Happy Day All!
Yup, I went to the shelter. They have some new big dogs who are real sweethearts. The big dogs just don't get adopted - so sad. There are ten now and several have been there for years. If I didn't have Charlie...... Except for one or two, the little dogs get adopted much faster. On that side they have three of the cutest puppies. A young couple came yesterday to visit one and wondered if he would do well with their cat. So, they took the pup into a room with one of the younger cats - and they had a blast! They played and rolled around together. It was so cute! Hope they decide to take him.
Everyone sounds like they're muddling along. Was glad to hear that Lin's down to 92 with 45% humidity. What an improvement! Sure hope everyone's issues with glasses gets resolved. Before I got the lenses during cataract surgery, I had the progressive lenses and loved them. They did take some getting used to, though.
Charlie and I are out on the porch. It's about 75 with a light breeze. Love it! DH is still having horrible problems with his back. He either has to be up and walking a bit, or flat on his back with his legs raised a bit. Feel so sorry for him.
If DH feels up to it, we're going to the Tellus Museum about 45 minutes away. It's not big, but has some nice exhibits of vehicles from the Wright Brothers to space modules, rocks, fossils, and a planetarium. (Rats, I just looked and that last is closed this week. Guess we're not going until next week.) So much for that. Will look around for something else to get him off the mountain.
About time to start breakfast. Make your day a good one!

Where is everyone this morning? Penny, it must be hard to see dogs not chosen. Not sure if I could do it.
Pizza day with friends, love having it once a week. We have a great time talking and laughing.
Penny, hope DH feels better soon, poor guy.
Time for coffee, have a good day.

good morning callers,
the reasons I would not want a big dog is cleaning up the yard of big poos. also if walking a big dog I really could get pulled. heck sylvie use to pull me(schnauzer) and jeans's ruby can pull me(some type of small terrier). winter time I would not want to take a do gdon't want to fall on ice. not even sure I would want a cat in my old age if I was alone.
today I will be working more in my sewing areas. haven't got as much done as I thought I would.
Hang in there betty wednesday we are to be in the 70's. for now we are still in the 80's a little relief from the 90's.phyl

Good morning, I wouldn't be able to go to a shelter and look at the dogs. Would want every one. Always have liked big dogs but better to have a little one for all the reasons Phyl said. Ozzie can even pull me if he sees a squirrel.
Penny, hope DH back gets better. Hard to do anything when you hurt.
Hopefully glasses issue is solved. Had another refraction yesterday and they said first prescription was very wrong. New lenses ordered.
No plans for the day except farmers market later.

Everyone have an Outstanding day.

Morning All!
So sorry to hear about DH back Penny. Hope he feels better soon.
Emily I’ve been to a couple of mid-week evening weddings and they have been quite nice. Hope you have a good time. Enjoy your time with DSIS.
Gong to work in the back room today. I finished gluing all the trim, now I want to use some wood putty and smooth out some rough spots. Then I will try to stand it up and see if its level enough to stand on its own. Keep your fingers crossed. If all goes well, I will take a trip to the hardware store tomorrow to get some paint to make it look pretty!
Everyone, have a good day!

Good morning everyone,
Well....woke up late and will miss my WW meeting. I think I gained this week according to my scale. Hopefully me eating less the past few days and next week will show a loss.
Not sure yet what I want to do today. Hubby is volunteering and won't be home until 1pm. Tomorrow we are going out to lunch with friends. Was thinking about meeting a friend for lunch today but I do not want restaurant food two days in a row.
Penny- I would want to bring home the dogs. Hope hubby feels better quickly.
Emily- enjoy the wedding
Betty- you and I will be seeing the world better soon. 😀
Dayle- The painting and decorating will be very fun. Enjoy.

Sorry about his back, Penny. I swear even your toenails seem to connect to it.
Phyl, schnauzers sure do pull! Mine is tall for a mini and weighs 27 pounds.
realized I have a cold or sinus infection...so used to allergy and pollution I forget it can be a virus, but I have been really dragging last three days and last two sleeping in extra pillow....but last night the coughing kicked in until I took meds and so I just woke up! It is 10:30!

Lin- try using a Netti Pot with distilled water. Works every time for me.
Penny- cute photo.
Decided to stay home and enjoy the quiet house. Both retired does not get much alone time in the house.
Gardening won't happen today. It's hot out there. Doing some laundry. Going to spend most of the day reading or photo archiving.
Hubby is a touch nervous all the neighbors might show up to the neighborhood watch meeting at our house on the 28th. Fifty houses are in our area. In the past we had about 35-40 show up. If most show up with spouses we could have 75-100. We pray no one brings kids. We won't know how many until it starts. No RSVP is available. Shariff will be here to conduct the meeting with 2 helpers. Our house is not big. We are taking out some furniture in family room and living room and putting up 30 folding chairs. Also using 10 dining chairs and sofas. The rest will need to stand for the 1 hour meeting. Then the social time after meeting everyone can walk around and also use backyard. Serving finger foods, can sodas and bottled water. Just need napkins and plates.

hi callers, didn't get as much done as I wanted to today. was going to really work in the sewing rooms. ha. was on the computer and don wanted to know what I was going to do with the cucumbers or he would start giving them away.
so I made 3 jars of dill pickles.
hope they turn out ,was out of canning salt. so used regular salt. maybe they will just taste like cucumbers and vinegar. this recipe does have sugar in it.
then the kitchen got cleaned good. been easier to say give the cukes away.
lin just about any dog can pull me.
we will be cat sitting one more day. jeana called and they are going to stay overnight another day. they wanted to go kyakak one more time. it is a 6 hour drive so to do that and come home tonight would be very late.phyl
