Hello there my friend. How are you doing? I've gotten all my housework done except for vacumming which I will get done soon. Its a cloudy day here with a chance of rain later. I sure hope we get some as its been hot and dry here. Just wanting to let you know that I won't be on here tomorrow thru the weekend as we will be out of town. I have a doctors appointment out of town. So I will be back on here on Monday. Have a nice rest of your week and take care. Hugs, Cheryl
By now, most of you really know me. I am so very BLESSED and I love sharing SMILES. So I have a story for you. Yesterday, we went to Valvoline to get the car inspected because we enjoy being able to stay in the car while they do it and /or while they change the oil. Well, after 40 minutes of waiting, we pulled in and they said their computer or machine for inspections was down.
We didn't get flustered as we really have more time than we do money! We just smiled and told them not to worry, we have until the end of the month. So we called a local, very trustworthy place we used to use a lot and they could do the inspection in about 20 minutes. It takes almost that long to get halfway through Rockwall especially with the traffic. We went inside to sit when they took our car. We began talking to a young man who came in behind us about his Dodge SRT. We love fast cars!!! Hubby asked if it was around 800 horsepower (most cars are 200-250, Kelly's vet is around 600) and he said no... it is 1000 horsepower !!! So we teased him about the cost of gas to drive it now. He told us that the best thing he ever did was to buy his mom a house in Fate. Then he looked at me and told us that he had recently given his life to Christ. What a blessed conversation we had with him. His name is Rashard Higgins and he was a Wide Receiver for the Cleveland Browns for about 5 years and now he is with the Carolina Panthers. As I was writing a "Be Uniquely You" note card to mail to him, I looked down at my Christian T-Shirt (I have about 30 to choose from that I wear daily), I realized why he shared his love for God. What a blessing it is to share a smile, start up a conversation, and send a card to others and also of the blessing I received in return. Now I know why God delayed our inspection 40 minutes and had us go to a different location!
Another miserable hot day here with 100* feeling like 108*, I said when winter was here I wan't going to gripe about the summer heat. I can deal with the heat better than the cold, but this is worse than usual for us. So I'll be in the house under the AC and my iced tea.
I hope you've had a good day and have a good night. Sorry for the late comment, it's been a busy and HOT day here! I've sent this picture out before, it's a picture of my garden tub in my bathroom. I love to light the candles, add the calgon and just soak. That's where I was earlier and now I feel a lot better! lol
Good afternoon my friend. Its been a busy day here. Just now getting my laundry done. I got home just a little bit ago from going to see my son and his girlfriend, went out to eat with them and then went to Walmart. I need a nap but I don't think I'm going to have time for one. I hope you are having a good day and it isn't to hot for you. Take care my friend, hugs, Cheryl
It feels like summer has been here since late May and here it is the first day! A few years ago in 2011 we had 71 days of 100° weather in the DFW area. But in 1980 they had 42 consecutive 100° days. I hope we don't break either of those records. I am getting too old for this stuff.
I am thinking about, and trying to motivate myself to run errands. I need my car inspected and registration sticker before the month is done. And of course, it is Taco Salad Tuesday for us at Rosa's. Besides, I really need to get out and share a smile with others. Hope you will do the same.
Even though it is a Federal Holiday, it is the start of another week and for us ten days of over 100° with as high as 105°coming our way.
I finally got nails put on as I guess I was letting them rest! I decided on my favorite color as I will change them again before the 4th of July.
We ate BBQ with the kids and lots of wonderful cold salads, (pea salad, spiral pasta salad, potato salad) and spent time with the girls. Michelle showed me her garden, SunFlower, cucumber, watermelon, lettuce, and spinach... and her growing chickens too.
Then last night, when I went out to check out the sunset to take a picture, I spotted our Jack Rabbit. I got four videos over 30 seconds of each of him in our carport area. I hope your Father's Day Sunday was a blessed one too! Enjoy this last day of Spring.
Hello Pal, it was a hot busy weekend here but no more bad thunderstorms at least. Another snake though and this time a venomous one, a Florida Cottonmouth. So glad hubby spotted him in time. Sounds like y'all had a good Fathers Day. I noticed Yellowstone was showing old episodes yesterday. I've had Night Sky on my Prime watchlist for weeks now. No, you had not mentioned it before. I started it last night and you're right, it's quite good. I've always been a Sissy Spacek fan. Love her Southern accent too. The guy who plays her husband is really good too. We had an event on Saturday that we attended it was a gender reveal party for our nephew and his GF. I had never been to one of those kind of things before. Anyway it was held outside and it was super hot but they had large fans and tents set up and cold drinks so it wasn't unbearable. The food and company were nice. Yesterday was church then shopping for groceries. I made Hubby a nice steak dinner with baked potatoes and green beans in the air fryer. (our new favorite way for all veggies, it seems) Hope your week has gotten off to a good start. I've been outside hanging laundry early before it gets so miserable. huggies, Beth
So proud of the Father my son is to his girls and of my DIL for being an awesome Mom to them too. Hope each of you will have a Blessed day today and Sunday.
Have fun because you never know what tomorrow will bring. George, Kyle Kid, has 5-6 months. He has an awesome outlook and takes each day as it comes. He loves Jesus and is looking forward to seeing Judy, his wife for over 60 years, who passed away last September again soon.
Good afternoon my friend. Got all my housework done and sitting here writing comments by the air conditioner. its99* here and a little breezy. My tomatoes and cucumbers are growing but not putting out any blooms yet. I think its just to hot for them. I keep them watered and they look good. Hopefully they will do something soon. Well take care and stay cool and hydrated. hugs, Cheryl
I know those of you on the East and the West coasts have a reprieve from this heat, but at 10:30 am we are nearing a "feel like" of 100°. I made it outside to water plants and looked just like the picture above by the time I was finished.
So now that I have cooled a bit under the ceiling fan in the computer room and combed my hair. I thought I would check and see how you are doing this Friday.
I hope you and your friends are gathering for the long weekend and have a plan to stay cool and to have a fun party time in the old town. We are excited after 3 days with no softball (it is over) or baseball, there are 2 college baseball games today and tomorrow. So I will check on you later!
