Good Afternoon Kids! It's been a gloomy, cloudy Monday. We were supposed to get rain earlier, but it mostly missed us, so now we're expecting heavy rain in the mid-afternoon. It's a Monday...

I am pleased to discover that the grass seed we planted is already coming up. We'll keep the burlap on it at least a couple more weeks or so, to give it a good start.

Mom and I went out to dinner last night which is something we rarely do since covid, we usually just do take out. This family came in and totally ruined the evening for us. They were loud and obnoxious. They were nasty to each other and the one women had a voice like a bullhorn. I really wanted to go over there and tell her to use her inside voice. We ended up almost rushing our dinners so we could leave and get out of there.

She is directing a play at the local high school, so it's not like they aren't both in town.

I think people need to figure out what works and is socially acceptable in public, again. They need to remember they are out in public and it's not all about them. Sorry your dinner got rushed.

Good Afternoon Kids! Someone hit the "Fall" switch here. It's sunny, but quite cool outside.

It's officially sweatshirt weather here. You don't want to go outside without at least one of them, if not a jacket, too. Yet, the sun is shining brightly...

I almost turned the heat on this morning for a little bit to take the chill off, but toughed it out. It won't be long until the heat is turned on for the fall/winter.

Good Evening Kids! We've been switching back & forth between the furnace & the air conditioner for days... Is it really only Wednesday? It feels like it should be later in the week.

Good Morning Kids! It is dark, and the rain is coming down gently, definitely a fall equinox-type of rain. We FINALLY made it to Friday. Whew!

Hello my pooped peeps! And I do mean exhausted, tired, and worn out. We have not had company in our house since Thanksgiving 2019. Getting ready for company is work! I finished mowing the lawn before dinner and just finished cleaning and polishing the floors. That was my last task. Pool is closed tomorrow, so I am heading out to start trail running again, since it is now over 90 days past surgery. I pass Walmart coming back. so I may stop for a few things. I also need to go to the bank, as we are going out to dinner tomorrow and brunch Sunday. Two meals I don't have to cook.

And I am seriously considering doing it as my "retirement" career. I actually enjoy cleaning, tidying and organizing things.

Nancy, keep in mind that if you become a cleaning fairy you have to clean toilets. Yup. And they can be worse than gross

I am so full of food, I don't think I can even look at food ever again. It was a great dinner, followed by a great brunch. But for me, like five days' worth of food in two days. I need to go outside and do yard work - for about six hours.

I wish I had something I want to eat. I can't even think of anything that sounds good.

My trip East was a bust house hunting wise but enjoyed seeing the grandkids. The drive both ways was super windy, but then that highway is known for the wind. I was glad that I wasn't hauling the trailer. At DD's a couple of great horned owls have been hanging around. It was fun to see them at dusk and in the early morning. That wing span is impressive when they take off.

Sorry you didn't find a house. But I'm glad you got to see your grandchildren. 🙂

I am finally starting to feel slightly less full. I went out and did an hour of yard work. I might be able to eat by Tuesday.

Hi Kids! Sorry I haven't been here much. Too many things to do here this week. At least we've got one nice thing on the calendar: DD's birthday.

On the topic of being too full Mom and I went out and had Chinese food for dinner. I'm stuffed and brought home enough food for probably two more meals.

OMG! busymom It was just yesterday (or maybe as long ago as last week) when she was still in high school. Now she's a college graduate with a job, a home owner ower, and all grown up. When did all that happen? Wish her a happy birthday from your Invsapeep

Believe it or not, she's in her late 20's. I was teasing her this week: "whatever happened to that cute little girl I used to know?"... She's a hard worker. I just wish she could find herself a good boyfriend, but the boys that are in their 20's are even more squirrely than they were when I was her age. Covid isn't exactly helping her to meet new people, either. Oh well, best to wait for a good one.
