Nothing happening except the weather is a little cooler this week. Hot again tomorrow though.

Where did Gma22 go?

Thank you Jean. I miss hearing of her knitting and cruising!

Good Afternoon! It's hot and humid again today. The air is still on, I don't know how we ever lived without it but I do remember our first window air conditioner when I was a kid. That was a very long time ago. We are heading to Sioux City for supper with Beth and family. Maddy turns 18 on Wednesday and Bob will be hauling tractors, for a friend, to a threshermans show. It is held every year featuring certain brands of tractors. Anyone wanting to display a tractor is welcome to come. They have old time machinery to demonstrate, home made food and treats, quilts and items hand made. It was cancelled last year due to COVID so area people are really looking forward to it.
Church counting didn't take much time this morning but I was interrupted by the doorbell to let people in for the ESL camp. The gift shop was closed on Friday and again today so won't have money to count until Friday. I was a little irritated no one let me know and I went both days. It's a good thing I can park by the door to run in and out since the parking lot is a hike. I got my new laptop this afternoon and it is smaller than my old one. It will take some getting used to as things are located differently. I went to the dealer and he did all the setting up for me. I thanked him several times and he just said he thought it would be easier for me if he did it rather than me trying to do it on my own. How right he was! I'm sure he realized how challenged I would be and probably return with a messed up laptop for him to fix.

I need to get a move on and change clothes. Enjoy the rest of your day!

Morning
We kept nephew A's 3 kids and him this past week end. They were so happy to see him and he them. The boys played on the devices till it made me nervous. and the almost two year old was into everything. But isn't that what they do. It made me tired.
Going to get out and try to finish the lawnmowing. It's hot with humidity but I will take frequent breaks.
Talked to my doctor yesterday about my newly diagnosis of copd. My inhaler is working but I still get shortness of breath when I walk. He thinks my airways are tightening up so he prescribed a rescue inhale for me. Think I will use the inhaler before I walk.
My friend is on this conspiracy theory kick and tomorrow the Emergency Broadcasting System is going to run a test that will affect every one. but not for as long as she thinks. I may be surprised.

Jean
Happy birthday to your grand daughter. And I bet you will get used to the new computer. I need one but not going to do it anytime soon. Need to do some things on the house first.

Good Evening! More humidity than hot today and very foggy this morning. The green gunk continues to grow and move from place to place on the lake, stinks too. I was Mrs. Clean this morning and accomplished more than I thought when I got a text about lunch bunch at the time I was supposed to be there! I was so focused on wishing Maddy a happy birthday first thing this morning and getting Bob out the door that I never looked at the calendar. Fortunately I was dressed and had makeup on with hair combed so could grab my purse and go. Of course I got behind a tourist gawking at the lake then every stoplight was red on the way. But twelve minutes later I was there. When I got home later I worked on the afghan for awhile. I can only do three rows which is actually six, because they are double, until my fingers start to cramp. I should never have made it so wide so may change that to be the length.

Ceejay, kids do give you an different perspective when you are not used to having them around full time. I’m glad they got to spend time with their dad too. I must not have the emergency alert on my phone since I didn’t get it. Bob heard it on the radio but we didn’t get it at the restaurant. I am sick of Cuomo news! I had forgotten he was Sandra Lee’s SO a long time ago, I miss seeing her on the food network. Hope your new inhaler helps when you want to walk.

Have a nice evening and a terrific Thursday tomorrow!

Good Afternoon! It's a beautiful day in my neighborhood, 81 degrees, sunny, leaves are barely moving, and low/no humidity, and quiet. No one is mowing and that is rare! I've done some laundry and just putzed around sorting through magazines and recipes I've saved way too long thinking "someday." I have a few things ready for another SOS box and need to find a box. I also need to vacuum and dust, maybe tomorrow! We went to Zowie's first soccer game yesterday. Her team won and dominated the whole game. We sat on the "home" side, in the shade, even though we were the visiting team and should have been on the opposite side facing the sun. The girls rotated in and out as they were hot; the field is the same size as the football field. As here it was windy so nice sitting in the shade of the press box. She has three games next week but we will only go to one. The best part about soccer is the clock never stops running and the games are either at 4 or 6, so we are home much earlier than baseball or football games.

I need to fold sheets in the dryer and work on the afghan while Baby is sleeping so she won't want to "help!" Have a nice rest of the weekend! We have church in the park tomorrow, with a couple who sings gospel and uses biblical instruments.

On my phone this morning.
Went with sis to Branson yesterday to look for kitchen hardware. we ate bbq for lunch. then she went to Belk and bought a couple of pieces of jewelry. the went by the condo. wow, that place is looking gorgeous. can't wait to see the finished product
woke up to much needed rain this morning.
My niece, 3 cats, a dog, and her fiance are back. She had a couple of interviews on Thursday and started to work on Friday.
Sis has gone to pick up nephew and his kiddos. evidently they are running errands also
not much else is going on

it is hot and humid. the high today is supposed to be 98 but it August and I'm cool inside with the a.c. running. Broke down and added Discovery+on the Roku. Going to like it.
Bought a couple of tops from J.C. Penny this morning via internet.
Nephew called to give me his new phone number. He asked if I could take him to a court date tmo and said I could if his transport didn't work out.. I hope I don't have to start taking him places.. but this is an important day so guess I will if I have to.. don't like to get up that

My ISP is Mediacom. I only have a cell phone and it's from a different company .Thinking about dropping the t.v. part of the package as I've found Peacock, which is free. The only thing is I wouldn't get the local news.

My weekend started on Friday. And it was my 71st birthday. Sis needed to go to Branson to check on the condo and while we were there we ate at Ruby Tuesday's and rode a 150 foot ferris wheel. This was my birthday present. The seat was partly enclosed which I liked for safety reasons. I want to do it again at night when it is lit up.
Saturday we went to Ash Grove with nephew A and his kids. My nieces fiance grilled hamburgers and hotdogs.
Sis was supposed to start disposing of some things out of the house but was to busy doing other things.
Sunday was church. After services we voted on whether to hire a part time or full time pastor. I'm so glad the treasurer was there to give the low down of our finances. Later in the afternoon it was announced that we voted to hire a part time pastor. Our attendance has dropped off and so has giving.

My friend is having or just had colon surgery today. The doctor found cancer in the ascending part of the colon during his colonoscopy. So we will know later what stage the cancer is in.

I'm not doing well with my eating plan. I'm always keep going back to my old ways. Think I'm going to the gym today to get out of the house. I will wear my mask. Also need to start some laundry and go to the grocery store.

Good Afternoon! It is nice and "cool" with low humidity and the usual wind. We have a soccer game at 8 tonight so am trying to decide what to wear and take for jackets. I known I will wear jeans and tennis shoes. It will be pretty dark by then and dark always seems colder to me. I ran some errands this morning and put a load of clothes in the washer. They are drying now so will get them out in a few minutes.

Ceejay, we have Mediacom also but am not very impressed with the WiFi connection. I used to like the ferris wheel but my stomach never liked the first trip from the top down. After that one I was fine. I agree about the night lights! I hope your friend got good news after her surgery, cancer is so scary. You are so good about wearing the masks, I hope we never go back to mandatory wearing them. We still have to at the hospital, doctors’ offices, and dentists.

The dryer is buzzing so I'm off to fold clothes! Enjoy the rest of your day!
