Hello all!

We had tornado warnings all around us night before last.  We did lose power once again for 16 hours.  I told Dean not to bother with the generator because as soon as he gets it ready, the lights come back on.  He slept in a recliner chair all night so he could check on the sump pump.  That is our main worry with the hard rain and not electricity; the sump pump over flows and the basement floods.  Thank goodness that did not happen and the rain tapered off to a drizzle.  Lots of lightening and very high wind.  I thought all was well afterward, but darn it, it got my desk top computer.  Fried the power source.  My amazing hubby can fix anything and he was able to put a new one in today.  It works great.  I did not want to start over with a new computer.  I did write down how to get on this site in case it happens again.  Could not get on for a couple days.

I don't have any dresses in my closet either.  Last time I wore one was Anthony's wedding in 2005.  I do have a long black skirt still hanging there, but I have not worn it either for a long, long time.  

I have never named a sewing machine or car either.  Amelia calls her dad's red Toyota Sienna van Princess.    He has it for sale since he bought the Rav4 but so far, no takers for it.  It does have high mileage, but Toyota's run forever.

Holly, I finished the "Someone we know" book by Shari Lapena.  It was good, but not like the other one.

Trish, beautiful picture of the Gold Coast!  Glad to hear the Mr. had a great time.

Going to make some baked cod for supper, so I guess I should go get it ready.  Aaron asked for some Orange Roughy with orange sauce the other day.  Geeze, I have not made that for years.  He said it is the only fish he remembers liking. 

Sandra, your Iris door hanger is pretty.  I love irises but I have no luck growing them.  Keep us posted on those water lotuses.  Sounds interesting for sure.

I do have a couple of dresses to wear out  if there's an occasion and several non-pants  that I wear around here in the summer.   The one I wear most is my muu muu if that's considered a dress.  Since the current fashion is to go bare legged, my two are rather maxi-s since my legs are not presentable for baring. 

Like you, Mary Lou, my organizing  of the spare room is very slow going. My back gives out quickly.   Your outing sounded very nice.   The thing that freaks me is paying at the table on one of those machines.  So far, I haven't had to do it. 

QB, I meant to say Siberian irises not German.  Glad you clarified that.    

Cheryl, we've had pouring rains the past two days and hail, yesterday.  It wasn't too big and didn't last long.  Still a bit alarming, especially here in the sunroom with a flat roof.  Glad Dean has your computer up and running again.  

Going...have some leftover country pork ribs and broth from cooking it to turn into pork stew for supper.  I didn't add any BBQ sauce while it was cooking in the crockpot so I think it will adapt to that.

Have a good evening...
Indy

Had dinner,  and back to post the pic of the =19.5pxhexies. Darn things are only 3/4", and sewing them makes my fingers sore. Not really good with the stitches, but they will do LOL

 

FROM READER'S DIGEST.......
AN 85-YR-OLD IS PLAYING GOLF WITH THE COURSE PRO WHO OFFERS HIM A 12-STROKE HANDICAP.
"I DON'T NEED A HANDICAP." HE SAYS.  "THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE IS GETTING OUT OF SAND TRAPS."
AS THEY APPROACHED THE 18TH HOLE, THEY'RE EVEN.  BUT THEN THE OLD MAN HITS A LONG DRIVE, WHICH LANDS IN A SAND TRAP.  FROM THERE, HE KNOCKS IT OUT, AND IT ROLLS RIGHT INTO THE HOLE.
THE PRO IS STUNNED.  "I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU HAVE A PROBLEM GETTING OUT OF SAND TRAPS."
"I DO," SAID THE OCTOGENARIAN.  "GIVE ME A HAND."

GOSH, ITS LOVELLY OUT.  WILL HIT 80 TODAY.   EXPECTING 90 TOMORROW.  THAT'S TOO HIGH FOR ME.  

TRISH......LOVE THE HEXIES.  I ENJOYED MAKING THEM BUT PUTTING THEM TOGETHER WAS A BIT MORE DIFFICULT, FOR ME ANYWAY.

WHEN I MENTION I WEAR DRESSES EVERY DAY, I MEAN THE COMFY LOUNGERS THAT ARE KNEE-LENGTH AND WASH N DRY EASILY.  I HAVE A FEW SPECIAL DRESSIER OUTFITS FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS WHICH ARE RARE THESE DAYS.

TODAY IS VEGGIE BEEF SOUP DAY.  SON SHOPS TOMORROW.  I ALREADY HAVE MY PILLS SORTED FOR THE WEEK.  YESTERDAY I FINISHED MY JIGSAW PUZZLE SO NEED TO BEGIN A NEW ONE TODAY.  I ALSO ADDED A DRAGONFLY TO MY WH.  NOW TO FIND BORDERS TO ADD NEXT. I EVEN MANAGED TO POST PICS ON MY BLOG.

NOTHING ELSE HAPPENING HERE.  ITS THE WEEKEND.  I HAVE BEEN READING EVERY DAY AND PLAYING SOLITAIRE A FEW TIMES A DAY.  IT KEEPS ME BUSY.
WISHING YOU ALL A GREAT DAY.  ITS THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER, OUR SUMMER SOLSTICE.  ENJOY.
HUGS, QB S 

Twins!  Did I ever mention that a unit of mine had 3 sets of twin boys and then a single girl, who unfortunately died soon after birth.  The twin sets were about 2 years apart. Combined with the 3 of we were able to field our own baseball team.  lol.

No Holly, they live in Massachusetts and we're in Minnesota.😥

We're still under excessive heat watch.  I don't like all this heat! 😅
More storms coming.  In a town about 20 miles away they had baseball size hail last night.

I did nothing today but sleep and read.  Hopefully tomorrow I'll do all the things I wanted to do today.
