What's on your plate?
 

Off to a great start..:o I thought it was Monday so took my once weekly fosamax and learned from Mr.Alffe that it's Sunday! :confused:

Probably because we went to the Praise Service at church last evening instead to this mornings regular one. Not sure how I feel about people wearing shorts in the sanctuary.....another sign that I'm getting old and cranky. :p

It's going to be in the 90's again today...hope I don't wear out our pump watering the grass seed. :rolleyes: Curious could you send us some of that rain?

We had a late supper last night...Mr.Alffe cooked some kind of meat on the grill...the butcher assured me it was tender and it wasn't so we ate a lot of salad. :rolleyes:

And what are you all up to???..........

(if I write... I feel like I'm boring or offensive or something .....but I want to talk so very much )
I've gone back to that cleaning house frenzy. I'm emptying closets. Sister and her husband are coming and bringing their truck instead of car. Their neighborhood is having an annual yard sale Friday so they have a great chance to help me. I'm even dumping vast amounts of clothes.
The kitchen cabinets I simply cleaned are now empty. A neighborhood woman came and took a vast amount of books.
It feels good to be rid of stuff.

Hope the yard sale goes well Wren.

Yep - it looks like another scorcher today. I think my husband is going to take me to a river in Michigan and toss me in. Nah - we're going fishing. :p

I've been trying to push myself lately. I decided to make up for the humiliating incident with the woman walking home from the train station. I took a walk with my husband up to the park the other night. A group of neighbors have been meeting there after dark with their dogs for a few years now. They are all used to seeing me stumble through the park. :rolleyes:

As we approached I noticed a new dog in the crowd, and a woman yelled out my name - but used my MAIDEN name. HUH? :eek: We went to school together - from kindergarten through high school! She's caring for her elderly mother and recently bought the home next to her mom. Sue and I used to play in that park when we were kids. It was nice having her there with us.

Good Morning Alffe, Wren, and KathyM!!!!!

Looks like it's going to be another HOT :eek: day here...

Not much going on in my little corner of the world... just sitting here listening to the tv in the other room.

My only plans for today... staying out of the heat!!


Wren... Talk away!!! I have never found your words to be boring, offensive or "something".

Alffe... hope the little seedling grass doesn't get burnt in this heat!!

Kathy... have fun fishing! Sounds like a nice day!!!! Isn't it great when and old friend comes back into your life!!!


Have a GREAT day all!!!
:hug: :hug: :hug:

We're going to church then having lunch with my FIL. Later on this afternoon we'll go to dads grave....We had to take my FIL to the hosptial yesterday morning... we suspected appendicitis but it turned out to be him having a UTI and diverticulitis.... {{{HUGS}}}}

Ask me again later when wake up and find some energy. :thud:

Hi Alffe, I sometimes get my days mixed up. I got up to go to church but went back to bed. I was depressed this morning and had that feeling that something bad was going to happen so I hid under the covers.

Wren, please write away anytime. I wish I had your energy to clean today.

Kathy, it's hot here to in VA but for some reason it doesn't feel as hot as they said it was going to be. Lake Michigan huh?

Abbie, staying out of the heat sounds like a plan.

Goofy, thank goodness it was not you FIL appendix.

Doody, I can relate to the energy thing.

My path crossed with my neighbor I had the crush on today when he was getting in his car and I was walking down the parking lot. I said hi and he said hi. Mind you, our hi's were mumbled but non the less we spoke to each other which is a start. I mean, why can't everyone get along after all? We are neighbors and shouldn't have to be ignoring one another.

What am I doing today.... well, listing on eBay is on my plate...

phoned son number 2 (25) - he was going thru the drive-thru with his friend who is a Dad (LOL... my God, things have changed - isn't he supposed to be with his baby and wife or at least with their fathers?...) - my Son's Dad is off fishing for the weekend so that excuses him.

My own Dad is in heaven. He has been gone a long time and altho he played a huge emotional role in my life, he wasn't present in the physical sense.

So today I've touched base with a few friends, watched an interview with Elton John (its still on), watched the wind blow the leaves on the trees (inside out - which means its going to rain), watched people go in and out my building and the one across the street (condos for sale in the $400 thousand dollar range - that's what happens when the Olympics come to your city - outrageous prices), checked my bank account online and gasped, and worked on a blanket I am knitting for a baby (my best friend is a gramma). OH, and I changed the kitty litter and did the dishes! LOL

Nice to touch base with all of you here! xoxoxo :grouphug:

The coffee was a tad strong this morning so I'm starting the day with a jolt. ;)

I had a pm from an old friend inquiring about another old friend from BT and I had no news to share. It occured to me in the looking that we have no cancer forum here, or specifically breast cancer forum. I did find some posts under Womens Health but men also get breast cancer so that seems a little one sided.

I also couldn't find where one can request new forums...perhaps I'm just missing it. :confused:

There was a front page article in yesterdays paper about who is going to pick the fruit crops in Michigan if the migrant workers stay away. It's hot, back breaking work that pays little more than minimum wage. Abundant crops at roadside stands are something we take for granted here...my mouth waters just thinking about them.

Still no rain and too hot to work in the yard other than to move the sprinkler.

I wonder if VDW is packing! *grin

I found the link you were looking for Alffe...
