It's in the low 90's today and we are under a flood watch until 7 pm tomorrow night. Our 10 day forecast is in the 80's with rain chances all week. Maybe we'll get some rain. Out of the eight bushes we planted in the Spring, five are showing stress and have wilted/dead leaves on them. They are watered so we know that is not the issue. I'm sure that it has been the heat. One is probably dead so hopefully we'll only have it to replace.
DD dropped the kids off at McDonalds last night, the current drop off/pick up point. Her ex said not a word to her and she has received no scathing texts/emails from her, not even blaming her for Lil Joe's right croc strap being broken. He requires the kids to wear the same clothes that he dropped them off in the previous visit. Highly unusual for him not to text something. Feels very strange for him not to blame her for something. Will have to see how he acts tomorrow evening when he drops them off.
DH and I went to Soul Man's last night for fried catfish. It's a BBQ joint but they have catfish on Fridays. Was pretty good and close to the house. They also offer a number of different sides to choose from so that you are not just eating fried stuff.
I slept in till almost 9:00 am this morning. Felt so good. I feel like I slept really well for a change. Made breakfast and sat and talked to DD for awhile. DH had gone to get one the oil changed on one of the work trucks. DD left to run up to school to do a few things for next week. DH were able to sit and talk for a couple of hours just about stuff which was really nice. We don't get to just sit and talk very often.
We got our recommendations for Medicare prescription and supplemental insurance from the guy we are working with today. Need to make an appointment with him to go over them. We turn 65 in October.
It looks like I haven't done much but talk today, sometimes that's what you just need to do. But I did make breakfast, clean up the kitchen, a load of laundry and got stuff ready to take to Helping Hands next week and loaded up in my car.
We're meeting two of DH's brothers and their wives for dinner tonight about 6:30 at Abuelo's in Arlington about an hour away. The older I get the more I dislike driving later in the evening on the interstate and getting home later. We have no choice but to drive on the interstate and both (there are two of them to choose from) are heavily traveled. And once I get home I can never just go right to bed like DH can. I'm up at least an hour after I get home. Oh well, when it's our time choose a place, we're going to pick earlier in the day. And it will be good to see them.

And now a cold. Glad you’re resting today. You might need an MRI. Feel better. 
Interesting about the phone dings. Joe was fortunate to have your family overseeing his well-being. 
Lynn and PLEASE take care of yourself at last!
Kirby and the kiddos always. 
event so a lot of the streets will be blocked off. We started watching Big Sky River last night. Pretty scenery!
Thank you all again for the Hamiliton Beach recommendation, last year. We do like our Hamilton Beach microwave very much.

) that sells everything under the sun that you would need. They have aisles for different countries, a cheese section with cheese from various countries, a fresh fish section that is unreal, a huge bakery, a candy section with a wall of Jelly Belly jelly beans. It's very overwhelming for your first time and it was Ds2 & his girlfriend's first time here also. They had a lot of fun and they said they will be going back. They even got their dog a new toy, a stuffed squeaky popsicle. I ended up getting some gourmet dog treats, some blueberry bread, sushi, Utz chips, a block of baby Swiss cheese, and I bought us each a churro (that was so good).
So grateful you and your family are having such fun!
I used to love (when able to eat it) hot fresh kettle corn, so good! Enjoy that 
for me, too 
copy plays just fine! Dad and I are semi considering getting a DVD player of some kind eventually. Right now we can watch a DVD on our 
I have heard something called Roku is a way to watch something from the computer (such as a DVD or even You Tube) on the TV screen? I also have a feeling that would be way too expensive and techy for us! We do now have a Smart 
so a DVD player that can hook up to it would probably be much simpler. Dad is mainly hoping to get a good deal on a new 
on Black Friday. The one he currently has he got years ago on Black Friday. it's no longer supported, and he can't watch TV on it which is his main use for it. Minor, of course!
Easyas!
today. One big box with our new toaster and a second small box with two packages of medium unscented trash bags (exciting huh)? 
that was at the end of the hallway which was in real life where the office of a kind ECE advisor was. But not like the real main church layout at all! Then I just remember, my friend mopping the section of the floor again that grandma had driven over while I apologized and suddenly got to reunite with a former church pastor friend who has since retired (she retired last year, I believe) that I was close to and have not seen, of course, since before Covid! That was lovely. I don't remember either of us saying anything just that I clearly saw her.
across from the half door (Dutch door) of the church office so I could possibly safely from a distance, I guess, say hi to my friend Glenda who works at the front desk in the office. I never saw Glenda in the dream. In real life there was sometimes a small table and chair facing the church office. That was the end of that!
We're here and so care
