Daily Ooo's: Monday, July 1

[faerywings]

:fear:I cannot believe that it is Monday and :fear::fear::fear:that it is July. Where did June go?
The good news is that I survived the party and aside from some things that need to get back up in the attic, my house is back together. *whispers in order to not jinx myself* This means that I should have a calmer month ahead. *knocks wood*

OTOH, it is not getting off to a calm start. Today I have an appt with the podiatrist at 10 am 45 mins away in one direction and PT at 2.30 in the opposite direction. So I have to leave a little after 9 am, get back here, grab lunch, prep for food shopping and them be off at 1.45 and be back here around 4 pm. 3 hours simply driving to Drs. Remind me again why I love living in the mountains??
I can actually answer that myself. Last night, Scott went on a hike and came back with a bagful of raspberries and pictures of a turtle he saw hanging out in the woods.


Wishing everyone a very happy day and to my Canadian friends whom I wish would adopt me as a fellow Canadian, Happy Canada Day!!! :canada:

Trudy- I don't even want to think how busy Costco must have been. I hope you made it through and that the pantry and freezer are all set for the kids!!! You must be so excited.
Yeah, one time in my life falling through the attic floor is plenty for me. My kids still laugh at me for that and that was a loooong time ago! ound:

Kay- ugh, 99* must have been brutal. I don't know how the people in the EU/France are holding up.
I haven't had a chance to look at the shop or prep for any of the July challenges either. The Mini Os are always so delightful!

Jean- what a big weekend for you!! Congrats on the induction for the ancestors' group. How cool! The head judge position sounds involved and engaging and I bet it was fun for you.
Congrats on smaller clothes. I am wearing smaller clothes too. Short-sleeves that is!!!

Kay- hoping that it cools off a bit. We have lots of sunshine here but the humidity is lower than over the weekend so at least we can breathe.

hugs to all of you!

Hello dears!
Have a lovely funny Canada Day! :canada:artywinearty::clap2::drum:

I hate that hotness, but keep remind myself you want it and need it, so will wait to hear how enjoy it. All my favorite celebrities posted their topless photos (boys and gals too ), so it's sexy and funny, bonus of the Summer I guess. And the Summer nights, oh these gorgeous summer nights! Excited to start new month and the half of year is gone, so better be more responsible! I'll try to make short posts at July as this is crazy lazy days of summer.

Will come back for personals just a little bit later, or tomorrow, I promise!

Good Monday morning everyone! It seems like a Sunday though. DH is home as it is Canada Day :canada: for us and we will be busy today getting the house ready for our In-Laws get together this afternoon. I was up pretty early this morning, just could not sleep anymore, so I may as well get up and do something right? :sleep: hopefully I do not crash and burn before everyone arrives! So I will need to get to the grocery store to pick up some ice cream for our dessert tonight. MIL is bring fresh raspberries from her garden :hungry: I will have mine with whipped cream instead of ice cream though. So another busy day for me. I have already posted that I will be MIA for the rest of the month and well into August. Heather has no idea just when Jonah will fly out to spend a week with all of us and then take her and the boys back home. I am guessing she will be here for a full month at least. It will be so nice to have everyone home again, hopefully the weather is beautiful and we get lots of beach time in!

Chris - So glad that you survived the party and now it should be a bit quieter for you for a while anyway! Too bad that your Gary did not fair well with the heat, but nice to have the help with the dishes that's for sure! Actually Costco was not that busy considering it was the long weekend. Guess everyone got there on Friday to stock up. So it was not a stressful shopping trip at all. That sucks that you will have to spend so much time driving from one appt. to the other! Why can't everything just be in one place?? Oh ya that would be too easy LOL.

Felis - Yikes topless photos?? Why would anyone want those out for the world to see?? How lovely that you are enjoying the beautiful summer evenings, I hope that you get to continue to have nice days! Hope that the month of July is wonderful for you!

Alright I have lots to do to get ready for our Canada Day fun! Hope you all have a wonderful Monday and I will try to get in here again tomorrow to catch up with you all! :wave:

Morning, gals. Finally have time to draw a breath... always busy on the 1st day of the month. Still have a few more LOs to upload today. Feel like I am hopping from place to another!!! Loving all the new challenges that were posted today. Got 1 LO uploaded and another one is ready to go. Whoo-whee!

Yes, the heat is ON... up to 101 yesterday afternoon! The official temp was 99 but it was 101 on my patio and the sensor is in the shade. It was 71 when I woke up so not cooling down... but I did open the house up for an hour. Yes, the A/C was running late last night when I fell asleep. Keep hoping we will get some afternoon showers to help cool things off.

Good news... looks like the large bush [tree?] that was transplanted to the backyard and its leaves were turning brown finally had some new green leaves! So it may make it after all. Have to get out the weed sprayer as have new weeds popping up in the front yard... again... Plus have 3 Wisteria plants starting to grow in the spacer between some of the patio slabs! Tried to pull them out but they are in too tight so will have to spray them then cut them off. Will try to get that done early in the morning as it is already too hot to work outside.

Will try to catch up on personals later on. Have a good day.
