Tuesday News

Good morning.  It's humid and hot here...and pretty calm...for now.  Tropical Storm Isiais is heading here later this afternoon.  Lots of rain and heavy winds are on the way. Also just heard there is a tornado watch until 4 pm. Going to be a rough day for sure. The poor restaurants that are already cash strapped have to bring in all the tables, chairs, and umbrellas set up for outdoor dining.  I'm hoping they have buckled things down next door.  Last time we had a big storm there was quite a mess. I always worry that something might blow right into our bedroom window since it is so close, but hubby says that can't happen.  I always tell him, "Don't be so sure about that."

So yesterday there were two surgeries I was concerned about.   My daughter had her bariatric surgery and all went well.  And my friend, Jack, from the center had cancer removed, and according to his wife, the doctor feels he got it all. Such good news.  Turned out to be a good day after all.

Had to do our monthly banking yesterday. What a fiasco that was. I thought we were going have to stand outdoors in the hot sun waiting for the outside window, but now they allow you in the lobby.  I was so happy to see that, but first you have to send them a text with your name and then wait in the outer lobby or your car until they call your name. Well, as I'm waiting I happened to notice that people came in after Ralph and were being taken in first. Seems he did it wrong. Some kind lady who heard her name sent the manager out to help us. She had no idea where he had  texted his name to. Grrr!!! What could have been one, two, three had turned into almost a half hour.

One of the meals I received had just plain brown rice.  I took the rice and some of the veggies that weren't to soggy, peppers, and onions and stir fried in a pan with a little low sodium soy sauce.  Tasted just like Chinese fried rice...aside from having no egg in it.

My 7th great granddaughter.  How big she is getting!

My three other female great grands. All had a birthday in June so it was celebrated together. I have to get a good updated photo of the three boys.
