A parade of Hotdogs with mustard and relish...melon...chips and dip...hamburgers...ice cream...sweet tea and lemonade...root-beer floats and the occasional bottled Coke.
The end of the Summer Foods!
The Summer Patio garden ready to give way soon to the mums and pumpkins of Fall...my very favorite time of year.
And these...which just arrived on the scene...
A must-try soon.
Lost a friend and neighbor suddenly this week-
I will miss Sue.
A lot.
Her death coming 7 months from Rita's (...who we also lost this year...)
It really didn't sink in fully until they removed all her Colt's stuff and patio plants/bench/table.
It just seems so bare.
I believe her son took Sophie (her chihuahua puppy).
sigh
John's MRI came back clean so soon he meets with the thoracic surgeon and gets a plan of attack.
We have been so lucky...despite the cancer diagnosis because
1. If he had not got pneumonia we would have never known it was there until he was symptomatic.
2. Because they caught it so early it has not spread...at all...any...no lymph involvement...no other organs.
By the end of the year this might al seem like a bad dream.
He has been biking..a lot...along with working out at rehab.
Sent me back a picture of this guy along the trail. Says there are bunnies..everywhere.
Hoping to make it to the trail together the Fall for a walk and Dairy Queen.
Ya gotta have a plan.
The bike.
And after a particularly long ride..
'You're HARDCORE, Guy!!'
So are the scientists, apparently.
They've come up with a synthetic mouse.
Grown entirely from parts around the lab...but no ova or sperm...they have managed to grown a brain..a heart that works and even a basic mouse body/face structure. At this point they cannot get it beyond 14 weeks because of no placenta/food issues.
They are working on building one.
Watching the mess from Mar-a-lago unfold.
Seriously...look at this opulence...
He must be the most miserable rich guy I've ever seen.
After listening to his story evolve concerning the classified documents...and now reading the affidavit...
Yeah...thinking he may end up spending the rest of his life in prison.
ANYWAY...
John and I watched The Chief's last pre-season game together...and they looked good.
Anticipating the Colt's last pre tonight against the Buccaneer's.
We are looking forward to seeing Ryan (our new QB) and dusting off Brady (to see how he looks this year).
Must catch a Miami game as well..now that they have Tyreek and Waddle on the same team.
Still laughing over the Penguins in the endzone!
Have a Great Weekend!
Love,
Carla
Sunday Update:
Leftover cold nachos...breakfast of champions.
Still recovering from last night's Colts-Buccs and Miami-Eagles games.
The pre-game season is over!
Brady is in better shape than he was last year!
....at 45....I think he has an aging portrait in the attic..
Third string Ehlinger was a monster...and Reich should move him into Foles place...but, of course, he won't.
Remember he is the one who gave us Wentz.
sigh
Tua and Tyreek fit together perfectly in Miami...
and absolutely kicked Eagle ass last night.
Sure...I'll miss Hill playing with the Chiefs...but this seems like it is going to work out well.......and Miami is going to be a force to be reckoned with this year!
Now to finish these nachos and start my day!
Still too early.
