Good Morning ~ taking a break from typing - I did get an early start on a report earlier (6:00 am ) so I feel productive! Making good progress on the work - Woke today to cold temps - 40s - yesterday was the same and the house just would not warm up over 64 degrees so I bit the bullet and yes, turned on the furnace. It works! Yay lol I always hold my breath starting up the furnace for the season. Much better inside now even with the heat set at 68 it's comfortable with a sweatshirt. Oh, and my slippers! Sue - you are right, I bet we look funny wearing our slippers with summery clothes but my feet get cold! lol Sun is shining bright - ahhh - it helps with temps only in 50s low 60s. How did this happen so quickly? Geesh, so much for easing into Fall season, right? I am slowly bringing out my Fall decorations and taking down (oops) Easter and summer decor. LOL - C'mon, who's with me? Who else has an occasional Easter bunny on that top shelf? Yesterday I got outside for some much needed yard work. I clipped back the dead-heads of plants, planted a pot of Mums (bright yellow) and put one last bag of mulch down that I had left over from summer. Looks nice out front. I pulled out my dying annuals too. All spruced up now...had a good active day then did more work on contract reports. We did take-out last night from the locally owned Italian restaurant. Both Girls were out, so just us. It was a nice change from the stress of finding a place with Saturday evening seating - tomorrow things should improve from 25% capacity limits to 50% indoor seating. Linds said Friday night they had to turn folks away from the Brewery - it was too cold outside (even with space heaters and fire place going, folks STILL sat out there) and indoors was packed to their limited capacity. Still, they had a great night for business. Her tips are awesome so even cutting back to just working weekend shifts, she has a decent pay check/cash tips. Carly is home this weekend but returns to Pittsburgh next 2 weekends...they go 2 on, 2 off. She is totally stressed out with this schedule - especially since she is taking 3 Grad classes in addition to full time para-educator. The job is not hard, just long days when she wishes she could be doing school work. She's ALMOST done. This semester should be the final push - she does her Student Teaching this Spring - I'm glad she secured a placement locally with another Teacher of Visually Impaired so she doesn't have to pay rent to live in Pittsburgh area. Just yet.

I'm looking to join the band wagon of regaining control of my food intake/meals!! I fell off WW when all he** broke lose at work-work in August plus the trip to Fulton County. Since things are no different, and won't be until at least the Holidays, I know I need to focus NOW as this seems to be my new norm - Self Wellness, Girls. We gotta do that first, right?
My Birthday is coming around the corner (October 4) so I would like to treat myself to a new Fitbit. I was looking at the Apple Watch but honestly, why? I like my Alta Fitbit except, now that iPhones updated, my Fitbit no longer syncs for incoming text messages. I'd like to find the model that DOES that - Carly has the Apple Watch but she said it doesn't track sleep patterns. You are supposed to charge it at night. Oh. Well, then what's the sense of paying THAT much for something that doesn't even do what I want?? LOL So I'll look at FitBit again...
I'm heading back to Fulton County for round #2 of testing first part of October - actually Sunday (my Birthday) through Tuesday October 6. That way I can drive there in daylight AND not when exhausted from a day at work-work, when it's dark and chance of fog and rains - remember my trip there was NOT fun last time. Get this, DM invited herself to come with me this time! UGH...I know she is impatient to DO something outside of her house. It wouldn't be too much problem IF I can secure a decent AirBnB this time - the one this supervisor suggested seems unavailable through October. Maybe the owner is living there still? I'll reach out to ask - otherwise, I might book a hotel room in Maryland which is HALF the cost of a PA hotel room, and like our Sue, a short 25 minute drive from the school I'll be working.

Gabrielle - I totally lost what happened with DS21's birthday, a gift for 'drifting' and drama between DH and him?? Sorry I couldn't offer any support there - I'm thinking things settled? Fingers crossed, candles lit, and prayers offered the Grapes are acceptable. Such stress!! Remote Learning has been a nightmare for K-2 graders. The parents are flipping out. It's all TOO MUCH and no matter how many times we caution our teachers to NOT keep kids on the computers for hours at a time, they are being rigid and insist they HAVE to present 3 hours worth of lessons each morning. UGH!! I keep telling the Prince the phone calls from parents I'm handling - they are DONE with us and all this - it's really really hard to soothe nerves. I've started granting far more Modified Learning Plans to these parents. I've told teachers, the little ones will log on 8:30 - 10:00 then THAT IS IT. Afternoons they can do follow up work and submit a piece of work by evening. Even the local Daycares are DONE with this remote learning - their bandwidth cannot handle so many districts doing remote. And trying to supervise packed daycare rooms. It's almost comical the drama we are seeing virtually - parents swearing, other children at the daycare doing cartwheels or play-fighting, grandparents in robes/pj s wandering past the screens...the parents having tantrums and swearing are the worst! Even when we call THEM to say, please stop! They act entitled as this is somehow OUR fault. It's all insane. The older, independent students are doing great! Their parents are LOVING it. How is everything going in your districts?? Oh, and next weekend you ARE going to your DS right??? You really need to unplug, recharge!

Carole - sounds like activities with your girls are keeping you busier than planned! It's okay!! How was Apple Picking? I was exhausted reading your plan for Saturday with a visit to the farm plus stopping for major shopping. How did it all go? Does Zoe attend a pre-school program in-person or remote? I missed that one. One of our local districts is starting to ease into in-person instruction Oct 1. I wish we would consider the same. Especially for our little ones. Love the new app you are trying out - yes, read your emails LOL!!! I'm one for reading directions before jumping in - but I know many others prefer to jump in with hands on experience. Just EASE INTO IT!! you can do it!! Sue - glad you had a good time at Dutch Apple the other night - our numbers are decreasing to 10 or less daily positives now. I think we came through Labor Day okay - better than I would have thought. Sounds like Sheridan is planning on finding a position for you - such a huge relief. I know, actually reading about how different things have become for you and others made me realize that I either start adjusting or allow myself to gain far more than really is necessary. We have to figure out a new balance, right? My friend Cheryl is harvesting tons of squash and fall veggies. Nope, not sharing it either. I laughed because MAYBE I would use 3 or 4 squash here and there, but what in the world will she do with 29!! All to her self! She lives alone...she said she is freezing most and plans to put in stew or casseroles. Okay, but how many stews and casseroles can one person do?? Blech, in my opinion. But, hey, that's me. JO - I'll have to review my blood work results a little more closely. I know for the first time, they said my cholesterol was high but not necessary for meds yet if I lose weight and exercise 150 minutes a week. Hey, we'll see...I did start walking again. Well, tried to. But the tops of my feet and the one ankle immediately became painful again and I ended up limping back home. Drats. Need a different plan here. Jenny - how is everything your way? I heard you had some rains?? Did it help much?? Geesh, I am outta time - gotta make breakfast and get this day started. Hoping everyone has a Simple Sunday. Remember, Self Wellness is the goal this week

Good morning ladies!
It is nice and cool this morning and it has been less smokey. It was really nice on Friday (when I worked inside until 5:30 pm) and I was hoping that was the new scene but the smoke rolled in again yesterday---just not quite as bad. So, who knows, maybe we will actually see some blue sky today? I have to do my long run by myself today at 6:30 or so (when it is light enough) since I missed it yesterday. It's okay. So, DS21 and I drove to the class, he was pretty excited. I got gas on the way and he picked up a sandwich from Jack In the Box. When we got to the track about 2 hours later he wasn't feeling so good--stomach issues. We were thee for 4 hours while he did the class (the listen and learn part) and watched others do their skidding things (he was last on the list) and he got sicker and sicker feeling . Get this....we finally left at about noon. He didn't get to drive We are feeling pretty sure that it was some kind of food poisoning because it came on so quickly. He felt SO bad...kept saying how sorry he was. I felt terrible and spent the whole morning worried about him, worried about hoe DH would react, etc. So, DH (who spent the day out on a long run with friends) called me at about 3:00--I had just gotten home--and asked how it went. I told him that the class was great but that DS21 didn't get to drive. Of course, he was not happy at all at first, but he did settle down once he heard how DS21 was feeling. I told DH, "Listen, I have spent my Saturday worried about Max being sick and you being mad and I can't spend another minute worrying about this."....I think he got it. He came home and it all seems okay. I have to tell you, it is EXHAUSTING. Anyway, I do feel badly for DS21. He was MISERABLE and kept saying how sorry he was. Poor kid.
Christine: Great to see you! We knew that you were so busy! It sounds like your yard looks great--I need to tend to our front planters. It hasn't rained in months so the ground isn't very soft which makes weeding nearly impossible. I wish we could just get a little rain! I love fall though so looking forward to it. Oh, I hope that these months pass quickly for Carly....she can do it! LOL, so you get to spend your birthday with your mom, huh? You know that she would be so happy to tell people that you are taking her along on your work trip! You are a patient daughter! That is pretty crazy how much less it costs to stay in MD...hope that the bed and breakfast works out though..that sounds like fun! Oh, I hear you on the distance learning. By 10/19, all of our 15 districts will be in some form of hybrid and it all looks different. Some have group A come two full days, then group B come two full days, then a day with no kids (kids have 3 days of distance learning) others have Group A come 1/2 day 5 days per week and then Group B comes in the pm. Anyway, we have districts that had K-2 come back first for 3 weeks, then transitioned in grade 3, then grade 4 , etc. We all are of the opinion that it is MUCH harder for the K-2 kiddos than others. Hang in there---it is SO hard to do this work! Yes, the I Track Bites app is kind of a nice change--very much like WW. I am doing the Carb Conscious plan which mirrors Points Plus. Let us know if you want to join in! I posted the link here for Sue and Carole's plan info, but I think you can back track on the link to see more about it all. It is SO good to see you!

Carole: I LOVE that you did the maze at night! How fun! Isn't it great that the girls are getting older and wanting to do things like that? And I love the photo of apple picking! Will you and Nancy sneak in some apple picking time again? Might be a good reason to see her! Hope that today is good...your meal sounds yummy! I am not sure what we will have but I would love to make some soup and just got a new Cooking Light Soups/Stews cooking magazine in the mail. Will take a look...preferably something where I can add meat to mine and it is vegan otherwise so that I am not making two meals. I am sure that I can find something Hope that you have a good day (and help in the kitchen!)
Sue: Yay for Dutch Apple! Wow, sounds like they have the safety measures figured out! I would have loved Saturday Night Fever, but the other one sounds like it was nice too! So glad to hear that work is busy and that there is security there....very good news. How was Colton's game? Glad that you were able to stay home and get situated....and yes, that Dutch Apple for the holidays with Sarah and the kids sounds fun. Our area is moving into a less restrictive phase next week---50% capacity at restaurants and theatres and I am not sure what else--our governor completely changed our system about a month ago so I haven't studied it closely enough. I haven't changed what I do from day to day so it didn't really matter to me. I hope that you have a good day today!
Hello to Jo, Jenny, Shelly, Lisa, and all who follow. Time to get dressed and ready for my run. It is still pretty dark (a sign of Fall) but it lightens up pretty quickly closer to 6:30 am so I want to take advantage of that. Have a good day! Might try to pop in later....

Good morning Christine~ Nice to see you ♥ Thanks for starting us off this morning. I slept "in" until almost 8 AM! Now difficult to get moving here, want to just huddle in and let the day go by! BUT It is pool closing day - so in a few hours everyone will be here! I don't think "everyone", but at least Tim's family and my sisters! Dinner is easier than I thought it would be... one sister is bringing the cole slaw - and the other the chips! So all I did was cook the pork yesterday - pulled it apart last night and set it to cook today with the BBQ sauce, and I'll open a can of beans! Oh I am making a quick apple crisp later, with apples picked yesterday!
Other than that - the "work" of the day will be the pool... If it doesn't warm up ~ We will get the cover on and tie it down - beyond that I will leave the rest to be done when the weather warms back up a bit! I do not like filling water sleeves in the COLD - COLD weather!
My "sensible" Saturday took a turn when we hit McDs for lunch! UGH! Girls had a snack before leaving for apple [picking - but weren't hungry for "lunch" so of course by the time we were done they were hungry! LOL It was pretty much my only meal of the day - and I will track it, but it won't be pretty! Today will be better "bites" I think!
I did get over 8k steps - thanks to walking to the picking site... girls wanted to ride the tractor back, so we did, but I still got a lot of steps in for the day!
OH Christine - I'd say the district must be OK with the reports and the timing, or they would be hounding you! They trust you are doing what is needed... ugh don't ya' hate waiting for someone ELSE'S work to get your own done?? How is your family handling your being so busy??
LOL Eh, to be honest the ITB app is so similar to WW it is weird! LOL As with any "new" program or app, I have to use it (honestly) for it to be a benefit! I am not one to dive into the numbers - as in the calories, etc., I need to focus on tracking before I try to "read the data"! LOL I still don't even really LOOK at my Fitbit data very often!
Sue: WOW Still awake at 2 AM??? Glad you could sleep until 8:30!! Hmm, I was thinking Lacey was the painter... another Lacey? Saw the pics on FB, were those the slates I gave you?? LOL I didn't remember them being that BIG! They look huge!
Yeah it would be difficult to track the DA Dinner... but yay for mostly proteins and veggies. I would not have skipped the potatoes either!! Something I don't "get" very often! Yes... Getting BACK in control is the project of the week here! Oh Friday I DID get my grinder... enjoyed it - but was slightly disappointed... they didn't put my tomatoes and green peppers on it! Oh well, IT was still yummy, and got that craving out of my system (for now). Yeah, I can have bread or not... sometimes I WANT it, but then don't eat it all... other times, I can't STOP (dinner rolls)… today will be pork on a plate - no bun - have never been partial to pulled pork sandwich! We also have to get Matt's name off our life insurance policies ~ I mean, I guess we don't HAVE to, but we have decided to put Patti's name on it instead. We don't feel she should not be considered our daughter, just because Matthew died. I keep remembering how "hurt" I was when we got DMILs will. Hence the reason for wanting to get a WILL on paper... just one more thing to add to my list of things I don't ever make time to get to!
Oh Trust me IF my hairdresser HAD evening hours I would be there.... but since COVID she only works Saturdays! The good news is it is NOT all the way in Greenfield - it's only in Shelburne (the town you visited the bridge of flowers) so only about 10 minute drive. I leave about 8:18 and am back home about 9:15. With not doing coloring it is so much nicer to be out of the house for only the hour! I choose the early morning - as it fits easiest for a day with the girls.
Nah, after Kaitlin left Friday I basically concentrated on my review! LOL My work was done - Deb's work was long done - so I took the time for ME! Fourteen of you?? Were you all allowed to sit together?? Around here, we can't sit more than 6 at a table! Must have been good to get out with friends... had you seen any of them the past 6 months??
Hmmm, I wonder if that "spike" is what caused PA to go back on the travel ban for MA?? The good news is - I have no plans to go ANYWHERE until April, so it doesn't really matter to me if we can't travel I guess! No point mourning the loss of something I wasn't planning on doing anyway!
OH I am ever so thankful for my 2 local full serve stations! I mean I DO pump gas, I just prefer not to.
Gabrielle: Thanks for the link... that's what I have from the website - but thanks!

All for keeping it SIMPLE today! WATER - WATER - WATER too! Yesterday I failed (again) to get my water in! Today will be better!
Christine - Glad you can take a few minutes away from your typing/reports to chat a bit ♥ Miss you
LOL - I have had the pellet stove going almost every morning this week! Woke here to 31 outside... yup... frost advisory last night and tonight. I bought, placed, watered and COVERED mums yesterday! OH and I am back to watering the grass seed! Let's hope the frost doesn't kill the seed before it can grow! Watered the driveway - just for fun - yesterday too! LOL I won't do that every day, but was trying to wash away some of the DIRT the guys tracked all over it while loaming and seeding!
Ah - I probably WOULD have a stray decoration IF I decorated for every holiday. I will admit that there are plenty of times I find a stray Christmas ornament/decoration in February!! Hey it happens!
Glad the smaller crowds at the brewery isn't hitting Linds in a bad way! OH yeah, NO, not sitting outside if I am cold! NOPE!
Welcome to the "Take Back Control" portion of our program! LOL YES need to get back in control BEFORE the holidays! I totally agree - get yourself a new Fitbit and ENJOY it... you deserve it! Oh dear... back to the county, and your DM wants to go with you??? I get it... but... does she know how busy you will be??? Will she be OK with sitting alone in a hotel room all day?? Good luck on that one... guess DH doesn't want to go again???
Oh My Goodness... so MUCH to deal with surrounding your work - the kids - the parents - the PRINCE?? Apparently DL isn't involved at all... OY VEY!
Zoë is not involved with remote learning at all. Being Pre-K, they just aren't included! Kathy had mentioned signing up for a Scholastics.com learning thing for her - but honestly with so much going on in HER life right now, I imagine that plan fell short? I gave Zoë some math and spelling workbooks, but I think they are at her house - and not something Kathy is dealing with. I hate to ask too many questions - don't want to sound judgmental?
I bought some squash yesterday, the plan was to try to keep it for winter... but... foolish ME, tried to carry too many - ended up dropping them! Most of them SPLIT so now they need to be cooked ASAP! UGH! No worries, really, Ken will cook them up tomorrow, and I will mash and bag them for the freezer! I still have 3 that are in the basket to pull out during the winter - just hoping they stay FRESH! I would think maybe Cheryl might use 1 squash per week - maybe?? I am thankful the guy down the road is selling his $2. each... some are 6+ #! His wife wants him to get more for them - but he says EH, rather folks can use them cheap than have them go bad!
Hmm, 150 minutes a week is not a LOT in the form of walking - or biking... maybe even I could commit to that! LOL I need to get back to walking a bit - as our Fall 5K is coming up soon! Sorry your foot didn't allow you to get back to your walking plan. Do you still have a bike you can ride?? OR is it still in Lindsey's room??
Gabrielle: OH NO! So sorry DS21 got too sick to even drive!! Hope he was feeling better by the time you all got back home?? UGH I agree - worrying about Max, and then worrying about Ed's "reaction" must have made for an awful day!! Hey it happens... glad DH got over it quickly! I am sure DS21 is very sad to have missed it - add to that worrying about Dad.. poor kid!
LOL Yes I can admit to enjoying the maze at night... but they also run a scavenger hunt - kind of hard to find all those things in the dark! Doubt I will get to apple pick with Nancy She seems to only be available on week days - these days, and I am at work. I had hoped when her sister was in town to care for their DM, that she could spare time to come out and meet for lunch - but - nope, she couldn't make the time. So I think I will only get to see her, if I go to her... but week days are not so good for me these days!
I will make another batch of squash soup this week ~ HA! With the squash I bought and dropped!
OK Now I need to get moving - Ken went on an ambulance call, and I need to get a few things done before folks start arriving!
KEEP IT SIMPLE LADIES ♥hugs♥

Good Morning
Well the rains have come and given us fresh air again after 2 weeks of smoke, thank you God. Yes we had some good old fashion Oregon rain where it just comes in and dumps on you for a long time and lots of it. We also had some thunder on Friday night into Saturday it woke me up. I was supposed to work all week but my boss called up and asked if I wanted Friday off and since I had my 40 hours in on Thursday I said yes I would like the day off so I had another 3 day weekend. I'm at the old plant where I was filling in for WWOW while she starts clean up on her house from all the smoke this week I'll be there as well.
Today I'm going to dead head all my hydrengous plants that have died and do a little yard work. I need to fire up the leaf blower and blow all the leaves that are already falling on the ground. We also found a new refridgerater and need to go double check the size of it so it will fit, if it doesn't fit we are going to have to take a cabnet out so it can.
Audrey finally started on line classes after being posponed for a week due to the fires and families that live up the canyon that lost their homes so they had no place to go to start school when all these fires broke out, she loves her new room with the new color as well. We painted it a light grey and took it from a teenager's room to a young adult's room and she got a larger bed, before she had a twin bed now she has a full size bed. She loves it.
OK need to run for now have a great day everyone
Jenny

Afternoon all....tired of working on the laundry and putting the clothes away so taking a quick break to catch up a bit....got all my med containers filled so don't need to worry about that in the morning....I hate doing that but it's faster then opening everything each morning...
Carole...my Saturday was anything BUT sensible...totally fell off the wagon and ate like crap...got home from painting last night and had two glasses of wine while I played Words with Friends and tried to relax to hopefully fall asleep sooner than the night before....it was still midnight before I fell asleep and up just after 7:00am but do feel like I slept pretty well!! I'm back on track today and have tracked my day so far.....having turkey burgers for dinner. Got the last of the chicken and Spicy Potato Soup to finish up for lunches next week so not planning on making anything else....want to clean out all we have in the fridge before I make something else. LOL....seems are in the "clean out the leftover" mode too!!
I saw the apple picking pictures that you and Tracy posted...the girls look like they had fun!! Love the ones with Zoe on your shoulders reaching for those HIGH ones!! WTG getting the 3k steps at the corn maze on Friday too....always a bonus to get those extra steps in!!
Gabrielle...thanks for the link to the 0 point list...I'm wondering if you got it because you are on the Carb plan and Carole and I are on the Sugar one.....either way...thanks for sending it along....I know the carb program you get less "bites" so you would need to take advantage of those 0 point foods. I have forwarded it to work so I can print it out....still no ink at home!! Need to add that to my shopping list or order online....
Christine...thanks for starting us off today....I am indeed enjoying a "simple Sunday".....it's perfect...was going to head to the store but Jason stopped last night and picked up a few of things on the list so figured I don't really need the other things on the list immediately so will just wait until next week. Yes....it was VERY chilly here when I got up...the sun is shining bright but it's pretty breezy so if you are not in the sun it is chilly. One more cold day for us then back to the mid to upper 70's for the rest of the week!! Thankfully our house despite the cold nights and chilly days is still 71°....
LOL....I had a few spring pictures but not Easter....it was more flowers and stuff that could fit for summer too!! YAY Christine for getting outside away from your computer to tackle some yard work...you must have enjoyed that break from "work"!! I'm sure Linds will be happy with the increased seating capacity at the brewery. Glad cutting back to weekends only gives her a decent paycheck. If you are good waitress, you can make good $$$ in tips. As I said, I made more $$ waiting tables at Friendly's than I did as a nurse.....and that was back when a $1 tip was a big tip!! LOL!! Hopefully Carly can keep on plugging along to get this semester finished and seems things are falling into place to keep her close to home for now to save the rent $ in Pittsburgh!!

YES...self wellness is much needed in my world too!! Hop on the wagon, we have room for all...I'm struggling getting focused again but doing my best....will take me a while to regain the full commitment I used to have but it's coming....baby steps and I'll be back on track soon!! I'm sure I will "feel" the need when I start putting on my winter clothes.....while I haven't gained much, a few pounds can make a difference.
I still need to get on my Cubii today....but doing a bunch of other things that I can't just sit and do it but will take the time when I'm done here and done the laundry project....that will be done today!!
Good idea Christine to plan the travel days to Fulton County in daylight when rested.....bummer it's your birthday, but lately, my birthday is "just another day"!! Hopefully you can find a nice AirBNB....yes, in that part of the state it might just be cheaper in a MD hotel....over closer to me though you get a better deal in PA, then a bit further east it's as broad as it is long...funny how just moving 15-20 miles down the road the prices change!! Hopefully DM will be on her best behavior and not be more of a burden since you are there for work after all!!
UGH Christine....3 hours on a computer is WAY too much time for K-2 graders.....8:30-10:00 is a much better plan.....I know Jackson is on for about an hour in the morning for a ZOOM class then has come more online work to do later in the day that is not interactive with the teacher but it works....he's in 2nd grade. So far all of Sarah's boys seem to be adjusting to the hybrid schedule and doing fine....Kale & Rowan are still going strong with 5 days a week in NE.
So far is seems like we survived Labor Day well too....our spike was only due to the prison numbers. While many colleges are having issues, it seems the ones in York are doing fine, finding the balance of in person and online classes....I know Gettysburg College, which is Adams County had a HUGE number of cases and closed down and sent everyone home....fingers crossed people are starting to see that if we do our part....we will manage to get through this upcoming cold/flu season OK.....
OMG Christine...Cheryl is in for a big disappointment come winter when she pulls that squash out....they will be useless....not even good for a stew or casserole. Depending on what Fall veggies she has she might be OK with them but squash and cukes...NOPE!!!
I think I could commit to 150 minutes of exercise each week...if I do my Cubii 30 minutes 5 days/week....there it is!! Count me in!!!
Gabrielle....glad the temps are cooler and the smoke is a bit less....what makes it vary day to day??? Is it the winds changing, the temps?? What a bummer for Max to miss out on the driving....glad you set Ed straight....yes, I get it but if Max is as sick as it sounds, it was just "one of those things" out of anyone's control Hope Max feels better today!! Yes, we would have loved Saturday Night Fever too but will say, I can't wait for them to bring MDQ back another time...we will go again!! It was a phenomenal show!!!
Poor Colton and his teammates got clobbered....they lost 48-0!!! Jason said it was painful to watch....yes, the 50% capacity change won't matter much to me here in PA....going to Chili's was only the 3rd time I ate inside a restaurant since March.....the other two were Cracker Barrel when traveling!! I think that is the only change coming tomorrow for us!
OK....need to get back to my clothes....can't hang out here all afternoon. Be back later I hope!!
Waves to everyone.....hope everyone is enjoying a Simple Sunday!!

Happy to report there is no laundry anywhere in my house except dresser drawers, closets and one final load in the washer....feels good to have that done finally....believe it or not at the bottom of one of the piles there were a couple Christmas shirts....sad, isn’t!!
Jason is firing up the grill to put on the turkey burgers so no time to visit but needed to share my Simply Successful Sunday!!
