Left house at 9:30 this morning and it was 1 pm before I got back with groceries. Whew! What fun is shopping. Do you enjoy it. I used to love it and I guess I really did enjoy it but I was sweating by the time I got home and most everything put up.
Then it was time for lunch and some computer fun. I hope I don't even have to go out to water plants because it is just too hot. Is it hot where you are?
Just so you know, when I was out and about shopping at WalMart and Costco and whatever else I shopped, I was smiling and trying to be nice to everyone. As soon as I get off the Hill, I am going to read my kindle because I have a great Christian series by Liz Isaacson that I am enjoying! I Can't wait to find out what you have been doing.
Just came in from being on patrol outside and can't take another step!
Always on patrol inside.
So, after 3 hours of sermons on TV. What are you doing on this Blessed Sunday? I go to the computer room and visit with friends who make me smile! Thanks for sharing your smile!
Where oh where did this week go? And in just 10 more days the month will be over! What the heck have I been doing all month and what did I get accomplished?
All I really know is that I have NOT missed a meal. OK, the other thing I know is that the hot temperatures are back! Our dew point has been 76-79 all week. Who was it that said our humidity probably isn't as bad here (DFW) as it is where they live?
Let the weekend begin. Tell me, do you have plans? My plans are to survive all this stuff going on right now. So the party is at our house. Come on over. But don't forget to bring your smile.
We are getting lots of rain... lots! So as I get on my new, fast, beautiful Orange iMac to look for a rain picture... this one comes up... OK, all dressed up... however I am still in my nighty today. Hubby has been to town twice and I have been doing ??? something in here... Oh, I erased the old computer of all my stuff and reinstalled the operating system and it is now ready for my son to pick up.
So I guess this is as dressed up as I will get today since it is already mid afternoon. I can hardly wait to find out what you have been doing. We had several showers the last 3 days. They were all light with no wind or storms and each one was only a tenth or two. Today is pouring down.
So how about we just play dress up? We could show off our fancy clothes to each other. And as some of you know, I really don't cook much. So after we get all dressed up, we will have to get out in the rain to go somewhere to eat and show ourselves off.
So now I'm off to dig through my closet and see if I can find something other than T-shirts and denim. Hubby said as he was leaving a store today, he encountered a Vet with a Service Dog. He told him what a beautiful dog he had. The Vet said thank you. As Hubby noticed his Veteran cap, he said, No, thank you for your service. The Vet said that means a lot, especially today. So again, I ask you to share your smile because you never know what the other person is going through. I hope I put a smile on your face!
Yippee Yahoo! What a blessed day I am having. My doctor saw the amount of movement I have on the right side of my face above the eye and said he expects 100% movement to be returned within the year. He was very pleased with the healing and that it was benign. I do use a combination of 3 essential oils that I inhale and rub over the right side of my face, ear and neck.
I just finished mowing our 3/4 acre yard and it is beautiful now. I am ready for another shower should it choose to happen to rain right on top of us!
And of course, I am blessed by your friendship. Friends mean the world to me. Doesn't matter how often we text or post or email or call, what matters is in your mind and on your heart. Share your smile always!
Hello friends! We watched all of our online church services and now we are watching some of the little league baseball playoffs. We ended up with 1.3" of rain from yesterday. Just perfect! One extra loud clap of thunder rattled the windows and scared Hubby and the dogs (they were all taking a nap).
Monday, tomorrow, I go for my 4 month checkup since I had the cyst removed from in front of my right ear. I will let you know how it goes. I still can't believe that after my surgery visit he said, "See you in 4 months."
It is time for our luncheon meal of the day. Today is Ribeye steak and french fries in coconut oil in the deep fryer with probably fresh spinach steamed. Come on over, but you better hurry because there won't be much left very soon!
Worked inside first thing this morning and then went outside. I have already sweated down twice. Don't know how Hubby does it! It is so humid and the dew point is way too high which makes it worse.
Yesterday Carly had a playdate with Bella, an Australian shepherd. They had so much fun. Bella came to meet all four of our dogs. She is probably going to stay a week in September with us.
My son just called on FaceTime and the front has made it to his house (about an hour from us) and it is pouring down rain. He said the wind started blowing and the temperature dropped about 10 degrees. I can hardly wait for it to get here. My friends in Lubbock got 2.5" last night.
I set up my new iPad about 2 weeks ago and almost have my new 24" ORANGE iMac set up the way I want it. Now I am off to find something for lunch. Don't forget to share your smile with everyone you see today.
Work was super busy yesterday and that is just the way I like it. Makes the day go by so fast! And I love helping my boss and clients so much!
Thanks so much for stopping by while I couldn't get here to visit with you. It means the world to me. Hubby is outside treating the posts on the gate and then going to trim the Juniper tree at the mailbox because the mail truck hits the lower limbs.
As soon as I am finished reading your comments I will be on my iphone with Apple and my iMac. Wish me luck with the stress of it all.
Do you remember the before gate project? The boards were rotting and splitting and so Hubby put on new boards bolted to the metal frame and all new pickets.
Didn't he do a beautiful job!?! The dogs can't get under but they can see us when we are working on the other side. AND I got one of my projects done! The bathing area for birds and hummingbirds. Now all I have to do is wait for them to find it.
So it has been a really good week. And here comes Sunday Blessings & Hugs to you!
I've already been in the computer room for over 2 hours. Where does time go? What have I gotten done? OK, three of the four dogs did sneak out of the yard as Hubby is working on rebuilding a gate with new fence pickets. Dogs are all back in and hole is secured for now we hope!
Here is the before picture. Now it may be a day or two before the project is complete and I can get an after picture. At least I have been seeing my hummingbirds lately. Yesterday evening I got a video of one around the Turk's Cap red flowers. Late evening I saw them at two of the feeders from inside the house. And earlier this morning I saw two of them challenging each other.
Enjoy today hopefully with nicer temperatures. I know our heat is coming back for the weekend and next week. But think, just another 3 months and fall will be upon us. Enjoy the summer season because winter isn't a favorite of many either.
Here we are in August already and I don't even know where the last few days have gone. I got the yard mowed Sunday afternoon. We got 8/10" rain Sunday during the night. I also got fresh Hummingbird food put out in all 3 feeders.
The flowers, bugs, birds, grass, everything is so happy today. This weekend we will be back to near 100 but we are grateful to God for all his blessings.
Don't forget to share your smile today. Now off to vacuum and mop this dirty house. Feel free to come over and help as you are always welcome here.
