I rarely eat coleslaw anymore because of the fat and sugar.
Finally, a day without rain.

SANDRA good for you!!! A win is a win!! I was watching the last episode of McDonald & Dodds, saw the name Jason Hughes, it was Jones from Midsomer, and he turned out to  be the murderer. He was quite a bit older, so the series is much newer than Midsomer. Remember when the new Barnaby was the suspect in an earlier series,  so weird, and he was a creepy character, funny when you see them in the other shows.

DEVONNE I guess they had a car issue, good for you to  help out if you could, I forgot to comment on your pots, we can get a rollaway thing you put the pots on, so you can move them, might be worth a try, they are just wired base on wheels, so the water goes through them, I have moved quite heavy ones with them. I think you'd only get them in a garden nursery.

JANET I still have my slaw but I make the dressing wth greek yoghurt, it's really good. I do add a little cider vinegar and tiny bit of sugar to it as well. Very low fat and taste is really good, I do add some spices as well.

HOLLY that is a good recipe, I would cut out the sugar for us, and maybe the powder and add fresh grated onion and garlic. I don't usually use the powder in those flavours. I'm glad you find your car good, we love the Mazda, the Tuscan wasn't as comfy for us. And we liked all the extras LOL

INDY yep, almost ready, the girl in the pharmacy this morning saw me, fist thing she said - is he going??, they know him well, she told him couple days ago if I said he wasn't going he wouldn't be!! I should be able to check in, maybe not every day, and not for the next couple while we are transitting. 15 hours first leg, 3 hours layover to change planes, and 7 1/2 hours last. Enough time in Doha to hopefully wash my face, clean my teeth and do my makeup,  I always feel better after that, I don't want to try to have a shower, I would stress about time. 

Megan came around last evening, she sorted her father out, he now has some more clothes packed, he has also put some cough mix into a small container so he can take it.
I just have to pack the makeup and chargers and we'll head off in a couple hours, possibly 3 hours would be my choice, but if he starts pacing I'll get Pete to drop us earlier. We can have coffee at the airport and he can annoy Julie & Sarah, they will be there early, Julie's husband is taking them to lunch on the water near the airport, then they will get there early. 
Interestingly this time, my bag doesn't weigh much, 19kgs, we are allowed 25kg. And my carryon is only 5 kg, I'm allowed 7, so I have plenty of room, the packing cells have worked well, and I was organised with what went with what clothes wise LOL

Holly, I have heard of the listeria outbreak. At first, I thought it was processed meat in packages, but it's from sliced deli meat. Boar's Head has recalled some of their products. It's affecting 12 states, mostly states in the north, but it's also here in GA and NC. I think it's from unsanitized dirty equipment, not washing their hands, maybe using the same gloves all day long? Could be the meat isn't kept at the right temp...who knows?

I saw on the news Celine Dion is making a comeback at the Olympics, maybe with Lady Gaga? I'm really surprised after watching her documentary. I'm glad she is feeling well enough to do this. She's one of my favorite singers.

I'm headed to Walmart, then going to visit Gary and the kids.

Sandra, I use white vinegar.

My guild is going to have a program at our first September meeting about some of the disappearing blocks. One member is explaining disappearing nine patch, another one disappearing pinwheel, and I will explain disappearing four patch. In preparation for that, I just finished a red/white/blue top that I will donate to QOV after I get it quilted.

In a couple of weeks, I will be going to Hopkinsville to see Clarissa in Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat. She has the lead female part!  This year is the 15th anniversary of the community theater group the whole family has been involved in from the beginning.  In fact, Melanie was one of the founding board members. In celebration of that, they are going to do a “Cabaret” after the regular performance that will feature songs by past cast members of previous plays. David, Melanie, Jessica, Clarissa and Nathanael (if he can arrange a flight home) will all participate. Zach can’t get off work or would also be there.

Sandra, maybe BJ needs Tracy there to remind her to post? 
I just spent an hour in the sewing room, did a Halloween themed table runner top, and laid out the next one. My floor lamp should be delivered today. 

My plan for today is read, crochet, and figure out what’s for dinner. 

We had a good time with our group yesterday.  I always wish I didn't have to go, then wish it wasn't over.  Some of us never grow up!    Howard has been out in the back pulling weeds.  He's sitting here with his shirt off trying to cool off.  Doors are open and it's comfortable without the A/C.  "Summertime, and the livin' is easy!"
I wish...  Another pleasantry though is, Shena and Tom's single rooster is happily crowing and crowing...

Devonne, nice one! (NOT)   QB, I can't imagine running my hand over a branch to feel for  horn worms!  
But can understand the efficacy of that.  I CAN pick up an earthworm, though, with no qualms.  Should be the same difference. 

Earlier this morning, we watched our resident ground hog sunning himself and eating from the grass all the while watching, watching  for any predator.  He or his ilk have been living under our yard barn for years.  We only ever see one.  I looked up info on them, but it wasn't very interesting or comprehensive.

Andrew is home for the weekend again.  No new info on his job search.  Being a process, it will take some time.  He's having coffee with his life-long friend, Karl who's also home from NASA  in Houston where he's a space engineer.  They were also roommates at Purdue.  

Well, I'm scrambling for something to say so will spare you further and do as Holly...figure out supper!
Indy
