Good Evening Kids! My contractor stopped by for a short time today, as we're still doing some planning on how we're going to schedule things this coming week. We need good weather, and the forecast keeps changing (we need no rain). It actually got into the 80's today, which is high for the beginning of May, but a nice change.

I ran this morning, but the heat is no joke. I carry water, and may need to revert back to my larger bottle for these summer runs. I want to finish mowing the back lawn later. The laundry is done. DH is going in for medical tests Tuesday, so I will be tied up a lot of that day.

Wow, NancysSummerSip! Those fruit crepes look divine! Good Afternoon Kids! It's cloudy & gloomy today, but at least the temp is comfortable.

Just started cleaning the bathrooms, and refrigerated a freshly baked banana bread. It turned out more like a cake, since it is moister, but I tried a slice and it is very good.

I am not sure I know what a floffle is...? A floffle is my 3 year old Granddaughter wanting Waffles for breakfast. We made floffles for Saturday morning breakfast. I have new aspirations though. Saturday evening in the hotel I was watching Guy Feiri and he was visiting this restaurant where they were serving Red Velvet Waffles with a cream cheese drizzle. I need to get my car washed. Driving up all those gravel farm roads really does a number on the car. Then I parked under a couple of trees to get as close to the door as possible for my Mom. The birds just went crazy on the car. At one point I came out of the hotel and had a bird egg that had cracked onto the hood of the car. Last night the wind really kicked up and I drove over a few tumble weeds on the on the way back to the hotel. This morning I pulled part of a tumble weed off the front of my car.

My car looks like that from driving on country roads to see baby. I'm waiting until they leave to clean it. It definitely needs it.

Y’all, I feel like my life has been a lie up until today. Well, as far as crab cakes are concerned anyway!!! I had the most amazing crab cake for brunch. It didn’t have any breading in it. Up until today, all the crab cakes I have ever eaten had breading. I think I have already gained 20 pounds since I moved here. The food is so good!

My dogs insist that they have to go potty so very early. 😂 I am getting ready to walk to the store. I took a nap and woke up wanting to a Brie, fig, and prosciutto sandwich. So off I go to get ingredients.

My stuff should be here sometime between May 9-13th. They can’t tell us which day. We just have to have no life those days and wait for a call from the driver. This has seriously been our worst experience with a mover.

Next time you move, imanangel, send me a message, and I'll tell you about our moving company. Not the cheapest in the world, but we were VERY pleased with their work. Good Afternoon Kids! My contractor showed up & did some work this morning.

At least you aren't staying in your parents' bedroom while you wait. I had to do that once. Then I was moving in to a brand new apartment building. The landlord (two buildings so not a corporate landlord) didn't bother to tell me there were no phone lines for about 3 more months.
When I moved here, I had to stay at my sister's house. We weren't sure for how long as it was the closing that was up in the air, not the mover. My realtor did nothing after the contract was signed to help get the house closed. It was my loan officer and the seller's realtor who got this thing to close and I only stayed there a couple of nights.

Good Evening Kids! The contractor didn't show today, although he did call. I'm tired. Is it really only Thursday?

Hiya peeps! I am enjoying the first watermelon of the season. We got heavy rain yesterday but today is nice. I put in about 45 minutes outside after dinner, pulling weeds.

Good Morning Kids! Happy Mother's Day! Thanks for serving up breakfast, NancysSummerSip. (I've already had the breakfast of champions--apple pie & ice cream.)

Good Morning Kids! Well, I've already gotten my first walk of the day in, plus I got my hair trimmed. (You still need to make an appointment a couple of weeks ahead. Must be a good time to own a beauty salon. But, masks are still required. I'm impressed those ladies still manage to do a good job.) Well, I'd better get back to my "to do" list...

I thought maybe I should check in. Lately I have been in such a funk that I haven't posted much. I'm trying to pull myself up and get on with life and get back to healthier state of mind. Today after work I forced myself to work in the yard for about 1 1/2 hours after work. Now I'm working on cleaning up an old oil lamp that I brought home from my Dad's.

I feel your pain I was in a funk before my father died I am finding it very difficult to get to a good place in my head.

There are days when I'm still in a funk about my dad. It might change if my sister would give me the last 3 items I am to receive. There will be hell to pay if she tossed the first two. My dad has paintings done of his brothers during WWII. If that is gone, I will be very unhappy.
