Good Morning to all...been in the kitchen already, going up to MI to our sons house today, I am taking the dinner...ham, sweet potatoes, green beans from the garden, potato salad and rolls...with Rice Krispie treats as I have so many marshmallows left from camping trips that got might sticky but don't want to toss them out, LOL...

Was not feeling that great yesterday morning so for the whole day I did not get dressed, watched Netflix, did my PT and just tried to regroup...feeling better this morning, some days you just have to lounge, especially at my age, LOL...Hubby picked more green beans so tomorrow I will be getting those ready for the freezer, no complaints from me, sit on the couch and break them up, so I have plenty of corn and green beans in my freezer for winter...Hoping to go buy some tomatoes this week to can, make juice and stewed tomatoes...

Well hubby is up got to get moving...have a great day one and all.

Good morning.
Wish I could say I felt better. Have not heard from the Drs office as yet. At least today I'm not walking into walls. But my stomach feels like there's a rock in it. If I hold out til tomorrow, perhaps I can call in and see my own doctor, not one in ER that won't know my medical history. Last time I saw a doctor that wasn't mine, he gave me a prescription I shouldn't be getting.
We should be getting 102° today, few clouds up there, but nothing promising rain.
No real plans for today. E wants to get frozen dinners and whatnot at the grocery syore today. I don't feel like accompanying him this time.
Another day of lounging for me, but it's not all that pleasant.

Have a good day. 😊

Hope today is better for you.

Good Morning, nothing planned for today, guess tomorrow we are BBQing. Called my "baby" brother for his b-day, actually I called him twice and he called me back. Molly and I are the only ones up, she is busy throwing rocks and has now decided she wants out, must want a different rock, she loves them.

Have a great day everyone.

Oh, Jo With this being a holiday weekend I hope you do hear from your own doctor. Sharon when you said ham my mouth watered! Have not had ham since last winter! Jon is off today so I am hoping to at least get the paint can off the counter in the kitchen..been there for weeks. Everyone in this house has slowed to a crawl I fear. Andrew had a blast yesterday. Three little boys were actually in the pool and ran their boats. it was a great day in spite of the cold with the sun shining and wonderful conversation. Although we never did set any dates for Christmas or the family side trips. No date for the Yule Cabin yet and we need kids to take vacation days to just get a Saturday or Sunday off. Deciding family vacation looks like a problem ..I hate to give them up since I think they keep the cousins and kids close especially with the family losing weekends and holidays etc because of work. AND the entire family always loves them so much but suddenly they are pulling in different directions so they may be coming to an end. My sister seemed disappointed with the way vacation was heading also. It is what it is and it is certain that I cannot shoot a rapid or climb a rock nor do I want to sit in a cold river. I lean more to the finer things in life like a tropical beach and drinks being put into my hand! My darling granddaughter is stirring and she posted something on fb I need to understand. 'Yesterday was the best day of her life and I finally felt like my old self again'? Now what the hell is going on? I was unaware we were persecuting her or making her miserable. I do not know what she wants in life but I no longer have the energy to go on an emotional roller coaster with her. I just do not know anything other than she is making me much older than my years....well for today the heat will start back up for a couple of days and I may just tell the dermatologist to sit on it and find a place in the sun. I need sun on my head!!! Hope you all have family gatherings and great things to do today. Quiet around here with maybe a tad of depression on the side.

Maxie that is right, like the Zac Brown band sings, "I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer(drink) in my hand". Will also be interested to hear what is going on with the grandgirl of yours, LOL...

Good morning! I am almost ready and that means just needing to check in with all of you. I have been taking the ginger capsules and hope that helps keep the vertigo at bay. Our smokey skies are back and the windows closed up again. The night time temps are in the 70's and it would be nice to be out in the morning and also have the doors and windows open, but not in this air.
church this morning and then Becky wants to bake some sugar cookie bars and use the Mexican vanilla beans I bought We use Mexican vanilla all the time. It has a stronger flavor and is so good. I buy it through Amazon since my neighbors do not go down to Mexico anymore. My mother tells all her friends going n Mexican cruises to buy some...
Speaking of my mom, her thumb on the left hand that she broke last winter is now not working at all and gives her pain out of the blue. So, another surgery will be needed and this time it will have to be out of town. I wonder if they ever ask her if she has a way to get to these appointments they set up...She barely drives across town (3 miles) once a month She said something about talking to my brother who said he would fly in and take her if she couldn't get anyone else! I texted him to tell him we would work it out and by his response he either didn't really say that or thought better of talking to me about it. I know they say they appreciate all I do for our mother, but they are both way too far away to really have the pressure. I can't retire until Becky is out of college so it will be a couple of years...
I sound like I am complaining when I should be counting my blessings!
Sharon, I am with Maxie: that ham sounds delicious! How close of a drive is it to your son's?
Spencer called and told me they had a Sneek Peek at the boys' school.. They go and meet the teachers and see the other kids who are in the class and (and tis is the Awesome part!) they get their box of supplies the parents can order at the end of the previous year and put everything away and be ready for the first day. No more running around for the supplies on the long list the school sends out. Last year Nikki sent me pictures of them trying to find items and the shelves in Target bare!
Ok, I better go collect my hymnbook and check which hymns I scheduled for today...I have a big binder style hymnbook which makes it easier to read and to set the book on the music stand...but my eyes are getting bad enough that I still need to wear my glasses if I don't know all the words I am seriously considering printing off some of the pages in larger print so I don' t have to wear my readers up front. Not about how they look, but how they make me dizzy trying to look down to read the verse and t hen look up to lead the congregation...ugh! One Sunday I actually just took them off and faked the words . There were only a few that I kind of slid into as I heard the congregation singing. But I had to hold onto the stand because I got so dizzy looking up and down...
Enough, it all sound slike I am whining. Sorry.
Hope you all have a good, comfy day with family and friends and enjoy the rest of this 3 day weekend! I have labor planned tomorrow...

The ham was a smaller sliced Kentucky Legend ham and it was delicious....its about an hour drive to our sons house...as for the vertigo, must be the season for you and Jo.

Good Morning! The sun is trying to peek thru the dense clouds. I need some sunshine. These cloudy days are sapping my energy.

Yesterday was good nevertheless. Baked pies, delivered pies, then we went to a couple garage sales. First one was good, but the second one which was listed as an estate sale with a big ole ad in the local papers was a bust. It was a garage sale with a bunch of old stuff. Bet they spent more on the ad than they made.

Came home and started baking cookies. Got 3 kinds of dough baked off, then made the tray of cookies that was ordered. My cookie supply is dwindling. Things should start slowing down this next week, and I should be able to start refilling my supply of cookies. Mopped the floor and called it quits for the day.

This morning we went to church & SS. Now normally I'd bake off one round of pies before we left, but I was hesitant to even pre-make them & have them in the refrig. They only had 5 left from yesterday. He still wants 10 for tomorrow, so that's what I'm doing now. The crusts have to thaw a bit before I can fill them. Also making an apple pie for our picnic this afternoon and one for Sue. Picked up corn on the cob and some tomatoes for the picnic. I got off easy for a change, but normally I do most of the cooking. Kathy is actually coming for the picnic, but that means she wants something. Hmmmmm....isn't that terrible to think that way about your own child.

Have a good one all!
