Good Morning, Tracy is still sleeping, so won't take my shower just yet.  Think Frank is sleeping, too.  It is very breezy out this morning, and 58*.  May warm  up later.  Believe Jamie is leaving on his trip today, not sure where they are going, maybe Vegas.

I have nothing to say this morning, still kind of dopey, but I have done my exercises.  Wow, the wind is really blowing up high, but down low, nothing!!  I'm going to sign off, wishing you all well, BJ.

Cheryl, you can still plant the Dahlia bulb you broke and it will come up. It's my favorite flower. My MIL had giant ones that grew along a fence. The yellow ones were my pick, but she had some beautiful purple and dark red ones.

Holly, I've been to 37 states. Most of the states I haven't visited are up north. I have a Samsung fridge. It's stainless steel, french door and has the extra drawer in the middle. I just love that extra drawer. It's where I keep all my bottled drinks. I would not recommend Samsung. They have had a lot of recalls. They came out last year and replaced my ice maker for free and the recall on my fridge was years ago. It was great customer service, but it still makes a funny noise. I have the ice/water in the door because my family loves ice. The ice makers are a lot smaller than they used to be. Gary bought an ice maker that sits on the counter top and they love it. When this one goes, I'll probably get a Whirlpool or GE.

It's been a really pleasant weekend, only in the 70's. My lawn guy's mower needed repairing so he's behind on his jobs. My yard looks pitiful. I keep saying I'm going to find someone else, but he's always been here and he needs the money...divorced with 3 kids.

 

I totally forgot to come here last night!  Thank you, Trish!  Thank you for everything!

My niece (J) is still in the hospital, still in ICU.  It's been over 9 weeks now.  We saw my brother and SIL yesterday.  They met us at Mom's after visiting their daughter in the hospital.  Such a sad situation!  The poor woman has had it rough, but she and her husband have made the most out of life and traveled all over the world during her healthier times.

Your continued prayers are appreciated! 🙏🏻

I better run for now.  I've a million things to do, 🤪 and a busy week of appointments ahead.

Have a wonderful week. 🙏🏻

You are getting hot, we are getting cold LOL it's actually quite cold for right now, and came up quickly, we went from t-shirts to winter jackets!

SANDRA your menu sounds delish! I know Matt will enjoy your food, they do love Florida don't they, would be my worst pick, I don't like the heat! Enjoy those strawberries YUM!

CAROL we will have those temps before long, I understand about the socks, it's why I wear sandals most of the summer, you just get too hot, our socks are wet by the time we finish training in just an hour! Totally agree on the slides with socks, looks odd to me, but apparently it's trendy LOL

HOLLY I have a fridge with freezer at the bottom, I was resistant, but love it now, so easy to use when you get used to it. We have separate freezer (upright)  in the garage, also a smaller fridge, freezer on top. My big fridge is a Westinghouse, it is stainless steel, and it is very easy to keep clean, better than the white, I have now most of my appliances as stainless steel, they were all white in years gone by, I just couldn't find what I wanted in the white, I have glass shelves that can be moved with "slots' every about 2" and the freezer has a small drawer for ice cubes. I have never had the water/ice dispenser, we just use trays and pop out the cubes, love the face it's a separate drawer. The fridge has a smaller veg compartment on the left and larger on the right, both can be removed easily to washout (lucky because I do that every second week at least LOL )

DEVONNE I would have thrown out the bulb too, I didn't realise you could still plant after damaging it like that.
I've been to quite a few states in the north, less in the south. 

CHERYL sounds like me, I supervise the gardening, then he goes NUTS after I leave. I used to put the pots where I wanted them, then find out he actually measured to make sure they were the same distance apart LOL W2e d o not agree with gardening!

I have been cleaning up, want to get the floors polished tomorrow. and I stopped and got some supples to take away with us, just long life milk tea/coffe oats and rye cruskits and  I had extra peanut butter here. I know he will want sweets to take along as well. I won't get them till day before, he will eat them otherwise.

Just finished quilting and trimming the last QAYG blocks, I will need to lay them out, so will do that now, then tomorrow I will need to experiment how big to cut the joining strips, I might even take them away with me, if I decide to handsew them on the reverse side. I over bought on the thread, I got 3 reels, I have only used 1 so far, and will need to use black to join. So I have to find another use for the other 2 I bought, wonder if they will exchange them for a different colour, they are still in their wrapping. 



 

Good Morning, it is a fairly bright day here, but sure has been raining overnight.  No sun, but lots of white clouds and bright blue sky.  I'm not feeling very bright this morning, so will just say Hello! to everyone and sign off.  Sorry, no thoughts!!  Have a wonderful day and stay well, BJ.

Holly, congratulations on the new LG fridge. When we bought our front loader washer/dryer combo in 2007, we bought LG. I still have the LG dryer and it still works...it's 17 years old. Sometimes I do have to start it again when the load is not dry. Hope to replace it this Fall.

My Samsung stainless steel does show every fingerprint, but the stainless steel spray works great and it's easy to clean. The spray is made by Wiemann (spelling?). Walmart, Lowes and Home Depot sell it. It never entered my mind about not needing the water/ice dispenser, but I could also do without it. I buy bottled water & I could get the counter ice maker. I drink a lot of vitamin water.

Trish, Greg asked me if I wanted to look at Mazdas and I told him no, because I don't know anything about them, lol. The Buick Envision and the Subarbu Outback both sat really good and the seats were comfortable for my bad back. I am so short and have short legs and both of these vehicles were easy to get in and out. Toyota started making the Highlander a lot bigger. Greg bought one and kept it for six months. The gas mileage was terrible. The next smaller Toyota SUV is the RAV 4 (I haven't looked at it yet, but the seats look small on the internet.) I still have the Honda CRV to look at as well. Greg wants me to look at the Hyundai Tucson. It's the Lexus RX 350 I want, but it's out of my price range. 

Diane, continued prayers for J. I was hoping she would be out of ICU by now.

We’re back.  The visit with the boys was very nice.  The ride is long and weary.  Son and DIL don’t change.
   We were thinking about the Lexus GX but the closest dealer is 90 miles away. 
I have the Ford Edge ST…visibility for backing up and/or parking is not very good.
    Today’s DH’s birthday.  He wants chocochip pumpkin cake and a stir fry dish that I make. 🤷‍♀️. Go figure.

I am just full of not such good news.

Gary put freon in my car and it has leaked out, so I need to take it to a repair shop. Evidently, the hose must have a hole in it somewhere. Is this the start of me needing a better car? 

More not good news...
Gary has an 'enlarged area" on his aorta. He is to make an appt. with the cardiologist. If it bursts, he said you could bleed to death. That's how he explained it & it's all I know.

His carotid artery results weren't good....50% blockage in both arteries.

He also has a thyroid cyst. I'll be going with him to the doctor to get a scan whenever it's scheduled. 

I had a terrible night last night. I think this is more than just a sinus infection. I am off to hopefully fall asleep.

I need to charge my Iphone and my laptop...later, friends!
