Our 4 dogs were very glad we came back home from our trip. Hubby checked on them a bunch while we were gone on our cams.
Today I went to pick up the Edward Jones ladies. Tisha will be 35 tomorrow and we took her to lunch today at Salt Grass.
Then I had to stop at Tuesday Morning and Hobby Lobby before my car would come home. I don't really have any room on the fence but aren't they pretty!
And I'm hoping that Hubby can find a way to drill a hole in the top of this beautiful blue fish (there is already a hole in the bottom) so I can use it to make a hummingbird bird bath. Do you have any suggestions on how to drill a hole in ceramic?
So now I need to pay a few bills for the first of the month. Can you believe June is almost over?
How are you? I hope life smiles at you today ... Here I send you this sensational flower, which I hope you like. Happy Tuesday!!! Many kisses and a big hug.
Julie and I have been best friends for over 45 years and the four of us, best friends, for about 40. Needless to say, a fun time was had by all!
They love to cook and we all love to eat. Went out to a really great Mexican Food restaurant too. Even came home with frozen food from their freezer.
They work in their yard even more than we do and it is just beautiful. Pink the standard poodle is the best behaved dog in the world. She loves posing for pictures.
They have about 60 koi fish in the pond their kids built for them. It was their second pond built as the first one at their other house was much smaller.
Well, I must get back to putting stuff away and cleaning up around here. I just want you to know how much I have enjoyed reading all the comments while we were gone.
WOW NANCY, HOT DOGS AND FRENCH FRIES, SOUND GRET. WISHI HAD A BARBECURE SOULD DO THE HOT DOGS ON THAT. LOVE IT. HOPE YOU HAVE A NICE THURSDAY NANCY. TAKE CARE. BIG HUGS, MOE
I have lost track of time. I think it was Sunday when we mowed the yard and we got the 3' tall area where the standing water finally dried up. Then on Monday we trimmed the 2 Vitex trees and had 3 BIG wheelbarrow loads of limbs that we dumped in the carport to cut up later.
We also cut about 10 big limbs off a tree in the front side and left them there because a cool front was due to blow in.
It was an extremely hot humid day and we were tired and sore too. So today we got the limbs cut up as we had to bundle our bulk in 3x3x3' with twine and call to have it picked up on our trash day. We don't have bulk pick up, per say, as they send another truck for that and we are limited to only 4 bundles. We have 10 bundles today.
As the cool front came through, we had a BIG gust of wind that blew the big gate Hubby made years ago inside out.
It busted out the wood that part of the latch was attached to and we had to repair that. It also blew over one of my 4 cement birdbaths. Just knocked the top upside down on the ground. Friends lost roof shingles, we haven't even checked that yet.Now, for the College World Baseball Series update. Sunday evening my Longhorns lost. Today they won. So we will play again on Thursday evening.
Nancy, you find the most beautiful pictures and graphics. Love the Sunday one!
And just in case I haven't shared enough pictures yet, I'll leave you with one more. My yard at night!
THANK YOU NANCE FOR YOUR WISHES, VERY WARM UP HERE ON THE WEST COAST AND NO RAIN IN SIGHT AT ALL. HOPING NOT TO GET THE FORET FIRES LIKE WWE USUALLY GET. HOPE YOUR sUDNAY WAS A GOOD ONE AND HAVE A NICE NEW WEEK.
We went to the car show this morning and yes, it was quite warm. But there were lots of beauties, old and newer. The time it takes to build and keep them shining takes pure dedication. After that we stopped to visit a friend that lived in the area. After that I took Hubby home before I headed to WalMart to pick up a few groceries and some craft things to build my hummingbird bird bath.
After all, Saturday is Bath Day! Have you had your bath today? After looking at cars we had melted down and looked like we had just finished our bath. Starting today there are 2 college baseball games a day for the World Series. So I am headed off to watch TV.
Well, are you getting ready for the weekend? Are you ready to relax? Will you be working in the yard? Or is it just another day? Today is the day the Lord has blessed us with for sure!
Whatever your plans are and wherever the Lord leads you, I hope you laugh and share your smile with everyone. After all, laughter is the best medicine! I have been crossing off things on my "to do" list today but have a few more to go.
So I am sending Blessings and Hugs and Kisses too! Enjoy your day and I hope you get everything checked off all your lists today and find some time to relax and play!
Nancy, I love the colors in the picture you sent. I am trying to get back to reading but my droopy eye lid doesn't help!
Good morning friends, I want to tell you that I will be away for a few days ... I can finally visit the family! I wait for you on the way back. Happy weekend .... kisses
HI NANCY, SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAD A GREAT RELAXING DAY. MINE HAS BEEN ABOUT THE SAME AND NOW TRYING TO GET SOME READING DONE. SURE HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD THURSDAY AND LOOK FORWARD TO THE WEEKEND. HUGS MOE
I hope it is a mystical, magical Wednesday for you and me! Who knows what the day will bring. I've already been to Rockwall to get gas in my car (lines were not too long at Costco unlike yesterday afternoon) and Braums for milk (they are a local business out of Oklahoma that only has stores within a certain radius that the trucks can deliver daily). We buy A2 Milk from them as they have the only certified A2 herd in the U.S. "Google" A2 milk. It works great for people that are lactose intolerant or at least it makes a big difference for me as far as not making mucus.
Yesterday I did a zoom call and it was a virtual tour of Pompei, Italy with a great tour guide. They are still discovering things buried in the volcanic ash. This is the third tour as we have already been to Venice and Barcelona. Hubby and I also met a friend for lunch. Diann and I exchanged things we had for each other. I had bought her some vitamins she couldn't find, NAC that she paid me for, and she gave me some cuttings from Airplane plant, Hoya, and Chocolate mint. The airplane and hoya that I had originally shared with her died in our freeze this year. So now I am off to pot plants and watch the hummingbirds because I have already made food, cleaned feeders and refilled feeders today.
I am working on making several different hummingbird fountain birdbaths. I will put the links to a couple that I think we can build. Robbie has a BUNCH of awesome videos to make these!

Besides, no telling who I need to share a smile with today!
A new baby was born at the Fort Worth zoo. The herd grew by 6'2". What a wonderful day Monday was! It was fun to celebrate Kay's birthday with friends and to visit. Then after watering most of my plants (you heard me right, water plants) because the extreme heat had them hanging their heads and after I sweat down completely, I came in and called my dear friend in Canada, Gloria.
As you can tell, we played on our Alexa Echo Show, on Messenger Video and on Zoom. I was showing her the different backgrounds I have in Zoom to use. Then it was time for the last Super Regional baseball game. Now the 8 teams are going to Omaha and playoffs for the #1 Champion of 2021 begin on June 19th.
In memory of my first friend, Cricket, on "the hill" who loved dolphins and has been having a Woo Hoo party with Jesus for many years now, I will send you Blessings & Hugs!
