First time in decades I was down the shore. Fireworks all up and down the beach, so all I had to do was sit in my chair and turn my head from left to...

I agree - they look really good!

Very nice, miteigenenhaenden! I keep saying I need to do that, but haven't yet. Your post is a good reminder - thanks!

I agree with taking *a little* for a personal splurge, but then putting the rest towards debt and/or savings. BTW, congrats!!! That must have been a...

I've started watching Midsummer Murders. Very enjoyable.

This is one of the puzzles I "rescued" from the school. Missing 6 pieces, but still doable. What you probably can't see in the picture is that each...

I got a bunch of white ones from work. Free, so I'll take them. LOL. Did, however, get a black one from someone and I do like them. As has been...

Slow watering. The pipe goes down to the second bucket. There is a plastic cup placed through a hole in the first bucket and sits on the bottom of...

Rob - thanks for going and simply being present - it was more than I did, so kudos to you both. Glad you and SO remained safe.

Went grocery shopping yesterday. Now that the Dollar Store is the $1.25 store, one really needs to know their prices. Several things were actually...

Edited to add: The cost of butter was about the same at my Aldi's. Didn't get any, but will need to soon.

In season and price was low in the store and my garden is not producing, so I bought a 5 lb bag of carrots which I will prep and get on the...

Thanks.

Here's a picture. It is two 5 gallon buckets with various holes, etc. I watched my neighbor make three for me. The cucumber seeds I started in the...

I'm loving all these sunset pictures! Thanks so much for sharing.

Just finished my first week of summer hours (4 - 10 hour days). It was nice to roll over and go back to sleep for another hour or two this morning....

Donation pickup was yesterday so the entire donation corner of the house is empty (with the exception of a new empty box to start collecting...

That's a big job to have gotten accomplished, early. Congrats!

They are beautiful!

Let them. And close the borders. And put up a wall. (Being snarky - sorry)

Absolutely beautiful!

Not a fan of Tom Cruise either. And there is always youtube for the Blue Angels and aeronautic feats!!!

I hope your dh heals quickly!

The change in work location, plus the change to earlier summer hours and also considering gas prices, I have walked home from work the last two days....

Good luck! I hope all goes well.

Yes, peas for eating.

I hope I'm not jinxing myself, but these are the peas I started from seeds. There are a couple of flowers starting to show up.

I can also see from this that you definitely have an eye for color! Some of the brush strokes and that beautiful color made me think of irises. Good...

Definitely progress, rr!! They look really nice! Like the two-handled bowl.

Beautiful. Love the color!

I tend to wonder how "bad" it will actually get and what I have left to cut back on? :(

Last day of school was yesterday, Friday. One the teachers gave me two plants her students had grown (she didn't want to take them home. LOL) So,...

What if trump isn’t held accountable? Reading but have avoided posting... until now. LOL. The only thing I can add is that, based on my own...

Again, beautiful pictures, bae. Thanks so much for sharing.

I listened to a podcast about this several years ago. VERY interesting! Might see the movie/documentary, but if it is anything like the podcast,...

Looks like fun, Alan! I'm always amazed at all you do, CL. Thanks for sharing.

Easy pasta in meat sauce. I'm not much of a pasta fan in recent years, but the others will eat it tonight.

I like all the gardening/outside to-do's being accomplished and posted. They are very motivating for me, as I tend to concentrate more on inside...

Halfway through my 2nd week at the elementary school and starting to get in the swing of it. Yes, it's still just cleaning, but there are...

I don't mind texting and like that it keeps me in contact with family - immediate and extended. Since everyone is on different schedules, in...

That is so sad, rr.

I'm also curious. If it is art appreciation, that could always go under Reviews. If it is artistic creations, we have the Our Artistic Endeavors in...

Unwind by Neal Shusterman. This book made quite an impression on me as a potential result of banning abortion and the societal practices that...

Sometimes you just need a break from "things" and it sounds like you have reached that point. So take a break (guilt free!) and I'm guessing you...

Sounds like great progress was made. List of to-do's seems reasonable. Wishing you the best of luck in all the varied endeavors!

Yesterday was the last full day of school, so the cafeteria is no more. Left over yogurt and peach slices free for the taking. I managed four...

I don't see any problem with people gravitating toward others of their tribe. I think the issue is when people make the separate choice to HATE...

Homemade pizza - plain cheese, spinach, and peppers & mushrooms.

Just got some an hour ago... 4.93 for regular.

Thanks! Trying to think if I've ever had them before... I think so, but can't place the dish.

Beautiful!!!

I hate the "thinking of what to have", but - once I've decided on something - I don't mind the prep and clean-up.

Congrats! That's wonderful, Mschrisgo2!

Thanks - I enjoyed that! Nice way to start the day. lol

LOL. At least the mystery of "where" has been solved.

Nice work, IL. I didn't take it as bragging either, but rather as very motivational for me to continue trying to do the same. It's nice hearing...

Again, another good morning of getting through some to-do's! I aired out and then re-rolled and put away the sleeping bags from the camping trip a...

I also googled a bit and couldn't find anything. Interesting. I wonder if it isn't something new that will soon flood the internet vending sites.

That was actually very sweet! And funny. lol

I wonder if the price is the same at my Aldi's. I think I'll make a run over there tomorrow. Thanks!
