Hello Everyfriend...or at least the ones who are still hanging around.  I got a lot done today but I still have some stuff to take care of. 

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one! (Even the ones who aren't coming by any more!)

Hi Everyone!

For me it is always a good day when
I go to the doctors and come
home with a smile on my  face!

I can't complain,  I am doing well and
hope others are too!! 

We are having nice weather here.  I only
have to use my AC occasionally.   We are  lucky
here on the rocky coast of Maine.  So far,  so good!
But we are getting smoke from the fires
in Canada..   So Sad!

 
Sandy

Nice to see you are doing well, Sandy. I'm waiting for one last dryer load to fold & I am off to bed. It will be cooler late tonight but still at 81 degrees right now.

Good night and sweet dreams. Love y'all......Tisie/Shirley

Goodnight Shirley, and everyone else. Thanks for the dryer reminder.

Good morning...

Not much rain came so the sprinkler is on in the garden for a bit.

Daily duties call after we pick up meds and a few things in town.

Shirley, I forgot the rabbit that scampered across the road and yes nice to see all these critters.

Sandy, that would certainly put a smile on ones face. Good news is always welcomed.

Better get going.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  Cooper is here and we've had a walk and watered all the plants, ate breakfast and I just finished my second cup of coffee.

SANDY, so nice to see you posting and my congrats on your good news!

AMY, have a good day and watch out for the animals when you're driving!

I wish Everyfriend a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Good Night, JaneS and anyone else who peeks in to the Soda Shoppe!

I'm here to turn out the lights again. Sweet dreams and God Bless. Thanks to everyone that comes to tell about their day, sure brightens MY days. Super hot here & was windy so hope tomorrow to open the slide & awning on the motorhome to drain off water that gathered. I try to run the generator once a month at the same time, an excuse to play with the big toy.
I do have my last visit with the home health nurse tomorrow. They have done their jobs. As Lloyd says, "hope to see you tomorrow". The days are still more pleasure than misery so I am grateful for that. Love y'all.  Tisie/Shirley

Good morning..

Another lovely day  in the making. So far no rain and it is much needed.

Dust kangaroos to gather and washing floors are foremost on the to do list.
I did pick out the material to start a new quilt yesterday, so incentive to get the work done first.

Managed to relocate all the items from one purse and a wallet into another purse and wallet. Now I can play hide and seek when I need to get something out of either one till I am used to them.

Just remembered I have two racks of ribs to slow cook then vacuum seal for the freezer. Quick meals when needed.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning, another humid rainy day today and for tomorrow. Everything is grey and foggy outside.

Yesterday, I went out for the coffee and filters I'd forgotten on the third and still forgot the bread I'd had on the list.

I met up briefly with others who had also forgotten items and we had coffee and croissants at McCafferty's. Fred ruined our sophisticated vibe by having a jelly donut and a newspaper. He said in his defense, he liked jelly donuts and if a man had to sit at a table with his wife and her girlfriends, he was going to need a paper.

Afterward I came home and spent the rest of the day mailing out bills and spent an enormous time on the cell waiting to speak to humans about certain irregularities.

Today will be spent continuing to revamp my computer storage and plowing through my email.

Managed to relocate all the items from one purse and a wallet into another purse and wallet. Now I can play hide and seek when I need to get something out of either one till I am used to them.

Amy, I have been procrastinating on your above chore for nearly a year.  Don't know why it seems such a big chore, it could probably be done in 30 minutes, but I have done this with almost every wallet/purse I've ever gotten (rid of) LOL. So, maybe later today (since it's too darn hot to get out of the house) I'll embark upon Operation Switchout! Hope you all have a lovely, productive day.  I know YOU will, Amy, as you never seem to sit still for a minute!

Amy, I  make it easy on myself...I change my purse and never throw the old one away. So, I have a closet full of purses that I am always going to use again  but never do.    I am a little bit of a hoarder, I think.

Rain today but we need it so not complaining.

This is so true!

Here I am to wish Everyfriend a good night!  It's been a good day.  I got a lot of things done but I'm sure no one is really interested in what I did all day.  So I'll just say it was a busy day. 

Tomorrow will be another Cooper day and I also have an eye appointement in the afternoon!.  Made a new casserole today and it was good!

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!

Jane, we're interested.

Good morning..

Still no rain,  may get some by the weekend. Will pick up new sealer gaskets for the IP. Patricia gave me the heads up on this information and then I got this from Simply Recipes.

Tome, did you get that nasty job done?? This purse has 6 zippered compartments and each has certain items in them.......now to remember. I sit in the evening watching tv with a 99 lb dog on my lap.

Phyllis, I also keep purses if they are favourites. Some that are broke (unrepairable) are throw out after I remove items that I can use zippers etc.

Jane, hope you got good news at the eye Dr. and yes inquiring minds want ot know please!!I am trying out a new recipe for blueberry muffins later today...if good will post the recipe.

Patricia, I am getting two packages of the rings today, one for us and one for Bri.I could be cheeky and say write a list but if you're like me will leave the list home!! Just remembered Bri writes her list in her phone as she always has it on her. I should do that also but don't always have my phone charged.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

 

Good Morning Everyfriend!  And a "Very Early" good morning to you, PATRICIA!

Cooper has arrived, had his breakfast and is waiting for his first walk of the day.  I have to get dressed to do that!  I also have to strip the bed and get it ready for summer!  Then I have to prepare for a coffee delivery.  My DIL works at the local Starbucks and when I'm getting low and she has a freebie coming up and they don't need it, I get it!  Today's the day!

I texted her that she can pass on it today if she needs to because I just heard that her stepfather passed away.  We've all been expecting it but it's still a bit of a shock!  And I'm sure her Mom will be happy to have her nearby!

I'm off to do some chores and then get ready for an eye dr. appointment this afternoon!  Dinner's already in the fridge...left over casserole!

AMY, you beat me here!  I keep my shopping list on my phone too!  And the phone is always with me...unless I forget it!

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Good morning; today's the summer solstice, the longest day of the year with almost guaranteed 24/7 daylight, and it's cloudy and rainy out. I'm sure folks will still party with store sales, street fairs, music at different parks, garden walks, antique automotive trips, and shows as well.

I haven't heard if the baseball game played with no artificial lights and beginning at midnight or the golf game, also beginning at midnight, are still on or if the thousand-mile, three-crewed boat race beginning, is still on or not as Covid had silenced them in past years. With the rivers' still running high and with flooding and sweepers; I know that the race isn't on.

I know that the meet and greets aren't planning anything; most have moved into city apartments without yards, and have no energy for the parties we were used to. And the rain doesn't help.

This is what the city organizers say about it, " Here, the sun dips below the horizon at around 12:48 am, rising shortly after at 2:48, with a rosy glow of twilight in between. More than 30,000 people pack downtown for twelve hours of fun under the midnight Alaskan sun! Alaska's biggest one-day event showcases live performances throughout the day to keep festival visitors entertained. Food + Shopping booths offering locally made goods and delicious food selections will line our downtown streets. This is an amazing FREE event to experience the best of the midnight sun and the best of beautiful Fairbanks rolled into one special day."

We can't wait to see you in beautiful Downtown Fairbanks for the 41st Midnight Sun Festival!

1st and 2nd Avenues will be closed to vehicular traffic. 

1st Avenue will be programmed with community activities; 2nd Avenue will be the familiar street fair with food trucks, shopping, vendors, crafts and live entertainment."

The midnight sun baseball game was played under no artificial lights and, beginning at midnight, had an amazing pre-Covid 116-year run.

Newspaper EDIT: "Fairbanks hosts one of the best summer solstice celebrations in Alaska on summer solstice weekend, when the midnight sun shines all night long. This free 12-hour event includes a downtown street fair with arts, crafts, food, live music, and entertainment.
If you're around on the actual summer solstice – June 21 - don't miss the Midnight Sun Baseball Game, starting at 10:00pm on solstice evening. Watch the Alaska Goldpanners play an entire game under the midnight sun without the use of artificial light. "

Amy, no, still procrastinating, well, not really.  I got involved in some paperwork and next thing I knew, it was 11:00.

My new purse has four zippered compartments, with some separate compartments in the zippered parts.  The wallet has 3 zippered compartments, a snap closure (looks like for a phone) and those other separate places for whatever...I have a travel-sized Kleenex tissue packet already in one of them.  I think I did carry the wallet when a friend and I went to some kind of to-do, and I didnt want to carry my tatty old wallet!

I do have several purses that have been utilized, but are still in good shape if I want to carry one again.  I have one that is big enough to hold a tablet or laptop.  I also have a special purse, which doesn't go with almost anything I wear, (it is bright red) and is a "Coach" brand, which I got at a yard sale for $2.00. Can you believe a Coach for $2.00?  Actually, while I'm sitting here typing, I realize I do have a new pair of red shoes, which would go well.  With black trousers, a red blouse would be nice, but I don't have one of those! Browns, beiges, purples, navy.  You can tell I don't do a lot of "shopping".  Most of my stuff is from years ago when I worked in an office.  Hey, I still fit in most of them!  Haven't gained a lot of weight, but have experienced the old "gravity shift", making the pants the item that gets sent to Goodwill more often. 

Good Night Everyfriend!  I got a lot done today and I'm kind of tired!  I'm off to the haystack!  Sleep well!

Goodnight, Jane; sleep well, and we'll see you in the morning.

I gave several styles of black purses away this last decluttering time, but I kept some of my favorites. I always return to a reddish-brown backpack style that's easy to throw over one shoulder. And yes, it has many zippered pouches and pockets with a principal security one to wear on the inside-facing outward side.

The wallet is navy enveloped with room for several cards and separate pockets for cash, change, coupons, and receipts. I always go back to these two, no matter the newer styles.

The heavy rains returned about three, and I saw the various parking lots had emptied, and the crowds had gone home. Do they cancel the baseball game or play in the rain? It's 74 at 7:18, and I need to do some chores as they left another water shutoff notice for tomorrow between 9 am and 1 pm. This is the third since mid-May which isn't promising.

Here's hoping everyone has a good evening, and hopefully, I'll see everyone in your afternoon and my morning.

Good Morning Everyfriend...except PATRICIA!  Good AFTERNOON, PATRICIA!

I went out last evening and dragged out the hose and watered everything just as it was getting dark.  This morning it's raining...a nice soft, gentle rain!  I guess I'll leave the hose in the box today.  But I'll still have to go out and walk in it because Cooper will be here around6:45 and he takes his two walks no matter what the weather is!

Cathy said she might be going to Wenger's today (that's the major Amish grocery store) and asked if I wanted to go along.  She's going to let me know today when she reaches her final decision.  I've decided that if she goes, I'm going!  I have a couple things on my list that I can get there and just being with Cathy is one of my better days!

I've had my breakfast and I'm ready to feed Cooper when he gets here but I'm not dressed yet.  So I better think about that!

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Good morning...

No rain in sight till Sunday here. Garden is coming along but a nice gentle rain would help it.

Didn't get the baking done yesterday so today is the day. Managed to vacuum seal bbq ribs for  the freezer though.

Tome,I can understand that! I have a job ahead of me and really not looking forward to it but it does need to be done, not one I can put off much longer.

Patricia, I have a photo that was taken 10:45 pm in the Yukon and it is as bright as 10:45 am!

Jane, enjoy your shopping trip.

Shirley, hope all is well there ,Phyllis, Lloyd ,Rick and Jenny too!

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning all.  Drizzle now, and prediction for a week of rain.  Remember that old "Morton's" slogan ----- When it rains, it pours,

I did get out to open the RV & put the awning out to dry, ran the generator for a short while just to say I did.    Going to dump the dishwater, always start with fresh soapy water in the morning & do them as we use them. Since I usually get 3 hours a hitch of sleep, I'm really going to confuse Fitbit tonight!

One kind of the lettuce is big enough to pick leaves off, but was hoping for a variety for the first bowl of wilted lettuce. Will take a closer look tomorrow.

Sweet dreams and God Bless, love y'all. Thanks for being here to visit today!  Tisie/Shirley

I'm off to the haystack!  I made a mistake about the eye appt.  it's not until next week but Cathy and I made a trip to Wengers and I got a lot done around the house!

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow.  And may God bless us, every one!

SHIRLEY, it sounds like you got some "stuff" done, too!

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I woke up early this morning and I couldn't go back to sleep so I got up.  I've had my coffee and my breakfast and I'm ready for Cooper's arrival!  I suspect that the haystack will call me for a nap at some point today and I'll join Cooper on the sofa!

It's supposed to get into the low 70s today with a light rain beginning around 1 and lasting most of the day.  So I guess the hose will stay in the box today!

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Good morning...

Overcast here this morning but no mention of rain. They say by the weekend we will get some,  I am going to replant my parsnips today and hope we do get a gentle rain. They take about 100 days to mature,  really hope these seeds are better.

Have to pick up fluorescent lights and replace those that are not working, one job out of the way.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

 

Amy, didn't cross my mind that the reason some of the lettuce/spinach didn't come up was the seed not any good!  Duh.....  I plan to go out today (plans-plans) & pick enough of the larger leaves to make a salad, don't think it will still be tender by time Andy gets back from CO next week.

It is a scorcher today, shocking when I remember this is still JUNE and the hot months are July & August! But I also remember back in 1954 when it was 118 degrees and nobody had any air conditioning! I worked in a 280' concrete block building, concrete floor & we actually wore heels & hose to work.

Hope everyone finds a joy in this day, even if just a short time.
