hi peeps
A beautiful day here in my part of Arizona
Looking like a lazy laid-back kind of day.
Maybe some tunes or maybe some Scooby Doo on Netflix.

Not much going on here. Did venture out for a drink and box of goldfish crackers (exciting ain't it)

I do have cookies today!
In Big Bird we have :snow puffs, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, cinnamon stars and white chocolate pumpkin dreams
In Cookie Monster we have : apple cinnamon whippersnappers, white chocolate pumpkin dreams, tropical angel crunch cookies and ginger snaps
*filling the cookie jars and giving the adorable mascots fresh cold water and treats *
Hope everyone is staying safe and sound

Sarah, I am glad your Mom is at home now. Hopefully, she'll recover quickly.

Larry, I feel your pain. When we get new electronics we have my oldest son come and set everything up. When he comes to visit I usually have a list of things, computer-related I need him to fix. At least he keeps his eye-rolling to a minimum.

My excitement today was going to the ATM to deposit a check. The next most exciting thing was turning on the AC in the house.

I'll have a few cookies and some lemonade.

Cheers!
Well, it's a new day, ladies and gents. Time for fresh coffee and the tea kettle is on, as well.

As you can see I am active here this day so my internet service and WiFi seems to be working fine. The wire out to the fiber optic cable still needs to be buried so the mower has been avoiding it nicely for the time being.

This morning we expect to get two more boxes from UPS and we can hook up the televisions. Actually, from the schematic, it appears that it won't be too difficult for us to figure out. Anyway, fingers crossed for now.

Exciting Larry to get new things. Just hoping "appears that it won't be too difficult..." doesn't cast a black cloud over your house.

Today is hot and super muggy. And I decided this was a good day to work outside on the back porch. I had gotten all my plants for the flower pots and planted them. Then checking them this morning I see where a squirrel (huge scary things) dug up a germanium! So began the outside work. Had some epson salts that is to be used on plants, so read the directions and I'll see if they live or die.

Had windchimes hung on one side of porch with hummingbird feeder and suet cake holders. Last night or early morning? Suet cage and all is missing from the chain. The hummer's water probably needs changing. I have all these friends and neighbors with tonnage of hummingbirds every year, I have only attracted one and now he's left. Another chore for outside.

Sara so pleased about your mother and hope she continues to get stronger. I will have 2 cookies, no...wait, 5 cookies. And iced tea please.
FIVE cookies!!!?? Sweet mother-of-pearl! Ms Elizabeth has done gone and plundered the cooky jars. (scurrrys over to double-check for any remaining crumbs and broken bits -- discovers there's more than plenty of Sara's cookies left sighs in relief, and takes ONLY three for personal consumption, honest) ;)

Now for coffee.

Larry my tech news is almost as good as yours. On Monday, Karl, my VA blind rehab outreach specialist (BROS) will stop by to install and fine-tune my new 'puter. Poor guy told me yesterday that he will, by VA command, show up in full PPE regalia. The neighbors have been warned.

Y'all keep on keeping on.

Howdy peeps
A large sweet tea sounds good.
Today is a beautiful day even if the wind is howling.

My mom is having a good day and her doggie tyson is being a sweet little guard pup. She was up and moving around a bit with Tyson right by her side

It's a quiet day so I plan on catching up on some reading and finishing up the
Scamp Adventure just a few words to tie a bow on it.
Other than that not much is going on today.

I have cookies today :

*fills the cookie jars and leaving a plate of cookies on the counter *
Lots of cookies no fear of cookie bandits!
*giving The adorable mascots fresh water and treats *
Stay safe everyone

It's a great sign that at least some of our present governmental entities are taking the pandemic seriously. For all of our sakes, Bill. So happy that your installer will be wearing the proper gear. Encouraging to say the least, and surely he'll get it all set up for you properly. For us, we have one television actually working and we need to get two more working when we receive the equipment.

Lovely day out and the coffee grounds are working there way into becoming morning brew. Settle in and have some perk up drinks, friends.

howdy folks
The weather is kind of gloomy today here on my little mountain
I'm so ready for new neighbors. The ones I have now are annoying and have no manners.
Dealing with a tummy ache today. A large ginger ale would be fantastic
My mom is doing great and Tyson is doing is job.

Today we have sugar cookies shaped like flip flops and butterflies and ice cream cones and sunglasses

*putting fresh cookies in the cookie jars and putting the old cookies in cookie tins*
*giving the adorable mascots fresh cold water and treats *
Hope everyone is having a great day and staying safe

everyone is good at my house ... it’s nice to pop on every now and then and be encouraged by friends. Hope you’re all staying well and safe in these difficult times ... hugs and prayers 🥰🤗🙏🏻🥰
Good morning, Angel. I've just got the coffee made. Have a cup, or else, have some tea. The tea kettle is hot. I think that there are still plenty of cookies from Sara/DenimAngel. And she just posted a new Sparky and Spanky story.

Lovely weather and good news from so many folks.

hi peeps
A overcast and windy day here on my little mountain
And with the wind blowing its scattering pollen everywhere so I'm stuffed up or sneezing my head off.
Not much going on today it's a good day for Netflix and chill.

Mom is doing great. She supervised the rest of the planting of the garden from her chair on the backporch and Tyson was right there.

Just caught your latest Scamp story, Sara and it's an absolute delight! Glad your mom is improving and Tyson is supervising!

Hope both Bill and Larry get their technological stuff sorted okay. We all depend so much on it!

We're having absolutely glorious weather here at the moment. So nice to get some sunshine as we know it won't last! I'll snag a chocolate covered cherry cookie with my lemon and ginger tea. Thanks, Sara!
We're getting the coffee house set up, Victor and I. I've got the coffee brewing and the teakettle is on.

We've had our morning walk and now it is time to lick paws. At least, that's what Victor is doing. I'm waiting for the coffee to brew.

Let's be careful out there.

Howdy folks
A beautiful day here in my neck of the woods.
Not much going on here today I helped my landlord get out the rent statements and then later I'll help her get her trailer ready for company this week.

My mom is doing great healing slow get back to normal Tyson won't leave her side.
I got to meet the new doggies in the neighborhood .they are super cute and friendly.
Victor is such a smart pup to clean his paws after the walk.

Howdy Folks.
Sarah, I didn't see about your Mum as I haven't dropped in for a while. Sorry she is hurt but so glad she is on the mend.
Hospitals are scary right now what all the shenanigans going on. My son's mother-in-law is a nurse on a Covid ward.

Glad that the rest of you are seeming safe and reasonably well, at least avoiding the dreaded germ!

I will stay just long enough to share a cup of java with you all and maybe pinch one of Sarah's cookies... if I may.

Technology is driving me bonkers. The new internet service went off yesterday. After hours so the technician was not on duty. I had no online capabilities nor any television. I finally went over to McDonald's and sat outside using their free WiFi so I could get to their site to report the outage.

This morning I spoke to the technician (who is not on duty but talked to me) and found that the internet router may have reverted to its original network name and password. Why!!

Anyway, I found that info on the back of the router and now am online.

And the coffee is made. Have a great day, all.

hi peeps
A beautiful day. A large tea would be great
It was a pretty busy day but so much fun.
I went with friend Dodie to run errands and return some RV and boat batteries to Walmart and then we went to lunch and just had a grand time.

I have sugar cookies today shaped like sea creatures. A beach theme for beachy kind of weather.
*filling up the cookie jars *
*giving the adorable critters fresh water and special treats *
I hope everyone is staying safe and sound

Hi peeps
Yikes no coffee.. No tea!
A beautiful day here even if I did waste two hours of my time at the courthouse dealing with a pain in the butt ex and no one can come up with a plan that everyone can agree on.
But anyways a made a fresh pot of tea and figured out the coffee pot so there is both when anyone shows up.
There are sugar cookies in both cookie jars shaped like butterflies and hearts

The critters have fresh water and treats too
Enjoy your evening folks!

Good morning, all. I have the coffee all made and ready to pour, and the hot water is there for the tea drinkers.

I took a quick rest after the heavy work of brewing coffee but I am up and around now.

howdy peeps
A large tea sounds prefect.
It's a beautiful day here even though it's a little to warm. Yay for air conditioning.
It's been a laid back kind of day.

Just catching up on everyone's news here. Glad your mom is improving, Sara (closely supervised by Tyson!) And glad you are back online, Larry.

All is find here. This week the weather has flipped from being hit and sunny to gale force winds, rain and being positively cold! Oh, the joys of an Irish summer!

I'll grab and coffee and a handful of those delicious biscuits, Sara! Hope everyone's having a good day.
Cynthia, so nice to see you today. Sorry the coffee was not fresh but there was hot water to brew some tea and I have the coffee in the percolator now.

It's been rainy most of the night. The ground is saturated. Oh, I got in all of my plants. Now we shall see if they live or die. I told you the yucca I planted in a pot three years ago has a flowering stalk now? It popped out one day this week and will be lovely when it blooms right in front beside the garage. I planted another a year ago in the back garden. If it grows in the same manner I will expect another flowering stalk on it next year.

Cheers, folks.

Nice weather here in Southern Ontario, if a bit too warm and muggy for my taste. Supposed to get cooler, though.

Sorry I'm scarce. So many forums, so little time.

All is well around here. Hope June is going to be an improvement over May, but I'm not seeing much evidence of it except in the weather.

* find a pecan divine left * Perfect to with an afternoon green tea.

Sonja did not have a cat. So why was this one making itself at home in her house?

The metal singer made Brenda an interesting offer, but was her interest in the music ... or him?

Howdy folks
It's a beautiful day here even if it's hotter than Hades. Yuck not going out anymore today I'm hunkered down with my soda and cheezit crackers.

Went out to check the mail and ugh it was too hot.
Hope everyone is staying cool or warm depending on the weather where you are

I do have cookies. Today's offerings are sugar cookies shaped like dessert treats :cupcakes and 2 ice cream cones and Popsicle and ice cream soda
They are diabetic friendly too .

I just read this on someone's Bio page!

'You know it's bad when you check the NASCAR calendar before you make Sunday plans with anyone'

I don't see a problem there at all. Substitute F1 for NASCAR and that would be my Sunday too!.

I wonder who's bio it is...

The new hospital protocols are hard to get used to.

My middle son had been in pain for a while and finally agreed to let me take him to the ER. I was not allowed to go in with him. He's an adult but having him go in alone seemed wrong. Turned out he had appendicitis.

I dropped him off at two-thirty pm and he had surgery at eight and was home by nine-thirty. When he was ready to be picked up they brought him down to our car. He's doing well now. It was a weird day.

Thankfully it happened this week and not two weeks from now. We are going to the Outer Banks, North Carolina for a lovely week at the beach. My oldest son and his wife are going to be there and my middle son and his girlfriend. The youngest was going to come but his girlfriend can not leave Germany at the moment. Thankfully NC has opened its beaches. There is a lot of room on the beach to keep your distance. I have a stack of books to read beachside and board games to annoy my kids.

It's turned hot and humid here, so I'll have a lemonade.

Sarah, thanks for the cookies. I'll have a few and catch up on some reading.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Cheers!
It's nice to catch up, Gill. Things are returning to normal in a small way it would seem. Yes, Anna, I just heard that Nascar is starting racing again soon here at the Kansas City Speedway. That's sound interesting, right, Sara?

My coffee is ready now. I'm just letting it cool before I enjoy it.

howdy folks
A large tea would be great it's so warm outside.
The birdies are chirping and even saw a family of bunnies this morning.

Anna that would be my bio.. Lol
Larry I'm excited for NASCAR to be racing at Kansas City .
They are racing just with limited support staff and no audience.
All the drivers and their teams are wearing masks. Some of them have been pretty cool.
Gill I agree the hostipal protocols are hard when a family member is in pain and you wanna be with them. Hope your son is feeling better and YAY for a week at the beach!
Now if baseball could get their act together I'd be a happy camper in that area too.
I do have cookies today !
In Cookie Monster we have : butterscotch crunch cookies, cappuccino royales, cheery cherry chocolate bar cookies and ginger snaps
In Big Bird we have cheery cherry chocolate cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies,carrot cake cookies and lemon ginger snaps

*filling the cookie jars to the tippy top and then giving the adorable mascots fresh cold water and treats *
Hope everyone is having a great day and staying safe
