I just love that song by the Mamas & Papas....

Monday Monday, so good to me,
Monday Monday, it was all I hoped it would be

Woke up. It was 58 out. Took Tyler for a short walk just to enjoy the beauty and the cool temps. Have scrambled eggs, bacon, toast and coffee. Come and get it.

Below is a picture of my "down" project. Something I can do while taking it easy. It has taken more than 10 hours (2 at a time) to polish just one candle stick. Boy my arm is sore. This doesn't show the candelabra part that fits on top to use 5 candles.

Hope everyone has a great day and stays safe. Aloha.

Good morning from CT. What do you use for polish? Looks good but I won't commit to ten hours!!! Peggy

Morning, all....I'm adding more coffee and some sweet rolls to the breakfast table, if you are interested..

Wow....10 hours of polishing....looks beautiful....hope your arm holds out to finish the rest....

All right, have a great day all...

Red, that looks beautiful. 10 hours! Wow! That is dedication or boredom, one or the other

Lori, the sweetrolls sounds good to go with my coffee.

Barb, I am hoping for good news on Ms. Reba for you.

So proud of Nicky too. Ours have turned out to be good campers. They don't bark excessively when outside, which is what I was really worried about. Belle is the most vocal, but I think it is because she is blind and sounds are more intense to her.

I got up really late this morning for me. I woke up at 5:00, went back to sleep, woke up at 6:00, went back to sleep and finally jumped up at 7:37! I was really tired last night. I did not make it through the 10:00 news last night. Mom woke me up to send me to bed. She said I was sitting straight up on the couch and snoring! My family can all tell you I will shake the rafters when I go deep asleep. Mom says I have snored since I was a baby. The kids used to laugh that their Daddy snored, but I was way worse! Not very lady like I refuse to sleep on a plane for just this reason.

Am now sitting here drinking my coffee and going to catch up on the all the postings I did not get to read yesterday. Then I have to get to work on making our reservations for after the FL GTG. We will be heading up to Barb Zeee's area. Mom's sister lives in the Villages during the winter close to Barb so I want to be close to both, if possible. I have already checked with the CG where Barb used to stay and since I only want to stay a month, she did not have any sites for us. She only does 2-3 month reservations at this time. If anyone has any suggestions, I would sure appreciate it.

Everyone have a wonderful day and if you are traveling today, stay safe.

GOOD MORNING SISTAHS!!!

Nothing much going on at the moment here. I do have a doctors appt at 2:15 this afternoon. They are gonna stick my finger, for what? I don't know, check my BP and a couple of other things. I am gonna ask about a handicap tag for in the truck. I really hate to do that. In the back of my mind is the thought that there are people a whole lot worse and need the parking spot more than I do. But for sure there is no way I could park way out in the lot and walk up to the doors. At least not the way that I feel.

The home health nurse called this morning before I got up. He wanted to come over a little after 10 and check on me and stick my finger. ??? I asked him why as I was going to the doctors, his reply was that he didn't know if the doctor did the finger stick to check blood something. I assured him that the doctor did. Then I had a Dr. Raintree's office call to set up an appt for next week. ??? I have no idea who the heck that doctor is. I guess whatever doctor it is saw me once while I was in the hospital. It had to have been while I was out of it cause that name is no where in my memory. Ya know I really wonder about some doctors and hospitals sometimes. My X hubby was in a truck accident and while in the hospital under the care of total diff doctors because his primary care doc hadn't been called, he was paid 2 visits by his primary care doc. Well when everything was said and done we got a bill for that doctors visits, 4 of them ?. We disputed it. Boy did it hit the fan and the doctor dropped him as a patient. Shortly after son was born we received a bill from a doctor for circumcision. When we disputed the bill it hit the fan and turned into quite the tussle. I finally offered to take son to hospital and have examined. Told them if they could find where he had been circumcised then I would OK the ins to pay the bill. They dropped the matter. In other words people, Please always check your bill out item per item.

OK, enough finger jabbering. Hope ya'll have a great day, if your on the road use a little extra caution.

Love to all

Sitting here wishing I was still camping with Sharon and Karen. We were having so much fun. My DH was not too happy that I was gone from Thursday to Monday last week and left again Thursday, Friday and Saturday. My friend had talked me into taking 2 kittens someone had dumped where she works. They can't be over a month old so I was camping with cats again. I thought about calling her when they would wake me up at 4:30 to eat.

The cool front that came through yesterday is nice. It's in the 80's during the day but was cool last night.

Martha

Wow Red 10 hours on one piece, I'd have tossed it out the door long before then even if it is really pretty, or I'd be sending it for whoever is receiving it to clean

Sarah your silver is beautiful, do you also have jewelry? I'm glad Nicky did better on the trip home, I bet once he realized he's going some place fun he will be ready to go when he sees you packing up.

Barbzee, what is Rice Fields? I'm having problems with Charley, he has been having difficulties getting up and down for awhile but is getting worse. Now, he lays down while he eats and like Reba some meals he eats others I can only get a little down him. I'm feeding him mostly with a spoon three times a day and he is a slow eater This week he loves Ziwi Peak canned Venison from New Zeland I have two more flavors to try if he gets tired of that. At this point I'm feeding pretty much what ever he will eat and so far no stomach issues. He's the one that has bloated three times!

Echo, I imagine they want to stick your finger to check your blood sugar levels. Did they say you have diabetes?

We are having another cool lovely morning so guess I should do something besides sit here at the computer like vacuum ACK!

Gorgeous drop dead beautiful day here in Breaux Bridge, La! Haven't had the a/c on for 2 days now and I'm loving it!! Karen and Frank pulled out this morning and Martha bailed on us yesterday. I told Karen I wasn't gonna cry since I would be seeing her in 2 months in Tx, but of course I did anyway. Sure does look lonely here, but Carolyn will be back over here later. We headed out to Baton Rouge this morning for some sightseeing and Carolyn was looking at my book to see what I had mentioned I would like to go see and she noticed that all but 1 on the list was closed today. Duh! I looked at that book this morning and didn't read that part. So since tomorrow was gonna be a down day for maintenence and getting ready to pull out on Wed, I did a u-turn and we are doing the down day today and BR tomorrow. Good thing Martha bailed on us for today!! (She was gonna drive over from her house and go with us for the day) LOL!

Martha hauled out those kittens the other day. I think she was hoping one of us would fall in love and take them off her hands. No one fell for it and she went home with kittens intact.

I'm glad Carolyn's keeping up with pictures since I've been so bad about it for the past couple of years. I used to be really good, but after having been on the forums for 7 years or so I just can't seem to get it together to post them. Maybe I'll get bored at the boy chicks house and get some done if my connection with my phone is good enough. Have to use the phone here to get online, wifi is 15 a week and it's tangonet which sucks anyway.

Hope everyone is having a great day and travel safe!!! Sure was sorry to miss the Alabama GTG, I've wanted to meet Vickie (HorizonSeeker) for a while now. Hopefully next year when I get back east again.

A putzing around day today in GC north rim. I have some work to complete on getting my fall class ready and need to check on my summer class final exam status. Then I might go for a long walk and do some laundry.

I pulled out some chicken to thaw, so I can make some chicken and rice dish with mushroom soup. Then I can parcel it out into smaller containers to reheat as I need it. Nice to have completed meals frozen.

This retirement is rough!

Oh, I went to the visitor center yesterday and met Gaelyn, the lady who has lived in an EV for 20 yeas and has a blog. Very interesting chat. Also attended her campfire talk last night. Glad I left my porch light on and took a flashlight along to find my way home.
