Best wishes to your daughter, and good luck with your life Out There. I’ll be praying for your family, and I hope we see you again!
Morning, all.
I only managed to get 150 pages read before my eyelids slammed shut last night.
We had a pretty healthy rain last night, so I went out to check my stuff on the patio to find that even though things were covered, and the bottom row was all plastic tubs, one of the boxes has a wet corner.
I can’t figure it out. The rain would have had to come in sideways, from the direction of the house....
Wow! At least you got some rain.
We’re meeting another family at “Discovery Place” later this morning, and this evening the Cub Scouts have a picnic, so I won’t be around much today.
Hope you’re feeling better than you were yesterday!
We got just a little over 1/3” “officially.” That still puts us down by 2-1/2” for the year so far. Still, every little bit helps. Rain is forecast for all of the next week, so hopefully, we’ll begin to erase the bathtub ring at the lake. ;o]
Surprisingly, Vegas Valley has LOTS of kid-friendly places where they can explore everything from science and technology to nature, and everything in between. And of course, there is always Mt. Charleston, or Kyle Canyon.
Oddly enough, I slept almost five hours solid last night, which is pretty unusual for me. I wake up every couple of hours. (Part of CFIDS.) But I do feel a little better. I seem to have slept away the gray lint that was bothering my brain for a few days.
Have fun at the Discovery Place! I think I learned enough by taking my grandsons as I did when I was in science classes in school!
Good Morning!
Howdy!
How are things going today? Is your wife feeling better?
Getting ready for work...;o(
Wifey is over it for the most part.
I hope she feels better soon. It’s no fun to be laid up when you’re used to functioning in high gear.
Are you getting any rain?
I wish we were getting rain....We only get the privilege of high humidity today. Heavily overcast now, but it will burn off after a couple of hours.
Actually, thats a good thing...we stripped the old linoleum off the floor in our den/office, and now the whole house has the smell of the 50+ year old adhesive....the cooler weather lets us keep all the doors and windows open to vent.

What is your pick??? (Pick before you scroll down .... Do Not CHEAT!!!)
ORANGE - If orange is your favorite fruit, it speaks of a person who has enduring patience and willpower. You like to do things slowly, but very thoroughly and are completely undaunted by hard work. You tend to be shy, but are reliable and trustworthy friend. You have an aesthetic bent of mind. You select your partner with care and you love with all your heart, and not in for just a fling. You avoid conflict at all costs
APPLE - If apple is your favorite fruit, you are an extravagant, impulsive and outspoken person, often with a bit of a temper. While you may not be the best organizer yourself, you make a good team leader and are good at taking things forward. You can take quick action in most situations. You enjoy travel immensely. You ooze with charm when you are with your partner. You have an enthusiasm for life, unmatched by most.
BANANA - You are a softy! Loving, gentle, warm and sympathetic by nature is the banana lover. You often lack in self-confidence and are quite timid by nature. People often take advantage of your sweet temperedness, and sheer vulnerability to a situation. You adore your partner in every which way, both for their mental and physical beauty! Because of the way you are, your relationship is always very much in harmony!
COCONUT - The coconut lover is a serious, very thoughtful and contemplative person. Though you enjoy socializing, you are particular about the company you keep. You tend to be stubborn but not necessarily foolhardy. Shrewd, quick-witted and alert, you ensure that you are right on top of any given scenario, especially at work. You need a partner with brains, and while passion is important it certainly isn't everything for you.
PINEAPPLE - You are quick to decide and even quicker to act. You are brave in asking career changes, if that is what is to your advantage. You have exceptional organizing abilities and are undaunted by the size of the task at hand. You tend to be self reliant, sincere and honest in your dealings with others. Though you are not given to making friends very quickly, but once you do, it is for life. Your partner is often impressed with your sterling qualities but disappointed in your ability to show affection. However, you love deeply and hurt hard.
PAPAYA - You are truly fearless and take much that happens in life in your stride. You give considerable thought to things you do. You have a sense of humor that, along with your generous nature, keeps you in most people's good books. You are a go-getter in your professional life, and have a knack for being in the right place at the right time. You enjoy meeting new people and seeing new sights whenever you can. Your sense of humor is what attracts members of the opposite sex to you more than anything else. It is simply charming!
MANGO - A mango lover is a personality to beckoned with; quite often, you are a person who has quite fixed ideas, and influencing you is not an easy task. You tend to be an extremist with strong likes and dislikes, and at times even like to control a situation. You enjoy getting involved in something that presents mental challenge. Strong as you may be, you are like a kitten when you are with your partner. You accommodate the love of your life, and make up for all the strong will elsewhere!
CHERRY - If cherry is your favorite fruit, life isn't always as sweet for you. You often face ups and downs, particularly professionally, and find that you make small sums of $$$, instead of a lump sum. You have a fertile imagination and are often involved in creative pursuits. You are a very sincere and loyal partner, but find that expressing your feelings is not very easy. Your home is your haven, and you love nothing more than being surrounded by close family and your beloved partner.
BLACK GRAPES - You are a polite person in general, but do have quick flare-ups of temper that cool down just as quickly. You enjoy beauty in all forms, including beautiful people. You are very popular because of your warm, gregarious nature. You have a zest for life; you enjoy everything you do, right from the way you dress, to your style and your day-to-day life. Your partner must share your zeal and zing for life to enjoy all you have to offer!
PEACH - Like a peach, you enjoy the juice of life & all its lush ripeness! You are the friendly sort, and are quite frank and outspoken, which adds to your charm. You are quick to forgive and forget; and value your friendships highly. You have an independent and ambitious streak in you that make you a real go-getter. You are the ideal lover, fiery and passionate but sincere and faithful in love. You don't, however, like to display all that passion in public.
CUSTARD APPLE - You are a modest and conservative person who can be quite sensitive at times. You tend to be thoughtful and contemplative, and therefore are rarely rash in doing things. You are quite ambitious and are good at anything that requires much detailing or working with numbers. You are quick at finding fault with others. While looking for a partner, you value a person's intellect far above their looks or good old passion. You are quite shy and not very comfortable demonstrating affection.
PEAR - If you put your mind to something you can do it successfully, but by and large you tend to be fickle and have trouble completing a task with the enthusiasm you started it with. You need to know the results of your efforts almost immediately. You enjoy mental stimulation and love to get into a good discussion! You tend to be a restless and high-strung person, and are easily excited Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect! It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections!
fyi, i used to have a mango TREE in my side-yard when i was "down south". MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM,MMMMMMMM, GOOD! (the tree-ripened ones are REALLY sweet!!! the ones from the grocery store, that we get here, are a POOR substitute, but better than nothing.)

I almost went for the banana, until I saw the pear....both kind of fit though.
So would that make you a pearana?
Somehow, I knew you would fit the mango profile! LOL!
Whataguy!

Oi!
*ugh*
if you came to VZ when i was there, i'd have offered you a mango, straight off the tree. (fyi, "a mango" has more than ONE meaning "down south".)
free dixie SMOOCH,sw
LOL!
That looks like a Nitrofish!
Er...
OK! I’ll take your word about the mango. I do like fruit fresh from the tree, for sure. I was in heaven when I was a kid because we had peach, apricot, cherry and apple trees. And a plum tree, too!
Of course, these days, I don’t buy much fruit. It tastes like cardboard.
*smooch*
