Good morning to you all. Jack is upstairs showering to go to work so I thought I would sneak in and post real quick. He sits and plays solitaire on the computer while he eats breakfast so I try not to be on the computer when he gets downstairs.

Gail: Sounds like you are kept busy with the grandkids. Hope you dgd didn't attract too much dirt yesterday. I just have to put the house out of my mind. I am a real cleannick and it is in pretty poor shape, but I know I can't do it and I am not going to expect Jack to do anything but the necessary stuff so I just have to bide my time.

Jean: Sounds like the end is near! I know you have to be looking forward to being out for the summer. Hamburgers on the grill sounds yummy. We haven't cooked out this year yet. I like food on the grill. It is sure an easier clean up.

Maggie: I think I get more catalogues than anyone. I do order a lot of stuff online, and the minute I order something I am on their catalogue list. A couple places I only ordered one thing and would never order again and am still getting their catalogues. Funniest thing is I somehow got on a new mother list, I guess from ordering baby stuff for Jackson, and now I get diaper samples and stuff like that besides baby catalogues!

It is supposed to be another hot one here today. Sure does zap Jack. He comes home looking like a withered flower. He finds me wrapped up in blankets!

Hope your Thursday is nice!
Faye

Good evening, ladies! We are in for a beautiful weekend in the 70's and 80's, hope you are too.

Have had a busy week - boss is getting ready to go out of town for a week and he always leaves everything until the last minute.

Been planning out the work for this weekend - rearrange the family room and living room and finish cleaning the carpets. That should keep me busy for 3 or 4 days. I had Stan's ramps removed today - turned out to be rather traumatic for me.

Faye, don't rush things - keep your blindfold handy and use it! Stan used to fret, too because he thought I had too much to do but I always found the strength to do it and never gave it a second thought. I knew he would do the same for me and I'm sure Jack does too.

Jean - school's almost over! Hang in there.

Maggie and Gail, we sure have some good cooks here. We should make a cookbook for ourselves.

Have a good evening!

I'm late getting in here today. I got so involved in housework, knitting, and reading. And then when DH got home we went out to get gas in my car. We paid $3.80 for a gallon of regular gas. Premium gasoline is now $4.07 a gallon. Crazy.

I went to the dentist and even though I get my teeth clean every three months, I had a cavity. The dentist said it was the smallest cavity he's ever seen. I was in the chair no more than 15 minutes. If that.

Yes, my youngest granddaughter was with me yesterday afternoon and it was difficult keeping her clean. Of all the things for me to cook for dinner last night I chose spaghetti. I had to wrap her up with a dish towel to keep the sauce of her. Somehow she managed to get a little on her. Not too bad thought. Thankfully, our church is very casual and laid back in what is worn because that's how she went! It's at the end of a cycle of bible study right now. We meet in small groups sitting at round tables. Our group has decided we are going to continue with Wednesday night bible study even though the official church bible study ends for the summer. There's about 6-8 of us in our small group and we've grown close.

Sorry, that I'm not doing personals this evening. I'm tired. But wanted to get in here and say hello.

So...I'm going off line. Hope everyone gets a good night's sleep...type at y'all tomorrow!
