35 cents for my new prescription. Yup, a quarter and a dime. I can't remember ever having one that cheap before.

Thanks BB for explaining why your pulmonologist wanted your bone density test results. Now it makes sense. Was that your guess, K2? Loving all the pictures of food and other things.

KC, your picture finally filled in for me what your stone walkway looks like. Looks good. I never pictured it in between the 2 house like that. Glad you didn't hurt anything with all that lifting. (As we age it's amazing how many "normal" aches & pains we wake up with.)

Good going on getting signed up for that Disney run. Now just hope by that time the U.S. border will finally be open. Got a kick out of that "Fat Bastard" wine. Is it any good?

K2; A two person team to furnish your new priest's place. So much for long meetings of unagreeable church members. Careful with that low blood pressure or you might be getting faint and dizzy. And I don't think you'll hit the ground very gracefully. As far as that "Havana" thing you mentioned; It may not be a virus or disease but possible microwave energy aimed at U.S. embassy personnel, making them sick.

I finally finished up this one area of weeding yesterday morning, after only about 45 minutes. Good thing, because I wouldn't have lasted much longer out there in the sun and humidity. Some schools around here were closed yesterday because of the heat.

Today seems to be another day of staying mostly inside. This heat and humidity is suppose to last through the weekend.

YUP Dave has it right! Going to be another hot snd humid day. Last nights thunder/lightening storm will add to the extreme humidity.

Hope to go for a car ride today to get out of the house. 1st stop the grain elevator store to get Finch Seed.
You all stay nice and cool.
Be back later.

BP normal range this morning!

Good morning, fellow rabbits! Another hot day in paradise. And to think we will still be getting the same weather into October. I love the hot weather!

Tomorrow isn't supposed to be very nice, so we want to take advantage of it today. The whole gang will be here for dinner Friday night for Bert's birthday. I'm going to make another one of those family favorites, tortellini in a cheesy cream sauce with ham, peas and mushrooms. I will try to take a picture of it before they start devouring it.

Kathie - Keep cool up your way today. We had rain and thunder move in on us last night also. We were supposed to sit outside and watch one of those painting classes on the TV, but due to the rain, it never happened. Too bad because Jimmy's cousin had paid for it already for us to see this. So now we've got all these canvases and paints with nothing to do with them. Might have to pay for another class one of these days.
That prednisone Art was on is the regular way it's taken, reducing the amount every 4 days. The one pill I take each day is to help regulate my breathing by making my lungs stronger.
You trying to tell your new priest that he needs to practice birth control? Give the guy a break!

Dave - What kind of meds did you get that only cost 35 cents? That's a real bargain! Almost as good as the one BP pill I get at Publix that is free. Good that you weren't weeding too long yesterday. Too hot to be doing that kind of stuff in hot weather. I try to tell that to Bert, but, as usual, he doesn't listen to what I say. Grrrr

Lee -Smart move not taking the dogs for a walk when it's that hot. Sure sign of a person who loves their animals. I see people during the heat of the day walking their dogs on the sidewalk and get so mad. I even hollered at Jimmy for doing that last weekend when he walked the dogs all the way to the dog park. Yesterday he took them to the dog park again, but drove there instead.

Karen - Your stone job looks great. I hope your neighbor likes it too. Glad you weren't all aches and pains either from all that lugging of those bags. Now enjoy going swimming and your visit with Wendy.

Time to get off here, grab something for lunch and then head for Sam's and possibly BJ's. Tonight I'm making something different for dinner - Sausage stuffed zucchini. Looks and sounds so good. I'll let you know if it's a keeper or not after we have it. It should make Missy happy as it's low carb too.

Have a super hump day, everyone. Stay safe and enjoy your day! :)

We sure did get some rain last evening, through the night and around 6:00 this morning. Lots of lightening too. Much to our old Bear’s chagrin.
We did get out to The Navy Yard for our walk. A lot of friends were out early as well.
We like Fat Bastard Dave. Sadly with wine prices here we find ourselves sometimes shopping by price! FB was one of the less expensive selections at $13.00, I think, per bottle. Yep, in this heat 45 minutes was likely a good length of time to be outside.
Wow Kathie. Where do I apply to be an assistant priest in your parish? You folks sure do treat your clergy well. Seriously now, do they get a car and / or a car allowance too?
Wendy gets an “atta girl” button for wearing a hat in the sun! Good for her Karen!
Seems like Bert has a birthday every year Pat. 39 again? It’s not just pet owners who are showing poor judgment during this heat. We’ve been ragging on friends who insist on playing pickle ball outdoors. For three hours each day from 9 - 12. :angry: He even passed out from the heat walking along The Irlo Bronson a couple of years back. No hat, no water, no common sense. Then and now.
Not much else to bore you with today. I have (cardiac) rehab tomorrow. The girls that facilitate the sessions knew I wanted to register for The Run this past Tuesday so they switched my day. I think they all get a kick out of me in my tutu and dressed like Mickey.
You all behave!

Another scorcher day here today...luckily while we were in the pool this afternoon we had some cloud cover....sometimes when it's so sunny & we are in there I feel like I'm the lobster in a New England Seafood boil...
Had a nice time visiting with Wendy....but it's kind of sad because we can really tell the past few years have really been rough on her and she is starting to "wander" a little bit...she will start talking about something and then just kind of lose her train of thought and just stop...she'll be 87 yrs old in Nov. so I guess it's sort of to be expected...
Still no rain here to speak of...it rained lightly last night...but barely enough to get the grass wet....all the sun today has got me sleepy so I think it will be an early night for me....catch up with all of you in the morning

We went for our ride out past Jills township to Oxford, MI. I wanted to go to a little shop on Main Street that has all kinds of things for the home. I saw it on Facebook and it turned out to be really cute. I ended up doing something I HARDLY EVER DO..... I bought a purse (not expensive) after only looking at it for 5 mins. That's unheard of for me. One I'm not a shopper and two it takes me forever to buy something for myself on a snap decision. I'll try and post the picture of it from my cell phone later. For some reason my pictures aren't hooked up to transfer to this laptop computer. Gotta look into that one day.

Then we drove back to Jill's little town and told her we were at the BEAN COFFEE SHOP. She was able to meet up with us and pointed out a restaurant that we could grab a light lunch at. Went back and got the yummy coffee and then headed home.
We did stop at the Peach Orchard and bought a 2qt carton of YUMMY PEACHES. You just have to buy them while in season. They disappear so fast.

Once home I get a phone call from our dear church President. She wanted to know if I was on board with buying stuff for the new priest's leased home. I said I would take care of the Kitchen and Bathroom with a friend from church that I know. We will go next Tuesday and buy all the things on a list I printed off from the computer. Dara has a 4-car garage and said we could put all the pkg's in one corner. YIPPEE. Works for me.


LEE: YES........we treat our priest WAY TOO good. He gets life & health insurance a cell phone allowance, gas allowance, a salary and a paid home to live in. He might not LIKE THE SIZE of this VERY SMALL house, but it's free with utilities included so he can't complain. If he doesn't like it he is more than welcome to go and "purchase" his own home.

We will be buying EVERYTHING you need in a new home. Crazy. He speaks with a Serbian accent and like all the crazy Serbian Priests I know is OPIONINATED! :rolleyes: He use to serve in Nashville, TN parish until he had to go back to Serbia because his lawyer didn't file the necessary papers for a permanent Green Card. So they went back and then re-applies and LUCKY FOR HIM he got another Visa. He lived in a small house with his brother and the brothers family for 10 months. So the LEASED home, as small as it is, should be fine.
He has a VAN. I sure hope we don't have to buy or lease another vehicle for him.

I could go on and on, but I don't want to bore you with these crazy church stories.

Karen: Thanks for posting the picture of WENDY in the pool. She had a nice smile on her face. I'm sure she was happy to be cooling off. You girls are so nice to invite her to join in with you.

Lee: Did you wear your SPECIAL Cardiac T-Shirt?? Anybody say anything?
Sorry you got the rain last night too. It was something else.

Pat: WOW.... I must try and remember to wish Bert a Happy Birthday tomorrow. He'll have a full house to help celebrate. How fun. Doesn't he get one of those special ICE CREAM CAKES?


I just went outside a few minutes ago and HOLY MOLEY it's like a BLAST FURNACE outside. Humidity must be 200%

Out of here.......you all have a fine Thursday.

Here’s some pictures from today. Note the Water Fall that comes from Lake Orion. So cool in person.
By the way that purse has to be the biggest purse I have bought in years! I just loved the color so much I figure I can get use to the size. It looks bigger in this picture!

It's Friday-Eve Bunnies!

Sounds like heat was a common factor for all of us yesterday.

Lots of doom & gloom on the news this morning. It even could get sporty on the 31st when all our military is suppose to be out of Afghanistan. I'm just hoping that shooting doesn't start then, or even before then. It was nothing but a civil war before we got there, and once we're gone it'll go right back into a civil war.

When will we ever learn to stay out of places like that?

I haven't got anything planned for the day. Just winging it. May just bring up another movie.

Ya'll be good. Take care of yourselves, eat well, and have a little fun.

Good MORNING Wrabbits!

It's going to be HOT again, but it beats the COLD of WINTER any day. Just jack up the A/C!

I have nothing for you folks this morning.


Enjoy the day and be safe and be glad we're not standing in sewage up to our waist waiting to get inside the airport in Iraq. That was a horrible scene shown on TV last night.
God help those poor people.


Later...........

Just a quick post for right now. It's almost time to head for the pulmonologist and to hopefully, find out what my bone density is and if I can continue to take the low dose prednisone.

I'll be back later ....

Good morning!

Pat, hope the Dr. visit goes well & he is able to keep you on the Predsione....it would be a shame to stop it since it's helping...guess you have to decide between breathing or a broken hip...God Love our medical system....:(
Please wish Bert a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY from me!

Dave, Eat well & have fun? NOW that is some advice I can really get behind!! Oatmeal, toast & jelly & coffee for breakfast...now I just have to figure out the fun part....not sure any one would agree that laying down 5 pieces of sod before 10 am is fun....especially since I need 3 more pieces...I should have listened to the lady at the sod place...but the area just didn't look that big...oh well...the project continues...

Kathie, sounds like a fun outing for you & Art yesterday...and getting to meet up with Jill a real bonus! Love all your pic's!
So what happened to all the stuff the priest & his family had BEFORE they moved to your area? They just walk off & leave dishes, towels, sheets & everything behind? Explain please...confused mind needs to know....


Lee, hope the rehab girls aren't to all a twitter over your mickey mouse tutu....wait till they see you in your tiara!
Yep...we made Wendy wear Barb's hat while she was in the pool...she had forgotten to bring one...Barb mostly staying in the shade under the umbrella....we tried to get Wendy to wear a t shirt in the water to because she isn't used to being in the sun like that...but she said she was ok...

Nothing much going on here today....I got up early to prep the area for sod & then got it put down around 9:30....it had rained a few times during the night so the ground was nice & moist for a change...they are calling for more rain later today...it probably will because I was planning on going to the pool later this afternoon...o well...we shall see...now I think I am going to get a head start on tomorrow's house cleaning & do the bathrooms today...then maybe some reading time on the back porch....later gang!

Have a fantastic Birthday Bert. Hope the family treats you like a KING today.

Karen asked:

The church this family is coming from had a Parish Home for them on the church property and everything in it stays there. If they have personal things they accumulated while there that would of course be theirs to take. But since this family had to go BACK to SERBIA to RE-apply for a Visa they basically are coming with nothing but their clothes. From what I know the "lawyer" screwed up and didn't file the proper paperwork for a GREEN CARD. So, they had to leave last year and go stay with family until new applications could be processed. They are VERY LUCKY TO HAVE GOTTEN A NEW VISA AS QUICK AS THEY DID.
Being a priest is not a easy calling. That being said.........they are in their 30's and
amazingly opinionated! We'll see how things progress! :oops:
Our current full time priest owns his own home and everything in it! He's getting ready to retire and just can't handle a huge parish like ours on a full time basis. Hope this helps explain things a little.

Bummer on having to go back and get more sod. Maybe a Friday project since it's HOT by now.

Back from the doctor's office. It all went well. He got the results of the bone density scan and said that there is some thinness, but not to the osteoporosis stage. I'm staying on prednisone for like 2 more months and then we'll see. I go back to see this doctor in 3 months.

He also gave me a referral to a new PCP. I was seeing only a physician's assistant and all she ever did was dispense more meds and give referrals for other procedures within their huge group. They send you to their own place for many tests and no one there ever speaks English. Then they send you to one of their specialists. In the time I went to that office (7 years), I went through 4 different doctors. No one stays. I'm glad to have this referral to a doctor who is in the Advent Health group and is located right at Celebration Hospital where all my records are!

Kathie - Great pictures. The flowers look beautiful. They don't do well here in Florida unless you water them every day. I tried a number of times in Ocala, but even in the shade they would be lying on the ground every morning. That's for explaining about the new priest. He's definitely got a good deal all around.

By the way, today is NOT Bert's birthday. It is tomorrow. That's why the gang is coming for dinner. And yes, there will be a Carvel ice cream cake!

Karen - Sorry you ran short on sod. Bet you could kick yourself for not listening to that lady at the sod place. Nice picture of Wendy. She has a pretty smile. Glad she had that hat on. Should get a bit of relief from the heat today. It may not even hit 90! Almost a fall day in Florida, except for the humidity.

Dave - Even more doom & gloom news out of Afghanistan today with that suicide bombing right outside the airport and killing Americans & Afghans. Haven't gotten to read too many details about it yet.

Lee - You are so lucky to have that nice park to take walks in with your babies. This was definitely a good move for you, Lu-Ann and your dogs. How's your heart rate after a walk like that? Do you have a pulse/ox or can you get that information on your watch like so many others can today?

Just got finished with lunch and need to go to Publix for some of the last stuff I need for dinner tomorrow, but we can't go yet. We're waiting for a delivery from UPS of the last of the wine I ordered a couple of weeks ago. The email I got said that it would be delivered between 11:45 and 3:45.

Our dinner last night of baked stuffed zucchini was delicious. Everyone loved it and said I will have to make it again. It's a bit messy to fill the zucchini, but it was worth it to get to the finished product. I actually made 4 zucchini instead of the 3 the recipe called for and holy have half on one left. I am sure that will either go tonight or Missy will take it to work tomorrow.

Heard from our daughter up in Ocala this morning. School is barely back in session, and her son got a letter to stay home as a student in his class had tested positive. Got a phone call the next day that another student tested positive and that her son should stay home for 2 additional days. This is going to be a very l-o-n-g year at this rate. Thanks to our a-hole governor who will not put in a mask mandate, this is going to happen all year long!:mad: They don't call him DeSatan :emoticon 0130 devil:for nothing. He really is trying to kill off Floridians, especially the good guys. The repubs love him and want him to be elected president, God help us. We have the highest number of daily deaths EVER from Covid right now, and what is he doing? Making daily appearances in repub areas toting that drug that gets given thru an IV once you test positive. It all just makes me so damn mad!! There goes my BP again for sure!!

Bert & I are going to the Grille for dinner tonight. Our boarders are on their own for dinner. Got a few things to do around here, so I better close this post. Enjoy the rest of your afternoon, dear friends. Stay safe and don't forget to wear your mask.:)

Went back to the sod place & got 3 more pieces to finish up the area in front of the "alley"....the lady laughed when I told her I should have listened to her this morning...luckily it's just a couple miles down the road from me....started sprinkling rain as I was loading it in the truck...made it home & got the 3 pieces down before the rain made it here...didn't get much so I may need to go out & water it tonite after all....

Time for me to check out for the evening. We are getting ready to head for the Grille and by the time we get home, I will be ready to crash for the night. Wine finally arrived!! Bert has to take the kids to school in the morning, so it will be an early day for us to get up which means I might get one here before the approach of the noon hour.

Have a good, safe evening, everyone! :hug: :)

Still hot here.

Sad day for our brave Marines. I just wish we could have gotten out of that horrible country without and deaths. I fear there might be more.
We stayed in Iraq 19 yrs too long.

Say a prayer the families of those who perished last night.

Night all.
