Good Morning, Y'all. Happy Friday. It's very sad about France. Unfortunately, these incidents will continue to happy while those in charge pussy foot around and refuse to name the culprits, let alone go after them. Hopefully there won't be more violence today. It's kind of the end of an era here. When I moved in, an elderly couple lived independently across the street. Today, a truck arrived to remove a lot of donations, since they've both passed. Maybe now their daughter can personalize it to her taste and make it her own. Well, hers and her 'old man's', which is what she calls her boyfriend. That always makes me smile. I'm glad at least for now, the house won't be on the market. It's another really hot day. I just put a bowlful of ice cubes out for the strays, and will replace those at least twice. I hope all of the outside animals and strays have at least water, if not cool places to escape the oppressive heat. Have a great day and stay cool!
Good morning! It is cloudy and we are hoping for rain. Today is going to be one lazy day! I don't want to break a sweat doing anything today. I am officially off the clock.
Good morning, Everyone! I'm getting a very early start to my Saturday and I'll be heading out for groceries before 5:30. Gonna be in the 90s again today so getting my errands done early is a good thing. It's shaping up to be a very hectic weekend so I wanted to check in here first in case I can't get back for a day or two. I have to deal with the builders for one thing...it was kind of surprising that they didn't know what a simple thing like "I need the spouting replaced when you're finished building that structure"... somehow they intended to put spouting ON the carport roof which would have been a disaster but we caught it in time. Does make me think we need to watch them a little more closely, though. And then plan a baby shower today, too. My week was pretty much shot, so I have a lot of work to catch up on in addition to the housework that was put off. (Unless @Corie Henson wants to send me one of her housemaids? Nah, didn't think so.) *IF* I get my work done (probably 10-12 hours worth) I may consider rounding up the family for some fun in the sun, but that's up in the air at this point. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
Good morning. Has anyone heard from Julie Stewart, since the tragedy in France? I have not seen her posts lately. I hope she was not in the area of the parade route. UPDATE: I heard from her, and they are both OK. What good news!
Mornin'. Starting out to be a really nice Saturday. Cool temps here, clear skies, gonna be a great day to get yourself maimed, killed or arrested playing that new game craze, 'pokemon'. I would've used a day like this fishing or hitting the yard sales or auctions, but that's just me. Bad news from Europe. First France, then Turkey. I just heard on FOX news that a lot of soldiers and policemen that took part on the failed side, are fleeing Turkey. Too bad the coup failed. Well, I'm about ready for a big, delicious bowl of corn flakes for breakfast. I remember the days when I could still have a real breakfast. Back then I worked hard and burnt off all the calories and alcohol I consumed. When the hard work ended, the diabetes and other ailments showed up. In the next life, I'll know better how to live. Fell asleep at 8pm last night. Woke at 10pm. I hate it when that happens. Took a long time to doze off again. well, gotta grab a quick bite and get going. Somewhere out there is a liberal I need to P O. Have a great weekend, preferably one that don't involve jail.
I woke up early to join the sendoff for my nephew. He is assigned work in the province as tradeoff for his promotion to supervisory level and a substantial salary increase. We were in the airport for the 7:30am flight which was delayed and the plane left a few minutes before 11 am. It's both a sad and happy occasion. Another excitement is the birthday of our dog Tisoy, he is now 9 years old. We will have the usual cake with candle and pictorial. I will be posting pics later.
Good Morning, Y'all. I'm glad you heard from her @Joe Riley, I meant to look and see if she'd posted. Glad to hear she's o.k. Happy Saturday! We had an intense downpour for a while yesterday, so I don't need to water anything today. it's hot, but not as hot as it's going to get, so I might take the cats out for a few minutes before it gets too bad. Hope everyone has a great day!
Haha @ woofles @Joe Riley that's a cute one. I love the animal pictures, they always make me smile, and that goes for you, too, @Patsy Faye. Good Morning, y'all, happy Sunday. It's another sunny day here. The birds are chirping off in the distance, although I could hear a chipping sparrow and a cardinal right outside my bedroom window earlier. Hope y'all have a fun/relaxing day.
Good morning everyone! It is gonna be another hot one here in Central VA. The weather people said last night even though the temperature is higher, the air will feel better as the humidity is going down. I certainly hope so..because yesterday was disgusting. I have to try to get grass cut today, as last night when I was going to there was a big storm! We had the ususal Hell breaking loose and internet and TV loss. Happens hmmm maybe, 2x a week in the summer here! I am trying to track down my cousin on Facebook as we are planning my parent's 60th wedding anniversary.
Thanks Patsy Faye. I am looking forward to it, because I really haven't gone anywhere or done anything this summer, and it will be great to have a change of pace, plus it should be fun celebrating the anniversary. 60 years,,,wow, long time. They aren't the happiest couple, but they certainly are devoted, so that is something!
