Pour yourself a mug of your favorite morning brew. Pull up a chair and join us for our morning roll call here on the BBB.

My friendship with Mitzi was like the friendship that many children have with their pets. My mother and father thought it was good for me to have a dog for a companion. Well it was good for me, but it was only many years after she died that I began to understand how good it was, and why.

    Mornin' BBB

    Usually the family has picked through all the good stuff at estate sales, but often interesting.
    Weekend at trial was hot. Lucy got a third place ribbon in puppy stake. Might have been a first if not for a little bad luck. Babe ran well but didn't quite shine bright enough either day.
    CPR and first aid saves lives. Classes are usually boring and need comedic infusion. Maybe if Lou was the presenter/lecturer.
    Speaking of Lou, nice target! 9 mil?
    Please send rain to North East.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning
    Funny Lee. Congratulations on the ribbon!!

    Church yesterday was a tear jerker. Our pastor of 30 years preached his last sermon. He’s getting to retire. Installed the new pastor at 4 yesterday. We didn’t go to that.

    Had the family of 8 over to swim. I grilled out. It was exhausting. The 2 oldest girls will stay here for 1/2 the time while we are gone for 10 nights in September. Big cruise. Woo hoo

    I’m down about 10# and I can tell. If I could drop another 10 that’d be perfect.

    Mary, I think I’d like to go to an estate sale. Sounds like fun.

    Wilderness training would definitely be interesting.

    Oh, I paid UPS $10 to deliver a package between 11-1. Nope. They finally showed up at 4 with no one home. Now, I have to go to the UPS store and wait in line to get it. Ugh.
    Make it a great day.

    Morning~

    #SummerofLou continues with (insert exciting new adventure here)

    Friends visit continues. We poured a VERY nice magnum for dinner last night that I received last Christmas. WOWZA!

    Went on trail walk yesterday with friends and #Tucker. 100 yards from house - Tucker "tuckered out."

    He then came home and didn't get out of the pool for about 90 straight minutes. #Doglife!

    Congrats, Kelly on the loss! Sorry about the pastoral change. Hope it all works out well with changing of the guard.

    Cheers,
    Skip

    Good morning BBB friends.

    I need to start getting ready for our cruise, too. DW and DS keep asking me whether I am excited. Meh. It's like our many trips to Las Vegas. I go to please DW, and I'm careful to put on a happy face, but am pretty indifferent, really. Everything I want is here at home. A dull guy.

    Tucker is a smart boy! Heat index must have been high. Good job listening to your dog. Some dogs (insert my dogs), will keep going until they hurt themselves. We have to be very careful training and trialing in this heat.
    Congrats on being a loser, Kelly. Keep on keeping on.
    You will have fun watching the grands have fun, Dave.

    Morning BBB

    I’d like to drop #10 more too. Not sure what else I can do. I eat super clean on whole food plant based. No sugar or cheese which used to be my problem. Have a beer once a week or so. Really no drinks except water and black coffee. Hike 5-10 miles or bike 20 almost daily. This week I’m going to eat only fruit as a snack instead of nuts to see if that helps. Or maybe this is just where I’m supposed to be. I’ve only been lighter once in my life 10 years ago.

    Two long days of first aid class was a lot of sitting. Thankfully there were hands on exercises every couple of hours. Even stage blood for one of them. k8ujckob0f1q.jpeg

    Good morning

    Congrats on your weight loss Steph and Kelly!

    Rain has finally moved out and its a beautiful morning. If we can now get Saturdays yard work done this morning we have the next 8 days to vacation.

    The air bnb sold across the street to non property renting owners. This makes their neighbors happy.didnt bother us any, really had no issues with the rental guests.

    Have a great day BBB

    Steph. I bet the switching to fruit would help. Sounds like you’re doing everything right.

    Dave, when and where is your cruise? And I’m SUPER DUPER EXCITED!!!!

    Blessed hot here. I just got the yard mowed. Looks like rain any sec.

    Got my watch. Iffy on it. I’ll put it back on later and see about adjusting the band. If I don’t LOVE it, it’s going back.
