Hope your week is off to a good start. I have a consult today before getting my regular back shot. It's tedious' however, insurance insists so off I go to tell the doc 'yes my back is killing me since the last shot in March but it's improved overall since I started the shots in late 2022.'
Well Darlene i had to get something that looked real nice.I bet many will grab that one as well .
I do not like the 4th either cause the kid i have across the way feels like hes in a competition to be the last one shooting. But ill manage. Its strange how i also had a dropbox issue just when this also happened .so it was just a coincidence with my problem and the layout acting slow
The temperature dropped down to 67 opened up the doors to cool things down.
There's always roadwork here it seems like. They've been installing new gas lines along the blvd. I had to get in the middle of that last week when I went to the grocery store. My chiropractor is in the same direction, so will probably be a repeat again next Thursday when I go to my next appt. But there is a back way in to their office. I'll probably take that route instead. It's just a mile and a half from our house.
What are your plans? Mine are simple--if it's raining, enjoy being cozy inside at the kitchen table & looking outside as the grass, trees & plants are nourished; if it's sunny, head to our metropark for a walk on a trail.
Hi Darlene. Love your countdown to september. Well, the first week has almost gone. There’s quite a few more to go:). After taking some strong pain relief tabs and using a heat patch on my back I got out into the front garden this afternoon and tackled the weeds. After the good rains of the past few days the ground is moist/soft making the task so much easier. There’s still more to do tomorrow and if I’m able I want to plant bulbs in several areas now its clean. All the shrubs need cutting back too but I may need help with that. I’m so tired this evening I don’t feel like getting supper so will take a pre meal from the freezer. But first to get Muffy his supper. He keeps staring at me and wondering what I’m doing sitting here instead of getting his supper.
Next time I’m at the supermarket I’ll look for those pierogies. If they aren’t in the one I shop at now I’ll ask my daughter to look in the other one which is much larger. Oh yes, I’ve got that new toaster under control now. I like the fact that you only need toast one slice of bread at a time. (the other side doesn’t work if no bread in it). Yes, I often use my slow cooker. It’s getting old but still does the job. I use my credit card online for specific items but not clothing or shoes. Sizes are different with brands and I couldn’t be bothered returning them if they don’t fit. Much rather do this at the store. So many of the bank branches are closing in the rural areas now. These city folk have no respect or concern for people living in the country regions. Well, now I’ve had a rest I’m off to get supper for us both. Chat again soon. Hugs ~Pat~
I hope your Friday is a good one Darlene...can't believe the weekend is about to start already! LOL! I love these old jars...I use a pink despression sugar bowl, (no lid though so I got it cheap) for a container to hold my Splenda packets. I start to hate this time of the summer, because June is the start of the hottest part of the year for us...so I'm with you on counting down to the fall months!
Good evening Summer - How was your birthday week? Your comment area is always full of pictures. Rick sure is staying busy lately and it looks like he's staying out of trouble. lol . The S on this darn laptop isn't working right. I have to jam it hard to work. Thinking of you. Good night xx from ME
Hi Callisto
you might have a little dust under that "S" Key
Give it a little blow ,i can imagine you bashing it in fraustration ha ha .
Hope it works better soon .
its annoying isnt it .
Im making a cake tomorrow to take to a party on sunday and will ice it on Saturday when its cooled right down .
we have been in the middle of a heat wave ,temperatures in the 90s but thank goodness its cooled down now and we are getting some well needed rain at last .
Yesterday Darlene i sure was in the garage.And i sure did get to walgreens i even had a 2.00 coupon for my Areds>for the eyes.
I take 2 per daymorning and night.i also had a 7.00 coupon they give the customers .
If you spend 35.00 they will add 7.00 to your account that you can use that 7.00 on your next visit or let it build up
Today i walked to the bank ,the hardwarestore then went grocery shopping.
I got more paint from the hardwarestore and a roller.
But its going to be quite hot now starting tomorrow .Its 83 today 88 tomorrow and humid on Saturday.
At the store they had eggs by a dozen get a dozen free so i got mine . A lady came from my other side grabbed one and took off in a different direction .
If she wasn`t so in a rush i would of told her to go get another dozen eggs cause theres 1 free.
I got home by 11:12 Everything went nice going and comingHave a nice Thursday tomorrow Sharon Keep cool
Happy Wednesday Pictures, Photos, and Images for Facebook, Tumblr ..The next time i write ill try to remember the little accident i had well it was a pain but all is ok and back to normal .Just costed me unnecessary time :)
By the way did you see that rocket explosion of Jeff Bezos?
It was quite a blast . Lucky no one was inside that rocket
Today feels like a Fall day..it's currently 65 and cloudy. We had a small rain shower earlier. As well as more rain yesterday. By Thursday, we will see 89. I'm going to start counting down to September too.
You must have that type of ladder where you can adjust it to different lengths .
That`s the one i should of bought years ago
It was not fun trying to get that ladder balanced.
I dont use it hardly anymore.Those dasys are over with.
I use my 5 foot ladder to get where i can .
Try them fake wasp nests because that is what turns them away from builing a nest .
You are correct the best time to mess with them carpenter bee holes is during the evenings or early mornings.
I hope i did the right thing by shoving a big piece of cotton snug into one of them bee holes just as soon as a bee flew in it.Packed with vinegar Then i shoved another with the dark varnish.
I was thinking if it can drill its way in it can easily drill its way out.
Tomorrow is senior citizens day at Walgreens but i decided to go today to just pick up a couple jars of nuts .Now tomorrow ill really go for all the items i have planned . Spend 35 bucks get 7 bucks back. Plus all hings are 20% off.
Guess who i met this morning on my way to Walgreens .I met that fella with his dog I was starring at him from a distance .He was looking around but not at me at all lol
As i got up to him i just kindly said Hi and he kept walking.
So i guess that problem is solved . Maybe he might greet me next time. I leave it at that
He`s probably a nice guy.
Thats all i eat the most Salads and Eggs and sweet potatoes and i have each one separately on different days and i have tons of chicken
i eat after 10 in the morn finish up and eat again with a snack of some junkfood and call t a da
I dont eat them pizzas whole i crack them into 4 or 5 pieces and heat up just 2 on a paper plate in the microwave. 4 of those will last a good while :) Have a nice evening
I do love cats--I had two from 1996 to 2015. I have one china cabinet with "stuff" but I have displays everywhere. Collections--teapots, Venetian masks, celtic & medieval themes, fairies, Belleck, strawberries, sunflowers & honey, apples, etc. And my son won't want any of it when I'm gone. Oh well! Hope you're having a marvelous Monday!
Hello Melinda. I do indeed have a curio cabinet. And it is filled with art glass and crystal cats, and porcelin cats and a few other things.It's the safest place to keep them so the cats can't knock them over. I have tried stuffed peppers but they aren't my favorite food. I don't like vegetables that much...''LIGHT CHOOSES GENTLE PAWS'' GOOD NIGHT, MELINDA.
Darlene no i never had one before not even at our old house.I had to do a search to see what they looked like lol
Oh so those are curio cabinets .They are pretty tall .
My aunt i know had that kind of cabinet.
We had a bookcase and thats one of the old things i bet that might be worth something today .It is quite old as i had it when i was just a kid.
Inside that cabinet i remember having a encyclopedia set and up on top we had this set of dolls representing all the months of the year.Those i i still have inside the bookcase and i have it downstairs with much of the old furniture we took with us.
We did not leave very much we took all we could . >>It was my idea to want to do that .
Do you knowi for 36 years that i have been here we still have the same water heater.
Have i ever mentioned that before ..
I wrote to Pat about the bees a couple times the last couple of days. so far i dont see any as the holes they made are covered up and painted with varnish and there was vinegar sprayed also on the cotton and inside the holes.
.I knocked one down to the ground and another i hit so hard that i did not see it fall down and i did whack it good .
.Maybe it went in the neighbors yard lol
I was looking into those Data Centers they doing it here too but its the first i have heard of it since you had mentioned it
I went and did searches and tried a couple youtube videos. Have a nice night Darlene and earlier this year i got a stung and it felt like it was in my ear.
It hurt for sometime till the pain began easing up .Pretty rough keeping a happy face thats for sure .
God bless you Check Pats page if you wish to and look for my messages. :)
Marie's service was beautiful yesterday. It was a warm, sunny day. The humidity was not too bad. I got to see a lot of her family members that I hadn't seen in quite a while. Two of her granddaughters came in from Texas.
Good evening Darlene. I’ve just been trying out my new toaster. Why oh why do they have the writing/dots/icons on the appliances so minute now where you need a magnifying glass to see everything. It seems I’m to estimate the colour of the toast that I want. Naturally burning the bread would be easy:) My old one of 12 years or so finally gave up hence the new one. I daresay practise will make perfect. I was going to take a quick trip to town to get some cash from the ATM at the bank as I like to keep some on hand. I prefer to do this on the weekend as I can get a park nearby without having to walk far but it’s got quite cold. I’m thinking I’ll do it tomorrow. Yes, we have those Data centres here too. I know it’s a worry what they store in those places but with the advent of the internet we all lost our privacy anyway. I try not to think about it. The thing that annoys me are the Spam texts and emails that are so cunningly clever. They seem to track what a person does either on the phone or computer. I delete everything that comes my way without opening it. Yes it’s good to get that mamo test out the way but you should have it more often. We have a Mobile unit that visits here every two years and I make sure of an appointment as my maternal grandmother lost her life with breast cancer and she was only in her 30’s. It was supposed to have rained this afternoon but once again they got that wrong. It would be nice to actually have some intelligent weather reports on the TV news channels. So much for modern technology. Time for me to move on. Chat again soon. Hugs ~Pat~
