Right now I am waiting to go to church with Amber and Mike. Then I think from church I will go with Cheryl to see my Mother in the Tipton Hospital. So that is all that I think I am doing so far.

Sue

Right now, I'm watching a special edition of the Sunday Morning show on CBS...all about animals today.

Later, need to do a few things around the house and would like to rent some movies, too.

Sue, I hope you find your mother doing better today.

Thanks Granlan. I called the nurses station and they said she was doing well and sleeping. I would have called her room but she can't hear me talk on the phone. She is feisty! Lived in her own home until she was 90 and mowed with a riding mower and planted garden and canned and all the things she liked to do. Will let you know how she does.

Sue

spending time online. :)

Really, wanted to work on the doggy fence, but it is raining. Ever so slightly, but I don't want to get my tools all wet.

Thus, I have to come up with a plan B.

:)

Moni

Painting kitchen walls, then emptying out large (8ft) server to prepare for moving it out to the workshop for refinishing.
Then, before bed, get everything ready for workers to move fridge, freezer, table/chairs, and hutch out of the kitchen tomorrow AM before ripping out old flooring.

Will cook a hot dinner, because no cooking until Wednesday when it's all done.

Fun day.

Eating breakfast right now and in a couple of hours I will leave to go to a family reunion. Then I'm going to my son's house where he is hosting a party for his high school graduating class.

It's just a little after 7 here so I am reading the forums and will have breakfast in about half an hour.

I am going to finish cleaning the RV so it will be ready for our next trip. I restocked the non perishable food items yesterday. The plan is to only have to put in clothes, medicines and perishable foods when we are going away. Makes it easier in the planning part of a trip.

I am going to make some eggplant parmesan today and hopefully have a couple of friends over for dinner.

Cleaning the house
wash
grocery shopping

Straightening my house. I have a doctor's appt tomorrow, after that I will start packing for my cruise. I hate packing, but when I step on the plane my worries are over and the fun starts. I leave Weds for Europe.

I have to run to Wal-Mart to pick up my prescriptions. Then coming home and should clean up the house and yard some. I also need to feed some of my garden veggies as they aren't doing too good out in the new "pool" garden. The soil isn't great out there.

Youngest DD is on her way over with the GK's. While they play she is going to help me deep clean as I have guests coming in from Indiana tomorrow.
Trip to Sams for groceries, pre cooking some items for tomorrow's BBQ, and then just taking it easy.

Trin

Was on the road yesterday from 7:30 am to 8:30 pm.
Told DH we were staying in all day, and he's okay with that.

Have a bin ready to harvest some worms (composting). Had a terrific thunderstorm already this morning, and it blew over and now it's sunny, and of course humid.

Hubby wants to go out now...... sigh... LOL

Going to Sea World in Orlando.

Did some work work (trying to hire a few people). Then some cleaning and laundry. About to take a shower and go to a restaurant for my nephew's birthday. He had planned it for yesterday but spent too long canoeing. I won't eat with them as my son and a friend are coming out to go to Greek Fest - yum!! They are fundraising for local charities so it is a win-win. Then get ready for the work week. We are in training for our electronic medical record implementation.

Shellm - congratulations on your son's Eagle Scout Court of Honor. My son and two of my nephews are Eagle Scouts.

Headed to gym as soon as I get dressed.
WalMart

I am worn out from attending 2 family reunions yesterday. I skipped church this morning and enjoyed CBS Sunday Morning program on animals. I will take a nap this afternoon because tonight we are going to Des Moines to see the Shawn Johnson and Friends show. Kristi Yamaguchi will appear as will several cast members from the spring season of DWTS.

Staying indoors, too hot and hunid for me-it's 90 at 2pm, we may have a thunderstorm.

Had breakfast and read the paper, which here takes about 5 minutes. Laid the ads aside to check out later. DD came and brought me 4 large packs of Sunpatiens for my two big pots out front. She had seen them at Home Depot and knew I was looking for something for the pots. I paid for them with some of my yard sale $$. Yea! They will look great after they settle in.

Now I'm here reading up on all you KTers. I need to fix a bite of lunch and then will just loaf for the rest of the day.

Weather for today is: 82°, Partly Sunny With A Chance Of Showers And Thunderstorms. Some Thunderstorms May Produce Gusty Winds...small Hail And Heavy Rainfall. Highs In The Mid 80s. Southwest Winds 10 To 15 Mph With Gusts Up To 25 Mph. Chance Of Rain 50 Percent.

That is pretty much our weather forecast every day lately, except for the HAIL. We had a terrific, but brief, Hail storm about a month ago. We really need the rain, but we are getting very little. Right now the wind is rattling the blinds and fresh air is almost chilly. Hard to believe it is July.

Sue

I am back from church and also went to the hospital to visit my Mother. She seems better as she is giving orders to everyone! Cheryl and I stayed there for awhile and on our way home stopped at KFC and picked up meals for our husbands, we had stopped there before going to the hospital. Izzi is napping and I am thinking about taking a short nap too. So far that is my day.

Sue

I had Waffle House breakfast for my lunch.

Scrambled eggs, dry raisin bread, bacon and sliced tomatoes.

Feel very satisfied.

Did go the gym before going.

And also WalMart.

I ended up making a tato salad, and have it chilling in the fridge. Ribs are smoking out back. I want to be able to send a generous amount home with DD to thank her for helping me today. I just cannot clean this whole house in a day, including all carpets and laundry like I used to. Not even sure I want to anymore! Although it is just the two of us normally, we can make a heck of a mess. And with the dogs, double that.

So glad the house is clean. It feels and smells refreshing!

Finally showered and went to Wal-Mart this afternoon. I bought some "organic" plant food to feed my poor veggies that aren't doing so hot. Also bought some cute little solar lights for the backyard and a giant mushroom garden ornament thing, which I put under my weeping cherry. I need to go out and cut it back away from my watermelon plants, they are blocking the sun from them and stunting their growth. They're tiny compared to the melon plants next to them that have already fruited.

I need to go out and weed really bad and Alex needs to mow. I hired a company to mow while we were gone but they only did it twice, once just before we left and once while we were gone. I got a call from them the other day asking if I wanted them to mow again...I had told them to take a look at it and if it needed it go ahead. Now, we'll just mow it ourselves.

I wanted to buy a chain saw but Wal-Mart didn't have any. I thought they sold them but apparently our's doesn't or are out of them. So, Wednesday I'm going to Lowe's and find a lightweight one that I can handle so I can cut down some little trees.

Stopped by a friend's house after Wal-Mart and we decided to go Wednesday to a nearby garden center.

Now I'm making potato salad. I have a bunch of poke salad in the backyard so I made some for dinner. Also, baking chicken.

Lauren just called and is eating Mexican food with her friend and Alex ate leftover steak so I guess I'll be eating by myself.

Had a big day today. DB and family are here from Texas. We went to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton OH today.

I worked from 12p-6p today.

1. Trying to stay cool in this extreme heat and humidity
2. Applying icepacks to my poor swollen feet
3. Spent most of the day (and until midnight last night) reading the love story online of Ree Drummond...the Pioneer Woman and I am NOT a reader, but it held me captive.
4. Did lots of dishes today.
5. Took another shower trying to cool off.
6. Cleaned and refilled two hummingbird feeders.
7. Got a package ready to mail out tomorrow to a friend in PA.
8. Fed the cats and cleaned litter boxes.
9. Tried to take a short nap but our dog wouldn't let me.

Not much. Did a couple loads of laundry, made a decent dinner of pork loin and cleaned the kitchen back up. Mostly I read today. I got into a book that I am really enjoying and can't put it down for long. In fact, I've got 120 pages to go and probably will stay up until I finish them.

Yesterday I schlepped the kids out to shop for school supplies and new shoes X 4. My debit card was too hot to touch again today! Stayed home so as not to spend a dime.
