Good morning. It's only 42 here. I'm surprised you have rummage sales there on a week day. We only have them on Saturdays here... sometimes on Sunday, but that's rare.

I'm on vacation today and tomorrow. I have two plumbers coming for estimates, I'm going with my daughter to a specialist appt, and then my dog has a vet appt. Tonight 8 of us are going out to dinner.

Last night I vacuumed the greenhouse, and today I'm finishing up a little cleaning in there. I have a couple of phone calls to make. Tomorrow I'm going to RELAX.

Yes, we can have them any day of the week, but usually they are Thurs., Fri., and Sat. Seldom on Sunday. There are only two listed I guess for today. It sounds like you have a busy day planned. Amber has a nice sized green house. She has a little in ground pond in it and over wintered some of her special goldfish. She is anxious to get her tropical plants moved out and planted. Some are really getting big.

My greenhouse is about 9' x 18'. If I had a bigger yard I would definitely have a bigger one. It is like heaven in there. And it would be great to have a pond like Amber has, because it adds ambience and humidity.

Good morning, Marilyn Sue. I am working outside. Came in for a minute and going right back out. Got to get things done while it is cool.

Good Morning Marilyn and Kters:
I've got some people here cleaning our carpets after they are done I am not sure what I am going to do.
Our weather here today isn't the greatest; here is what they are saying: it is 61 now; Showers this morning,
becoming a steady rain during the afternoon hours. Cooler. High 63F.
I hope everyone has a great day and stays comfortable.

It's a lovely morning here in north central MN.....blue skies and 62º. I have a couple of things to plant yet, and must do some weeding.

Well, Amber and I went to a couple of rummage sales. I bought a Taste of Home Holiday Book 2005 for $.50 and a great big jelly roll pan 6 Corelle dessert bowls, and a book about dogs. We stopped by Amber's and I got a few stalks of celery as I was out. I loaded up the dish washer after I unloaded the clean ones. I have done one load of laundry. I am now waiting on Cheryl our oldest. She is picking Izzi and me up and we are going to Marion. If they ask me to go, I will most likely go with them. :0)

Good morning everyone. It is raining here and we are under a flash flood watch. The nursery is quiet, not a single customer yet today. Might be a good thing as I am just feeling very crabby today. I wonder if it could be related to all the cloudy skies we have had this season. All I want to do is climb back into bed.

Good Mid morning everyone. I just got back from Walmart to get stuff to cook for dinner having friends over and we are going to make Pina Coladas and enjoy some food. My nephew and his fiance are in from Texas and will be coming over tomorrow so have to get the house and yard nice and spiffy for them....Hoping to get the house done by 1 and then I can play outside the rest of the day all I need to do is pick up and vacuum so I should reach my goal LOL stacy

Morning Marilyn Sue and Kt! It's raining again today, knew it would...so much for working outside. Think I'll call the mulch and compost people and have them wait to deliver next week. I'm working this weekend.

Alex has a dental appointment today. Going by the high school to pick up his report card too. That's all I have planned for today, now that I can't garden. I might steam clean the carpets, Luther got sick last night after I gave him some benadryl wrapped in cheese. He's never gotten sick on it before but he was so nervous and scared all day because of the storms. I may go by the vet too and see about getting him some more medication.

I started reading one of my books last night, "Girls like Us" about three female singers, a biography. Lot of interesting stuff but a whole lot of boring music history in there too.

Well, it is afternoon now. I haven't accomplished anything really except some emails and spent some time looking (again) at all the pictures from my DGS's wedding.

Rain rain, go away!!

This is the forecast for today:

A Chance Of Showers Late This Morning...then Showers With Isolated Thunderstorms This Afternoon. Highs In The Lower 60s. Northeast Winds Around 5 Mph. Chance Of Rain 90 Percent. Overnight: Rain. Rain May Be Heavy At Times After Midnight. Lows Around 60. North Winds 5 To 10 Mph. Chance Of Rain Near 100 Percent. Plus rain until Saturday and Sunday and then rain again next week.

It is already raining here. I had an appointment for my eye exam at 4 o'clock, but I canceled and will reschedule when the weather gets better. I don't like driving in the rain, and the dampness makes my joints hurt. *End of whine.

Think I'll make some potato soup, and some brownies. Great day for Comfort Food.

Hope you all can make the best of the day, whatever the weather is where you are.

Good morning (still morning here). I went to breakfast with the breakfast club. Had a great time as usual.
I loaned my car to Jammer's son for the day, so I'm staying at home till he gets back this afternoon.
I finished my book, Prayers For Sale and need to find another book to start. I have 2 shelves of tbr books, so I shouldn't have a problem finding one.

Good afternoon everybody! We had a busy morning and I've been resting my tired feet. DH had to have blood work in town this morning so we went early and afterwards went to Sam's to stock up on meat. I think we have enough to last about 6 weeks now.

We got--
Steaks - 4 filets. Cut way back on our beef intake so when we have a steak we want a good one. Don't eat a lot so those 4 will be 4 meals for us.

Pork chops--9 1" boneless. They were marked down, too.

Chicken breasts - 7 or 8. Boneless, skinless. Good for the grill.

Salmon - a large piece that will be at least 3 meals worth.

Pork roast - in an applewood bacon marinade. It's a little large but I can save it for company.

Hamburger - 5 lbs.

Roasted chicken - tonights dinner and tomorrow's chicken enchiladas.

After Sam's we went to Lowe's. They had a drill on sale and DH really needed a new one. I wanted paint samples for the main bath. I'm thinking dusty rose but all the colors either look like pepto bismol or lavendar. Got a replacement for our outside coach light.

Then we went to Publix. Hopefully I won't have to go back for a while since I stocked up on fresh fruit and veggies and some canned stuff in case of a hurricane.

Now I need a nap since I woke up at 3:45!

Well here it is mid afternoon, and it is a really nice day.
Sunny and breezy, not too hot.
I have washed a load of laundry and ran the dishwasher, and pruned shrubs outside. I am able to do about 1/2 hour and then need a quick break.
Made DH a hot lunch as I do every day so he can make the most of his lunch hour from work. We are very lucky that he only works 10 minutes from the house. Really a money saver, gas and food wise.
So many weeds, so little time......

Well, I had a change in my plans as I posted earlier. I did not go to Marion with Cheryl. I puppy sat at Amber's while Cheryl and Amber went to help clean up some things out of the inlaw's house so it can be sold and Amber helped her. I was too tired to fix supper so it is just a cheese burger from Hardee's.
