I know you two are right about easy does it, but I am just too old to wait.  I feel like every day is wasted if I don't do something for or with someone. 
I don't know what Cal is talking about "stealing".  Nobody is stealing anything. Cal, please take another look at what you saw as stealing and let me know what it really says.
I did stop in briefly to see Mary on my way to Debbie's this evening.  Mary was working hard in her yard most of the day, and I felt like I was intruding again. I did not stay long.  She wanted to do more work even though it was getting late, so I left and went home.  I wanted to stay and help her until the sun went down.
 I don't know yet when I will see her again. It is almost 11 o'clock.  I asked her an hour ago if she would like to go with me tomorrow if it is rainy.  No reply so far.  Like I said, texting sucks.
Good night EV 1 GBU and GB Ukraine

hi you guys its 77 here 56 rainy in ice and 79 raining in kviv 74 in the barn ac been running. i just saw on our local news that swatter arrested. showed his picture not the same picture as what jim showed me yesterday on his phone and now they say this guy did all that to get his friend outta of work. not payroll shortage so good jims said not confirmed. processor again stating big charges for this guy

hi neva yes bad way to start ones life what a stupid act. just stupid. wonder what his family is saying. jim just came in i said that man you had on your phone not the one he said ya i saw that and the man who did that zachary something jim said he does not think he even works at ford his friend who he did that for to get out of work does work at ford and jim showed me his picture young and dumb too. his picture had a bunch of pencils sticking out of his nose. i said ya he looks like a ford worker.  did you get that rain? just so hot for you so hot and humid here too. go out and sweat pretty quick. indy has been in the ac barn he may be a mule but he does not like humidity at all and his fly spray out there just sweats off and he hates flies jim pushes oh he needs to go out but last time indy ran to me let jim get him and indy almost ran to the barn door. i told jim you sit out here with him but no indy in nice cool no fly barn. i hope it cools down soon at least getting thru july head in to august then sept.

hi joho i mean by stealing like what neva said a nice comfortable  relaxed friendship no pressure what you post sounds like big pressure you put on mary like you dont have much time and its gotta be her just gotta be. im only seeing your side wonder what mary thinks. sounds like from you she likes to rest likes her me time too. if you dont give her that then i call that stealing.

man arrest in ford swatting

Ok Cal, No more stealing.  I will stay right here with you and Neva and wait for her to call.  She just has so much to do every day, and so many friends interrupting her. Which she loves.  It is like she is the Queen of her corner kindly dispensing love and understanding to all who wander by.   She is consumed by the end of the day. She has no time for herself until way after dark when she has no energy left.
 She can barely even keep up with her phone and Facebook notes. 
I was amazed this morning.  I sent her a note on messenger telling her to look in here, because we are talking about her.  Then I clicked off and went to bed until now.  This morning I see that she answered my note last night within a few minutes, but I missed it by just a second.  Seems I always miss her messages.
 
 Last night she was disappointed that she had not finished trimming her hedge.  She was tired and could not do it all like she used to.  I would do it for her, but she won't let me.  She takes it as a challenge to maintain her beautiful yard and she does not want any help.  She asked me if I am not bored, because I no longer have to do yard work.  I don't miss it a bit.  While I could not walk I became used to doing a lot on here and driving around to see different places.  This has grown old now.  Joan has been gone now for a while and I want to be with people more than in the past few years.

Well coffee and cereal and lots of pills and BG reading are waiting.  So I will do puzzle later when I am awake more.
 
Look!!!  I am addicted.  So I did the puzzle before I hung up.  Time is not great at 5:15, but not horrible either.

Hi EV1,  It is six pm already.  I am on my own again all day except for you guys.  I am starting to think of what is for dinner.  Not sure yet. Started to get a Marcos pizza last night.  Never made it. Went home and cut up a tomato and onion on a bologna sandwich instead.  Did that again at lunch today.  Now though I am out of both tomato and onions.
 I don't feel like going out for food now.  So I will probably have some Campbell's chicken noodle soup and cheese and salami on Nickle's Italian bread.  I love that big soft bread, and not just because it sticks to my catfish rig either.
My couch was spotted.  I took off the covers and put them in my wash load.  To get them back on I put them in 40 gallon garbage bags from Debbie and used my Oreck cannister vacuum to suck them down to a pancake.  Then I easily put them back into the covering.  I cut the outer end off the plastic bag to let them expand, and zipped them in.  I left the bag inside.
 Now they are clean.  I did this because I could not turn them over.  They have a Velcro strip to hold them in place.  I hope the plastic inside does not make me sweat when I am lying on the couch in my favorite position. Napping! LOL Not sure what is next if it is not comfortable.  Debbie already says get a new couch due to age.
 I hear lots of thunder right now.  So I will sign off and go watch the storm gather.

  Fall Sky ...  32:55     111° (back porch)   Sunny, hazy clouds, windy.  Yesterdays potential cloud build up blew away - no rain.

I hope all is well in your day.

Cal ...  first of all, I LOVE that piece of art, it is brilliant! 💕  (handrail)  Thanks for posting that.   

You've given me something to think about - negotiator.  I had not thought of myself as one, let alone a good one.  Thanks.  Maybe raising my five gave me some practice. 

Joho  ...  You know a lot of people, friends and family.  In your case, it sounds like a blessing, and Mary is one of them.  Maybe gradually you will see more of her.  Give it time and patience.   My two oldest friends don't live in Arizona.  It is computer with one of them and snail mail with the other... or phone.

6:57 Lamp reminds us Fall is coming.    Good dog.  He helps mom not to miss out on life on the weekends.  Then sleeps because his job is done. I was up at five or six, but could not stay awake.  So now I am getting a second start on this beautiful morning.
Nice to see you all here.
I did not see Mary, or anyone else all day yesterday.  We did have a loud and very wet storm roll through lateish, but it is all dry this morning around here.
 My little posies that Debbie put in for me are doing better.  They seemed to be less robust than I expected.  My favorite garden administrator, Mary, has recommended daily supplements of water.  I will do this when I water my patio garden consisting of one potted cherry tomato.  I gave Debbie a fist full of ripe ones and have not heard any comments from her. I will ask today how she liked them?  If she liked them as much as I do there will be additional plants next year.  Maybe a few at her house too. LOL
OK now all that same morning stuff is waiting.  So I will say CUL EV1 GBU and GB Ukraine

  Lamp ...  28:18   106°  (1:02 pm)   Clear and sunny.  Light breeze.

I hope all are having a good day.

Hi Cal  ...   I have a friend in Des Moines, she has a smallish home and pays nearly twice what I pay.  We can't figure out why, and I hate to think what would happen if they raised it.  She is 86.   I'm glad to hear that the people are fighting it in Jackson Co.

Hi Joho ...  During summers like we are having, sometimes even the cactus and other desert plants suffer, burn shrivel a bit, and we really need to water the ones on our property.  Hard to believe, but true.  As I watched the weather on the local news last night, a guy came on to remind people that their cactus also need a bit of help.  In my mind, I had sudden images of Sand Dunes.  What if our normal desert growth eventually died out?  🫤 

[calihoula]

hi neva for sure everyone needs to water the cactus and what else may need it your normal growth died out




and lots of jackson county people are elderly and lots not lots of money we have our place paid for but home insurance taxes alone like having a house payment then got elec propane pet food etc i would think homes be cheaper in iowa i hope they do not raise hers! our gov in mo did a bill if you are senior getting ss cant raise your taxes but catch is up to each county to do that course they want the money

Another very long day alone waiting for answers that never came. Now I can't wait to go to sleep and let this crummy day end. 
Tried to do one thing.  Change my furnace filter after two long years of use.  It is a huge $35 filter.  I was told by some furnace man that a standard filter could replace it.  So I bought the nearest standard size there is.  It does not work.  I had to put the old one back in.  Now I need to find a replacement filter.  This one was put in by a furnace repairman who came to do a recall repair, but never did it.  He said it could not be done.  So he put in the filter , shut the door, and charged me $45.  After two years of miscellaneous banter, a young guy that did not know it could not be done did it in about twenty minutes.  Now I have a brand new filter I will never use and can't find anyone to give it too.
I did do one other thing.  I went to Drugmart for a prescription and some bread and milk.  Even this was a flop.  I got the prescription and the last loaf of their white bread, but they had none of the milk I use.  I went to get a tomato for sandwiches.  Of course they had none today.  I did buy some green beans for $3.50.  First time for me.  I ate a bunch of them for dinner.  I boiled them with chopped onion for 10 minutes and put on lots of butter, salt , pepper, and some parmigan cheese.
What a wasted day.  Beautiful weather all day, but I did not even ride my bike.
I did look in on the bears and chat with Marge some.  It is nice to finally see the bears out and about again.  Tasha was out on Pond Cam. Something was troubling her. She kept running off into the woods. Well that is all I have to say right now.
BTW water did seem to perk up my posies.  I imagine it is harder to tell if a cactus is responding to sprinkling.  GN Now.  GBU and GB Ukraine.
