    Your photo looks very lovely and yes, put on some lipstick! LOL You did a good job of taming the bed head! :)

    Our little Athena is growing up before our eyes! <3

    I am thinking once my face clears up, I will look into some sort of make up like Parnell (been seeing lots of videos on that), and a lipstain. Part of my issues with lipstick is the heaviness and I literally can't talk normal!😂.
    Yep she is! You all are her aunties.💖

    Today my hair was straight up like a punk rocker but with some water and my fingers, it obeyed and went how I like it. I need some actual red lipstick now.😁

    Kids had company visiting, her friend from her childhood. She has a little boy younger than Athena though. He has some disabilities but looks likes quite the trooper and looks quite resilient handling it.👍🏼 He and Athena get along like peas and carrots.💖

    LOVE Multnomah Falls. I want to go back again. We have only been there once.
    I am so ready for a vacation, anywhere!! Last trip we did was our last cruise which was at the very beginning of Covid(we were on the Grand Princess-the people getting on the day we got off are the onese that got quarantined on it)

    Your hair looks so good. Mom has her's short, so does my younger sister.
    I have a hard time imagining what my hair would be like shorter. It is so curly with it really long.
    Not planning on cutting it to see.

    Heading up to mom's this evening. Looking forward to it- will be a working weekend, getting her greenhouse planted as much as I can.
    I picked up all kinds of seafood for me to cook for us. Seafood salad and sushi for tonight, salmon tomorrow night and shrimp on Sunday night.

    Walked MIL's dog for a shorter walk and will do the shorter path at the wetlands. I have, what I believe to be shingles popped up again on my foot. I get them every six months or so, only on my feet but in different spots. This time it is a cluster of blisters the size of a nickle right where the toes meet the ball of my foot, right in the middle. I did pop one of the blisters last night because it was hurting so much. That helped. May have to pop another one after my walk.

    Need to start packing my clothes and the plants I plan on taking up. Find the seeds(they aren't where I thought they were)

    We returned the loaner car today then went to Sam’s (I had a credit and wanted to get dishwashing detergent – theirs was rated the highest.) and Vince ordered new glasses. Then went to WalMart for a few things.

    Ginnny – yes, I totally and completely agree that anyone who has access to children (or the infirmed) should get a background check. When I worked in the school district, I had it. But I also think that there needs to be some reasoning. Like this one guy is a bingo caller. Heck, there aren’t even children IN the bingo room. Ushers – like they have access to children (unless they’re escorting them to the bathroom, but I wouldn’t let anyone else but myself usher my child to the bathroom and I would probably go in with them.). I think the church is probably over-compensating for all the religious sexual scandals. But I’m not going to pay the money just so I can lector. Like I said, I volunteer at the soup kitchen where I have much more access to children and they don’t require it. If I have to stop lectoring or counting the donations – I stop. I’m certainly not going to die. I wonder if the church is going to find themselves needing even more volunteers. The only problem I have is with the idea is that I have to pay to volunteer. And then I have to pay again to renew it.

    Hair – I usually cut my bangs myself and about every 6 months or so and then I go and have a regular haircut

    Debbie – One of the things I’m constantly amazed at is how thankful people are at the soup kitchen. It’s few and far between for someone to give you a hard time. Just last week this lady asked for a dish of water for her dog while she ate. So I gave it to her. I figure the dish is going to get sanitized when it goes thru the dishwasher, anyway. Well, someone else told her that she couldn’t do it because it was unsanitary. She apologized to me over and over and kept saying that she hoped she didn’t get me in any trouble. I wouldn’t call this unsanitary, but it CAN get out of control. So many people will say “thank you for doing this”. They just served their one millionth meal

    Tracey – I have no problem if I get the clearance for free. Somehow, tho, I suspect the church won’t do that. Guess we shall see. To me, it makes much more sense for them to do it.

    Rusty – have fun seeing Wicked. Are you seeing a play or the movie?

    Annie – what’s the matter???

    For the life of me I kept thinking that the guy who is basically taking Jerry’s place (actually, he’s doing a better job.) looked familiar. Today it dawned on me. I swear he could be Pete’s twin. They talk alike, they’re both on the thin side, will work hard, he even has a short beard like Pete! He’s Italian, too.

    Heather – really hope this round of antibiotics works to get rid of the UTI completely

    Rebecca – you look absolutely stunning in that picture

    Just got back from my walk around the neighborhood. Oh, one of my neighbors is having an estate sale. You should have seen how many cars there were! And I also saw that another neighbor just put their house on the market. Good for them they got a lot of drive-by traffic, which doesn’t happen much in my development. Guess I should call and see if I need to appear for jury duty Monday.

    Took two traffic cones to my neighbor for her to borrow for tomorrow so that people don’t turn around in her driveway. Today she parked a car at either end of the driveway. This way she won’t have to do without a car tomorrow.

    Good morning, my chickens, from the soon-to-be rainy morn of the socked-in Arkansas River Valley,

    My husband's heading into work for the morning to get one of the trucks fixed that just came in last night and needs to be available on Monday morning. Hate how tired he gets when he works this much overtime, but that kind of responsibility to his job is why his employer loves him. They treat him well.

    Since it's a rainy day, I will probably do my yoga and then work on the quilt I've got in progress. No pressure on anything today. Can't even express how lovely it is to not have anything medical for the next 17 days.

    Heather - Hope the next bout of antibiotics does it for the UTI, so glad you're on top of it, and the docs are willing to take your word. It's just not an option with the VA docs.

    Annie - That does not sound like any fun at all! Hope you're feeling much better today. Take care of yourself, dear heart.

    Machka - Love the color, it looks like it will brighten your space enormously.

    Vicki - What was the upshot overall on what's going on with your heart? You may have said and I missed it, sorry. You stay on my mind, especially with how hard you work.

    On with my day, hope yours is, was, or will be filled with joy and serenity,

    Love,
    Lisa in AR

    Good morning ladies!

    Thank you for your concern. I don't really know whether I had a bug or just severe dehydration. Thursday I climbed the stairs, and suddenly got so dizzy I was crashing into the walls. I stumbled to the bathroom, vomited, spent a few hours on the floor in there, and then made it to bed with a headache. I swear I wasn't drinking alcohol at all. I'm just lucky this was after I drove home from horseback riding.

    Could be dehydration. Did you drink water at all before, during or after your horseback riding?

    Have an extra couple glasses of water today.

    It's probably OK to exercise a bit ... go for a walk with your father.

    Good morning, ladies.

    Annie, sorry to hear about your illness. Hopefully it passes quickly.

    Rita, what characters are still needed? Would like to jump onboard.

    Hubby is getting busy here. Had the electrician out yesterday and he wired everything for the seed cleaner. Put a control panel in that has only two buttons to start the machine so a very simple setup. Also has a safety feature that will shut down the unit if it gets overloaded with grain. Hopefully it works good. He's still setting things up so probably won't be trying it out until later this afternoon.

    We are in a total fire ban area as I'm sure is most of the province is. Extremely dry here. Not able to burn our household garbage anymore so will just collect the bags in the garage then take them to our local dump. We usually just burn in our burning barrel in the yard but certainly can't do that for now. Lots of concern that we are going to be in a drought this year. Southern Alberta uses irrigation for crops and some areas have already been told they will only have access to 1/2 of the water they usually use. Will have a major impact on crops and also pastures for cattle.

    Enjoy the day.

    Joy

    We're in a drought in Tassie. Several places have water restrictions in place now.

    And the long range forecast (wild guess) is for a dry winter. That's usually when we get most of our rain.

    I keep hoping for another solid day of rain like we had a few weeks ago. That won't solve the problem but it would help.
