It was a cool 89 today but hot if you stayed out in it too long. Think the nice breeze helped make it a nice day. Honey wanted to pull weeds and did it this afternoon - told hm he should go out at 7 when it's cooler. I had so many potatoes that needed to be used, I made potato soup - after all it's nice and cool in here. Hope you are having a good day - today had almost 14 hours of daylight Shirley! That's part of the reason I love summer - it stays light so long and is usually beautiful from 6 or so. Take care and keep cool. Hugs, Wendy
It is so HOT that fake plants are the only thing that might be alive right now. If you walk on the grass next to the driveways, it just CRUNCHES under your feet. There is no green anywhere. I hope you are having a fabulous visit with family!
Our friends have flown the coop. Ok, they are driving back to Lubbock. Just say a prayer that the doctors find out the cause of her balance problems. She just wants a solution so she doesn't end up not being able to walk.
They drove off and I just collapsed on Hubby's shoulder. I cried for a while. I already miss them so much. I used to do that everytime my son drove away. But we will see them again... until then our love will continue to grow!
Well, all 7 tests were done and they also talked to the surgeon. He is not 100% sure of the problem and doesn't want to do surgery and have her wake up and tell her that wasn't the problem. Woo Hoo for him! So they are staying another night as she has a balance test this afternoon.
As you can tell, I am excited that they are staying another night. I had so much fun yesterday with all 6 dogs. Pink is so well mannered, she won't come in or go out the door until she is given permission. Our dogs run over you!
So I am heading off now to spend more precious time with them this Friday before she has her balance therapy. Have a Blessed day and a great start to the weekend.
I hope you realize that every day is a fresh start for you. That every sunrise is a new chapter in your life waiting to be written.If we are ever to enjoy life, now is the time – not tomorrow, nor next year, nor in some future life after we have died. The best preparation for a better life next year is a full, complete, harmonious, joyous life this year. Our beliefs in a rich future life are of little importance unless we coin them into a rich present life. Today should always be our most wonderful day
It was another 94 degree day here Cheryl and another do nothing day for me. Have been tired all day but didn't get a chance to take a nap and I was up really early this morning. About the only thing I did was cook up some pork chops that had been in the fridge for a couple days. We'll have them tomorrow nite - maybe. Tonite we met up with our friends for dinner. Then went to the post with honey's BiL and his wife for a couple of drinks. I didn't even have a glass of water. I really don't drink enough liquids but never have. I did go out and get a pedicure this afternoon. It's been a long time since I last went - but I try to stretch it out as much as possible as it's expensive. No one but me and Rich see my toes anyway but I do like to treat myself every so often. I get waxed too so I guess it isn't so bad. I know you can't wait to see your daughter and grands - I wish you a safe trip there and back and enjoyable time. Till Monday then. Hugs, Wendy
After 2 bowls of Chicken & Dumplings each, we are all four very full. Then had a light dinner with maybe another bowl for at least one guest.
Before dumplings and after dumplings were added. Now this pot is at least half empty! Then came the laughter to help settle the full tummies.
They have a small dog, like our 4, and this magnificent standard Poodle, named Pink. Carly and Pink played and played and played. Everyone gets along except for eating each other's dog food. We are blessed by our best friends of almost 50 years.
Our friends have left Lubbock and are well on their way. So excited! We have been friends for close to 50 years.
There will be LOTS of laughter going on and NO suppressing it! Can't afford any more spread to hips! So now I am off to clean bathrooms! I know you are jealous! Sending Blessings & Hugs because well...
Wow Cheryl - a new dryer - that was nice of your hubby to get a new dryer - a real nice surprse for you. Hope you did some wash today after it was delivered so you could try it out! Speaking of dryers, I still have towels in mine from yesterday. We went to Costco's today with Richie's brother - he wanted to go so we went with him. He joined but we didn't. We are members of Sam's and didn't see too much difference between the two and they didn't carry cream of chicken soup and we like the kind of coffee we get from Sam's anyway - plus it's further to go! It was 89 but felt like 99 - needless to say I wasn't out in it at all. Have a good evening and sleep well. Hugs, Wendy
The front and back yards have been water; groceries purchased and put away; Taco Salads from Rosa's have been eaten; and dogs brushed. I feel a nap coming on. We have company coming tomorrow which means vacuuming, moping, bathrooms cleaned and a million other chores. If it wasn't so hot outside, when they get here, we could just sit and enjoy the sunset. Can't wait for the laughter and love to begin but until then, I hope you already have your chores done and...
It was only 88 today but had a thunderstorm later in the afternoon. Went to breakfast with Richie's brother again this morning. I'm not used to eating breakfast especially so short a time that I've been up. But it was a nice time and I got over my sugar rush! Later in the afternoon we went to Big Lots so I could buy some more washclothes. Rich also found a new griddle pan. Ours still is ok but is getting scratched up a bit Also found an inexpensive wind chime. Put clean food inthe hummer feeder and did a load of towels. They need to go in the dryer - I totally forgot about them. Also got a birthday card ready to mail for my son's birthdya which was two weeks ago. I didn't forget - I just have been lazy abotu getting it in the mail - but he should get it by the end of the week. Have a good new week and I hope the month of August will be knds to you. Hugs, Wendy
Hi Cheryl - it was a realy ice day here - plenty of sunshine and no rain - 87 for a high. I was inside and didn't do alot until I started dinner around 3. Found a roast the other day in the freezer and cooked it today along with onions and carrots. Made gravy with the juices - this has been my favorite tasting dinner since I was young and it still tastes the same. Had it with mashed potatoes and corn on the cob that a friend gave us. Now sitting here feeling fat and sassy. Hope your day went well and your weekend will be sunny and bright.
So just what are you doing this weekend? Do you have any fun plans?
I hope you make time to laugh with friends or family. Laughter, helping, kindness and love is what makes the Blessings of life. Don't you agree?
We all need to make time to help others. Sometimes it is doing something good for them. Sharing your smiles helps make others wonder if you are up to no good or just helps to put a smile on their face too.
You might even speak to a stranger, just say "Hello" and make them feel noticed, alive and important. Being kind to someone might also make them smile. You could take a drive in the evening to watch the stars come out. Whatever you do, share your Blessings with others every day.
What is up with this? Someone in Texas has been very, very bad. I sure hope it isn't me! Everyone is getting rain but Texas!
This is what it will probably look like WHEN we do get rain! I am not sure where this picture was taken and although it is beautiful, it is scary at the same time.
I know it is all in God's perfect timing. I also know we have had hot times like this before. Can you imagine what the settlers went through with no air conditioning? I am thankful for A/C and many other blessings, like it's Friday and I am sharing blessings with you!
