Morning thoughts

Hi there, whoever reads this. Work keeps me from posting often, but here I am today. I,ve decided that Wisconsin is a beautiful place to live. There are some rolling hills and fields of corn and hay, potatos, and beans.
The multi green colors of the majestic pines, mix with the dark greens of oaks, and maples, and White Birch trees are a wonder to see. At certain times of the year, there are multitudes of daisy fields, and mustard yellows. As long as I,ve lived here, I still find it beautiful to see. Everyone should take a minute or two to look around the outdoors and fine something beautiful to enjoy...
Irvs back to work today, and I actually miss his presence. This 3 day work week now is a good way to get ready for his complete retirement, when he,s ready.....Who knew????
My golfing is improving, but I still have issues with some par 4 fairways....Got to get a handle on that! Love this game of golf with a passion...Wish we could have started it all sooner in our lives.
Well folks, I have to get busy now. Have a great day.....Late Ta....

Pooped Sunday morning...

Yah, I'm pooped today. Two days of golf and a long boring parade yesterday. I don't think we won't be going next year. To the parade that is. I don't even get goose bumps anymore... PoutyA parade should give you goosebumps, don't you think?
I have to water the garden and all my potted plants today. The grass needs mowing also. I,ve had two days of play and now its work time again.
I talked to Christy last night. It sounds like there having a great time camping. They were eating their fresh caught fish for supper. Fish Well, I.m not quite awake yet so Ill sign off. Have a great day now. Late Ta.. Burger flip

July already..believe it?

Hi all, Its a cool day here, so I'm doing inside things. Adam got all my mowing finished yesterday and thats a load off of me. I pulled a muscle under my rib and that made it tough to do stuff. Thank goodness for my neighbor boy. He makes some money and I get things done.
The garden is coming along great now and soon tomatos will be on the vines and peppers too. Flowers on the potato plants and the beans are growing fast. Ill have to string them up soon as they are pole beans...Diane and Meg gave me a beautiful Dogwood bush for a Bd gift. I have to have Irv dig the hole for me so I can plant it....I,d do it myself if my rib was good...
Dean and Chris and roo are up north camping for the holiday. I always miss them...Hope they have a wonderful time though, and catch lots of fish. Ryan gets the house to himself....Probly doing the happy dance...Well when he gets home from work anyhew....
So..... new eating program for me once more. Cutting calories and staying away from the sweets is the plan. Hope it works this time. I love desserts don't ya know....Just cant have them in the house anymore. Just like with the smoking cessation, I have to get rid of all evidence of fat food,. All reminders of the stuff that is making me fat and uncomfortable. You go suz !!!!! I hope you all are enjoying summer and life is good to you. Late Ta.....

post birthday

Hi. I know its been awhile and I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but I,ve been busy with summer life. Laurie and Jeff are up for my birthday weekend. We went golfing with all the family yesterday. There were a few sprinkles, but all in all it was great fun. My worst score ever, but it wasn't about that. We then went to Hudsons for dinner, and altho the service there sucks, and the food isnt the greatest, it all went okay. Even Ryan was with us....yay!!!!! Back to the house then for a few games Of Sequence, and lots of conversation and antics....We had a birthday cake that Roo made for me. It was delicious... To bed at 11.30, up at 5.30. What the heck is wrong with me?
Today they will come here again before they head home to Illinois once more. We were trying to plan a camping trip for Irvs 70th birthday but its not panning out so far...Darn! Maybe we can solve some issues today.
I have to get in the garden tomorrow and weed and till. Hill up the spuds, and clean out the radishes that went to seed. I want to go see my friend and do some shopping. The grass will need mowing but maybe that can wait. Ill get Adam over to help me again. Wow I'm sleepy. Maybe I should go lay back down again.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Late Ta...

Busy morning

Last night was Roos grad...It was nice and my girl was one of 4 that won an award for excellance in her grades. I am so proud of her....Highschool!!!!! Time will really fly now.
Today I take a friend to the hospital for her knee surgery. Ill stay there until its over unless her family shows. I hope they do...Shes a giving nice person...Then a bit of shopping and home. The rain has stopped for now but its way too wet to do any work outside....I sure hope my garden survives after all that rain....Now we need it to warm up. Man its been cool at night...

Looks like a good weekend coming up and Chris said they might golf friday with us. I LOVE golfing with her. Shes fun and easy going. I need some pitching practice though....Well, just general practice all the way around. hahahahaha.

Im putting down on paper my feelings about life and death. I have unusual ideas of what its all about. When I get it all sorted out I may post it here. You may find it interesting....I find it to be the most sensible idea of all that I have heard.
You have a great day now, Im off to pick up my friend....Late Ta!

Rain?

Yah, we might get some today. Other than that 2 inches last week, we haven't had much. It would be a nice shopping day, or a day of movies and popcorn and laying on the couch. We had a nice 18 holes of golf yesterday so the rest would be nice. Its getting darker out so the rain is on the way....
Roo finally got a cell phone. Chris bought it for her graduation from 8th grade. She always acted like it didn't matter if she had one or not..... We are giving her money. She likes money....I can't believe shes heading for highschool. Slow down life!!!!!
Jack had his stitches out. He said the last ones hurt and he cried...Poor babe. Hope thats his last wound for a long time..
Glor is home from the hospital again. She sounds good and I hope this is it for awhile. Scary stuff that infection.... Have a great day now. Late Ta.

Thursday

Morning all, Its another sunny cool morning, and there may even be a touch of frost on my car. I didnt cover anything so whatever!!!!! Sometimes you just don't give a hoot...I'm not pleased with the fact that the corn and beans are struggling to come thru that ground out there...This may very well be the last year for the garden...
Glors in the hospital again, Same thing but with the added complication of Diverculitis. This is scaring me, I pray she can come thru it once again...
I have yard work to do today, but I think Adam [ the neighbor boy] is coming to help. The weedeating has gotten a bit hard for me by myself. For 30 bucks, I can get 3 hours of yard work done. seems fair to me.... Tomorrow golfing I hope. Dean and Chris might join us for a change. She gets off at noon on Fridays now for the summer. So much to do, so little time...Have a great day now, Late Ta....
