Good afternoon kitchen dwellers

Time for a little afternoon snack...thinking some chocolate chip cookies warm from the oven...and a refill on the coffee, too.

I managed a little bit of a sleep in today, then off to the store with my son to turn in some old games and look at new. Then I got ambitious...and spent an hour and a bit mowing the front and back lawns. Looks much better out there but I'm tired, sweaty and sporting a lovely pair of blisters on my hands. Ouch.

Missing my sweetie ...Scoote's off adventuring with her son today too, and I'm here counting the hours. Luckily, I'll be and there on Friday for and

Have a good day everyone...I need to go find a couple bandaids!

OMG Jo why don't you get a landscaper?? Its pretty reasonable unless you have a lot of lawn to cover. I only have a tiny backyard and front yard man I don't do thing. I 'm Jewish princess and yes Jake made it to the temple just got home from a lunch and learn, which is lunch then we learn about some prophets Isaiah and Ezekial!! Don't ask me what I learned because the whole thing was too confusing for me. But I had a good lunch hummus and everything I could eat that hummus stuff everyday if I lived in Israel. Well my afternoon consists of me walking the dogs and then just watching some TV got up so damn early I'm lucky if I stay awake past 8 PM tonight. see you later need coffee where is that damn avatar when you need it?

Nods. I make precious and semi-precious stone jewelery. Right now I focus on bracelets.. however, I want to add necklaces and earrings to My list. I do sell it and have a "store" on Etsy. I will PM you with a link to it. Right now I only have a few listed and I just made some this past week and need to take photos of them and load them on the site. I also do special orders.. and have done some for members of this site and BFD.

Thank you for asking. smiles.

Good Afternoon Jake,

I am enjoying every minute with the kids.

How is your weekend going so far? Me, I am getting no closer to finishing this family tree. I was able to track my great grandparents back to Holland on my father's side and my mom's side is just as crazy...

Have fun today,

Zimmy

Good Afternoon Zimmy,

smiles. I am glad you are enjoying the family time. That is wonderful in regards to your working on your ancestry. When My Dad was alive that was his passion.. to trace our roots ... it is amazing the things that you find out.

I am having a wonderful weekend.. so far... ..except the weather is being crazy.. it is hot and humid.. and now we have storms moving it. However, they are doing nothing to cool the temps down.. so the a/c will remain on. laughs.

I hope you have fun today as well.

Wow its almost time for dinner but I'm just not hungry tonight. Too much for lunch maybe I should eat light and have a salad instead ponders?? Any suggestions anyone??

Well I'm not sure it's light, but I'm craving Cobb salad...crisp romaine lettuce, chunks of chicken, crsip bacon (I'll leave it off yours Lips), hard-boiled egg, diced tomato, diced avocado....mmmmmm. So good!

Crazy weather here too Jake...was hot and sunny this morning so I got the mowing done (thank goodness)...and not two hours ago the rain came pouring down again. I'm so glad I got it done early. I'd love to have a landscaper, but it isn't in the budget. I actually don't mind mowing...although I'm not a big fan of weeding.

My son (and the dogs) are off to his father's house, so it's just me and the kitties. Suddenly the house gets very quiet....but the dog hair situation is crazy. With the warm weather coming the animals are all shedding, and vacuuming is a daily event. I'm really hoping the bank accepts our offer...the house has a fenced back yard so that even the kitties can go outdoors. They'll love it...and so will I

Hope everyone's enjoying their Saturday. It's a bummer that your date got delayed Lips, but better than getting sick. We want an update next week!

Hey Zimmy, any word from Chrisbutch? It's so hard to deal with a loss of someone you're close to. Been thinking about him and hoping he's okay. If you talk, will you let him know?

Hope Musicman is doing alright too...I know he's been busy, busy.

Freyja...I had to smile this morning...you managed to play one of Scoote's favorite songs.

baby...

Good Morning Jake,

It is a lot of fun. I found a picture of my great grandmother on my mom's side of the family yesterday. I called my mom and told her about it and I posted it on FaceBook and asked my mom who she looked like. After a few minutes of trying to figure out who in the family looked like her, she was like, it is your Aunt Linda. The picture is from 1920 when she was 16 years old. My dad who raised me from the time I was a 4 months old until his death when I was 28 years old, his family is hard to find, since most of them were born in the mountains of Alabama and Kentucky.

Have fun today!

Good Morning Zimmy,

That is just sweet. I love the old photographs. When My maternal grandparents passed My Mom inherited all of the photos they had. They are really nice to look at. When we see pictures of My Gram when she was young.. we can all see a resemblance to her.. from My Mom right down to Myself and My siblings. I am glad you are learning of your ancestry. I think it is an endeavor we should all take on at some point in our lives. I am sure it is hard to trace family if they lived mostly in a rural area. Keep at it though, I look forward to hearing what else you find.

Peaceful Sunday to you.. and be safe in what you do.

As Always,
Jake
