Good morning, 59 going up to 81. We are going to be affected by the intense heat wave coming up the East coast starting mid-day tomorrow through Friday. Thankful we have A/C. Yesterday I had a late morning appt. to have a bone density test at the hospital in Damariscotta. Since we needed to do laundry soon we packed that up and went to the laundromat and to the bookstore cafe for a treat, then down to the hospital for the test. Then we drove almost an hour from there to Augusta to our credit union to take out money… Read more »
Sounds like a nice day!!!! Glad you have AC for the heat wave!
Hi Jenn
I’m surprised that the heat wave will impact you guys as well. Great news that you have AC. It’s going to be brutal here in Charlotte.
I am so sorry you will be hit so hard Kathy.🙏 We will have the heat wave mid-day tomorrow through Friday then cooling down to normal Maine temperatures.
Good Morning Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam. I thought it would be a cooler night but no it was still a humid time. So just sleeping under a Duvet cover again. Tried the whole Duvet at first but much too hot so back to just the cover. Far from cooling down the latest forecast is more of the same into next week in the upper 80F again and humid.🙄. I am not enjoying Summer time just yet.lol.. Pretzel day shopping has arrived once again, my oh my the days seem to race by these days. Will be back in… Read more »
Good morning Ice,
It is not fun at all to be hot when trying to sleep. Sorry the humidity is still a problem and you do not have much relief ahead.
When will the cooling blanket that you ordered arrive?
I hope you got the pretzels today and are back home out of the heat outside.🥨
Hi Jenn.
Just put the whole Duvet back on the bed as it feels much cooler today.
It looks like it is coming from China.
Everything seems to be made in China these days.
Got my Pretzel reward ok.😀😘
😘
Sorry you are still not having an enjoyable summer. I sure hope they have one pretzel for you!
Hi Ardy.
Made it around ok and a nice Pretzel reward.lol.
A bit cooler today feeling much more comfortable.😘
Hi Ice
I hope you will feel cooler this evening and can get some good sleep 😴😘
Hi Kathy.
A better night last night under the full Duvet.😘
Another 100-degree day, the humidity is down; a blessing and a curse. Higher humidity feels sticky but is good for fighting fires. The wildfire causing evacuations in Beulah, CO is only about 50 miles due east of here. We’re preparing for the possibility. This is the 1x i’ve ever been seriously concerned. DB/Rick’ll panic so i can’t even prepare him. Maybe the well-irrigated farmland between where the fire is now and us will help slow the fire’s relentless push to the east. Jenn. the cabin looks completely beautiful; so very cozy & comfortable. Denny did a great job cutting those pretty… Read more »
😂😘
Pam I pray your area is safe and I pray for all those in the line of those fires.🙏 So very scary.
Hi Pam
Very scary with the fires moving your direction. Prayers of protection for your household and I hope y’all won’t need to evacuate 🙏🏻❤️
Good Morning! Sunny, humid and 74 going up to 89. We’re in a weeklong heat wave with the temps expected to reach close to 100 by the end of the week 🥵 Craig’s benefits year runs from July 1st to June 30th each year. He still has 10 vacation hours that need to be used or he’ll lose them. Therefore, today he only has to work 2 hours and then he’ll be off on Tuesday the 30th. Craig will then work his normal shift Wed thru Fri. After breakfast I need to go to the grocery store for more bananas… Read more »
Hi Kathy.
I do so sympathise with you on your present heat wave hope you get some cooler weather soon. We have relief from the heat wave for this week but it could be back again next week.🙄😘
A very sweet picture Kathy!!
Nice Craig will have some extra time with you.
❤️
Hi Kathy,
We are going to be having hotter weather I think it is coming up the East coast. 😟
I am sorry you are not seeing hummingbirds. We have the female that has been coming lots of times daily and a male tries to sneak in and she dives for him. I wish they would share it.
Very handsome teen! Sorry for your heat dome; heat’s bad enough, it’s the humidity/dew point that’ll get ya. Make sure you hydrate and wear a hat!
Good morning,
Sunny all day 65 going up to 79.
Yesterday was beautiful, warm and sunny. We got the chairs into he new room and the bureau and the kitchen table inside.
Loving it so roomy now and it was so nice sitting at the kitchen table for supper last night and not eating off tv tables.
Final pictures.
…
We saw a beautiful deer walking right past the camp out back. Danny not here marking the territory I think they are braver.
So the table is in the kitchen and the chairs are in the addition?
Yes.
Hi Jenn.
That looks just right for me to finish off my declining years.
Looks wonderful quite envious.lol.
Thank you Ice, we will enjoy it for as long as we can.😀
Hi Jenn
What a great new space you have now! I love how you have things arranged with the comfy chairs moved into the addition leaving room for the little kitchen table in the larger area 😀
Thank you Kathy, 😊
Good Morning Instead of regular Bible school that wasnt doing so good all these years later our “new” organist suggested Band camp. There were 45 kids from age four to 18 from our church and kids not from our church and 45 volunteers from our church to help. In five days they learned to play the ukulele and the bells and songs to sing. It is the second year and it is so much fun!!! The kids were so cute. I stopped at the neighborhood market on the way home and then didnt do much the rest of the day,… Read more »
What a great idea with the musical instruments for the children. 🥰
Pretty bags that Jamie made for you, that will be nice to share one with your cousin.
I asked her to make one for Raelene and a small animal print for Amanda. I am planning on going to visit CA. this coming spring. i would like to spend some time with cousin RAY and Raelene and Isaiah when there arent so many people around. It was hectic when i went for Jolenes funeral even though I loved seeing everyone.
