    Rebecca ...

    Some Good news .... dermatology report indicates all margins are negative!

    July goals ... just maintained again. Phlebtt!
    August goals ... to do better than maintenance ...

    Beth near Buffalo


    That is great news- I remember getting my report- best three words I could have heard that day " margins are clear"

    caught the little possum out in the garage and relocated it- if it sneaks back in, it will be relocated further away.

    Feral backyard cat, Jack, woke me up early, talking to the other cats in the catio- 45 min before my alarm was to go off. Got up, took care of the cats then went for a walk. A bit chilly but not as breezy as yesterday.

    Class in 3 hrs.

    Good evening ladies!

    Well I am sitting with poor Teddy, who is getting used to the dreaded collar. He's asleep now, as long as I don't move.

    My dad missed a doctor appointment today. The road was closed and he couldn't navigate the detour. I spent an hour on the phone getting him that appointment, and volunteered to go with him, but he wanted to go alone. Frustrating.

    I rode my bike for thirty minutes this morning. Yay!

    Rita-not quite sure what can top the cougar!
    Margaret-phlox! I may have picked off a couple of blossoms not long ago! Very touching remembrance of your father.
    Allie-I hope you are wrong in your diagnosis-but it is good you are getting things checked and will have answers.
    Heather-I like the colors in Edie.
    Beth-all I can think is "Oh my". Hope the projects end soon with everyone healthy. Your dermatology report is good news!
    Annie-Hope Teddy heals quickly. Your dad does sound frustrating but it must also be frustrating through his eyes-I'm sure he is aware of some of the issues. Good job on bike-you are getting back on track.

    Nothing new to report-have actually stayed up until almost 9:30-time for bed!

    Take care all,

    Ack - had a big post, walked away, lost it in the reaches of the interwebs... ah well.

    Beth, such good news from the test, hope the damage to your husband wasn't terribly too much, and sooooo much sympathy for the cost overruns.

    Carol - Love the picture of the grands... They look so much alike.

    Allie - Thinking about you on the outcome... hope it's not what you fear it might be.

    Wanted to answer more, but my eyelids are too heavy to keep typing! Toddling off to bed now.

    Love from Arkansas, still 93 degrees at 9 p.m.,

    Did a body pump DVD then took my walk, then Aldi, home to put away the groceries, then went to the sleep MD, made a donation at the Salvation Army and, of course, had to go in. Stopped at Dollar General. They had these pool noodles – $5. Unbelievable! Took batting to a lady. Then cut the grass. Too tired to take another walk. Jess called and we will probably go up there this weekend. I know she really wants us to.

    Looks like we will have the music bingo here. The plan is that they are going to charge $3 per card and a $1 for add’l cards. We shall see how it goes. Personally, I’m not real crazy about charging, but at least it isn’t $5. The plan is to have people just bring desserts at 6 and then start playing at 6:30. I’m afraid that we’re going to have a lot of desserts left.

    Heather – yea for your good wrist

    Allie – let’s hope it’s not Lupus. But if it is, you’ll handle it like the trooper you are. How are you feeling?

    Storage: at our condo, there are some people who have storage trailers in the parking lot that they use to store out-of-season things or things like ladders, etc. One person has a ladder UNDER his storage unit.

    Vicki – so glad the party went well. Good luck Tuesday

    Joy – that double sided window cleaner looks a lot like what we have

    When we moved to NC, we had 5 storage units full until we moved the stuff to our house. They used to call it “LeGrand row”

    Annie – how cool is it that you made blankets, etc!

    Vince is one of those people who constantly feels “why pay someone for something you can do”. Only thing is, he takes FOREVER to do it….unless it’s something that he wants. So what I’ve been doing is having someone else do it and sometimes not telling him that I’m doing that. Like there are these bushes on the side of the house. Two years ago he said “those bushes need to be trimmed”. He said that last year and again earlier this year. So I just told the landscaper if he sees they aren’t done, just do it.

    Rebecca – Athena certainly is and will always be “daddy’s little girl”

    😎 August has arrived! I am amazed at the humidity here in Illinois. I enjoy early mornings but the humidity climbs swiftly in the middle of the day. I am thankful for air conditioners. 😉

    Moweys tuckered the poor boy out!!
    Well Tracy talked to DCF today unless she threatens harm to them or herself basically there isn't anything they can do.. Carmine basically bullys Tracy every day,wont do it to her dad though.
    I guess she is staying up at Seth's tonight..
    I asked if she has her on anything yet and she said no..
    I know she knows they are skating on thin ice with that ,he is of legal age and Carmine is not.

    By, "if she has her on anything yet", you mean birth control?

    If Carmine is not on birth control, she needs to be. If it is not too late already.

    Barbie - I can’t believe it’s August!
    Thanks for another month.

    Terri - I love the poem, do you mind if I share it with a couple of my friends that can use the reminder.

    Kylia - you sound positive today, I’m glad your customers appreciate you and let you know it.

    Margaret - I enjoyed reading how you are clearing things out and how you appreciate the gifts

    Minimalism - I recently joined a FB group called Maximalist Design and Decor. As with any group there is a set of rules you must agree too. One of the rules is you don’t get to decide what is minimal or maximal for someone else and if you don’t like something you see just refrain from commenting.
    I am a mix of both I think. I enjoy my “stuff” but have to have it all neat and tidy. I think I have pared down as much as I’m willing to for a while though.

    Rebecca - I’m with you on the milk glass. I have been getting rid of some dishes I don’t use. Except my Crystal, I have an emotional attachment to all of that as I can tell you who gave me each piece and for what occasion.

    Joy - enjoy the visit with your family. I’m glad the window washing tool worked well for you. I see I need to wash mine again. I may wait until September though so they will do for the Winter.
    My DH had a gadget in the Amazon cart for gutters. I’ll have a look at it.

    Photos - I went through my photos in 2011. I got rid of any landscape photos unless I knew where they were taken or were quite beautiful. I also got rid of photos that I didn’t know the people. (Some of my photos were from my parents and grandparents albums). My Mom had 100’s of parades. I threw most of them except for a couple that I have to friends because it was their parents business float.
    I haven’t scanned photos as I fear the technology changes so much that there will be no way to retrieve them in the future. Like Rebecca, I also like the feel of old photos. I really need to print a few years worth of photos and start scrapbooking again too.

    Vicki - I hope the meds help. Your granddaughter is lucky to have you.

    Debbie - Craft stuff is a big source of stuff for me too. I do have it all organized though. One thing about living in a 700 sq ft home is you don’t have a lot of places to collect stuff.

    Annie - my Grandmother was 91 when they sent her a 5 year renewal for her license. She didn’t drive much at that point, but had it renewed in the event she had to in an emergency.

    Heather - I bet your wrist healed so well and quickly because you are so healthy and exercise regularly.

    Machka - I do have some seasonal decor, but it all fits in a small tote except for Christmas. I do have a lot of Christmas decor.
    I will never get to the point of having to rent a storage unit for it though.

    Beth - is your DH willing to discuss hiring someone yet? I’m sorry about your new driveway.

    Debbie - I follow a pest control company, you have to relocate a possum at least 25 miles away.
    I was shocked at how far some things need to be relocated for them not to find their way back.

    Well I went to my friends on Sunday, returned home last night. Today she texted me that her husband had taken a vacation without her and wouldn’t tell her where he is going. He is a broken man and has been for a few years now, I hate to see any marriage end, but I think this one needs too. The emotional abuse they inflict on one another is not healthy.

    Today we went to rescue our grandson from family camp with his parents. He was having a miserable time. It was a 5.5 hour drive, he’s worth it though.

    Kaitlyn is doing well, things seem to have settled and she had an ultrasound on Monday that shows that the baby is way up high where it should be. This relaxed her, so hopefully she can remain calm and have a healthy pregnancy.

    It is late so I’ll catch up more tomorrow.

    Regarding photos ... jpgs have been around for decades and will likely be around a while yet. 😀

    What is your keystone habit? Mine is my writing session every weekday morning. I don't always want to do it, but I feel so much better if I do, and it ripples out to my whole life.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Tracey-so glad all is well with Kaitlyn and baby!
    Heather-good luck with planning. While it will no doubt be hectic it will be good family time.
    Machka-agree with you about .jpg. Also as new technologies come out there are typically conversion programs if needed.

    No scheduled meetings today-getting hair washed and cut. May stop at Best Buy on way home to get Iphone screen protector replaced. It is one of those with lifetime guarantee that it gets replaced if cracked/breaks. This will be third replacement. I have dropped it a couple of times on sidewalk while walking. It and the case have protected the phone screen itself. This crack goes all the way across the center of the phone and is a bit annoying.

    I am annoyed with the virus protection company I use for my Mac. I wanted to make a change to cover my iPhone and iPad and it was a huge issue-website was weird, I had original logged under one email address and a the one I was trying for three devices under another. You can't actually talk to a person. I submitted two tickets-no email response. On third ticket I told them to cancel everything. Now they want to help me. Need to decided today if I want to try another product.

    Take care all,

    Ginny in Ohio
