Hello on Sat. Afternoon

14 years ago

Hello all, I just put two ten inch peach pies in the oven and will put a ten inch blueberry pie in soon. Tomorrow is our church dinner and I will take a peach pie and a blueberry one. I am also planning on taking some of our yellow and red cherry tomatoes and an onion and cucumber salad. We gals went to a few rummage sales today, nothing too exciting at those. Cheryl and I did go back to the barn sale and I bought myself a nice Revere 4 1/2 quart pan and lid for $4.00. It is a nice size. Also bought some more Corelle bowls and small plates, twenty five cents each. For a dollar I bought a replacement lid for an oval crock pot. Discovered this forenoon that deer have found my corn patch and about four stalks were mashed down and the ears eaten! Not happy about that at all. While out there we started up the sprinkler again and Cheryl picked more sweet corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, and zucchini. Now I am going to scrub up a big pot of sweet potatoes and cook and peel for Amber to have in her freezer. So far last year's crop is still keeping well in my cool garage. I guess I should get busy again. What are the rest of you doing today? Hot and humid again and no rain.

Whew ! You sure got a lot done.
I finished up laundry, then got to the pool by 12:30.
About 30 minutes ago, thunder and lightning - packed up and came home.

I've been doing some 'desk' decluttering. Going through papers, warranties, insurance books, shredding what's identifiable to me and tossing the rest. It's like this stuff grows when you're not looking. Also doing a lot of other odds/ends.

It's hot here in Ohio. Not much of a chance for rain. May get some tomorrow.

Hi Everybody!! I am on my Sister-In Laws computer right now and I don't know if anyone will even get to read this now.I forgot you can get on any computer and do this.((DUH!!)) Any way,I don't want to stay on this too long,((Yeah Right))It's killing me not having my own computer.But I just wanted to say Thanks For A Great Swap.It was especially sweet for me because my daughter Diana and her new Husband of less then a year and who's last name I still can't pronounce correctly got to come with me and they loved it.Diana can't wait to come to the next one,So I'm thinking we'll be coming to the fall swap as well.It was great seeing everyone and sharing all the plants and eating all the wonderful food.I wish I could have stayed longer,But my elbow was giving me a fit.I had surgery on it a couple weeks earlier and the cast was making me sweat and itch.But all in all it was alot of fun. Michelle,My daughter Diana got the wraped package,It was a large ceramic Owl.Very cool!! I probably won't get back on again.So Thanks for a great time as usual Beverly and Mimi!!! You two are Awesome!!!!!!!!!! I'm hoping to see you all again in the fall!! Granny57

Peggy, thank you for the inspiration. I read your post yesterday and thought, all I need to clean is the linen closet. We have been inside due to all the cold weather and have been complaining that I cannot get out and exercise. After reading your post it got me to thinking, I can exercise in the house by cleaning out the linen closet. It was amazing what I took out of the linen closet, Took all the blankets and spreads to the animal shelter, they didn't need the towels so we took those over to a thrift store that funds a cancer hospital for children. I feel so good knowing that I got everything cleaned and out of the house. Also got my exercise, climbing up and down the ladder going into the closet. We have 12 foot ceilings, so we have lots of closet space. Thanks for giving me the inspiration to get started. Going to bed feeling good about my day.

a very nice afternoon...

There are not many colleges with men's squash teams when one compares it with sports such as basketball or football. And most are highly competitive ones such as the Ivies. Squash scholarships are few and far between - NO athletic scholarships at all in the Ivies. Most of the scholarships go to the top junior players in the world, with many from Egypt. It used to be Pakistan that had outstanding players, but for the past 15 years, players from there have great difficulties with visas to travel to tournaments all over the world. DGS intends to major in math in college - won the State Science Fair last year with a math/statistics project - and will either do a double major with economics or a minor in Econ. He wants to work on Wall Street and make a ton of money! Both his parents went to Cornell. Father owned a couple of companies - both went belly-up around the time of the Recession and he's been a SAHD ever since. Mother is Dir of Hospitality for a company of boutique hotels. DGS started playing in tournaments in 7th grade but did not have multiple private lessons each week (too expensive) or a coach who travelled to tournaments with him (again too expensive). They stuck to tournaments within driving distance. Many junior players have tens of thousands of dollars spent on squash; he's done this on his own natural ability and initiative. In the end, most of the college coaches want to know a player's SAT scores before they'll look at their videos. Each coach gets 2 slots for players who might not qualify on their academics - most are top 20 players in their age group. DGS's best ranking was 90 this year do he must qualify academically. It's a good thing his father doesn't work as choosing the right tournaments and figuring out the points possible, is a full time job! Non-income producing sports don't have the clout with admissions as those that make a lot of money for the schools. I went through this with my son, who played water polo in college! He's already had informal visits at 3 universities and will have formal ones this winter/ spring. He's aiming very high. Fingers crossed.

Hi Marilyn and all

It's 99 degrees here in KS and no change except the high is only 100 instead 108+. Since it is Sat. I am doing laundry and nothing else, lazy me. I ordered a Pizza Hut pizza, haven't had one in 3 or 4 years, it was wonderful. I am watching the NCIS series, again and playing Mortimer Beckett hidden object/mystery The Lost King. You game lovers out there might want to try it. It is kind of difficult, but there are cheat sheets on the net. All is quiet here, boring as can be. Hope your day is more interesting.

I didn't do a whole lot this morning, other than dishes and laundry. I still have more to do. Just got back from grocery shopping. I'm going to try a couple new recipes. One called for a purple onion, but they were $2.99 a pound at Kroger! The smallest one was 3/4 of a pound. No way am I paying that for one lousy onion. It also called for summer squash but they looked horrible, all shriveled up. So, I got zuchini instead. I wish I had made a little garden this year.

Now I have to make one of those dishes for the girls to eat over the next four days that I have to work. Not going to be fun. I also have to paint the new door that I had put in last week. I hope the white paint I have is still good.

Filled my gas tank up too...$3.79 here for Regular! Got it 10 cents cheaper with my Kroger card...still cost me over $60 to fill my car up. Not happy.

Not much here except got the needed rain. Almost an inch but still need more. Farmer's corn and peas and soybeans need it. Also the wheat to fill out the heads.
Cool and nice outside.
Sue, you make me hungry for all the good stuff you bake. I know you will receive a special blessing for all the good you do for your family and friends.

So far I've done nothing except watch the Olympics. For better or worse, I'm an Olympics junkie and my family leaves me alone for two weeks.

Lazy day for me. Did laundry early this morning, then grocery shopped for ingredients for a casserole dish to take to the family reunion tomorrow. Putting it together now so I can bake first thing in the morning.

Birthday present to ME is replacing glass on two doors, one in my bedroom and living room that lead out onto the deck. And a new living room double hung window.

Spluged, I think, and bought the blinds inbetween the glass for the 2 doors.

So I needed a valance for my bedroom door and found it, yea! Plus a magnet curtain rod.

I like the blinds behind the glass too Glenda. I have them in between my patio door glass and at my back door. We just installed ours our self. I use those magnetic curtain rods too at my back door and in my club house at the door.

Hi sounds like some of had lazy days. I did absolutely nothing all day. Took two naps and broiled some steak for dinner. It was not very good as it was tough. Might make some popcorn later. Marilyn Sue, you make me feel sooo lazy. Sounds like you had a busy day but nice to see your daughter for a bit. Enjoy your dinner tomorrow. Satine
