Hope you’re enjoying TX and the heat. We found that we really couldn’t do anything outside like swim, tennis, walks, etc until at least 7pm or so for much of the year.
VanGogh I’m so glad to learn that Ms. Peach came home on her own.
Dicey Thank you
I love that you’re having blouses made from leftover fabric from your bridesmaid’s dresses!
This is what I’ve always done but I didn’t know better. Although if I started rhyming it with gone now, I don’t think people in the Mitten state would know what I’m talking about.
My Babcia on the farm used one. So, yes, I saw one actually in use. But Babcia was not a pioneer, she was an immigrant from Poland.
Nope, I’m Catholic. AFAIR it’s Rocker who is Orthodox
I hope Ms. Peach didn’t get overly friendly with a boy dog.
After reading update: yikes, hope that stinkeye isn’t because Ms. Peach is annoyed that she might not be able to get out to see a boyfriend again. ![]()
Definitely looking forward to seeing Snoopy’s Doghouse. Snoopy is my favorite!
That’s wonderful! ![]()
FCM Lovely day on the boat with engine performing well and daughter and grands having a fun time.
We’ve been getting watermelon in Kroger for about a month; probably come from down in Swampy’s parts and they have been very sweet and juicy. Mmmmmm.
My day was busy again. Up at 7am to cut up carrots, celery, broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized, red, yellow and orange bell peppers into strips, made several radish rosettes, peeled then used fork to pull along sides of cuke then sliced. Then blanched the broccoli and cauliflower. All this plus grape tomatoes for a crudite tray for the coffee hour after the service at daughter’s church; had ranch dressing on side.
The bishop was presiding today. Swampy, you may recall that daughter is also an 'piscopalian. The bishop confirmed one gent and welcomed/recognized two ladies as members of the one holy catholic and apostolic Church and received them into fellowship of this Communion. Then a blessing was given for 2 gents on their 10th anniversary. The coffee hour was outstanding. I helped set up and the food that was brought was of great variety and so very good.
Afterward we went to daughter’s house. Hubs and I changed into casual duds then I took Bella for a walk. I made sure to take a disposal bag with me that was filled within a block. After half a mile, we came to a park where I disposed of the waste. Continued our walk and after another half mile Bella relieved herself of more solid waste. I’d only taken one bag and the waste bag holder on the leash was empty. So I had to call and ask one of them to bring a bag to me. Luckily we were only 2 blocks from her house. We lounged in the backyard for awhile then I got a little overheated so went inside to lay on the couch. Daughter’s partner had made a big set of dice for Yardzee. So the 3 of them played that while I fell asleep inside. But then I woke up coughing with acid reflux coating my trachea and barely up toward my throat. I HATE that! Texted each of them for help. Finally daughter’s partner came in and gave me some calcium carbonate chews and a pepcid. I also drank a glass of milk to coat the burning and then glass of water. Dinner was cheeseburgers grilled with condiments of lettuce, tomato and avocado. We also had leftover crudites with it. I had the most scrumptious brownie that I poached from the coffee hour for dessert.
Wishing all MMP Dad’s and those serving in the capacity a Happy Father’s Day. God Bless.
