What's on your agenda for today?

Jackie, have you got that yard cleaned up yet?

Did anybody notice that Ameriscot didn't offer to share her soup? That's okay. It's not soup weather here anyway.

If Pappy left on schedule, maybe he'll land at his Florida digs today sometime.

I'm off again today but think that everything that needed to be done was finished up yesterday. I'll have to dream up something to keep myself out of trouble today.

Oops. I'll gladly share my soup. It's delicious! :D Having a cup of it with my lunch.

This morning I did my lower body workout (abs, planks, lunges, squats, etc) - not a gym day. Otherwise, a quiet day.
 
Been out for my coffee and cake; warm apple strudel today, very nice!

Sunshine and showers, so I have hung the washing out, and there are caterpillars everywhere, so more nasturtium pulling I feel....
 

Ameriscot, it's too early for soup. I haven't even bothered with breakfast yet!

Oops. Viv, I must have been typing while you were posting. I've had my coffee, but please pass the strudel. Nasturtiums...a flower I'd forgotten about. They were among my mother's favorite flowers. I haven't seen them down here in the South; it might be that they don't grow in our hot climate.

Och, well the soup might be all gone by the time you're ready for some!

Good Morning, Georgia, yes, yard is clean, one more time.......yesterday I discovered my washing machine drain was clogged up so the plumbers came out and found tree roots blocking the drain so they will be back today to reroute the line...always something...such fun down on the farm..
 
Why it is that when the plumbing gets stopped up it never turns out to be that there's any money in the pipes. Well...except for the plumber, of course.

Sorry Jackie for the plumbing headaches. .. I thought I had a similar problem, with needing to get main lines fixed..
I was hearing water running and watching water meter take off ... had an outdoor faucet leaking, toilet leaking, etc. Had all kinds of horrible thoughts running through my head.

Finally sucked it up and called a plumbing contractor .. it turned out it wasn't Major as far as repairs go, no lines to deal with this time .. but very Major (to me) in payments for repairs. ..even with "senior discount" .. Yikes!

(.. wondering if I'm too old for plumbing school classes ... a lot of money to be made in those trades)
 
Bonnie, happy is the family that has children who have gone into trades...plumbers, electricians, auto mechanics. It's probably an ideal time for you to sign up...most tax-supported colleges/vocational schools let people over 65 take classes for free. You pay for books/lab fees. Are you 65 yet?

And just curious: I know that Tejas is a big state. I used to live in El Paso. However, do you and Jackie live close enough to ever get together? Heck, we used to drive to Dallas on Friday night after work to shop on Saturday, then back to El Paso on Sunday afternoon. It's a bit more than 600 miles and took 7 1/2-8 hours back in the day when we could drive 80-85 mph. Legally.

Good golly! .. driving through Texas from city to city seems like a lifetime!! .. from Houston to Dallas, maybe 250 miles ?? .. I haven't been to the Dallas area in maybe 10 years. So, no, we aren't in each other's neighborhood or area.
I know the trip from El Paso to Beaumont is one major road trip .. UNDERSTATEMENT.

Anyhoo, I'm 71 Georgia, with really no plans for any further educating myself. .. all talk, no action. What can I say ... lol
Do have electrical contractor in the family ..SIL... happy for that, but he lives out of town and has a very busy schedule, so bothering him on weekends for free service really doesn't appeal to me.

Tell him if he is near Cocoa Beach to drop in for a cuppa.......something.
 
Good morning, kids. Surely we'll hear from Pappy today if he's not too busy basking in Florida sunshine.

Off to work with me after two days off. I don't feel like it, but we do what we gotta do.
 
Off to play bowls in a minute; then out to eat tonight.
sun is shining, so I will hang the washing out first..then tomorrow is a quiet day, to catch up on a few jobs, yawn, yawn.
 
Went to the gym this morning and had a good, long, sweaty workout. I do my dumbbells routine at home so will do that after my lunch is digested. Otherwise, not much on the agenda except some laundry and maybe a bit more research on our upcoming Thailand trip.
 
Nothing much on my agenda for the day. Because I had two days off this week, whatever there was to do indoors has been done. I'll put what's left of my mind to it and think of something.
 
Did my lower body workout. Going to friends' house for dinner and have told them I will be not be drinking wine as I'm determined to lose the rest of the weight before our trip in less than 2 months. The husband doesn't believe I can go the whole evening without drinking some wine. I will prove him wrong.
 
Plan on working in garage, wiring for door openers & some patching & painting. Seems my list is a living, growing thing!:)
 
Good grief...I guess I've been MIA for a couple of days. It's been a busy few days, and this old cleaning fairy is tired. I really need to retire. All in favor say "aye".
 
I am sitting waiting for an electrician who promised faithfully he'd be here between 8 and 1...he isn't here and it is now 1 o'clock...

The sun is shining..the sea is blue..and everyone is walking about in T-shirts..

Grrrrr......:mad:
 
Good Morning, Twixie and everyone, I understand the waiting on repairmen....I've been dealing with a plumber now for a week...$430 later, I can now do the laundry that has built up to about 4 loads....so that is my day.

... and mother's tell their sons to be doctors and lawyers, huh? ... Go into the trades kids, if you want a good living.

I had a plumber out last week, and with my senior discount, I paid $376 for maybe 50 minutes of work ... he plugged a water line, changed out an outdoor faucet and stopped a leaking toilet.
But I'm grateful, the water meter is now under control. It was starting to scare me!
