I consider cookbooks in a class of their own. I have several treasured ones and I’ve made all kinds of notes in them about substitutions or don’t try this one again 😂 or whatever. I also have a couple binders that have recipes I’ve printed off or cut out of a magazine in the early days.

My daughter wants them all when I’m gone. She wants to make sure she knows how to make some of the family’s favorite dishes,especially as she saw me struggle for her whole life to emulate some of my own mother’s recipes.

I've got all my tried-and-true recipes on my computer (plus back up drives) and printed out in a huge binder. My kids and their friends have requested a number of recipes over the years so it's helped a lot to have them on my computer.
 

Starting out the day with no plans other than morning cleaning chores.
And what am i doing the rest of the day......looking like a big fat 0, so far, i'll keep going with that......have been doing some thinking but not counting as very much.
Spending time here......that's a good thing.

Not being smug or anything :ROFLMAO: but the fridge and the freezer compartment are both clean. Clean, I tell you. There was nothing dead in there and not even anything that was expired. I thought it over very well and very carefully, but for some reason, when I opened the door to get started it was not half done. What?
 
Today is a wet day...rain rain, go away....My daughter called and is coming here with her husband...He needs to use some of my hubbys tools...

She is bringing dinner....How nice is that!!! She always bring's something....It will be dinner..... They do live an hour away....I appreciate
for our kids....They are always here for us.....
 
Almost 1:30 here. Walked the dogs on their 2 mile walk this morning, then did some posting here, then went for a 20 mile bike ride with the wifey, after that mowed the lawn and now I'm sitting here having a mimosa and posting here again. This afternoon we'll be meeting my son and his girlfriend (who we haven't met yet) at the local university for a social distancing picnic. Not sure what we'll do later this afternoon and evening, but I'm willing to bet I'll be posting here again.
 
On-line church services this morning.

Then later today we'll continue going through the thousands of 35mm slides my parents left when they passed, separating the trivial many from the precious few. The plan is to make collections of the best of the best, run them through a slide scanner, then burn them to DVDs for distribution to other family members.

I bought the slide scanner about five years ago but have been putting off the task and haven't yet unpacked it . . . hope it works. ;)
 
This morning I woke up at 6:30,temp was 60,wore my Vermont sweatshirt on my early morning walk around 6:45 to buy some milk .When I returned,watered the plants/flowers in our community garden,walked up 3 flights of stairs to my apt

This morning,I'll be telling the members about 2 programs we used to have on a weekly basis in an area that wasn't being used.The programs will either be by zoom or phone,I'll give them the dates,phone# to call. They all appreciate the phone call every Mon. A couple months ago,I couldn't call on Mon because I had a dentist appt.When I called Tues,a few were worried something had happened to me,which I thought was sweet
I'll go for a mid morning walk after talking on the phone with them.The rest of my day,read the NYT while having lunch, take an afternoon walk or sit in our community garden with other residents depending on how I feel. After dinner,tackle the NYT daily crossword puzzle
 
Can't believe how fast the time has gone today..almost 2pm already!!

It's sunny but a little bit of chill in the air so today I've got a thin sweatshirt on for the first time since before Lockdown back in March

I've managed to get a little corner of the hedge cut in the garden that had become overgrown in the last few weeks.. the washing and drying are half way through now... I washed the kitchen and livingroom windows cuz I can keep my back straight while doing them, no twisting...

Checked up on my daughter.. another huge..even bigger than the last one, WildFire, is burning a few miles from her, fortunately the wind is taking it in the opposite direction, there are 330 ground personnel , 22 fire-trucks, 18 Helicopters, 157 military personnel, and 50 Firefighters fighting this battle.. :cry:.. but those poor people losing their homes, businesses and everything, when they've already suffered as a country, one of the worst Covid-19 pandemics in the world..
 
@moviequeen1, I love the name of your group, "Canopy of Neighbors." You all obviously care about each other and look forward to the checking-in.

Yesterday morning, it was in the mid-60s. When we took the cover off the pool it steamed like a spa/Jacuzzi! The solar cover has been keeping it at a perfect 88-91 degrees, even with nights that drop into the 60s.

It was sheer heaven to swim in that glorious warmth for 45 minutes or so before breakfast. (Daytime temps are low to mid 90s.)

My day? Well, DH & I are nearly completely retired from our small business - we retained about 25%. We did some work last week so after breakfast I'll be invoicing and catching up on paperwork/spreadsheets.
 
Our neighbors had called us yesterday, frantic for someone to let their two dogs (one an old Irish Wolfhound and the other a "mostly German Shephard" puppy) in for the night and then to let them out this morning so we just came back from doing that...the puppy followed us home so hope he goes back to the acreage next door by the time they get back this afternoon. Their chickens were still running around in their yard and didn't follow us back home, though. LOL.

Drinking our coffee now and then going to take one of the cars (SUV) over to the mechanic shop, close by, to fix the back door window, whose latch had broke. Drives hub nuts when we drive over a gravel road...he's already got a lot going on in his head anyway, doesn't need any more banging around up there between his ears...lol.

Then its watering the plants time and jumping in the pool. Reading, relaxing and deciding what to have for dinner,.. hmmm, can't decide right now. Any suggestions?

Have a good one, you guys!
