    Thanks ladies💖
    Lee got up early so he could help son. They organized his ribbons a bit on his whites. 1400 is his Chief's Mast. The scary thing is worse case scenario, they bust him down to 3rd Class, then he has more years in the Navy to be that rank. So he would have to separate from the Navy. No retirement, just out. A civilian job won't bring in the same amount of money to pay for his portion of rent and bills, so we would all be moving. Scary! I just hope the higher ups that didnt wear masks either won't just throw these sailors under the bus. Just trying to think positive that things will work out, it will get dismissed. 🍀👍
    Today I did not exercise.

    Rebecca- praying for a good outcome..
    My DD cant catch a break.. she got a letter from her OB saying they dont do payment plans and that she will owe them $6000.00 when she has the baby ,so now she is freaking out..told her first of all calm down and call her insurance company and explain the situation.. her insurance renews in October and she has a 6000.00 deductible.. if it is through the hospital yes they can make payments monthly..i also asked what she was going to do for care after baby is born.. got no answer there.

    Good day. Nice to chat with my friends again on Zoom and even to hear my difficult friend's saga of how stressful it was to get home from France. :p
    Temperature bearable in the house and I've watched some inspiring videos.

    I am hoping DH's journey home from cricket is easy. Sitting all day in the sun is not a great idea so I hope he found some shade. I gave him strict instructions to drink water. He left at 6.

    Now 7 pages from the end of my edit. I actually wrote a new section this morning. :D

    Hugs for those who need them. <3

    Love Heather UK xxxxxx

    Margaret — DH recommends stick deodorant to reduce bee sting & wasp pain. It has helped him many times. 😘

    Katla--So happy to hear your microwave and oven are installed and working. Sounds like you are making good time on the baby blanket. I have made several this year for new babies and working on the last one for now and having trouble getting myself to work on it and the baby will be 2 months old the 7th of August. Then I have 2 christmas stockings to make for the 2 new grandbabies. Time is just flying by.

    Rebecca--Sending prayers and good thoughts to your son. I hope they dismiss this and put it to rest.

    Lisa--Glad you are feeling better. Levi is sure a cutie. Thanks for sharing.

    Carol--Prayers said.

    Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND NE <3

    Debbie- does you Mom need to do this to supplement her income? It seems like a lot!
    Goldfish crackers are one of my favourite snacks.



    Tracey in Edmonton

    I don't know and right now, she doesn't even know if she will need it- They have always counted on it until last year and then the restaurants that buy from her were closed.
    She is just trying to figure things out right now.
    She is such a giving person that she would rather just give it all away to those who want it but she may not be able to. Same with the eggs- price of feed keeps going up so she needs to charge a little more but she hates to do that.

    Do you cross stich or embroider? My mother made embroidered baby quilts for each of my boys. They are very beautiful, and we used them a lot.

    Something like this would be nice. And with the kits, I think the fabric comes pre quilted, so you just have to follow the pattern. (The ones my mother made were no where near this detailed!)

    Evie -
    Happy birthday a day late, and well done on the bike!

    Allie -
    Glad you're getting it checked--you don't need another worry hanging over your head...

    Karen -
    What a great picture! You can tell exactly who they are through those expressions, and it's impossible to believe they're that big! Gorgeous blonde locks make it the picture of childhood... and that bandaid on Olivia's knee is the topper on the whole image.

    Penny -
    Well done to get your ounce-a-day average loss.


    My incremental healing continues. For the last three nights, only woke up once each night and was able to go back to sleep each time - to the point that I was still in bed at Corey's alarm this morning, haven't done that in a while. Wish there was something I could point to and say, "that's what's helping," so I could keep doing that... but am trying to simply notice that I feel better and be grateful for that much.

    Just wonderful to feel like I have a little energy and drive again. Didn't realize how still I was being until I started moving around again... I've lost three pounds so far this month, as well, as my appetite has been depressed by one or more of the drugs I take each day. I'm honestly not sure which one, I'm taking a handful of them right now.

    Am going to get a few things done this morning, as that's still my most active time, and will drop in again later, most likely. Oh, I almost forgot! Levi sighting--Mama had just told him no...:

    LOVE the picture- so cute
    Glad you are slowly feeling better- pray that it continues

    Jump back July:
    22-find 3 things you feel hopeful about and write them down. 1. Joe’s positive attitude, 2. Joe’s healthy choices. 3. The possibility of going to the Skye Terrier Specialties and meeting Jinx’s breeder.

    Oops, didn’t post yesterday, was too pooped from dog group.

    Welcome @cantstopher! Congratulations for taking off those 50 lbs. Heightened cholesterol and pre-diabetes just don’t seem far, but I believe your commitment to increased exercise will help both.
    Heather “… my favorite day” :love: Congrats on the editing and additional writing.
    Viv fingers X’d for the Dr. Appt.
    Kylia “just plants” can mean a lot. Mama left Papa for a few days after he (accidentally) dug up a plant she’d brought home from her brother’s funeral.
    Lisa Oh that Levi! We call that “boo boo face.”
    KJ hope your kiddos heal soon. Love hearing about your “week”s. Do you put “warning letters” in Tim’s file? :laugh:
    Julie SMH at optician not testing for astigmatism, but hardly surprising considering her “manager.” So sorry you were subjected to such treatment. Will you review the shop on social media?
    Debbie sounds like your mom really needs more, consistent help than she’s geeting from the neighbors. Would she consider turning part of the garden into a 4H project next year? The kids could do the work, under her supervision, then sell and deliver to the restaurants, and split the proceeds with your mom payment for land rent and her expertise?
    Rita stunning California poppy in the New Mexico desert. Would you be sad to leave or are you ready for a change in scenery?
    Rebecca prayers said and sent. RHIP, so hard to understand. Is Athena fishing? Looks like she’s not so sure about that bait…
    Katla waiting on microwave and stove installer for over a month? However did you cook? So glad to hear new are installed!
    Allie fingers X’d for next Thursday’s neuroopthamologist appointment.
    Machka I’m a little jealous, I can do nothing without my glasses but sleep and shower.
    Tracey two years is a long time to suffer with no diagnostics tests. Good luck on the 5th! Thought the same thing about KJ’s monarch eggs… ;)
    Barbie “…gave myself a sticker…” Love it!
    Evelyn belated best birthday wishes! Loved Driving Miss Daisy, especially the scene where she let her driver know that since he knew his letters he could read enough to find the name she was looking for.
    Karen :love: the pic of Olivia and Phoenix!
    Penny what you said to Michele about time. Truth that!
    Kiz thank you so much for sharing your testing schedule and journey. How did you get your insulin tested?
    Margaret six wasp stings, owowowow. Wasps are one of those “whatever was God thinking…” things, like mosquitoes and poison oak.
    Carol prayers for your friend. Are there any churches in her area whose members volunteer to drive seniors to Dr. appts or the store?
    Annie so glad Henry took it calmly and the corgi was able to walk. It could all have been so very much worse.


    Lighter, lovelies!

    That is a great idea. I will suggest it to her plus I can talk to a friend(her sister was my BFF until she passed away-friends since the first day of 5th grade) who is a 4-H leader.

    Athena and parents went to a nearby falls. Not fishing. Just Athena being her sweet self!

    Update! Son and 5 others were found guilty of not wearing their masks, but no disciplinary actions taken. Nothing put in his record. Husband and I both breathing a sigh of relief. 💖🍀👍
    We need to go out and celebrate!!!

    Did toning segment of Gilad 45/45 Split DVD then took my walk. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Reebok Step the video DVD.

    Made pineapple zucchini muffins for me (there are raisins in it so there’s no way I can hide them from Vince). Then cut the grass (thank goodness it isn’t humid here) then in the pool.

    Evelyn – happy birthday

    Lisa – Oh Levi, my heart’s a flutter. Can you just see him and Athena together?

    M – congrats on getting that chair and your run

    Margaret – wasp stings really s***. Feel better fast. We have a WHY (wasp, hornet, yellowjacket) trap by the pool. I got it at Lowe’s Hardware. It catches EVERYTHING from wasps, hornets, yellowjackets to flys, mosquitos, moths, beetles, etc. Only I use applejuice as the attractant. I read that the stuff they give you when you buy the trap really doesn’t work all that well plus is expensive.

    Rebecca – good thoughts Update: PHEW!!!!

    Sue WA – How I miss my water aerobics class! I really wish the gym I go to now had a pool

    Went to WalMart and then played mahjongg by the pool.

    Debbie – that sounds like a real good deal to me. Win-Win for everyone

    Rebecca That is awesome news!

    So I googled Healthy Chicken Salad recipes this morning. Found one on ifoodreal dot com. That was lunch today. It was yummy! More plain yogurt with only a little mayonnaise. I am finding it hard to get enough calories when I make good choices, cook at home, and am full most of the time. ( I know, such a tough problem(sarcastic)) I added 1/2 cup of greek yogurt tonight with berries just to bring it closer. Was too busy at work to snack!

    Katla I know this about her. It just is hard for me to swallow. My son in law is fit to be tied. She had an appointment this morning, so didn't get to work until 11. No biggie except we were busy and my son in law is currently doing pick up and delivery as well as all the other stuffs he does. I had no back up. Luckily, as long as I say hi, most customers are great! Of course, when she gets there, she has to do "her work" (which I understand, but what about mine?) I had to ignore the phone so that I could get stuffs done and she would answer sometimes! She didn't pass on the message that a customer wouldn't be home until 4 to me or son in law, so he wasted 1/2 hr going to pick up a unit only to have to go back out again to pick it up. Couldn't ask her about it as she left at 3 as he was pulling in without so much as a *&%$ you. Once again, we got busy. Some guy tried to jump the line by handing his claim check to DH who then stops me to assist. I told him the guy would have to wait. He had two people in front of him that had been waiting longer! SMH! We were busy until 5:20. Son in law mad that he had to leave me to go get the mower. Yes, son in law has my back, but you can only lead the horse to water so many times before it dies of thirst because it won't drink. I have a doctor's appointment in the morning. Usually I schedule before work, but doctor changed it to 9:15 (we open at 9). Sis in law will have both my DH and son in law to assist her. Whew, didn't mean for that to be so long, sorry.

    Anyways, I finally got the kitchen cleaned, floor mopped, had my hot tea, and am heading to bed! I keep saying I have work to catch up on, but no one seems to care until they do.....Maybe, just maybe, I can get some invoices done tomorrow-hahaha!

    Have a wonderful evening/day!
    You are all WONDERFUL!
    <3
    Kylia in Ohio where oh yeah, the guy putting down the grass seed didn't feel like it today
