As many of you know I am a double amputee.
So I am feeling a little stumped today!?????

You are a brat!?

Good morneynoon, Roommates.

Today is World Relaxation Day!
Almost as good as Lazy Day, I like this one.

Darn, and I missed it again!!!!

I am because I just realized today that Dilly is 11 years old. A vet tech informed me. I guess time flies when you're having fun. I knew he was a senior cat but never did the math. Where did the time go? I should have known because I've had Sapphire 13 years. So it's been an enlightening day.

Happy birthday Dilly.

A long time co-worker of mine was Found shot and killed Friday afternoon (In his Company vehicle in the middle of the day) in what appeared to be some kind of robbery.. I didn’t know him well in spite of all the years that we had worked together (geographic reasons) but he was a very knowledgeable man and had helped me more than a couple times. He could have retired years ago but yet remained in the industry because he was passionate about what he did.. I hurt at the thought of what his family must be feeling... I’m not sure what’s going on in the world today, but I refuse to be a part of the hate... This is not what I want for my children.. That being said, There is a song out on the radio now pertaining to Just this and it really touches me so I thought I would share...

The Central Valley of California is having a heat wave. The power company will be doing rolling electricity shut downs. The temps, starting with today, are: 112,109,110,108,105,105,106,107,104,102,102,101,99 (F)

Our usual daily temps are upper 90's. And to top it off, it's partial cloudy, which means more humidity and the evaporative cooler doesn't work well.

Needless to say, I'm finished working outside for the day. I did 10 laps around the pasture, fed, watered and cleaned up after about 28 tortoises, hand watered about 75 potted plants, trimmed some branches over the walkway. I think I deserve to come in and observe the past two day's observances that I missed, right? What were they now? . . . lazy day and lazier day? yeah that's it! AND CHEESE!!!

You definitely deserve a relaxation and lazy day.

That’s terrible, it sounds like he was a really good person. ?

I could’nt even attest to that honestly... but SO WhAT.... No family should have to go through such a meaningless tragedy. I’m sure he was someone’s child, father, grandfather, brother, friend, etc... It was NoOnes right to end his place in life in that way.. I’m told that even the shirt he was wearing was taken.. so much left unanswered... I’m just angry in general.. I just think the world needs a wake up call and I wish I was big enough to put it out there.. ?

 

[CarolM]

I love that song already and only heard it once. Right now.?

With what's going on you would think they would get it. And not just covid. All of it. So I'm going to do what the song said one way or another.

Happy birthday Dilly.

I'm looking for his belated July birthday present. I haven't found the perfect toy yet. He's a senior and still thinks he's a kid.... whatever...

 

[CarolM]

Goodmorning everyone, hope everyone has a good Monday. Not sure what I will have for breakfast. Maybe some eggs with pepper Jack CHEESE!???

How about some salmon?

 

[CarolM]

Just popped in to say Hi and Bye.

As many of you know, I am a school governor. There has just been a massive UTurn by the government on the public exam outcomes for the students and I need to be off doing governance things. Not see when the dust has settled!

Good luck.

Hi Everyone,
It is quite late and I have just managed to catch up. So I won't be staying long. But thought I would share this for Saturday seen as how it was lazier day. .

 

[CarolM]

Have a good evening everybody.

Why do they always look like they're smiling from ear to ear?
