Hello Darlene, thanks about my page. I have certainly been on a watermelon kick this Summer myself. I am mostly juicing it and mixing it with Lemonade. It sure cuts through the citric acid in the Lemonade and makes it less hard on my stomach.
We're getting the outer bands of TS Bertha but just light rain so far and we can actually use more rain.
I hope you had a nice weekend Darlene, and excited for this new week that's starting...we're under a heat advisory, I'm old, so I'm staying inside...I did go to my chiropractor this morning, so I'm good for a bit...
Looks like we will see a short break in these temps beginning Wednesday. Low 80's will linger for about three days. It sure will be welcomed. I drink lots of water during the day. We keep bottled water in the fridge. I also hydrate (if I'm outside any) using my LMNT as an added source of sodium, magnesium, and potassium. It comes in a small packet in different flavors. Raspberry, orange, lemonade, lime, and grape. The company I buy from, they add new flavors often. I also keep extra bottles of water in the fridge so t give one to our mail carrier. It's usually between 3 and 4 pm when he delivers our mail. One day closer to Fall.
I agree we do have some real idiots out there in washington just making things hard for our leader
It`s all evil partner.
I don`t use icecubes Darlene i have about two sometimes 3 big bottles filled up with water. And of course the water in the city is bad so i have to filter it before i use it.
And i use Real lemon Juice.Ill make a quart of that and its kept in the fridge with the other two quarts of water. Wvery now and then ill take a couple swigs .
I try to watch my sugar intake most of the time. The smoke had cleard with the coller air flowing through but its going to come back again.
We need a real good rain to wash all that smoke out of here.
Went to Walgreens this morning and will go again early Tuesday.
I used to have iced tea alot back in the day.
Came home and worked out in the back yard pulling weeds and straighteniing things up ,,killed weeds .Now i can wait another 2 days before the weather sort of gets a bit better. Do you have an air purifier i have one and i run a fan when the sir kicks on.Right now the air has not kicked on since last night ,but its due..
Hallo lieve mensen, ik hoop dat jullie genieten van de rest van deze zondag. Beter laat dan nooit, toch? Ik was in Zandvoort – waar de laatste autoraces op 20 augustus plaatsvinden – en we gaan erheen. Jammer van de kosten – leuk, maar duur – maar het is tenslotte onze Max Verstappen, dus we gaan. Heel veel liefs aan iedereen! Knuffels, Dayenne.
Hello Melinda. The excessive heat iskeeping me indoors too.And it feels like a very long wait till summer is over. I do use a lot of ice, especially in the summer.I don't care much for water, unless it's carbonated and has sugar and caffeine. I drink a lot of soft drinks.
today is laundry day for me...even doing my bed spread and mattress protector...that's the extent of my weekend..boring! LOL! I hope yours is better Darlene! You're right, the smoke hasn't come down this far, hopefully it will not affect us in the days ahead either..
Darlene, hope your weekend is rejuvenating despite the smoke. I have been indoors for the past few days due to the air alerts. It's been hazy & the smell of musty campfire & plastic burning is pungent. I pray for the Canadians--as well as the wildlife--directly affected by the fires, esp. the Namaygoosisagagun First Nation.
Lucky to be able to have ceiling fans & a/c to make the summer bearable. When I moved to this condo 10 yrs ago, the fridge had a built-in ice maker. I would never buy such a fridge, but I must admit it's handy & has yet to malfunction. So I am spoiled on the crushed ice option. Take care! Cyndi
Good evening Summer - How many grandkiddies do you have? Is it your daughter's baby? Did you hear about Canada buring up. They have hundreds of wildfires up there and the smoke is floating down here to our area. It's hard on the eyes and I cough enough without breathing in the smoke. Gee whiz. I hope it floats on down to Washington, DC and chokes out all the crooks in the White House. lol.. I think there's a large dome of heat that's covering the entire country because everyone is HOT. And it's effecting Europe too. You'e too hot, France is too hot. When will the heat end. I didn't know you were going on vacation again. What part of Austraila are you traveling to? Maybe you can visit Pat while over there. lol.. Just joking. Good night dear Summer. Have a restful sleep. I hope you have good air conditioning.. hugs and kisses, Callisto
first off Callisto i am loving the pink on your page its so easy on the eye, and very very pretty too .
well we were going to australia on the 27th of august ,but we have had to delay it for a while ,i cant explain it all now but i will later in sep, lots happening here at the moment so we have to delay for the time being ,thats two holidays i have had to delay ,the other one was for Ireland to go with my brother to see his son who lives there ,but that also had to be put on hold as well for the time being ,that one was put back because of Trumps bloomin war .at the time we were planning to go ,the stupid war broke out and things changed for everyone regarding the fuel, and getting us out and back again ,so it will happen,
but due to other commitments with everyone ,and busy lives , its been put on the back burner for a while also .
I have one Grandaugter at the moment My Daughters little girl, she is nearly three now and my son is expecting his first baby girl in september ,so i will have two little Grandaughters then . cant wait for more cuddles and lots of playdays .
Its been very hot here too Callisto ,unbearable ,such a long heatwave ,which hopefully is coming to an end from today ,but we do need rain badly ,and there is no sign of rain at all for the foreseeable,
All our countries are suffering now yes because of all the wars going on ,and what has it achieved so far in the middle east .
Absolutely nothing .
they still have the capability to make a nuke .and now we will all have to pay tolls through the straights ..which in turn will affect everyone finacially,
and to be honest ,trump has no idea how to end his war .
He is mad at us and other countries because we wont join the war .
but why ???
he has come unstuck and doesnt know how the hell to end it .
then he wants Greenland .
and Cuba .
I dont get it .
You cant just take out everyone .
I know there are threats with Russia and China
But there are better ways to deal with things these days than killing innocents.
We have gone back in time .to murderous days ,and i for one worry where it will all end for the future generations .
anyway hun .
all for now i hope your weather improves too and the air around you becomes more breathable very soon .
We are sitting currently at 101 degrees. I noticed first thing this morning how thick the air was. A local weather guru stated we were in fact getting remanants of the wildfires. I've only been outside briefly a few times today. We will see 80's beginning next Thursday. It's been a rough summer thus far..and I'm pretty sure we've matched records from like 1958.
the way I feel, I'm just staying inside, not much energy, so my "sparkle" won't be too lit LOL! I hope your sparkle is bright! have a wonderful day and weekend Darlene!
Hi Darlene. Do hope you are not having the current heatwave that seems to be effecting so much of the country. We dropped down to 33 last night and it will be the same tonight. The days are in the low to mid 50’s and sun shining. I do notice that our days are getting longer as yours must be getting shorter and closer to fall. Not a lot going on here apart from appt‘s. My daughter took Muffy to the vet surgery as he was having problems with his right eye. I’ve had to put ointment in the eye for a week plus drops. The eye looks much better now but he will have to have the drops for the future to keep it moist. Thankfully he is so easy to give medication of any kind. Hope you are both doing well. Hugs. ~Pat~
It's been hot in Wonderland, but the heatwave is not as bad as the previous one. Advisories are each day from noon to 8 pm, not 24/7 for 3 days in a row. Staying cool, calm & collected. What's your favorite way to beat the heat? Have a great Wednesday!
talk about having a "bad hair day".... I've trimmed my own hair one too many times...so I guess I need to go find someone to fix my mistakes...LOL! I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday Darlene!
We return to the 90's tomorrow. The last couple g days, it's been cooler..even though the humidity has been a bear. I never acquired a taste for watermelon. I do like strawberries and blueberries. I'm so over this darn summer. Our weather is, and has been a blend of seasons..we never know what it's going to bring. But I'm counting down the days to Fall.70 days away
