Can you believe it is August already. Won't be long and Fall will be here.

This is a busy month for those who are canning and freezing their own produce. Beans and berries are ready for picking. Cucumbers are just starting. At least where I live. LOL Those further south have been busy for awhile already.

School will soon be starting. So time to get school shopping done also.

You all have a good month.

Bar Bar there is a type of sandal that is foot doctor recommended but they are thongs is you can wear them. The brand is Orthoheel. They have an extremely good arch and I really recommend them eventhough they are pricey. I got mine with a coupon from the shoe store.

Me Too (just subbing) will be back to post later on am off to the Drs., just for a checkup to see how the meds she has me on are working. I feel alot better but one of them makes you gain weight, and I haveput on 6 lbs so I dont like that aspect of it.

Good afternoon all, well Steven now has a "Fire Belly" Frog it is pretty green with black dots on top and red with black dots on bottom. This is to earn Boy Scout Badge or pin or whatever they call it. Now of course I have to go across and see the set up. He had me take a pix of Frog in the container they brought him home in and lol also with it sitting on couch with Panda. Panda is such a good dog she never even sniffed at container.
I wanted to go out on porch but already toooo humid out there for Panda & I.
Just washed my hair with the special shampoo Derma DR ordered now sitting here with puter and also clipping coupons.

Happy August to everyone.

Sharon do you really thing your son is ready to go back to work?

Patti take it easy inside with this terrible humidy.

I have a busy month. Our old son will be 29 yrs old on the 8th. I sent him a box on Saturday to Afghanstain. I know he won't get it in time. I haven't talked to him in a few weeks.

Our younger son will be 23 yrs old on the 5th.

Both girls will be heading to college the weekend of the 26th. One will be moving into a dorm and the other into an apartment.

Bye the end of August it will just be dh, myself and the animals. Wow!!!

Happy August everyone! It's very hot out and today is to be our coolest day this week. They are also saying the rain is gone for the week.

Patti, I hope you and Panda are inside where it's cool. This heat and humidity is tooo much for anyone.

Sharon, I'm still praying for you son.

Sandi, hope your dr's appt went well. I know what you mean about the meds that make you gain weight. I'm on 2 or 3 of them and still trying to lose weight. I definitely don't need to gain anymore!

Charlotte, enjoy your time with your hubby.

I'm making Renjac1301's recipe for Crockpot Chicken again for supper tonight. It was requested this time.LOL I don't know what I'd do without my crockpot in all this heat....probably eat sandwiches a lot more. I hope everyone finds a way to stay cool in all this heat. I feel for the kids going back to school next week, it's just going to be too hot for them.(School starts here on the 8th) Most of the classrooms have a/c but not all of them work that well. The high school has central heating and cooling so they aren't so bad off it's those younger children that I worry about.
Hugs, Paula

Yes Panda & I are here in "our" little den. She is behind me in "her" chair snoring. I keep the door closed so the A/C that comes in here stays in here so fairly cool. And I also have a small fan so if not cool enough I turn it on too.
Just heated some Penne Noodles with Cr of Mushroom Soup, for lunch. Part of last nites supper.
Wanted Ice Tea but no more so Ice Water will have to do for now.
I love my crockpot too Paula don't like actually cooking in microwave but do heat things up in it lots. Well now and then make "baked" potatoes in.
