    Morning ladies
    Sorry got on the band wagon late this morning.
    Debbie- you said you got a bunch of ground turkey.. may I suggest looking up Patti Labelles turkey burger recipe. I have made them a few times and they are delish...
    Hope all is well with everyone today.. i slept in. And im with Homer and Alfie now.. going to go home and fold laundry and see if I can vacuum seal some comforters.
    Tomorrow i take care of the little guy and take the boys to the groomers. Weds i take care of Miles and have an eye appointment. Thursday ,Carmine and I have hair appointment

    Thanks for the suggestion. I just did the easy way with the burgers this time. They were already formed so just sprinkled Memphis bbq seasoning, pepper and garlic on them and cooked them. Added cheese to half of them.

    Packed all kinds of food for MIL and forgot to give it to DH when he went over this morning. Oh well, he can take it tomorrow.

    Have a few loads of laundry to get done- darn cat that was son's girlfriend's really doesn't like me- keeps peeing on my stuff- on my blankets only, not on dh's.(we have separate blankets on our sides). Yesterday the cat peed in my sandal - luckily it was my Dawgs that are rubber so easy to wash.
    Not sure why he doesn't like me, maybe because he knows I am not really fond of him- he tends to be a bully with the other cats.

    Have Zumba at our new location today- hopefully they have our fans there(taking my little portable, just in case). Wed. we are going to try it at the park. That should be interesting. At least we will get to have class two nights a week instead of one. We will pay the $15 a month to the community center and then donation to the instructor for the other class. We usually pay $25 for the two days a week for the month.

    Have a great Monday Ladies

    Michele--I know Jerry gets to you at times, but what a Blessing you are for him.

    Barbie--Thanks for getting us going on a new month.

    We are getting some much needed rain. Friday night driving home it got rough with wind, hail and rain. Yesterday was nice and got my pine tree planted. Today it is raining and to keep up all day.

    Rebecca--You are now a u-tube star. What fun to share your talent. Thanks for the Athena fix. Always welcome sight.

    Flea--Pray your throat is feeling better and you have great results on (PET) and (MRI).

    Neena--Welcome, come often and get to know us and us know you. This is a great group.

    Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE <3

    I'm getting some things on my list done so Yay! Paid some bills, and clipped Teddy's front nails. Got a pot roast on the stove.

    Michele thanks for the compliment!

    I got chocolates for my mother for mother's day. Not great for anyone's diet but she loves them. And she is hard to shop for; my dad will get her flowers.

    She doesn't do much more than sit on the couch anymore. Last time I got her some books by authors she likes, but she prefers to reread her old books. Oh well. She doesn't fall and she doesn't wander, and she doesn't require nursing beyond verifying her meds. It's going to get a lot worse someday.

    Next on my list is to read and edit a story that a friend wrote. Then my book group.

    Worked today. We leave for Iowa tomorrow so no formal exercise.

    Melkadee – welcome!

    Neena – I think I may have missed your post. Welcome! Sorry about that!

    Tracey – oh, I could hang those pictures myself. However, to Mr. OCD I won’t do it right. I just haven’t rather than having him complaining all the time. It just isn’t worth it. What I may do is start to get ready (like getting out the ladder). Usually that gets him to do something because he knows that (in his mind) I won’t do it right.

    Heather – Get a handyman????? Are you kidding???? Vince’s feeling is “why hire someone to do what you can do yourself”. That's why he does all the pool stuff (chemicals, etc). No, when we get back from Iowa unless we’re working on the drains in the backyard, I’m going to “start” to do it myself. I hired a handyman once to put up molding in my exercise room that had been there for about 2 years. I heard all about how the minimum charge is $100 and this didn't cost anywhere near $100.

    M – I’ve already called the landscaper once this season to tell him that we’re going to be away early in May and then early in June. I’ll just wait to call him again in June so that I can say “it’s been a year now”

    I need to get my food ready to take with me and then I may start working on the popcorn since it isn’t very windy

    Jess is still very upset that her own sister won’t go to her graduation. Jess’ friend who has three children and works full time is going, but her sister won’t.

    Allie – thanks for the suggestion. I never thought of the vacuum sealing of comforters. I always folded mine up and they took up so much room. Thanks, I’ll have to get some of those bags

    Rebecca – You’re ozappa and majime

    Off to start stringing

    Michele ~ Maybe you need to hire a different landscaper. I can't say much because I have tried to get our lawn guy to cut back some rose of sharon bushes that are dragging on the ground and he just says he will do it but it doesn't get done.

    Started cleaning the wood cabinets in my kitchen today and am going to use a product called Rejuvenate tomorrow. I tried it on one drawer and it looked brand new.

    Question: Our ceilings are not pop corn but they have swirl patterns in them that catch dust from the overhead fans. Does anyone know how to easily get the dust off?

    Welcome to all who are visiting!
