Good Morning! Heat and humidity return today but at least it’s still comfortable this morning. Sunny and 69 at 8:30 AM going up to 93. Yesterday I washed two loads of laundry. Today I need to do more laundry. I also need to do more grocery shopping. I finally got a response from my stylist and she had an opening for next Thursday morning so I need to wait another week to get my much needed hair cut. Next Friday morning is when I was able to schedule the Fall preventive maintenance on our furnace. This pic was taken back… Read more »
Hi Kathy,
Kitties being a bit nosey.😊
So sorry your temps will be soaring again but it must have been nice having a little reprieve. Hopefully soon you will be more comfortable.
I need a haircut very badly also. I have to take the time to do it soon.
I have certainly enjoyed the break from the heat and humidity. Hopefully this next heat wave won’t last very long.
Good morning Not much news. Rick grocery shopped yesterday and I washed one load of clothes and ironed my capris. Our high was 99° and we have chances of rain every day so I hope we get some. Gosh I havent walked for two weeks after I hurt my leg getting off the stool. I have been icing it but its not easy to ice the back of your leg. We have a bank appt at 9:00a m this morning, I have a list…need to check on our fraud case, no one has been in touch. We want to close… Read more »
Hi Ardy,
I hope you will get some rain they are predicting.
Sorry you haven’t been able to walk. There are some things that can happen to the back of the knee like Meniscus tear or Baker’s Cyst which I thought you had in the past but I might be wrong?
I had a Bakers cyst behind the left knee for years and then had it drained and it never filled up again.
I thought I remembered you had that problem. I am very happy for you that the Bakers cyst never returned. 💗
Thanks me too. If ever does i will have it drained again. It has lasted quite a few years now.
Hi Ardy
I’m so sorry your leg still hurts and prevents you from taking your morning walks. I hope your bank appointment goes well. I turned 73 in July and will need to take a withdrawal from my IRA.
It is slowly getting better, I dont want to walk and aggravate it.
I want to with draw now so i dont have to twice in 2027
Good morning, 70 degrees going up to 79. Sun is shining through the windows. We are going to stay until tomorrow we decided. I am going to get out for a walk this morning, the nice weather is calling me out. Time to get back to getting some exercise. The road at the camp is not safe to walk on with trees overhanging and traffic goes pretty fast usually. The community here has safe roads and there are all the woods paths. I always walked Danny on those paths it will be hard at first. I planted Morning Glories but… Read more »
Hi Jenn.
Enjoy your walk I wish I could do the same but my legs will not allow it now.🙄😘
Hi Jenn
Morning Glories are pretty. Do they flowers last all day once they open?
Hope your walk goes well.
I thought maybe you and Denny would change your minds about getting a dog?
Generally the Morning Glories open early but by noontime heat they close up.
We are not sure yet about a dog, we would want a Collie since it is the breed we love. Just do not know if it can happen.
Like moon flowers, come out at night and they are done after the morning sun is on them.
Do the same flowers open the next day? Moon flowers do not.
Hi Jenn
I’m sorry your Morning Glories didn’t do well 😕
😥
Good morning. Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam. A cool night will have to put on a warmer duvet today but at least we have the duvet to handle heatwaves now. Just 40F this morning at 7-00. just a high of 65F today with the odd shower forecast. Slept a bit longer last night to 6-00 so a bit later going for the paper, needless to say we ran into heavy traffic so around 8-00 it seems is rush hour time, must avoid that time in future. Glenda’s laundry day today and it looks like there will be no hanging… Read more »
Good morning Ice
Oh my time to put the warmer duvet on, hard to believe after you hot summer. Glad you finally found one for summer.
Do you have a clothes dryer
Hi Andy.
Warmer Duvet fitted, probably have a heat wave now.lol.
When we had the family we had a clothes drier, but with just the two of us much too expensive to run these days.😀😘
I like a dryer for towels I line drive with my clothes still.
Good morning Ice,
70’s are nice temperature days for sure.
Sorry Glenda has to hang clothes inside today. Was she able to dry clothes outside with the 90 degree days you had this summer?
Kiddos back to school over here too.😀
Hi Jenn.
70F just the ticket I can stick this no problem.
That was one good thing in the heat waves Glenda could dry the clothes outside for weeks.😘
I thought she did. That is the best!
I have a clothesline at camp and often brought home clothes from the laundromat to hang out. Also if towels are wet from showers I hang them to dry outside.
when it’s hot like that here, it’s also humid…so the clothes don’t dry very fast and just feel damp..better to be a bit cooler with a nice breeze here to dry clothes on the line;
Hi Ice
Love the cute kitty greeting GIF 😻
Yard/garden watering option
😂
😂😘

Good Morning! Sunny and a delightful 64 this morning going up to 89.
Yesterday I got my shopping done at The Fresh Market and got the ground sirloin prepared for the freezer. Today I’ll be focused on laundry and have my first load in the washer. I also need to call and schedule the twice a year regular maintenance on our HVAC system and hope they’ll be available for one day next week.
Hi Kathy.
Hope you have fine weather for your laundry day.😘
Thank you Philip 😘
Good morning Kathy
Good morning, Today is going to be cloudy with possible late showers. Yesterday was another beautiful day. Denny finished staining this last side of the addition. He climbed up on the roof because he had to reach the top corner boards he could not reach from the ladder. He found it was very slippery and I was scared half to death😱 He realized it was pretty dangerous finally and I got a ways up on the ladder kind of steadying him getting his feet onto the ladder while clinging to the roof. I love that it is all finished and… Read more »
Hi Jenn
Glad nothing happened to Denny.
That looks very nice now that you are finished staining it.
Thank you Ardy. Very happy with it.
Looks great!
Hi Jenn.
Cabin looks a real treat, good job Denny kept his balance and used the ladder😀😘
It was so scary. I had gone inside and came out and he was up there. Crazy.
Hi Jenn
So very thankful Denny didn’t slide off of the slippery roof 😇 The staining of the addition looks great!! Enjoy your time in Brunswick 😊
WOW!! It looks gorgeous 💖 So glad Denny was able to keep his balance 🙏
