Something About Nothing............ #14

[Lynne G]

Yay! Schumi is enjoying her Friday morning.

Yes, our summers tend to be what they call sweltering, sticky icky, hot and humid. So bad, in colonial times, many fled the City and homed near the river North of it. George Washington’s summer home is about an hour drive North of me. And like Florida, most forecasts include an afternoon or evening rain or thunderstorms chance.

Then there’s today. While I am inland enough from the shore, we get the effects of Coastal storms, anyway. Hence, Tropical Storm Fay will make landfall this afternoon at the shore., and we get 2 or more inches of rain, thunderstorms and bands of heavy rain all through today. The shore forecast: 60 mph winds, and severe thunderstorms and tornado chances. They have put a Storm Watch for the shore areas, Flash Flooding watch for most of the areas to the West of the shore, including my county. Ms. Fay will give me rain until 8 to 10pm tonight. Rain loser for sure. McK, you may not get much rain at all, or not as much as me.

Why, I was going to visit my sister today, but with the forecast, no pool time. Will go tomorrow though. The hot and sticky icky weather returns for the weekend. Pool time weekend, Woot!

Ah yes,



And for those homies that need to reminded that it’s Friday, as not working like a dog, but you know, retired from a work. This Friday reminder is for you,



Haha. I wish some days. But as time flies, I too will not care what day it is.

Ah, I think I am joining Schumi, and enjoying a cup of tea this morning.

Happy Friday, homies. So glad to be ready to enjoy the start of the weekend later today.

Good Morning. ️

 

[mckennarose]

McK, you may not get much rain at all, or not as much as me.

The forecast changed to rain this afternoon starting at 1. It's beautiful and sunny right now, with some clouds. I may brave the grocery store soon, rather than wait for rain.

Yes, our summers tend to be what they call sweltering, sticky icky, hot and humid. So bad, in colonial times, many fled the City and homed near the river North of it

Ugh! Schumi I can vouch for the city being unbearable in the summer! Some of our family live right in Philly and it's an oven.
We have a lot of trees and mountains (shade) up here and tend to be a few degrees cooler than just an hour or two south. But we do get very hot summers and sometimes our temps will be the same or near the same as Florida in the summer but not as muggy. Our temps forcasted for next week are mid to high 80's and Florida's are forecasted as high 80's to low 90's There are some big differences in that we don't have sustained hot temps overnight, so the ground never stays that Florida-hot, if you know what I mean. And when it rains here in the summer it usually not the very warm shower-like temps like the warm showers in Florida. It's colder rain and will cool everything off a lot.

Morning Sans family

But, what a lovely way to spend a day......it was only around 2 hours away, but nice, bit of a day out nursing lab and spaniel puppies.

Schumi glad to hear you had a nice time getting away to visit with your friend and help her find a new puppy.

Taking Louie (Cavalier) with us so hoping we can get a nice walk in too. Have a good day all.

What a cute dog.

A dear friend passed away recently - he was awaiting a liver transplant having suffered a degenerative disease and everything approved for March but the virus halted transplants and tragically he deteriorated in June and was taken down to Birmingham transplant unit but was too unwell for surgery.

Good to see you posting again. So sorry to hear of the deaths in your family and of the death of your dear friend....sending lots of prayers and good thoughts your way

We don`t really want a dog, we like to just get up and go too often and leaving for longer periods of time isn`t fair on a dog, and generally......not keen on the idea anyway.....however cute they look.

We have grand-dogs......we like dogs, but like you we traveled a lot and did not see the fairness to the pet of Leaving them for long periods of time. Might change are mind as we get older not sure.

Why, I was going to visit my sister today, but with the forecast, no pool time. Will go tomorrow though. The hot and sticky icky weather returns for the weekend. Pool time weekend, Woot!

Lynne enjoy your pool time at your sisters tomorrow.

Tink so nice to see you enjoying your time on vacation. Days on the beach do have a way of calming the soul for sure.

Mac......I always have lists of things to do and only get half of them done at times.....just keep plugging away till completed. Hey! We are retired we can take our time

Keisha cute pic of you and the granddaughter. She looks like you. I say face shield masks and whatever is necessary to protect yourself....I don’t give a hoot what other people have to say about it.

When all this Covid started my niece was in Sam’s with masks and gloves and a couple had the nerve to be mouthing off behind her in line about how ridiculous she looked. My niece turned around and looked at them both and called them morons......and told them she had a baby at home to protect and she would wear what ever she needed to to protect her baby. She told them they were idiots to be commenting on other people’s need to protect themselves.......they did not say anything else........LOL.

Monykalyn nice pics of your 4th of July pics on your vacation.

Schumi glad to hear you we able to get your salon appointment. Your hair looks nice.

Lynne if I remember correctly you had a salon appointment too?

You all have been busy since I last posted. I did go back a look a few pages.

My sister K and I went up to check on our dad. He has lost 20 pounds since Stepmom died....I have a half sister that lives near him. So she tries to see him as much as she can, but she works a lot.

We all went with him to settle a date and all the arrangements for Stepmoms memorial service.

Sister K and I took him out for nice lunch to celebrate late father’s day and then took him shopping for tennis shoes. He said he wanted to start walking again to strengthen up. He used to walk in the Mall that is near him, but that Mall is still closed. So we wanted to make sure he had a good pair of tennis shoes to walk in.

We took him grocery shopping to look for food that would be easy for him to prepare.

Talked to him about him coming to stay with me for a couple of weeks. My sister that lives down south Is going to try and make it up here if he decides to come here.

Will give him a chance to get away for awhile and spend some time with his daughters. I can fatten him up a little.

I’am back to making masks. I have lots of material to go though so I need to get with it.

Supposed to be 90 here today and sun is shinning.

To all the Sans family have a lovely Friday and a great weekend.

 

[Lynne G]

Good Morning Robo and McK. Yeah, I have what they are calling rain showers right now. Like you, McK, may get kids to run out and get what they want sooner than later. Robo, nice your family is taking care of each other. Hard for your dad to mourn the loss of his wife, I am sure. Say hi to your sister K. Miss saying hi to both of you in person. Was so nice of you both to meet and enjoy HHN with me.

Here is hoping all are having a good morning: Mac having fun with her cats, Schumi now having enjoyed her tea, Robo drinking coffee in the sunshine, Tink, having her coffee on the beach, and McK doing a grocery run. Me, tea and work.

Ack, nothing good for breakfast, so made eggs. Fast and easy, just with cheese, and oddly, with chicken. There was a strip of chicken left over from the other night. Chopped, and added. Okay with me, as an not a sausage fan at all. I give my share to older one if I find it on my plate or on a pizza.

Why hello tea. Happy.

 

[keishashadow]

Today, GD will be sent back home early so I can get all my pre-op test checked off. Later, the 2nd softball game, thankfully set in a valley that will be shaded from the sun by game time .

Looking like a McD sort of day for dinner despite 4 zucchini and a huge bowl of green beans from garden that magically was on my kitchen counter when i woke up today . They will hold a few days.

Happy Friday all. We are off to Southport (which is on the coast) for the funeral. So far looking dry though cool. Taking Louie (Cavalier) with us so hoping we can get a nice walk in too. Have a good day all.
View attachment 508149

Well, hello Louie! What a handsome man . Breed not common here, don’t think I’ve ever met one. He looks so sweet and mellow.

I was fascinated by the late queen mother’s corgis, another uncommon breed here. Then, i read a few accounts that her’s were prone to nipping other dogs & people eek, crossed that breed off my list.

Oh they were so cute Janet......I could have cuddled some of them all day!!! Cute.....but a bit like other people`s babies......happy to hand back!!!!

Haha i haven’t picked out my little monster’s hair for a week. It’s starting to go into what looks like natural dreadlocks. May take a few sessions to right that mess. Humidity didn’t help i’m Thinking as we’ve be away on vacations and not had that happen so quickly.

Then there’s today. While I am inland enough from the shore, we get the effects of Coastal storms, anyway. Hence, Tropical Storm Fay will make landfall this afternoon at the shore., and we get 2 or more inches of rain, thunderstorms and bands of heavy rain all through today

You are truly getting it both coming & going lol. Enjoy squeezing in some pool time.

I’ve always said we get ‘it’ bad but the eastern half of the state gets more tropical storm activity coming up the coast. We’ve learned to duck & cover when we see precipitation forecast coming to us that way vs normal westerly patterns.

That said this week we have more 90 degree days in this current heat wave than we’ve had in the 3 years.

Keisha cute pic of you and the granddaughter. She looks like you. I say face shield masks and whatever is necessary to protect yourself....I don’t give a hoot what other people have to say about it.

Thank you for those words of encouragement .

Somebody is going to ‘correct’ the wrongfor not wearing a mask & violence will ensue

When all this Covid started my niece was in Sam’s with masks and gloves and a couple had the nerve to be mouthing off behind her in line about how ridiculous she looked. My niece turned around and looked at them both and called them morons......and told them she had a baby at home to protect and she would wear what ever she needed to to protect her baby. She told them they were idiots to be commenting on other people’s need to protect themselves.......they did not say anything else........LOL.

Lol good for her. Never wise to mess with a woman dealing with the wild post pregnancy hormonal swings.

 

[mckennarose]

Yeah, I have what they are calling rain showers right now. Like you, McK, may get kids to run out and get what they want sooner than later.

Made it home right as it started to sprinkle a bit. It stopped again, but it's overcast and grey. But still HUMID!

4 zucchini and a huge bowl of green beans from garden that magically was on my kitchen counter when i woke up today

Oh how nice! What do you like to make with the zucchini? I only planted 6 this year since we had sooo much last year.

I've been getting green beans but the zucchini isn't quite large enough to pick yet. My peppers all seem delayed too. I have bell, poblano, hot cherry and jalapeno that are all still tiny babies. We have been getting tons of lettuce though, which is good because we eat a lot of salads in general. I think the cucumbers will be ready to start picking either today or tomorrow. My herbs have exploded! I have tons of cilantro, parsley, dill, thyme, rosemary, basil and two kinds of mint. The basil was eaten right after I got it so I had to pot it (stupid bunnies!) and I didn't think it would come back, but it did. My dogs are chasing the rabbits out of the yard but since they're both small, I'm a little afraid of the rabbits hurting them if they actually catch one! My chihuahua is definitely a lot smaller than a regular sized rabbit.

Well one DD called to let me know one of her coworkers is on quarantine since she was exposed to the virus. She was working in another facility so she wasn't around my daughter. A client tested positive and thankfully the client called my daughter's coworker to let her know. I think that's a positive of her to do it and I bet a lot of people don't think to let others know if they have the virus or not.

 

[macraven]

Each year I say I am going to do a veggie garden and never do.......

I got my drivers license today!

It took a few minutes and did not have to do any testing.

Was told I was given incorrect info by email and all tests were waived for those with no points on their driving record.

Easy peasy.
And I’m good for another 8 years.

Told Mr Mac when he came home I did not get lost finding the place.
Lol

He realized his license expires in 9 days so he made an appointment to get his renewed.
So he is leaving in a few minutes for his appointment.

 

[Lynne G]

Oh my, little one went out and got soaked. We lost power for a few minutes. But thankfully, all went back on, though had to reset some. Grr. Rain sounded heavy a few times, so far. And little one tried to use her phone to pay, and WiFi in store was down. Good thing she had the card to insert. Phone lines were not down.

Yum, fresh vegetables, yeah, and rabbits do a job on all. We have Greek Oregano, some tomatoes and hot peppers. That’s all.

Wow, rain really loud.

Keisha, you should have had my female lab, she routinely caught the dumb bunnies that got into our backyard. Eww, all I found was tuffs of fur in the grass, then I knew. Her nickname was Shark. Did not hurt any dogs or cats, thankfully. Did get birds, insects, rabbits, voles and moles, a squirrel and a skunk. Sigh, her brother, was such a gentle soul, he scooped out a baby bird from his baby pool, and handed it to me from his mouth, unhurt. His nickname was Big Boy, as a lap lab he was. No matter he was 85 or so pounds.

Yay, Chinese lunch, so much food, but perfect for a rainy day.

YAY! Mac got her license, no strings attached. Ours are not valid for as long. PA likes to bill ya.

Hehe, older one went out, said road looked flooded, and like a high powered shower. Yeah, I hear it whipping around the house. And he he, saw my neighbor chickens got rushed into their coop. Rain soaked chickens, no fun.

 

[mckennarose]

I got my drivers license today!

It took a few minutes and did not have to do any testing.

Yay!! Good news!

Wow, rain really loud.

It's picking up here now too. No high winds, just pouring.

The storm we had on the fourth of July evening destroyed one of my patio umbrellas. There was no saving it, so now I have to buy another one.

 

[keishashadow]

Oh how nice! What do you like to make with the zucchini? I only planted 6 this year since we had sooo much last year.

Breaded & fried Oreos baked slices, stuffed meat or sausage italian style, Or with stewed tomatoes. Not a fan of fritters, bread, etc

My peppers all seem delayed too. I have bell, poblano, hot cherry and jalapeno that are all still tiny babies.

Peppers Slow here just buds tomatoes maybe an inch big lol

Well one DD called to let me know one of her coworkers is on quarantine since she was exposed to the virus.

Ugh

got my drivers license today!

Yea no test for you

Keisha, you should have had my female lab, she routinely caught the dumb bunnies that got into our backyard. Eww, all I found was tuffs of fur in the grass, then I knew. Her nickname was Shark. Did not hurt any dogs or cats, thankfully. Did get birds, insects, rabbits, voles and moles, a squirrel and a skunk.

Yuck

My guy chases,catches, then holds them gently in mouth. He sorta freaks since they scream (who knew) & runs thru yard in a panic, with them still in his clenches. Yes, rabbit screams the whole time. It is seriously unnerving to me

Only drops It when I chase him down. Then rabbit scampers off Seemingly unharmed, back to its nest under one of our sheds.

An hour or so later we often repeat the whole thing. At that point pooch is on a leash outside for his bathroom breaks as punishment.
Would make a good house for HHN l

 

[Elsaspiritanimal]

Yay Mac for the license!

Man it sounds like I need a dog. We have all kinds of critters in our yard. The biggest nuisance is the deer since they eat all of my plants but sometimes it seems like we have a wildlife refuge here or something!

Went to the salon today and got my roots touched up - back to Elsa blond for me! Then stopped at old Navy for a cute Brewers tank and left with a huge bag full of 6 dollar tanks. But I will use them to make cute Disney or Universal shirts so its all good! I even got them put away before hubby got home. Hehe.

Its finally cooled down here a little after the rain last night - high of 82 today. Still wonderful summer weather but not the blazing hot 90's and humid so I'll take it. Looking forward to the weekend work was busy after being off most of last week so ready to do some house projects instead - then Sunday is my birthday! I'm now closer to 40 than 30 but maybe that means I'm getting wiser......?? Errr we'll at least pretend that is true!

I made the mistake of watching people live streaming for WDW reopening and now I want to do a last minute trip instead of waiting until September. Disneyland delaying the opening ruined my planned trip out west but I could always just do a different one out there right? And one can never have too many trips to Florida.

Happy Friday and weekend to all!

 

[Charade67]

Hello everyone. Having a lazy Friday today. B and I worked on our puzzle until midnight last night, so i slept late today. I was having more crazy dreams. We had lunch at our favorite Mexican place, and then I went to Michaels. I am normally not a very crafty person, but I had an idea for something yesterday, I will share it later if it turns out well.

Taking Louie (Cavalier) with us

Aww...he's cute.

​

My husband makes a similar comment every time I watch Murder, She wrote.

Then there’s today. While I am inland enough from the shore, we get the effects of Coastal storms, anyway. Hence, Tropical Storm Fay will make landfall this afternoon at the shore., and we get 2 or more inches of rain, thunderstorms and bands of heavy rain all through today. The shore forecast: 60 mph winds, and severe thunderstorms and tornado chances. They have put a Storm Watch for the shore areas, Flash Flooding watch for most of the areas to the West of the shore, including my county. Ms. Fay will give me rain until 8 to 10pm tonight. Rain loser for sure. McK, you may not get much rain at all, or not as much as me.

We have been lucky, It looks like we are going to miss Fay's wrath. I hope it's not too bad for you.

My sister K and I went up to check on our dad. He has lost 20 pounds since Stepmom died....I have a half sister that lives near him. So she tries to see him as much as she can, but she works a lot.

We all went with him to settle a date and all the arrangements for Stepmoms memorial service.

Talked to him about him coming to stay with me for a couple of weeks. My sister that lives down south Is going to try and make it up here if he decides to come here.

Will give him a chance to get away for awhile and spend some time with his daughters. I can fatten him up a little.

Hope he is able to come and y'all have a nice time together.

Well one DD called to let me know one of her coworkers is on quarantine since she was exposed to the virus. She was working in another facility so she wasn't around my daughter. A client tested positive and thankfully the client called my daughter's coworker to let her know. I think that's a positive of her to do it and I bet a lot of people don't think to let others know if they have the virus or not.

I'm glad to hear that people are being considerate of others they encounter. Some of our therapists are now creating release forms for their clients who want to be seen in person.

I got my drivers license today!

It took a few minutes and did not have to do any testing.

Was told I was given incorrect info by email and all tests were waived for those with no points on their driving record.

And I’m good for another 8 years.

Yay! I know that's a relief.

I made the mistake of watching people live streaming for WDW reopening and now I want to do a last minute trip instead of waiting until September. Disneyland delaying the opening ruined my planned trip out west but I could always just do a different one out there right? And one can never have too many trips to Florida.

I really want to go back too, but not now. I don't do well with the heat. When dh gets his next overload pay we will start planning our trip for March.

I should probably attempt to do something productive today. I've washed some face masks, so I guess that is something. Oh, almost forgot, I saw a license plate the other day that made me laugh, It said, "EW COVID".

 

[macraven]

Some high temps for homies here!

You all know I’m in GA and our heat started in April.
Today it’s only 91 with a heat index at 97.

Prediction for a few days from now, will be 97 with higher heat index.

If you are not used to high temps, I hope you have attic fans or ac.

Many of you are having unusual hot weather where you feel like you are in Orlando!

I need to read back a few pages in the thread to see what all are up to today.
Back later.

 

[Realfoodfans]

@keishashadow Cavaliers are amazing temperaments - always had big dogs before but we knew we couldn’t put the miles in any more but he’s a little dog with a big character!

My friends tribute was so overwhelming. He was President of Southport Rugby Football Club and we estimated 1,000 people lined the route for the cortège past the club. The sun came out, police stopped all the traffic and his wife and 3 children got out of their car and walked behind him as they passed the crowd who clapped them through. He was such a dear kind man who will be very missed. Really makes you want to make the most of every day. Life is so precious.

Bottle of Prosecco on return home and we’re going to watch the Will Ferrell Eurovision movie now.

Happy weekend all x

 

[mckennarose]

Yum, fresh vegetables, yeah, and rabbits do a job on all. We have Greek Oregano, some tomatoes and hot peppers. That’s all.

Tomatoes and hot peppers are staples in the garden. Are your tomatoes getting red yet? Mine are not. But they're getting big.

Yes, rabbit screams the whole time. It is seriously unnerving to me

Would make a good house for HHN l

LOL! Oh yes, I've heard the bunny scream before. Seriously terrifying! My sister's lab mix used to LOVE to grab them. He was a very stealthy dog and so quiet before he would grab one. And the rabbit's first defense is to freeze and try to blend in with the background, which never works.

Breaded & fried Oreos baked slices, stuffed meat or sausage italian style, Or with stewed tomatoes. Not a fan of fritters, bread, etc

Yum! I don't make bread usually either. I do make a zucchini lasagna and spiralize them for a pasta substitute. But we like a dish with zucchini, carrots and onions, which I sometimes add chicken to. I like to stuff them with meat and veggies like you do too. Or we just slice them long ways into thin slices and grill them with salt, pepper and olive oil.

Peppers Slow here just buds tomatoes maybe an inch big lol

I bought some early ones that are getting really big, but still green. The romas are getting there too. I tried a new cherry tomato called Mexico Midget and they are loaded with them, just not green yet. Sigh.....

Then stopped at old Navy for a cute Brewers tank and left with a huge bag full of 6 dollar tanks. But I will use them to make cute Disney or Universal shirts so its all good! I even got them put away before hubby got home. Hehe

Oooh, nice! Enjoy!

Looking forward to the weekend work was busy after being off most of last week so ready to do some house projects instead - then Sunday is my birthday!

I made the mistake of watching people live streaming for WDW reopening and now I want to do a last minute trip instead of waiting until September.

Exactly why I won't watch it! LOL!

We had lunch at our favorite Mexican place, and then I went to Michaels. I am normally not a very crafty person, but I had an idea for something yesterday, I will share it later if it turns out well.

Two of my favorite things.... Mexican food and Michaels. I'm interested in what you're creating!

Today it’s only 91 with a heat index at 97.

Prediction for a few days from now, will be 97 with higher heat index.

Oh wow, that's hot! Stay cool!

My friends tribute was so overwhelming. He was President of Southport Rugby Football Club and we estimated 1,000 people lined the route for the cortège past the club. The sun came out, police stopped all the traffic and his wife and 3 children got out of their car and walked behind him as they passed the crowd who clapped them through. He was such a dear kind man who will be very missed. Really makes you want to make the most of every day. Life is so precious.

That's a lovely tribute.

Cuban pork tonight for dinner. I did it in the pressure cooker since I was gone quite a bit today. And cuban black beans, which I cheat and start with canned beans. Oh well... who has time to soak beans anyway?! Rice and a chimmichurri sauce and we're good to go.

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, older one wants cheesesteak mac and cheese. Okay, and little one will eat it too. Done, dinner decided. Off to make it.

Big happy birthday to Elsa! Yay, weekend started for me a few hours ago. Woot!

McK, yep, tomatoes getting big,but not quite red yet. Usually in August, as I was late in getting them planted. Peppers and the oregano, both have been harvested already. Oregano comes back every year, and peppers were planted earlier. And what a wonderful turnout for the family of that man. Always sad for those left behind.

Charade, late night puzzling is more my sister’s time, than mine. Almost done a cute Christmas one, cause, you know, Christmas in July. LoL

Hunger cries. Gotta go.

 

[keishashadow]

Wow, weather took a left turn, funnel clouds reported, no softball tonight. I was semi productive, went thru my flights and got price drop credits. Old habits die hard, now to just use them, any of them lol

Robbi - hope the memorial planning goes smoothly. Process can be so stressful

Went to the salon today and got my roots touched up - back to Elsa blond for me! Then stopped at old Navy for a cute Brewers tank and left with a huge bag full of 6 dollar tanks. But I will use them to make cute Disney or Universal shirts so its all good! I even got them put away before hubby got home. Hehe.

Love that description lol. My ‘underneath’ roots are pretty awful. Didn’t really notice until it’s been so hot & hair has been pulled back all week. Ah well, there are still many more like me in the same boat. At least the top looks good

I made the mistake of watching people live streaming for WDW reopening and now I want to do a last minute trip instead of waiting until September. Disneyland delaying the opening ruined my planned trip out west but I could always just do a different one out there right? And one can never have too many trips to Florida.

Makes perfect sense to me, down with any travel pretzel logic thrown my way.

I should probably attempt to do something productive today. I've washed some face masks, so I guess that is something. Oh, almost forgot, I saw a license plate the other day that made me laugh, It said, "EW COVID".

It was only a matter of time for that vanity plate.

Admit to not washing a single mask, well the gaiters. I spray them with Lysol. Have a friend who insists that she just leaves them in the car & the extreme heat kills the virus. Maybe? IDK. Was informed spraying the paper ones a bad idea.

He was such a dear kind man who will be very missed. Really makes you want to make the most of every day. Life is so precious.

What better eulogy for a life well-lived.

LOL! Oh yes, I've heard the bunny scream before

Not sure how i escaped that noise for so long but it still makes me uncomfortable thinking about it. Terrifying, had no idea they ‘spoke’

But we like a dish with zucchini, carrots and onions, which I sometimes add chicken to.

That sounds good

I bought some early ones that are getting really big, but still green. The romas are getting there too. I tried a new cherry tomato called Mexico Midget and they are loaded with them, just not green yet. Sigh.....

My mister grows his from seeds, starts early spring with grow lights in the basement. one of my DS needed to use washer/dryer when his was out. was alarmed, thought we were growing ‘herbs’. All had a good laugh

[Charade67]

Good evening! Today I managed to get in 30 minutes of exercise and a trip to Hobby Lobby. Yes, Michaels and Hobby Lobby on the same day.

 

[Charade67]

Oops, hit post too soon.

Some high temps for homies here!

You all know I’m in GA and our heat started in April.
Today it’s only 91 with a heat index at 97.

Prediction for a few days from now, will be 97 with higher heat index.

If you are not used to high temps, I hope you have attic fans or ac.

I just looked at the forecast and we should have temps in the high 90s next week. Our AC is on constantly.

My friends tribute was so overwhelming. He was President of Southport Rugby Football Club and we estimated 1,000 people lined the route for the cortège past the club. The sun came out, police stopped all the traffic and his wife and 3 children got out of their car and walked behind him as they passed the crowd who clapped them through. He was such a dear kind man who will be very missed. Really makes you want to make the most of every day. Life is so precious.

What a beautiful way to honor him.

Two of my favorite things.... Mexican food and Michaels. I'm interested in what you're creating!

I should be able to post tomorrow. The whole family participated in my art project tonight.

Cuban pork tonight for dinner. I did it in the pressure cooker since I was gone quite a bit today. And cuban black beans, which I cheat and start with canned beans. Oh well... who has time to soak beans anyway?! Rice and a chimmichurri sauce and we're good to go.

Yum! We are going out for Cuban food tomorrow.

Charade, late night puzzling is more my sister’s time, than mine. Almost done a cute Christmas one, cause, you know, Christmas in July. LoL

You are not the night owl that I am. You are really productive in the early morning while I am still sleeping.

Admit to not washing a single mask, well the gaiters. I spray them with Lysol. Have a friend who insists that she just leaves them in the car & the extreme heat kills the virus. Maybe? IDK. Was informed spraying the paper ones a bad idea.

I don't wash mine as well as I should. I am still trying to find a mask I am comfortable with. The child sized ones I bought are close, but not quite there. I ordered some that have both the metal nose piece and adjustable ear loops. I hope they will work well.

Posted in another thread but wanted to share interesting article in local newspaper

https://triblive.com/local/regional/for-those-who-dont-want-to-mask-up-try-a-face-shield/

One of the cashiers at Michaels was wearing one of those today. I would be willing to wear one. I think they look silly, but at least you can breathe.
