    Yep there's really only one brand at the commissary so pickers can't be choosers. My youngest son bought a rice cooker when he was in Cuba when he was stationed there. He heard about furikake, so he ordered some thru Amazon. Actually it was a pack of about 6 containers worth! He finally realized all had Nori seaweed which he is not fond of. The goober! He just gave them away when he transferred.

     Barbie in NW WA,

    I am with you feeling grateful! I dealt with the "lean years" with kids, making Kool aide and filling up empty water bottles with it for their school lunch drinks. They ate the big bags of cereals which they thought were special. Little did they know it was because they were cheaper than the boxes.🙃

    Today while figuring out my food for the day, I felt grateful that I can buy the foods I eat today. Expensive cheeses, protein drinks, and special things like the crab and lobster ravioli I am fixing today. I choose what I want. Not just buying as much food as $20 could buy me at Fred Meyers when we lived at the Oregon coast. There's a certain feeling of "I've arrived" at a quality of life that suits me. And with that feeling comes contentment.💖🙏👍.

    The chai tea lattes are better than the coffee ones. I am still experimenting with different flavors of things. I had bought Fair Life chocolate shake which does pack 30 grams of protein, but Joko Molk' also has 30 grams, as well as Pure Protein complete shake. There's lots of options for someone that doesn't want to mess with a blender.

    I was NOT fond of nori when dh and I started dating- had never had it- only seaweed I had seen before that was at the beach!! It actually gave me a stomach ache really bad when I ate it. Now, I eat the snack kinds a few packs at a time. I love furikake. The only seaweed I haven't tried and dh loves looks like black tar paste- Don't know what it is called off hand. He loves it on his rice. One day I may try it but for now, I will stick with furikake

    Lisa- were you in FFA? 4H?
    I LOVED Ag. Science in high school. I took four years of it. Teacher was so much fun. Only kind of science I ever took- never took biology/chemistry, etc.
    Third year was viticulture- we learned all about grapes- went out and pruned vines in the winter, made wine in the class in the fall. We were supposed to all get together when we turned 21 to try it. I don't think it turned out or someone else drank it.
    I can't remember what the other three years were. That was a long time ago- we are having our 45yr class reunion in 3 months.

    Today's exercise … a lovely bicycle ride on a sunny (but cold) winter day.

    Plus 1.5 loads of laundry washed and hung to dry. There's a suggestion of rain tonight but that's OK, the clothes will get an extra rinse.

    I also cleared weeds for an hour or so.

    Good Saturday!

    Rita- Great job on doing your research.

    Love the flower pictures! My cone flowers and hostas are blooming. I love lilies, irises, and orchids. I like the really vibrant colors. My beds need weeded again. Not this weekend.

    Lanette- 10-15 years is

    general lifespan of a Toro, if not longer. A Doe will often park her young where she feel they are safe while she feeds. Sometimes they can be gone for hours. Trust me, Momma is within hearing range! We had a doe that is to park her fawn on my MIL's front porch. SIL has a dog, so that doesn't happen anymore. The fans won't move until momma comes back, usually. They are still quite young right now.

    Lisa- Happy Anniversary! As beautiful as ever!

    Flea- Such a proud mom moment! Congratulations to your daughter!

    Rosemarie- I am proud of how far you have come! Great job on making your yard doable for you.

    Margaret- You are doing great getting your place set for your future self. I don't have window coverings on my kitchen window. For a couple of months it is really bright cooking supper, but not covering the view.

    Rebecca- Look at you Miss Traveler! ;)

    Machka- My personal hot tub doesn't seem to bother me but "public" ones.....I treat like I just had relations....pee and shower (after I get out) 😅

    Michele- In order to do warranty work you have to be a dealer. Unfortunately the decision many companies made to partner with mass merchants has been detrimental for the companies. We don't work on brands we don't sell due to getting parts and having the knowledge. MT suggestion would be to have someone weld it. Average life of a Murray mower is only 3-5 years. They were built yo sell cheap, not last. Sorry.

    Much more to say, but must get ready for work.

    Much love,

    Morning, my dears,

    Just a quick drop-in. Reading everyone's posts, love the pics!

    We were supposed to maybe get a few showers yesterday afternoon and instead we got pounded with rain for a couple hours in the evening. Supposedly more rain by 10 a.m. Doesn't matter, I got all the outside work done yesterday, and planned to get some more mud and tape on the walls in the back room.

    Got the doors down in the bedroom yesterday, deciding on hinges and door knobs. Thinking about the old glass rosette knobs for all five doors back there (two closets, two bedrooms, one bathroom) and Wayfair has them for the best price. Debating on other things as I go. Was going to get new ceiling registers, but I think I'll just get them down and see if I can get them cleaned up. Will spray paint them if necessary. The choice is $90 to replace covers or $8 for a can of paint… and on and on and on. New doors? Probably not, just paint the old ones. Choices all over the place. I try to keep it just a few in a given day so I don't exhaust myself mentally, throw up my hands and walk away.

    Anyway… Corey's working today—summer is their busiest time, so getting the trucks in to work on them can't always be done on a work day—so he's up and running here at 6:30 in the morning… meeting his brother there at 8, and hopefully done by lunchtime.

    Edit for Annie - Patrick's still here, still enjoying the job, and he and Corey are going to the speedway near here on July 5 to watch the cars and the fireworks. No fun to go alone, I guess. Not my bag, too noisy, too many people, so I'm happy to miss out on it! 😂 The last time I saw him, because I am incurably nosy, I asked Pat if he was lonely, if he thought he might remarry, and the answer was that he's saving money to buy a motorbike and drive all the way down through Mexico, Central and then South America, as far as he can get. Will he do it? I have no idea…

    If we get a little sunshine before the rain comes in again, I might get out and get some flower pics.

    Hoo! Cricket mode mentally this morning—can you tell? Need to go snag Cor's jeans and get them into the washer. No rest for the wicked, you know… 😂😈🤣 Bahaha!

    Later, y'all,
    Love,
    Lisa in AR
