UNSCIENTIFIC ENGLISH.....
1.  OUR NEW TEACHER TOLD US ALL ABOUT FOSSILS.  BEFORE SHE CAME TO OUR CLASS, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT A FOSSEIL LOOKED LIKE.
2.  IRON WAS FIRST SMELLED IN 1759.
3.  ONE HORSEPOWER IS THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY IT TAKES TO DRAG A HORSE 500 FEET IN ONE SECOND.

WE ARE HEADED TO A COUPLE OF HOT DAYS, IN THE LOW 90S.  IN OUR NECK OF THE WOODS THAT'S A NO-NO.  WE AREN'T USED TO SUCH HEAT.  GLAD TO KNOW THAT WE MAY HAVE RAIN AGAIN THIS WEEKEND.

DEVONNE......CONGRATS TO YOU ON LOSING SO MUCH WEIGHT.  I KNOW ITS A CONTINUOUS STRUGGLE TO GET EVEN LOWER.  ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE TEMPTING SNACKS ONE ADORES.

LINDA.....GOOD FOR YOU GETTING TO VISIT YOUR SISTER.  AND ALSO DOING SOME OF HER LAUNDRY.  I AM SURE SHE APPRECIATES IT. HAVING COMPANY IS ALSO TIRING FOR A PATIENT.

TODAY IS OUR BAR-B-Q AFTERNOON.  MANAGEMENT PUTS ON A FEED FOR US GRILLING BURGERS AND HOT DOGS AND WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS, INCLUDING SOFT DRINKS AND DESSERTS.  THEY DO ALL THE WORK.  WE JUST SIT AND ENJOY AND STUFF OUR FACES.  I GUESS I WON'T COUNT CALORIES TODAY.
I'VE BEEN BAD THO AND AFTER MY SHOWER THIS MORNING I STOOD ON THE SCALE.  I AM UP 3 NASTY OLD POUNDS THAT I DO NOT WANT.  I WILL HAVE TO GET BACK ON TRACK AFTER THE BAR-B-Q.  I AM NOT PASSING UP THE FEEDBAG TODAY.
OUR PIZZA PARTY HAS BEEN CHANGED TO NEXT FRIDAY INSTEAD OF 2 DAYS FROM NOW.  THEY FIGURED TOO MANY  PARTIES TOO CLOSE TOGETHER.  I AM HAPPY TO HEAR THAT SINCE IT WILL BE AFTER MY VISIT TO MY CARDIOLOGIST.  GOSH, I HOPE I CAN DROP LB OR TWO BY NEXT TUESDAY.
BINGO AGAIN TONITE.  TODAY IS A GOOD DAY.  FUN THINGS HAPPENING.  AFTER THE PARTY I CAN START A NEW JIGSAW PUZZLE.  LUCKY ME I FINISHED MY LAST ONE JUST IN TIME TO CLEAR OFF THE TABLE SO IT CAN BE USED FOR THE BAR-B-Q.  WE ALSO HAVE SOME STAFF JOIN US FOR THE EATING AND NEED THE PUZZLE TABLES AND CHAIRS SO 2 OF US CLEARED THEM FOR USE YESTERDAY.
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO A FUN DAY TODAY.
THAT'S IT FROM ME LADIES.  STAY SAFE.  HUGS, QB S

Devonne, I’d keep the tests, covid is here forever. 

I saw a Walgreen’s ad that said they are starting to give flu shots this month because flu was so bad last year. 

WA and OR are both hazy from the fires. 

New show starts Friday on USA, Anna Pigeon based on the books about a forest ranger. 

It’s looking like rain, getting dark. 
 

Sandra, that sounds like some good food! I'm glad you enjoyed it and some for later too! No cooking is wonderful.

Judy, why don't you ever go with Howard to eat with the Romeos?

I bought Jack Daniels pulled pork. It's my dinner so hope it's good! I had to wash the area rug in the living room. Washable rugs are wonderful & very affordable. I had to get a special mat for LVP flooring.

My next project is family pictures. I have no room for all these pictures so I'll put them in bins with lids. I already have two gallery walls with family pictures. The frames will go to the thrift store.

I am donating a nice bed frame & footboard to the thrift store. The mattress is new and will go to the other guest room. That mattress will go to the curb. I'm keeping one guest bed "just in case" it's needed.

I decided to save the Covid test kits as a souvenir. Not a good memory, but it is what it. is. They are expired and not being issued anymore by the government as of March 2025.

Devonne, because ROMEOS means Retired Old MEN Eating Out Somewhere.  And I enjoy my bit of time alone at home more.  Will be eating out tomorrow with ML and friend, Carole.   

THESE COLLEGE APPLICATIONS NEED A 2ND THOUGHT.....
1.  IF THERE IS A SINGLE WORD TO DESCRIBE ME, THAT WORD WOULD HAVE TO BE "PROFECTIONIST."
2.  I WAS ABDUCTED INTO THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY.
3.  I FUNCTION WELL AS AN INDIVIDUAL AND AS A GROUP.

TODAY AND TOMORROW WILL HIT 90 AND 91 BEFORE WE GO BACK DOWN AGAIN.  I LOVE THE SUNSHINE BUT NOT THE HEAT.  RIGHT NOW ITS 71 AND LOVELY.  LUCKY US THO, OUR EVENINGS DROP DOWN TO 60S AND 70S FOR RELIEF.

REMEMBER LADIES, THIS WEEK WE HAVE A BDAY FOR JANET ON THE 7TH AND AN ANNIV. FOR PATTI ON THE 8TH.

OUR BAR-B-Q WAS GREAT.  WE HAD RESIDENTS AND MANAGEMENT ALONG WITH THE MAINTENANCE STAFF HERE.  I COMPLIMENTED THE GUY THAT GRILLED THE BURGERS.  THEY WERE THICK AND JUICY THIS YEAR.  LAST YEAR THEY WERE THINNER AND DRY.  A NEW GUY, A NEW BURGER.  YUMMY.  THERE WERE BOTH REGULAR BEEF AND RED HOT DOGS.  RED ONES ARE A MAINE THING I THINK.  WE ALSO HAD CHEESEBURGERS ALONG WITH DARK MEAT AND BREAST MEAT CHICKEN GRILLED.  A VARIETY OF SIDE DISHES AND DESSERTS AND ASSORTED SODAS OR WATER. I OVERDID THE EATING BUT IT SURE WAS GOOD GOING DOWN.  WE EVEN GOT DOGGY BAGS TO TAKE HOME.  I TOOK HOME CHICKEN BREASTS, MAC SALAD, COLE SLAW AND SLICED TOMATOES TO EAT TODAY.
I LOST $6 AT BINGO LAST NITE.  THAT'S THE MOST I CAN LOSE SINCE ITS ALL WE BRING TO BINGO.  NOT BAD FOR A NICE NIGHT'S ENTERTAINMENT.
TODAY I AM GOING TO OUR LOCAL FIRE STATION WITH MY NEIGHBOR KATHY.  THEY GOT A GRANT TO PROVIDE NEW BOOKS AND FRESH PRODUCE TO LOCAL SENIORS.  THIS HAPPENS EVERY THURSDAY NOW TIL THE MONEY RUNS OUT.  I AM GOING TO SEE WHAT I CAN BRING HOME.  I HOPE FOR SOME FRESH TOMATOES, CUKES, AND MAYBE SOME FRUIT.  IT ALL HELPS REDUCE MY GROCERY BILL.
I HAVE TO START A NEW JIGSAW PUZZLE TODAY NOW THAT MY TABLE IS FREE AGAIN.  THIS TIME I AM GOING TO DO A 500 PIECE PUZZLE MY NEIGHBOR'S SON GOT HER.  IT LOOKS LIKE IT WON'T BE TOO BAD.  THE PIECES ARE NOT ALL ALIKE SO THAT HELPS.

I WISH YOU ALL A NICE DAY.  ENJOY IT.  HUGS, QB S
