When Joe got back from town he suggested we take the dogs to the beach. I was so excited, I grabbed the big white jug (instead of the smaller clear jug) and poured BLEACH instead of vinegar into the fabric softener dispenser. Grabbed the clothes out and ran the rinse cycle twice. Alas two turtlenecks and a towel are now splotchy. Still it was worth it. First time we’ve been to the beach in a very long time, perhaps since Joe’s first surgery.

Machka your walks. Rhody makes me laugh. Tumble just snuggles in, but Shadow (all 50 lbs) leaps full force onto the bed when mama’s trying to snooze past Tummy Time.
Katla you are right I need to practice first! Will suggest to Joe that I practice into the hill going up to the powerline easement continuation. If he objects, there’s a range in Gold Beach. Fortunately no cougar sightings since Sept 6 Sounds like your vet’s front desk staff came from the same valley girl school as Joe’s eye surgeon’s staff.
Tina thanks for the recipe, my mouth is watering!
Pip good catch! The meerkat looks cute, roomier than a teardrop. Now all you need are some solar powered pink flamingos to finish off the patio area
Karen in VA, why sad? Worried we haven’t heard much from you lately.
Kim I’m sad/mad every time I thing of the management letting that facility go to waste, but relieved you’ve been able to put the stress behind you and quit. Sending “something better” vibes your way.

Ah, Rest in Peace, Madam Justice.

Lighter, lovelies!

Our catch wasn’t quick enough or we wouldn’t have gone to see it and put the 5k down on it😥

Well, I ordered 4 my new found bras only to discover they were advertised and labeled as bralettes. Bummer! Anyway, I ordered 2 in mocha and 2 in charcoal, and with the 2 in black and 1 in light beige I already have, I can have fun with my 3 different shades of brown and black bottoms. The good news is I finally found the perfect night shorts. Very high waist, 1" inseam, NO POCKETS, and wide legs. I bought 2 in each of their 3 shades of gray. That should last me for life as they are very high quality. The only drawback was the price. Twice what I wanted to pay, but I saw it as a long time investment, so I hit the order now button.

Katla Thanks for that wind you sent upriver! That did the trick and so far has our air quality fair and visibility good as ever. ((((HUGS))))) <<< Practicing the hugs thing.

M in Oz Yes, the feeling of breathing through both nostrils is quite a sensation after using one for any length of time. I sure wish I had my balance back and could ride again. The local bike shop keeps trying to get me in a pedal/electric 4 wheel and it is fun, but I like the idea of the All Terrain R500 | Fat Tire Electric Bike. The electric would be good for me making it up some of our sleep hills.

Lisa I sure hope the docs can figure out what is wrong soon so you can start treating it effectively.

Kate I hope you get to sleeping well soon. I think this Wuhan China modified mutated coronavirus will be weaker this wave and as some of the therapeutics are released for doctors to use, it will disappear. Sorry to hear you are being put in another lockdown. I fear the health issues of a lockdown for the younger will far outweigh any benefits.

Bananas Very sad that all this viral plague has made so many angry and disrespectful. I experienced the same thing recently when making a courtesy call to a man responsible for overseeing a mentally ill person. He went off the deep end for no reason and was yelling and cursing at me. In times past I have allowed this mentally ill person to use my bathroom, fix lunch, and even sit and watch TV. I had to file a no-trespass order because he was waking me in the night wanting to use my bathroom.

Barbara I have done that bleach mistake also. Makes for more work clothes. It seems to always happen on favorite clothes. Hope Joe is doing better.

Rebecca Your fasting and dieting sound like it is working for you. The several fast for colon exams and cancer surgery has soured me on fasting for a while. LOL!

Katla The sun is shining brightly for the first time in days. I hope you are experiencing the same better air and sun.

Good morning ladies!

An inch of rain collected in the rain gauge overnight, and AQI is back to good. How refreshing to see clouds again, I'm waiting for the blue sky to peek out. Looks like next week, come Wednesday, the spigot will turn on for a few days and our soggy autumn weather will return.

Got a mile walk in this morning, it felt great. My walking partner and her DH flew to Las Vegas on Wednesday to pick up a motorhome they'd purchased online from a dealer. Not sure when they'll be back, I texted her and haven't heard anything back yet.

Found cooked hamburger and left over roast beef in the freezer so threw together an enchilada casserole which will be going into the oven shortly and make great leftovers.

Katla - thinking of Schooner, hope the news is good. Our old gal is due for her checkup in November. She has an "old dog wart" on her side that is growing and some of her fatty tumors have been changing, crossing fingers it's just part of the aging process.

Giving our pups the Oravet dental chews every other day is doing the job, their teeth really look good. Breath isn't the best but their omega 3 treats have fish oil, I'm sure that contributes.

Kim - glad you feel OK about giving up the camp job, such as it was. I'm ready to send the teleporter to fetch you and help us get our place cleaned up.

Barbara - thrilled for you and Joe that you were able to make it to the beach. Bet you felt like a weight had been lifted, there's something about the ocean that is so invigorating.

I've been binge watching all of Endeavor over the past few days, am now at Season 4, Episode 4. Fascinating it takes place in the mid-late 60's and seeing the fashion and culture back then. Even though Endeavor takes place in England, things were quite similar here in the USA.

Faye - Glad your air is clearing out and you've had successful shopping. DH needs to get a mow in as soon as the weather lets him. Grass isn't really growing but plenty of dandelions need to be whacked off.

Michele - have fun with PJ! Do you think you can get a photo or two of him you can post for us? Sending good thoughts to Pete regarding his medical issue. Golly, a real PITA!!

Hoping things are OK for Janetr, Suebdew, Sharon, Amber and others who are taking a break from us. Welcome new gals, by the way. Jump in and tell us about yourselves.

Make it a great weekend!

Today, it appears I am the windshield....🙁

Sorry to hear that, but better than being the bug. Hope your day gets better.

Lanette My lawn is about 1/3rd dandelions. They towered above the grass and taunted me knowing the smoke was keeping them safe.
