Kaylee's Grandma Rose Day...The Aging App...and Ending The Week with Morels

Yes...John...

You definitely get The Guy of the Year Award!

Heard a knock at the door yesterday and OMG...FRESH morels (shipped in from Washington State) in JULY!!!!
And John!

Who even knew they were still available? 
(...and today I am in a tiny morel coma...with lots more left...)

Plus a Wonderful Visit...Hagen Daz Ice Cream Rootbeer Floats.

Hugs and Kisses.

Oh, and Sofi having another go at beating you up!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...you're back for round two!"

Crazy cabbit.

Started this week with Kaylee and I, enjoying our Grandma Rose Day for the summer.

DQ and brunch and a chocolate caramel sundae.

Discussing her birthday concert

Dirty Heads

Where she literally got front and center...and even was handed the set list when the band finished!!!  She had such an exciting evening and it was just so great listening to her go on about it and watching her face.

Discuss our favorite DH songs together.

Her's:  Moon Tower

Mine:  All I Need

Plundered the Shoe Sensation where she found the BEST hippie-type Tye Dye Vans. And checked out our newest local store Gordmans (which neither of us has been to before). And proclaimed it AWESOME!

"They have EVERYTHING!"

Reasonably priced, too.

A friend of mine commented recently about his grandchildren growing up...and how they reminded him of how old he really is...

IDK...I feel very different about it.

Mine keep me young, I think. 
In heart and spirit, if not necessarily physically.

After James picked Kaylee up they managed a bit of fishing at Cataract Falls together.

and caught a monster catfish!

Which they lugged all the way up to the top...filleted it...and brought to me!

Thanks, guys!!!

It was incredible...and enough to share with Diane and Brenda, too!


Early this week, John and I, met with "Andy" (...one of The Shelburn Bank Gang of our younger years...) who was in town, and had a several hour chat and brunch at Almost Home...which was nice.

(...even if I may be barred from the establishment now...)

Joking, of course, because our waitress was quick witted and gave as good as she got...and was a lot of fun.

(...together, we do tend to be pretty exasperating for waitstaff...but we tip well to compensate for it...)

My boys found the Face (...aging...) App.

                                                              Chris

                                                               James


  So I thought...what the hell....I'll give it a try!

~laughing~

Well Played...Face App...Well Played. 

The puppies are getting their personalities now.
Hoping to see them soon before they are all grown up!

and 'tis the season for kitties to wander up unannounced...and Emma (Tina's niece) just got a new one.

"And I will hug it and pet it, and name it Daisy..."

Daisy...Marshmallow..Mustard and Crowley.


 The mid-year Car Porn has started...and the rest of them are going to have to work pretty hard to beat THIS...

The NEWEST Chevy Corvette.

Sexy....Sexy

It has gone way past "buttmuggy" (Idgy's Word) and straight into Hinges of Hell this week across the Midwest. Looking forward to the cool air and even some rain early next week. This week, whatever I pay for electricity is NOT too much...and Air Con is our best friend.

My Patio Garden has went from this:

to this:

I am cooking with fresh herbs everyday, now!


And After a long political chat/rantfest/vent with Lennon (...who also realizes how unhinged and dangerous this guy is...) after the disgusting display in North Carolina, I now realize that Trump (and his Administration...and brain-dead followers) are making me sick.

No...not like just disgusted, ashamed, angry and ranting...

Physically Ill.

Thursday after the debacle, and a really restless night's sleep, and bad dreams

(...which I seldom to never have...)

I was plagued with GI disturbances, for the ENTIRE day.



The stress of subjecting myself to the horrifying might as well been a Third Reich Rally.

It was beyond everything he has done to this point...and that is saying A LOT.

The most disturbing thing about the whole thing is how easily the fevored crowd slipped into the

"Send Her Back"

chant.

Referring to a Congresswoman who was legally elected by 75% of her state. A Naturalized US Citizen.

Until the following day even members of the GOP were telling him it was too much...and in true Trump fashion...he walked it back...a little. 

"I didn't chant it personally"

"I disavow those who did" (...yeah after pausing to bask in it...and way to throw your supporters under the bus...they're too stupid to realize it, anyway...)

" But it was QUITE the chant, don't you think."
(...he actually fucking said this...right after the disavowing)

and by Friday he was back to praising the rally-goers in NC...calling them

"Fine People"

"Outstanding Patriots"

One might almost think there is an Election coming up.

Just saying!

(...hint: If you chant SEND HER BACK to am American Citizen...Naturalized or Otherwise...you are certainly NOT an "outstanding patriot"...Are we clear???)
