Grf. Had a long post done, and poofed it as I went scrambling down a pig trail when something I wrote to y'all made me think of the research I'm doing for an article. Oh well, probably not that earthshaking.
Tracey - LOVE those pictures of the grand.
Heather - cannot believe Max is old enough to have a girlfriend!
Barbara AHMOD - Baking is an art, not a science. Not sure why that little canard took off, but I hate that people get intimidated by being told they have to use the exact measurements in the recipe or it won't work. it deters people from trying... Baking is fun, because, unlike so many things, you can eat your mistakes (most of the time!)
Speaking of which, I need to get the next batch of bread going - half will go for Corey's sandwich buns for the week, and the other half, I'll shape and flash freeze. I'll put them out to thaw Thursday night, and they'll be ready to bake the next morning. The cinnamon rolls sold like crazy, as well, but I will probably make them fresh Friday so everything's as fresh as it can be on Saturday.
Oh - and for those that were waiting on the sequel to my mystery story, I pulled it down off Vella for the time being, as Amazon is dragging their feet about coming out of beta--in other words, I can see it, but you still can't. It's still on my radar, but until they get the kinks out of Vella and get it live, I won't be able to send a link to you.
Later, y'all,
Love,

Lisa- I am adding my grrr to yours! Just wrote and went poof! I will try again later, gotta get on the road!
Hugs!
Love!
Laughter!

Spring for me! Spring! Spring! Spring! (Hate the occasional heat of summer and the crowds in all the nice places, including gorgeous Hove)
Love spring flowers. Love sunny days with cool temperatures.
My early run with DH was wonderful. By the time we started our return at 8.40 the seafront was starting to fill up. Previously, it had just been locals and the swimming clubs.
Came back for 35 mins rowing , then washed my hair and gave myself a much needed pedicure. First one in 19 months! Blue nail varnish. Then put colourless on my fingernails.
Feels good.
Max doesn't have a girlfriend. I deliberately wrote girl friend. She is a friend, who is a girl, and loves cricket. My elder son's best friends at junior school were always girls. Max has boy friends as well, but I do think it's great that he has a girl friend too. My best friends at school were sometimes boys, sometimes girls.
England playing football in the Euros this afternoon. I will be upstairs rowing and watching foreign language films. DH will be in his study watching football. Not my bag.

Machka - Decorative cat you've got there
If I were forced to choose a single season, it would probably have to be summer, for the sake of the gardening. But I'd demand to be near one of the poles. I can't tolerate anything above room temperature anymore. Fortunately, I don't have to choose a single season. ALL the extreme seasons of the Arctic delight me—from cool summers under the midnight sun to icy darkness when the North Star shines straight overhead and moonlight makes the snow glisten.
We're holding our heads above water here. The countdown to our move is speeding up, though. Less than three more weeks in the High Arctic.
We're having a friend over for dinner tonight despite the cardboard boxes and dust kitties everywhere. We've got far more wine than we can drink up ourselves before we move, and we can't take it with us without a lot of rigamarole in customs. But our friend can help us decimate the supply somewhat. I'm making a hearty beef stew to be served with my sourdough bread, which is world-famous in all of Longyearbyen.

My age is really showing or maybe it's the fact that I don't get out much! I thought today was Father's Day and bought my hubby a bottle of his favorite whiskey and a card. Texted my son Happy Father's DAy and then found out it is next Sunday. Oh Well! I tried.
Lisa ~ Your baking is wonderful. I bet your house always smells delicious!
Tracey ~ You and Michaela look so much alike...two pretty people. Your grand son is lucky to have a grandpa who makes him wonderful toys.
Debbie ~ Do you peel the apricots before you cook them? The cooked results look yummy.
Ginger ~ You have gone through so much this year. Hugs!
Happy Sunday to All....Carol in GA 2 -
Carol,
Thank you! And yes the smells from all the baking just permeate the house. Luckily my husband loves it, and neither of us eat lots of sweets, so it's not too bad in terms of being destructive to my eating.
Later,
Love,

Ugghh. Woke up to my dog being sick on the carpet. I have minor unpleasantness like that but overall life is very good.
I hope to write more. I joined a writing group; first critique session is Monday. I'm a little nervous about opening their documents to read. Hope I don't mess anything up.
Ginger it sounds like you have had just one thing after another this year! Best wishes for a calm spell. And good work controlling those binges!
Flea - thinking of you. Hope you can settle on a safe and effective treatment plan.

Hope everyone is having a good day today!!
Been dealing with some issues related to the extensive work I did outside in the garden in April.
Seems I strained chest and stomach muscles, but am not experiencing any pain, except when I had to have an echo cardiogram, the wand they use to press against one's chest really really hurt.
Anyway, when anything interferes with my stomach I get palpitations. I am being treated for acid reflux, actually have Barrett's.
Does anyone here suffer from palpitations in relation to their acid reflux??
{{HUGS}} to everyone!!!

Hi friends. I keep swearing I'm going to get here at least every other day, but I don't seem to be able to. I did lose 1.3# this week.
It's hot and dry here. We're planning to go to an outdoor afternoon concert today...we'll see!
Remodeling is finally actually occurring. Exterior painting starts tomorrow with the power wash. Next on the agenda is the downstairs bathroom flooring and new bar top. We have carpet and kitchen appliances on order but may change the appliances. I am not really thrilled about my choice of induction range tops so we are having a gas person come out next week because we swear our builder plumbed gas to the kitchen. I'd rather go gas than induction. Does anyone have that? How do you like it?
We will finalize our choice of tubs and master bath vanities this coming week and get that project rolling.
Summer courses are almost done; 1 week left for both! Then I am actually FREE until mid August! I will go in once a week though to start working on my fall course. The curriculum was totally new then covid hit and it's all totally on line, so that will change for this fall. Thus the need for revisions.
All the critters are well. The kitties are fun and I think they even amuse the old cat sometimes! Their claws have not been a problem. The puppy is finally sleeping through the night. Thank God, we were turning into zombies!
OK, must run and get some chores done if we have any hope of getting to the concert.
Take care, Meg from OMaha4 -
So Friday night and Saturday were an adventure!
My house has a sewer clean out in the front yard and the sewer main line is about 39 feet to the city sewer line.
Friday night there was a "dead" smell coming in the windows a flashlight helped discover that the house's sewage was not making it to the street, but instead coming out of the clean out. oh gross! but it's 9 pm on a friday night, closed the front windows and figured it would still be there in the morning - which it was! LOL
Rented a electric, self propelling, snake, moved pots, shoveled up the sewage and got ready mentally ready for this. Hoping it would work as a plumber on the weekend would be $$$$ The snake slowly went in and kept going, occasionally not moving forward as it chewed it's way along. at about 40 feet out it was clear sailing, but there was still standing water (? grr?) reversed it out and much to our surprise the snake had snapped at about 25 feet from the end. OH my! The rental place was grumpy about it but fair, and told me it was time for a plumber and that the main line would need to be dug up. Everyone I reached out to said the same thing - except for one who suggested a power washer! Hun? But the power washer was borrowed from a friend the garden hose attached the washer hose carefully inserted in the main, via the clean out, started the engine cranked it up high, held on and hoped the few minutes (seconds??) felt like eternity then the best sound known to me, and whoosh - the drain cleared and the standing water was gone! "I am woman hear me roar!!!!" shut it down, cleaned up the tools, then laundry, the dishwasher and a shower all at the same time to make sure I had not just moved the clog farther down the line, but actually cleaned it out. And no backup! I have always appreciated water, but not fully appreciated sewer lines... I am grateful!

Meg ~ Nice to hear from you. Getting all the renovations sounds great and I hope you get the stove you want.
Kim ~ You ARE an amazing woman. So glad that you were able to fix the sewer problem.
