What's on your agenda for today?

Sounds cozy Dennis, We too are getting the rain and also wind. This rain is like a dream to us! :) Hubby and his 2 little dogs are in the recliner and I see he let the big dog come in even though it has a nice dog house on our front porch. I don't like it on the carpet but I guess I'll pretend like I don't notice it's in here. I'm making corn bread to go with some chili I made yesterday. Hope we get to stay home all day but not sure yet.

If you do go out, keep in mind that a lot of oils have been accumulating on the roads – slippery. Highway 25 has just been resurfaced; so that shouldn't be a problem on that road – don't know how far south they went.
I agree with your husband – dogs are people too, you know ….
 
It's finally raining and is. supposed to continue throughout the week. I may just spend the week looking at the rain. It's been sooooo long.
 

That's us Lon, just looking at the rain. We've already got some rain puddles out there. :)

Dennis my husband was saying the same thing about the oils on the road. I don't know where Hwy 25 is, we live off Hwy 180. I just hope there are no mud slides. I don't think it would affect our house but it could the roads getting in and out of here.

For some reason, I thought of you living near the Pinnacles, or by Biterwater. Anyway, the three of us: Lon, you and I can enjoy the same rain storm - we sure do need it.
 
It's morning again. This happens every day at the same time. It's raining again, too, so unless I think of something to do, it'll be another day of sitting on my dead center...which, by the way, is very tiring!

How does my cat still have any fur left? There's as much to vacuum up today as there was before I started yesterday so he should be bald. This time I'm going to write myself a note to dust before I vacuum.
 
GeorgiaXplant, when I clean my daughter's house I always tell my husband "I'm so glad you and I agree on not having in-door cats". But her dog is a pug and he gets light tan hair, along with the 2 cats hair, on their BROWN corduroy sectional and the only way to get it off is with a damp wash cloth and it takes quite awhile. I asked her why she didn't buy a leather couch and she said the cats claws would ruin it like they did a little settee she has in the dining room. So I told her she should get them declawed and she doesn't think that is right either. I am thinking about buying some sort of a hand held dust buster and see if it'll suck up the animal hair. Sorry to complain, I understand if you really love your pets you don't mind all the work. I'm sure if Seth and Minnie Mouse shed, I'd clean up after them. :)

Lots of rain yesterday and last night. :) There are large rocks on the roads now (according to our local Facebook group) but we'll all be careful and drive slow. Dennis, we are by Kings Canyon and Sequoia parks. When I say central Calif. it's central in more ways than one. :)

Today I have to go into the city and rent a navy blue bow tie for my "best man" grandson. Young guys, yeah they wait till a few days before the wedding to find out what they are suppose to wear. My husband was sold the wrong size car parts for part of the brakes on the car so we have to go exchange them. We have to go to the water machine in town and fill several 3 gallon bottles of water for the house. We pay 20 cents a gallon and use it for coffee, cooking and watering animals. We drink bottled water. Our well is salt water and iron and who knows what, but it works for showering and washing cloths.

I hope everyone has a nice day today.
 
Early flight to Atlanta for the day and return tonight. Looks like rain on the way down and in the Atlanta area today. I don't seem to get a break anymore with the weather, except it was nice in Myrtle Beach last week.

Been to the gym and grocery shopping. Trying to get things off my list of things to do in preparation for trip. Wrote a letter to my gym manager to give me a membership payment break while we are gone. Made a list of codes for passwords that I might forget for sites I don't use frequently - nobody could ever figure out my codes!
 
How long before you go away, Annie?

I was meant to be collecting grandson from school as per usual today but his mum has just phoned to say she has taken an afternoon off work so she'll get him. Therefore, I'll probably just chill out and read/watch tele.

We'll go into Glasgow on Nov 29th but our flight is Nov 30th. :cool: Back home March 1st.
 
I'll mainly be cleaning house today and getting ready to leave Friday morning for the wedding on Sat. My husband is going to stay behind to get my brother out of the rehab hospital on Fri and then take care of him for awhile. He had one hip replaced and then has 2 bad knees and a bad rotor cup in one shoulder so he's going to need help. I hope everyone at the wedding understands why grandpa didn't go. Our grandson's other grandpa will be there though.

It's about 200 miles north of here but we may have fog so it could be a slow trip. I'll ride up with our son from LA and his wife. I decided to leave my laptop home and since I don't have a smart phone I'll be having internet withdrawals. :) Hope I don't take someone down and take their phone from them for awhile. :)
 
Linda! You'd do that? You'd snatch away somebody's phone for a fix? Tsk, tsk. Heck, I remember back in the olden days when we had a 12-party line and if we got lucky enough to find it free, a voice come on the line asking "number, please?" And news was printed in an actual paper that was delivered in the afternoon after about 4. In other words, people were safe at weddings! LOL

Well, my place did get dusted yesterday. However, when I got all done, the spirit didn't move me to vacuum so there's still kitty fur to contend with. I'm pretending not to see it.

This morning was all filled up with going to the dentist, getting the oil changed in my car, going to the doc's office to get my ears flushed (I can hear you now!) and going to Aldi to get a turkey breast at $1.39/lb...Honeysuckle White and probably as low a price as we'll see this year. It's resting comfortably in my freezer awaiting it's big day. They also had cranberries at $1.69/lb, not cheap but who knows how much they'll be this year? Walmart wants $1.99/lb and another supermarket here wants $2.49/lb so I decided maybe it was best to get some today. Gotta have my brandied cranberries with that turkey breast, right?

For two days now I've been threatening to make a peanut butter cheesecake with chocolate ganache. That might actually happen tomorrow. (A job well thought over is half done!)

Oldman, the weather is crappy in Atlanta (but warmish) and expected to stay that way for a while. We may see some sun Sunday afternoon if you'd like to pop over again then. It seems that El Nino is already here because this is the weather we expected this winter.

Ameriscot, did you get back to fetch your international license yet?

Radish, a big thumbs up for a day off and nice weather to boot.

Pam, I've spent the past two days sitting on my dead center...so much so that it was starting to get sore...but you go ahead and enjoy your afternoon "off":)

I wonder how Hollydolly and her back are doing in the sunshine? Maybe she'll find a wifi spot somewhere and speak to us of shoes and ships and sealing wax and vacations in sunny Spain.
 
Georgia, the int'l driving licence is a quick trip to the post office, so we'll get that done when we go into the city for the night for hubby's birthday in 2 weeks. It's needed in certain countries but is only good for one year, so we need another. Just requires a licence and passport and form.
 
Got back from Seattle last night. Had a wonderful birthday and Halloween (2 wild parties and a Zombie dance) and a great time spoiling the babies. Dropped the Spousal Equivalent off at the airport this morning to go visit his mother and now I have SIX WHOLE DAYS to myself!!! What to do? What to do?
 
Jujube, love when dh goes off for a few days to visit a daughter. I watch films he doesn't like or read or have breakfast for dinner which he'd never do.

Glad you enjoyed your birthday.
 
Wow, jujube...two wild parties and a Zombie dance. My suggestion for the next six days (and nights) is to rest up! LOL

It seems that today is really going to be peanut butter cheesecake day. All the cold ingredients are already out of the fridge and un-colding.

As has been the rule for way too long, it's rainy again:(
 
Been to the gym, picked up a few items for our trip. About to get away from this computer and do my muscle workout. Daughter and her friend won't be coming back until Friday afternoon. Giving hubby a break from cooking tomorrow and I'm going to make homemade veggie (Quorn) spaghetti.

Update: Great flight yesterday and last night. A few bumps and some rain, but nothing eventful this trip.
 
Heading off to the nearby library now. Local man giving a talk about his newly released, fictional (adventure) book based on his experiences in Iraq and Kuwait. Coffee and biscuits will be served too....:coffeelaugh:
 
Ameriscot, the 29th will be here before you know it. :)

Georgia, If I grabbed someone's smart phone I probably wouldn't know how to use it, so they are all safe. :) The only reason I don't have my own is I want something that'll get me 911 if I need it and cell phones just don't always work up here where I live. We pay $86 a month for the house phone and I'd hate to add another 80 or 90 on top of that each month.

Jujube, welcome back from Seattle. I love it up there, it's a great place to visit.

I like Annie's idea of breakfast for dinner. We do that sometimes here too. And you can make waffles at night and toss in a handful of chopped ham and a bit of whole kernel corn and it makes it seem like more of an evening meal. :)

I am still getting ready to leave for the wedding and still getting side tracked right and left. I have trouble staying focused. And now I'm going to go in and look under my bed for a box with some nice black Guess boots in it. I know nothing about this and my daughter asked me in an email a few minutes ago if I'd been wearing them and maybe I'd want to wear them on the way to the wedding. What??? I have no idea. She said she gave me a pair that were too tight on the calves of her legs. Must have been this summer when it was 110* and I didn't have my mind on winter boots. I'm wearing black pants to the wedding so maybe I can wear boots too. Hope they fit me. :)
