Programming it into my car this morning was the best feeling. 89X Thank You!

Love their music!

When your 81yo dad starts messaging links to a recipe his grandma made, you make it. His grandma Caroline lived til 99yo, and I remember eating cruzciki. I'll be taking Hawaiian Punch as well, that's what GGMa served with it.

I applied for my passport on July 17. No travel plans nor did I expedite. It arrived at my house on August 1.
Now, where to go first? Not that I can afford international travel right now other than a quick day trip to Canada.

Lol, right? My oldest is one of the oldest GenZ. He'll be 28 in September. My other 3 are 26, 24, and 22. All old enough, though none have kids yet.

My daughter is on her university logging sports team.

At the grocery store this morning, a single can of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls was $5.99. I only looked because I had a coupon for $1 off 2. Um, no. The Annie's were $7.99.
Thank goodness I can bake. I'm going to make a batch of cinnamon rolls on Sunday.

I don't do artificial sweeteners but think soda is too sweet. I wish Coke would make a cola with literally half the sugar they currently use and no added fake sweeteners. I currently drink sparkling water that only has a little juice added. But I really miss cola.

If you are heading out to SDCC this week, stop in and say Hi to my peeps at Rupp's Comics (1101), Aspen Comics (2320) and Alex Ross Art (2415).

2 cats, one on a red pillow sticking his tongue out. The other sleeping slightly under the pillow.

The comments on news stories in Ohio are ridiculous. "I'll just buy Ohio tomatoes, they're the best!". Who the frack do they think picks them? Not to mention the other produce we grow in our short season.

I've followed them for years (back on X)and they are amazing. A great mix of humor and education with a little bit of football in the fall.

I came here to say that! My parents both worked so i grew up on mostly instant mashed potatoes. Our potato masher made dozens of gallons of OJ each year, but only mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving.

I forget what the item was but it was something I bought for $2.79 on sale from $3.29 one week. 2 weeks later it had a new shelf sticker saying "new low price!" Only it was now $4.79. Same item. Same size. Same packaging.

Our awesome kids and our fabulous family and friends celebrating today just made it wonderful.

Compared to the shit show that is our nation at the moment, my husband and I celebrate 30 years this weekend. The house we live in is where we had our first kiss as teens. Our friends and family helped us celebrate today.

On my list to visit when I go to Maine!

Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge in NW Ohio is an awesome place for bird watching. When I was a teenager in the early 90s, there were only 4 Bald Eagle nests in NW Ohio, now there are hundreds. Most are a result of the hard work of the staff at the refuge. Education and protection of nests.

A, hilarious
B, my bird feeder has solar. My cats would probably love if I brought it inside lol

Fresh picked radish in a hand

My garden gave me this perfect radish. It's in my cooler (on vacation) to be in my dinner salad tonight.

I have that same mug at work.

I always dreamed of being a photographer for National Geographic!

Park Naturalist or Historian in a small but fascinating National Park.
Small town bakery and used bookstore owner in either the UP or Fingerlakes.

Family is in town from out of state.

A yellow iris in an overgrown flower bed.

I was gifted some iris bulbs last year. I didn't think they took, but just discovered this one about 45 minutes ago. I planted 6, told purple or yellow and a yellow one is so far all I see.

I appreciate my city workers today. Someone hit a skunk in front of my house at 6am and the city roadkill crew had it cleaned up by 1pm. Smelly work but very much appreciated!
