It was so nice to spend time with friends. All three of us have had both vaccinations so we ended up not wearing masks. We sat outside and did play cards but I carefully avoided touching my eyes, mouth or nose! I wore mosquito spray because I always get bitten outside! We will meet again next Wednesday 
CHERRY: Broccoli sounds yummy! I don't know that it grows here in summer...think it is a winter crop, maybe? Will have to ask my husband. It must be nice to be able to let the sprinkler do the watering!
BEVERLY: Interesting about the jury selection and how nice to NOT be selected! I wonder if you will have to sit on a jury this time? How long is your "duty" for?
LYNN: How fun to be planning for the trip and seeing family. What is your white elephant present going to be? The meal you are making sounds so yummy!

Good morning friends,
Another day that I escaped jury duty! When I called last night, to see if I was needed today, only the people with last names starting with A-H were to report today. The rest of us are to call back Sunday night & will probably be needed on Monday. MY "duty" runs through next week. I am soooo glad that my "duty" ends next Friday, because the following Monday starts the murder trial, which is a death penalty case. I am so thankful to have missed that.
Seems as though bad things always happen in 3's. We started out with DH's nephew dying, then all the plumbing problems that we have been having (still on-going), still waiting for the guy to come back & re-plumb the bathtub. I'm sure he will be back, as we still owe him for the other day. On top of this, our sweet puppy, Jet has been diagnosed with diabetes. He is 9 yrs old. He is so loving & so sweet. I will give him a chance by doing the insulin thing for him. It is going to be quite expensive, with buying the meds & the vet visits. But, I just have to give him a chance. He is by far the best dog that I have ever owned. He bothers nothing & just loves us to death. I thought when my mom left, that I was through giving insulin shots every day, but guess not.
Must get going, shower & go to the drug store to pick up what we need to get started.
Have a great day everyone!

bmazzo , Sorry about your dog having diabetes, Bev. A cat I used to have had diabetes. I don't remember that the insulin was all that expensive but he did have to go in regularly to be tested. Cats' diabetes is harder to control than dogs, I think. Is there any way you can test his blood sugar at home and figure out how much insulin he needs? Or have the vet figure it out from your at home test? I did very little but read yesterday. I did go out to the garden the thin my beets and have a nice handful of beet tops to eat. I will probably mix them with some chard that is ready to cook and eat. I didn't get my thyme and chives planted yesterday. That is on my agenda for this morning. I'm going to work a couple of bags of composted manure into the flower bed before I plant them. It's going to be warm today, about 89 expected, so I'm going to get out to that flower bed soon, as it is 76 now. It's going to be up in the 90s starting tomorrow through next Wednesday, at least. Have a good day, everybody, and keep cool.

Cathy, I have some old wedding presents that I haven't ever used to white elephant....a small candelabra, some Christmas dishes and maybe a little pot or a duster set. Glad you were able to see your friends!
Bev, so sorry for your little Jet...I hope he/she pulls through!....Yes, I believe things happen in threes too.
Cherry, your garden sounds wonderful!
My cleaning lady just left and she also did two loads of laundry...She is coming back next week to help me organize the haul I have to take down to the beach.
Nothing else going on...DH and I have a regular check up tomorrow in the afternoon.
Have a great day!
