Good Morning Kids! It is seriously gloomy out today. We ran the grill last night, since we've got a lot of rain in the forecast, and since the coals got REALLY hot, cooked up enough meat to last for days. The numbers didn't quite work on the house, so we did a counteroffer that was close in price, so now we wait...

busymom good luck with the house and fingers crossed that your counter offer is accepted and that you have a fast/smooth (drama free) closing. Last night I took Mom over to the coast to get some dinner at our favorite seafood place. I had packed a small folding table and a couple of lawn chairs so we could easily socially distance and not have to worry who had used the picnic table before us etc. The weather was nice, but they didn't include my cup of chowder that came with my meal. I was really looking forward to that.

Good afternoon all, I am enjoying a nice lunch that I put on the grill. I picked up a good deal at the store. I figured that is a whole lot better than the golden arch club even though it is free fries Friday with a minimum purchase. I am looking forward to a nice weekend.
I hope you all are having a good day. oakheart

Good Morning Kids! We got up early this morning as our local grocery store had some great weekend specials. Like, corn on the cob for 10 cents an ear. And, they are nice, big, bicolored ears of corn.

It was very gloomy here this morning. The sun is shining now. Humidity is way down from the last few days, so it feels so much nicer.
I cleaned the bathroom and have laundry going.

Hello dear peeps. A sad day, as it was the day of my friend's funeral. I thought it was a memorial service, since he passed almost two weeks ago. Nope. The body was there, open casket. I am Jewish, and my people don't do open casket. So it gives me the heebee jeebees big time. And it did not help that the family hosted a social gathering afterwards, with food, in the next room, which had a window looking out at the dear departed. Fortunately, my friend "J" was there for moral support. He's pretty devastated by this so it was good we were there for each other. I got some work done around the house before I went to the service, and did swim this morning. Sometimes, routine is a good thing.

NancysSummerSip I just found out another of my high school friends passed away from COVID19. Both had retired to Florida. Ages 74 and 72.

Wow! An open casket after 2 weeks? So sorry, NancysSummerSip. Personally, less than a week after death is typical here for an open casket funeral. ken a.k.a OMK, I'm so sorry about your friend. I'm glad I'm out of Florida, as the governor there doesn't have 2 brain cells to his name.

NancysSummerSip I just found out another of my high school friends passed away from COVID19. Both had retired to Florida. Ages 74 and 72. My friend was 77, so same age group. This is worse than God's waiting, room thanks to the politics of all of this. It's the devil's death bed, it seems.

My fear is as we head into fall more and more of us will know someone affected by COVID.

Hot, hot day out there. Someone in town started a neighborhood running group, which I thought was nice until I found out they START running at 8 am. It's like a gazillion degrees by then. Note to you lazy sleep-ins....you gotta get up sooner than that. People will melt onto the sidewalks, I tell ya.

Good Morning Kids! We did online church, and Bible study is just starting up. So, I'll grab a plate while I'm listening. Wow NancysSummerSip! So many good options! What to choose, what to choose... Frankly, I've been eating TOO WELL lately. The corn on the cob last night was fabulous. And, we've discovered where the cucumbers were hiding in the garden, so we've got cucumbers to go with our fresh tomatoes.

Thanks for brunch NancysSummerSip. I will snack on it during my zoom meeting. Virtual food has no calories? I need to cut back.

Good Evening Kids! It's been a long day, for a Monday, but I feel like we've gotten a few things accomplished.
It looks like we are making a deal on selling the house. With COVID-19 & all, I won't believe it until there's a check in my bank account.
Ate too good for dinner once again. We ate the last of the corn on the cob, along with some meatballs. The weather has been sunny & cool all day long.

Good Morning all, Everything is going well on my end. Except the 6 really tiny ants I saw in the kitchen when I woke up. So I took care of that with the spray. Those little buggers.
The guard fish I have in the kitchen must have been napping on the job last night so I had a talk with them. - LOL
Anyways I hope you all have a great day! oakheart

Good Evening Kids! Another full day.
We took a walk this evening, as the temps here are very comfortable. I'm afraid I'm going to predict that Fall may be arriving here early, as you can actually feel the "cool" in the air, and our front tree already has some yellow leaves on it.

Yesterday I finally got a smartphone. For years I have been on my Dad's plan for his business. His dementia is getting to the point where this wasn't going to be sustainable anymore. He didn't understand why I wanted a new phone, my old one worked just fine. I knew he would be upset about having to add a data plan. He also couldn't understand the concept of me taking my number with me so I just bit the bullet and got a whole new number. Now to get all those double factor authentications set to my new number. The last three weeks at work have just been insane, it is starting to wear on me. Onward and upward. Time to find some breakfast. I think this morning will be oatmeal.
