Tuesday What's New with you?

Well had my coffee, checked my vegetable garden, which overnight has tomatoes, and peppers and zucchini growing like mad, I love how nature just pops, also played catch with Roxie, now it's time for getting dressed and taking Roxie for her morning walk. . .  it's going to be a hot, humid day here today, yuk!

Check back later. . . .

Wishing you all a wonderful day and the peace and strength to get through whatever you are experiencing today,

Laureen

Good morning Laureen and OFF family to come, Happy Tuesday!

Laureen, I don't know if my garden is going to make it...we have had so much rain!
Enjoy your walk with Roxie.

Work is busy and after work hubby and I have been keeping busy helping SD with her new house, getting her ready to move into it, taking off wallpaper (yuck) painting (more yuck) and building another bedroom down in the basement. What ever happened to kids sharing bedrooms anyway???

Rozzie wants me to take her to the lake after I get home from work today. I just might play instead of work on SD house. I do like to Play!!

Everyone have a great day, I need to take my walk early before it gets tooooo humid! Hugs Debbie

Debbie,

Funny thing, we have more threats of rain lately, than actual rain, which my front lawn can attest to, I finally dragged out the sprinkler this morning trying to save what's left of it. . .  I will have to reseed in the fall. . .  the weather pattern this year has certainly been crazy.

Hugs, L

Laureen, we have had so much rain lately. The corn field next to our house has a huge pond in it! When we mow the lawn (we have 10 acres) we are skirting around big puddles in our yard/park area. I'm always wet when I finish mowing, love riding my lawnmower through the puddles and praying that I won't get stuck! LOL

Wow, 10 acres, while my property is a nice size for a suburban area, that makes me feel like I have a small patch, which is plenty fine with me, I can now take care of my property well enough, but a few years ago, it took me about 2 hours whenever I had to mow, I could never do it in one passing, as my weight wore me down, especially on those hot, humid days, now I zip through it in under 30 minutes.  As for the rain, funny, in the early spring we had lots of rain as well, my yard was so saturated, something that in 7 years had never occurred, now it's dry and I think the Almanac said that our area was going to be drier than usual this summer and so far seems they were accurate. 

Enjoy your acreage, however, I hope your fields dry out. . .

Good morning, ya'll.

It is gonna be another hot and humid one here.  I am heading to the gym for a little treadmill, but no water aerobics this AM.  Too much to do at home.

A few weeks ago I needed a couple extra bags of mulch and a few more landscape bricks, and I put them in my trunk, instead of going back home to get our son's truck.  Well, consequently I have residue in my trunk - a LOT of it. I have got to get it vacuumed out today, no matter what. Our daughter and the kids come tomorrow and I have a few more things to get done around here (some grocery shopping, a few meal plan things, straightening). My DH says the place looks good and I thought I was done, but I just keep seeing little things that should have been taken care of. Yesterday's trip to G-ville for a doc appointment sorta threw a monkey wrench into the plans.

Also, Sat I got a check in the mail from USAA to 'the estate of (my Mom)'. I wasn't sure if it was from an IRA I inherited, or if it was from some account we didn't know about.  So had to call them.  Apparently it was from dividends from policies M&D had over the years that they just had USAA hold rather than credited to other policy premiums. They hold the funds for a year after death to be sure there are no other claims on the policies.  SOOOO, had to go to the bank to deposit the check and send a check for half to my Sis.  That also took up precious time.

So I better get my butt off this 'puter and get to work, or it'll be so hot outside I'll decide to put it all off again.

Everyone have a fantabulous day.

Good morning Laureen and everyone who follows,

Three more mornings of waking up at 5:30 a.m. and then high school is *over* and I can go by my internal alarm clock!  Wooohoooo!  The youngest is so hard to awaken at that hour, too, and it's always been such an ordeal.  She sleeps right through her own alarm and so that's why I've been "helping".  Once she starts college, she's on her own but there's no class that starts *that* early in the morning.  It's barbaric how early they start some of these kids!

Laureen, how're you making out with this latest heat wave?  We've been hiding indoors mostly but tomorrow we're going to brave the heat index to go to the beach with our little guy.  We won't be able to stay long because we don't want him (or us) to fry.

Younger stepdaughter is now in TN with her husband, staying with her sister & family.  We saw a message on Facebook that they have no clothing at all for the new baby expected in July and I just saw a post on Freecycle for infant girl clothes 0-6 mos.  So I can't stand the idea of the baby having no clothes and so I'm getting the clothes and sending them to TN.  No body in that house is working!  OK, I'll stop there ...

Not much else going on here so I'm off to have my first protein shake of the day.

Stay cool, everyone!
Cassie

Hey Cassie,

I'm doing about as good as everyone else, the heat I can handle, it's the humidity that kind of makes me feel like a dish rag. . .  however, I can say that with the lost pounds, at least I can cope, I just am grateful for A/C on days such as these, but I will say that the side benefit appears to be what's going on in my vegetable garden. . .

Anyway, take care and Freecycle is a great resource for clothing items, as well as so much more and while I have yet to take anything from it, it is a great idea. . .

Good morning Laureen and everyone....

I really don't have much of anything to chat about. However, for those that don't chat with me on Facebook don't know this .......I am done with my crutches!!!!!! YAY I can walk freely again!!  The doctor said to keep a cane with me for a week or so just until I get used to walking again. I will gladly do that!! I feel free again!!

Nic made it to Montana last night about 10PM....glad he got there safely. He will have a blast!!

I need to get back to work. Wishing you all a really great day....stay cool...I have the AC on here for sure!!

Prayers to all in need....and a few special ones too.
