It has been a busy day and someone is napping. Hubby had a chiropractic appointment early. Then we went about 20 miles to Herb Mart to buy a bunch of NAC (being pushed out by Big Pharma) and on over another 10 miles to the Pond & Pump shop. Back in Rockwall, we went to Lowe's for fence pickets. Even stopped at Schlotzsky's drive thru before we made it home.
Don't know how I got on the cat theme... but might as well run with it. We visited on the phone with our friends in Lubbock over projects we both have going and how tired we all are today. They had their garage floor refinished last year and are now getting their back patio areas done today.
The surface is not slippery and is going to look awesome around the koi fish pond and the covered area where they eat which is a big patio off of their shop. They are having 20-30 people over for a class reunion pre gathering party outside next weekend (very small graduating class many years ago).
Ok, by the time I get this posted, the weekend has started! So nap time is over and I missed it. Hope you get to relax or get to go out and have some fun for the weekend.
Good Morning or Afternoon now! I have come into the computer room 4 times to start this message to YOU! I have also been outside 3 times to water wilted plants. Finally it is finished. It is so hot that I have to stop and come in to cool. How many days until Fall or Autumn? I know we are due a cool front and rain in a few days but everything may have melted by then.
In the meantime, what is there to do? I still don't have my hummingbird water bath made. I'm not even sure if they have food or if they are even in the area now because of the heat as it is not fun sitting on the patio to watch for them. But I'll try...
So, what are you doing to survive this day? You know the weekend is getting very close and I hope you have something planned. If you have a list, I hope you get something crossed off it.
Now what is for lunch? Oh, we are both too hot to eat. Guess I had better help hubby finish his project in the garage. He took down shelves and he is putting up a wire storage organizer on wheels.
That is kind of what we are doing with hubby's eye glasses doctor. We just dropped off our third prescription at the Optical Laboratory for new glasses. And next Wednesday, hubby will have laser surgery to remove a buildup on the implant in his left eye. We just keep taking another shot at getting glasses that he doesn't see double (Prism in glasses) and blurry and ... try again.
I was afraid he had gotten too hot yesterday when he was replacing and rewiring the septic water pump by braille. He has such a hard time seeing details like wires going together now. He is my SuperMan!
I am off to see what plants are wilted and in need of some water to perk up. Our temperature is only 96 but it feels like 107 right now. Sure hope you are cooler than that!
A glorious Wed. day to you as you enjoy your special day doing this and that today. This will be our last 90 plus temp day and I am most happy about it. Blessed to have a breeze also so that helps the day to not be as warm.
I believe this is a nice day to head over to our friendly library and check out the DVD's and books. May your day be ever so kind to you. Smiles Gloria
Here we are on a Taco Tuesday afternoon! The front, sides and back are hand watered. I was dripping so much you would have thought I got watered. So shower is completed and my nails will soon to be a different ColorStreet color.
Hubby goes back to the eye glasses doctor tomorrow. So I'm not sure what time I will be here. I always enjoy reading your comments and looking around your page and I do hope you enjoy your visit to my page.
Come back again soon. Please share your smile and make someone smile back at you!
Wow where did this month go to for it is the last week of the month and will be soon into August. Each month has it beauty, so exciting to see and enjoy. I am sipping on some honey's bon from the Donut Shop flavored coffee as I do my daily duties of the day. Just received this flavor the other day . Very tasty! May you have a lovely week enjoying these summer days that are flying by so fast. Smiles Gloria
I get up on a glorious summer morning and gaze out at the new day. With all the strongest and deepest instincts of my nature I long to go out into the green beauty of the world, to fling myself down in some sloping meadow and feel the sunshine envelop me and the warm winds pass over me, to see them tossing the grasses and tugging at the trees and driving the white clouds across the blue, and to feel the great earth revolving under me — for if you lie long enough you can really get the sense of sailing through space. ~Elisabeth Woodbridge, "On Taking One's Dessert First," The Jonathan Papers, 1912
Good Morning and may God's favor shine in your smile today and everyday! Sermons on TV watched and headed to watch more on the internet. What a glorious day the Lord has made! I love sharing scripture with my kids and grandkids. That is the legacy that I want to leave them.
So whatever your passion is, be sure you are sharing it with the world. Because you never know who is watching you and what you do every day. Or listening to what you say. Or reading your text. Look at it from a different perspective!
I hope you are smiling! Blessings and Hugs are coming your way. Thanks for being there for me and so many others in your life!
Come on over and stay a while. It is hot already! Yes, we are supposed to hit 100 today! I have already watered both sides of the house and the front yard. Hubby is working on straightening the scalloped bricks that border the flower bed in front. Plants are trying to push them over. Always something and for the most part, we love it!
I think I will head back out and trim on a tree for a while. I like making a mess and waiting for Hubby to clean it up. Again, you are invited over any time. There are always projects to be done. I did see a hummingbird getting a drink this morning so I still need to make the water fountain for them. So many things to do... so little time!
And don't forget all your dogs are welcome to come too and have a playdate while you are here helping us with a project or 10. Can't wait to see you!
A good day to you and hope all is well with you and yours. Summer weather is here for us with the temps in the high 90's - low 100's. Feel sorry for those who are having the drought and wildfires with extremely high temps. Wishing you a good weekend and wonderful new week. Take care.....George
I am starting with an afternoon greeting since I started this yesterday. Life! Today is the first day of the rest of your life so, let's make the most of it! Put your energy into enjoying God and looking for the good that can still be found on this earth. Use your gifts to shine His light into all the places He leads you.
And right along with that is to share your smile. Be kind to everyone because you never know how heavy the cross is that they are carrying.
Tell me something... Did you see that moon last night? If so we were both looking at it maybe even at the same time.
So here we are on Friday and the weekend is about to begin. Thanks for always being my friend and visiting me. Know that Blessings and Hugs are always coming your way from me and I will always be here for you! Nancy, sure hope you had fun shopping for vegetables.
Well,we made it to mid week so far and hope your week is doing good for you. Hope your not having some of the bad weather going on. Have a enjoyable rest of week............George
A cloudy day with temps in the 70's and maybe afew rain drops might fall from the sky. A very nice day I would say.
Enjoying a nice cup of Folgers Vanilla Biscotti flavored coffee at the moment. My how I like having any type of biscotti to dip in my coffee. Such a treat anytime. Our nice and friendly family grocery store makes them fresh almost every day. Do have a glorious Wed in your area and will do the same here in my neck of the woods. Smiles Gloria
Finally got all the mail opened yesterday. Caught up with everyone on the phone after I got home. Then today we ran errands, Lowe's, Home Depot, Costco, gas, Ace Hardware, pick up prescription, Tacos from Rosa's.
After eating lunch, it feels like nap time. We had a little quick shower while we were running errands but I don't think our house got any. But that's OK because yesterday we had 2.4" of rain.
Guess I had better go check on the flower pots kids and see if anyone needs watering or water poured out. I have to get moving before I fall asleep. Besides, I need to see what you have been doing lately!
No sunshine for we have fog today. Crazy weather! Wonderful though for we did get some rain yesterday morning for awhile. Wow what a sight that was to see and smell the rain coming down . It was wonderful standing in it for abit. Yes I am a kid at heart even at my special age.
I am enjoying some Island coconit coffee from Green Mountain along with some coconut creamer from Coffee Mate on this beautiful Tuesday. Gee I sure do know how to spoil myself dont I. Ha Ha and why not! Do have a special day doing the same, please. Smiles Gloria
May you have a very special Monday day as you do your household duties and enjoy also outdoors of summer. I know I sure will as I get the laundry done and the dustbunnies in control once more.
Going to enjoy the out if doors as much as I can with a cup of coffee and or tea in one hand and a book in another. Smiles Gloria
I can't say we got rain yet today but the sidewalk is damp. The next 10 days hold a bit of a chance in them and what a Blessing that is for us in July in Texas. Tomorrow will be my last day of work at Edward Jones for a while (until Tisha needs some days of vacation again). I truly love working there with and for Kelly even though it puts me behind getting something done at home.
Yesterday I got a plant put in a pot and moved to the front sidewalk. It was a very humid day and after a couple hours outside, I could smell myself. But the Strawberry plant with babies hanging all around got the babies put next to a new pot for them to take root and the table got somewhat cleaned off.
Just look at all the different colors of this rose as it blooms. It needs both sunshine and rain to accomplish all this. So be sure to share your smile each and every day with everyone you encounter and it will be returned to you 10 fold. I'll see you in a couple of days! Especially with the help of a certain fairy that keeps disappearing.
Good day to you and wishing a happy weekend for you. Nice weather here and rain coming in for next week. We've been plagued with some of the Sahara dust the last few days. Woke up to a warm house Thursday morning . Thought the AC was gone being about 20 years old but the AC guy got it going and so far it's doing fine. Going to break down and get a new unit this fall when it cools down.....Have a great week and take care......George
