Warm, sunny day here but the humidity isn't so high so hasn't gotten so warm in my house. Have the tower fan on and I'm very comfortable and Pat was just over and she said it didn't feel warm in here either.

Didn't have a whole lot of ambition today but made myself get in gear and get some things done. Got the ground beef and cheese divided, wrapped and put in the freezer. Cut up the rotisserie chicken into pieces and put them in baggies for chow mein, soup and little baggies of small pieces for Ozzie. Simmered the bones with veggies for homemade stock, added the chicken off the bones and froze that all for when the weather calls for homemade chicken soup. Cleaned a cupboard under my vanity and gave Ozzie a bath and brushed his teeth. Not a happy boy about that.
Read some in the Stephen King book Fairy Tale. I'm liking it so far.

Not sure what I'm cooking (warming up) for supper. Won't be ready for that for a couple hours.

What's everyone got planned for the weekend? Nothing for me. Suppose to be much warmer (in the 90's) this weekend. Not so warm as in someplaces but pretty high for us.

Lin, I have tried on my own. When I try to get a brand new game going, it says I have one in the cloud. Even apple tech doesn't know that much about the "cloud". All I can see in my cloud are photographs.

I am reading The Women. I think it is a must read, it may be fiction but I think Kristen Hannah is an accurate author. This was our generation's war and was a nasty war. And it's a hard read.

Had my pizza group today and it was fun.

Betty, you did great on prepping food, I really need to do better at it. Hint, add some V8 to the stock, really makes it good.

Time to settle in and read. Good Night, Ladies.

Geri, it was a hard read and many times I was tempted not to finish it. I did finally finish but not without a struggle. My brother in law was in Vietnam and never talked about what went on there and neither does a friend who was there. I don't know how or where the author got her information and the details about the things that happened. My dear brother in law passed away about a year ago from Parkinsons disease caused by agent orange in Vietnam.
I wish I hadn't read it. I think often about the guys that came back injured both physically and mentally. And the families who lost fathers, brothers, sons and husbands many who never found out what happened to their loved ones. Even though the book was a work of fiction it still brought back bad memories probably to more people than myself.

I have learned the hard way to avoid a lot of meaningful books. Good imagination plus bad stories will stay with me and pop up.I am not one who needs educating about most of it. Know a lot already. I have also reached a point of not wanting to be informed on a lot of things I cannot do one blessed thing to fix. I think people were happier when there was less news
