I will forthrightly admit, I was nervous about it. But it was _good_! I missed this. I love avocado chocolate “mousse.” I agree, it’s a little heavy to be called a mousse. It’s been twenty five years since I’ve hair this long. I’ve forgotten how to keep it out of my face. I feel like Cousin It every time I look down. ---

> [@Aspenglow](#): > > I mean really, really _good_!

I must admit, it was a little surreal, I was listing to the news updates and seeing pics of burnt and burning houses while watching the hummingbirds flit through the rain in our front yard. Finding accommodations for someone is much easier if you are sitting at your desktop in a comfortable room than if you are melting in a car with cats squalling in your ears. You might have some experience with that! (when I was moving, George got us kicked out of the so-called pet-friendly motel because he was a cat. I posted here begging for suggestions and our super-mod was able to find a cat friendly hotel for us.) > [@Mollie\_Magill](#): > > I can stay home and still get all dolled up. > > [All dolled up.](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55387910064_fbc996e27c_b.jpg) > > [Smile!](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55387727566_75fc95bef4_b.jpg) Lookin’ good!

> [@JaneDoe42](#): > > Lookin’ good! (foundation covers ear-lobes and should be blended to an inch under your blouse neckline) Noted. I was proud of myself to remember to bring it down my neck (thanks Rick and Morty - no seriously). I should have realized that it needs to be brought lower. I contour my cleavage (It needs all the help it can get right now.), so foundation in the same area makes sense. Keep those tips coming. Everyone else has a forty year headstart on me. ---

The radio was playing WVPE’s Blues Review, and the band was Mississippi Heat. The singer, who I first mistook for Janis Joplin, is Sheryl Youngblood. I’m not a believer in reincarnation, but the vocal resemblance was so strong that I actually looked the dates. Nope. Youngblood was born in 1958, and Janis didn’t die until 1070.

> [@swampbear](#): > > **FlyBoy** how did the hot link in the toaster oven you had for breakfast taste? Just curious cause I like hot links but I have never had toaster oven. 🤪 It was good. I split it, so it was like cooking it in a frying pan; but there was nothing to wash, because I just lined the basket with foil. I got the hot links at Chef’s Store. Surprisingly, they’re actually hot. Not as hot as some I’ve had in New Orleans, and certainly not as hot as properly-seasoned merguez; but hotter than, say, Hempler’s andouille or ‘hot’ Italian sausage from the supermarket. I had a couple of small heels of bread, so I made a sandwich. Dinner with the church people was nice. Not a lot of religious talk. (Hardly any, actually.) I took my Frisbee that I’ve never played with, and the kids played with it. No idea where it is now. Good thing I didn’t take my lawn darts (Jarts)! Well, now I have an excuse to get a ‘classic’ one. If only I knew how much they weighed in the '70s. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 74 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 94 and becomin’ partly cloudy this afternoon. TWPTB say a 60% chance of rain this evenin’. We shall see. The plan of the day is to lounge about da cave. So far, other Verger has not texted me, so I assume she will serve today. I may go gas up vehicle at some point this mornin’ as I need to. I should have whilst out yestiddy, but when I was done all I wanted was to be in da cave. So, mayhaps I will do that and get us some stoner food for today’s main need to feed. **JtC** good on you for helpin’ TC find a place for her and her critters. Glad she’s back home now. YIKES! **BrightTree** glad the avocado mousse turned out well and that you had a good time with your friends while Ollie had a fun romp with his friend. **Mollie** lookin’ good there! You look so happy! Plus a floozie tip from **JtC**! **shoe** pasta sallit, YUM! The lunch for the family yestiddy was sammiches, various sallits (includin’ pasta) fruit, little cheesecake bites, lemon pound cake and cookies. A really good lookin’ Summer lunch and the family really appreciated it. It got pretty much devoured, so the planners done good. Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, onward into the day! Rah.
