HELLO LADIES ~ Well, we just stayed home today: our plans for the day got ruined becuz it did nothing but pour and pour and pour. It all turned out OK though as I managed to get our place cleaned up a bit; had gotten a tad neglected as I was spending so much time cleaning everywhere else. 
Thank goodness, it never gets too far away from me. DH pouted all evening cuz he wanted to take some stuff over to the cottage today. Just when you'd think it was gonna let up ... another downpour would start up. So I encouraged him to get everything ready and put it in the livingroom so that early tomorrow AM, he can load up the car and take it to the cottage.
There have been some unforseen delays; the plumbers didn't show up to fix the pipe, so DH told the owner that if they don't show up today, he will fix it himself. Thankfully, he is indeed a good handyman himself; he already fixed the damaged door frame already. We got the cottage all cleaned up and now just have to take things over and set up. SIS & BIL will be arriving tomorrow evening sometime.
So, I have been a busy camper, but took a few breaks out to read a book called "ROSANNAH OF THE AMISH". Very interesting true story about Pennsylvania Amish people and how they live. They are very hard-working and devout people. I have met some in our own lives and found them very pleasant, but not as strict as the ones in the book were. The story took place in the early nineteen hundreds I think, so maybe that is why.
HI MEOWEE ~ yah, we had that humid and heavy rain all day today too. Sorry to hear you have a migraine problem: don't envy anyone with that. My DH gets them a lot too, but thankfully for him, they don't last too long. Water is often the culprit in fluctuating weight gain/loss; I get this all the time. That will come off again real soon ...
HEY PURPLE ~ WOW, you got a lot of laundry and ironing done in one day; good for you girl. Some days I can do more and then the days in between, I have to rest and relax, in order to recover. When we were kids, we lived in a large park with twin lakes and the owner (sweet guy) brought in row boats which we could take out on the lakes for free and go swimming at the shore.
My mother would say, "where else can you take a bunch of kids for so much fun for the day with a picnic and all for free?" That man earned lots of ANGEL POINTS for himself in his life; supplying small cottages for very low rent to the poorest families in town. Yah, he was indeed AN ANGEL: his name was Mr. Stanley.
HEYA VALDINE ~ hope you are having a great CANADA DAY weekend; and getting lots of rest in between your two jobs. When I was young, I had two jobs for a while until I could find one that could carry me better. I worked in a long-term care facility and part-time at a group home at the same time (for only a year or two). When we are young, we seem to be stronger or something; as we get older, our bodies start to complain at us big time, telling us to give ourselves a break already
....Well, that's all the news from here for now; take good care of yourselves ladies, your friend
ROSEBUD
Guess I'll be doing my 5K on the Gazelle. 
). So the book store will be my first port of call as my DH will be carrying these heavy bags. We do not normally have so many to take back but with the exacerbation in my condition I did not venture into the city. The city is about 5 miles away and because I am disabled we get free parking in the car park belonging to the shopping centre ( shopping mall ) We have 2 shopping centres in my city one either end of the town but I rarely go to one and have not been there for years. In the shopping centre I am going in it has an indoor market which over the years has got somewhat smaller till they just housed them upstairs (was up and down stairs) on the one floor.
but I enjoyed it never the less 
I do not think the dog was quite so enthusiastic as me 
mind you he hates water so that explains it. Unfortunately on his return he had to have his paws washed and his tummy as they where black from the surface water that had splashed on him.
