Should I call the turtle army ?
G’day all.
Ok... Shed Painting project completed yesterday. By the end of the day we realized it was 96F...and that’s
why it felt so hot painting !
This morning....I popped out of bed early and went for a 2.5 hour kayaking “sprint” on a reservoir near here..lots of swimming turtles, Blue Herons... and peace n solitude.. Now it’s Time to do some grocery shopping...and settle in for England vs Croatia.
Very Calm at 0630

I wish I could remember my dreams. Almost every morning I wake up with an old song in my head and it stays there most of the day, driving me crazy, over and over. Today's song is "Wonderful Guy" from South Pacific.

. . . over and over, "I'm as corny as Kansas in August. . ." and on and on!
@TODD - I hope your father gets well and is able to come home soon!
@CarolM : We share a birthday month!
I hope this is a very special day for you!!!
Two years ago was my peach tree's first great fruit year. I didn't catch them in time and most of them fell rotting to the ground. Last year I swore to pay better attention to the tree, but same thing happened. So THIS year, I went out there first of every week to inspect the fruit. And two days ago I was able to pick a whole dish pan-full of peaches. There are still many, many more left on the tree, but who likes picking fruit (rhetorical). I washed them then set the dishpan on my washing machine. This a.m. I woke up to a pretty 'ripe fruit' smell in my house. And instead of rotting on the ground, this year they're rotting on my washing machine!. I guess I'm not meant to have fresh peaches. I'm just going to dump the dishpan in my box turtle enclosures. The turtles are too small for me to have to worry about them choking on the pits.
I'm getting an earlier start on my day today. Gonna' go read the rest of the Forum, then get outside before it gets too hot!

Thanks everybody. He's had a lot of health problems the past few years, but he recently finished chemotherapy and the cancer was gone. So we figured he was winning the battle. A few weeks ago though I realized something was not quite right with him, and within the past week he fell a couple times which is not like him. Now they think he may of had a small stroke but they haven't quite determined yet as of yesterday. I don't think he's going to be able to live by himself anymore. I have room to move him in with me but I not going to be able to be here all the time to watch and help him. So me and my brother might have some decisions to make. Fingers crossed they may be able to do some rehabilitation to get his coordination back to normal possibly.
How old is your father, Todd ?
I hope the rehabilitation will help him to get back his coordination in walking. Maybe he should use a walker even in the house. My 90 year old father do and the walker gives him more security.
He's 64, and is the typical man. Doesn't think he needs help from anyone, and already told me he doesn't think he needs rehab. In fact he refused to stop working thru out his chemotherapy.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAROL!!!!!!!!! 
Oh, that sounds difficult when he wants no help and refuses help. I hope he is not to stubborn.
Thanks Bee, me too. I already told him yesterday at this point he needs to do what they tell him. I think he's understanding that now.Oh, that sounds difficult when he wants no help and refuses help. I hope he is not to stubborn.
What a cute face!

Thank you Yvonne. No wonder you are an awesome person. [emoji6] . Nice song. Although I don't think as gay as a daisy has the same meaning today. Shame on the peaches. Couldn't you use over ripe peaches to make a chukney or jam?I wish I could remember my dreams.
