...............I am wide awake...which is silly as I just yawned.. lol But if I go to bed, I am suddenly wide awake...

The good news is, I had the opportunity to open a new CH..YAY for us all.

I guess I will put the coffee & hot water (for tea & cocoa) on & see if I can find something good to go with them.

Good morning. I hope you got some rest Junie.

Tina, it is sad to see how towns deteriorate. In the past 5 years we have lost our restaurant, bank, post office and second hand shop. Now I have to drive 40 minutes to do what I could have done in a 5 minute drive.

More rain for today....and I am waiting for the delivery of the toy box I ordered. Walmart contacted me to say it was too big to send by Canada Post and since it was not available in-store...they are forced to deliver by courier for free thumbup

Good morning. I hope you got some rest too, Carol.
I slept well in spite of my nap yesterday. So I am hoping for a good Tuesday.
Free delivery sounds good, Sunny. I hope your grandson can enjoy it for many years to come.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Good afternoon (at least here it is). I didn't make any stops on my way to or from school today except to fill my tank. But I still didn't get much done. I had a lazy day so far. I will be cooking in a while for dinner though.

Lazy days are good.

I had to make a bank run....driving 45 minutes for a two minute errand really bites. Oh well, I stopped at the dollar store and got a wasp nest decoy and a trap at the same time. I am being bombarded with stinging insects this year.

Glad you were able to sleep, Tina. I was not--but as soon as I finish here I am headed to bed. I will sleep well tonight, I am sure.

That is a pain Sunny. I can only go to the Post office and the restaurant/bar in town here. The bank & the grocery store have closed here as well.

I only need to drive for like 15 minutes to get to a bank/ grocery store/ Dollar store & pharmacy but it is still a pain. The larger town with nicer stores (& heavier traffic) is like 25-340 minutes away.


G'nite--sweet dreams

Good morning. Today I do have to stop and shop. We need cat food and such. So that will get done. Other than that, my day is wide open.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Hoping your appointment goes well Junie.

We got a nice day here, cool but dry. I have one gable end finished...yay. On a yuckier note, I have a foot of water in my basement....as well as everyone else around here. The sub pump is working away at it.

I watered my flowers and my tomatoes tonight...I am still hot from being out in the heat.

I feel for you all, Tina. Today it was 97*F here.



I am not ready for this heat either. BUT this heat is far and above better than any ice or snow that we could get....

every time I start to crab about the heat, I remind myself of the snow & ice. and I feel better.

Good morning.
I guess I made the official 'old' list for scammers. The IRS called me at 6 am with an automated call in a foreign accent this morning. It is kind of funny but sad that it has taken so many people for their cash.
I hope everyone has a good day today.

I have heard of those scams but thankfully we have not had any calls. But then there is time for me to get them yet.

Have fun at the dentist, Sunny....

Good morning----pretty day here--it will be in the high 90's yet again today. They say it will be cooler next week... probably gonna be in the low 90's...... lol

I had a busy day. I washed a couple of blankets to put them away for the season. I've got a few more to go. Then I laid down for half an hour but was afraid of napping too long and messing up my sleeping schedule.
I'm done for the day.

Good morning.
I'm glad you got to go to the show put on by your GG's class. That has to be nice for her.
I will take Ted to school and shop for the weekend. It is Friday and I like Fridays.
I hope everyone has a good one.

Good Morning.

After I scrub the floor, I am leaving to do some errands. Why, I may even do "Lunch out"..even if I am all by myself.

It is MUCH cooler/less humidity & a cool breeze. shewinks I am happy with that.

I would be happy with that as well. Our temps have been tolerable but we are going to move into some really tough heat soon. I am not looking forward to that at all.
I did take Teddy to school and stopped to shop. Then home to put it all away and now I'm going to do some quick things before I pick him up again. The abbreviated days are tough. But there are only two more weeks of them so....

Tina, I see the heat advisories are up for your area already...keep safe.

We should be getting our last frost tonight with the changing of the moon in a couple of days. GG and I will put in our garden tomorrow. I hilled my potatoes and we planted up our containers and put them in the shed until tomorrow. My tomatoes and green pepppers have been hardened off and ready to go in the ground with the rest of the seeds as well in the afternoon. grin

Now if we could only get rid of the mosquitoes.

Tina, I did not see that, but I did see where there were wild fires. How close are they to your area???

Take care of the heat....

Good night & Sweet Dreams.

What do they use to spray for mosquitoes?

We had a HEAVY frost this morning...the ground was covered in white. I am sure there are a lot of disappointed gardeners this morning. People try rush to get their garden in then lose it all. My mother and Uncle already lost theirs with the heavy rains....they need to replant again...thankfully my mother puts in a tiny garden so it isn't that bad.

Today GG and I will be digging in dirt grin

I hope you get a bumper crop this year, Sunny. And a lot to put up for the winter.
Good morning. Happy Saturday. I need my coffee today. I think I will try to catch up on somethings today. It's a good day to get some laundry done.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning. Congrats and getting your garden in, Sunny. That's an accomplishment.
Today is getting ready for school week ahead. But I am pretty relaxed about that because of the heat. It is supposed to be 110* tomorrow and I'm doubting Teddy will go. And I'm letting his beard grow out just to see. So baths and showers are a given just due to the heat and I love clean bedding but there's not much stress about the day. Tomorrow is going to be too hot to leave the comfort of the coolers.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Good, it sounds like you need the warmth, Sunny. I hope your gardens get just enough rain this summer without drowning. Birdhouses are fun.
I'm hot. One of my coolers broke, rusted through and I've been out running the hose over it to cool it off once in awhile. . It reached the promised 105* today. I have another cooler in storage in the woodshed but it needs more than just me to put it in.
