Thanks! Dinner is a super-easy pre-made lasagna. If I am hungry enough by then. Three pieces of fried chicken was so fabulous, but probably too much for breakfast and lunch. Chicken sounds delicious! And I really like lasagna, if it's homemade. If it isn't, I'm always disappointed.

Good Afternoon Kids! And, congratulations NancysSummerSip! Well done! Not a very exciting day here. Just the normal chores. And, I had to take Speedy in to get his nails trimmed. Crazy dog has nails as sharp as any cat, plus, any woman would be jealous of how quickly those nails grow.

Same for Maddow on the nails. He hates for me to trim them. They both do but I can sneak up on Amelia better.
I hear him prancing on the wood floors and it sounds like a woman in high heels.

I made a quick trip back to where I used to live. One of my great nephews was having a birthday party. We had never gotten to celebrate as a family for him due to Covid. DD and the kids went with me. It was a fun party and the younger generation had fun playing together. I think it's important that they get to know each other. It had been a while since I had traveled for any distance with the younger generation in a car. DGD was pushing every button and right now everything is why, why, why. It was a long trip. One the way home we did get a little over 2 hours of silence as they all napped.

I need a looooong walk this morning, after all that food yesterday, so I walked to the local bagel shop and got the paper on the way home. Laundry and dishwasher going at the moment. Had coffee and now sipping on iced tea. Swimming is on TV this afternoon; my coach has some kids competing, so I will be watching.

Good Afternoon Kids! It's another dark & dreary day here. We should be thankful the snow hasn't arrived that had been promised, but there's still plenty of daylight for that to happen.
I'm a bit congested, and it's weird, as it's been a long time since I've had any sort of cold. Might sneak in a nap. Since it's cold out, I'll probably have a warm drink.

We got 4.5 inches of snow yesterday. It's melted already.
It was sunny this morning but it's supposed to rain soon. It's dark and dreary out now, so I think that will happen. At least my sump pump is working.

I hope you get feeling better soon. Yikes. I'm glad your snow melted quickly, @theotherme. I really hope we don't get any more snow this year. I haven't heard a weather report lately.

Good Morning Kids! We got about an inch of new snow last night, but it's already melting, so it'll most likely be mostly gone by dinner. Speedy is happy about the snow, but I am not.
I'm still congested, but taking plenty of zinc & vitamin C, so I'm hoping I'll feel better soon.
There is too much going on here right now. Plus, my relative is back in the hospital. Again.

Sorry to hear about your relative being in the hospital. I'm glad the snow is melting/melted. I really hope your congestion doesn't turn into anything worse than what it is.

Grandma to the rescue this morning. I get a text from DD early this morning, "please check out on the trampoline for pup pup". I go outside and pup pup isn't on the trampoline, or in the tree house, or anywhere in that general area. I also check the sewing room since I had repaired a rip in the seam of the shirt that DGD had been wearing. No pup pup to be found. DD then says to check by the green slide. I already had since the slide comes off the tree house balcony and I had checked that whole area, but I checked it again. When I came back in, on a whim, I checked the spare bedroom and there was pup pup on the bed. I was glad he hadn't spent the night outside since it had rained. DD came by after dropping DGD off at school and we gave pup pup back to DGS1. Pup pup got the biggest hug and a kiss.

Whew! Major crisis avoided! Well done! For us, it would be Lambie. Luckily DGD2 is fairly easily talked into another animal, temporarily. Like for one nap. But Lambie better be there before it's time for her to sleep the next time.

Good Afternoon Kids! It's another dark, dreary & rainy day. Of course, we don't have to worry about the nasty storms & tornadoes like they're getting down South, so it's hard to complain.
I did have a visitor this morning, which was nice. With Covid, I've really gotten out of the habit of entertaining. I've enjoyed the quiet time, but might have to "dust off" some old recipes that I haven't used in awhile, as more people start visiting again.

We are still very windy today. Sunny but windy. I have plenty to do inside so will do that this afternoon after work.

It's extremely windy today.
The morning sunshine has turned to clouds and drizzle.
Overnight we got another half inch of rain. At least it was while I was sleeping.

It looks REALLY nice outside today. It isn't. 🤔 The sun is shining, but it's cold and windy. Very deceptive. At least it isn't stormy! I'll take it! 🙂

I feel like my place is now officially a farm. I am the proud owner of 3 baby chicks. They aren't here yet as my DD is going to raise them with the 8 she got. She has the brooder box, lights etc. Everything the babies need, which is good because now I need to get a coop and get it set up. I think DD said it would be about 4 months before I started getting eggs.
It was beautiful outside today and I worked on my lawn with my little lawn mower, which came back from the repair shop today. There was a little break while I watched the two youngest. DD wanted to give DGD a special treat so she got to go with Mommy, all by herself, to pick up the chicks.

Good Evening Kids! It's been a full day once again. DS had an appointment at the ortho, and I really needed to get some groceries. The weather is totally yuk once again, raining off & on for most of the day.

Good Afternoon Kids! It's been raining AND snowing here most of the day, but the snow doesn't seem to be sticking.
DS had a good visit with his neurologist, but it's time to schedule another EEG, just to monitor how he's doing. It's always something...

Hi Kids! Whew, what a day, and it's only lunchtime.
I got a telephone call from the surgeon who's going to do the work on my relative. You may recall my relative has been waiting since the beginning of the year to get a surgical procedure completed. As it turns out, his surgeon had gone in for surgery himself, and was angry when he found out no one else had scheduled my relative's surgery. This is a major medical group here in our state, so it's not good when someone drops the ball. The doctor is going to get everything scheduled to be done in the next 2 or 3 weeks, and went over with me possible complications, which seem reasonable. I'm just glad someone is finally taking the lead in making sure things get done. Doesn't say a lot for large medical groups, does it?

busymom I'm glad your relative is finally get the attention from the surgeons that he needs. Looks like I'm going to have a busy weekend. DD and DSIL had been renting out the home they had in the area of the state where we used to live. They have decided to sell it, while values are still high, and then start looking for some property in our area. It had been a good deal in that the rental income basically replaced DD's income so she could then be a SAHM. The property management company was supposedly doing regular inspections etc. The people were to be out at the end of last month and I guess the house and yard are pretty rough. DD said the carpet has huge big grape juice and play doh stains. Someone had added an additional lock to one of the bedroom doors, which was removed now leaving a big round hold in the door. The "Service" dog ripped up the backyard. There are multiple dead plants in the yard because they didn't water. The kids have decided they need to get down there and see the damage for themselves. I was their realtor who clued them to the damage not the property manager. I guess the property manager is also being a butt about paying for some of the cleaning and fixes. My part in helping with this will be to have DGD and DGS1 stay with me for the weekend. They are 4 and 3 and this will be the first night they have spent away from the parents. I will also have their Australian Shepherd dog. My other duty will be going to their house each day to check on and feed the chickens.
