Howdy all y'all. It's soggy Saturday! It's been raining and dripping a little already, and more is expected this afternoon and overnight.

I might do some laundry today.

Hello all!

Glad to get caught up with you all!! Jo, hope you are not too sore from the fall. I have done that too! I must agree, we do not bounce like we did years ago! Envious of those great walks!! Today is my friend's daughter's wedding. It is in an old barn venue and of course, at the moment we have a bit of a steady rain coming down due to Delta. The wedding couple had to cancel the dream honeymoon as Delta hit the resort town of Del Carmen on it's first landfall. Bless them, they put off wedding from late March due to covid, and now a hurricane. Or tropical downpours. It could have been worse if it hit Miss. or Al. for them. We have just rain and bands, and very low risk of tornadoes. Hopefully. It is clipping the N.W. corner of Al. up thru Tenn, and raining all over the South as it defuses. Just messy. Poor Louisiana.

My back was slowly healing though very stiff. I turned wrong last night and it is practically out. Somehow I am going to get to that wedding though. May has a limp too, so we are just a pair. Faithful dog to share Mama's ailments!

We have stopped at Peachtree corners a few times going to South Carolina if we were not in a hurry. Great area, Ed! Irene, give Sammie a snuggle for me!! Vix, I swear I need a riding lawnmower and use the money saved in cutting to have the Merry Maids in!!
Boy, for this to be over!! Take care all!!!

Good morning.
Ed, I took my car for a ride yesterday. Nothing special to do today either.
It's currently cloudy here with rain expected all day and a high of 67.
Jan, hope you had fun and stayed safe at the wedding. Do you have to get the lawn mowed in winter? If not you could get the Merry Maids in once in a while then. I have an independent housecleaner.
I've been waking up tired. That doesn't seem right! I think I forgot to water my plants yesterday, better go check that.
Anyway, I hope you all have a nice Sunday.

Tonight's boeuf bourguignon, as served, for me. Eduardo has been itching to make that for a while. LOL. And the savory soy curl stir fry I made for J. Rice not shown.

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Another cool one here, and it looks like partly sunny with minimal chance of rain. I need to fold laundry and put it away. Sound familiar? I did already put away the clean dishes from the dishwasher, so I could put my breakfast dishes in.

I LOVE butternut squash (or pumpkin) soup.

At least food is already cooked. Plenty of leftovers to eat today.

Good morning,
Cool morning here with an expected high of 55.
Worked 4 hours this morning to help out with inventory. This afternoon I am going to Ikea to look at rugs. I need an area rug for my living room and a runner for the front hall.
Yesterday on our walk we saw 4 deer. Two of them started to followed us, so we got close to them. One started to stamp his leg, so we retreated quickly. I think he was warning us to stay away. That was my excitement for the day.
Jan-glad you enjoyed the wedding. I would have been uncomfortable being around that many people without masks on. I hope your back gets better soon and May's limp goes away.
Ed-Is that a picture of your cat?
Vix-I have never made squash soup. I love squash, so I think I will have to try to make soup.
Have a good day.

Good morning.
Ed, I love butternut squash soup too...cheerful and comforting! I don't usually make pumpkin soup....hmmmm...wondering if I could make it like my b-nut squash, but with canned pumpkin...would make it easier. Cute black kitty.
Jo, I hope you found some nice rugs! Our closest IKEA is over an hour away. I love seeing deer...wouldn't want to get too close. I saw a video this a.m. of a man who was jogging and got too close to cougar cubs, and the mama started following him....that would be really scary! B-nut squash soup is one of my favorites. Funny because we never ate squash when I was growing up. Just store bought pumpkin pie. I just discovered it in the last decade. Yum.
Foggy and cloudy here today with a high of 69 expected.
Will see what the day brings.
Have a good Tuesday, everyone.

hi everyone yesterday Sammie turned 5 months old she is all potty trained so things are improving

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! We are expecting clear skies today with a high around 78. I may need to get out to Lidl for a couple of things I couldn't get at Kroger. And if Lidl doesn't have them, then I may trot on up the road a bit farther to Ingles or Trader Joe's, or both. And I may need to get to the Asian farmer's market soon.

Last night's vegetarian chili Frito pie, specifically J's portion though I had about the same, but with less salsa.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! It is a bit foggy this morning but should turn out to be a pleasant day, though overcast this morning.

I encountered a 16 inch take & bake traditional crust pizza at Lidl yesterday, and at a price of only $4.99 for the 6 cheese version couldn't resist buying one for supper. And breakfast. And lunch...

The ones with just a few toppings were at $5.49 and the meat lovers (5 meats) was at $5.99. I seriously thought about buying one of the meat lovers too, but refrained. I would have had to eat the whole thing, and think I would have had to freeze some of the leftovers. So just a cheese pizza for us.

J doesn't generally eat breakfast, but for me one slice of the pizza, with the additional toppings of soft cooked scrambled egg, cheddar cheese (7 cheese pizza now!) and a sliced up sausage link from the links I prepared to have with it, made a great breakfast warmed up in the toaster oven to have an even crispier crust.

While the pizza last night was OK, the crust is a bit thicker, and chewier, than we really prefer, though the flavor was good. I will not be buying another of those any time soon, even at that great price. For an acceptable, quick, inexpensive family meal I think it would be a good deal for the average family though.

I need to give the AC drain its monthly flush today.
