Hello Moe, how are you doing? Sorry I didn't get to you over the weekend. Time just got away from me. My first week of vacation is almost over already. Have yet to get anything accomplished, been so very hot here. Sure hope you haven't been having a heat wave like us. It got up to 115 for a couple of days. Now you know I do like the heat but that is a little ridiculous. My swamp cooler isn't working very well and was just blowing hot air in by the afternoons. Just had to turn it off as it was 100 in the here. Poor animals were all laying around panting. Thankfully it is cooling back down in the 90's which is much more tolerable. My portable swamp cooler died at the end of last summer and of course everywhere I went to get a new one last week were all sold out. I do have one on order and it should arrive either today or tomorrow.
Anyway, not really much else going on. Just that the time is going by way too fast. I really need to get with it and get some projects done. Now that it isn't quite as hot maybe I can get busy.
What about you? Have you been doing anything fun lately? Hopefully you are getting out and about on occasion. Well, guess I will close for now. Hopefully I will get back on here in a few days. I would also like to change out my page if I can find a good background that I like. You take care of yourself and enjoy the rest of your week~~~ love and hugs debijo
For many the long weekend has started. I can hardly wait to hear all the things you are doing for this US holiday and how you spent your extra day off. For us nothing will be different except trying to calm our four scared dogs as the fireworks go boom.
We have already been to visit friends. Our kids are in Mexico visiting and vacationing. Our adopted family is out of town looking at property for their real estate business.
Yesterday late afternoon we heard thunder and saw lightning. We got a small shower or two but not much rain. Then we woke up this morning to rain. It didn't quit until mid afternoon today. So we ended up with 1-1/2" of rain total. Boy, is it humid. Hard to breathe. Hope your weather is just perfect for the weekend.
Debi, isn't if funny how mid 90's are tollerable after 115? We both know that even 90's are too hot for Oregon. When our kids lived there and we were visiting, we overheard a Mom say, "It is almost 80. Let's go because it is getting too hot!"
Share that smile and try to behave this holiday weekend!
hot and rainy here.. country rds were flooded but finally reopened as waters went down..I had copd flareup and on 3 new meds and breathing easier now. Hope you are staying cool and well!
Another busy day around here. We just got back from the eye glass doctor. She changed his prescription from when he saw her 6 weeks ago. His Glaucoma doctor recommended this Pediatric Ophthalmologist because of the prism in his glasses and his slanted, double vision. Then she recommended this Optical place because they have a lab on-site and are good with prisms in glasses.So for the last 6 weeks he hasn't had glasses that work for him. We have hope again now.
It is so humid outside that it is hard to catch your breath. Yesterday scattered showers left us with 4/10" rain and because of clouds around the temperatures aren't too high, just humid.
I think I forgot to tell you my Longhorns lost Saturday night. Tonight we will watch the final college baseball game to see who the winner is for this year.
I feel like I have missed a week with visiting friends in Lubbock and running errands since we got back. Thanks again for keeping me posted on your life and for sharing your smile with others. I'll check on you again soon!
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.
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. And just in case I haven't shared enough pictures yet, I'll leave you with one more. My yard at night!
Success is to wake up each morning and consciously decide that today will be the best day of your life. When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love – then make that day count
BLESSINGS AND HAPPINESS ON THIS MONDAY MORNING HAVE A FANTASTIC NEW WEEK
