Good to have you with us again Babs. Yes, some of us know how difficult that decision is, and your have our heartfelt empathy. Even when you know it is the best possible choice, it is hard to relinquish a loved one to less than a family setting. I wanted to bring my stepmom home with me in the worst way, but I knew that it was not a wise choice. It just tears you apart.

Hooray for those of you who have ripe tomatos! I keep checking mine, and have harvested a handful or two of the little sweet plums but it looks like a week or more for a big red one. One of the women I golf with has a bigger problem, she planted one in a pot and now it's threatening to fall over because it's got two huge tomatos on it! Told her she needed to move the pot next to a post or a wall and start supporting the plant from the outside!

Golf was glorious today!! Bright sunshine, a few fluffy clouds, nice breeze, and several one putts, and the best round I've had all year. Golfing the extra day sure makes a difference. Half the game is in your head, and a series of bad games just leads to more bad games. And people sending you puppies.

I have DGS's pellet rifle trained on every delivery person who comes near the door...and if they are carrying a box with holes in it, they are in for big trouble. Plus, they have to cross the moat, with the alligators and the pirhana fish in it.

Mary, I needed that reminder about the electric blanket! I unplugged our under the pad heater when Olivia arrived, because she and Sammi were playing crack the whip with the cords. Now that she's found other things to drag around, and play with, I can probably plug them back in. Sammi has calmed down quite a bit, and sometimes seems a little annoyed that she wants to play and he wants to nap. Even so, he sleeps with one eye open so he'll know when she's about to pounce.

Molly, most people with dentures don't stick them in a cup overnight anymore! I certainly keep mine in place...what if the house caught on fire? I can't waste time looking for my teeth AND a robe, AND four cats...LOL
I put a lot of $$ in my mouth but in the long run, I'd have been better off with a new car, since it all went in the trash when they finally yanked the uppers.

I'm going to try to remember to take my camera to the Morningglory Fair, so you can see some of the extraordinary art work ...I'm always impressed with the creativity and imagination shown in people's work.

I need to go water pots. Windy and sunny, they dry out fast. Later.
