HI JUNE BUGS, I SPENT MOST OF THE AM I N PLAYPEN. CUTTING OUT SOMET THINS FOR SEW DAY IN THE AM?
QFTD???HOW MANY OF US HAVE BEEN TO THE GRAND CANYON. 2013 MY SIS WENT HOME TO THE LORD. THEY DID THE MEMORIAL SERVICE IN JULY. WE HAVE BEEN TO ARIZONA SEVERAL TIMES.
ON OUR WAY TO SCOTTSDALE WE STOPPED IN FLAGSTAFF.FROM THERE ON TO THE GRAND CANYON.WE WENT TO THE SOUTH RIM. THE CANYON IS BREATH TAKING. WE DID A LOT OF WALING. SOME PLACES WE DID THE SHUTTLES. ONE PLACE WE WOULD LOOK THROUGH THE VIEW FINDER AND SEE THE COLORADO RIVER. COURSE I LOOKED LIKE A TINY STREAM.
THEY HAVE BEAUTIFUL SHOPS PLACES TO EAT. WOULD HAVE LIKE TO BOUGHT SOME INDIAN JEWELRY MADE BY THE LOCALS. VERY EXPENSIVE.
WE DID NOT SEE ANY SNAKES.WE DID SEE LOTS OF GROUND SQUIRRELS THEY HAVE SIGNS ALL OVER NOT TO FEED THEM OR TOUCH THEM. ONE LITTLE BOY (THINK THEY WERE FROM JAPAN)WENT OVER THE WALL AND WAS PETTING ONE. THE SQUIRREL WAS LIKE FROZE BEING PETTED. THE PARENTS AND THE REST OF THE GROUP WERE SMILING AND TAKING PICTURES.
WE WERE THERE FROM ABOUT 8.30 AM TO 8 PM. ON THE WAY BACK TO FLAGSTAFF AN ANIMAL CROSSED THE ROAD. WE WERE FAR BACK SO THE CAR LIGHTS COULDN'T SHINE ON WHAT IT WAS. LONG LEGS SO WE THINK IT WAS A MOOSE OR ELK.
WHEN WE GO TO The MOTEL AGAIN I ASKED IF WE COULD HAVE OUR SAME ROOM.NO. WHEN DON OPENED OUR ROOM DOOR,THE ROOM HAD NOT BEEN
CLEANED.WE DID GET OUR ROOM FROM BEFORE BACK.
THIS TRIP I GOT TO MEET LIN WHO IS ON THE OWLS AND CALLERS (RETIREDINAZ)THREAD.
ALSO GOT TO MEET ROSE .SHE WAS LATE NIGHT'S THREAD AND THE AMERICA WALKING THREAD . WE LOST ROSE TO CANCER BY OCTOBER. ROSE WAS VERY CHARMING, GREAT HOSTESS ,ALSO HAD A BEAUTIFUL HOME
I WILL GIVE SOME HISTORY OF THE CANYON IN THE MORNING.
SO NOW LADIES IT IS TIME FOR THIS KID TO GO TO BED. SANDMAN SAYS GOOD NIGHT. BUGS BUNNY PHYL.

Feels like I'm catching a cold.. my throat feels scratchy and itch.. ears too.. hope not.
I didn't go to town but mac did.. he got most everything I needed.. I made him a detailed list.. I mean I all but drew pictures.. he has such a hard time shopping. But now I can start on my cooking for the reunion. Today I made a microwave meatloaf.. I just love this recipe for meat loaf.. I like it much better than made in the oven.. And it's so fast. But that's not for the reunion, that was for dinner.
Cat, Thank you for doing the QOTD for so long.. I love those questions.. makes it fun hearing about the things we all have in common.. I will miss the questions.
Yes I have been to the grand canyon.. Its a beautiful spot..
Kathie not long now till you go on your trip.. I know you are looking forward to it.. I hope you go and relax... Hope Bobbie will be there and you won't have to worry.
Lucy, I think for July I can be..." Relaxing Reunion"

Phyl I wonder if the Rose you mentioned was the one who lived in California who had lost 100 pounds and always shared different recipes. If it is I also met her when I visited my sister in California. I tried to keep in touch but then she just wanted to be left alone so I respected her wishes. If this is the same Rose I have often wondered what happened to her.
So after gaining 6 pounds in four days and when I checked my blood pressure yesterday and it was pretty high I messaged my doctor, this is the one who's leaving the practice Friday to move to Minnesota, and asked if she thought I should go back on the chlorthalidone as that seemed to be the only bp medicine that works and does not cause weight gain. I know it raises blood glucose but figure I need to get the bp down and the weight gain stopped as that can cause heart problems and maybe if I still watch what I eat I can still bring the blood sugar level down as I looked back at my chart for last June when all numbers were looking good even blood glucose and at that time I was taking metformin and chlorthalidone so at least I can do this and see what my new doctor who specializes in diabetes and seniors says when I see him in October. Oh and I started taking the chlorthalidone yesterday and down two pounds this morning so I was holding onto a lot of water! So just going to be a good girl and take the medicine, watch what I eat, walk more and stop trying to diagnose myself!
I don't know if it was a rock that cracked the car that Maija and Sam are driving but the third party for State Farm set up an appointment with Safelite and they are coming to where Maija and Sam are camping so at least they won't be having to drive around to find it. They are coming between 8-12 this morning and will text them when on the way. The work order was sent to us since they're on our policy but there will be no charge. I forwarded the e-mail to Debbie so she can send it to them if needed.
Not sure what we're doing today. Heat and humidity are going to start today so I'm very glad we got ahead of it with the a/c already on and house temp very pleasant.

good morning, yes cat thank you for the QOTD. THEY ARE FUN.
sandy I do not know if this rose lived in california or not. when we met ROSE it was in Arizona. hr husband died of cancer about a years or so before she did .Her dd was a specialist in kids doctor. and live a crossed the street. that way Rose could help out with the grand kids. she may have posted recipes.I do not remember if she did.
GRAND CANYON HISTORY
GRAND CANYON PARK IN ARIZONA IS HOME TO MUCH OF THE IMMENSE GRAND CANYON, WITH IT'S LAYERED BANDS OF RED ROCK REVELING MILLIONS OF YEARS OF GEOLOGICAL HISTORY.
VIEW POINTS INCLUDE MATHE POINT,YAVAPAL OBSERVATION STATION AND ARCHIVACT MARY COLTER'S LOOK OUT STUDIO AND HER DESERT WATCH TOWER.
LEPAN POINT,WITH WIDE VIEWS OF THE CANYON AND COLORADO RIVER,IS A POPLAR ESPECIALLY AT SUNRISE AND SUNSET.
AREA IS 1,902 MILES.ESTABLISHED FEBRUARY26 1919.
HOW THE GRAND CANYON WAS FORMED. AROUND 20 MILLION YEARS AGO THE COLORADO RIVER BEGINS TO CARVE INTO THE GROUND THE GRAND CANYON AND IT'S EASTERN END MARBLE CANYON, AND PROBABLY EXTREME VIA KANAB CANYON.AT 17 MILLION THE YEARS AGO THE COLORADO PLEATEAU BEGINS TO UPLIFT AND CAUSES THE RIVER TO CUT DEEPER.
NOW YOU CANNOT TELL ME GOD DID NOT CREATE OUR BEAUTIFUL WAY BACK THEN THERE IS NO WAY MAN COULD HAVE CREATED THE GRAND CANYON OR OTHER BEAUTIFUL PARTS OF OUR COUNTRY OR WORLD..
TIME TO GET PACKED FOR SEW DAY AND HAVE BREAKFAST.
ENJOY YOUR TUESDAY. BUGS BUNNY PHYL.

Good morning, June Bugs!
Sandy, was the windshield on the car what suffered the damage? I'll bet those kids are tired of camping by the time they return home!
Lucy, I'm sorry you don't want to shop jewelry with me! LOL! I don't wear much either -- watch, rings, tiny spot earrings, and a simple chain necklace. Usually it's the same every day.
We have become concerned for the farmhouse renter. We haven't heard from him since late in May. I'm going to call his emergency contact this morning to see what's happening.
DH has an appointment with his PC physician today. This is the first since his episodes in October and February.
I really do need to get to my sewing room. I need to mend all those items of Mom's that I brought home, and I want to make a chambray shirt with pockets and epaulets. If I could find a shirt, I'd buy it, but I can't find one. I've even looked online at places such as LL Bean. I would pay a lot not to sew the pockets and epaulets! Of course, there is always office work to be done too.
Right now, I'm going to have my coffee and muffins. BBL! ~~Molly

Good Morning Phyl and June Bugs,
This morning it is 68* and and going up to 90* with mostly sunny skies this morning with scattered showers and thunderstorms developing in the afternoon. A few storms may be severe. Winds will be 5-10 mph.
As far as I know there are no special plans for today, so I'll just wait and see what comes up today.
Its so nice to see everything blooming and we found that our yard has beautiful iris, gladiolas, and I think a peony getting ready to bloom.
I hope there won't be a problem with posting for me like yesterday, where everything I had posted disappeared and the posts from the day before replaced the ones I had put in.
I can't manage the steep stairs to the basement where the washing machine and dryer are, so Hannah did my laundry for me last night and I'll get everything sorted, folded and put away in my room today.
Doris

AQOTD
I have visited the Grand Canyon. My friend had a time share in Flagstaff and later we went to Sedona. It is a beautiful part of the country.

71 to 90 sunny. Only a slight chance for rain. Watch out we could get a downpour as they miss the weather so much around here. Seems there were 2 small earth quakes in my county yesterday afternoon.
Yep, Kathie, you made page 3 two nights in a row. I am glad you had help yesterday.
Cat, I enjoy your QOTDs.
Phyl, I won't have as interesting month as you have. All I can promise is a lot of pictures.
Molly, I don't wear any jewelry weekdays. I might put lipstick on to leave the house and I might not. I got mad at DH when he died on me so suddenly and threw my wedding ring and never put it back on. Well, I have a few times for a short time.
I have never been to the Grand Canyon. It was on our bucket list after we bought the motor home but it never happened and now I will probably never get there.
My Grandma made the best chicken and dumplings but she used the skin also and that was her favorite part and so she put it on my plate. Yuck. I would try to leave it on my plate by covering it with something else. Mama always skinned our chicken. We did not eat skins.
I think I will strip the bed and wash a load. I need to vacuum. So I guess I should get with it. One more cuppa. Have a great Tuesday all. ITSY BITSY SPIDER LUCY
