morning all
thanks for the morning brew, Mick. I always appreciate how much thoughtfulness you put into your posts.

feeling a little brain fried this morning. Slept in till 8! Long day, yesterdiddy and in the evening after a shower I ended up having to take a cold bath, couldn't get cooled off, we have no AC. Pauly, I don't see how in the world you stand it. 112º is hot, humidity or not!

TT, glad to see you, hope all is well with you. Nora, don't be a stranger, "step" in any time.

well, off to shake out the cobwebs. I hope everyone's Sunday is a pleasant one.
Sam

Morning Mick and Friends. Got a table reserved for us inside. First round (of coffee) is on me.

[paulywogg]

Mae everybody, Pie,thanks for booking us,is it bad that I zoomed in on "steaks" at 6:40 am? Haha,I have food issues I think, Mick,pretty plant,Sam,hope you're finally cooled off,had to buy a new toilet for the upstairs bathroom cuz it was getting gross! The hard water here builds up over time and it's impossible to get them clean,plus it started having that"old toilet" smell,bleck,I never use that bathroom so I only barely noticed, I feel like doing absolutely nothing today like the Bruno Mars song,so I won't,much love to all

Great post Mick, your posts always make me smile. I am also reading Vince Flynn, "Kill Shot".

I am currently living in an appt. until my house sells and I so miss gardening. I think our summer starts today. Between the rass being at saturation point because they are still running the sprinklers ?? my dog Peggy has fungus issues. Vet wants to sell me expensive ointment and liquid flush. I looked up the natural way, apple cider vinegar and water in a squeeze bottle, flushed out her paws and presto, no more licking her paws, will do it again today.

Hello to everyone else.

[NoraC]

Happy Sunday. Thanks for letting me pop in here instead of lurking.
I'll have to check out the book recommendations. I might actually get back to the last Stephen King book today. Feeling lazy today too, Pauly.

Mick - I'll check out that book site. I'll give a shout out if I need help.

Have a great day everyone.

PS - thanks for telling me to 'step' in Sam. lol

Morning everyone its Monday here but I thought to avoid confusion I would post on this thread. A big thanks for the welcome (and the cushion PQ). We had a spot of snow on Sunday and it was very cold - but it didn't settle. Today is a tough one for me work wise so I better get my skates on soon.
Catch you later!

[porqoui]

MAE ALL...very late check in for me. It was 66F at 5am this morning so headed over to water the garden before it got any hotter. No complaints as I compare my temps to Pauly's! Vegas is cooking.

Mick...glad you survived the chop house visit. Another dentist tomorrow :egad: Nice turnip, do you or Julie do a lot of canning? Hair cut accomplished today, couldn't be bothered yesterday.

Sam...got to admit I'm so grateful to have AC. We don't usually have to deal with this heat, must be something to this climate change! Keep safe while dealing with your temps.

Pi...thanks for the coffee. Got to admit I zeroed in on "steak" same as Pauly. LOL

Pauly...and there's the positive in renting. I don't have to deal with "toilet" issues. Other than early garden watering and a hair cut I was in the same mood as you. Did absolutely nothing after that.

SK...good job on doing it your way. How did we ever survive without google.

Nora...I thought that was pretty clever of Sam too. LOL Hope you had a great day too.

TT...snow :egad: Not the "S" word. It'll be here before I know it. Thanks for not confusing us. LOL That did bring back memories of all your posting's before.

Too hot to BBQ tonight so off to make a spinach salad. Shout out to everyone else....:smile:PPQP

[Pie]

Glad you're here, Nora. Means we won't have to track you down for your big milestone coming up!

Greetings to SK, and TT as well.

Pauly, I thought for sure you'd zoom in on the flowers at the top of the stairs because it looks like a bougainvillea!

[paulywogg]

Pie,food is always the first thing I notice haha,PQ,too hot to bbq here too but I made hubs grill chicken!poor guy

[Lavande]

Good evening Abbers,

Another bedtime check in for me, ha ha!
Today was just as busy but no storms to deal with, thank goodness. The electric company still has trucks running around trying to fix all the damage from yesterday.
The family managed to get here for dinner (except for my son who is at work). Grilled turkey burgers & zucchini - pretty good.

Mick, that's a very pretty flower, I love red blooms
What do you do with your turnips, mash them?
I haven't grown them since the 70's, believe it or not?

Sam, I could not cope without the AC. I don't know how you manage. Take it easy in this disgusting heat. Tomorrow it's supposed to hit 99 degrees & with the humidity it will feel like 106 or something, ugh.

Pie, I noticed the flowers first, ha ha!!!

Pauly, a new toilet is so exciting!! LOL
We have fairly hard water here that will leave stains on things too.

SK, glad you found a natural way to help your doggie. I have put out some crazy money for one of my dogs the past few months for medications that she ends up having problems tolerating anyway.

Hi there Nora & TT, glad to have you both here.

PQ, with all this heat here I've begun fantasizing about snow, just a little!!

Hey Det, hope you are home safe from your desert adventure.

Wishing everyone a peaceful night!

Lav

My cousin's daughter in Indiana posted a selfie of her standing outside. Her glasses were fogged up from the humidity!
