A trooper pulls over a priest and immediately smells alcohol on his breath. The next thing he notices is an empty wine bottle lying on the passenger seat. “Have you been drinking?” the officer asks. “Just water,” says the priest. “Then why do I smell wine?” The priest looks at the bottle and shouts, “Good Lord! He’s done it again!”

RAIN IS EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND.  WE'VE HAD SUCH LOVELY WEATHER THAT SOME RAIN IS WELCOME.

DEVONNE.......THAT'S TOO BAD THE WHOLE CHAIR DIDN'T ARRIVE.  I WAS SURPRISED IT CAME IN 2 PIECES.  I'VE ONLY EVER BOUGHT FROM A LOCAL FURNITURE STORE SO MINE WAS DELIVERED BY TWO GUYS.

DIANE......I HOPE YOU AND DH ARE FEELING BETTER AFTER A FEW DAYS OF THE FLU OR WHATEVER HIT YOU.  
I JUST LEARNED WE HAVE A RESIDENT WITH COVID.  SHE WAS TOLD TO STAY IN HER APT TIL A CERTAIN DAY BUT I HEAR SHE'S NOT FOLLOWED THAT ADVICE.  I'M HAPPY TO REPORT I HAVEN'T BUMPED INTO HER IN THE HALLS BUT WILL BRING A MASK WITH ME FOR TRIPS IN THE HALLWAY IN CASE I MEET UP WITH ANYONE.

THERESA....WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU?  I DIDN'T EXPECT YOU TO BE GONE SO LONG.  ARE YOU TAKING UP RESIDENCE IN NORTHERN MAINE?

CAROL.....GOOD TO HEAR THE 2ND SURGERY WENT WELL.  IT SURE IS AMAZING HOW MUCH WE DON'T REALIZE WE CAN'T SEE TIL ITS DONE.  

I HAVE COOKING ON MY DAY PLAN TODAY.  I WANT BOTH DISHES MADE BEFORE MY SON ARRIVES TO SHOP TOMORROW.  I LOVE BOTH THE TATER TOT SAUSAGE CASSY AND THE CHICKEN RICE SOUP SO I'VE GOT A SMILE ON MY FACE.  I WILL EAT WELL THIS WEEKEND.
I MANAGED TO SWIFFER WET JET MY FLOORS YESTERDAY.  THEY SURE LOOK GOOD AFTERWARDS.  I LOVE THAT IT CLEANS MY FLOORS AND I DON'T HAVE TO WRING OUT A MOP TO DO THEM.  LOVE SOME OF OUR MODERN CONVENIENCES.

THAT'S IT FROM MY LITTLE CORNER OF THE WORLD.
STAY SAFE.  HUGS, QB S

Good Morning to everyone!!  It is very still outside, but the sun is barely beginning to shine.  Should be nice as the day progresses.  Not a bit of movement outside.  Believe Rhonda will be over later, think I have an eye appt. later today.

I really don't have anything to say, so will sign off, wishing you all a wonderful day, BJ.

Judy, deepest sympathy on the loss of Fancy.  I know the  heartache of losing a fur-baby.  You did right by her.

Carol, nice to hear your cataract surgeries went well.  Mine were months apart, so the time between was pretty bad with distortion.  Dean would like to get it done but he was just at the eye dr and they said he did  not need it yet.  He does have the beginning of macular degeneration so he is taking some over the counter pills.

Devonne, hope the rest of your chair arrives soon. 

We are going to the high school football game tonight and then to Columbus tomorrow to watch grandson Andrew run in a cross country race.  He is in 8th grade but was invited to run with the HS team and he is thrilled.  He is like Dean and loves to run.  I don't understand it.    Dean does not run any longer due to his knees being replaced but he misses it every day.

It is humid and drizzling rain now and again, so I hope it clears by football game time.

Speaking of gasoline, it is $2.90 now.  Dean went and topped off my tank since it was mostly full.  Not sure why the drop, but glad to have it.
 

SANDRA your menu sounds yum, I am glad you had enough energy to do the floor, always makes you feel a bit better to accomplish something you wanted to do, Good to hear you won a little, at Bingo, Hope the germs stay away from you, silly woman, She possibly forgot.

CHERYL I can sympathise, we had hot, humid this morning, now of course it's a lot cooler, it was really hot training this morning LOL We were all red faced and sweating. Enjoy the game!

DEVONNE hope you enjoy your soup, I make it and chicken soup a lot, wonder why Billy didn't like meat in it. If you make it thick enough (with veg and meat)  it's good as a meal, with some crusty bread, or even pasta cooked and added to it. Hope your other delivery comes quickly. Strange they came separate.

CAROL great news on the surgery, I am hoping to get a booking when I see them in Oct. Who knows he may ask me to wait still, it's getting harder to drive  at night, the lights really hit me in the eye now, feels like every light is on high beam!

INDY Happy birthday to Andrew, how did he get so old ?? I think the same about our grand, John will be 19 in Dec YIKES!!  You and I can't be that old LOL Good you only have to bring drinks and ice, although the ice is often a problem, it melts so fast in the heat, hope you have a good cooler.  Indy you are right, too sad to see the way some don't care for themselves, both boys dislike going to their grand parents, it's hard for G because he sees them react with us, they chatter away, and they have nothing to say to his parents, must be very hard to see, but I can't change how I am with them, and never will either. Neither one of the boys wants to visit them now, John always uses University as an excuse, makes his dad angry, but M has tried to make him see that John was never part of their lives - their choice. 

JANET glad to hear things are getting better - makes it more fun for you, although you could always just go out by yourself I guess (((hugs)))

HOLLY I can only wish for fuel to be that price, it's so expensive here. Anything new at the library?
I got some books on Kindle to take away, forgot I had one set, it's The Shakleford (sp?) Sisters. Rather silly about a vicar who has 8 daughters and wants to marry them off, kind of Mills & Boon I think set in the 19th century. Not sure I'll even finish the first one, rather boring!

DIANE hope you and DH are feeling better, and your family are coping OK

I can smell bush smoke, they must be back burning - yuk! It stinks, and the house will have to be closed up, it was very hot yesterday and the temp stayed pretty warm last night, I had everything open to let the cool breeze in.

The old farm house block next to us is being sold off, the owner told us in June, the largest part of the block has been sold, the smaller block next to us not yet, the whole thing is equal to about 3 large house blocks. one more than twice as big as the other  the larger one with the old house sold for $2,350,000  they have the other - just land listed at $900,000. I think it will sell for that, or quite close to it, It's an odd shaped block, at least when they start doing things on the other one it won't be too close to us, it's on a corner so they can have 2 access points for houses, 
It will be interesting to see what happens to it. Rob (owner) has been spending a lot of money doing the house up, what a waste, it will get knocked down, we knew his mum well, she owned most of the land in this area, she was near 100 when she died, tough old lady, at 90+ she was bending at the waist and pulling weeds, sad to see the old place go, a lot of memories, we never saw Rob when she lived there, we knew she had a son, towards the end he visited a few times and apparently saw her in the nursing home nearby, Warwick used to see her there too. 
 

I got a Fed Ex package that is not mine. I called Fed Ex and they won't pick it up. I need to take it to one of their locations. UPS would have been right here to get it. It's on the way to Carter's birthday...about a mile out of my way. The address is not similar to mine at all. Was this driver just trying to save time? No way was it a "mistake" in addresses. This is why our packages don't arrive, lol! 

Janet, are you at beautiful Lake George again?

Most recliners online ship in two boxes. Easier for companies to ship. Fed Ex tracking says delivery is today between 11 and 3. Greg will be here tomorrow to put it together. There are metal clips on the sides and back and it slides right in, but it's too heavy for me to lift. I doubt you would get a La-z-boy like this, but I didn't pay the La-z-boy price, lol! 

Trish, Billy was a picky eater. Gary is as well. He wouldn't eat this soup because it has tomatoes in it, lol. This made a lot of soup. I will need to freeze a lot of it in individual containers.

Looking forward to Carter's party! Hope everyone has a great weekend. 

LINDA IS BUSY, BUSY WITH HER DH'S BIRTHDAY DO.  LOTS OF COMPANY.  LOTS OF FOOD.  LOTS OF CELEBRATING FOR HIS 89TH BIRTHDAY.  SHE WILL NOT BE CHECKING IN FOR A FEW DAYS.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARRELL.
