Saturday

September 3, 2022 at 8:54 am by Claudia

Cooler nights, lately. But it’s still warm during the day – today, it will be 85 degrees. It looks like we’re getting rain on Monday, so I just might have a rainy drive home from Rochester. Annoying, but outweighed by my gratitude for the rain.

I hope you have a lovely holiday weekend.

Deb commented yesterday and told us the heart procedure went very well and she’s under doctor’s orders to rest for the next few days. Good news!

I’m working on another puzzle while getting ready to drive to Rochester tomorrow. Today, some errands, filling up the tank with gas, and some laundry.

I won’t be posting on Sunday and Monday, but I’ll be back on Tuesday morning.

Stay safe.

Happy Saturday.

    so happy for and thanking God for deb and her good news! i feel relief for deb so can imagine how much more relief she feels. :)

    glad if you get some rain … just hope it won’t be when you are driving. have a safe trip there and back.

    bit of rain here lately … i love it and, like you, am grateful for it. even just an overcast day as a break from the hot sun is nice (to me).

    waiting for oil change now. not what i want to do at 7 am on a saturday morning, but good to get it done.

    hope you, don and everyone else here have a nice weekend. happy labor day and stay safe.

    Thanks for letting us know about Deb! Good news for sure. Rain here today…and we are supposed to go to a Badger football game today with friends. May have to rethink that, guess we’ll make a last minute decision.

    Travel safe this weekend….hope all goes well!! ;)

      Wondered if you went to the game? What a crazy weather day! Our daughter has season tix and had already sold hers for the game today. Always wonder how Meteorologists can be wrong so often and still keep their jobs… all morning they were saying “possible rain in the aft”. As they were saying that, it was thundering and just pouring rain! Crazy. Hope you had fun if you went!!

    Your porch is such a tranquil spot.

    I vowed today not to comment on our Southern Calif heatwave; I’m obsessed with weather!

    Wishing safe and enjoyable travels to and from; that your time in Rochester is good.

    Looking forward to hearing from you again on Tuesday.

    Thanks for recommending Mick Herron. Once again you have given me a great author to follow. I just finished A Gentleman In Moscow and loved that one too. Have a safe and productive trip and we’ll be here when you return.😊

    Thank you again Claudia and everyone else that sent their prayers and good wishes. It was much appreciated! Claudia, have a safe road trip back to Rochester. Maybe take some photos along the way if there are any fall colors starting, for us people who have never been to New York. Take care!

      Too early for fall colors! I don’t think our colors are going to be great this year because of the drought.

      Stay safe and rest up.

    We’re having a heat wave up here in Alberta, Canada. Today, the high will be 38 degrees Celcius which translates to 100.4 degrees Farenheit. Our hottest day all Summer and very rare in the month of September!

    Hope you have a restful holiday weekend!

      Heat waves everywhere this summer!

      I’m off to work for two days on a show, driving a total of 11 hours. It won’t be very restful!

      Stay safe, Chy.

    All the best for Deb’s recovery and healing.<3

    And, good you are feeling improved as well Claudia.

    Your doll family are a joy to see along with your latest edition Harper Claire, bringing in quite the

    flair with her cool hair colouring! Your photograph's (not only of the dolls) just radiate beauty

    in the nature and life about you and are so lovely and calming.

    Thank-you and much Love

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
