Everybody knows how to raise children, except the people who have them.

There, a bottom and a top quote - now I really am off to have that last coffee that is calling my name.

Finish your coffee, Theresa then come on down. I have AC, it will be nice and cool here for you to help me clean my baths hehehe.

The sloshy thing has finished, time to hame em out.

I'll be right there ........

HANG em out, Duh!

I am back. I did my meds pick up at pain management, picked up my antibiotics and ear drops, and met with the realtor. I made an offer, which he thinks will be accepted. The seller has 3 business days to decide on my offer. The place has central air and heat, ceiling fans, stove, refrigerator, freezer, and a washer/dryer set. It also has city water instead of well water, but Robert prefers that. It IS small, but much roomier than his apartment and has a lot more privacy.

Fingers crossed your offer is accepted, Heidi.

I am drooping and sagging just like my plants - feels like temp of 38C. Yuck,yuck, yuck.

Ohhh, Theresa, that is way hot for Canada, right?

MizT, we often get temps like this in mid July and August, but not usually this early in the year. We have been under a humidex advisory all day. I have done nothing and I'm exhausted. Every year the humidity seems to bother me more and more ... sigh.

I was in Canada 4 yrs ago and we had weather up to 40 in June. We went for a ride in the car with the aircon on full.

Thank goodness those temps are not the norm for us in early to mid June.

The sun disappeared and it got very dark. I needed to get a few things at the store. When I left the store I saw chain lightning in the sky and it started to lightly rain. I am home alone, am terrified of storms, and I think we're going to get a doozy. Maybe I should shut down the pooter soon.

Oh, Oh, the lights are flickering ......

Stay safe Theresa. Good Afternoon folks...Just dropping in to check on the old folks and am happy to report that many of you are napping quietly, all the meds needed at this time have been dispensed and hugs given and received...so all is doing well for now...keep it going that way.... Off to get some swearing done..can't keep putting it off darn it!
Take care, I care. Peace.

My tractor broke down as I was putting hay in the barn. The mechanic says it's serious, and he won't be able to get to it for a couple of weeks.

Heidi, maybe it's time for a new tractor?

Hi Mama, thanks Mama, bye Mama.

Still thundering and lightning, but in the distance. It's raining and gosh darn it, I don't care what the neighbours think, I'm going outside to cool off.

This tractor is only 4 years old, Theresa. It IS a new tractor.

I just heard from the realtor. They accepted my offer. The property and house are mine.

Congratulations, Heidi. When are you going to tell IH?

Woohoo Heidi - good news about the house, bad news about the tractor.
Theresa - glad you refused to do the toilet - bad enough to have to do your own, isn't it?
As usual the weather is playing up at opposite ends of the globe, sweltering for the topsiders and cold and miserable for us. It's worse in southern states but it's cold and miserable here which makes it difficult to shake this cough and asthma I've had for weeks. I haven't seen my Mum in 3-4 weeks because I don't want her to get my germs.

Congrats on getting the house and property, Heidi. Sorry to hear your tractor is sick, hope the mechanic can get to it sooner rather than later.

Theresa, if it rained here, I would go outside too! At least to the porch, and in a blowing rain, can get pretty wet out there. It is raining in Alabama, but all the pop up t showers are moving away from me, drats!

HI Mama, good to see you drop in.

Hugs again, and I should be back after flinging food.

If anybody wants a laugh, I added a picture to my page. It's Robert on Miss Kitty when she decided to end the trail ride. She was fine, by the way.

That picture did give me a good laugh, Heidi. That's one of those moments when you're glad there's a camera nearby.

Morning all,
So many things I want to comment on, and they are over 2 pages so I had to open my notepad. Very handy thing this notepad!

Heidi, great news about the offer being accepted! Bad news about the tractor. I'm guessing you'll have to borrow your favourite one back to finish the job. A new one would probably cost as much as the house and land you just bought! It would cost more here. I hope the relief is quick. ♥ I'll have to pop over and check your photo, but not until after I post this. This is the last day of our internet and if it runs out, it's gone until tomorrow - not buying a 4th block of extra data with one day to go!

Theresa, I 'rested' my hand for about 3 years to get to the point where I could do anything without pain and sleep without crying. I still wrote letters, but gave up knitting, crocheting and computer games. It was either that or surgery. I told my D for the 4th day in a row - I can't clean your bathroom if I can't get into it. Won't make any difference though until she decides she wants a clean bathroom. Unfortunately it is also the bathroom any visitors would use. I hope you danced in the rain - bugger the neighbours!

MizT, I hope the bearish mood went away eventually. Not pleasant...

Suzy, I didn't dance, but if I was younger I might have entered a wet T-shirt contest.

IH just got home, and I told him about buying the property. He got a bit upset. He hates me spending my money. I told him that it's an investment. And a done deal.

Bravo, Heidi.

Gotta run - the NHL game between Boston and Vancouver has just started. These playoff games are pretty feisty and can get nasty.

I have the girls before school tomorrow as it is D's first day back at work.

See you all tomorrow. HUGS to everyone.

Heidi, if you spend your money, then he cannot find a way to 'borrow' it!

Time for me to get out of here too, I need a while to make myself beautiful for lunch with Liz, Judy and Bean. Kate can't make it today, the woman is never home long enough!

Hollie... one of my oldest rescues.... fell in the pond today and didn't have the strength to get out. When I found her she was exhausted. She's now laying in the sunroom on a dog bed, covered in blankets (she was shivering and shocky). She can't sit up, much less stand. I don't know if she'll make it. Hollie has been acting really, really old lately, and I've felt that her time is coming up soon, anyways.

Morning everyone.
Stay at home day today, and do stuff..
Mountain Range of clean clothing to 'sort' thru..
Paper work in the office that needs attention..
House that could do with a tidy up..
and so on..............

Sending Hugs and ♥ to all and sundry

Heidi, sorry to hear of Hollie's accident, hope she can pull through.

Theresa, such progress, your daughter back at work, hope all goes well for her.

Tricia, did you break the site?
Opps, Good Afternoon!
Heidi, love the photo of Robert, tell him we are laughing with him! Hope Holly is OK.
Love and hugs to you all.

Hello, Everyone! Another long day here, and another scheduled for tomorrow. Sending lots of cyber {{{{{HUGS}}}}}, , positive thoughts and prayers for all in need! Sleep well when it's time! Stay cool (U.S.) and warm (down under) and less humid/dry (Canada) and well hydrated (MizT and parts of down under). Will try to get here earlier tomorrow! Thinking of all of you!

Hi, Broni (if you're still around)! And bye, Broni, as I need to head to bed.

Went to sleep while typing a comment last night.
I knew friend was feeling better when I got a phone call saying bring me some decent food. I cannot eat this cr#p!
i made her an omelet with cheese, mushroom and ham. Filled a hot water bottle, put the omelet in a plastic container on top of the hot water, wrapped in a towel and it was still very warm half an hour later.
Ken saw her this morning and said she was not as bright as last night. Depending on how she is tomorrow she could be home for the weekend. Will have to go back next week to have the lungs drained (This time it was from around the heart)

Busy today getting beds etc organised for the family from Melbourne who will arrive tonight. Soon off to the hospital again.

Thanks for the update June - had been wondering and worrying. Suzy sends thoughts and hugs - she's run out of allowance until tomorrow and is suffering SA withdrawals.

I have been worrying too, hadn't seen any updates but realise that you have other things on your mind June. ((HUGS))
Congratulations on getting the property Heidi, would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when you told IH. Sorry to hear about Hollie's accident I'm sure you will sort her out which ever way it has to be ((HUGS)) That tractor seems to have had more than it's fair share of Problems, must have been made on a Friday.
The Lexus was supposed to be picked up yesterday. The guy came for it, went to get it taxed at the post office, got lost, then found the PO but by that time it had closed, then got lost on the way back here. I had described him to my daughter before she went out in her car. I got a phone call from her asking what sort of car he was driving as she thought he was behind her going out through the next village. She managed to flag him down and bring him back here. Trying again today to pick the car up.
