Good morning, IG, everyone. We're all set here in NC to take some of that rain off your hands....at least I'm hoping that the forecast is accurate....it's cloudy outside now.

I've already eaten breakfast (bacon/eggs/grits/toast), lysie, or I would be mightily tempted by that breakfast! Thanks anyway; it looks really good.

I'm off to get my 2nd mug of coffee, which scientists say helps one to live longer. I'm testing their findings. LOL

Good Morning all!

Beautiful day in store for us today.

Today we are have our son's graduating party out at the park where I work. (A lodge rental.) The weather sounds like its going to be perfect.

I will work for a portion of the day before joining the festivities later on.

Saw the movie Bella last night. (My kids got it for me as a Father's Day gift.) If you haven't seen it I recommend it strongly. It is a very life affirming movie.

HI! looked LIKE THE end of the world here yesterday afternoon, it got so dark (bad weather) the rooster got to crowing, chickens started going into the hen house, sure enough bad looking but, very little rain here, what it did in other parts of the county surely some folks got it bad.

Have gotten on a reading kick, big time, reading everything I can find that looks interesting.

All this talk of those kids WANTING to get pregnant on the news, I can remember is a young girl in my young days go in ‘that way’ she would suddenly visit her kinfolks way away from our home town, sure has changed hasn't it.

Am asking for prayers as we go back to court on Kaleb next week, the kids want to adopt him so badly and I can't tell you the hold he has on this ole heart, please, keep us in prayer.

Just wanted to start my day off right and say howdy so, ‘howdy’, have a good and safe day.

That Obama seal makes me sick. He’s one scary person and so are the people who hang with him.

Since this is such a slow evening, I thought I’d post this:

The buzzword of this election is ‘CHANGE’. Candidates toss it around without saying what they want to change to.

Years ago, there was an old tale in the Marine Corps about a lieutenant who inspected his Marines and told the ‘Gunny’ that they smelled bad. The lieutenant suggested that they change their underwear.

The Gunny responded, ‘Aye,aye, sir, I’ll see to it immediately’ .

He went into the tent and said, ‘The lieutenant thinks you guys smell bad, and wants you to change your underwear. Smith, you change with Jones, McCarthy, you change with Witkowskie, Brown, you change with Schultz. Get to it’.

The moral: A candidate may promise change in Washington , but don’t count on things smelling any better.

Fight organized crime........Don’t re-elect anyone.

Howdy. Saturday night is slow here. Spent the day with Mom. Her back is better, but her mind is going.

It was good to spend time with her.

Doing good, except for the employment situation. As I kill time, I'm building another 98" radio-controlled glider. Not a kit this time. I'm using cut up aluminum cans instead of balsa for the framework. Got a bet going with a buddy that says it's not possible. 180-200 grams wing weight so far. Lighter than balsa, and just as strong. Not so easy to repair, though.

Yes.... beer cans.

Wow! Congrats on grandbaby #3! When???

We are all doing quite well. Em is exceeding all expectations. Ev is doing great and has visited twice since school finished for the year. He has AT most of August so wants to come home as often as possible prior to that. And older son, Jake, just got a sort-of promotion at work and is happier with his new position. Hubby & I had a great vacation (South Dakota, Mt. Rushmore, Deadwood, Badlands etc. etc. etc.) and are enjoying the summer so far. This morning we went to the Farmer's Market and got fresh strawberries, sugar snap peas, some Door County cherries and other delicacies.

Life is good at the moment. "Normal", you might say.:-)

Normal is good. ;)

Yep. 98" wingspan glider. It's a lot of fiddly work and I go to bed with superglued fingers. But it keeps me off the streets.

Progress on it is slow, as emptying the beer cans makes focusing a problem. ;)

It's going to be a beauty. Plank wing with dihedral quarter-ends. And no problem with humidity changing the shape, as I had in North Carolina.

The baby will be here when she arrives. I don't know a date, but I'm pretty sure she will know when it is time. (I've sorta slipped into Navajo time over the last few months)

Jemian, how're you feeling these days?

Funny you should ask that just now. I have been getting more and more run down since I landed. Which is a surprise because last year I got better and better. But the heaviness in the chest became heavier, and it was became more of an effort to breath and my cough became rumblier. On Wednesday it was apparent I needed to see a doctor. However, during the time I've been gone, my insurance company changed guidelines of how to get in to see a doc. I spent about an hour-an-a-half trying to find one and ended up going to the emergency. I didn't really want to do that for a non-emergency but I did know that I needed to get some treatment.

Of course the first thing that was done was to check to see if it was a heart problem. But skipping to the end of the story, I have bronchitis (and am anemoic) and am now on an antibiotic, albuterol and a steroid. I still tire easily although not quite as easily and my cough is less severe. I think my bronchitis is better.

In an unrelated incident, my left ankle "turned" Friday night and so now I'm back in an ankle brace and am using a cane.

Had to go to Astoria on Tuesday and must admit I was shocked by the number of OBAMA bumper stickers I and the number of OBAMA yard signs. Made my heart sink :-( Then I started looking for McCain signs - guess what? I never saw a single sign or bumper sticker.

Oregon is a lost cause. MOVEON.ORG is alive and well here. Young people just ooh and aah over the glib speaking, empty brained OBAMA.

Love your new bumper sticker.

I wonder if something like that would wake some people up?

No, I don't think so they are too overwhelmed with Obama and his retoric. They will be mightily surprised when they finally get the bill! But, will they ever see the light?
