CLynn   'Find your inner purr.' Truer words - never spoken. LOL Sam/Sophie and the spray bottle.  Nice snaps of Talon / Bella on last day of school.
Did I miss how the chiropractor visit went? Hope all's well.
I bet they can't wait for Wednesdays with Grandma /Grandpa. You always have such fun and interesting activities for them.
Bailong Elevator,  whoa!   What an engineering marvel  certainly be worth a visit and a few rides.


Tsk a nice massage would be purrfect.  Cute for Caturday. Rhubarb & strawberry sauce over ice cream  would be yummy
Glad to here the repot of Christmas cactus went well


Karen 'Congrats' on your 1 yr anniversary-- being back on your own again ! 

OG Relieved you  and that tornado missed each other. Truly hope there weren't any injuries/fatalities. Tks for tunes. Good luck at cards tonight if you have a game.


Lisa Hey! There's Bandit.  Nah...Phillipina is a sweetheart.

Bazi tks for the family news and update/snaps

Puff that Italian  beef sand  sounds really delish. Goin' South of the Border tonight for us.

Lori pretty yellow floral birthday greeting for SSRL, cute puppies. And, that white choco blueberry cupcake--- enough to go 'round?
Hope you Dad, Destini, your grandmother  and you are doing well.

BAZI  Didn't know that about starting a new Xmas cactus if frond falls off.  I thought I would have a lot that I inadvertently broke but not so.      LOLOLOL  " Carbon dating"       " Tap your card"  LOLOL     And a fun time was had by all kindergartners .  Lil Bro looks chilly in that 3rd pic     Nice pics of the other sets of twin greats.  That view is breathtaking.

I be sore... arms n shoulders from supporting my weight up n down stairs n ramps n such today. Then, I lay down on a real bed for the first time in 2 months to take a nap. I put a pillow under my knees but my hips were not happy. The good news is the compression ankle socks worked well! Yay!

KB - our cabin neighbors arrived - from Iowa - they said they endured 45 minutes of rain north of Mpls. I wonder if we got any of that in our northeast end?

Ok... SED   maybe   
OOO.... a loon call....

[Puff]

Sounds like you have an oldie but goodie with that cactus tsk.  Definitely in need of tending to it sounds like.  Did you say which one?  Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving?
BTW since I went for their $5.99 beef sandwich today, I also tried Buono's salad.  For $10.99 you get a small slice-of-pie size plastic salad serving of their strawberry/avocado/chicken salad.
Reject!  Not only too small, there's no good taste, actually no taste. 
Buono is still family owned Dad, Wife, 3 boys.  They're thinking of going franchise. . .Maybe  the rest of the beakers will have a chance to try it.  Their Italian beef I highly recommend; and, make sure you get it baptized (?).

Portillo's is the hot dog champ!  They are also the chopped salad champ.  $12.99 but enough for two meals.  They are now all over the country, too.  They are now individually owned.  Joe sold to corporate and things are not quite great now IMHO.  But I'd still urge you all to try the chopped salad.

KB You've got a landscape talent, and a lot of stamina.     I think you have yard fever like I do, it can be really satisfying and a beautiful end product.  That being said, I still haven't finished.  4 chores and a luncheon today - tomorrow rain again.  The rest of the week looks promising that I can finish this week.  Because of the lunch today I did my nails last night.  That is what's left of them.  Time to start growing a new crop of nails now.  You're finished outside too aren't you tsk?  You both make me feel late?

baz Your staircase to the clouds made me gasp.  My first thought was " /scary haunted house - but stairs I dubbed killers.  Similar reaction, same idea.

And the NC/vacay pictures show everyone having some nice times.  It also showed a lot of missing front teeth.    Must be contagious.  LOL

tig - It's likely you did get rain...but not sure. We didn't get any, even though radar showed rain on top of me it didn't reach the ground, so hard to say.

Enjoy your fishing!

Thanks, Puff - it is satisfying and enjoyable to be outside really. I'm not a golfer and never understood what the enjoyment was. Scott always said it's the "being outside" part.

[Lani]

adorable

Tsk, rhubarb and strawberries! YUM! Good luck with the Christmas Cactus... just read the repotting went well! YAY!

Kb, your yard and garden is lovely... awww love black bear....

Lisa, Mike's good, thanks. 

Baz, love your family pics... adorable baby bro isn't a baby anymore... beautiful family, stunning view ... carbon dating... both the house/stairs scares me. LOL!

Tig, have a great time.. I hope the skeeters stay away.

SED Puff, Eagles

Good Morning Everyone ! 
Sunday blessings.




Currently: 69F mostly cloudy;  High  88F rain showered  Low 69F


 
Yesterday Jim got up early-ish, drove to Wendys' for breakfast, returned and planted the four Cyprus I bought to replace the azaleas  that weren't working
out on that side of the garage. That sure looks so much nicer. The two that did remain I transferred to the back  on the left-hand side of the landscaping
surrounding the deck. Then he did some more trimming at the end of the front porch.  Just some light weeding left . 

   Lani sweet, well fed lioness and cub.

Good Morning Beakers!



Lani, cute videos you posted, that sweet dog and cat hugging each other, and how a mouse must feel when the cat is out there! Hope you and Mike and the furries are doing well! Mike is home this week right?  Gorgeous lions!

Phyl, the kids stopped by yesterday to bring me my birthday present, they told me it wasn't ready on my birthday. They each made me a gift at a place called Glazed Expressions. It's a place where you can paint ceramic items and have them glazed. They were both so proud of their work, especially Talon! He painted the eagle, Bella painted the gnome. My, the baby bluebirds have grown! This is the second batch, right?  And it's fledge watch already? Jim is a trooper, for sure. I hope he is taking lots of breaks!  Ed works for half an hour and takes a 2 hour break! 


tsk, yay on getting the cactus re-potted! Mom has a couple of large ones, I transplanted one of them when I was home in April. She has kept them going for years (and years!)! strawberry and rhubarb goes well together, Mom always makes jam. Yum!

baz, great pictures of all the little ones, Punkin' is looking good and Lil Bro is a cutie! They all look so happy!

Lisa, I wouldn't mess with Phillipina either! She doesn't look very happy!

karen, you're doing so good since you've been home! And you passed your driving test!  Watch out everyone!  LOLOL!

Niagara Falls without water, 1969
For six months in 1969 North Americas most iconic waterfall was purposely “de-watered”.
This was done by the US army corps of engineers, because they wanted to conduct a geological survey of the falls’ rock face.
They were concerned that it was becoming too destabilized from erosion.
In order to do this the army had to built a 600ft (182 m) dam across the Niagara River.
This dam consisted of 27,800 tons of rock.
In November 1969 in front of 2,650 spectators, the temporary dam was dynamited, restoring the flow of water.

TIG  Ouch start to your vacay. 

PUFF   Who owns the Buono Beef near me? in Rosemont or DesPlaines?  Never done with yardwork  LOL  Did some major weeding yesterday.  Found 3 monarch eggs altho Tim only has seen the monarchs    Am not sure these early ones are viable tho.  We shall see.  Kind of early.

PHYL  Cyprus ?  I only know cyprus as a tree?  Such different coloring when the bluebirds are babies 

CLYNN  Bright yellow Sunday    - dark gloomy day. LOL  What wonderful gifts from the kids.  Yes Talon did a great job on the eagle.
For all the work the Army corps of engineers did I hope they got the results they wanted from the geological survey 

[Puff]

tsk Last word I got ala Ton was that Buono was still family owned and operated.  Joe and wife have 3 middle-aged boys who were in charge of operations.  There are/were plans to sign into a franchise arrangement, still maintaining ownership of name and operations.  Of course that was at least a year ago per Ton.

Portillo's went the other way - Kids didn't want to continue so he sold name/business to a corporate group (?).  Dick started cutting back about 10  years ago.  He also had a couple fine dining fish restaurants, KeyWester, one in Naples, FL, and one in Naperville, Route 59.  Naper closed and finally was razed about 3 or 4 years ago.  Great selections, good food?!  Not sure about FL.

Trying to straighten out in old mind - one guy started on Taylor/Canal, one started in Villa Park.

Looks like my paper is going to get soaked.  Usually here by 6 am.  And. . . now it's getting ready to pour.
