FRIDAY BEFORE THE 4TH

Let's start our day with a good morning here.

FRIDAY BEFORE THE 4TH

Postby Nasoosie » Fri Jul 03, 2009 7:31 am

GOOD MORNING, ALL!!!

I hope this morning is dawning well, for you, Barbzeee, and that you are feeling better and better as the time goes on. We can't wait for you to get back and keep us all informed, as you do so well! It seems that I am the first one to post on here this morning, so I will do my best!

It's a fairly decent morning now----61 degrees, slight breeze, and it has stopped raining like it was when I first woke up at 5:00 am. I looked outside, saw a deer in the yard that Molly was growling at, and crawled back into bed. What a total luxury to be able to do that!

Today I will vacuum the house, do one more load of laundry---mainly the covers over the chairs in the living room as they are totally mohaired with Molly and Twitch fur----gather all the stuff I need to take to my daughter's house tomorrow, make my famous 'recipe' for toasting in the 4th, and pretty much wait for the time to pick up kids at Plattsburgh Airport!

I shopped for groceries at Price Chopper store in Lake Placid yesterday, and earned enough on my PriceChopper card to get gas at the local station for 40 cents a gallon less than normal! I kicked myself when I got home, however, as I had the gas containers for lawnmower and Kicker in the back to fill, and I forgot! You can only use that discount on your card once, up to 20 gallons. (Until I shop again and earn more discount----once I held it for almost the month you are able to use it, and got 60 cents per gallon off the going price!) I only needed about 11 gallons yesterday. Sigh----makes me so mad when I do stuff like that!

Sun is actually peeking through here, and I can feel the temperature rising. I am really going to miss this neat computer desk on my porch in the winter! It's beautiful out here!

Here's where I am....and the rain has started coming down yet again! Sigh----where is the nice warm July sun, anyway?? That little card game (Parcheesi?) table top in the background with the table cloth over it is my Yamaha generator which I keep here to use for emergencies in the winter. The table top came from one of the various camper vans I have had over the years! Serves a nice purpose here! Sometimes hoarding pays off! It even has two little drink cup holders built into it! It's covered with THICK polyurethane finish, so should hold up just fine out here for the summer. I will periodically start that generator to keep it running smoothly.

Pull up a chair, join me here in Barb's kitchen, and let us know what's up in your world today. I may not be on here for the next couple of days, so whoever gets up first, it'll be up to you to get things going here until Barb gets back. I could be wrong---my daughter might have a router at her house, and I might be able to get on. We will be partying hardy! (And hearty, too!)

Happy 4th weekend. I need to get my flag from the barn that has been flying for the past 30 4ths, and take it with me to daughter's house to fly high yet again. As soon as this latest rain shower stops!
Life is about learning to dance in the rain
Happy travels!

I'm up, I'm up and good morning
coffee and toast for me this morning, but I bet if I looked around I'd find some
of Barbz biscotti.
I only have one "have to" errand today and that is to go over and give my daughters
cat her medicine this morning and then go again this evening. Poor Kitty got sick
before daughters trip, she was all hunched up and acted in pain and big knot in
her stomach. Vet gave her two medicines and if no improvement, then come back.
She seems to be getting better, we think somebody kicked her, but will never know.
I also need to go pick up the "new battery" and swap it out for another new battery.
Dealership said its a defective new battery with one bad cell in it. Then I'll take the
new new battery back to the dealership. In the meantime, they used a loaner while
they worked on the car. The only disturbing part is that the dealership is 30 miles
away one way but its something I'd rather do today while I have the day off.
Enjoy your 4th and make sure all your tags on your pets have a current phone #.
The news says the 4th of July is the biggest time of year for lost pets.
Have a great day and be safe.
Barbz, hope your doing well and god bless
Somewhere with Ava and Maggie

Morning!
As I don't have air conditioning in the house I was up earlier to bake enough chicken for the next day or so and baked some cookies, too. I have the house all opened up and the fans blowing in the cool air. Suppose to hit 95 today! :oops:
People were already shooting off fireworks last night. My pug spent most of the evening behind the sofa hiding. Fireworks are legal in WA and there are stands in every grocery store parking lot! We have rules about when we can shoot them off in our sub'd. but the surrounding sub'ds don't.
For all of you traveling for the holiday weekend, please stay safe and have fun!
