Have a great week, ladies! 🤗

Everyone is doing as well as can be expected.  We've had no memorial services yet, but they are being planned.

Maybe I mentioned it already, I can't remember, but I've been sick since last weekend, so I'm grateful that I haven't had to miss anything.

It hit me hard and fast, and DH got sick a few days before me. I hope it will be through with us soon. 👍🏻🥳

Indy, I'm sorry about Fancy!

I'm off to bed.  It's about 12:20am here. 

A woman and her husband stop at a dentist’s office. “I need a tooth pulled right away,” 
she says. “Don’t bother with the Novocain; we’re in a hurry.” “Which tooth do 
you want pulled?” asks the dentist. The woman shoves her husband toward the dentist. “Go ahead, dear. Show him your tooth.”

WE ARE EXPECTING 70S ALL WEEK AND SUNSHINE.  IT COULDN'T BE ANY BETTER.

DIANE......YES YOU MENTIONED IT AND I HAD HOPED YOU WERE BETTER BY NOW.  SORRY ITS LASTING A BIT TOO LONG.  GET WELL SOON.

LINDA.......YOU HAVE HAD A BUSY TIME OF IT.  SORRY DH IS GOING THAT ROUTE AND YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT DAILY.  I KNOW ITS WORRYING.  AT LEAST YOU HAVE SOME FINE COMPANY FOR A FEW DAYS AND CAN ENJOY YOURSELF.  I KNOW THEY PARTY WAS A SUCCESS.

MY DAY OF REST EXCEPT FOR BAGGING MY MEATS FOR THE FREEZER TODAY.  MY SON SHOPPED AND TOOK HOME FOOD PER USUAL BUT HE WAS IN A HURRY.  THINGS TO DO AND A PARTY AT 4 SO HE RUSHED.  A NIECE IS HAVING A BABY AT 42 AND CELEBRATING THE EVENT.  
WILL CHECK IN TOMORROW PER USUAL.  I HAVE FOOD TO EAT AS LEFTOVERS SO NO WORRIES FOR ME.  FOOD, GOOD BOOKS, AND TV.  WHAT MORE COULD I WANT.  HUG TO ALL, QB S

Hope everyone had a beautiful weekend. The cooler weather was so nice!

Linda, so sorry about Darrell. I guess we will all get there as we get older. Hugs for you....know it's hard for you. 

Greg came and put my recliner together, hung some drapes for me, hung some pictures and put the ladder in the garage. I know he makes good money, but he also has a mortgage, bills and child support every month. I gave him $50, but he didn't want to take it, saying I'm his Mom and I don't have to pay him to help me. I told him to use it for their upcoming trip to Universal. $50 is like $20 these days...it's nothing.

I love my recliner and the dark brown color. It's very comfortable and it does lay all the way flat. The only thing I don't like about it is I wish the foot rest was longer, but I find that to be a problem with most recliners .

Trish, your temp quilt sounds really interesting. Looking forward to seeing pictures. 

Today is the consultation with my doctor at the breast center and I will know the results of the biopsy. 

It has been a miserably hot summer here in Georgia, one of the worse I can remember, even just walking in the stores. The cooler days are a blessing! I understand those further north who aren't looking forward to the winter because of the snow. We do get colder weather here too in the South, just rarely no snow. I remember in 2014 when we had "Snowmageddon." No one was expecting it and people were stranded, trying to get home from work. The interstates were parking lots. There were people sleeping in the aisles at Walgreens. Georgia is not a state equipped with snow plows, but this turned into ice which made it much worse. In 1993, we had a "big" snow. Atlanta got 4 inches and Savannah, way down south, even got snow! We were still living in our first house then. It does and can happen here.

I am a happy Mom now with all the things Greg did for me. I wanted to move some pictures to other locations and he gladly did it. Gary helps too, I just don't ask him to do much. 

The Rav is sold.  They called this morning .  We’ll pick up the money and tags when we get back home.  Sold for more than we expected.

We closed all the windows last night, it was in the low 50’s! The leaves are turning already. 
I got up this morning, did 1.5 miles on the bike, then made us scrambled eggs. I had leftover hash browns, so I heated them first, and poured the eggs over them, and made sort of an omelette. 

Eddie has his first nursing clinical class today. And he’s working part time as ER transport at a different hospital, and likes it a lot. 
Trish, see if you get Kay Bratt on your kindle unlimited, she does a series called Hart’s Ridge. I love KU. 
Devonne, grown kids and grandkids come in handy for moving things around and hanging things! 

Devonne, sending lots of positive thoughts and prayers for your lumpectomy.  I admire your positive spirit!  My friend had a lumpectomy a few years ago.  She had some soreness afterwards but it was not too severe.

Holly, I just downloaded the Charlie Donlea book, Long Time Gone, that you recommended.  Going to start it tonight. 

Dean's brother is back in the hospital, but we got them mostly moved into their son's home.  SIL, Janis, is looking forward to the move and getting rid of the huge yard and the house.  They are having an auction company give them quotes for whole house tag sale.  They may have the auction also sell the home or they may list it.  Houses go so fast here and I think they should sell it outright.  They have a three bedroom "split ranch" type home but they have almost an acre of land in a pretty rural setting.  A lovely back yard with a large shed.  It will sell easily.  Bill is still not real happy but that is understandable.

We had a great time watching our Andrew run  his race.  He had a personal best time, so he was happy.  He knew going in that he would not place high since he is in 8th grade running with high schoolers but he was just so happy to be invited to run with them.

The weather is lovely today and no rain in the forecast for the next week.  We are in a semi drought so I feel for the farmers, but I like it.  

I made some homemade taco seasoning and made some taco meat for tacos or taco salad.  I usually buy the little packets but decided to try my own.  It was a little too spicy and not enough salt but I will adjust the spices next time.  We are used to those salty packets.    I had all the necessary spices so it was easy to put together.

Nothing else worth mentioning here.  Have a good evening.

Cheryl, we just had taco salads a few days ago using the Lawry's Taco Seasoning I prefer, and I was thinking I should try making my own.  It's so expensive compared to what it used to cost and I probably have everything for it.  I finished up the leftovers today for lunch.  Love, love, love taco salads.  Congrats to your Andrew.  That is quite the compliment to be asked as an 8th grader.  I'm sure he was tickled you and Dean were there, too.  Thanks...about Fancy.

Trish, I know where did the years go?  Silly question...WE feel them, don't we?  I DID get to see Andrew.  It was rainy so he and his friends didn't go to the Popcorn Fest, they got together at one of their houses in the evening.  So, ML called and told me I could come over in the afternoon.  He helped me understand more of the workings of my new phone, and I got to hear, from him, how his job-changing plans are going.  Driving home, I had a good warm/fuzzy feeling--so grateful for these special unplanned times to be with him.  They always spoil me with special foods they have and teas, too.  He has a video interview tomorrow with the accounting firm he most wants to work for. 

Linda, congrats to Darrell for his birthday.  If it was a surprise, no wonder he was a bit confused.  You and I  might be, too.  Wed. evening, We're going to the 98th birthday dinner of a friend.  His daughters are treating us all (about 30, I was told) at an expensive steak house.  They're out of our economic strata, but I was also told, they can afford it.  So...OKAY...  No gifts, they've said, but sometimes that's more fun when you can bring anything that you want.  Since he's of Swedish extraction and loves pickled herring, that's what we're giving him, a jar of pickled herring and a b.d. card.    Thanks, also about Fancy...

Devonne, I'm so sorry but so glad your doctor has pursued this when it was inconclusive, before.  You're so right, we all need to get a mammogram yearly.  And, you're putting it in the right Hands.  

I'd better go.   Have a chuck roast all cooked and keeping warm in the crockpot.  ML and Bill are leaving tomorrow for Galena, Illinois for a mini vacation with some friends and I am the recipient of several food items she wanted me to use up.  Tiny potatoes are one of those and I added them to the cr. pot.   Easy peasy.  
Have a good evening and sweet dreams.  
Indy

Good thoughts for you Devonne.
Another very cool day.

Good Morning to everyone!!  It is very foggy outside, also very still.  Not much going on today.  I'm not feeling great, my head is feeling weird, just a big foggy feeling.  Tracy called for a bit, she was already at school, found a parking spot she liked and went inside.

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