Hope all are well today. 😊 On the subject of rushing the seasons, I saw fall issues of magazines on the store shelves and the department stores already have their summer clothing on the sale rack and displaying autumn/winter clothes. We just stopped wearing coats six weeks ago! |

I don' t know how this year's will be..running out of stuff to get my grandkids..and money is squeaky tight since I retired. I just finsished baking two huge zuchinni breads that hubby wanted for Scout week this week, he gets some marmalade to go with them...and packed in cholocate m and m candi cookies for the grandson, hostess chocolate filled cupcakes, individually wrapped also....and made the last of my bumper crop of blueberries in cobbler..have made four huge pans of it so far,,,sent two out to my daughter in-law and kept two here at the house. Plums come up next. .Fresh picked cucumbers sure do taste good also. Not to much to do but do "Baby watch" and glad its her going in this time and not myself. I think if she really wants an "LEO" she don' t have to long to wait now. I'm in resting mode myself..after the refrigerator went out, and the mole showed up, and all the cooking, and moving thngs around in this house...and little sleep...I'm in resting mode. My MS Kitty and I were having "quality" time earlier...as she sat on my lap so sweetly, while I watched an couple buy an cottage in Birminghamshire, England an House Hunter's International.There was snow on the ground..must of been from last season or two ago. But very content at finding an cottage with "charm" as she said she wanted. Out at my daughter in-laws, she had two girls about the age of her daughter..maybe younger.... doing an dance routine in the middle of their livingroom....didn't inquire what all that was about. I guess I should go and take in an warm bubbly bath and relax for the night...tomarrow will be wild until they get out and going to Scout camp. Have an god evening everyone! |

A friend has been telling me she saw or heard about what goes into the milk, i retched and threw two bottles of milk down the drain and now have to wait till I get some that is more filtered, yet when I grewup many moons ago we used to get our milk stright from the farm, I am wondering what is so different now or are we getting too much information |
