At 10.30a/MDT: temp is 83/real feel is 91 — our humidity/dew point is just ridiculous. Still trying to find someone to install the new thermostat. Guess I’m not in that big of a hurry; it’s actually working okay. I’ve been switching the toggle to ON around noon and let it run; switching it to OFF at 11p. Because it’s so hot, the house has never reached 75, which is where i keep summer temps. So glad I have a good A/C compressor that’s fairly new. Anyway, enough of that silliness! Ice, nice you/Glenda got your feetsies done 👣 glad there… Read more »
Hi Pam,
Felt I could have run marathon after my foot TLC.
But only in my mind.lol.😀😘

Good Morning! Cloudy and going up to 84 with a few showers developing this afternoon. As of last Wednesday Craig’s department is on summer hours (8:30 AM to 3:00 PM). When he got home from work yesterday Craig started working on cutting up the remaining debris to bag for curbside pickup from the major pruning he did on our backdoor neighbors huge Red Tip shrubs (they approved him doing this for them since they’re not up to the task). It took Craig longer than he estimated to finish the job (4 hours instead of 2) so in total Craig spent… Read more »
Hi kathy,
Those are nice summer hours for Craig. More time to come home and work outside or relax outside now. 💛
Good morning
Got my haircut yesterday and Mike and Jamie came by because we wanted them to take more tomatoes and peppers.
Cleaning today and think i will dress for walking now.
Hi Ardy,
I hope your like your haircut. Trouble with tomatoes they seem to come all at once! What type do you have. We got a cherry tomato type, we like them for salads and just for snacks.
We like regular tomatoes the best. He will buy cherry tomatoes once n awhile
Hi Ardy
Nice looking harvest of tomatoes 🍅😋
I hope you like your haircut and enjoyed your walk.
Good morning, Another beautiful sunny day 59 going up to 83. Yesterday morning I had just finished showering and blow drying my hair when the power suddenly went out. I was sure thankful with the timing! 😀 I went over to visit sis Barb, I had a couple books and magazines for her. We had a good visit but she looks so sad and not the energy and bouncing around she usually has. She told me she was eating badly since Travis passed she had been ‘over eating to ease her pain’ and feels she brought this on herself. It… Read more »

Good morning. Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam. Rain this morning but gradually clearing away now for some sunshine. The odd shower later but temp just 60F today so still mon the cool side. Up early again this morning at 6-00 am so getting the paper at this hour there is no traffic around. Kerry our foot lady is coming today at around 9-00 for our foot TLC.lol. We will then do our weekly shop so quite a bit later than normal so I expect the store will be packed by then. Hope they do not run out of Pretzels.lol.… Read more »
Good morning Ice,
I sure hope you got to the store in time to get your pretzels !!
I bet your feeling a sprint in your step after the foot care this morning.😀
Hi Jenn.
The store was not crowded at all possibly the rain had something to do with it.lol.
Glenda and myself got a little damp but the Pretzel made up for that.
Feet felt light as air but that soon wore off.😀😘
Morning Ice
I bet your feet 🦶🦶are feeling great now…how was the store? Did they save you a pretzel?
Hi Ardy.
Like walking on air now.lol.
Not as crowded as I thought it would be.
Pretzel “ahoy” lovely and chewy.😀😘
Hi Ice
I hope the store still had some Pretzels 🥨 when you went shopping 😘
Hi Kathy.
I had my Pretzel ok.😘
Here’s a pic of Craig’s method for opening the yard waste bags. To quote Craig, “That’s how you do it when your arm length is shorter than the bag height.” 😂
smart thinking
I always said Craig was a smart man; he chose you! 💖
I have so much sympathy for that particular shortcoming 😂 I’m built like a kangaroo …
Awww… you’re so sweet 🥰
😂😘
Great idea Craig, I will have to remember this one. 😍
😀
Good Morning! Sunny and 73 going up to 90 with possible afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Craig was very busy both Saturday and Sunday (yard project 6 hours each day). Our backdoor neighbor has very large and old Red Tip shrubs that had grown well over the back border of our yards. Since our neighbor has issues with his knees he has not been able to tackle the massive job of major pruning needed. Craig offered to do it for him (at no charge) and he graciously accepted Craig’s offer. I wish I had taken a before pic but here’s one… Read more »
Is that the shrub in the photo? Or just the trimmings from it?
That was nice of Craig but a lot of work.
What’s on the ground are a portion of what Craig removed. Also shown is what remains of the very tall shrub that goes almost to the top of this pic.
It is huge
Craig is such a good man, helping his neighbor who no longer can keep up with the yard work.💚
