Nothing to really report. I finished a book and started another one...my life is books and more books and then more reading of and writing reviews about...BOOKS. That said...heard of a lovely sounding place in Australia called Walhalla that I had never heard of before, returned to Victorian times and became involved in a woman finding a way to thwart her evil uncle and am now getting ready to read a romantic suspense novel that has a strong female and male and is no doubt military/CIA/SEAL/or something like that based - part of a series. I have a BETA version of a book to read and give feedback on along with some cookbooks and books on palmistry, meditation and other things. I know my mind is active and stimulated even if I am not getting as much physical exercise as I should.
BEVERLY: I wonder what it must be like to be in the public eye all the time...some court it but I don't know that I would enjoy it. McCain was an interesting man...would like to hear more about him in the future. Sorry your SIL is hanging on in a coma. So hard for family at this point when the quality of life is gone but the body isn't giving up.
PAM: What movie did you watch with your mother?
LYNN: Glad that the baskets are finished - or mostly finished. I wonder if anyone ever has male-female pajama parties? I am sure your reunion will be a lot of fun!
CHERRY: Do you do much preserving of food and do you prefer freezing to drying or canning?

Good morning. Mostly I freeze things as it's not as much work as canning. I used to can pickles, salsa, jams/jellies but I haven't done any canning in quite some time. I found a recipe for salsa that is frozen, and that is what I'm going to do with these tomatoes. I still need to pick my beans, as I didn't get them done yesterday, so today is going to be a day of work rather than rest.
Have a nice day, Beaches.

Good morning besties!
Another hot & extremely humid day here. In fact, the 7 day forecast is for heat index over 100 for the next week!!! Only 21 days till fall begins, maybe sooner or later we will get some relief.
Still no word out of NY on DH's sister. I talked with her DD at great length yesterday. They are completely worn out, this is so hard on everyone. I have been through this before with members of my own family, it is heartbreaking.
Cherry, a friend of mine says that she cans chicken all the time in her instapot. I have recently drug my pot out & have canned green beans & white beans. I bought some chicken breasts on sale yesterday & I think I am going to try canning the chicken. It will give me something to do today and keep my mind off other things.
Cathy, Since knowing you, I have refreshed my memory on why I never join book clubs. I always think that I want to, then I realize that they will
actually want me to read things. I am not much at keeping up a schedule for anything.
Lynn & Pam, hope you are both having great weekends. Lynn, your reunion sounds like so much fun!!! Wish we could see the outfits.
Have a great weekend all.

I will get my outfits together today for the reunion. I thought for a hoot, I will wear old time curlers to the pajama party. I bought some foamy things that clip over, so that should be fun!
This morning I cleaned up my kitchen of the shreds of paper and organized the baskets in my living room. I have to keep the candy in air conditioning,so I took those bags out and will keep them cool.
Nothing else to report. Labor Day is a big deal where we live. There are races and stuff for the kids and a big party tonight. We don't usually go.
There are many younger families who we do not know.
Have a great Sunday! Sending cyber hugs to all.

Home from church and then breakfast and farmers market. We picked up some cherries to take to my sister’s for the barbecue this afternoon. I do have a plan for eating and will enjoy being with family.
Cathy: we watched Coco yesterday. Mom had never seen it and loved it.
Beverly: Praying for you and your family as you deal with your dsil.
Cherry: Enjoy your beans and finishing up your harvesting.
Lynn: Your rollers for the pajama party sound like a winner.
Enjoy your Sunday beaches. Hope you have reasons to keep smiling.
