Good morning, Sunny 65 going up to 80 with low humidity. A perfect day to be enjoying being outside.😎 My laptop I use daily is around 7 yrs. old and Denny bought a new battery for it and put it in weeks ago. I am getting warnings now and I had those warnings from a laptop I had a long time ago and did not act quick enough and lost everything. We went to Best Buy yesterday and I picked out a new laptop, it was on sale for $100. off but not in stock. It will be in on… Read more »
Hi Jenn
Hopefully your new laptop will come in earlier. Dont you backup everything? I do so if something happens I wont lose anything, especially all my photos. What kind did you get? BB charges a lot to help you. When i got my first laptop they set it up for $200 and then the guy wouldnt even tell me how to switch between Rick’s and my emails ….cant remember why….time allotment was up or that wasnt part of it.
I had never been on a computer …..never had the Geek squad again, glad Rick met John.
What do you use to back up Ardy? I used to have the UBS things but haven’t in a long time. I have cloud on my iphone for pictures but not on my laptop. I should have been more careful.
This is the one I got.
I have a Lenovo and I love it.
me, too
I use a Seagate backup desk
I will have to check that out. Thanks!
Hi Jenn.
Hope you get your new laptop soon we cannot afford to lose you here.😀
Thank you Ice, not sure I would be a big loss but appreciate you saying that. 😀
very pretty flowers
Good Saturday morning.
Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn,Pam.
Yet another humid night getting used to them now……NOT.lol.
We have a NNE breeze this morning which is cooling the house down a bit today I hope.
Outside temp today will still be 90F so that breeze is most welcome.
Up again at 5-00 hope to get avlie in when it gets colder.
Off to get the paper now see you all soon.
A week from Monday next my weather App is showing a likely temp of 68F that is more like it.lol.😀😘
Good morning Ice
I am glad you told us the day. I a losing track of the days for some reason.
A breeze is nice for you.
Hi Ardy. A nice bit of breeze but still nearly 90F again today but cooling into the 80F range next week.
That is more like it.😘
Good morning Ice,
I hope you will be able to sleep in to your normal time soon, when the awful heat wave is over for you.😔
How are your granddaughters doing these days and little Penelope?
Hi Jenn. GD are very well but poor Pen has been through a rough time last month. She was having trouble with her feeding regime she was bring her food back up. So she ended up in hospital where they fitted her with a nose feeding tube but she kept pulling it out. They were worried about operating on her but in the end they had no choice. She is now fitted with a duel opening device in her stomach stomach with one part attached to her duodenum and the other opening for her different medicines. She came through it… Read more »
so glad she is doing well now.. what/who is Avlie?
Thanks for the update on Penelope. Glad it worked out in the end.
Poor little Penelope going through all that but it seems like that surgery is going to make it better for her. 💕
Jenn! that canvas artwork of the handsome Danny Boy is spectacular; it was it extremely thoughtful of your wonderful husband. And it made me cry like a baby; I know you both miss him terribly 💔 {{HUGS}} My goodness, you were fortunate in not being severely hurt in your fall yesterday 🙏
Hi Pam,
I am sorry to make you feel sad, it is the reality though of our struggle to get through.
I do love this canvas artwork and will bring it to Brunswick to hang there in the living room. Danny always watching over us like he did when he was here 💔
Yes, I do feel so fortunate about my foot. Deena told me this morning that she did the same thing. This is how she explained it.
I did that in Florida and fractured a small bone in my ankle, wore a boot for weeks.
Friday, July 10: Lexi turned 6
She was an adorable baby and just a beautiful little girl. Beautiful hair. 💕
Lexi is so beautiful 💖
Her parents call her the Tornado Princess 🌪️🌪️ if that tells you anything.
I think I get the picture. 😂
Good Morning! Sunny, hot and humid with a high of 94.
Changing the mattress pad and sheets today. The mattress pad is in the washer now and then I’ll wash the sheets.
This sweet female was on my feeder this morning 💗 She took a few sips too 😊
Sweet picture Kathy!!
Thank you ❤️
She sure is a beauty 💗
Beautiful capture of your hummingbird Kathy. We are seeing, I believe, the babies from our female hummingbird who has ‘ruled’ the feeder here. They come several times a day and I am changing the feeders out every other day rather than every 3rd day.
It will feel good to get in to freshly washed sheets tonight. Sorry for your extremely hot temperatures. 😯
Beautiful Picture Kathy, what lovely birds they are.😘
Thank you ❤️
Good morning, After leaving the laundromat yesterday we stopped at the Stepping Stone Thrift store in Damariscotta. This is where we bought the bureau and table for the camp. They have a barn that goes upstairs and I went up then came down and had to open a door to step into another room and it was fairly dark in there. I stepped on a pallet not seeing it was a drop off and all my weight on my right foot when it hit the floor. It hurt a lot but I can put pressure on it to walk and… Read more »
Hi Jenn.
You were very lucky on your fall not to injure yourself badly good that you are largely ok.
What a brilliant picture that is.😥
Thank you Ice, I do feel very lucky I went down on it pretty hard, a fair drop from that step to the floor.
I think the artist did a wonderful job, I guess they transpose the photo you give them somehow onto the canvas?
Very clever how they and reproduce so well.
Hi Jenn
Thank goodness you were not hurt!!!!
What a beautiful canvas painting of Danny to remember him by.
I know you miss him terribly♥♥♥ Hugs
Thank you Ardy for your kind words💗 Danny was one of a kind, he made sure he was a part of everything we did. He made us laugh everyday and we miss that so much.
I am so grateful I was not hurt, I really thought ‘oh no this is it’ thinking a fracture or broken bone. Already it is hardly slightly painful now.🙏
Hi Jenn
Oh man that could have been a serious injury! You were so fortunate 🙏🏻
That is a beautiful portrait of Danny Boy that Denny surprised you with 💝
Thank you Kathy, I think I had an angel guiding me since I can’t believe how hard I hit the floor with my foot. So thankful.
Denny was so kind ordering that print of Danny. We will cherish it always.💗
that picture is so beautiful, what a treasure. I have thought of doing that for a couple of our pets, there are artists here who do that and I think I still have their cards.
Good morning
I was so tired yesterday. We are moving Nikki’s pill tie week by week to a better tie for Rick when I am gone so right now its 11am/11pm and now i have a hard time going back to sleep.
Chuck and Wendy came for haircuts at 10 am and i cut their hair in the kitchen because it was already too hot.
Hi Ardy,
I hope you can get regulated to getting back to sleep with the new schedule for her pill taking.💗
I imagine it would be some hot outside cutting hair yesterday, I would want to move it inside too.
