Good morning, Hazy dreary day going to be 87 today, I should do some yard work but not in the heat, might do a little this morning, I will fill the bird bath with fresh water and fill the feeders, we need rain, but none is forcast, water the plants too.I have 3 tomato plants hoping to at least get some fresh tomatos..this year . I miss my garden.
I have about 3/4 of the garden quilt quilted...Havent played much with the new machine,,too much house to do...I did a lot yesterday. today another bathroom will get done...I still have 11 windows to do. MOst in the sunroom. In order to do that room I need to move out all the plants and furniture,,,it takes all day....Ken has been busy putting his man cave back together after the leaky ice maker...it is always something,,,I have a load of goodwill/salvation army to do. most of it Ken clothes he had a lot to begin with since he never gets rid of clothing,,,but finally I got him to get going on the stuff he will never wear again and stuff that was just old too...
I guess I will have to drag him shopping,,,Cabela's usually suits him maybe a road trip.
Well Im off to get coffee and start this new adventure,,,Hope you have some adventure in your life todayXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Good morning,

We are suppose to be warm today I have wash going bed made I have some cleaning that needs my attention so today that will be it.

I want to sew but I have to clean and that's the bottom line.

Judi I miss a garden but it's to much work and we don't want to invest the time besides everything seems to be ready at the same time and not enough people to give them to.

Well that's all the news from here.
Have a great day.
Prayers to all.
Lois

Good morning!

Hazy day. Humm, isn't there a song about the lazy, hazy days of summer? Well, it's not officially summer yet, but I can sure do lazy!

Not much here. Daniel's home from California but still needs a run back to get his new toy. It's all loaded on his trailer, but Sandee's truck broke, before he went, so he took his jeep. Didn't want to haul this heavy load back over Donner with the jeep. So will head back down again, after the truck is fixed. Sandee's truck is going to the shop on Friday. The truck has had a issue with a unknown parasitic drain on the electrical system, that Daniel hasn't been able to find and this caused other issues, so off to the shop.

Heading down to the happy place, the Batt Cave in a few minutes. Kind of spinning my wheels down there. Not getting the progress I was hoping for, but still keep trying. There's a road block that lives in this house!

Hugs,
Jana

Good Rainy Morning

88* yesterday, 67* today..... Welcome to Minnesota!!

Judi....Hope you can sneak in a little time to play with your new machine--maybe set a timer for an hour and go play... then go back to housework?

Lois... Same rule for you... set a timer for an hour and go sew--the house work will always be there when the hour is up!

Maryz... Yes, I see frogging in my future! Good idea to prop open the d/w when I'm gone--might keep it from getting stinky! These new dishwashers don't dry dishes anymore so it stays wet inside for a long time. Why do sewing machines have the Cyrillic alphabet!! My Elna has that too! Sounds like you are ready for L & L to arrive? Is their RV at your house or will you go pick that up after they arrive.

Jana..... Is your haze maybe from the fires in Canada? I got an air quality warning on my Alexas this morning.

Lori.... Are your Dad's slides all in those round carousels? Or the skinny boxes? We found so many of those after my Dad passed. I took the skinny boxes and decorated them with felt and beads and lace and gave them to all my siblings (they wanted to just throw them away). The round carousels I decorated and make Christmas decorations out of them with pine and flower picks. The middle of them will hold a small pillar candle. I think I have one in my stuff in the garage! So there's an idea for your next craft project!

Chriss...That's good news isn't it? That nothing shows up on the echo? Your Dad is going to help you with the micro right? I don't use mine a lot, but it's handy to have it above the stove and not taking up space on the counter.

No real plan for the day. This afternoon the gal that I made all the pencil cases for is stopping by ---she has a little sewing project she needs help with and insists on paying me! She's bringing me some coffee beans from the Honduras, where she goes on mission trips.
So I better go tidy up before she comes--lots of little things out of place!

Wishing you joy in your day!

Good morning. It is a beautiful day today, we should see the high 80's, low 90's.

Today is already turning out to be wonderful. Laundry is done and hanging on the line. Parents will be here this morning and dad will install my microwave, and I take stepmom to get her hair done. On the way home I will pick up some sandwiches for a late lunch, early dinner and have a meal with my parents. It's just a great start to a great day. Especially when just a couple of weeks ago I was very concerned about my health, things have improved greatly.

Judi, Hope those tomato plants produce tons of tomatoes. I have 5 regular tomato plants and two cherry. Each plant has at least one tomato and one plant has a tomato turning pinkish heading towards red. That one will be chilled, cut up and I'll add a little cheese and tomato, yum! Happy clothes shopping.

Lois, I agree about things being ready at the same time in a garden. I planted things at different times hoping I will have things through the summer. Fingers crossed. I will join you in a little housework this morning. I just need to do that stinking dusting.

Maryz, nice to have help with the yard gardening. My so called yard can be overwhelming at times. I have almost convinced my self to start hiring out the weed eating. We will see how I feel next year. Hope the kids things arrive and fit nicely into the spot you have reserved for them.

Jana, ugh, those road blocks. Mine is more of a speed bump and has 4 paws. Not sure what I would do without him. Go play in your cave, something will strike your attention and you will have a fun day.

Maryq, Yes, dad will install my microwave. When my microwave died I bought a decent sized toaster oven/air fryer/broiler thing at Costco. I do miss my microwave and see how I would use both. Treasure those coffee beans, I just paid $17 for a big can of folgers at Costco

I need a quick breakfast and to go see if my laundry is done on the line. I will dust and clear off any kitchen counters dad might need so he has plenty of room to work. When the parents go home I will package up the hamburger and rotisserie chicken I bought at Costco.

I never did make that hamburger yesterday so I will definitely cook up the meat today, probably use it in a taco salad tomorrow.

You girls have a marvelous day.
Chriss
