Trish, has having a new king made any changes in day to day life for you? 

I just finished Nora Roberts new book, Identity, from the library. It’s as good as all of hers are, and scary because it could happen. 

Tomorrow there is an electronics recycling, and Ralph has a carload, so we’ll do that first thing. 

Amary is in grade 4, and for an end of the year thing, each kid picked a famous person, dressed as them, and the audience had to guess who they were. She was Queen Elizabeth. Manda got her a hat on Amazon, and made a green coat dress, and it’s amazing. I’ll put pix on the blog tomorrow. 

Theresa, sounds like it’s really moving along! You’ll be so glad to go home!

Good Morning to everyone.  It is a beautiful day here at 8:15 am, the sun is so bright.  The fellow who does the yard work is due here about 9, will continue to clean the yard, it is looking so nice in the front which he did the first time and will move on to the side and back today, not sure he will get all done today.  But will be nice.

My family is all here, so I must quit and go visit with them.  Tracy is making breakfast, which will be nice.  Hope you have a nice day, everyone, BJ.

Afternoon y'all! 
Strings, I sent some of that stuff home already with hubby.  I am packing more. 
Holly, yes they are, I'm still not counting the hatched chickens!  The inspection for the lake is Thursday, so that will be a big hurdle, once we pass that I can watch that egg hatch! 
QB mom and I had Broccoli Cheese soup last night!  It was good! 
Janet, what color? 
Busy as usual.  Have not walked yet!  Went to Starbucks, to get mom a treat!  Walmart for some essentials, and a generic TV remote, here and emptying the drawers in the furniture we're taking.  Labeled the back of the drawers for their placement!  Not that it really matters.  Vacuumed the drawers out and cleaned the front of the drawers.  I sorted the items, by keep, sell, and Dsis stuff I don't know what to do with.  Found several wallets, and my mom's DL was in one, unfortunately it is expired, but it's an ID, I will try to get her one in GA, just an ID, she can't drive.  
The story on the needing to get a TV remote is: Dsis threw the remote away since mom kept playing with it.  We have looked everywhere, and DNeice told me that her mom threw a bunch of stuff like that away so mom couldn't "play" with it.  This from the woman that didn't return, nor did she throw away!  A hoarder!  So the things we need were tossed! 
I'm waiting on my Niece to help me pack mom, may go for a short walk, it's hot, was hot early! 
So on the subject of husbands!  I asked mine, a while back, if we should get mom an account at a branch bank.  He said no, a firm no!  Yesterday, he sends me an email to set up an account for her, for a branch bank!  Really dude, with everything I have to do this upcoming week!. I could have had this done a long time ago! GRRR! 
I guess I need to go get more stuff done. I need to vacuum the spots where the drawers went, loads of dust, but I need the mattress we have leaning against it gone, or moved.  That I will do Friday night.  hubby and I move that mattress into the Den and sleep on it so once he gets here, I can get it done.  Maybe I might move it to the Den and put it out of the way.  Not sure, but either way I need help with it!  I also need to do the drawers in the chest of drawers, I think those are empty!  I just need to vacuum the inside of the drawers, and where they sit!  That I can do without help, just need to move stuff from in front of it! 
We are getting a U-Haul to move mom, it's more expensive to get it from home, take it here, and return it home, than it is to get one here and return it home!  Go figure!
I'm living such an exciting life, just busy, not exciting! 
Later my Friends! 

Today would have been our 56th wedding anniversary. Bittersweet memories. I posted some pictures on FB. 

Judy, you made me hungry talking about the juicy burgers and homemade potato salad! Yum! I hope you send Sandra a picture of you when you're dressed up for the wedding. 

Janet, congratulations on the new SUV! Is this replacing the Rav4?

Greg rented a Toyota Corolla Cross SUV in Vegas. He thinks it would be a good SUV for me since I'm so short. He said it doesn't sit as high as other SUV's. I'm not ready yet financially nor ready to part with my old Highlander. I have loved this vehicle, but it is 16 years old.

I found the tv remote! I had taken it to the room where the dog crates are. Hooray!

Linda, I'm glad you were able to sell the old car and get what you wanted for it. 

Theresa, keep on keeping on! You're almost there! Billy's Mom lived alone until she was 91. We tried to get her to move to GA, but she wasn't leaving her home. A young man from her church checked on her regularly. 

It's not looking good for Sandy. I've spent a lot of money on joint supplements, but none of them seem to be helping. I have to keep the shampooer out now because she either can't make it to go outside, or she doesn't want to walk to the door. I've cleaned and cleaned the last two days. I'm calling the vet on Monday to see if we can do x-rays to find her problem. She might not recommend this because of her age. When she walks, she leans to the right more, but not all the time. Some days she can't raise her back legs enough to get back inside, and some days she does ok. She has good days where she sprints in the living room to the door. Right now she is rolling back & forth on the floor and "talking" to me. This is the Sandy I am used to.

She has stopped sleeping on the dog bed in my room, but sleeps on a dog bed in the living room. Last night she came in my bedroom and looked up at me. I folded a blanket on the floor and she slept there all night. I had to give her a bath last night and that was hard for me to get her out of the tub. She whined while in the tub so I gave her a pain pill after I dried her with the hair dryer. There's nothing wrong with her appetite!

Billy visiting me at Eastern Kentucky University. He gave me his senior ring and asked me to "go steady." Actually, I found out later he had lost his ring and gave me his brother's HS ring, lol. 



I'll post some more pics later.
