Good morning. 51 now heading for 73. Definitely feels like Fall this morning. I saw the 2 boys next door out front with Mom having their first day of school pictures taken. I saw a school bus go by already. I'll be taking the highway to do errands instead of the back way. I'd end up having to stop too many times for busses.

I'm slowly losing patience with Summer. I haven't heard from her at all since last Thursday. She has until tomorrow to show up and pay me back or all you know what is going to let loose.

Have a good day everyone.

I'm sorry dear Lynn, hugs.

Missed every school bus, hit every green light, and there were no kids in the stores. Such a pleasure to shop like that. Stopped for an oil change and free car wash on the way home, and just finished putting everything away. It's so beautiful outside, I hope it lasts longer than a week.

Good morning. It is49 here now with temps heading to the low 70s. This weather is really nice. I went to Market Basket yesterday and it was a zoo! I pretty know that the Hannaford shoppers are now at Market Basket. And with the college kids going back to school they had a few less lines open. Thankfully next week with cutting back my hours I can get to the store earlier in the afternoon, around 12:45, when hopefully it won't be as busy. If I ever retire I will be one of those at the store around 8 am.

Have a great day.

Hug dear Snowysmom. Shopping early can definitely make for a much more pleasant experience! Plus, at open is when stores such as JC Penney at times give out coupons. I continue to be so thankful that you are able to ease into retirement in the best way for you

Dad doctor appointment prayers appreciated this morning. He sees one of his specialists.

I get to work with my dear friend and therapist today along with my other old regular therapist later in the morning. I will also be submitting my official written request to a case manager manager here that he advocate on my behalf for additional OT sessions. My insurance company is 100% on my side. I have been blessed to speak with 3 kind representatives from the company especially one named George. Update to God willing come.

My roommate most early mornings (she just did) for a moment loudly exclaimed something (I don't speak the language) in Korean. It can startle me if I am asleep for sure but it is expected. She is overall quiet and truly a lovely lady. Best roommate ever here. I know her pastor and other friend's are looking into options for her to move somewhere nicer. I am grateful for however long she is here. Peace of mind to have a much more stable roommate situation!

Thursday hugs to all

Good chilly morning. Went a little lower than @Snowysmom down to 46. I had to put a sweater on to go outside and feed the cats and birds. Miss Tiger spent the entire day and night on that chair, lol. On the arm of the chair until after supper, then she finally laid down on the seat and curled up. Cats are weird sometimes.

Today is the day Summer is supposed to come and pay me, I'm waiting to see if I hear from her on her own or if I have to say something. It's not the money anymore, it's the principle of giving me her word and going back on it.

Not sure what I want to get into today. Nothing outside needs to be done except water later on. No forecast for rain in the next 7 days at least. I got some beautiful mums at the store over the PA line. They are almost 18" across and I paid $35 for 5 of them. One is on the table on the front porch, 2 are at the top of the steps and 2 are on the back deck. They'll be the only flowers out there once the summer flowers die off. With it getting this chilly at night, I don't know how much longer they're going to last. My tomato's are still doing well, but my herbs are going to flower and will need to be cut soon.

Have a good day all

Lynn, I bet Summer doesn’t have the money to pay you back so she’s avoiding you. Not the mature way to handle it but she’s not known for making the best decisions all the time. Praying you can somehow salvage your relationship. I have hope for you two. She’s probably fretting over it. (I would be!)

Snowysmom I’m familiar with all of those supermarkets, and Roche Bros, Stop n Shop, Star Market, etc. I don’t have a favorite for one stop shopping, they all have their pros and cons as far as I’m concerned. I also like Aldi and Walmart for some things, so I’m all over the place. I had to go into Whole Foods the other night and I got some really delicious turkey breast for sandwiches, all natural. I wish I could get it regularly but unfortunately it’s too pricey to shop there weekly. (Idk how people do it. ) I hope you like Shaw’s. This year I’ve received two really beautiful bouquets of flowers which lasted a long time and each came with a box of chocolates, such a nice touch. Beautifully packaged and delivered, too. And shocked to see they came from Shaw’s! So, good to know! The florist I used to use closed so I’ll be using Shaw’s from now on if I send flowers.

Mona, glad you are back on track and hope you can get what you think will help you get back to your baseline again so you can go home to be with your Dad! Hope he is doing ok after that bad experience the other day.

Hope everyone else is well.

We had a pipe burst in our yard yesterday coming from the street. What a headache! On the phone all day trying to get help for it. Was exhausted and not in a good place last night. Thankfully had it fixed this morning, we had a backhoe in the yard for several hours. Didn’t love the bill but what can you do.

Enjoy your Thursdays, everyone!

Prayers dear Lynn all-around and always to you as well, dear Pea.

Ssshhh, don't tell anyone but the Seattle area has been experiencing an extended warm/hot streak for sometime now. Only one day of rain in the last several weeks. Hi-Temps have been reaching the mid 70's to the low 90's. It has been a great summer.

 

[Snowysmom]

Lynn I hope you and Summer can work this out. I agree with Pea that Summer is probably avoiding you and anxious about the money that she may not have.

Bobbiwoz Hope you are feeling better and enjoying your trip.

Mona Glad you are settling things that work for you and can help get you a good recovery and back home sooner.

Pea-n-me Shaws does have a nice florist shop. Whole Foods is ridiculously expensive. Jeff goes there sometimes for particular items but not a weekly shopping trip. Sorry about the burst pipe. That is a hassle. Glad it is fixed now. Hopefully you a getting in some relaxation time and getting ready for your Disney trip.

Good morning. It is 57 now with temps heading to the low 70s. We are supposed to get some rain this afternoon. I have Kenny's kids for a sleepover tonight. I don't think I will be getting much sleep and I will have one ear and one eye open all night! The sleep sofa is in my office with my work laptop and I have to let them know they cannot touch my stuff. All the connections are there are good and I want to keep it that way. They are old enough to listen. We will make individual pizzas, I have some frozen treats, I got a couple of toys and books for them. They will have their laptops too. Tomorrow morning we will meet Kenny for breakfast at local place. Then tomorrow I will be off to Jeff's to see everyone. Hoping everyone has already traveled to where they need to be for the weekend so traffic will be good. It has been 3 weeks with only a videochat.

Have a nice day.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Wow so good to see you, Space Man! Missed you and prayers you and your family are well. Keep cool for sure!

Dear Lynn, I also agree with our fellow Quacker family members on Summer. I truly pray the two of you go forward closer and with a truly healthy relationship.

Dear Snowysmom, that sounds like a fun sleepover. You are such a loving and lovely grandma.

Good morning hug to all. Thank you all always for your prayers and support!

Good morning. Going to be cloudy and 74 today. We had some rain a little after midnight last night. Enough to water everything, but not enough to do much good. It was unexpected at any rate, so I'm grateful for what we did get.

I got tired of waiting for Summer to contact me so I called her just before dinnertime. She said she has the money, just hasn't had the time to get here to bring it. Not buying that excuse. She delivers for Walmart and has deliveries out this way almost every day. She is also in town for something every day. I'm only 2 miles past the city limits, so it's not like it's out of her way. I told her if she's not here tomorrow morning with it, to not ask me for help again. Someone else can help her. I'm being used, and that's not something I have ever put up with, and I'm not about to start now.

As to the comments about stores and shopping, we don't have a lot of choices here. We only have Walmart Supercenter, Martins (Giant), Aldi's and Save A Lot. I don't care for the Save a Lot at all, so I don't shop there. I favor Aldi's for produce and their unique items. I like Martins for some of their sales, and Walmart carries everything else that the other 2 don't carry.

I'm about to make a quick run to Martins right now for a couple of sale items. Then I'm in for the holiday weekend, working on vacation plans. I can't wait for the end of Sept.

Have a good day everyone
