Yesterday was an interesting day. I took my Mom to a Dr.'s appointment in Des Moines.

Hanging around hospitals and medical plazas is always interesting. You see such an eclectic mix of people. I had a funny conversation with an elderly man, while waiting. He asked if I was just out of the military....he said I looked like a military guy and that I had...

For all his peculiarites, he really was a nice old guy and I enjoyed talking to him.

that is wonderful. i love it when that happens, because alot of people who start random public conversations are actually not that fun to talk to. but once in awhile you get a good bean.

on the karate topic, i have missed two lessons, which means i haven't been for over a week. the tummy sickness last night made it quite prohibitive. i look forward to tomorrow night's session, and after that i should make it a goal to attend five sessions in a row. then i wouldn't feel like such a slacker!

My weekend was busy and tiring, but oh some much fun.

A weeny roast topped off Saturday night. It was a comfortable evening and cookin' your own hotdog over open hot coals is always fun. Baked beans, chips, cool drinks and a hard rock to finish off with....Mmmmmmmm!

A few sprinkles on Sunday morning didn't bode well for the car show, that a group that...

I'll be around more now. I disappeared for so long due to a drama-rama. But I missed you all so much, and am glad to be back. kiss
darklis:
We have to leave it up to the lords of SG. I'm sure it will be fixed soon enough.

Did you hear about the plane crash at the Toronto airport this afternoon? I was driving on the highway beside when it happened. It was so scary. skull

Kind of a busy weekend ahead...lots to do!

The weather will be warming back up a bit and returning to normal summer fare, but it was sure nice to have 2-3 days of respite from the heat. I'm sure the place exists somewhere, with almost perfect year around weather.....I gotta do some research!

Late last night, I dug out a few of my old vinyl...

Yesterday and today are just about perfect summer days here....so not normal and different than the last 2 weeks. Windows wide open and cool air circulating....gotta love it!

i KNOW! it's been the same here! after all that rain on tuesday, the past two days have been gorgeous in kansas!

also, i have some produce pictures to add to your corn ones. i talked to the receptionist and turns out i didn't even have to ask for more tomatoes. she had them at the ready!

aren't they beautiful? (the yellow ones are supposed to be that way).


sophie:

Today is absolutely picture perfect in almost every way....especially for late July!

I have a short road trip planned for this afternoon, so the wind in my face will feel pretty good.......

I refuse to post recent candids of myself, until I can get back to my "fightin' weight"......which I'm struggling with and not doing very well at. I'm just vain enough about my appearance to refrain from posting pics. It's the one area where I don't feel very good about myself right now. You're going to have to just take my word for it, that I exsist.



I've got an exercise system I could turn you on to that'd get you back there if you're lacking means. Fifteen minutes a day, no equipment needed, old-time bodyweight stuff.

Being co-conspirators can be sexy. I know that you certainly are and I'm trusting in your good judgement that cklarock is too....



(kisses self) Eeeeeeyeah! Whoo, I'm tho thexay. I'm going to get mythelf drunk and thee if I can't thcore.

A nice cool rain is falling this morning....almost an inch so far. We're supposed to havea few days of cooler temps through the week....I can hardly wait.

My tummy has been getting it's fill of sweetcorn for the last few days. It's been soooooooo good. Today for lunch I'm going to fix beer brats and sweetcorn....the perfect summer time menu.

Not sure what all I'm...

The full moon came up so slow and lazily last night....it had a yellow/orange color that reminded me of a fall full moon.....I think it was the humdity and dust in the atmosphere that gave it it's color. By midnight, it was riding high in the sky and had finally turned it's brilliant white. The locusts finally quieted down, but I could hear the night...

Thats a cool thing about you, that you'd actually recognise the species, maybe its a little strange its a male one but they have the most striking feathers, even though the females are still beautiful I dont think ti would have the same effect. Someone else was saying to me that there are going to be amazing skys and sunsets and things this week because of some astronomical phenomena, maybe the different moon is something to with that.
annalee:
Damn its not actually this week its in three weeks, Im talking crap! tongue

I'm a little lost as to a great journal entry today....please forgive me.

Perhaps something will transpire today that will give me inspired fodder for tomorrows entry......


Until then....

Practically every day, I think of something that would be great to post here....practically every morning when I update, I can't remember what I thought was so great to post about, from the day before.......I think my brain must reboot overnight, losing everything stored in memory. frown

I was able to get out on the bike for a couple of hours yesterday....it was good to get...

i bet you could make some killer Cremed corn or roasted corn salsa or relish, or how about jalapino corn bread with roasted corn?
kristie:
I do that, too! I plan out the journal in my head, and then it comes out as, "I have a headache today. Do you?"

Hello, by the way. I'm Kiki. I read your comments in Sophie's journal.
