Jean in Newcastle Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I googled and apparently pill bugs (aka rollie pollies) taste similar to shrimp. Who knew? (The person who put this on the internet, that's who!) 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I sound like Ove) I’ve got a ton of California history resources that are awesome. But just tell me I gotta study the California Indians. And know about Father Serra and the Missions.

Susan in TN Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I have spent some time today trying to find a service that would deliver fresh eggs, bread, fruit, and vegetables to my in-laws, but so far nothing delivers to their area. There is a grocery store a half hour from them that offers gift cards, so we might have to go that route. I know they have a doctor in that town, so they will be in the area often enough to stop for some groceries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Good Sunday Morning! COFFEE!! (((Jean))) Hope you get 2nd sleep. Our travelers are home. They saw Mt. Rushmore; I get Mt. Washmore. So, I'm up to start on laundry and I hope everyone else will sleep in a bit. Dh hit some debris in the road and tore up something under my car and only told me about last night after they got home, and mentioned I should have them replace something (he had to bend back into place) at my next oil change. Uh no. That's not how it works. He will be taking it in and explaining whatever the heck happened and dealing with it. <insert toe tapping guy> We are also the proud owners of 5 new souvenir mugs. Ya know, cause we really needed more mugs. Kids had a great time at camp and 12yo ds wants to go to camp next year too now. So, I guess we'll be adding OYAN to his schedule for the school year. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Good morning, all. Yawn. My two children are in Yellowstone this morning. I think. I had pictures of them around geysers yesterday. Today feels like a geyser is going off somewhere--the air is full of steam, and the dragonflies are already hawking over the front yard. I watered half of the garden this morning before caffeine called my name. I'll get the second half later today. The sick chicken is no better, but no worse. She's in the house where it is cool, and not amused at having to take medicine. I don't really think she will recover, but she's in no distress, and seems comfortable. I have way too much writing work to get through today. I don't see myself getting more than a little basic cleaning done today. Manuscript goes to the editor on Wednesday. Eep. A critique partner picked up some errors that I'm fixing today. She read the thing in about three days--said she had a hard time putting it down to make notes, but the notes she made are very helpful and may help me even after the developmental editor tears it up. I got a few more rejections. Two in one day. One of them specifically said my prose wasn't connecting with her, which really hurt, but I thanked her and will move on. Since she got that sample, my prose has improved. Moving on. I may not be around much this week with work and editing. Miss y'all, but I'll check in when I can. For now, the red pen awaits. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 The sheriff's department stole our parking space! We have parked there for church almost every week for the past 12 years! The true story is that there has always been a sign reserving the space for the sheriff's department M-F 8am to 6pm, but we could park there any other time. That sign was removed and now it just says "reserved for sheriff's department". The kids were in shock!

I'm hoping an afternoon thunderstorm will take care of the rest, but if not, I'll water when the sun isn't scalding me. Critiques done. Read about 1/4 way through an MS for a friend, and will read more tonight. Cleaned a room in the house. Promised to make steaks tonight for DH and me, but it's hot and I notawanna.

Susan in TN Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 We have gotten almost an inch of rain in the past couple days, so I'm going to leave off watering until Wednesday. I had to pick off another tomato with blossom end rot today. Makes me so sad. I don't know if they are getting too much water or not consistent water or too much fertilizer or not enough or what. I have no idea how much water a container tomato (or any other) plant needs. I am also not sure why my lavender plant won't produce flowers. The leaves are a nice green, but no blossoms. The variety I got is supposed to be happy in a container and tolerant of pretty much anything. Maybe it's getting too much water, too?

Potato salad was awesome. Baked beans.... not so much. Watermelon delicious. And the weather was perfect. Temps dropped like 20 degrees in 3 days.

We had friends who had an only child. They lived in a mobile home park, and their patio slab-thing was enclosed, such that my friend could let her dd outside to play and she'd be safe *right there.* My friend went out every morning and cleaned and scrubbed that patio so that her dd couldn't possibly be injured by, you know, dirt. And so one morning my friend saw that her dd who was out playing on the scrupulously clean patio seemed to have something in her mouth. On inspection it turned out to be a slug. That was the last time that my friend sanitized her patio. lololol 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
