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.

    Mornin' BBB

    DW's flight out of Newark canceled Sunday evening, but she hopped on another flight but into the wrong city in Germany, Munich instead of Frankfurt. Then lost baggage, then delayed hop flight to Frankfurt, then once at her final destination a good 10 hours later than planned, she walked into heightened US military base security (Charlie for those who know) and can't go onto the military installation or housing. Thankfully, she had arranged for an Airbnb for her first week there, so she had a place to sleep.
    I'm just hanging with the cat and my girls.
    Lentil soup sounds amazing. Yum.
    Happy belated Birthday to Sassy.
    Mary, when you are done with your perennial garden, my back forty needs some work.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning!

    I'm telling myself I don't need to be worried about the side garden. I can't see it lol. I'm on pack for vacation mode, not weed garden. The mosquitoes are ferice in WI right now, anyhow. Might it be from all the RAIN? Oh ...its raing today btw.

    Dh says I have too much stuff going. Huh? I'm not nearly done packing. I'm taking my car too so....

    Bought new cushions, on sale, spent $128 for the $25 outdoor wicker patio set I bought from an older lady, moving to asst living, last fall.

    Tucs gonna love his new doc ! We hope.

    So glad Gramma Mary D is near that baby boy! Whew! Our dgs's one yr old birthdays are right around the corner, Lee. Time flies. I'll be with mine for 5 days soon! Can't wait! Got him some cute 4th of July wear!

    Be well BBB!

    Good morning

    New car, again? What did you get this week?

    I’m off Thursday and Friday. Looking forward to a long weekend.

    I made smoked baby back ribs last night. They were amazing. I have that smoker down pat for ribs anyway.

    Good morning.

    That's one rough trip, Lee. I'm sure it'll be worth it when she gets some time with the youngin'.

    No wrong answer, but I'm curious, Skip. If you turn over cars regularly, then why do the ceramic coating? Isn't that really about keeping a car from starting to look dull after a few years?

    Our AC just can't keep up once it's past the mid-90's. So for the foreseeable future, we get have to accept what it gives us.

    Already picked beans, should have okra ready by weekend, tomatoes are slow to ripen.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Met with my Emmaus group this morning and then went and had blood drawn for my Urologist appt. next week.
    • It sounds like Mary had quite an ordeal. I assume the family can get off base post to visit her. Let's hope things remain calm.
    • I'm not sure why Skipper takes the stickers out of the windows. B)

    Morning gang

    Heading to yoga soon...our last class as the teacher ( and Ron's PT) is heading out for his summer vacation. Likely won't be back before we leave in Sept. He is a free spirit. He plans to visit family in Colorado and NY then he jumps on whatever international flight he finds a deal on and tours until he has just enough in the budget to get back to Mexico.

    Sorry about Mary's travel woes.

    Mary have a lovely lake vacation.
