Bobbi and prayers you had fun. Sweet dreams with love to all

@PollyannaMom Glad everything worked out for your DS. Hope your kitty is doing well.

Lynn Good luck with your yard sale.

Good morning. It is 65 now with temps heading to 90 today. A hot one but will be hotter the next 2 days. I am thankful for the AC. I will try to walk at cooler times of day. Yesterday I walked at the lake knowing it would be too hot the rest of the week. Not much else going on.

Have a good day.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Hug Snowysmom. I would love to walk around the lake with you my friend. Prayers you are able to enjoy a cool and peaceful stroll.

Good HOT morning. Thank God for air conditioning. We got to 98 yesterday and it felt like 105. Going to be like this through Sunday with no rain for relief.

We spent 2 hours going through yard sale stuff in the nice cool basement. I had 3 window ac's we only used 1 season before having the new HVAC system put in. Summer listed them on facebook marketplace and they were all spoken for before she left here. We put the 2 smaller ones in her car and she met the people near her house to deliver them last night. The other one is going to Lily's best friend on Friday. I can't lift that one so I'm going to have Luke do it tomorrow while he's here. She also listed all of my collectible Barbie's, and batches of Disney beanie babies. Some of those are spoke for too.

She went home with a bunch of stuff along with my old carpet cleaner. I had one Budweiser beer mirror left from all of Don's collection. I was going to put it in the yard sale, but she started crying when she saw it saying it had been his favorite one and she remembered it always hanging in the living room of their old house, so I gave it to her.
Then we did the ashes, putting them in the biodegradable urns. I had 2 with beach scenes on them and 1 with mountain trees. Luke is taking one for the ocean, I gave the other to Summer to scatter where she wanted, and we're going to take the other one to the top of a local mountain Don and I always went to and scatter them there. Then I think I'll feel a lot more closure, knowing he's where he wanted to be.

I'm going to head for the market now while it's still only 80 degrees outside. Can't do it tomorrow since Ben and Luke will be here. They want to take me to lunch tomorrow.

Have a nice day, stay cool.

Kitty's results do not show any cancer, so that is good! We will be sent a prescription tomorrow for the anemia, to see if that helps.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Big hug dear Lynn.

Praise extra to God dear PollyannaMom that is wonderful news.

Bread and Pizzas were the foods! A different kind of pizza had the crust layered with thin apple slices, then feta cheese and pecans and drizzle with honey. It tasted good, not something I would make, but we had a good enough time.

On the way, we passed a turtle crossing a very busy street. We turned around to help, and by the time we got there, another car, with a “turtle crossing” sticker on it, was there and the turtle was saved. Made me wonder if volunteers monitor the road.

 

[Pea-n-Me]

It’s funny you should say that, Bobbi. DD’s boyfriend was telling us just yesterday he likes pizza with hot honey on it. I guess it’s the new thing! DD brought some home but I haven’t tried it yet. He bought some hot honey at a farmer’s market we went to. I guess we’ll be hearing more about it now!

I’ve pulled over for turtles in the road before, too! If I recall, some young boys had put one there once. I had some choice words for them. Stunts like that was why I was always afraid to have a boy. (But I did, and he’s a huge animal lover!)

Lynn, I loved your story. So glad you’re getting so much done and that FB Marketplace worked so well! Stay cool!

And PollyannaMom, so glad no cancer with your cat!

Our yard is looking good, a lot of activity but got just about everything done. My flowers all look nice. Even the rose buses sprouted this year. SIL is coming over tomorrow with her grandhildren to go in the pool. Made Mom’s potato salad tonight and just doing burgers and dogs on the grill.

Our basil came up and we made a nice caprese salad. I love all the fresh vegetables this time of year.





Enjoy the evening!

Good evening hug to all always with love. I am so humbly blessed by God that by His mercy alone I had a very positive PT session today. Huge step forward to recovery for which I am so grateful indeed. Thank you all forever for all your love and extra prayers. Sweet Dreams dear friends.

So glad to hear that, Mona!

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Bigand thank you Pea! God extra custom sent me my PT, V, too. Not only does she have extensive PT experience, but she has her doctorate and specializes in orthopedics! What an amazing extra grace that is!

 

[Snowysmom]

@flyingdumbo127 So glad to hear your PT session went well. It is nice that you found someone you are comfortable with.

Good morning. Another hot one out there today. Yesterday I walked outside once and then went to BJs where I walked around the entire place just looking and buying a few things I had coupons for. I got alot of steps in. I am trying to get back into reading so I found I couple of books that look interesting. Today the wonderful friend I have lunch with and used to work with is coming over to see the condo. She has a townhouse condo near where I work so she is about an hour away. Her complex is huge. She is happy there with some friends and she likes the 2 pools. I really don't want to pay extra condo fees for a pool as I would not use it.

Stay cool. Off to work. Have a good day.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

You are a wonderful friend dear Snowysmom who all of your friends, us included, are blessed to have! Thank you so much. Feeling comfortable with V makes a difference indeed. Wishing you and all of our Quacker family a happy Wednesday with love.

Good morning! I am so glad to hear about how positive your PT session was @flyingdumbo127!

Tom’s second cataract procedure was three weeks ago, and so, it’s time for his eye exam. His vision has changed so much for the better, we are so happy.

So, our bike ride and swim will both be at other times today. I hope we fit everything in when the weather is reasonable!

Have a good day everyone!

 

[flyingdumbo127]

dear Bobbi. Huge praise extra to God. Dad had cataract surgery years ago that has made a huge difference to him. Prayers Tom continues to have much healthier vision. Always, you know this, prayers for you, my friend.

 

[lynxstch]

Just a quick good morning. The boys will be here in a little while. It's another 95+ day, same with the next few. No rain at all around. Just finished watering again.

@flyingdumbo127 That's great news Mona! I'm glad your finally getting some help
@bobbiwoz So glad about Tom's eyesight being better!

Off to grab a quick shower, have a great day, stay cool!

 

[bobbiwoz]

Thank you @lynxstch !

Today is my orchid dunking day. Tom is with Gus outside now, and he will be watering the garden before he heads out for eye exam. The vegetable garden we have is shared with my sister, and it’s at her house. She’s been away at the 1000 Island area in north NY state.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Thank you dear Lynn

Bobbi, how is Gus doing?

Good sunny morning. Another scorcher on tap with no rain in sight until next Wednesday or so they say. It will be 95-98. I did yard work after dinner last night so at least it looks nice, if not a little brown. The grass needs some rainfall. The garden however loves this weather, as do my flowers.

Ben and Luke stayed at their mother's Tuesday night and until almost 11 yesterday morning. Summer came before they got here, and when the boys got here, they spared us a whole 20 minutes for a visit. Then they left and went to lunch with Mary, her grandson who's staying with her, and one of Luke's best friends. All I can say is that the family drama and war has resumed, and they've dragged me into it.

At the crux of a lot of it is that I found an old tea set with a lot of pieces in the basement the other day when Summer and I were going through boxes of stuff for the yard sale, and I came across an old tea set. It was very pretty, and I couldn't figure out why Don had it. Those boxes have never been opened that I know of. They were in the basement when we moved from the other house to this one 23 years ago. They are old, and from England, and worth $$$. Summer sent a picture to her mother, because she knows a lot about glassware and dishes. Mary says they belong to the family, (they were one of Don's great grandmothers) and that I can't sell them, unless I sell them to her (all she wants to do is resell them on Ebay for more money.) First of all, they are my property now, not hers. She left that when she divorced Don. Anyhow, she told Luke about them, and now he says I can't sell them either. Summer wants them for her kids and expects me to keep them here for her, one of my SIL's wants to buy them, and I never even said I wanted to get rid of them. The ensuing texts and phone calls went on all afternoon, until I told them to leave me alone.

I'm not giving them, or selling them to anyone in this family (including Mary). It would just cause more drama and dysfunction. They can all be mad at me instead of each other, I don't really care. I'm selling the tea set to a local tea shop. I know what they're worth from doing research. I'll decide what to do with the rest of the set when I get around to deciding. It was just a very aggravating afternoon, so much so , that for dinner I had ice cream, lol!

Off to get laundry done and wash the floors.
Have a nice day, stay cool
