  2. Good Morning,
    Happy Wednesday!
    You and Lopez might have to put on your raincoats for his walk.

    We have sun today and temperatures expected to reach 80F. Although, right now it's a pretty comfortable mid 60's. Tonight though, they are calling for up to 70 mile per hour winds and rain storms with a chance for a tornado. This will all be happening while we are sleeping, so the meteorologists are saying keep your phones nearby for weather alerts. I always worry about falling trees and loss of power.
    Today is a busy one for me as Wednesday always are with vacuuming, brushing cats and a workout. I will be getting a meal together to put in the crock pot so that helps.
    I hope your day is less crazy than mine. lol.

    Have a wonderful Wednesday, whatever you do!
    Hugs,
    Jackie

  3. Hi Lynda! It is high 74 in Ohio. I am doing laundry today and resting in between. Painting, mulching and powerwashing wore me out this week. Love the sweet pics of the kids and always like seeing where Matt is touring around on his flights. Sushi was wandering downstairs! Good for her! Allison is getting not one but TWO puppies? She will be extra busy for quite awhile. Tommy is 3 and Kloi is 10. They are my last. Never starting over. LOL! I better get laundry going. Have a wonderful day! Hugs!

  4. Just finished my yoga class....and am feeling energetic! High winds are predicted here for later this evening so I must take the time to make sure nothing can blow away. My daughter suggested laying down all the patio chairs by the pool so the wind can't get them....too many to carry back into the garage. And my new little tree cages will blow away for sure so I will need to make sure they are staked down securely. So many little things to worry about....hanging flower baskets, empty pots laying next to the garage etc! Oh well, at least we have been warned to take precautions. Solar pool cover is on so maybe the pool won't be filled with my neighbors leaves! hahaha! Hope you have a great day!

  5. Good morning, sis. It's mostly cloudy here today with the temp only 62F. It will probably rain here, too.

    The blasts are great. Three little girls lollin around...LOL! Canada's north looks much like Minnesota. We are close together.

    You didn't mention any activities today except for you and Lopez walking...guess you don't have anything special going on.

    I don't, either. I have already had a phone doctor's appointment. After the health stuff, we had a great conversation about cats. Hers is 15 years old.

    Otherwise, just the regular...garbage/recycling, check the laundry room, etc.

    I will get offa here and see what the day brings. I'll be back later, as usual {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie

  7. It's Kathy. It's been raining here since some time last night. We had a brief break when I went to Pilates - it was nice to not have to drive in the rain. It's kind of nice to sit here and listen to the rain on the roof! My neighbor was never the nicest person but at one time she called us "the best neighbors ever". In 2020, just after Covid shut us all down, she had been working out in her yard for hours in the heat. In the late afternoon Tom started mowing our lawn and she freaked out when she saw the riding lawn mower - told everyone that he tried to run her over. After that she became very rigid about "her property line" even putting a row of bricks where she has determined the property line is. She has been watching me every time I go outside ever since. It's very uncomfortable. Sunday was the first time she approached me in years. I feel bad for little Daisy, she was so scared. I've decided if she ever starts walking over to me again I'll just get up and walk away! I love the photos today - such a lovely family. And Canada is so beautiful. Have a lovely day.

    3. I was going to say the same thing. She must have dementia or a mental illness. Yes, just proactively stay away from her sounds like your best bet!
