Good morning Peggy Sue & ATF,
Cloudy today. Rain expected later in the day. Currently 75; the high will be 82.
Waiting for the "gang" to get here. Should arrive around 1pm. Will be fun but not totally because HE will be here too. He is not doing well since his sister passed away. Doesn't want to be alone.
Glad to hear Charlie is doing ok....poor guy!
have a great day everyone!

Penny, I would freak out if I came near a snake. Totally terrified of snakes. Hope Charlie is doing ok this morning.
Going on a little road trip this morning. DH is having a little cabin fever. Want to check out a few farmers markets and go to a cheese market we like.
Cloudy and cool here. Probably will be in the 60's most of the day. Windy too.
Emily, think I'm not in the loop. Who is "He?
Ready to go. bettyj

Good morning everyone,
We had a good time at the fair. Was not super hot and had a breeze. Walked 3 miles. This fair is not real big like the LA Fair near our house. That one is in September. This one is near the beach.
Missing WW again this week. That's 2 in a row. I just don't feel like getting ready and going. I would have to leave in an hour and just woke up a little bit ago. Looks like I maintained on my scale. So doing ok. Will definitely go next week.
I do need to go grocery shopping later today.
Going to be 97 today with 70% humidity. This is the second super humid summer. Miserable.
Penny- scary about the snake. Hope Charlie is doing ok today.
Betty- you mentioned Gatoraid at your house. Is there a low sugar version? Mine seems to have a lot of sugar.
Lin- amazing how hot there. Great news about dermatologist.
Phyl- glad back is feeling better.

Oh goodness, I am so sorry about Charlie but I too, would be freaking out. Hate snakes with a passion. glad I don't live in an area where there are any. Never even see a little garter snake. thank goodness.
I really slept sound last night and woke up groggy like I had taken a sleeping pill. Took a while to wake up. Still moving a bit slow. did make some phone calls and did some bill pay on computer, checked it twice to be sure it is okay. Tried to make a service call to my credit card company but forget that. Long wait.
It is really nice today, temps in low 80's but not there yet and humidity down. A bit over cast so not a day I like to be at pool. Did think about going as I have nothing planned until dinner out with DGD tonight. I am trying to be careful with my choices eating out this week. Seems like all came at one week. I have lost weight this summer and am excited about that. Clothes fitting much better and hoping it continues. Haven't had any cook outs and that has helped and the good salads at our places have also helped. Dr will call or send letter about my blood work, but did check it on line and don't understand most of it but it does look pretty good.

Funny Amazon delivery story. I knew the truck was close so went outside. The the truck was a white van and a man was walking toward it. I asked if he was Amazon delivery and he said yes. I asked where my package was, it was next door. I'm glad I caught him because my neighbor just had hip replacement surgery and never goes out the front door. He apologized and retrieved the package.
I need new numbers for my mailbox, the neighborhood kids destroyed the old ones.
Happy hour with friends today, always a good time.

Hello all!
Better late than never! Cleaning lady called – she had an appointment with her daughter’s school board, so she was going to be late. Daughter is in 10th grade and had bullying issues at school – so much so that she was cutting herself to compensate. I’ve met her, she’s a cute kid and deserves better. School system is trying to move her to a smaller school in another town where she can get a better school environment. Lots of meetings, so Miriam’s head is spinning. So cleaning day got delayed and the appliance store is coming later this afternoon to deliver new machine. I can’t wait as the laundry is really starting to pile up.
Penny can’t believe what happened to Charlie and I’d be right there with DH. I hope he is feeling better today and the swelling has gone down a bit. Are there a lot of snakes, Penny? I don’t think I could handle that myself. How’d you identify the snake? Are you knowledgeable about them, or did you take a picture and take it with you to the vet? Are all rattlers poisonous?
Geri, we’ve had some problems with the white vans from Amazon in our area. They were caught doing recognizance for some auto thieves . In fact my SIL saw them actually use some gizmo to electronically open her car in their driveway. Freaky!
Lin good news from the dermatologist. You’ve hit the gamut of doctor offices lately. I would be so done with all of them by this point.
Emily hoping you have a great time with the boys today. Hoping HE finds somewhere else to hang out too.
I’m making a cucumber salad with my first crop off the deck. The recipe calls for salting the cukes and letting them sweat. I never knew cucumbers had that much fluid in them. They’ve been sitting in a bowl with a tsp of salt and there must be ¾ cup of liquid in there. After they sweat you make a dressing of white vinegar, water and sugar( I’m going to use truvia) heat it for 3-5 minutes and combine with the cukes, red onion and fresh dill. When I saw the recipe it reminded me of a cucumber salad we used to get in the deli section of our local grocery store growing up as kids. Lets see if my memory is as good as the reality of the present.
Well need to get back to my salad.
Everyone enjoy the remainder of their day!
Dayle

BettyJ - HE is my SIL. I don't like him. While I was watching the boys, birth to Kindergarten, he was abusive verbally to me on a few occasions. So I resent when he comes to my house with DD & the boys when it involves sleepovers.

Omg! Penny, so lucky he is ok after a rattler bite. I don't mind garter snakes that much or the AZ variety which I sat on once while it was under the grass (poor guy could really move), but bigger with stripes? Nope.
Amazon white trucks breaking into parked cars? Wow!
Geri we have numbers painted right in the front curb so ambulances, etc can find us in dark easily. You can make a white rectangle and use black paint with stencils ...people come around once in a while to do it for ten $. When they need money.
“only” 110 predicted.
Went to Mama MIA 2. ....more like a musical review if leftover ABBA songs after Donna's death and revival of the hotel. The daughter with thin sweet voice is ok on songs, but...the actors for all the characters when younger were good. Cher did not do much. She also does not move much to music...72 now. Best parts were Christening scene where they put Streep back in and last number that started credits with lots of people performing. Not your movie unless you love ABBA.

good afternoon, penny happy charlie will be ok. I see a sneak I run in the opposite direction. don't care what kind it is.at a zoo I will go past The glass House snakes as fast as I can.
my low back is some what better. able to move around more.trying to stay of tylenol today.
spent a little time in my playpen today.felt good to be sewing again.
we bought a new dishwasher today. maytag. bob salesman was telling us not to rinse dishes before putting them in the new ones. he says when we do that the soaps do not adare to get the dirt off. also they have made them a little more room in between the bottom shelf and top shelf.
we took some cereal bowls with us and tried them in the top rack to see how they fit. good. also I have a set of apple dishes I have had for years. the plates are a little larger then a normal set .they fit great in the bottom.
I can go back to using liquild soap.yippee.
will never buy a fiscal-paskal product again.we had to put vinegar in a place in the bottom to keep it from smelling.
don has torn the old one out and will put the new one in , probably today yet. he took the old to the store and they will haul it away free.
I did look at the new speed queen washers and dryers. I will probably get a speed queen again.our first set was speed queen and lasted about 20 years.
now we have the maytag neptune set. cannot complain about that set.
I thought speed queen had quit making the product. bob said no they went just went into making commercials ones for laundermats.
speed queen is made in rippon wisconsin.PHYL

Bought the Speed Queen washer couple years ago..heavy! Not flimsy and ten year warranty. Simple to use...loud on first rinse spin. Thousands like it on Amazon.
