I thought going out late yesterday on my outing, the stores would be less crowded. I was wrong! Have never seen so many people in Ross for less I had to wait 30 minutes in line to check out. I found some nice Goody hair brushes for Sadie Grace for Christmas… In pink of course the cashier said they were so crowded because people are shopping for school clothes. The 2027 journals are out, so I got a really nice one, so it wasn’t a wasted trip. I also found a planter to put my fake olive tree in.  I might ruin it, but going to try to cut it down from 7 ft. to 5 ft.

I went in Home Goods  to look for a small lamp. They do n’t sell touch lamps with USB ports, so I left. I want one with  the USB port so I can charge my hearing aids.

I had a good loss this morning, so I’m a happy camper! Maybe next week I will be at my next goal if I behave, I am back on intermittent fasting and not cheating, lol. 😀

Judy, that is funny about the pizzas. It just shows how much you know each other.

I got a lot done today! Got up and exercised. Got two things ready for mailing. Made a to do list so I don’t forget things. We had a bunch of clothes and kitchen things to donate, and we have a new thrift store in town who is taking donations that she will then sell, so we dropped those off, with a bunch of blue Walmart bags. Then we went to IHOP for brunch. Got my Walmart order started. Texted with my brother and the man I call my third brother, and my girls. 

Yesterday my baby turned 43, and it was also her 12th anniversary! 

MANGLED MODIFIERS.......

Linda, your remembrances are always a pleasure to read.  Always sounds like you had a lovely childhood.  And you and your sister are such good friends.  Another blessing...

Having no siblings, I still have been blessed with good friendships.  Sadly, seven of my eight girl classmates and many other friends have all passed except for the one classmate who lives a bit away from here.  I have my close friends, Bobbie and Cheryl, nearby, Mary Leigh all the time, and the bonus?  All of you, for what? over 20 years, now and just a keyboard away at any time.    

QB, I looked at your blog and the casserole recipe.  It looks easy and good.  Right down my alley, now.  Thank you.  It doesn't really matter who come up with the ideas, it's the fact that you all don't just sit in your respective apts., alone, but get together, share and help one another.  AND, we get to hear about it! 

Cheryl, thanks for keeping us up on Dean's progress.    Our friend, Jeff, when his dx was pancreatic cancer was able to get into Cleaveland Clinic and with their help got his on-going treatment at M.D. Anderson in Houston and he's doing well.  Was recently accepted into a trial with a new CA drug of which there was only a 50% chance.   Anyway, glad that you and Dean can still do some of the things you've always done. 

Howard got another small electric hand mower for the slope between our property and the neighbors fence.  And...he can't get it to start. Is tearing his non-existent hair out trying to return it, since he's done everthing he can.  I thought he should just let it grow up, as he can't mow it with the his new riding mower.  (too unstable and tippy). It would hardly be noticeable, as their back yard is a jungle.  But he won't do that.        

Here's tip from Heloise's daily column:  A doctor's advise for itching insect bites is to put a compress of hot water, as hot at you can stand on it.  The person said it increases the itching terribly, but after that her bites don't itch anymore.  She's done this for years, successfully.
My current bites are past that point but I'm going to try it on any new ones I get.  

It's suppose to rain here this afternoon, but so far, it's sunny, hot and humid-- typical mid summertime. 
Have a good day and sweet dreams.  Indy
