Good morning and thanks everybody for the welcome back. It's great to be back.

I have taken one more day off. I'll return to work tomorrow. I needed a "me" day.

My son and older sister have both left foe the Texas Panhandle. Home for my sister, and visiting his other grandmother for my son.

Other sister has gone to work, which leaves me.

It's going to be mid 90s again. I need to get out and do some mowing before we get there.

I hope you all have a super Saturday.

Howdy ho, sweet Joe! Good to see you back, opening the Diner! Glad to hear you're taking a 'me' day! Much needed, I'm sure. Hope your Saturdiner is easy peasy!

Good morning, sweet 'Boomies!

Hubby and I have an investment luncheon at noon given by his colleagues, then we'll see where the day takes us!

Alrighty, gotta skoosh! See you later!

Enjoy your "me" day Joe.

Welcome back Joe; glad you're taking a "me" day.

L4L, know what you mean about trying to keep a dog quiet when they hurt. Skye gets to frolicking to much and sore's herself up. When I won't let her out with the other 2 she just starts pacing. Sometimes have to give her half a Rimadyl which helps quite a bit.

Temp is 90 degrees and rising.

Off to surf a bit; have a great day all.

Good afternoon everybody! I've been working, took the dogs to the river, did a couple errands with hubby and then back to work. After dinner hubby and I will go for a bike ride and then once again back to work.

How is your day?

Well, the day has been busy. Was just getting ready to make a Brown Sugar Apple Cake when the phone rang. It was the garage...our truck was ready and they left us just enough time to get there before they closed if we raced out as soon as we hung up. So we did.

Got back. Started getting stuff out for the cake. Phone rang. It was a friend with a husband in the hospital and a dog emergency. She doesn't use a vet with emergency services, so she didn't know what to do. Sent Soot running out the door to pick her up and take her to the next town where there is an Emergency Vet. They are still there as far as I can tell. I would have gone but I hate to drive and I have No sense of direction and can't drive at night, so she and I going together would have been a bad thing. I'm waiting to hear how Brody is.

Then back up to make the cake when I discovered that my baking powder is expired. I haven't baked much for years so when I started checking, most of my stuff was questionable. Tossed it all and will bake tomorrow. Can't go to the store to get more as I can't leave the Keoki man.

But, on the plus side, my baking cupboard will get restocked with all nice fresh ingredients. I think God was telling me to make Orange Sorbet for dessert rather than Brown Sugar Apple Cake

Gee L4L, your 'ingredient' story reminded me of the massive clean out I did a few years back after I remembered that my spices and several other 'baking things' might need looking at. I had a full spice rack of everything you could imagine. Wellll, I guess spices don't last 30 years in good shape. I tossed them all, along with the baking powder and soda and cornstarch, molasses, salt/pepper, etc. Did you know that salt looses it saltiness after many years? Uhhuh. It does. So now I have only what I use frequently. Maybe 3 spices and the minimal sizes of the other stuff. I don't even have any flour in my house at the present time! Wow. And this from a gal who taught COOKING for years and years. True confessions.

STILL no yard kid. I've given up. He will appear when I least expect it. Let's hope I'm in a good mood that day.

Hello everyone.

I had a very good day. I did some laundry, mowed the lawn, washed my truck, did some more laundry, washed some dishes, and so on bla bla bla....

That was my day. How was yours?

Tomorrow I work from 7:00 to 4:00.

I guess I'm ready.

I've been getting some bad bites on my leg, and couldn't figure out why until I found an itty bitty tick on me today.

The other bad thing that happened today was while I was mowing, I got stung on the cheek by a red wasp.

I'm at war now with the wasp. I will commit mass genocide on them tomorrow.

They will know pain.

I'm so excited I hope I can sleep tonight.

Off now to get another diner started.

joe

Joe, the tiny ticks are deer ticks so please be careful because they are lyme disease carriers.
Use meat tenderizers on the wasp bite and it go away quick. It works on mosquito bites and any other kind too.

We have bad storms here so I will sign off a bit.

Good night Boomers.

Night guys, time to head off to bed. Sweet dreams

Night everybody sleep well and pleasant dreams. We are going down to 50F tonight so should be good sleeping weather!
