To-day is Wednesday, July 15th-- still dark out--Lopez and I are up and at-er here--It was 79 in the bedroom last night-- I had turned off the AC-- opened the windows up, up there-(-kinda crazy of me-)-I had a fan on, but I think it was just moving the hot air around--So, the AC is once again, chugging away and it is now around 77 up there--I will love it when this hot air , over us, moves on----
Words I wish I had written--
#1.Remember to say please.
#2.A day lost is never found.
#3.Develop and maintain a capacity to forgive.
#4.Even an old body can have a young mind.
#5. Happiness should be a part of love.
Blasts from the past--
Ava's Birthday--below--
So, I hope to-day you will all be happy--Remember, everyday is a clean slate. Men and women may be different from each other, but their souls can still be combined to form one. Love always eases pain--
So, get off of here--get on with your day, and , tell someone you love them--Oh--I nearly forgot--BIG HUGS TO YOU ALL__Especially to your Children.

DeleteMorning Lynda,
ReplyDeleteAnother hot one here today as well. Luckily, I have plenty to do inside and don't need to be outside for long.
I got a lot of good things at the Farmer's Market yesterday. I got some tomatoes, beets, ( which I love cooked with butter and pepper). Hubby says beets taste like dirt and won't eat them. That's ok, more for me.
I also got some salted rye bread, a lemon blueberry bread and brown butter salted chocolate chip cookies. They are all made with sourdough. So Good!
Happy Hump Day! Stay cool!
Hugs,
Jackie
Hi Jackie--sourdough bread is very good--I bet the beets were good too--pickled??-- Ln da
Deleteand it Is very "yellow" ouTSide--the smoke in the air-- is bad--Lynda
DeleteYes, LOL, like your husband, I just can't get on board with beets. Nor turnips, sweet potatoes, eggplant, cabbage, or artichokes.

Good morning, sis. It was 93F yesterday, and it will be that again today. Too hot for everyone other than motorcycle riders.
ReplyDeleteLove the blasts! Especially the one of your 4 boys! Seeing them together is great...the old one of your family...the kids paddling, Ava's 12th birthday...and Fred, of course.
I have already told my Lucky that I love him. I do that alot! Soon I need to leave for the place that's gonna fix my car.
I taught my kids the 'magic words': please, thank you, excuse me and I love you.
Back later, Lynda. Have yourself a fantastic day! {{{HUGS}}} Love Maggie

DeleteHi Lynda, I too like the photo of your dad arm in arm with his mom and grandma. The others are special as well. The heat has become insufferable for so many of us. I hope there is relief soon. Did the groomer take care of Lopez? Sending hugs and wishes that you have an awesome day.

It's Kathy. It's another hot day here today. The A/C has been running since I turned it on this morning. I'm back from my Pilates Reformer class, it went well today - no additional pain. My grandsons are coming about 1 pm while my daughter goes to a doctor appointment. Tom is here and will help with them. They are a handful. Hope you're having a good day. Love the photo of your dad with his mom and grandmom! Take care.

DeleteGood afternoon, Lynda! It is HOT in Ohio! It is 93 but feels even hotter. Oh goodness, it was 79 upstairs without your air on. Sounds awful. I see Dr. Fred riding on his bike. Great pic of him! Your grandchildren must miss gathering at your lake house. We had a wonderful day at the lake with my son and family. The kids fished, swam and played on the playground. They slept all the way back to their home. I hope your house is cooler now. Enjoy your afternoon. Big hugs!
ReplyDeleteYes--much cooler with that AC on--What on earth was I thinking eh??--turning it off on a very hot night--LOL--Lynda
DeleteExtEMELY hot here also--not normal in this area--Lynda

DeleteGood evening Lynda,
ReplyDeleteIt has been a while since I got on your website. It's summer and I have been busy. Just today Dan & I ordered another new mattress. Hopefully that will be the last in our lifetime. Dan & I got up around 3:30 this morning and could not sleep. He is really aching; our old bed is only 3 years old and just went to "hell". It cost us $2,000. for the mattress so it wasn't cheap! We have been busy w/the garden and trying to keep the yard up. We are trying to find a painter to paint the house. It is hard to find good help. It is just too much for us to tackle.
Our blueberries are going crazy. This is the first year that we have picked more berries than the birds have eaten. I froze over 5# and I kept some out for our cereal in the morning.
I am still trying to lose the last 10#. I was doing so well until Sparkpeople broke up. I am on Peopleonehealth and there are people there from Canada
I miss reading your blogs every day and but I think of you often.
Stay well my friend. Luv Bev
Bev--Is it really yu??--So nice to hear from yu!!--Oh I hope we can keep in touch--=Fred and I have a King bed--which is much too big for just me--but--what the heck eh--My Fred has passed on--now in Heaven-I miss him so so much--Im living in town now, in a town house close to the 3 boyS here in town--I still go out to the lake everyday--miss the lake--LOL--I HOPE THAT WE CAN keep in touch--so nice yu wsrtote me--Lynda
