Cheryl, do you pronounce it the Italian way- pasta va-zool? 
Sandra, lots of restrictions on the new drivers. No driving after midnight, only one non relative passenger, and I don’t know what else.

Trish, we’ve had photo licenses for years, this is some kind of security enhanced license.

A dreary day, to be a dreary week. Big Ed’s funeral will be down the shore area, about an hour from us. 

I made waffles and bacon for breakfast, so I will skip lunch. 

Did I mention I have another retreat coming up in a few weeks?  We have been doing this for 6 years.  Looking forward to it.

The doctor has ordered a chest x-ray and pulmonary function test for Howard.  Prescribed an inhaler for his wheezing and a lotion (turned OTC) for his rash.  Then we went to W-M for those and a few groceries and a return for me.  A blouse with way to long sleeves and skimpy around the middle...wouldn't you know?  

Today is Howard's 74th birthday.  He started that off by getting up and waking me up with his dressing, etc.    I will make him a cherry (pie filling) cobbler since that's what I have to work with.  the peach one last week was good.  We give no b.d. gifts anymore.  Get what we want when we want it.

I got my super-duper license 3 years ago.  BTW, that's NOT what it's called her in Indiana.  I just can't remember what.  Try getting it when you've been married before!   The bugaboo is  the two name changes from your maiden name.   I had to have several  documents including one from IL's capital, Springfield, since we got married in Chicago, plus a copy of my first marriage license  here in town.    Those were the trickiest and most irritating.  I just plowed along til I had them all.  

I agree...times have changed.    Growing up, we knew all our neighbors and we were rural and separated by the farmland.  When my Grandma tragically died, it was harvest time and the neighbors came and did Grandpa's harvesting for him.  That good deed made the local paper.  

We heard this rat-a-tat-a-tat this morning.  At first it seemed like it was inside, but turns out, it was a woodpecker pecking on the metal chimney pipe.  He probably wasn't getting anywhere, LOL, but it sure got our attention.  Two nights ago, when H. took Fancy out for the last time, there was a doe lying in the corner of our front yard.  She stayed down until he started walking on the porch back to the door.  

Theresa,  best wishes as you wind all this up in SC.  Nice that Luke wants to accompany you.  It will eventually fade some, but you'll never forget what all you've been through.  Hugs and blessings. 
Indy

I picked up my prescription at Walmart and met Gary at Wendys. I gave him $200 for taking care of Molly and Gracie while I was gone. I would have paid Dee a lot more. He never wants to take $$ from me, but I knew he was broke. 

I'm still tired, so resting this week. It's movie week and minimal housecleaning. Leftover eggplant pizza for dinner.

I get my driver's license renewed this October. I guess they will add a star to my license and I won't need a special "REAL ID" card.

Holly- I was referring to those who don’t seem to “need” any background check, etc for IDs or IDs at all.  Nuff said.

DEVONNE.....THANKS FOR THE PICTURES.  IT GIVES MORE INSIGHT ON HOW THING ARE THERE.
POOR BACARDI, THAT IS A TERRIBLE INJURY TO HER LEG. I HOPE SHE DOES WELL.

WE ARE IN A SUNSHINE POCKET RIGHT NOW.  EXPECTING MORE RAIN, RAIN, RAIN FOR THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS AND WARMER THAN NORMAL TEMPS.  I HAVE TO TAKE OUT MY TRASH WHILE THE SUN IS SHINING OR I WON'T GET A CHANCE FOR ANOTHER DAY OR TWO.  
ONE OF MY NEW NEIGHBORS, WHOM I GAVE THE LIBRARY INFO TO, IS ON SALLY'S LIST NOW FOR GETTING BOOKS.  SAW HER AT THE MAILBOX AND SHE IS THRILLED TO GET HERS YESTERDAY AS WELL.  POOR SALLY MUST BE RUN OFF HER FEET WITH DELIVERIES.  THIS MORNING I JUST STARTED MY FIRST OF 5 SALLY BROUGHT ME YESTERDAY.  THIS ONE IS FROM THE CAT WHO.....SERIES BY LILIAN JACKSON BRAUN.  LOVE THAT SERIES.  I NAMED MY 2 SIAMESE CATS AFTER QWILLERAN'S KOKO AND YUMYUM AND IT WAS SO FUNNY THAT THEY AND MINE WERE ALIKE IN SOME WAYS.  KOKO COLLECTED HIS TINY TOY MICE, DIMES, RINGS, AND BITS AND EVEN MY HUBBY'S WATCH ONE TIME, AND HID THEM UNDER A BOOKCASE.  IF ANYTHING WENT MISSING, WE ALWAYS CHECKED HIS HORDE.  YUMYUM WAS THE SWEET LOVING ONE.  ITS BEEN AWHILE BUT I STILL MISS THOSE TWO.

THAT'S IT FROM ME LADIES.  I WILL BE PLAYING BINGO TONITE AND I HAVE ENOUGH LEFTOVER BURRITO MIX TO GET ME THRU THE DAY WHILE I LAZE ABOUT AND READ.  
HUGS FOR YOU ALL.  QB S

Janet, I’ve had one of those “if anything could go wrong…” mornings too. Thankfully, mine wasn’t very serious. I was fusing flowers and stems on a center panel for a quilt. First I fused a stem in the wrong place. It took a while but I managed to get all the stickiness off the fabric. Next I fused a couple of flowers in a spot that wasn’t supposed to have anything on it. I decided they will stay there and I will make four more flowers to go in the right place. Now I’m almost afraid to work on it anymore!  Maybe after lunch and exercise class I can think clearer and fuse pieces correctly.

Yesterday was quilt guild meeting day. We have been having better attendance than we did for a while.  We have only 16 members so miss anyone who can’t attend. There will be only 7 or 8 of us at retreat in three weeks but I am really looking forward to it. Retreats are my only vacations.

Holly, yes I pronounced the soup the same as the Olive Garden waiter did!  Pasta Vazool.    Looks like Pasta faglioli.  Sandra, yes, it is pasta and beans; canned white beans and kidney beans.  I will post the recipe on the recipe thread.  It was really easy to do and we all liked it.  I took some to my BIL and his wife and to a friend of ours.  Still lots left over and I think it will freeze well.

Here in Ohio, we do have to do an eye exam when renewing the driver's license.  Ohio now has a renewal for 8 years BUT, since Dean and I are over 65 we cannot do that and must renew every 4.  Nothing like age discrimination.

I received a summons once again to be on a Federal jury.  I was on one 4 years ago.  I don't mind the actual jury duty but I hate driving in town and trying to find a place to park.  The Federal Courthouse has no parking and one must find a parking garage or lot.  I am so irritated.  I also had a local petit jury duty last year but got lucky and did not have to actually report, just checked online for 10 days to see if I had to go to court.   The jury duty selectors must like me.  

Good Morning, it is 35* here today, but very sunny, lovely day.  Have no plans for the day, but tomorrow I have an eye dr. appt.  Such fun!!!

Have no plans for the day, believe Rhonda is coming over this afternoon, no plans!  Well, I have nothing more to say, so will sign off, wishing you all well, BJ.

Cloudy and dreary here also. I just read that again jersey is #2 in education in the country. I didn’t read the whole article, but CT is usually #1. 

Cheryl the lunch meat capicola, not sure of the spelling, it’s a spiced ham, is pronounced gabagool by Italians. I can hear my MIL and grandmothers in law in my head! 
Janet, will he lose a deposit?
Theresa, I hope the lake settlement goes well!
I have the weather channel on, looks like the south has a lot of storms that they are going to share with us! 
This was to be Heather’s last week on night shift, turned into bereavement time. She starts days next week. 
Janet, that’s pretty scary about the propane! I’m glad it worked out ok.
