Daniel shut up the noisy chirp a minute ago. I do have vaulted cathedral ceilings. Main family room is 18 ft and the other places where smoke detectors are about 11 feet to the ceiling. There are 6 detectors on the main floor, one in each bedroom and literally 3 feet from the one by the bedroom door, in the hallway.. By the other bedrooms/office, there are three smoke detectors less than 6 feet between them! Who's stupid idea was that! One in each bedroom and one in the hall between them. Only one in the great room kitchen and none in the living room. The basement has only one detector for the same foot print. I think a little better planning would have been wise. So we've evicted the chirping and it's now quiet. Daniel wants to change all the batteries, but we'll see.....

Lori, I went to clean my parents house today, dad asked if I fixed the chair. I told him I couldn't get the bolt out. He said he could get it out. I told him I knew he could get it out because he wore a cape. One day dad will fix it. I also don't want to go shopping for a couch. I was looking online to see if a particular style caught my eye. Then I realized I need to sit on them before making a decision.

Jana, does Daniel use a ladder to reach the detectors? It must be some ladder. Glad the chirping won't be happening during your party. High five Daniel. I also have smoke alarms in each bedroom, in the hall, and in the dining room. Only 5 here.

Had my cardiologist appointment today. Told him I moved furniture to vacuum, he wasn't thrilled and told me that I need to take it easy. That my valve is really tight and he is surprised I don't have symptoms. Iwill sit in my chair and take it easier.

I have my cat scan on Monday morning. After that it will be a few days before the surgeon reads the scan and my insurance should, hopefully, approve the surgery and just like that, I will be good as new. The only thing I am not looking forward to is the long recovery time.

That's all I got, you have a great night.

Good morning, we will be a few degrees cooler today but all in all it will be a warm week. It's 62 now and has been in the 50's early morning. Thank you to Wills Carter who invented air conditioning!

Chriss glad you are able to help your parents out but might want to think about listening to the doctor. Think of the hand work you could do while sitting in your chair. Or you could take up knitting! Are you going to get cardiac rehab following? I wonder if Moose is still wondering where Jerry is? I would look up what a used machine costs before buying. I have a brand new still in the box Janome 1600P which is now going for around $1500. We only paid $800 for it but then I never used it. It's a straight stitch machine.

Jana wondering what your city/county/state regs say about smoke detectors in homes? We just have one but the house is small. We would have to add though if we were going to sell the house.

Lori I am still going through paperwork, a little here and little there. Tossing the stuff with no info on it and putting things with acct numbers ect in a box to take to recology to shred. Then I need to find somewhere else to put my shredder as it is blocked right now so stuff piles up. DH doesn't always think things through when he rearranges things.

Maryq I will be using the AC for the foreseeable future. Why Mother Nature decided to wait until mid August for Summer I do not know. Kids are back to school now that it is hot. Current bill is $321 which is for gas and electric. Gone are the days of $69 in the summer! Uhm wonder if it will rain while I am there? I have almost forgot what that is like.

Maryz I have always thought it would be fun to make a cathedral star quilt. I know a lady who made one completely by hand. I don't recall how long it took her but it was a long time. I will have to look up the pattern and maybe I can start one. Prayers your computer holds on for a bit. DH wants a new one.

Flo it is very difficult to deal with those with Autism and other mental disorders. You must keep yourself safe though. I think having DH around is a good idea.

Diane prayers for your upcoming appointments.

Today will likely be a sew day, probably some running around. Who knows what will come.

Have a great day.
