Hello peeps! We are surrounded by rain, but not sure if the storms will hold together or not before arrival. Went to Walmart and got out fast; surprisingly quiet. Found almost everything. Still need dental floss and masks, but I can get those at another Walmart after I swim tomorrow.

Good Evening Kids! It's been a long week, for being a short holiday week. My contractor came over today, to finish up some work on the front steps.
DD will be by tomorrow for us to continue a family tradition to remember 9/11: we always watch the 9/11 Special, the one done by the French film crew that was following the New York Fire Department around, and just happened to be filming when 9/11 was happening. It's difficult to watch, but worth watching to remember all of those lost. Both innocent civilians, and the brave firemen & policemen who ran towards the danger.

Did want to bring some food and beverage, though. I ran this morning and then we moved an old couch out of the way to make room for the new one, which is arriving before the old one leaves.

Good Afternoon Kids! I'll grab a drink, NancysSummerSip. Thank you! I've lost 25 pounds, and I'm trying to keep it off.

Oh, and my niece is going to stay with us overnight in two weeks so I need to get this room tidy. Have not had a guest in the guest room in years.

Good Evening Kids! It's been a full day, being DS's birthday, I baked a cake, etc. for the big day. I also got a bit of shopping in. I can't believe the sun is already getting ready to set.

Good Morning Kids! Speedy spotted the fox this morning, and actually barked & ran towards it. But, the fox was on the other side of the fence, and seemed to know it was safe. But, the fox DID hide in the weeds, but then peeked out to keep an eye on Speedy.

This has been the week from you know where, I've had a headache since Tuesday. Starting tonight and into the weekend we are supposed to get the first major rain storm in a long time. DD and family will be arriving late tonight for the weekend.

Happy Friday Muffins!!!
I think we might finally see the end of the longest summer ever next week! I looks like closer to normal temps for this time of year. What a relief.
Have a Fabulous Weekend!!!

Happy Friday peeps! I had a day off yesterday but spent a lot of it moving the new couch and all the furniture around, then chasing the dustbunnies.
Everything looks good, though. I have a race tomorrow, but should be back late in the a.m.

YAY! For the couch! Good luck with the race.

How did the birthday go? Pretty well, thank you. We don't eat out these days, with Covid and all, plus DS is considered to be more vulnerable than average, so we ate at home. I made his cake using my Mom's recipe for frosting, which just happens to be my kid's favorite.

Well, paperwork season has begun once again. I'm responsible for DS, and another relative. With Covid, the time of the year to turn it all in has changed, so now I have it all coming my way in the Fall, instead of Spring. The first batch I got completed, and delivered to the post office today. I have two more batches to look forward to...

I am back, peeps! Foot held up well, but dang, it was hot out there. No trees, no shade, though we did get some cloud cover. I am happy to have finished this one. Cleaned up and everything put away and laundry running. Dinner is pasta with lobster bisque (made by my fish store) and extra lobster. I figure it's a good treat for a hard day.

Things are quiet at my place at the moment. DD and family got in late last night, we visited just a short bit while getting the kids ready for bed. I heard DD up with DGD in the middle of the night but thought it was a potty run, nope DGD threw up. She threw up again after breakfast this morning. They are all in town this weekend to celebrate my birthday which is coming up soon. DD and I did some things to get ready for the party tonight and she was also doing wash. DSIL took DGS1 and they are off seeing some of his friends. DD made the bed up with clean sheets and then laid down on top and has been asleep for over 2 hours. I was overseeing the other two grandkids and they have since both fallen asleep. Everyone is getting much needed naps, well except for me.

I got DS out for a haircut this afternoon. I thought Great Clips would be full of customers, but nope. There were actually people working there, waiting for something to do. Maybe everyone got their hair cut before back to school?

Happy birthday (party), since I don't know when your birthday is! Nice that everyone came, to honor you and help you celebrate. I hope your DGD gets feeling better and no one else gets sick. Enjoy!

The first batch I got completed, and delivered to the post office today. I have two more batches to look forward to... Rep payee type of paperwork. I had to do that when I was a volunteer rep payee. It was a pain, but I kept good records.

Busy day ahead. I need to strip the guest bed and wash the bedding, as my niece will be here at the end of the week. Also filing the papers that have piled up. We are heading out shortly to get some extra pillows and a throw to gussy up the new couch ensemble. Also heading to our favorite Italian gourmet grocery store after that -- dinner will be whatever looks good there to take home. Today was a post-race rest day, though I do feel better than expected.

Good Afternoon Kids! We went to church this morning, then DD brought a main course over, so we're having our "big" meal at lunchtime today. At least that'll make dinner easy on me. Thank you for serving up brunch, NancysSummerSip!
