Good morning friends and readers! What are your plans for the weekend? DH says we are going to a moive. I have several errands to run, and my Ikea visit that I never made the other day. I looked at our bank accounts this morning just so I keep current and don't go too crazy spending. I got our fan from the house yesterday and it is a winner! It moves a LOT of air and is much smaller then the "Vornado" that was utterly dissapointing. It will be an outside fan now.
I need to clean out my filthy car and get some walking in as well. Yesterday was an interesting day as I woke at 2am, read a book for a while and never did go back to sleep. It was nice to have lunch with my best friend and I got back here/home "city home" before John Wayne made it home from work. He seems pretty happy.
Off to get some walking in - with or without the dog I have not decided. Perhaps it is time to bring treats along too. I started my day with 2 hours of technology and found a pair of boots to order to replace the ones that are so torn up. The pair I found is faux suede that I never buy, but it is my favorite style so I figured I'd try them.

Good morning!
Rock Chick, you sound very energetic this morning. As far as weekend plans, after work I will be meeting Mark for a cook-out. He retired from Verizon and they have this every year fro the employees and retirees.
Saturday weather permitting we will go sit on the dock in the sun at our local lake.
Church on Sunday followed by breakfast at Cracker Barrel. And of course laundry and just household chores. Nothing too exciting but still fun.
I had ordered the Susan Graver TSV, just recieved it. I love it, it is a different fabrication and very long, but I am very tall so for me it is perfect.
I hope that everyone is doing well.

Hi Rosa! The cookout sounds fun. That is really nice that he can still see all his former coworkers. I took Kyanne and she did a little better with treats and walking around the rv park area instead of the actual park next door. I think I will go walk Ikea and a couple other places. Need to wash my dirty car and get all the dog hairs out.

Good morning everyone. Hope all are well today.
Thanks for starting us off today RC. You are a bundle of energy today, lol, good for you. I need some of that to magically rub off on me, cause I got none. Nice you could have lunch with a friend yesterday. Glad your walk went a bit better with the dog today, and hope you enjoy your IKEA stop and the movie this weekend. Hope you like your new boots when they come.
fbm8282lsm, your weekend plans sound fun, I'm so glad you are enjoying yourself.
I had grand plans to tackle housework this morning, but...hasn't happened yet, just working on a stack of papers that need sorted, some filed, some shredded. I have zero ambition today. Think I overdid it outdoors the last 8-9 days and drained myself of energy. Oh well, maybe I'll get some back later on, nothing is urgent, so not going to push myself, taking it easy today.
Hope everyone has a great day, and weekend. Waves.

we made it back safely from our wonderful Maui vacation. Sydnie announced that she misses the ocean. The only negative was that it was very hot and humid. Usually the trade winds blow but they were blocked by the tropical storms. We had great ac and the pool and beach kept us cool.
I did did no shopping except for groceries and a few pool toys for sydnie. We ate most of our meals in..did a luau and an island tour.
I am am rather jet lagged today..it will take a couple to get back to normal.
Kathleen , sounds like you are keeping busy with the move. Hope you get toIkea.
rosa, your weekend sounds nice. I am tall and love tunics and skinny pants.,I am ready to break out the fall clothes but next week will be hot and humid.
snicks, low energy is a fact of life with me...hope you can rest up and re charge.
twiiny, your trip sounded nice. I lived in pa. And visited the Amish in Lancaster. Great food and nice people. Their handcrafted things are exquisite we will have the state fair heat wave next week.,
i hope oped everyone's day is going well. ((((Hugs))))to all.

Good Morning/Afternoon! Thanks for getting us started Kathleen. You are certainly the energizer bunny today. Glad you are taking care of things and getting in your exercise as well. What type of fan was the winner? I have a new fan that I like, but I could use another one. Any purchase will need to wait until next week (September) since August has been a very expensive month for me/us.
Sounds like you have a fun weekend lined up, Rosa. Enjoy that picnic. Glad the new tunic works for you.
Hi snicks -- do take it easy -- I think maybe you overdid it with all your outside work. I think all of us have occasional days when energy is lacking.
Your trip sounds very nice, twinny. Hope you enjoy the pool party/birthday celebration. That breakfast sounds huge, but delicious.
Welcome home, Barbara. Cute about Syd missing the ocean. She is a lucky girl to have nice trips like that one.
Waves to Jean (working again), Arlene, Bernie, Marijane, Charlene, LindaR, Karen, Gayle, pinky ann, and all of our posters and readers.
Quiet day here. DH and I had a nice walk, and we will go to the gym in a little while. DD said things are going pretty well there, but second DGS is still waiting for his replacement laptop. They did send back the broken one. In the meantime, he is using a desktop -- not the easiest way to go, but okay.
Have a nice Friday everyone!
Hugs,
Linda

Hello All,
Even though I am retired, I have always loved the upbeat feeling of a Friday.
I am just back from the grocery store etc. On Fridays, they have several vendors with food samples etc. So here I am, one hour after lunch snacking on samples of brownies, cookies, and a homemade flour tortilla. I don't think I will have much of an appetite for dinner but it was fun.
My son sent be some very nice luxury type hand soaps and bars this last Mother's Day and I am so hooked. I have quit buying body wash (which in the summer I tend to go through like crazy) and have switched over to these. In the end, I am spending a lot less money vs. buying the body wash and it feels like more of a treat. So that is my money saving "tip" for the day.
It is still hot but the temp was about 8 degrees cooler this am. It felt so good I got a craving for chili so I made some for lunch in a bigger quantity that it will last us for a few meal. Well that is it on this end. Also, almost done with this darn head cold that I have been fighting for the last week...yippee!!
