Good morning. Hope everybody had a nice weekend. Around here it was good to gather some family and old friends and enjoy the back porch. The only downside was being reconciled to watching two Big Ten teams play for the LAX championship.

Good morning. Ribs done in the sous vide yesterday -- grill ready. Baked beans - check,. Slaw - check. Corn - check. Ice cream ready to freeze- check. The OP has the drink department. I think we're covered. Just gotta gt the flag out. Putting worries and frustrations aside for the next couple of day...

All in our places with sunshiny faces? Good morning.
Love, Ima

Good morning. Doc appointments at Duke Clinic today. Dreading the horrendous parking routine more than the actual appointment.
Love, Ima

Rise and shine! It's dreary here. Gotta do things today. I'd rather do other things today, though, so maybe I just will. But first .....

I know it's a bit past morning but have to brag on the ID grandson....He went to State Track ranked 15th in the shot put and ended up with 6th! He threw longer than ever before! He's one happy camper and we are a couple proud grandparents! Plus we managed graduation this weekend for his sister! Ano...

Gosh, how I wish you could get us pictures of all these dudes.

Good morning! Very cloudy. Hope Oz gets his game in. He's so sweet he'd probably melt in rain.
Love, Ima

Cashing in my chips. Good night.

Good morning. So did I Bob. Did you win anything yesterday, Ozzie? Hope you're refreshed, VDB. Rah has taken to her bed with some pain again. Hope something isn't brewing. I'm nervous. I'm gonna spend the day painting.......... after coffee and a short exercise session in the pool IF the water is wa...

This thing is headed nowhere. They're young and have run into a fabulous defensive team. Looking forward to next year.

Good morning. Rocio is here to dust up my house. I'm grateful for a morning off to go up to my studio for some "therapy".
But first the coffee ...... I need my coffee. And some juice. Yeah, juice. Oh yes, and a load of laundry started. And the emails checked.
Love, Ima

Good morning. Everything aches. Need an oil can for these joints.
Love, Ima

Hope you are taking care of yourself, VDB. It's strange how one day at this age you sit down and think, "I'll just take a minute here" only to realize you just can't get up again!! It can come out of the blue. I know the last round of occasions I had to rise to really did a number on me and aged me ...

Good morning. Still tired. Am I old or just lazy?
Love, Ima

Good morning! It's a purty one! Think I'll have another cup out on the porch.
Love, Ima

Home from the mountains tired and happy. Native's brother graduated from App yesterday so there was lots of family gathered in Boone. The OP and I have witnessed way more than our share of graduation ceremonies at several universities we've been associated with, but gotta say this one was probably t...

Good morning! Off to Boone today for the weekend with the family for JD's graduation! He crammed four years of college into 6. Native will fly in from the Apple to be with us. Can't wait to get all the hugs from those big ol' hairy-legged grandsons!

Love, Ima

Good morning. Second day of my private painting class. The OP surprised me and hired one of my favorite professional artists to come all the way from Atlanta for three days and paint with me at my own house! He keeps us in sandwiches and coffee every day. Having a marvelous time and learning a LOT! ...
