Good morning. It is 68 here now and it is going to be hot today and this week, 93 today and 96 tomorrow. Too hot for me. Yesterday I just caught up with post vacation stuff. Not much else going on.

Have a good day.

Good morning, all! I went to a backyard wedding yesterday, and it was so beautiful!! - Hot out, for sure, but we adore the couple and were so happy to be part of their celebration. They wrote their own vows, and another friend officiated. He did a great job!

Congratulations to your friends, dear PollyannaMom and beautiful pictures dear Snowysmom. Good early Monday to all. M, my roommate, was changed about 40 minutes ago. Usually, she is changed later. I'm up because M didn't seem to want R, our overnight CNA, to change her so it took a good ten minutes. I am going to try to get a little more sleep as it is too early to be up. Love to all. I will check in again later.

Good hot morning. Excessive heat warning today and tomorrow. No kidding, it was 83 already, or still, when I woke up at 6:30. For some reason I wake up at almost exactly the same time every day lately. I go back to sleep for an hour, but it's annoying. We could hit 101 today and 104 tomorrow. This is crazy weather.
I had to go across the street to the mailbox to get a pkg yesterday at 2, and it was so quiet outside. No one was out, no mowers, no kids playing in pools, barely even any traffic. The only other times I went out was to give all of the cats fresh cold water.

Summer finally got the fridge from the lady yesterday, but left it in the driveway to clean. She was waiting for after dinner when it cooled down to clean it and bring it in. Now she's giving me conflicting info. A few weeks ago, she showed up here with the Lincoln, when I asked why, she said it was because it was better on gas, and the Suburban needs back brakes. Yesterday she told me she was taking the Suburban to OC. I asked why, she said because the Lincoln needed brakes. She says 4 teenagers and herself won't fit in the Lincoln anyhow. I'm confused. They're both big SUV's and there's just as much room in it as the other. She also told me the AC in the Suburban isn't working right, it doesn't push cold air unless the vehicle is moving. That's the one I paid almost $200 to have the ac fixed in last year. I'm so glad I turned down the invitation to go. She wasn't going to tell me that another couple was going along with Gracie and her boyfriend. I would not have appreciated a 4 1/2 hour ride in this heat, with little to no ac and a car full of teens. I just don't understand her reasoning at times.

Have a good day everyone, stay cool

Yikes for the OC trip and 'love' for Goofy in the pic above so cute!

Well, it's already 91 here with 97 projected. I spent from 6:30am to 9:45am in my back yard working on clearing brush that's creeping across and pulling down my back fence. Most of the time I sat in my chair drinking my water. I put up an umbrella over the chair but I still got a farmer's tan. Pushed the lawn mower along the fence line to try to get the stragglers without touching them as I really fear poison anything - oak, ivy, sumac. And I know the oils will fly in the air also, but my other neighbor who would be helping is gone til after the 3rd week of July.

Took a shower when I came in and feel great for this moment. But there is other work calling me so no peace. Dog's bed needs changing and he always tries eating grass. That means he threw it up. I fortunately had puppy pads so it was a small amount and contained. It's still there because I needed to be outside in the cooler morning.

Dishwasher needs emptying. Sheets need washing. Dog bed needs laundering, but I have several so I may set it aside for today. Oh and I need to swiffer the floors. Somebody needs to clean the baths and I will skim it but I think this job needs to go to a professional as I age. Floor, toilet and sink easy enough but the tub and shower are too much bending and wiping for my knees and my right arm and hand.

Anyway, the tax people want their quarterly share by the end of June so I also need to send that payment. I need to up my with holdings as it's just an extra pain.

Work work work .......................

Extra care and hug to both of you dear Lynn and dear Judique.

I did get a little more sleep earlier which was a blessing for sure. I'm thankful for a new week. Dad sounded better earlier. I think he is still deciding whether to call the doctor. I hope he does.

Grace of God, I continue to grow stronger daily and develop more endurance. I am moat blessed indeed.

Have a great day dear Quacker family. Pea, Dazed, and Taz, extra love and prayer to each of you.

It is HOT!!! We are at 95 with a real feel of 106 according to the weather app. Not sure what they are calling for but I know triple digits may be tomorrow and Wednesday. Thankfully right now it looks to be mid 80's on Saturday for the BBQ. Thankfully my AC works very well, and I have a huge umbrella for the deck.

I am really not happy with my grandsons at the moment. We had the dumpster over the weekend, and NO ONE came yesterday to help. Jay picked the weekend for this to happen. The basement was supposed to be done by Memorial Day, and we are still working on a few things. I asked Mikey to help and even said I would pay him. He agreed and then called back 30 minutes later to say he decided it was too hot. Thankfully my husband called his best friend, and we offered him dinner if he could help out. I would have called him anyway as we invite him up quite often since his wife died a few years ago. We managed to get my sons room 95% cleaned out, and I can do the rest a little each week. The only downside is we had to throw out the dresser we hoped to keep. It was my husband's and a nice piece of furniture, but one of the dogs used it as a chew toy and of course no one ever bothered to mention that. It also had a broken drawer. I will be looking for new furniture now,

The plan is to finish the 2 spare rooms in the fall along with new flooring in my bedroom. I want the front done first as a neighbor keeps going across our driveway and up our steps for some reason. Usually, she has had a bit too much to drink and she's the type that would claim a serious injury and sue.

My mom is going to help me paint the woodwork if it isn't done by Wednesday. It's not much but the doors need to be done as they are all just primed. Once we are all done, I'll post pictures. The best part of cleaning out my son's old room is what I found. I knew I was missing a photo album. I found it in one of the bins. It is all the pictures of my oldest daughter's 1st year, including her baptism and pictures with her cousin. I forgot she was my thumb sucker.

Not much else going on around here. I cleaned out the fridge and cabinets for the trash pickup tomorrow, Cleaning the house shouldn't take long but I do want to give it a good going over. I'm going to get my granddaughter and daughter to help me get the basement together. Up and down 2 flights of stairs is killing my knees and back.

Hope you all stay cool
