Currently my favorite is White Chocolate Raspberry!! I am also a fan of Vanilla Bean, and Strawberry Cheesecake. If they have it I like Baskin Robbins Tax Crunch, Daquirir Ice, and World Class Chocolate.

It is Tillamook brand – may only be in the Pacific Northwest. Their company is in Oregon.

Oh Tea, it might be easier to name one i don’t like as well as others. 😄 Finished off a carton of salted caramel vanilla as lunch yesterday 🙄 There are a few i always get, if available. Kroger makes a lemon curd, light & refreshing. Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Mousse Pie is another one. I got another carton of that black raspberry, it was really good. And it’s impossible to go wrong with Vanilla Bean; especially Haagen Daz.

Hello there 😘 A mix of clouds and sun. Expecting widespread areas of smoke and haze, reducing visibility at times. Air quality is in “RED ALERT” . Our high temperature will be 94°. I called Charles our mower guy and told him he did not have to mow today with the hot weather and bad air quality. He thanked me. I suggested he wear a mask if he is working outside. 😷
Cleaning lady is here this morning.
Made quick tuna salad…..with relish and light mayo for our lunch.
Hope you will have a lovely Thursday. Take care ♥ ttfn

Had our coffee and book study a bit earlier this morning to accommodate tone friend who had set up a dental appointment. Started sneezing right after I left her house, but luckily it was only for about 5 minutes. I always drive with the air not circulating from the outside, so it wasn’t that. I was only outside in her driveway for less than 5 minutes, but…. Then stopped at Wild Birds Unlimited and Walgreens on the way home. Worked on payroll taxes and some tax planning this afternoon. Then read through the book DH is helping our friend with… Read more »

Oh no; what a mess. I’ve used an egg cooker for over 20 years; just as my 1st one was dying, Cody/Laura gave me an upgraded one for Christmas a few years back. It’s the only thing keeping my eggs inside their shells 😄

I keep a bright card on my walker tray “STOVE ON”….as a reminder when I am cooking. Sometimes we get “sidetracked” 🙄 like Gwen said and forget to check the stove or oven. This a a help to me…..don’t want a fire.

So sorry both of your wounds are not healing well. Perhaps going back to wound care would help.
Have you thought about trying a different wound care place.?
Sounds like you will have a nice dinner with friends.
Take care Gwen 🙏

I have boiled eggs in refrigerator to make egg salad. Cereal…P & J ??? Those of you having high temperatures….take extra care and stay home in A/C. Have a good Wednesday. ttfn ♥ a funny… Read more »

cute cartoon, the smoke is affecting us here too, this morning when I went out it smelled like someone was having a campfire and the visibility was almost nonexistent, the fires are about 2 hours north of me, this is turning into a brutal summer 🌡️

Good morning…last night we went out to eat at a family style restaurant…also to a couple stores, farm store and Aldi…DH got a bit more sleep last night. I’ll try to get one or two things done today and then just enjoy the summer day. Even when it’s this hot, I sit on my screen porch and just go in to cool off after awhile..then I come out after a little while to warm up, lol…DH keeps it too cool for me but today he’ll be at work, not working from home. Have a good day friends..stay cool 😎

not much, I was still full from a big lunch with my cousin (omelet with avocado on top and other veg. in side, hash browns), and it was hot so just a vanilla shake..DH had steak and eggs, big meal.
