Ok yesterday and now this morning, I post..but when I come back in it is not here... it is me or what ??
Anyway, it was supposed to be overcast all day, but was sunny until a few moments ago. We went out to get my blood tests, I had my shower and I am now drinking coffee and eating butter braid.

Good Afternoon all,
I am in to finish paying bills and balancing check book... it did so that's always good, now to finish remaking my table cloths smaller.. have a about 6 of them that are to big for the table we use here, they were from the one we had in Az before we went to Colo.. used plastic ones there with the kids but now I like would like to use my real ones again... so am going to cut and sew today... there will be enough leftover from them to make runners to go on my island in the kitchen. I really need to do my filing too.. I should do it as I go but it just piles up.. will try and make myself to it after I sew will have card table up so can use it to sort stuff on... better than the floor with my old body that doesn't like to get up after getting down... LOL!
Well have a good day all... stay well and safe. Nana

Yes about kids and tablecloths. I use plastic place mats for the kids I have cloth ones for " nice". I have several holiday cloth table cloths. But since I rarely have need for them, they are on shelves in the basement. Busy is good, Nana. You take care and stay safe as well.

Yes, I try to look at the rain here that way too, Sunny. Well that an it is water for my plants. I put my front porch flower pot, and Valarie' s lilac bush out at the edge of the porch so that they can get rained on as well. Less watering for Carol.

Tina, so you get many biting flies there? They were awful this morning. Junie, fresh water for plants is a good thing. I just made a pan of brownies...I hope they last until tomorrow

My..so sorry for the flies....
Yes fresh water is good..it is a pain to fix up my water system to be able to water plants with water that does not have softener in it.
I am making tapioca pudding now it will be dessert for tonight. Brownies do not live more than a day here, Sunny..good luck !

Brownies and tapioca both sound good, ladies. I was interested in watching the space launch but it has been scrapped until Saturday now. Too much weather.

Well, I was only interested in watching it unless anything else came up. I am not a big space fan. And I do not want to be witness of a disaster.

Well the disaster part is possible. If I remember right, , they said he could afford to build 3 rockets..and the first 2 blew up in testing. The 3rd was ok in testing...that is the model they are using.

Three weeks ago we were under a snow fall warning and today we are under an extreme heat/thunderstorm warning. I don't have much planned for today. I have to do the barn work in an hour then call in an order at the pharmacy and hardware store for tomorrow. Curbside pick up is a normal routine now. It does make it easier when I have to take GG with me. DD ordered GG a new tablet last night(the battery died completely in hers and we couldn't find a replacement)....she was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep

Yep, the weather is crazy. Welcome to my world Sunny.
Apparently we are making bread. Then I need to change over DH's closet, and make my order for groceries. I was going to go to the bank (one needs to make an appt.) but I guess that will have to wait until tomorrow.
Tonight I may order cards. I found a place I can order from and have them mailed to the house...I used to buy Hallmark from the Dollar Tree, but these are not much more, and I will not have to go into a store. I have just about depleted my extras that I keep onhand.

I hope you can find cards that you like Junie, I remember before one could buy mixed boxes of cards.....that was a smart idea. I went for a quick run to the grocery store while my mother was 'outside visiting' with Madi. I loaded up on milk and fresh vegetables and fruit.....I limit my trips to once every 10 days. The delivery grocery service was too expensive with them substituting name brand items and worthless money wise with the too ripe fruit. The only thing name brand that I buy is peanut butter....even then I buy the store brand for baking Tomorrow they'll put my order for the hardware store and pharmacy directly in the back of my truck

I was afraid 😨 to not say substitutions were ok when I ordered groceries last time. I will this time. For now the supply seems to be ok. So I will when I order today.
Glad you were able to go out alone today, Sunny. That makes the trip faster and easier.

I still have boxes of kids cards from the 70's up. They are fun to give adults too.

Yes, I have a box of kids cards as well as a box of well cards and some small thank you cards. I used to buy them at Wal-Greens 2 boxes for $3.00. But the Walgreens here is not easy to get to plus the parking lot is an accident waiting to happen. IMO they had parking along the store and enough area to safely back out and keave...but then later decided to put an extra lin0e of parking in the area that once was for driving...now one has quite the time backing out. I only shop there if I have to..and then park in the next stores parking lot.

I agree on all counts, Tina.
I just ordered groceries from Wal-mart. I spend a whole lot less money than if I went myself, that is for sure.
I wish all of you a safe & fantastic day. Stay safe, Sunny

I'm home safe and sound...sometimes curbside pick up is a great thing. Here in Canada due to Covid we are not allowed to cross into another province...if we do(for absolute essential reasons) then one has to self isolate for 14 days. Well, a doctor from our region crossed the border to Quebec.....and did not self isolate and continued to see patients. He now has Covid, as well as his wife, kids and parents. They have closed down the hospital and have to test every staff member, patient and patients that were seen in the past two weeks. Then they have to test contacts and bubble families. They said that we all will have to go get tested in our zone in the next few weeks due to not knowing who has it now. We can't travel out of our zone(it's about an hour drive from point A to B), or be in contact with anyone. We just got the news that he has been fired and the police are now looking into charges being laid....what a mess.

We just ordered from Uber Eats for the first time last night. Jonni was so excited, like little a kid at Christmas. I don't like to use my card for such frivolous stuff. I watched someone (or read someone) say to never use your credit on things that will be gone when the bill comes due back in the 70's. And mostly stick to that ideology 50 years later. But we live in such interesting times.

Oh my....yes, what a mess...I would like to think that as a Dr. The man would have known better...sorry diverge extra testing hopefully TPTB will pay for the tests...me and mine would love to get the antibody test. Not available yet that I know of.

Ouch, Sunny. I hope he didn't start a real hot spot and deaths. Yes, Carol. It used to be you could rent a car or fly on an airline with cash. Not any more. Plastic money rules the world. But for those of us that don't trust it, life gets tricky. We'll not be ordering regularly on this format.

When we opened an account with the bank here when we moved, we were told that the debut card is even safer than a CC...now Both my girls outmost everything on their credit cards. My one DD puts every thing on hers then uses her accumulated points/ cash to go on her trips all over the US with her college friends. They both watch their cards very closely...and when they either have a problem, one phone call and their problem is fixed.

John used his CC for most things. But he never charged more than he could pay off when the bills arrived. Not food for the most part but everything else. Those cards were cut up and discarded when he died.

We primarily use our debit cards...I really do not like it. If Rod passed away tomorrow I think I would do as my girls do..use my CC then pay it off monthly. Or else write a check...I really prefer using checks but a lot of places don't like them anymore. Time will decide what we do.
For online I use a PayPal type of thing. But my bank acct. Is not connected to it.
Goodnight all sleep well.
