A friend called this morning asking me to join her and another of our friends this afternoon. All of us have now had both vaccinations and have been careful with protocols to avoid Covid-19. We will meet outside wearing masks on her balcony and play cards. I will take my own ice tea and hand sanitizer and am kind of looking forward to it. I even put mascara on! The only potential caution is that Delta variation is rearing its head here in Lebanon and one never knows for sure how careful everyone encountered is when and if they are out and about. I made atayfee for lunch (think some call it red spinach and others say it is amaranth). You cook onions, add the clean bite-size-chopped leaves and then later add in cooked bulgur. We had it with black eyed peas, hummus and then had cantaloupe for dessert.
BEVERLY: I hope jury duty went okay and was interesting if you were made part of the jury.
CHERRY: If you were sweating you were exercising! Any movement other than sitting in a chair is exercise 
LYNN: Glad you found the article interesting. The situation here is bad in all sectors. I am thankful we live on land and not in an apartment, that we have enough food, have what money we do have in dollars, and that we are both healthy for our ages. Positive attitude is a BIG help, too! I think we have sunflowers in the garden? At least I saw one that was standing and had bloomed! What are you cooking for the beach?

Good morning. Yesterday I finished weeding my corn, potatoes, and squash and melons, then watered. It was getting kind of hot near the end, but there was a breeze, so that helped. I also finished watering my trees and bushes, which is a matter of putting the slow running water by the tree and setting a timer for 45 min. to an hour.
Today I'm going to work some compost into my one flower bed and re-plant the chives and thyme I saved from it.
Yesterday I picked a broccoli head from my garden and had it steamed last night with supper. I still have some of it left. Tonight I'm going to have some Swiss chard from the garden. I also have some lettuce I can pick and use.
Have a good day, beaches.

Good morning friends,
Shaping up like a hot day here, so far, this summer hasn't been as brutal as usual. So sorry for for the people out west, so many of them have no AC. I don't know how we ever managed to live here without it.
Our tomatoes have started coming in. We had sliced tomatoes with our breakfast this morning. Nothing tastes as good as a fresh home-grown tomato.
Yesterday at court. They were selecting a jury to sit on a child-abuse case. There were 70 prospective jurors there & they picked 13 for the jury. They assign each person a #, Then, they simply draw the numbers out of a barrel, kinda like calling bingo #s. My # never came up. They called the original 13, then they questioned them & dismissed 5 of them, so they called 5 more to replace them. I never got called. It was just as well, they would have dismissed me anyway, my DD has worked for Child Protective Services for over 25 yrs (she used to investigate child abuse), also, there is my history of caring for critically ill children. So, I'm sure that I would have been dismissed, but it wasn't an issue as I was never called up. I have to check in after 6 pm today to see if I need to report tomorrow. It is interesting to see how things work.
The plumber is due back today about noon, we know that the bathtub has to be re-plumbed. There is a terrible black gook coming out of it & it won't drain at all. We may have to take out a bank loan to pay the plumber! LOL. Plumbers really do make more money than doctors!
Have a great day friends.

Hello, my friends!
Cathy, I am doing a Thanksgiving themed dinner and will make a Thanksgiving dinner baked in a pie. I will layer, stuffing, potatoes, turkey and gravy and maybe a veggie in a pie crust. I will also make cranberries on the side...and a salad....My paper turkey arrived for the middle of the table and I have little pumpkins for each person's place setting....
Bev, maybe you will get out without having to serve on a trial!
Cherry, you are the gardening queen!
I'm working on getting stuff together for the trip. I did bathing suits today and wrapped the presents for the Christmas white elephant. That is always fun! I'm doing everything little by little!!
Have a great day!
