Good morning everyone,
We got back late Friday night after a LONG day driving. 
I tried all day yesterday to get here, internet dropping out all day, it was really frustrating, no one could do anything. TV keep going out, John and Pete both trying to get work done, seems a bit better today, but I had sewing all day aft an early session of group fitness.

I will check in tomorrow to see how you all are doing

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to THERESA hope the move is going OK ((((hugs))))

I'll start threads for July tomorrow night - when you are all asleep, hopefully.

Welcome home, Trish.
   The guys are here working on our retaining wall and stairs.  They also plan to trim shrubs and mulch.  Unusual for them to work on a Sunday but 2 1/2 weeks of rain has put them behind.  They worked all day yesterday and got here about 7:30 this morning. 
    The sun is finally shining….so nice to see. 
Working on my sewing room this weekend.  Thought I should clean, sort and tidy up.  I’d rather be sewing.

TRISH......ITS ALWAYS NICE TO HEAR THAT SOMEONE GOT HOME SAFELY.  NOW YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU LIKE AND TAKE YOUR TIME, TOO.

JANET......IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU MAY HAVE A GOOD DAY TODAY.

DEVONNE.......HOW IS YOUR GARDEN GROWING?

LINDA......HOW ARE YOU DOING LATELY.  ARE YOUR FLOWERS BRINGING YOU JOY?

ITS A LOVELY START FOR OUR DAY WITH SUNSHINE, BUT RAIN EXPECTED IN THE AFTERNOON.  I JUST CHECKED ON MY GARDEN.  SOMETHING IS EATING SOME OF MY TOMATO BRANCHES.  I CHECKED FOR TOMATO HORNWORM BUT COULN'T FIND ANYTHING SO I PLACES SOME SHEETING IN FRONT OF THE PLANTS TO HOPEFULLLY DETER WHATEVER IT IS.
I ALSO PICKED LETTUCE, THYME, AND PARSLEY.  PUT THE HERBS IN JARS WITH WATER AND THE LETTUCE ON WET PAPER TOWELING.  I PLAN TO HAVE SOME WITH A CHICKEN SANDWICH FOR LUNCH.  I ALSO GOT 2 MORE RADISHES.  NO MORE LEFT IN THE ROWS SO I WILL ENJOY THEM FRESH WHILE I CAN.  THE ONLY WEATERING I DID WAS TO THE CUKE STARTS.  THEY ARE BIG DRINKERS.

I ROASTED SOME GARLIC TATERS AND CARROTS LAST NITE AND TOSSED A CHICKEN BREAST ON TOP.  MMMM, GOOD EATING.  I HAVE LEFTOVERS, OF COURSE.

THAT'S MY EXCITEMENT FOR THE DAY.  BE SAFE.  HUGS, QB S

Well, I haven't been able to post for a few days as the board changed on me.  Tracy is here today and helped me figure it out.  So, we are getting ready to leave now to get some chocolates, I like one a day, well maybe two!!!!  So will just say Hi and Goodbye as we are ready to leave.  Am so glad I got back on here, Love you all, BJ.

Patty- you described my day exactly!
Devonne- not exactly.  Both driveways need a lot of work. We have several estimates for all gravel (as we had) or paving it $$$.  The under deck drainage system has to be done.  The old one which was falling down was torn down when the new deck was done. Two outside doors in the back need to be replaced.  Two trees need major work.  Aren’t you glad you asked, lol.
Sandra and Devonne- most vegetable gardens around here are flooded and from what I’ve heard are ruined after 9 straight days of heavy rain.  Pity.
  Gotta run, I have a list of things/places to go to today….UPS Store, gym, trash, grocery store, Verizon store to get DHs iPad fixed, and lawn and garden/hardware store.  At least they are all in a small radius of about 3 miles but it will waste my entire morning.

Good morning.

If anyone has any extra rain, please send it here.  We're baking as we head into our third week of every day recording 100+ degrees (actual temps, not "feels like").  The "feels like" is something upwards of 110+ every day.  

Janet, good luck with all of that outdoor work.  It sounds like major project on top of major project.  Not fun for anyone.  

Sandra, hugs on your sad day.  

Trish, glad you are home from that bowls marathon.  

Theresa, hoping for a check-in and some good news about your mom's status.  

I'm working very few days at the ballpark.  It's just too hot, we have lots of young people home from college who want the hours, and I have lots of projects to get done.  Win, win for everyone.  I'm off to quilt -- donation quilt for MD Anderson Ovarian Cancer Research fundraiser is due by the end of the week.  It's on the frame.  I'll post pictures later.  

Stay cool and dry, everyone.  Trish, stay warm!
 

We had a severe thunderstorm yesterday evening. The lightning was horrible. Greg was in Douglasville & came to visit me in the downpour. Best Buy was giving him a hard time about returning a camera. His power is out and won't be restored until 9 pm tonight. There are major outages across Georgia. I was lucky!

Carol, I read about the heat in Texas. Be careful outside. Can you post a picture of the progress on Bonnie's quilt? 

BJ, I hope Tracy got some answers from the doctor.

Sandra, there are a lot of elderly people on cruises; lots of wheelchairs and scooters. I'll probably do one or 2 more if my health holds up.

I need to get the oil changed, but I'm waiting on Walmart's text to refill my prescriptions, so I can do both in the same trip. 

Theresa, I hope you & Todd got the move over with before the storms!

If you resemble any of these remarks, you are not required to identify yourself!
1.  If a bottle of poison reaches its expiration date, is it no longer poisonous or is it more toxic?
2.  In the word "scent", which letter is silent, the s or the c?
3.  Every time you clean something, you make something else dirty.
4.  The word "swims" is still "swims" even if it's upside down.
5.  Over 100 years ago, everyone had a horse, and only rich people had cars.  Now, everyone has a car, but only rich people can afford horses.
6.  Why is there a "d" in fridge, but not in refrigerator?
7.  I'm responsible for what I say, not what you understand.
8.  Common sense is like deodorant.  Those who need it most never use it.
9.  My tolerance for idiots is very low right now.  I used to have some immunity, but apparently there is a new strain out there.
10.  It's not my age that bothers me; it's the side effects.  
11.  I'm not saying that I'm old and worn out, but I make sure that I'm nowhere near the curb on trash day.  One can never be too safe.
12.  As I watch the younger generations try to write our history, I'm sure of one thing:  it will be full of misspelled words and missing punctuation.
13.  As I've gotten older, people assume I'm lazy.  I'm just energy-efficient.
14.  I haven't gotten anything done today.  I'm in the produce department trying to open this stupid plastic bag.
15.  I want to be 18 and try to ruin my life again.  I have different ideas.
16.  I'm on two simultaneous diets.  There wasn't enough food on one.
17.  I put my bathroom scale in the corner and that's where the little liar is staying until it apologizes.
18.  My mind is like my internet browser:  18 open tabs, 3 of them are frozen, and I have no idea where the music is coming from.
19.  It's hard to believe I once had a phone that was attached to the wall, and when it rang, I picked it up to answer the call without knowing who the caller was.
20.  My spouse says I keep pushing their buttons.  If that was true, I would have hit "mute" by now.
21.  There is no such thing as a grouchy old person.  We stopped being polite and started being honest. 


 

Air conditioner is not working….it’s only a year old.  Will be calling the HVAC people at 8am when they open. 🤦‍♀️. Always something here, we just can’t catch a break. 
    At least it’s under warranty….

Holly-you’re right about that!  At least the AC is under warranty so shouldn’t cost us anything….I hopr
