Good Morning Kids! It's cloudy & cooler here this morning, although the heat is supposed to return for the weekend. I've got my first dental appointment today since the move. Yippee skippy.

Well, the good news is, I only have a few cavities. But, since they're on opposite sides of my mouth, I'll have to schedule 2 visits. I don't want to leave the dentist with a completely numb mouth. I discovered a temporary farmer's market that was set up close to the dentist, so of course I had to stop & buy a couple of things...

I do not think my dentist office has opened. When I called the office to find out if my July appointment was on the phone was routed to another office. I think I may have to find a new dentist. Going to give it another month to see if the office is reopening.
I usually see the dentist every 4 months. Saw them in March right before the shut down.
Need to get moving for the day. Very muggy.

Good Evening Kids! It has been a very long day, as I've basically been working on paperwork since I had my morning caffeine. And no, I'm not done yet. Just taking a break.

It was a long day here too. Took Mom to the cardiologist today for her annual check up. Everything was good, the afib hasn't returned. Her appt was at 10:15 and she insisted that I pick her up at 9:30. We were a half hour early. Then it was no one in the building except the patients, thankfully I had brought a book to read so I sat in the car and waited. Then Mom wanted to go to the bank and of course because she got out of the house we had to stop and get a carmel latte. Thankfully my boss is understanding and I had told him that there would be extra stops etc. Mom is fighting me on driving. She insists that no one told her she shouldn't drive after surgery and that she is perfectly capable of driving. She could barely get into my car then she had to sit there and gather herself, because of pain, before shutting the door and putting the seat belt on. Yep really ready to drive and react in case of an emergency.

I was SO thankful, Sharon, when my Mom realized that it wasn't safe for her to drive anymore, so it didn't come to us arguing about it. Even if it did mean I had to drive her to doctor appointments, etc. Hang in there! Good Morning Kids! It's gonna be a hot one today. I need to hit the paperwork, hard.

We were lucky with my parents, too. Mom decided to let dad do all the driving and didn't renew her license. When they moved here, dad was totally lost. Nothing looked like it did 20 years. He decided to give up his license and the car went to oldest grandson.

Update: Well - I did not stop for lunch since I found a good price on a piece of steak for the grill. So that's that. I hope no vegetarian's that read this think that is just yuck. If so sorry. I am waiting for my girlfriend to get home from work.

No need to apologize, oakheart. At our house, when we run the grill, we usually cook enough meat for several meals.

No need to apologize, oakheart . At our house, when we run the grill, we usually cook enough meat for several meals. That's what I did, is put it on the grill. So this is how it happened I received a job when I was at the grocery store I then drove about 12 miles away and did the job. I had everything I needed to get it done. Then when I came home the grill got fired up ASAP. So now I have to make room for the pizza. But that will be about 7:30 PM CST - LOL So I am good.

I am waiting for my girlfriend to get home from work. Thank you for reminding me that I had leftover steak from the other night. The grocery store had a pkg of two small steak marked down due to the sell by date. That and a piece of corn on the cob was dinner. My grill isn't working at the moment and I need to figure out why, just haven't had the time. Hope you enjoyed your steak.

Hmmmmm...must be something in the air. I had a small steak last night. Had not had one in ages. Salad on the side and a fresh nectarine for dessert. Weather looks good for the early part of the day today, but rain for later. Just laundry on the chore list at the moment.

Hi Kids! It's just a couple minutes until noon here. DS & I did our errands early today, as we've got thunderstorms in the forecast for this afternoon.

I did a stirfry for dinner, using a vegetable-noodle-sauce kit I had never tried before. Fresh vegetables, packaged wheat noodles and teryaki sauce all together and you just add a protein. It was pretty good, even if it did have kale in it.

And I just spent some money on customized hair care products -- shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Getting the chlorine, sweat and dirt off is a sticky situation. So it's splurge. Not buying much else these days, except food, medicine and paper goods. Speaking of which, we are going to Costco tomorrow. DH is just happy to get out of the house.

Good Morning all, I have a nice day planned of not doing much. Two days ago one of my neighbors had his car rummaged thru the guy said his wallet was stolen from the glove box. Now I just don't understand why he didn't lock it in the driveway. Really dumb in my opinion. He was to lazy to lock the car and remove valuables. The villages and police departments always remind residents to lock your cars, It is called the #9pmroutine. Anyways I hope you all have a great Sunday!

We are forecast for 100 degrees today, yuck. I need to get out and get some work done in the garden and then get everything watered before the heat hits. Then I will just hunker down in the house and probably putter around. DD and I got the pickles canned yesterday. I need to wash the jars off and then put my half of the pickles away and put DD's back into her little market basket thingy.

Good Morning Kids! Online service at church is done, and I'll be joining a Bible study in a few minutes. I was raised in the city, oakheart, so I've never understood why some people leave their wallet in their car, or leave cars unlocked. In the city, your car is more likely to be broken into than your house. Also, I've never understood why some folks leave their houses unlocked. My IL's never locked their house, except at night, until someone in their community was murdered by a stranger, THEN they made sure their doors were locked.

I have mostly lived in cities prior to living here. I never leave things in my car. I carry the title with me. I don't leave it in the car.
Same with locking the house.
Periodically, our small town's police department will remind people to lock their cars and not to leave things in the car on Facebook.
I always park my car in the garage, too. I may have a few days next month when new windows will be in the garage and there will not be room for the car.

Morning all just returned from outdoor church.
