Good morning….Good afternoon or Good evening. A rather cloudy day today with heavy rain on and off. Some local flooding is expected with gusty winds. High temperature 83°. Today is National Sugar Cookie Day: Celebrates the classic buttery, lightly sweetened cookie introduced by Lutheran German settlers in Pennsylvania in the 1700s. It is a day for baking, decorating, and enjoying sugar cookies Well, I won’t be baking or eating any sugar cookies today, but I did make them for my children. Not the kind with thick icing on top that you see today….just a simple thin sugar cookie. Sprinkle a… Read more »
My dad was a real cookie lover. After the war when metal was short was when they got married and he had a small sheet of metal made at the machine shop with the end turned up slightly so she could make him cookies. He was an aeronautical engineer, so there was a machine shop at his place of work.
those look good, Tea…my grandma used to tell me about her dad playing golf in Scotland and she watched it often 💕
Great your mom could make cookies on your Dad’s work of art.
These look so good; like Chris’s Dad, my Dad loved cookies
This morning after sleeping with CPAP (which has air filter) I felt so much better, which confirmed my thought that the sneezing was allergies. A sneeze or two today, but that’s it, and that was always after exposure to outside air. DH took DBIL & DSIL to the airport at 4:30 am. We went and brought the dogs over about 9 am. Had our coffee and book study this morning. I stayed home while the rest met and I was on Facebook video call. I had to leave for PT early, so this gave me more time with them. PT was… Read more »
Chris, so glad you were able to narrow the sneezing down to allergies; a CPAP has many uses 😘
Good evening another hot day of 93, every time they say cooler it goes the other way,,I bit the bulletin and went to Costco at 4:45,, a lot less traffic, I got a Handicap parking space . Pin front, got right in and got my list done and was out in 45 min.. and it was cooler at 87. A big fire West of DS house..It started this morning and we had a lot of wind.. it is across the freeway from him.. a close friend of his had to be evacuated.. has burned 143 acres is 45% contained..pray they… Read more »
Glad you got to Costco. Sounds like you really need to get all your wounds checked out. Healing is harder as we get older. Hope the eye appt goes well, and you can go back to DMV and get that all taken care of.
Sorry your not healing well with ankle area and head area. Good idea to schedule appointment with wound care to have both checked out.
🙏Prayers continue for good healing Gwen ♥ Take care and keep cool.
Yes, expensive car repair, but we have no car payments….so it equals out. ⚖
Same ol’ 100 degree days; so glad the thermostat is up and working properly; been so hot; it’s struggling to keep up. It’s set at 75, & may have to increase the setting. Aspen Acres Fire (the one i thought might head this way) is at 96K acres, with 15% containment; the 4 fires going right now total 196K or 296 square miles, almost 2x the size of Denver 💔 Officials are saying the Aspen Acres may not be completely out until a heavy blanket of snow arrives 😢 We got wind, rain and hail about 30 mins ago; it… Read more »
Wow about the fire. Hope you continue to be safe. That is interesting about NBC. What a pain.
The Aspen wildfire is a big one. Wow...they say it won’t be out until a heavy blanket of snow….❄
Prayers you will all be safe and the fire won’t come your way. 🙏 Be safe Pam ♥
Why no NBC? I guess your TV provider did not renew contract with NBC. Some others have lost ABC due to contract renewals.
FYI….starting July 12th….Forever stamps will coast 82 cents. (up from 78 cents) 🙄
Thanks for the heads-up Tea, guess i better get my Eagle stamps ordered. 😘
Yep, heard that recently. It’s like once a year.
FYI Recent increase history
Hello there……😘 A partly cloudy day here with a high temperature 85° Perfect summer weather. I have been getting so many spam calls from Medicare providers. They use false phone numbers. I just pick up the phone and hang up. I don’t want the answering machine to get filled up and too many calls to block….they just use another number.😠 We are on the “do not call” list….what a joke. All our technology and spam calls still keep coming. Sorry, end of rant. Our car did not pass PA inspection….car is now in the repair shop for new front struts… Read more »
sorry your car did not pass…we don’t have inspections. I mostly don’t answer the calls.
I don’t answer the spam calls either….just pick up receiver and hang up.
If I did not do this our answering machine would be full in no time…😏
YIKES!! Hope strutting your stuff is worth the $$ 😄😏
😆
So sorry you are getting all those calls. Sorry your car did not pass. It will be safer afterwards, but sorry it is going to cost.
My friend supposedly had her stitches out without general anesthesia (which is great) and came home today. I haven’t heard for sure though. I’ll check in the morning. Had dentist appt in the morning, then doctor appt in afternoon, and blood draw. They added another BP drug since it still isn’t low enough. Then paid bills. I had a number of sneezing fits today – I think it is allergies, but took extra meds and don’t know if it helped. Could be because we sat outside a long time last night and DH had window open last night. He has… Read more »
I’ve noticed when you post your daily temps it seems to stay pretty comfortable there, does it ever get humid…that darn bp can be such a problem ugh!
So we tend to have humidity winter, spring, and fall, but summer is our dry season, so it is not a humid heat when it comes. Summer is our best season – it is sunny and dry. Do you remember the song – “the bluest skies you’ve ever seen are in Seattle”? – that is speaking of our summer. I wish it stayed a bit hotter longer, but I am in the minority here.
Chris hope the new BP med does the trick this time.
