Last Notes npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 We heard the sirens. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 #SilentSunday npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Today was the day to clean up my lawn mower to be able to start it to mow Summer's front acre. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Tackled some of our outdoor chores. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Life is settled some for us now that everything around the house that was broken is fixed. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 No. She has no symptoms but it seems that some older people live in environments where their pets potty in the house. This isn't the case for us. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Summer is determined to find some fun on this drizzly early morning. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Like the design on my pie. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Mastodon is my only social media experiment. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 We haven't had much time to toot this weekend. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 You can't see all of the old dudes who are working on our deck in this photo. All are retired and want to help us get our new deck up. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 All of our lower fields are mowed. As dry as our weather is I'm glad to keep them short. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Awe. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 She enjoys a broad skill set. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Wild morning. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 The majority of our meals are foods that I prepare are made from scratch. I will reconsider my yogurt. I did pick this one because I like the flavor and texture. I avoid artificial sweetness and added salt but premium ice cream is my weakness. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I hadn't heard about that and will check it out. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 When we met with my husband's surgeon last week he offered a couple of suggestions to help my husband's body recover from massive doses of antibiotics. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I'm not the only one without a dishwasher! npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 That sounds really good! npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 We have been dilly dallying away most of the day but Summer said the garden was calling her. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 He was in Portland at General Electric. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 The newest dahlia blossoms in our garden. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Summer claimed the cresty edge. No ice cream though. 😁 npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 This is the recipe I used. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 ❤️ npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I will see if I can find a link. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 😂 npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Just handed over the last of the blueberry treats for today. Loaf of bread changed hands over the top of the fence. Summer supervised. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Second batch of blueberry goodness. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 First batch of blueberry goodness is out of the oven. Lemon blueberry loaves were next in line. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 So many chores on our list today. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I did this every summer when I was still working and I loved it. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 A few more Summer morning adventure photos. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Summer was so excited at the prospect of a beach adventure. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Something to be thankful for. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Today's dahlia blossoms in our garden. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I ordered one for Summer. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Today's weather isn't exactly fur coat compatible says Summer. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I did pick up some of the chocolate flavor so they are available if he wants a snack. He has had so much medication that nothing tastes very good. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 No. He isn't strong enough yet. We meet with his Stanford surgeon tomorrow. He will need another battery of tests to check his kidney function. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Summer knows just what to do. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I remember the first time I saw a glass elevator. It was one of my first work trips to San Francisco. Even though I am uncomfortable with heights to the point it is hard to look up at high buildings I really wanted to ride that elevator to the top. Convinced that the view from the top would be worth the queasy. The same with ski lifts, high mountain trails and flying in a small aircraft. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 It was time to cook Summer's breakfast so I left her in charge of her pal. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Update npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Summer and have the same look of concern today. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I agree that the gophers are worse than usual. I expect they are looking for water. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I took Summer out to inspect her property early this morning. She walks the line and looks for any sign of incursions. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 We embarked on a marathon project that resulted in Summer's pal getting bathed, shaved and otherwise spiffed up. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Last night was a struggle for my husband so we were awake all night. I wish I could do more to help. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I probably should have noted Napa, California. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I almost forgot to toot my favorite no Summer photos from our early morning adventure. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 The last week has been challenging. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Another almost dahlia blossom. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I finally decided to retreat to my bean bag with a book for the rest of the day. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 My husband will move to the sofa so he can hold her close. She really wants to be touching him. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I turned eighteen in 1976. Becoming an adult as opposed to an immancipated minor. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Our neighbors kept the noise up for thirty minutes or so. They are the least considerate of all the surrounding property owners. At least they weren't firing their guns this time. Summer cuddled up close to my husband on the bed and relaxed after the first few minutes. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Summer got caught. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Oh no. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Inspector Summer is supervising our slow and steady demolition of the deck. Thank goodness for the battery powered chainsaw. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I know what it was. I tried a new locally made ice cream yesterday. The emulsifier they used is practically poison for me. It is usually just in soft serve so I didn't catch it. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 We are having a really good day. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I am happy that you are happy. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 This photo was taken about fifty years ago. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I have told my kids and grandkids all their lives that life is like a roller coaster. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 A few more dahlia blossoms. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Our grandson spent the afternoon with us. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Right now our lives are quiet in a good way. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Wow! That's wild. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I have been keeping busy while hanging around home. The past couple of weeks have seen me sitting more than usual so I write postcards to potential voters. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 More Summer adventure photos from this afternoon. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I got a chance to get to know my middle grandson's girlfriend a little better the past couple of weeks. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 For reasons I don't understand I struggle to say what I want to say sometimes. When meeting new people I immediately know if I want to talk to them or not. I just know and have learned to listen to my instincts. Sometimes I am trying so hard to not say something inappropriate I fail to say anything at all. It's hard. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I think I might have secured my most favorite grandma status for the immediate future. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 A few more photos from our early morning adventure. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Summer says good morning Mastodon. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I have so many random thoughts. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Another weekend is almost done. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Made it to the campground to meet up with the grandkids. Can hardly wait to get down on the beach and pick some agates. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I went to the post office this morning. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 One more chore crossed off the list. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I was at our Costco parking lot and spotted a rare kinetic sculpture in the wild no less. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Just a random picture of Summer, as she played in the house, while her breakfast was cooking. You can't see him but my husband was playing with her. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Oh my. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 It felt funny to take a walk by myself but Summer isn't allowed at the Humboldt Bay Wildlife Refuge. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Summer's pal has has a rough last few days but is feeling better this morning. He is taking it out on Summer who doesn't mind a bit. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Spent the morning getting maintenance on my car. Hopefully we are done with car stuff for awhile. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I am so proud of my columbine. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 I can't even believe how many fancy dahlias I've ended up with this year. Four more arrived yesterday. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 The rectangle is a Tractive DOG 6. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Just in case anyone else thinks Summer is wearing a shock collar. She isn't. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 ❤️ npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 It is best to get Summer out for a good run every day. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Good morning! npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Being a caregiver to an old dude who is pretty set in his ways, especially when it comes to meals, is much like parenting. npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Caramel Quicks npub15w9ua3g8jqqnpltwc9na6lafggq54ykq0et0u5hpl2l75990eh7qp02huq Norcal Gma 2 Thank you. It is the hardest job I've ever had.
