Hello all.
We got some rain last night and it looks like we might be in for more. It's overcast and muggy - yuck.
Other than that exciting news, lol, no too much going on other than work.
So how is your day going?

Just a quick hello from me - my sister and I are taking our mother on a trip out of town because she wants to buy a wig. Then she wants to take us to the mall and buy us gifts for our upcoming birthdays. Harkens back to the days I was a youth, and my Mom always tried to buy me things that she liked but I didn't, lol. It'll be a long day, but I'm grateful that my Mom's still with me, and we can have this day together.
Hope you all have a nice Wednesday! ~ Charlene

Good Morning/Afternoon, and thanks for getting us started, Bernie. It is hot and sunny here, but maybe hotter than you would like. It was pretty nice when I started my walk this morning -- a bit of a breeze and not too hot, but by the end, I was ready to get indoors. Not that I'm complaining -- like Jean, I much prefer hot weather to cold and sunny to cloudy.
I have removed so much "stuff" from my living and dining rooms to the Arizona room that I am really missing it. LOL I know it will be better when the walls are painted something other than plain white. Painting should start tomorrow -- fingers crossed on that one.
My excitement for the day is going out to dinner with my Newcomers group. It has been a long time since I went out to dinner, and I hope the food and company will be very good. All the others will be attending with spouses/significant others. Not ideal, but what I can I do. I need to get used to the change, I suppose.
I'll be visiting DH this morning, and I plan to go to the shopping center with JCP, etc. I have a coupon that I want to use to buy more towels. I took two sets to the facility, so I am a little short. Not much else on the sort of "need"/"/want list, but it will be nice to get out to stores other than Wal-Mart, the 99 cent store, and Safeway. I like those stores as well, but it is nice to have some variety at times.
We had a bunch of overripe bananas at the senior lunch program, so I made two banana breads yesterday evening. I will probably take one to the "Club" and the other to DH's facility.
Waves to Jean (working today), Kathleen, Arlene, twinny (have a great vacation), snicks, Essie, Susan, Marijane, 3suw...5, Charlene, Rosa, Gayle, Barbara, Karen, meallen, butterfly, LindaR, pinky ann, and all of our posters and readers.
Have a nice day everyone!
Hugs,
Linda.

Good morning ladies - we have a nice start to the day. A bit breezy, but cool so far. I'm getting last minute things done today for the weekend.
We have friends coming in, not sure what the schedule will be for all. Hope the weekend brings nice weather, as the guys would like to golf.
Other than 'on-call' for jury duty, that will be our priority.
Going to check on the status of the 'new' Paneras build underway. I'm watching every week or so, so as not to miss the open. I might stand at the front door, with my face pressed against the glass, yelling OPEN, OPEN. It can't open soon enough for me.
Linda - I hope you get the painting done tomorrow and can leisurely move things back in over the long weekend. I have a large bag of overripe bananas in the freezer, it's about time to make some cake, bread, etc.
Birdmama - I hope you have a long weekend coming up. I don't like muggy, hot is ok in my book.
Charlene - enjoy your day with sis and Mom, it should be fun!!
Meallen - thanks for the cupcake, looks good!!
We used our new airfryer last night for sweet potatoe waffle fries - they came out just right. Think we're going to enjoy that machine.
Have a wonderful day and weekend. Keep those CCs on lockdown.

Afternoon, Thanx @Bird mama for the start, our weather has finally improved, sunny & 70's for the next few days, windows open, lovin it
@LindaLatte Hope you enjoy your dinner out, my favorite sport lol, I have found most couples accept it, some not so much, was once told it's the female that's insecure, so be it, I just moved on, a part of life I guess, this group may well be very welcoming & understanding. Banana bread sounds good
@meallen616 Thanx for the lovely graphic as usual
@cerb Have fun shopping with Mom, you'll enjoy the time spent together
I did buy some apples today, plan on making an apple cake, would prefer apple slices but I don't do to well with pie crust. Tomorrow is back to the airport, have Labor Day entertainment, bands, which I think we'll be moving them around the terminals as space has become extremely limited, oh well the vendors do bring in the $$
Waves to all, have a good evening

Good afternoon everyone and thanks @Bird mama for the start. Sorry about the mugginess, we have it too, along with rain, which surprised me this morning. (I was all ready to head out for my walk when it started, lol). Enjoy your day at work, if that is possible.
@cerb, aww, that is nice that you and your sister are spending the day with mom. Enjoy.
@meallen616, yummy looking cupcake.
@LindaLatte, I hope the painting does start tomorrow. That will be nice for you to have that done. Enjoy your dinner out although I do know it will be different for you, but good for you to go ahead and join the others. Hope dinner is yummy. I also hope DH continues to do well and adapt to his new surrounding.
As I mentioned earlier in my post, I was heading out to walk, when it started raining, I hope it stops so I can walk later on. Meanwhile, I made cookies, zucchini cookies, that I made a couple weeks ago and went fast. I will take some to my neighbor, again, as she is so nice to share her garden produce with me.
Today is my eldest daughter's b-day. Wish I could take her to lunch/dinner, but she is in Ca.
It's been almost 2 weeks since I called about my front yard and no work has been done there yet, it's like a swamp at this point.
Nothing exciting here. Have a great day. Waves.....

It's a "Big Weekend" coming up...
What do you have planned...?
It is the last "Big Sale of the Summer"...
What will you be buying this Labor Day?
New "Patio Furniture" at 40 to 50% off a great new set for next Summer? Or that humangus "New Grill" your Husband always badly wanted...?
Great sale on "Bathing Suits" too...You may just find something to put away for next Summer...?
Or will you be the one who hits the "Garden Center" / "Nursery"?
With "Fall Mums" being the show stopper, with their spectacular array of color...
What colors of "Fall Mums" will you be displaying this Fall? Weather your putting them right into the garden or selecting to display on your Front Porch...?
Or will the focus be your clothes / shoe closets...?
What do I keep? What do I donate?
Making room, for your "New Fall Wardrobe"...
Or will you be throwing or going to it be the last "Big Picnic" of the Summer?
Those of you with children, will probably be going crazy trying to get all those school supplies on the required list...
Whatever you and yours may be doing...May you all have a safe, fun weekend!
Oh and I almost forgot...
What am I doing this "Labor Day Weekend"...?
Well on Friday, September 2nd, my husband and I will be celebrating our 27th Wedding Anniversary. Sometime, over the 3 day weekend we will go out someplace for a nice dinner.
I also plan on going thru a closet or two...Donating to charity.
And just taking it easy...relaxing!
Whatever it is you are planning or doing...Be Safe and Enjoy!
