Oh, I just enjoy complaining about the weather once in a while. I enjoy complaining...about everything My computer was 'stuck' with a rotating blue ring yesterday. It is working again today...technology confuses me. I am going to send some cooler, wet weather to y'all but just for today....heat warnings are on the way for tomorrow. We were spared the frost but they got hit an hours drive from me. I hope they watered well.

Yes Tina...I'm sure there were lots of saddened people seeing frost this early. It is so humid outside, it is misting enough just to stir the flies and heat. As much as I hate to use my dryer this time of year...I had to put some clothes to wash. It multiplies in the hampers

Yep they do grow fast. My oldest GB will be 8 this September. Then 2 of them are 6.. Then 4 are 4 this year and the baby will be 2 in October.
My baby likes to do what her sister does. I still wonder how old Colt is this year...

Tina is fine. Tangela was sick and I was going through some nasty kind of guilt trips. But it is OK now. It was just a gastro thing taken care of by otc meds.

Sorry Tangela was/is sick. My Valarie has a cold also. Rod was concerned it was more than that but nope, just a cold. Apparently when we thought one of the girls had allergies it was a cold and she shared with mom. a I am glad all is better for you and Tangela now. I hope she is all better soon and does not share with.you or yours.
Happy Sunday to you all.

Now every time someone doesn't feel good we all think its CoVid19. Aubry didn't feel good, had a headache, AND had a fever, Shelley freaked, rushed her to the doctor, she's getting a 12 year molar. This panic is horrible.

It's not panic to be concerned, Sheri. There is a real pandemic with real consequences. I wasn't panicky and neither was Shelley. Sweet dreams all.

People here with allergies are confined to their houses....scared if they venture out and cough or sneeze that they'll be attacked. My DD's friend has a mask that says, "Smoker's Cough" stamped on the front of it.
We are under a heat warning for today....followed be a few cooler days to follow.

My groceries are here and put away. And I napped. I spent $320.00 and didn't even get much meat. It is mostly just foodstuff and paper goods. But I have things for salads and sandwiches and burritos and wraps. All good for hot weather. Plenty of eggs, beans and pasta too. I have a freezer full of meat to use up. I have gelatin to perk up Teddy's appetite too. Tonight, I'm thinking chicken and apple sausages with a salad side.

I just like having many options to eat and feed Teddy without a lot of effort and adding heat to the house. As soon as I get up the energy, I'm going to make Teddy some jello. I add fruit, nearly pulverized like babyfood. It's nearly the only way he will eat fruits and vegetables.

Tina, Shelley is definitely in a panic. Has been and it's hurting her health and upsetting her family to no end. There is a virus and it's serious but her panic has made it difficult for her to function and take care of herself and her family.

Yes, I've been considering sewing machine too. But then I do something like try to use a fork and knife with my achy hands and remember that I have two or three machines here already that just need to be Brought up to ready maintenance. My hands aren't capable of that anymore. Sigh.

Well I have my new lenses...there is something be wrong with the left lense but I guess I will adjust.. With my d eye Dr. at home I never had an issue..here it is one after the other.......
I looked at the machines the store that is close to me. They were several hundred dollars higher for less of a machine. Besides, I want a Singer. I will get what my sister bought...
Goodness is the store here does repairs...that is good information to have.

As for gelatin salads try this using lime jello....then.....
Take an amount of cottage cheese, rinse it of any milky coverings. Take the cottage cheese "pellets" add them to the jello as you would fruit. Iove it. I have not had any since I worked in a nursing home. They had it there often.

Teddy doesn't do lumps of any kind in food. It's a trial to feed him. I can put well cooked peas and carrots in his mac n cheese but the key is well cooked everything. It's got to be mushy stuff. A lot of mashed potatoes and carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, etc, around here. He does like spicy stuff though so that is cool. As long as it's not lumpy.

Do you use a blender for his food Tina? Yes. But not as often as I would like to because he objects to the noise. He is a pleasant paradox.

Tina, my Uncle had a stomach surgery and needed to have his food processed for a few months so they bought a 'Baby Bullet'. My Aunt said that if that was available 40 years ago....she never would have bought a jar of baby food. She said it worked amazingly.
Junie, I was busy helping DH for the day...we are getting our farm equipment ready for haying soon.

Yes rain for gardens are the best....it promises to rain here and then it does not...I am happy that you are getting rain.
Can your DH take mine with him to work, Sunny. ?? I would be so appreciative...
Hot and humid here today.

Speaking of rain, some areas not far from me are almost in drought conditions. So far this summer we've had a little rain every week. Some days more than a little but it's been a good thing with the temperatures so high.
I am really hating for school to start back in any form. It's been nice getting to talk to the grans whenever I want even with social distancing. Shelley's crew is ready to go back but Colt not so much. It just makes me laugh because his dad is the head master and his mom is a teacher at his school and he hates to go more than anything. Colby has taken all his high school courses and even though he'll be taking freshman courses at a local college (some online some in person), he'll still be considered a high school student and will be able to play baseball if they're allowed. I've seen where some schools have started football practice but Colby's school hasn't. Not sure they'll have fall and winter sports. Aubry misses her friends but Shelley is leaning toward online school for at least the first semester. I think Darbi's university is starting on time with sports as usual. I'm hating that Colby is so far ahead. The school has always wanted him to skip grades but Shelley never went for it. Now he's a senior but done with high school courses. He thinks it will be ok but I don't know how he'll stay involved in his high school when he's never there. Sad to me.

My daughter, a teacher, says she thinks that school will begin..then school will be out from say thanksgiving break until the end of the school year..npw this is nothing official. This may be her idea, it may be her hope. But whatever her driving force, this is what she said to me in the last few weeks.

Yes, I agree with your daughter. The covid will determine much. Most of Cal will start online classes only and will be determined as we go along. Sweet dreams all.

Well I for one am very glad my dd's youngest two are homeschooled... especially the youngest.. with his lack of a good immune system it would be very bad for him.... we are still home too... powers that be here are opening things up even with so many sick here... think they are nuts... we are in till there is a vaccine that is proven... people here wanted to open up schools and the parents said no way... so hopefully it will work that way ....
We are back to over 100's again , had a few cool days and that was nice... no ac bills...but it's back on today for the time being... hubby did mow today even though it was hot. had to do it twice it was so long... but now the dog is happy he can see over the grass again.... LOL! short stubby legs...
Well off to finish the laundry- sheets and towels day... then throw the comforter in with a damp towel to get the dog hair off... white hair shows up really well on a dark blue comforter... may replace it with a white on eventually...LOL!
Take care all and stay well.... Nana

Yes, we agree with you on the staying home thing...I have been to a grocery store 2 times since summer began..and to a few Drs. Visits. We watch or listen to church in our livingroom. Carol also cooks on Sunday..( I did not cook on Sunday's pre covid 19)
Summer is.2/3 over and I am still waiting for it to start

Oh my gosh this heat is killer and the humidity is unbelievable. I think I say this every year🌞 I’ve never liked the heat and still don’t. I thought old people preferred the summer. Maybe I’m not so old after all.

first off we are only as old as we feel..and me I'm about 25.....I have no idea how my daughter is 40, but oh well....
secondly, I hate the heat, and the humidity..but esp. the humidity...I think we could take more heat if the humidity was not so bad...and as I am used to mid-Illinois humidity, this Southern Missouri heat/humidity is esp. hard....I say we just complain and then forget about it..
going to say goodnight now---the kids are coming over for a bit tomorrow. So I should get some sleep.

Tina, I am with you....I venture out for banking once a month. There is two tellers and two people allowed in at a time. You have to wait on 6 ft apart circles in the line up in the hall and outside.
I have been out to the local grocer twice though(to prove my point that we are getting charged for name brand when they have store brand in stock)....and I travel for curbside pick up. A lot of our local stores are not open to the public anyway...they are family run so they have to be extra careful.
I think we are having the hottest, humid laden Summer on record as well. It makes a person feel exhausted trying to get things done, although I shouldn't complain too much since I am less than three months away from seeing snow.

Yes I agree about our children.
My Valarie and her DH have done and still do a lot of our shopping. I was doing my grocery shopping online with Wal-Mart. They were very efficient with their curb side pick up...but the last time I shopped like that..I found that Wal-Mart changed their shopping format, and after 2 hours, I had only found half if the items on my grocery list. They woukd give you sets of food you could pick from.... And if what you wanted was not there, too bad for you. So now I have been going shopping myself...but I only go about 1 time a month, and early in the morning when moat are sleeping yet.

More rain and humidity today...we are infested with earwigs outside. Today I will take GG's barn cat to the vet....he started with weepy eyes that have turned into a full blown infection. Have you ever noticed that it is always the 'favorite' that gets sick???? We already went through a paw infection and a side injury(abscess) with it. It seems that making him friendly has turned into a financial disaster.

No I do not have the kids today. Val had a check up yesterday so she went in to begin to prepare for school opening for a bit after it as well. I am going to miss the girls being in school this year...Even if they only end up going for a short time, I still will not be getting them. Momma will have them at home.
It seems to be overcast today. Better than the horrid heat we have been getting.

Sunny we have truly been fortunate with our animals. Andy is 9 and I don't think he's ever been sick and he's never had an injury. And our cats have been sick once or twice and the only injury one of them had was when she was attacked by another cat who was in our yard. Both cats are females that we had spayed as soon as we could so they don't stray away. Aubry's school opened yesterday. She's got her home area neat and organized so unlike her bedroom that it's funny. Ginger and their entire school staff were tested and she and Chris and everyone they've gotten a report for is negative. I don't know how many reports are left but I'll be amazed if they all come back negative. I'm also amazed that the medical facility is sending the reports to the school. I think this virus has thrown HIPPA out the window. I know previously at my allergy doc everything was quiet, hidden, and hush hush, and now I stand 6 feet back from the desk and shout out my name and birth date

Evening all, It is hot again here too.. 105* today and sticky. I am inside with the ac... don't know how my hubby stands it outside in this but he was born in AZ so guess that helped... We are still considered a hot zone for the virus in Az.. over a thousand cases yesterday... not here in Sierra Vista but in Pnx and Tucson it is bad and I ready Yuma is bad too... so much for us traveling this summer... sure hope they come up with a vaccine that works... My inlaws came over today.. gave us some produce from his garden... fresh tomatos... squash, cantaloupe.. that was really good... had grew corn too but he said the worms got it... was nice to see them even though we distanced with them... he has finally gotten the message having every tom dick and harry at his house isn't a good idea ... hubby told him if he exposed his sister with his open door to every person that shows up he will never forgive him.. she is 74 and diabetic... sure doesn't need to get this crap.. Well I need to go make some dinner- have leftovers to eat so it will be easy... been so quiet here... everyone must be busy... Nana

Thanks for explaining the school thing, Sheri.

Good morning. I wish I had something gooey to eat this morning. But nothing comes to mind (that doesn't involve standing in my kitchen). So I guess cereal will do until my groceries get here later.

Yes, Something gooey would be wonderful. I may have to make something..perhaps cookies...I found a new recipe for soft choc chip cookies. You add a box of instant vanilla pudding.

Why were you running with a cat?
We had a fire near here today. But it's now over 50% contained and lots of personnel on it. 50 acres involved. I just might be able to sleep tonight.

I am up at four am, looking for updates on our fire. All the news is still at the same 185 acres and 10% contained it was at about 11 pm. I guess I have to wait for daylight to find out anything. It is better than someone banging on my door telling me to leave, I guess.

Stay safe Tina, I seen news on your fire this morning. I wish I could send you some rain.
Tina, I had to take a barn ct to the vet, it had an eye infection. GG made a 'partial' pet out of it...so they gave us drops and meds for pain. Then they told me to take the cat back next week for an eye surgery, they think it has an eye defect called entropion. I am still waiting for the $$ quote first.

Oh, I am sorry, Sunny. I would wait for the quotes too before deciding. Still no update on my fire. It's been light for over an hour but no sign of aircraft overhead. So no news is still good news, I guess.
