My Dad was a contractor. Lots of stuff still in their basement. Boxes and boxes of duct tape.

I can be helpful.

My hubby would love all the duct tape. He carry's some when we travel.

Currently 58. I'm not dressed for 58. Warm by day, cold by evening. Still it is better than the 90s of last week. A few days of the 70's have been kinda nice but the HEAT is coming back in a few days and the Midwest weather projections are for the temps to be high for the majority of October. Better than Snow.

Much better than having to say that dreaded 4 letter word....

I saw a nighttime photo about an outdoor hot tub somewhere out West (maybe Colorado--a high end ski resort). There was snow on the ground, and people were in this hot tub in bathing suits. You could see the steam coming up from the hot water. They were all sipping champagne, and the sky above was clear with stars.

To me, that would be the ULTIMATE!!

I like that , until you have to get out...and freeze your buns off!

Me too!

Me three. I'm up to four cups a day!

I've never tried a doggie treat--how did it taste?

Sister loved her milk bones!

Its been chilly here for a few days. Give it a couple days and we will be in the high 80s again. Got to love Indian Summer.
We missed the early chill in September for a week as we were in the 90s with dear 'ole Irma. I'm not liking round 2. Upside my lawn hasn't grown in a month.

Neither, have my rocks!

I'm going to make some "cottage" cheese later. Wish me luck

Wait a minute. You actually make cottage cheese?! If you go to the grocery store, they have it usually in two sizes and it's already made for you. I like the cottage cheese with chives--Hood makes it. Don't know if Hood is in your area or not.

You just have to buy what besides tickets?? I guess it could have been worse! I'm amazed that he still had clothes with the tags that still fit. Knowing how fast MY son grows, if I find something with the tags still on, it's usually from 2 sizes ago.

Sorry a tie which he now has. The coffee must not have kicked in yet. Yup they still fit, he got them 3 whole weeks ago and it's been too nice to wear them yet

So how big is the insurance policy

Cottage cheese is dairy, and you said you were going to make cottage cheese.

Yes, we got a notice on Friday. A couple ports are changing, so we have been to them all. I do want to return to Jamica. Nausau, not so much.....And Haiti, again...not so much. I will be spending more time on the boat. Plenty to see and do, so I'm okay with the changes. I really wanted to go to Puerto Rico, my niece, went there and she said it was really nice, and lots to do. There was a museum I wanted to visit. Maybe next time.....

If you ever get a chance fly to PR once it's up and running and spend at least a week there!!!!!! It really was beautiful

A month or two ago Disney Stores announced a new business model. I think the stores are starting in Texas to remodel first, if I am remembering correctly. I sure know it wasn't Illinois.

And I don't care for hot hot weather but I'm willing to take the warm temps. I hate snow.

Me too, if I never see another inch of the white stuff, that would be too much. I'll take my "snow", on Christmas Movies.....Christmas in Conneticut....comes to mind.

Some of the boys this year are planning on wearing nicer jeans and a polo shirt and most of the girls are planning on wearing dresses but not going out to get hair and make up done Of course there's always a couple of guys who wear jeans with the tux Tshirt even at prom I heard it was a bit more formal before the last economic downturn. Formal but not stuffy and flowers and strong scents have been policy at school and all it's functions for a while I like that none of the students are left out of anything if they can't afford it

That is a great policy! I wish the cruise ship industry could get the message....no more formal nights! I hate dressing up and hauling all the extra stuff for a couple formal nights.
