1.Making my usual breakfast of oatmeal, I reached for the cinnamon...picked up the crushed red pepper by mistake, and sprinkled it on! yuck...rather than dump it, I picked out the pepper and put in the cinnamon...missed some of the pepper....interesting! Now what does this mean? overload? perhaps..distracted? ah..more like it!
2.tomorrow Bob goes for surgery on his knee, torn meniscus...the other knee was done 10 yrs ago..at least it is fixable
3.had the dgds for a sleepover last week...dgd,4, says her sister,2, never stops talking..even in her sleep..its true..during the night we heard dgd,2, MEOW! just like she does when she calls our cat!
4.ds and family are on vacation in DC...dgd,4, called me as they were on their way to the zoo..I swear, that girl could be a reporter!!
5. some of you may remember my post in Jan about my FABULOUS NEW SLIPPERS!..well, I wore them out!! ordered new ones yesterday...they will be here TODAY!! free shipping was upgraded to overnight air no extra charge!
6. starting line things up for our week at the shore in Aug...
7. our lawn is growing...but it is STRIPED!!!..went from dirt and rocks, to looking "painted green" from hydro seeding...came in looking weak and anemic..so we fertilized it..missed spots...hence STRIPES...I went over them but no big change yet...and STILL have rocks..every day I go out and pick out 2-3 buckets of rocks..my new hobby..LOL
8. but the new house is looking good
9. making an effort to enjoy the nice days of summer, even if it is just reading a book on the deck..so far this summer:"Double Negative", "Final Theory", "the Bone Vault",The book of Air and Shadows"...each good in their own way
10. getting ready for dgd,2, birthday party this weekend
so there it is!
hope this finds you all well

How is the turtle situation?Would be neat to watch them hatch and move in droves to the pond.
My son use to go out in the row boat to the far corner of our big pond.Spend hours catching red bellied painted turtles.All sizes at turtle heaven!That's what he named the area.
so far..no baby turtles
maybe in Aug

Good to hear the surgery is over and the patient home. One of my children would sleep standing up. She didn't want to miss anything and fussed about going to bed. Another insisted on going to bed when tired, no matter what was happening.
The oatmeal condiment sounds intrigueing. Don't think I'll try it though. Even if they say hot pepper is a stomach cancer preventative.
Glad to hear everything is moving along. Enjoy the party and your new slippers.
sleep standing up...LOL..what a kid! I had one who also would sleep if needed , no matter what, still does!
I like my hot pepper..just not in oatmeal!..good to know it does some good
giving the patient apricots today..they help tissue heal..oddly I craved them after my surgeries in 2005 and 2006!
wishing you a good day

well, let me tell you: it will wake you up! LOL
yes, wore those slippers everyday for 6 mo! wore them right out! apparently being retired your wardrobe expenses go down and your slipper expenses up!
seriously..we try the "not wearing outside shoes in the house"
recovery for patient: full recovery will take months but he is already up and moving..last time he was off 4 days before returning to work
both dgds love our cat..but their enthusiasm often scares him off!
have a great day
