Very humid here today. I've stayed inside, but have gotten a lot done. August has decided to depart like it came in..hot and humid. Hope your week has been good. 

Hey Ric. Yeah, that came through well. That’s very clever of you. How long have you been playing the game?  I’ve heard of it but never have seen it. That’s smart of you to get that word first attempt. I’m not much good on 6 letter words . Much better with 5 or 7.  I’ll give the game a try each day and see how I go but I don’t think I’d be very good. Still, it looks like fun:)

I didn’t realise it was National Dog day. I’m thinking Muffy will be getting an extra treat today now:). We both spent time this afternoon out in the sunshine strolling along the driveway then sitting on the retaining wall chatting to a neighbour.  It was very pleasant out there with temps in the 60’s and makes a change from the cold dark damp days. Hope your day goes well Ric. Cheers ~Pat~

Hi Ric.  It’s nice and sunny here today after having heavy rain yesterday and it seems the days will be nice through to next week. That will dry the ground out a little as it’s beginning to get soggy. I’m pleased for you that your temps have cooled down to a nice living standard.   That’s good getting the windows cleaned. It’s jobs like that you can do in the cooler temps.  I’m thinking I may go outdoors later this afternoon to potter around. I’ll take Muffy with me so he can have a romp around. So sad to see that Dolly Parton has passed away. She was a wonderful entertainer. Not many of those great entertainers left now.  Enjoy your day Ric. Have fun. ~Pat~

  Hope you're having a nice afternoon.  Happy Taco Tuesday.

SWEETIE!

Video clip from "Captain Henry's Showboat" (1933) with Annette
Hanshaw singing "We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye!" This is Annette's only
appearance on film.

Catherine Annette Hanshaw was an American Jazz Age singer. She was
one of the most popular radio stars of the late 1920s and early 1930s,
with many of her most notable performances taking place on NBC's Maxwell
House Show Boat. Over four million of her records had been sold by
1934, following the peak of her popularity.

In her ten-year recording career, she recorded about 250 sides. In a
1934 poll conducted by Radio Stars magazine, she received the title of
best female popular singer. Second place went to Ethel Shutta, third
place went to Ruth Etting, and fourth place went to Kate Smith.

She was a prolific performer (with over 780 recordings!), and made
records under dozens of pseudonyms including Gay Ellis for sentimental
songs, Dot Dare and Patsy Young (for Betty Boop impressions), as well
as Ethel Bingham, Marion Lee, Janet Shaw, and Lelia Sandford.

Have a great day and a fantastic week Ric. 

Thank you 

  Hi Rick - Thanks for letting me know about Summer.  She sure is a busy beaver.  She could run circles around me- has so much energy.  Wish she'd give me some that energy.  Well, she's 4 years younger too. lol

Howdy my friend wish you a super weekend.
