoration. The “alley” will be a yoga mat, the “bumpers” will be pool noodles, the “ball” will be a small beach ball, the “pins” will be empty soda bottles with a red stripe and the inside will be a drop of white paint mixed with water. The guy who is co-hosting is a chemist so he told me how to do it, actually…he’s going to do it. We’re planning to have a sort-of pool party just for the families on my block. I can tell that Vince for whatever reason isn’t crazy about the idea. Why, I don’t know. He keeps coming up with every excuse why we shouldn’t have it. I just think it would be nice to get to know all the new neighbors – there are three of them. I really would like to do it for the entire neighborhood, but there is no way we can handle it ourselves with all those people. Maybe next year if I can find someone to help us. The one lady who used to help with the neighborhood picnic they had many years ago isn’t interested at all in helping. She just wants to come and enjoy herself. That’s what she told me. She told me that I should just invite certain people and no one will find out or get hurt. Not true. I found out and, honestly, I was a bit hurt that I wasn’t included. The second time this happened, I decided it wasn’t worth it to be hurt.
Soup kitchen tomorrow
Suebdew – so glad your eyes are OK
Karen in VA – happy birthday. Another 39th birthday, huh?
Jennie – you rock not going to the store!
Cut the grass today. While I was weedwacking it started to rain. Unfortunately, it just made it more humid. I certainly can stand it, but I’m sure the native NCarolineans are up in arms.
Don’t know why, but I’m yawning so much today.
Michele in NC

Margaret That's so neat that you got to see Big Boy 4014! I wonder if Vicki GI or Meg in Omaha will get to see it.
Heather I'm currently working 2 days/week, going down to 1 day/week soon. I think I will try to hang in there until next fall (2020), when I will have 30 years with the company. There is a financial incentive to do that, and I am fortunate that my company will allow me to cut my hours but still keep the clock ticking on the 30 years. They don't have to do that. My partner is still working full time until the end of 2021. She wants to retire sooner, but her retirement benefits will be significantly affected if she leaves sooner than planned. So if I keep working 1-2 days per week it helps keep peace between us about that. This fall will be very busy, as I will be learning coach for my grandson again, and when Lilliana Belle arrives in October, it won't be long before we are involved in her care a couple of afternoons a week. Juggle juggle. Something you are familiar with.
I've had a good birthday! I spent the day doing things with my partner, and it's been very low key & pleasant. We started off with Eggs Benedict at a diner. Then some necessary Home Depot shopping. Later, we went to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts to see "A Return to the Grand Tour: Micromosaic Jewels from the Collection of Elizabeth Locke" (see photos below). On the way home we picked up watermelon mojito smoothies from Tropical Smoothie & a cupcake for each of us from Smallcakes (rare treats both). Also brought home a box of 4 doggie cupcakes. One of our pups really liked his cupcake. We watched the news, and my partner has gone off to get horizontal. To top it off, my Facebook birthday fundraiser for our local neighborhood nonprofit swim team reached its goal today! I am now sitting in the family room enjoying a thunderstorm. I am very content. Grateful that the dogs are not nervous with the weather. Farley used to be so afraid of the sounds of storms, but the 3 dogs we have left are easily reassured.
Here are some photos of the micromosaics. I loved them. They are very small. For example, the butterfly mosaics are each less than 2 inches in diameter. The rooster is perhaps 2" x 3". Magnifying glasses were provided so we could look at them in detail.

Meant to make file smaller so it might not load for some. Making up for lost time. I went to a rock painting class yesterday.
I am also enjoying monarchs in our yard because I let milkweed dominate parts of our garden. I watched a female laying eggs on a few of the leaves. Hoping them make it to be butterflies. I learned you leave them outside. They are thrown off be artificial light. Last year I protected a chrysalis with a bird cage to help it make it to a butterfly.

Just figured out how to post a picture. Don't know how to make it smaller though...
We're having a grandbaby in December! (My hubby pitching to our baby - the new Daddy)
I love seeing the pictures from all of you! Helps make it feel like I'm getting to know you all better.
Also, our babies at home:

Regarding the allergy ...
I eat the same things every day, so since this just started up 3 days ago, I wouldn't think it has to do with food.
Also, it doesn't happen at work, walking around town, on the bus or downstairs in our house. It comes on when I'm sitting in "My Spot".
However, I have been doing work in our dressing room during commercial breaks, and I have a known dust mite allergy, and cloth is known for harbouring dust mites, so it is possible that I'm stirring up the dust mites.
The other possibility I may investigate this weekend is mould. There are a couple plants near "My Spot", and one looks like it has been over-watered. I noticed that it is sitting in a tray half-full of water. I might empty the water out and see if that makes a difference.
I've also been extra-tired the last few days, so it could be a winter virus too ... who knows!

KarenVA - Happy Birthday. Hope it was a special day for you. Your DGD looks very happy.
I was very relieved that mt eyes are stable as I have had macular degeneration for 16 years. When I was diagnosed I was told I might lose my sight in 5 years so I feel very blessed to still be ok.
Rebecca- Your baby is so beautiful. She could be a baby model.3 -

Rita - I absolutely love Dr. Hook! We danced to one of their songs at our wedding in 87 and at our daughter’s wedding it was played and the girls joined us for a dance.
Rebecca - Athena is beautiful!
Rori - I replaced my first flapper a month or so ago. So easy!
Karen - happy Birthday
I am very envious of you all having heat. It has rained every day here at least once of not all day since the beginning of June if not earlier. Our furnace has been on at least once a week since last September. I don’t think we’re getting summer this year.
I still have a page to go!
