Wish someone would give me some purple hull peas, those are my favorite! You’re very fortunate .

Mine too, and yes, I am. I don't remember ever having them until I pulled some out of Perry's pantry last year. I thought they were delicious.

We ended up canning 15 pints last night, but he wants more. He is the fortunate one because he has a friend who gives them to him. I am still happy that they were already shelled.

I took a little nap yesterday afternoon because I was so tired. I guess it messed me up because I took short naps all night long. Finally, I got up and started working on a jigsaw puzzle. I do not like starting the day off like this, but then again, it can only go up from here. (I hope)

Good morning Rat2 and lurkers
Sorry for your restless night Rat2 I slept well with one trip to the bathroom.

Good evening all, it is currently 100 degrees here at 6 p.m. . Just keeps getting hotter and hotter longer and longer.

Just finished supper, strip steak with baked potatoes and green beans.

Good afternoon everyone

Happy Belated Birthday, Dale Hope you had a great day!! I’m sorry you are having to deal with all that heat. Be safe on that e bike!

Rat2, you were correct, Dh says thank you for the bday wishes Glad you had a nice road trip. I’m all for the beach…let’s go!

Yay for a successful first week retired! Hope it continues to be smooth sailing. $144,000 for a car is criminal! Smh!

We didn’t make it to Virginia this summer but instead rented a lake house in Honeoye, NY with my parents and bro/sil. We even brought Lucy with us. It was a lot of fun and we are considering renting the same place next summer. (It was on airbnb, vrbo and a couple other sites, Rat2 I chuckled when you said your friend cleans for them) it was exactly as advertised and we were thrilled as first time vacationers in that world lol I will try to upload a pic. So relaxing I could have stayed the rest of the summer.

Off tomorrow, celebrating our 20th anniversary. China is the traditional gift so we are having Chinese for dinner Hope everyone had a great day! I’m working on unpacking/laundry and a quick groc list.

Hi Sara! What a nice looking place, I’m glad you all had a great time

Yeah the e-bike is on hold until it cools off a bit. Mornings wouldn’t be so bad but coming home in the afternoon would be brutal.

Happy anniversary to you and your DH

I have been missing an old friend (Kay, Old Broad), and today is her birthday. I found out from her granddaughter that she passed away (peacefully) in February of 2024. I was not surprised because her Alzheimer's had gotten pretty bad, as well as her COPD, but it still saddens me. She was such a wonderful lady and so very funny. I am posting it here because I imagine y'all might have known of her, too.

On a happier note, I could not wait til winter to eat the purple hull peas, so I had them last night with meatloaf. Um, Um, Um.

They were delicious and not just because I helped to can them. We only had 16 pints to can, and Perry would love to get some more. I want more too! My favorite.

I remember the name but didn’t know her personally, I’m sorry for your loss

I haven't checked lately, but NW New Mexico has been running around 100f all day

Ooh, I bet that would be good. We went to the Moose tonight and I had a taco salad. Perry's salsa was awesome on it. I only ate half so I brought the rest home. Perry got two tacos and could only eat one of them. I guess supper is going to be leftovers tomorrow night.

You have my sympathy, it’s been a rough summer for many of us. I know those up north aren’t used to these temperatures, even us in Arkansas aren’t used to multiple weeks of triple temps.
