It's been a busy day for many of you, not so for me...what a slug! Went over and fed the grandkats, Max let me pet him! I stroked him for a while and told him what a nice boy he was, and he was fine. Filled the food bowl, and gave them fresh water. He came over and took a nibble, looked at me and scooted! Must have been desperate for a little love, and then realized it was me! Spent the afternoon reading a Michael Connelly book, The Lincoln Lawyer. It was gripping, and I couldn't put it down. Made polish sausage and american fries for dinner, with boiled cabbage and buttered crumbs. Finished the book while I stuffed my face. Still raining off and on, but not thundering/lightening. Hope it's soaking in real good.

Sarv, the company I worked for owned the Edmund Fitzgerald. There was no insurance on the men who worked and went down into Lake Superior on that vessel. I could not believe it. Lost their lives and their families received no compensation. The ship was named after a former president of the company. The Gordon Lightfoot song haunts me still.

Mary, if the alcohol didn't work, I think that stain is there for keeps ...although it may fade if you keep working on it. Some of the inks they make now are new formulas, and old tried and true methods won't work. Isn't is wonderful to enjoy lower temps? It was cooler here today but the humidity is so high, I've kept the house closed up.

Ann, have a wonderful time, and if you can't keep in touch, you'll just have to catch up when you get back and recover from the jet lag. You'll surely be busy seeing the sights, and shopping in Japan. Be sure to take pictures and share them so we can enjoy your vacation. That apartment surely needed a deep cleaning didn't it!

Kooger, good news! No razor blades....and a good spell ahead with no problems. I just made an appt with my Internist, sort of overdue, but my scripts haven't run out so I wasn't in any hurry. She does the whole annual exam, gyn., as well as liver panel, and cholesterol test. And will ask me if I'm still smoking, and I'll ask her if she wants me to lie.

Darius, thanks for the suggestion...I was thinking about dipping them in batter and frying them...! Colorization sounds healthier and less messy. I see those dyed daisies in the supermarket all the time, they really are vivid, but look so unnatural.

My sweet tooth is whispering to me but I don't feel like making anything, so I'll see what kind of ice cream is in the freezer. DH is always good for a bowl We had banana splits the other night. I've been watching old Homicide: Life on the Streets reruns. Good thing I've got a bad memory.

Look at this, leave your chair for a minute, and the squatters move right in!

Saying good night early, and hope to sleep through tonight without sound effects from the weather...
