how about drinking?

Thanks Sandy - it wasn't classwork - two work cases that spilled over into summer - very complicated...Not taking any DPs till early August. I have more than plenty to renew my national certification and my dept of ed license which are good for another year. It might be the last time I renew my dept of ed license as its good for 5 years and that will have me past 7, but will renew my national certification oe more time as it is only 3 years, then I'll get retired status.
Nice weather today -70s and through the week-end before the 90s come back. Rain is also in the forecast.
Have a great Friday and week-end.

Tonight I did Zoom temple because they gave me a blessing to sing as an aliyah (an honor) for our 50th anniversary (Bob had a new admission at one of his hospitals--but the cantor blessed him too, for the mitzvah of saving lives). The services are usually livestreamed on YouTube (with only the service participants on Zoom), but the new tech captain's Facebook Live portal (bought to provide an extra option) somehow broke the temple's link to YouTube. So we had to send out Zoom invitations to the Board and regular attendees, and we recorded the service to put up on YouTube later. After the closing hymn, Happy jumped on to the table and video-bombed the congregation! (In-person services return in August).
Dinner tonight was reheated Wildfire leftovers (I still have enough prime rib remaining to freeze, even after giving some of mine to Bob to supplement his half a filet mignon). So because the 2011 Williams-Selyem Estate Vineyard seemed a bit thin (now I know the outer limits of even a great Pinot Noir's lifespan), I Coravined a 2015 "Sonoma Coast," and it was awesome! Made last night's LaCrema at the restaurant seem like box wine.
Weather held up most of the day, but the thundershowers are firing back up here (1 am)--though not the severe storms the far south suburban and NW IN counties had a few hours ago. Tomorrow will be intermittent torrential rains. I hope that they don't hold my sister's flight on the ground at Dulles. (If there's a storm at the destination--or in the air between--they won't allow takeoffs). At least my lawn has lost its brown spots and my baby black oak is thriving. And we have more black raspberries than we can pick. Our tomatoes are growing (though not yet ripening). But the rabbits got all the wild fraises des bois. (We snooze, we lose).
Kim, my neighbors were in CA, but his mom was in from WI babysitting their two little boys when their tree fell. They're all in WI this weekend.

Good Morning, Loungettes! Happy Saturday. Shaping up to be a very pretty day today. Going over to Mom's in a bit to deliver some lettuce and yellow eye beans that I ordered for her from my farm drop. Not sure what else we will do today, of if she has plans for herself. Fine with me either way.
Sadie says Hi to everyone!
Karen--isn't it funny to be thinking about renewals and recertifications being the last before retirement?
Chi--isn't the tech world amazing, sometimes? I hope a lot of places like houses of worship and businesses will keep the video options going. I've been able to access more educational meetings, classes, and seminars that way than ever before, from all over the country. I certainly can't afford to travel as I'd need to if I were going to these physically! So the neighbors children and grandmother were home when the tree fell? They must have been so scared! I hope the damage isn't too bad. Probably good for them to be out of the house for a bit until it's fixed or their nerves stop jangling.
Farmers Cocktail
2 oz of Veev (Acai Liquor)

My wall stickers have arrived for the she-shed beach bar I will build at the cabin and I'm super excited. They'll be placed on the back wall and the entire scene view is 6X9ft. I can look at this all day!
-
The grandma (my age or a tad younger) was calm, and the little boys were thrilled--to them, it was the most exciting thing that had happened here.
Speaking of drinking, I'm tempted to spike my morning coffee: my sister just called that her flight from Dulles was cancelled and there's nothing flying into either Chicago airport from noon till 8 pm (a Delta flight costing $1K) and if weather is the culprit, that'll get cancelled too. There are some planes overhead right now, but I suspect those may be the last. Not just weather, but American & SW has cancelled half their flights going forward because no flight attendants want to work for peanuts while being abused by drunk and mask-averse passengers.
Bracing myself for the rash of phone calls from south & west suburban guests afraid to drive in case the severe thunderstorm & flash flood warnings return. One guest flew in from SC on Thurs. night, so at least he got to see his best friend Thurs. & Fri. So if he can drive here from the northern 'burb where he's staying, at least he'll attend. Our guest list was 31 as of yesterday. We'll be lucky to get even half that...if the restaurant doesn't have to shut down for a tornado or flood warning. And we'll be walking to the restaurant (assuming they don't cancel) because we need to save on-street parking for the suburban guests.
So this week is off to a great start. Mon. morning Bob gets his Orthovisc shots and finds out if & when he will need a TKR. The junk guys will be coming to take away the sofabed, and Tues. the chairs get delivered. My HK will be away in Birmingham 7/2-11--7/2 is when the A/C is supposed to be installed. But the weather forecast here is showers & storms (or worse) all the way till Mon. 7/5. Thank you, global warming,
-
illimae - I love the stickers....it is going to be great behind the bar. We can see the size by your feet in the picture. We will all show up to have a drink at the beach. lol
-
Sandy, so very sorry to hear your sister and niece won't be able to take off. Congratulations on your 50th anniversary. It will be one to remember, for sure.

Well, as long as our basement dries out; our HK's basement and alley (through which both cars need to drive) are flooded. Bob made it home--he was lucky that none of the exits from I-55 and Lake Shore Drive he needed were closed. Waiting to hear from my suburban guests. Restaurant is OK, but the owners' house's roof is leaking (started last week during the storm that took out the tree next door). Sticking to H2O as my DOTD till dinner--and then hoo boy, will I drink!

Hi ladies, well let's get started.
Oh that wall looks so relaxing, really great. I so enjoy how u take pics of ur bottles.
Hi Jane.
Misty u'vr got a lot going on and good for you. It's time.
Karen it must just feel good seeing ur DD that's just way to long. And hoping plans to visit ur other DD goes well. How exciting.
Kim it sounds like u and ur mom are getting along well together. It's good u have her. And Sadie is in a class of her own. give her some extra belly rubs. Ur weather sounds crazy too, so far bad actually just keep safe.
Lori u and those fires WOW to scary. I'm glad u got some help and limited ur delivery time, hoping that gives u a little laid back time so u can get some rest. And I certainly hop ur feeling OK. I was supposed to see my sister yesterday by her DD's home an go swimming but the weather stopped us. She's doing OK but not great.
-
Jazzy I just read that there were 3 people killed today from a balloon and 1 critically injured. Oh wow right in Alb. I hope u didn't see anything really. How is ur DS doing, It has to be a comfort for her to have you. wshe knows it or not ur the type of sister she needs right now.
Holy smoley Sandy l;ots of work to do to ur house. I think a lot of people don't realize there are areas in Chicago that homes are expensive and further north. Like Warrenville isn't that far from million dollar homes altho it's very nice here certainly not close for that kind of money. we got this home for about 25,000 les cuz it really did need a lot of work. But thanks to my boyfriends what we had done hardly cost anything but supplies so that really worked out for us. The only thing Marty did was paint. And all the beautiful pieces of furniture Leslie's GF gave her from the house she sold in Barrington. A nd what she got is beautiful cuz her home was sold for over a million so how it was furnished was great. Ours isn't big but it's fine for us with more privacy than u can imagine.
Joey has an app't this coming month with the school in NY <where he wants to go> even tho they invited him we'll see. NY he's nuts. This is terrible of me but before all these schools invited him he was just planning on going around here much much cheaper now he has a chance to go other places and I'm not happy about that so i act good but selfishly I don't like it. Isn't that awful of me???
Hey Teka Celia and everyone who I missed and a special prayer for JC.
LUBS YOU ALL

Cami - I am in CA for my SiL services tomorrow and my phone was blowing up this morning after it happened. All five people in the basket died. No one knows exactly what happened. It's a terrible accident
About two miles south of my house 😔
-
Been MIA as well, just have a lot going on. Having Tammy and her BF over this coming weekend, they are bringing a Uhaul so we can move all the hose out of our warehouse in town. I've been doing it a pick up load at a time and it's hard on me and will take forever like that. We want to sell that land. But it's still full of all the stuff from when we were going to have that garage sale when Covid hit.
Sandy, I hear ya about what a nightmare it would be to move. I feel the same way. Storms and flooding out east, and we are burning up in the west.
Karen, so nice that your DD is visiting. That must make you so happy. And then to possibly be going to visit your other DD. I sure hope that happens for you.
NM, I'm sure Sadie will be fine when you go to NC. Good for you for flying first class. Putting a gazebo up in the dark with a flashlight...hmmmm! So glad they got that man and his dog out of the trailer. Those go up in no time at all. Zucchini water, who would have thunked!
BabyGirl, the wall picture for your she shed is perfect!
Cami, I could get some rest if DH would quit inviting people over! I'm in a cleaning frenzy for this weekend coming up. I haven't done much cleaning since before when everyone was here, so it does need it.
Jazzy, I hope you are enjoying your time in CA. Terrible tragedy with the balloon accident, wow.
My brother has been spending weekends at my niece's. Here is a recent pic of Nora.

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Sunday Funday!Well, I ran Mom's beans and lettuce and beet greens over to her, but she wasn't home. Not sure where she went, but that's ok. I just let myself in and put the stuff away and used the potty and headed back home. Spend a wonderful afternoon on the deck in the breeze reading and listening to the birds.
Illie--That is a great view for the she-shed! I could look at that all day, too. I'd rather be in a hammock or beach chair in the sand and running into the water periodically, but looking at it is very nice!
Chi--Oh, boy, sounds like you are having a GREAT day! You've certainly earned a shot of something in your coffee. I never thought about possible travel disruptions due to weather, guess I better check that out. Maybe the travel insurance would be worth it after all. Looks like your busy morning will extend through the entire week! Don't forget to take care of yourself.
Misty--great idea!See you at the beach shed!
Morning, jhl!
Cammy Cat--I'm not too unhappy with the weather right now. It's doing its thing. As long as I can get some deck time in I'm content. Sadie says 'thank you' for the extra belly rubs! Good for Joey for getting invites to see different schools! It will be good for him to look at different schools so he can be sure he is where he wants to be and getting the education he wants. It will be hard with him away, I am sure. I don't blame you for wanting him to stay nearby, and I applaud you for not letting on to him how you feel!Prayers for JCL.
Jazzy--I'm kind of glad you weren't home with that balloon accident happened. Way too close to home to be comfortable. Not that your current situation is any more comfortable. Hugs and prayers.
Goldie--at least there will be some benefit to you of having Tammy and her BF over. It would be great if they could get all the stuff moved so you can go ahead with the property sale. And yes, those mobile homes can be death traps where fire is involved. NORA is so CUTE!!!!!

Lori - Nora is a cutie. Enjoying having DD#1 here. Visit to DD#2 is probably not going to happen as Covid Delta cases are increasing and they are getting stricter and stricter. We will wait another week or so to see what happens before we cancel, but as of now its not likely as if anyone on our flight tests positive for Covid upon landing the whole flight has to quarantine for 10 days - no reason to spend all that money to sit in an Airbnb, not being able to go anywhere and not really getting to see our daughter. Unless, I take time off from school around the holidays, which is tough to miss two weeks and it is high price season, it will be winter break. Sad and disappointed but know that it is best. Third trip that we are missing. Glad you are getting help moving things. You need some R and R for just you.
Kim - tragic fire - good that no one was injured
Cami - I'm sure it will be tough to have Joey far away - but its over a year and who knows maybe he'll like Loyola.
Nice, pleasant day out today - blue sky and maybe 70. I think we are done rain after 2 days - but it was nice steady rain good for trees etc.
Have a great Sunday

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Monday Monkey Day! It got really hot and sticky here yesterday. I should have taken Sadie and me swimming, but didn't have the energy. Today I'm going to find the ramp and see if it fits Sapphire, and we WILL go swimming if it stays as sticky as yesterday. I have got to start doing some fun stuff even though the house and yard stuff isn't all caught up or I'll run out of energy to do anything.
Morning, Cammy Cat!
Karen--The Delta variant news is starting to get worrisome, isn't it? So many places have Do Not Travel or Reconsider Travel advisories. It must be disappointing.

Wow I thought I was here yesterday, I guess I started.
Karen it's a shame u can't really plan all u want is ti see ur DD and now it's gotten so complicated. And everyone has gotten in this vicious circle of what to do. I hope u can go to be with her.
OK more confusion has set in for me. Kim u r going to school right now is that what u do all summer or do u have other things that r academic going on. U keep so busy and I know u have more time with with Sadie oh she loves that but I can't picture u not doing much. Ur just not like that.
Karen I wish u were right about Joey but I know he doesn't want to spend his time around here. He's very guarded about his world and Marty won't be ready to hear it for a long time. It doesn't bother me at all but I'm just one person and living away he would feel comfortable and since they're offering scholarships <don't have a clue why> except our income is low and they're making it so affordable he can choose to be who he really is. I have assured him how he lives doesn't change one iota of how I feel about him but one person is not enough at this point. I told my sister and u gals but no one else cuz he asked me not to Oh well.
My GF came back from NY the other day she got to be with her grandchildren and of course she's miserable now. She only sees them about 2x a yr. and she hates that...I don't blame her. Her mom lives with her and has dementia so she feels miserable most days <with cancer> but she's planning on coming here very soon so that's good. Her mom is doing well with the cancer <I think it's cuz of the dementia> so that part is good. She mostly doesn't know she has it. She's 88 now.
Jodie was here yesterday making sure she didn't see Leslie which breaks my heart FF has won he's got the control he wanted and worked for these yrs. But I'm miserable. He never even bothered to aske me or Joey to Jodie's party and her friends are not kids some of them are near my age and I know them, he's such an ASS.
Sorry this really has been all about me but i had to unload and u gals are the ones I do that with. Oh and I do have 2 tests I have to do and so far not looking so good. Leave it to me to wait to long. Oh well now I've really bore myself.
Hope the week starts out great and continues that way.

Feel at home Chevy??? -
Service went well ladies. I'm starting my way home around noon today.

Brief update: son seems to be responding to chemo and he and his family are just back from a week's vacation; DH got a good report from cardiologist, only prescription is walking to keep circulation going in the problem ankle otherwise pump and pipes are clear; grandson's future MIL is out of the hospital on outpatient treatment. Whew! It has been a busy few weeks.
Cami, good to hear from you and sorry tests are not looking good. Hugs and fingers crossed for better news for you.
NM, best get the swimming and kayaking in while you can. It is almost the fourth of July. My mother said it seemed school started right after the 4th. Never understood that as a kid but makes perfect sense now.
Karen, hoping your travel plans work out in spite of the delta variant.
Jazzy, safe travels.
Lori, oh my what gorgeous big eyes Nora has!!! She is a cutie. Good to hear you have some help moving the hose. Now to have your "garage" sale and get the building cleared out with a sold sign out front! (Not wishing for much, am I?)
I'll I'm we, love the she shed mural.
Wishing everyone a good day and saying a prayer for JCS.

Oh Beaver good to hear from u and things are starting to look up for ur family. Always nice to hear some good news. Of course u have been busy and have to be emotionally drained.
Lori when I saw the pic of Nora I thought she has gotten so big but even more so beautiful.Wishing safe travels for Jazzy.

Nora is indeed adorable, Lori!
Karen, so sorry Israel is locking down again--but better safe than sorry,
The anniversary party went off without a hitch. By the time my SC friend arrived at our house the rain had stopped. But between his Parkinson's and Bob's bum knee, we drove so I could drop them off. My plan was then to drive home, park in the garage, and walk back--but there was an available spot right across B'way from Cellars. Amazingly, of all the guests who'd RSVPd "yes," there were only 3 no-shows: my sis & niece, whose flight was cancelled because nothing could land at Midway (and all domestic flights into O'Hare had canceled--only the transatlantic ones could take off from abroad because they'd be in the air long enough to divert if necessary); and my godson's fiancee, a food chemist who was stuck at her lab in Schaumburg because the roads there had flooded. (We had them pack up a dinner for him to bring home to her). In all, there were 28 of us, and the restaurant was full and "made their nut" (and then some) for a Saturday night.
DsOTD: guests were greeted with Laurent Perrier champagne or their quaff of choice. With dinner, we poured Meiomi Pinot Noir or a Castelli de Jesu Verdicchio. We never did get to make speeches or give a toast because we were all too busy eating, drinking, and schmoozing (including catching up with friends we hadn't seen since March 2020). My other godson, who lives in Seattle, had already sent his regrets because his wife is due in less than 2 weeks--but as of Sat. night she was already Braxton-Hicks-ing. Not just that, but in brutal triple-digit heat--and no AC! (We didn't have any A/C when we lived there either, just a box fan and a swamp cooler).
Last night we went to Big Jones (low country Carolina cooking) for our actual anniversary. They're still getting the kinks worked out of their QR code menus (we had to keep re-scanning), but it was still great. Our cocktails were comped (Old Fashioned for Bob, because they'd run out of their famous Artillery Punch at brunch; and a "Pileated Woodpecker" for me: rye distilled in the neighborhood, ginger syrup, muddled strawberries, Angostura & blood orange bitters). I had cava with my food, Bob had a microbrew brewed a few blocks away.
Today the Got Junk? guys came and relieved us of our dead sofabed. Tomorrow La-Z-Boy will be bringing our new recliners--at least they said they would. The rain held off most of the day, and it was just light drizzle rather than storms. Farmers' market offerings weren't much--no sour cherries coming in for another couple of weeks. Bought snow peas and cilantro ($1 a bunch, because I've given up on keeping my own crop from "bolting"). Interestingly, they were selling black raspberries, which we have growing in abundance. Bob eats them "on the hoof" on his way to & from the garage.
Wasn't gonna drink today--but cracked a bottle of Mumm Napa "Santana" NV brut to celebrate the results of Bob's ortho appt: Turns out he has plenty of cartilage remaining in that knee (more than I had in either of mine), but just lots of edema from arthritis. They drained 30cc of fluid (a bit more than a shot glass full) and gave him a cortisone/lidocaine shot--no need for Orthovisc yet. He's already feeling better and walking faster.

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Twofer Tuesday! Well, we didn't get to the lake yesterday, waited until almost 7 peeyem for a package delivery that was due by 1:30 peeyem. Give the heat and humidity already this ayem, we are definitely going today. So thankful for the AC in the bedroom last night, and so was Sadie!
Morning, Cammy Cat--yes, I am going to school for myself to geta Doctor of Nursing Practice degree. I don't have anything going on with the elementary school for now, that will start up again in late August. For now I get up in the ayems, do school work, then putter around the house a bit during the peeyems, and lounge in the evenings. I'm sorry to hear that Joey is going through tough times. Sometimes being away from home is a good thing for a young adult. Good to hear your GF got to be with her grandchildren. It must be hard seeing them so infrequently. One blessing of dementia is not knowing about things like cancer. So much easier on the mother that way. I am so sorry to hear about the rift FF created between Jodie and Leslie. He is such an ass, alright. Someday, all that will come around and bite him in his, I hope. And there is nothing wrong with coming here and being all about you once in a while! That's what we are hear for! What are the tests coming up about?
Jazzy--hugs and safe travels.
Beaver--glad to hear son is responding to treatment! That is good news. So is DH's report and MIL's improvement! Yes, I am going to start getting that stuff in today. Promised myself. And Sadie!
Librarian--thinking of you, prayers and hugs!
Chi--so happy the Anniversary Party went so well! That is an amazingly low number of no-shows for the weather you are having, and all pretty understandable. And the sofa is gone, and the La-Z-Boys coming is good. Sometimes buying from the farmer's market is easier than growing your own. Great news about DH's knee!
Wedding Anniversary
1 1/2 cl of campari bitters
3 cl of Vodka
12 cl of Orange Juice
3 cl of galliano herbal liqueur
Shake with ice and strain into a glass.

Sandy - sounds like your anniversary week-end was a great success.
Regarding Israel, we will wait till the 9th to cancel as a lot can happen between now and then. Sending our daughter the required paper work to go to Misrah Hapanin (Ministry of Interior) tomorrow to apply for our Ishur (permission to enter). I applied last week to the LA consulate. Better to have it and change our mind and not travel, rather than not apply and things get better. Had a nice visit with DD#1 - she heads home on a 6 pm ish flight to Buffalo then will drive the 1 1/2 hours home at close to midnight (can you say worried mom)!
Stay cool and safe
-
Oh my NM, so glad that man got out of the trailer! Did your mom not know you were coming over? Glad you were able to let yourself in. I don't think you live too far from her, right? And yes, you need to get out and do some fun stuff, summer will be over before you know it. Sorry the late package put a damper in your afternnoon.
Karen, this damned Covid BS, I'm so over it. I hope it doesn't ruin my plans for Michigan end of Sept. Sorry for the mom worries, but glad your DD came to visit.
Cami, what do you mean when you say Marty won't be ready to hear it for a long time? Does he not want Joey to leave? Of course no one does, I'm sure. I'm so sorry about the girls, I forgot what FF said or did to cause this. I know this breaks your heart. And my gosh, rant all you want. We've all been there.
Jazzy, you should be home by now. Glad everything went well and hopefully you had safe travels.
Beaver, glad to hear your son has a bit of good news. How is he feeling? And thank you for wishing for so much for me!
Sandy, glad your party went well. Happy Anniversary! Yay for new furniture. Glad the draining and shot helped with Bob's knee.
Leaving tomorrow for Phoenx, be back on Thursday. DH starts an infusion, to hopefully slow the progression of the ALS. They will have a nurse come here on Friday and she will show me how to do. First month is every day for 15 days, next two months is 10 days in a row. I also get my infusion, which I don't know if MO is going to change my treatment or not. I'm supposed to go get an echo, but don't see the point if they change my treatment.

Mornin ladies. let's see how it goes...
sandy ur party couldn't have gone much better under the craziness of these times. Food and drinks sound perfect and being with everyone even better and good news about Bob's knee is turning out well...all in a couple of weeks. did gordy and Leslie come, somehow I missed that.
I like ur summer plans Kim sounds like u evened everything out just for ur comfort and u should. U need that for sadie too. And it does sound like u live pretty close to ur mom <good thinking>or u just make it sound easy.
Karen we are all cheering for ur trip hoping it happens with plenty of safety. Oh ur mom feelings come thru all the time honestly I would hate to have either dd so far from me so ur really strong.
Jazzy u must be home now and of course hoping all went as well as could be expected.
Lori I thought I told u all that Joey is gay I think that's the reason he wants to go away to school and Marty doesn't have a clue he just wouldn't take it well at least at first. It doesn't make any difference how I feel about him of course. but don't u remember when he was little how he LOVED women so I don't get it but if it was 25 yrs. ago he'd have a much harder time with all of this so I give him all the support I can, nothing can stop a grandma's love so it is what it is. He actually told me he was by and I told him pick one not fair to others. I did tell my sister and he told Jodie but that's it so far. the boy he hangs out with is not his boyfriend he told me that would ruin the friendship eventually and he'd rather have a great friend.
My 2 tests that r coming up have to do with more cancer, but they could be wrong so I'm really trying not to think about it at all. I'll know in a couple of weeks. soon enough.
If anyone hears from JC please let us know.
