Good morning. My calendar says it's Saturday, but my brain argues for Sunday.

The mum? It's been potted! Yay me. That might be the only thing I get done today. I'm gonna call it a win, though, since it's been waiting since Wednesday.

Kaiser added Publix to the list of stores that accept the KP healthy food card. Yay for that because it's just down the road about two miles and saves having to plow through that huge Walmart store. So...we bopped on over and used up that last $10.10 on fruit and veggies.

And it still feels like Sunday morning.

Not to worry! We have your back if you need bail money.

Thanks!!! We all need a friend who is ready, willing, and able to step in if needed. Remember the old saying.....

A good friend will bail you out of jail. A great friend will be sitting in the cell next to you, saying "dang, that was fun!!!!"
 

It's racing towards 7pm here , sunset is in around 10 minutes.. at 6.47....

My Eastern European neighbours are having a party.. looks like it might be one of the kids' birthdays given the amount of cakes that I saw their families arriving with... and of course the men as always are outside BBQ'ing....so I'm not cooking any dinner yet. because the likelihood is that they'll bring me round some freshly cooked food... .. but very often they'll arrive really late past 9pm with food.. other times it'll be as early as 7.30pm

if they don't there's no harm done I can always cook later...

You flatter me with the book suggestion yet you have more perception than you might realise. At school my understanding of the sciences was abysmal, chances are it's why today's technology goes over my head.
Yet when the subject was English, as in both Literature and Language, I excelled. Fellow pupils struggled with Shakespeare, whilst I so thoroughly enjoyed it, as I did many of our poets. Literature I loved, and language, as in grammar, that too was my talent. Have you seen my handwriting?

You are from Georgia, in my early years I befriended a young lady as friends, and we remained friends for life.
She married a surgeon, he was from Savannah, in your neck of the wood. We have been there many times, although not for some time now. Both my dear friend and he husband have passed away, but their memory is forever.

Your handwriting is beautiful, yet very east to read. How did you get the lines of writing straight?

Hunt recap - woke up extra tired and achy, popped a couple naproxen sodium to ease the low back. I make my way from the truck in the dark using a red lens on my headlamp. Somehow I got disoriented in the burn, (staring at a small red blob of light on the ground might have had something to do w it.)

There is one location on the route where elk have knocked down some barbed wire in the fence. As I approached several began jumping the fence heading towards the river in the blackness. Quickly put them behind me as not to disturb them any further.

The first minutes were quiet until this small started bugling from the bedding area. We bugled back and forth at each other a couple dozen times. He finally came out and showed himself, but was no where near as impressive as his bugles' sounded. So he disappears and a few more elk skate by me in the bedding area. It's beotch to walk in the bedding area so I'm a bit confused about what makes that effort necessary.

I'm looking South and I spot this hunter. 🤡. Yup the same guy that busted up the herd 2 Sundays' ago w 7x7 in the mix did the same thing today.

3 more days to go!

Years of practice, and.............I use an under page guide. It's made up of both horizontal and vertical lines creating small boxes so that each letter is symetrical. Even with the guide it still takes a lot of practice. The italic shaped lettering is achieved using a broad nib that creates thick and thin lines:

The under page ruled boxes, each the size of the letter,
makes the end result perfect every time.
Ahem, hand on heart, I sort of cheat slightly.
When I really want to impress, I write the script out
lightly, in pencil. When I am happy with the end result
I write over the pencilled letters with the italic nib.
Do you want to see another example?

I’m not having a great day. I have Covid for the first time ever. My husband brought it home 5 days ago and now we are all infected.
So far, it feels like a bad cold. I’ve only had it for a day. I will be starting Paxlovid tonight and it scares me a little. Has anyone here taken it?

Sorry I missed this. Wishing you and your husband well and a speedy recovery. How wretched that Covid is.

I took it. I had no problems with it. It was experimental at the time and there was no info on crushing it. I couldn't swallow it cuz they were too big. I crushed them and I'm still here to talk about it. LOL!
 
Morning all, on my early walk at 6:50 temp was 67 sun was rising as I walked around building once before breakfast
This morning I'll be walking to my church for our 10:30 service, such a beautiful sunny morning. My close friend Marcia who usually picks me &my neighbor Bill up won;t be going. She & hubby Dave are going to a friend who is doing her last sermon at a church south of Buffalo
The rest of my day having brunch at noon with Bill & 2 other church members catch up with them since I don;t see them much during the week,talk with my brother, read local paper. I may take afternoon stroll
Tonight on PBS watch' the season finale of 'The Marlow Murder Club' at 9pm, really like this show, well written
Enjoy your day every one
 
Good Sunday morning, to all. It is sunny now and is a little cooler. Looks like the storm in the Atlantic, might be Imelda, is moving away from the US, so that is good.

Doing some laundry and then looking online for some shoes for my husband. He has problems with his feet, so will take some time to find some new ones. At least he can return them if they don't fit.

Have a good day and I hope all of you are well. :)
