Have to go soon to the monthly genealogy group at the senior center. Seems to be another lovely day, but storms coming tonight and then much colder! Chris, it is unbelievable that companies can't ever get things right like the pump supplies. Hope J is OK and the bill not too large. Good...

Another gorgeous day here and warm. Yesterday we got to 89, a new record for the date but thankfully the house is cool. I've even done some scrapping! Maybe we'll get out a bit this afternoon. Also need some groceries. Chris, wish you could share this weather that's just right for you. Seems...

I've skipped way ahead to do the latest week and put it in one of the monthly challenges, but here is week 40.

No sun yesterday but today is lovely. I didn't do any of the things I'm supposed to have done over the weekend, so better get to them. Did the bills while DH was at Hum & Strum. Chris, well, some things improved I guess with the wiring for internet better now, but bummer with the wi-fi for...

Soggy here too, the air just heavy with moisture. We'll mostly watch football today and I'm making a chicken dinner with mushrooms and artichoke hearts. My time and energy seem to get consumed in genealogy things and am not getting any more scrapping done after the rainy day one. Chris, I too...

It is so gray today that perhaps I feel the same. Yesterday was a nice day with a long lunch with a friend and bird club last night. I'm hoping to get in a little birding if it's not raining this afternoon. The silky dogwood is reblooming which I only just noticed this morning. That makes me...

Just a quickie as we're leaving soon to meet someone for lunch. I'm so pleased that Trudy's rainy day challenge led to my actually scrapping a page for the first time in over a month. So happy for the good news about Gary's pump and B's new hospital plan. Wishing you all a great day!

We were off early this morning to be volunteers at another session of the DNA class a friend has given. This one the students seemed a little better prepared and that was nice. Such a lot to cover and things keep changing in how it is presented at Ancestry. When we got home a doe with two pretty...

We've been in Oklahoma visiting DH's brother. The two-day drive home got us here yesterday and it was wonderful to sleep in our own bed again. It is sunny but cool today with both cooler and warmer days ahead. Feels like it will take a while to get back to the usual. I'm thinking of you all...

I'm getting ready for the weekend when on Saturday I'm responsible for a user group and the afternoon talk at my usual computer genealogy group and then Sunday a talk at a different group that involves an area wide project that I need to work on too. Plus my friend has a new draft of her article...

Rae, we crossed posted! That's different. Hope the plan comes soon and will actually help B. Great you are sticking to your guns about being retired.

Much cooler today which I like. Chris, we'll keep a good thought for your weather next week! Trudy, the hike sounds lovely and hope you scrap it quick to remember it when you have so much waiting to scrap. Here's hoping the x-ray shows it isn't something serious. So sorry to hear about the...

Sunny but hot here with schools closed for the heat again. We have bird club meeting this evening and will go out to dinner after, so will have some hours of A/C. Yesterday was nice with the lunch board meeting. Chris, maybe Leah was just overwhelmed with the affection? I'm sure it was rough...

We're off shortly for the computer genealogy group lunch and board meeting across town. It is a lovely day though will get hot. Last night we went out to dinner as we've found a local place that stays open on holidays. As we left it poured briefly and brought down the temps. Chris, another...

I'm happy that DH saw a hummingbird in the yard this morning. It visited the coral honeysuckle that has a little bloom again plus the trumpet creeper. It's another hot day but we have no plans at the moment. Chris, holding out hope that the weather will be good for your get-away. Hope you go to...

Mouth is still partly puffy and sore, so don't know what's up with that. I can eat so that isn't a problem. We watched the first half of the Ohio State football game but they haven't started the second half due to a rain delay. I don't believe we're supposed to get any rain, so it was a surprise...

Yesterday I had the tooth out and didn't feel chatty. Today is better and I was treated while eating breakfast to a visit by a young Cooper's Hawk sitting just outside the window on top of our pyracantha. It was looking for the house sparrows probably hiding inside the bush. It kept looking...
