Going to lunch with a group of friends.....we have been friends for at least 40 years. We always have such a good time.
After lunch I have a doc's appointment.....my allergies are driving me nuts! My ear feels plugged so I can't hear very well and I get dizzy. We had had a lot of wind lately and I have been working a lot in the garden. Will probably do some more work tomorrow afternoon when I get home.

Good for you Glenda - good way to keep fit!

I don't have any plans yet except taking the dog for a walk. My friend has the day off so I am hoping she will call to go out for coffee or to the Mall.

I was going to get stuff ready for a yard sale on Saturday but it is supposed to rain so I am going to hold off now until the weather is nicer.

Brenda...roflmao ...that means that when I took THAT picture...I was WATERING. lol and while I was watering I saw how pretty it looked and took the photo. But we DID get some rain yesterday. My friend ask WHY in the world was I watering in the morning then...well...the way my water thirsty plants are...they are NOT happy without ME doing my rounds lol Well you all know how it is with rain and it making it into the pots lol I LOVE it and I thank Karyn also for sharing her seeds with me. Did collect the seeds and I know a few of you ask for it but I have not gotten around to finish off all envelopes and sorting yet. Sorry. If anyone is interested...will you send me a mail...maybe AGAIN too. So I do not have to go dig out who wanted them in the first place lol THANKS Dorothy have a GREAT TIME!!! and be safe. Daniella I have at least one in each flowerbed. But let me tell you, they get SO huge...that 2 next to it or anything else for that matter...gets buried. they do love water too ha ha ha Lucy

Ok... after reading more I realize we have a few more splurges that had not occurred to me at the time. Tomatoes on the vine or any good garden type tomato. I cannot abide a thick skinned mealy supermarket kind. Any San Marzano tomatoes for sauce work fine. It must be the soil or that water.... Sangria jelly, whenever I can find it. It is ridiculously good. The smoked whitefish spread at Costco. We have that in our house at all times. If cheese were less fattening, I'd have a whole fridge dedicated to it. As it is, I splurge on "eating cheese" (as opposed to cheese for cooking or grated cheeses) when we have guests. I love the horseradish cheddar kind or the champagne cheddar and any good asiago variety is my fave. I nibble it to try to make it last. I think I lived on a half cheese diet when pregnant as it was one of the few things that did not turn my stomach. Virginia ham is also a little splurge as it is usually more expensive than other kinds. It tastes like deli ham is supposed to taste to me. The other kinds are ok,and I'll buy them when they are much lower, but Virginia style is superior. German sausages from the German butcher are also a splurge. They carry the good European bread to go with their amazing cold cuts. I count what I buy there as eating out prices, and consider it lucky that we are not tipping for it, lol. I guess it is a way to justify those prices for eating at home and having it cost so much, lol....I don't even know what the price per lb is and prefer not to know. It is the one time I don't know prices out of everything else I do in life and hope to never know as it would ruin it for me. I get a large bag of stuff and it is spread out over several meals, but is probably our largest splurge, only done once in a while..... We do only drink imported beer and since most domestic is so awful, don't even consider that a splurge. It is a necessity to drink the better quality. After becoming used to German/Austrian beer over there, it is impossible to accept less. It sounds snobby, but if anyone did a side by side comparison, they'd forgive us ;) Luckily, we don't drink quantity. Often, dh and I will split a beer with dinner just to accompany certain foods. Our fave wine is a German reisling by Schmitte Sonne, which has a screw top, so is not crazy expensive, but it does cost more than many other whites we could buy instead. Since we buy by the case, we cut the costs some. It is always a hit when we bring some as a hostess gift.

TGIF! What are your weekend plans?

Marilyn, You sure keep busy gal. I was exhausted from the trip...along with being cold. Enjoyed company, they were great guests. No grandkids visiting, but the animals were exhausted too from playing with the visitors. We all took a long nap today. Went to HP this morning and had to wear jeans and a sweatshirt, it cleared up but is back to the icky weather. I do know you live in the NW corner of NM, but was floored to hear their rainfall numbers. My guests are following storms all the way home to NC. Am on a roll though to get some things done. My son lives with me but travels a great deal, is with airline security and was called out last Thursday during the upheaval to LAX for a month. He is a great help when here but also tends to divert me from getting projects finished. Good diversions like watching movies and eating too much, when home he just kicks back. So, I have 4 weeks to play all day if I decide to. Bought tile at HP to finish the bath surround and have tile to do same with my fireplace. The kitchen had been remodeled about 5 years ago by previous owners, but they did a terrible job on the counter tile job. Tile was butted right next to each other, very little grout will stick in seams and I am constantly cleaning spills which seep in between tiels. Most likely this will be another tile job soon as I hate how it looks and the work. Am also putting a cement resurfacer on the concrete patio. Paid some good money to have this done on the driveway and looks like I can do as well myself. Thinking of putting a terra cotta tint in it. The patio is so old I really don't care if I mess up..hopefully next year will build a deck. If it turns out well, may not have to build that deck. Thunder and lightening....hot bath and snuggle in for the evening. Good grief, it is almost Sept. and we hardly had a summer....too early to talk about snuggling in. Sandy

I watered my tomato plants this morning and one of my flower beds. Cleaned the kitchen really well today. Washed all the dishes in the dishwasher. Took a good 2 hour nap then played on the computer. I've taken my shower and am dressed for bed. Will get up and water some more in the morning then to church. We will pick up some fried chicken for lunch. The son is preparing Father's day dinner Sunday at 6:30. I'm really looking forward to his grilling, he is a great cook. I'm taking potato salad and comeback salad dressing. That should about finish the weekend.

I work Fri, Sat and Mon at a large garden center so I'm more a TGIM (monday) person. I hope it's reasonably busy with customers, that always makes the day go faster.......and we don't have to dust shelves to stay busy!

I'm going to my youngest GD's 2nd grade class to do my volunteer work. I'll be there all morning and will love being with 7-8 yr. old children. They are funny and sweet and give lots of hugs. Then I'm meeting a friend for lunch and will be getting a manicure late afternoon. DH and I have a date tonight and will probably be with another couple. Full day.

Same old thing....I am planning to sit outside with the kids for a longer period of time though....they love it and they go down for naps much quicker when we come in. I am making snowcones for them also....it's been a "friday" thing for the last few weeks now that the weather is nice.

Looks like fun Glenda!!!

I have no plans for today. We had a beautiful, much needed rain last night. The sun is shinning and I will probably hang up the flowering baskets that I bought this week, refill the hummer's feeders and sit out on the porch swing to read and enjoy the beautiful day.

Well, it's the 2nd day of rain. Not heavy, but steady. The back yard looks like a swamp. So no yard work. Maybe Sunday. DGK's are coming tonight, so I'll have to get some supplies for spagetti or something. I hope to get some pictures of them.

Going to go buy a recliner so I am ready for my knee surgery. Then I am going grocery shopping so we don't have to eat Ramen for dinner LOL!
It's cold and windy, with a chance of snow later, so I'll probably read the rest of the afternoon.
My ortho said water exercise is the best, so it's in my future too! Kathy

Supposed to get my parking lot swept today, but since it's snowing right now I might have to get the guy to plow it first...rofl.
Today I will finish up some touch ups in a suite I painted yesterday, clean the suite, get all my crap out and finish up the paperwork so new tenant can move in tomorrow. Oh I also have to fix his mailbox.
Then I will go to one of my other buildings to do a checkout and take pictures of the stuff the tenant left behind (I poked my head in there the other day and saw some furniture, a freezer, few other things.)
Then I will vacuum the building I live in, take out the garbages and the dreaded newspapers that pile up, clean all the doors and windows, clean the laundry room.
If I still have any oomph after that's done I will work in another suite that needs my attention.
Just another day in paradise here...
Des Arc - they have garage sales in your neighbourhood on Fridays?

I have no plans for today. But, I'm itching to do something. Tomorrow I'm suppose to go to my Great Nephews 1 year Birthday Party in Houston. (But, I don't want to) My bad!

I just finished cleaning up the laundry since I finished painting it yesterday morning. I put the switch covers back on and cleaned and mopped the floor.

It's supposed to rain quite a bit today so I planned to just work around the house until I read Yaya's post about going to garage sales. That reminded me that I saw a sign for an estate sale not far from here. I think I'll get dressed and go there as soon as I get caught up reading here.

Water was fantastic, but the wind was fierce, which made for a cold swim, brrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Don't know what I'll do the rest of the day.

Whidbekathy,

If you're having Knee replacement surgery,you might want to check with your DR before buying that chair.I'm having my knee surgery on the 15th of May,and the recliner already bothers my knees/legs.My PMC dr already told me they are the worse things for people with bad knees.Then since i found out when my surgery is i checked out a few things at (i think) web md) and it recommended you not use a recliner after knee replacement surgery(if that's what you are having).

I'm going to ask my surgeon when i go for a pre surgical appt on the 5th,and see what he says.I already have one,but stay out of it for the most part,and if i do get in it,it's not comfy and i have a hard time getting out.
Just thought i'd share that bit of info with you,for what it's worth.

She does just fine! With water aerobics!
She's had problems lately and NOW rides the noodle for less impact. Works for her!

Your TGIF plans, I have a great one!
