I read Catherine Coulter myself.  I do watch which book in her FBI series she puts out.  I do not like the ones with the Brit. I think she has another author work with her on that section.  I do like Dillon and Sherlock though.

My book is out for delivery.  I am getting excited.

Linda sorry for your loss.  

Boy Katy seems like a lifetime ago when that song came out.  Made it through another 4th.  We had showers off and on through out the day but it quit by evening.  Even though most of the closest neighbors shot off all their fireworks Sat night there still were a lot last night a little farther away. We didn't do anything special just ran some errands.  

Hot and humid here too.

Hubby has the day off so I think we are going for a walk later. It's glorious here! 80 degrees, sunny and no humidity. I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts. I'm sure it won't be lasting too much longer.

didnt do anything for the 4th. Just played board games with friends.

Good Morning.

What a beautiful day here today.  Chance of rain down to 20%, so the humidity has let up some.

I have the Sear guys coming to do the yearly on my washer and dryer.  We are seriously considering a new fridge.  Ours is 26 years old and like us just about making it.  We are still trying to decide if we want to buy a new one or renew the contract on the old one.

Today I put the afghan together, then I will do the edging. 

So I just wanted to drop in and say Hi!

Mary Jo can't believe you have had your washer and dryer for a year already.  Sounds like its time for a new fridge.  Its a pain when they quit and you have to get one asap.  I know from experience.

The heat and humidity is back.

Good Morning.

Thought I would drop in before I start the border on the afghan.  I put a picture of the layout on the thread.  I spent all day yesterday sewing it together.

First a trip to the store, then I will sit down and start the border.

I have 2 packages I am waiting for, then I will send it all out.

You will see a picture before It goes out.

Hello everyone. I've been at my daughter's house since the 4th helping with the baby but I finally made it home this afternoon for a couple of days and then I'll be off again. I'm feeling a little tired so I plan to sit and crochet in between loads of laundry. I hope everyone is having a great day.

I feel your pain on those 3 and 4 day work weeks.  By virtue of his days off dh is supposed to work one 4 day week and then one 5 day week but with days off and holidays the 5 day one never happens and 4 day ones are becoming more rare.  Getting you ready for retirement says he.

Ha the last year Tampa Guy worked, he only worked on Wed and Thurs.  He took all his vacations and personal holidays off for the rest of the day.  Then that January he got more.  By the time he finished and retired it turned out he only worked about maybe 2 weeks.

They are so funny when it comes to retirement.

Ok, I am now going to post the finished afghan.  I still am waiting for 2 packages, before it can be sent, and they both should be here next week.  I thought you might like to see the finished product.

Good Morning,

Mary Jo, the afghan is beautiful.

I call summer breaks my practice retirement. I only need 5 more years to have my 30 for retirement from the school system, but I will still need to work since I won't be eligible for full social security for a few years after that, and my pension won't be enough to survive on. So today's practice retirement plans include finishing the laundry, crocheting, maybe a trip to the office supply store for printer ink and maybe a nap :lol

Have a great day everyone!
