Good Afternoon Kids! I did online church & Bible study this morning. Now I'm attempting to get some cleaning done.

I went outside and put the patio back together and did a little yard work, mostly picking up tree branches.

Good Morning Kids! Unfortunately, it's a Monday. And, I'm off to the dentist to get a couple of fillings repaired. Some positive thoughts appreciated!

Good morning all, It sure is nice that the humidity has broken here in metro Chicago. I look out the window and it looks like the raccoons got into the neighbors garbage can as it is all spread out at the curb, Tuesday is collation day. I wait to put it out a little later on, so that sort of thing does not happen.
I am hoping to get a few jobs today? We will see.
It is my sister in-laws birthday today so we need to call her and wish her a good one this morning. (before we forget) - LOL She is a weirdo by the way. It looks like we got the hornets nest under control. That took a lot of work. Anyways nice to chat with you all. Have a great day. Best Regards, oakheart

Good morning everyone. The center of Isaias is going over us. 3.77" of rain so far. No wind. Back yard looks like a pool. Some water in the basement.
ETA. Tornado warning until 12.

Good Afternoon Kids! You be safe, ken a.k.a OMK! We've got strange weather here, too. It feels like Fall. In fact, it cooled down so much last night, that if the house had gotten any cooler, I might have turned on the furnace. Usually about a week after a hurricane hits the coast, we get a lot of wind here, so we'll have that to look forward to. I've been productive. I finished the paperwork that the attorney needs. So, what she gets back from vacation, she should be ready to go.

busymom Ahhhh...I can't remember what fall feels like. Lucky you. Bro told me yesterday that it got cold enough in the UP that they turned off the a/c but will be "hot" again tomorrow with a high of around 75. Sounds like heaven.

I must admit I'm enjoying the cooler temps. But, I am NOT looking forward to Winter. Think of a cool breeze instead of a hot, sticky one. My neighbor is actually outside, refinishing furniture on his patio, because it's "that" comfortable out, & he won't work up a sweat.

Hi all - good morning. My village recently installed two electric vehicle charging stations. I do not have that type of car so we will see. Some people have mentioned who pays for the electricity. Tax payers?

Good Morning Kids! Another very cool night, where once again I woke up & the house felt cold. If this keeps up, I WILL turn on the furnace. I'm not sure who pays for those electric charging stations, oakheart. The first one I ever saw was at a hotel I was staying at. I haven't really looked for one in my community. I tend to drive long distances when I'm on the road, so that type of car wouldn't be very practical for me, personally.

Out where I live those charging stations are fairly common, although I'm not sure who pays for the electricity.
First day of my sorta vacation. I have already logged on to work once today and definitely have a late afternoon meeting but it was nice to sleep in and I have just been puttering around the house doing a little of this and little of that. Tomorrow we should see a little rain, hopefully it is enough to settle the dust.

Good morning all, I have another nice day planned. I hope you have one also. busymom I don't have one of those types of cars either. But the Tesla's sure look cool. Eventually I think the village will start charging the people that hook up the car thru an app and credit card account. So eventually the village will profit from the installation. If it is a success then they might even put more in?
Crossing my fingers for a few jobs to roll in.
Have a great Thursday everyone.

The promised rain arrived this morning. It is still a nice cool day. All the doors are open letting in the fresh air. This morning I sewed for the first time in a long time. I made each of the grandkids a pillowcase. This afternoon I may see if I can find another little sewing project to do.

Good Evening Kids! It's been a busy day, but I've gotten a lot of tasks done today, because tomorrow is our anniversary. We plan to order food from one of our favorite restaurants, but bring it home to eat.

Happy Anniversary busymom. Good morning everyone. Since the big storm Tuesday we are still getting small T-storms. Sunny and 82* at 10 am. We have pizza on Friday nights. Friday may be the busiest pizza night. Or maybe Saturday or Sunday.

Thanks busymom We had many small branches to pick up. Lost 2 tomato plants that were pulled out of the ground. The other 2 seem ok after we up-righted the wire cages. My sunflowers and zinnias didn't do well. Small amount of water on the basement floor made it to the drain or dried up.

Good Saturday morning all, We have an appointment today to get my girlfriends ring checked for maintenance etc. We called last Saturday and set it for today.
After that we most likely will go to the grocery store and pick up a ham for .99 cents a pound that's on sale, and make it tomorrow for dinner. That should give us enough leftovers for another night's dinner and some sandwich slices. It is suppose to get really warm this weekend. Have a great Saturday all. Best regards, oakheart

Thank you Everyone! Yesterday was good, but we celebrated our day a bit differently, due to COVID. We ordered steak dinners online from one of our favorite restaurants, picked up the meals & ate at home. Today is, as my Dad used to say, "good sleeping weather". Cloudy & gloomy. Also, the humidity is supposed to start ramping up once again.

Hello my perfectly fine peeps! I fixed us a really fine lunch -- BLTs and homemade blueberry lemonade. I did use turkey bacon to cut down a few calories, but I probably made them up with the extra mayo.
