Good morning.

@Pea-n-Me Your post made me smile, especially about Grady and the wiffle ball.

Going to be sunny and 80. It got to 66 yesterday and it was so windy that it dried out the soaking wet grass and I was able to mow and weedwack the whole yard. Today I'm going to till the garden so I can plant the next nice day.

I had a nice surprise yesterday when I answered the door, and found Lily and her friend Camden there. They came to say Happy Mothers Day and brought me a long stem red rose.

I watched Idol last night and was very happy with the final 3. All 3 of them were some of my favorites from the first audition and I think it was well past time for the 2 who went home. It was Disney night, so I enjoyed the show.

Off to get dressed so I can get to work on the garden before it gets too warm outside

Have a lovely Monday everyone.

That’s so nice that they came by yesterday, Lynn!

And funny, with darn autocorrect, I just noticed that twice I said waffle ball. Lol. Glad you knew what I meant. DS just came by before his flight and was telling Grady he was so sorry he hit him by accident. Still acting a little off. I think it’s because he was so attached to DS, but now DS comes by with not only new people (and young people at that, which I don’t even know if he ever had exposure to), but a new dog! Overall G is doing good, though, and was happy to see him. They cuddled for a while. G (which we tend to call him now) has been doing a lot of things w DH out in the yard, has Toto and the new dog next door to play with, and I take him out all the time, so he’s fine. I think he just misses DS a bit. We got him because his owner died, so he’s had a lot of change and losses, poor thing. (He still has a great life now, though!)





Woo-ing for a siren

I love seeing pictures of Grady!!!

Jacob's German Shepard's name is Gigi (not a good name for a dog that size) so I always call her G. I've noticed Jacob calls her that too now.

Thank you dear Footballmouse so much. Grandpa had a black poodle named Gigi. She was a very quiet dog. I was heartbroken when she died at 18. I was 6. Champ came into our lives 8 years later forever imprinting our hearts with his love.

Lynn, hug, I'm so glad Summer positively surprised dear you, yay!

Pea, hugs and beautiful post. It is so good to hear from you. Thank you for all the love you give your kids, human and canine, and all ofvus too. God Bless dear Toto and Grady. Prayers extra to your oatuent. PM me if you think she might like to email me as someone who recently had a boot. I left it on at night, not fun at all. I did so because initially especially there was no way it was going on and off especially over night. What an amazing blessing to finally be rid of it. Be sure your patient gets her own boot off asap. What you also said about circulation is so true. Same with swelling. I am blessed to not have diabetes or heart issues. Long time feet issue and not much movement has caused some swelling and heavier feeling, circulation kinks I need to work out. Limited movenent does both very fast. I learned from Caroline, the PT who did my evaluation, that it only takes 3 days of sudden very limited activity for your feet and legs to begin to weaken. For me they had been doing so for over 3 years! Extra testimony to God's healing love to be where I am today. Please take care of yourselves friends!

That’s so funny! I guess it’s the easy way to do it when you’re saying the name so many times! How are your pets doing? One of them was sick, was it the cat? Did you have a work change?

Thanks for the offer, Mona! She just had it on for the weekend and then was getting re-casted yesterday. I tell that to my patients, too, that even ONE day of not moving can cause weakness, that’s why we try to get people out of bed and keep them moving. In the old days people stayed in bed for days, or weeks, even, but we came to learn there are hazards associated with immobility - blood clots, pressure injuries, pneumonias, etc. It’s always best to try to keep moving!

Busy day today, just a quick hello. Hope everyone has a nice Tuesday!

 

[footballmouse]

Happy Tuesday!

Busy day at work yesterday. After I left work I headed to Napa to take the old part from my car back since I bought the new part there, refunded me $100 for returning the old one . Then I ran over to Lowe's and grabbed more topsoil for the rest of my flowers. Next stop was Dollar Tree for some flower pots . Got home a lot later than usual and the animals were not happy! Got everyone fed and then planted the rest of the flowers. Happy it rained during the night so they got a good watering.

How are your pets doing? One of them was sick, was it the cat? Did you have a work change?

All my animals are good. Remy was having some issues but we got that straigtened out with some medicine. No job change for me yet, still working on it. My weekend job switched my weekends around but I think it will still work out. I thought I was losing a shift but at the end of the month, it evens out.

Didn't watch any TV last night until the Reds game was on . They're on the west coast so the games on TV are late, I can only stay awake until around the 3rd inning.

Tonight I get my haircut and then stop at Meijer to grab dog & cat food. They have the best options for dog food and the only place I've found that consistantly carries Fresh Pet cat food.

Off to grab some breakfast, have a great day!

Glad to hear it dear PeaThank you always and Footballmouse, toofor all the care you bring to so many including all of us.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Supposed to be hot later today, so the cats insisted on early walks, and my schedule was already a little off because of a change in DH's. So right now, I'm sitting outside with one of the cats, playing on my phone and realizing all the things I should have done before I came outside.

Oh well, the birds are singing, so that's nice!

 

[lynxstch]

Good morning. Yesterday was so nice outside, today we're back to rain. Same for tomorrow, and then again on Saturday. Long range forecast for Lily's graduation shows rain so I hope it changes before then.
I got the garden tilled 2x, then raked and then flattened and raked the area we shortened the garden by and planted grass seed. I planted 2 big pots of rosemary and put some Dianthus around it. It rained lightly overnight, so everything got a gentle watering.

Have a nice day

68 here going to 69. It's voting day here and DD is working from home. Have to remind her to do her duty.

Meanwhile my painter is busy doing his thing and my house is definitely starting to freshen up.

Then I messed up by tripping on the floor protection and going headfirst onto all fours. My left knee is a bit purple and swelling. My left hand took the second worst. Now I'm feeling all stiff but I'm still moving. Went to Sherwin Williams for more supplies.

 

[Judique]

Ordered Chipotle lunch for all of us and decided to dust of my 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea snowglobe and put new batteries in it.

Then I checked it out on Ebay. They are going from $150 to $250. Maybe I should consider it a part of downsizing my stuff.

It was on a shelf in the corner collecting lots of dust. Not being showcased, and I guess I don't really care to keep it.

It's voting day here

I went this morning on my way into the office. 7:50 AM and I was the only one voting, although one person came in while I was finishing up. Hopefully I just caught the lull from folks going on the way to work and those going later on today. I'm watching the Balt City race with some interest even though I'm on the Shore...it's a shame there is such apathy amongst the voting block there (and in general). And the Senate race, can't wait to see who wins the primary there.
I hope you recover quickly from your fall.
That reminds me, I was thinking of you late last week as I went by Ma & Pa's - they are open for the season. Isn't that the place you like to stop at?

Looks like we are up for some T-storms later today around 5 or 6PM then rain for most of the evening I think. I took some pork chops out for dinner this evening, we will have them with some of the pico I made on Sunday.

 

[Snowysmom]

Mona Happy belated birthday.

Pea-n-me. Good to see you. Love the Grady pics.

Just checking in from Boardwalk. We have a Boardwalk view. I am taking it much slower than I would do if I was with Chris or by myself. My friend does not do alot of walking so needs to stop alot and we are back to the room by mid-afternoon. We did go to Epcot last evening and got soaking wet when a sudden rain came through. Today we were at MK when the skies got so dark. It poured worse than yesterday but we were in Plaza restaurant having lunch. It stopped just as we finished. She wanted to go back to the room so here I am. I want her to be comfortable and have fun. We may go for frozen Margaritas and pizza for supper. Epcot tomorrow then back to the condo Thursday

My DGS Luke is 7 today.

Have a great day

I called my 4 voters (children and DIL) and reminded them to do their duty. My belief is that participation is the key to future success.

I'm interested in the Senate outcome as well. It's going to be quite interesting come November.

I'm also watching Harry Dunn. He went to high school with my older kids.

edit: Ma and Pa's - my Ophthalmologist rec'd it to me for some tomatoes he loves, so I went by there but never figured out his tomatoes.

Good morning. Going to be a cloudy day, but no rain. Temp is 62 heading to 70
