Hi Colleen,
I think I got my original popper like that from the Q. I know I bought one for a friend at a kitchen store. But the picture for the one I posted says it was at WalMart-so I would try there first.
It seems like the protests for the most part are peaceful and I hope they remain so. I think there are some agitators who try to make it violent for their own agenda-which has nothing to do with what is being protested.
I think all these young people coming together will make the world and this country a better place. I think the younger generation has a whole more open minded way of seeing people and I think it bodes well for the future of this country and the world. Hopefully your little Grayson will grow up in a better world where there will be no more need for peaceful protesting since everyone will be treated equally. I too am praying for peace and hope for the future.
I am also hoping that the protests will not bring a big influx of new covid19 cases.
I too don’t know how those medical people can wear those masks and suits and gloves hour after hour day after day. They are beyond dedicated. We wore gloves to unpack groceries and by the time we were done our hands were soaking with sweat.
I forgot-did you get the AC going-I hope so as we have had ours on for about a week now.

Hi Sue,
Thank you for the heads up on the sox. I’m wearing sandals now so I am not in the market. Maybe in the fall. In fact, since I’m home most of the time and in the house I am barefoot-so I will save money on shoes this year. lol

Hi Adele,
Did you see that there have been peaceful protests all across the world? It’s quite moving. I’m starting to see more of the peaceful protesters saying they don’t want or have anything to do with the burners and looters-so hopefully those types of protests will stop. Those seem to be people with a whole different agenda-like chaos. The peaceful protesters want changes to the current systems and want to do it through legal methods. I just don’t know how you change the hearts and minds of people-I hope there will be a way.
I have had my eye on that star shirt too. I’m still thinking about it.
If you think of the name of the spots on the tonsils write it down-I’m curious about all things medical. Or just nosy. lol
Greg enjoyed golfing-probably because it got him away after being locked up with me for 2and 1/2 months. lol
He decided to join golf league again this year after all-I can’t blame him as it’s something he really enjoys and we will still be cooped up enough this summer without a lot of things to look forward to doing. So he may as well get out because before we know it winter will be here again and we will be forced indoors again. The only thing good about that will be the hope of being closer to a vaccine.
Does the aqua cardigan have a flamingo? what did the black one have?

Hi Colleen,
I always liked Elvis-not the screaming fainting kind of like but I did enjoy him and thought he had that charisma that drew people to him. You are right, Graceland is built on a beautiful piece of property-I remember the trees all around.
Greg didn’t wear a mask while golfing but they all stay far apart. It would be hard to wear-I think as we all know a mask is kind of hot as we are breathing right into it. It gives me more respect than I already had for health care workers wearing that protective gear hour after hour day after day.
I will be praying for peace and positive change going forward.
Here is a picture of a jar popper that I have. It works well.

Hi Sue,
It’s going to be hot here today. In the lower 90’s.
I hope you can get in to get a haircut. My stylist opened back up I believe-but I figured I would not try to fight all the people clamoring to get back in in June.In July she is going on vacation for two weeks so she will be really busy before she goes. So I guess it will be August before I can get in-I will probably have three inches of gray by then-but who sees me now anyway? I guess Greg does but he could care less. lol

Hi Adele,
I’m with Sonny-I like Elmo too!
I didn’t hear what Biden said about the 100,000 plus dead. It’s hard to believe our fearless leader has never extended sympathy to the families of all who have been lost. It’s all just too too sad.
Oh no-you’re putting a crane in your yard! lol Whenever we see one on TV or something we always groan because we have the heron who comes to try and feed on our fish. so we have a real live crane that we are always chasing away. lol it’s all about perspective. lol
We saw AGT-when those icky acts come on I pull my shirt over my head until they are done. lol Good thing there’s no one else here when we watch. lol
We also watched the show with Gronk and Venus-that was silly but sometimes we just need some mindless entertainment.
I see the Boston Marathon has been totally cancelled. Hopefully next year there will be a vaccine and a cure and we can do the things that we love once again. Sometimes the uncertainty of the future is the hardest-kind of like waiting for the results of a medical test. We have to hope for the best but prepare for the worst. I find I just need to pray, pray pray-then shed a few tears and then turn my face to the sun again and find my optimism. It’s a rollercoaster.
Here’s a new one. Greg is looking to hire a new mechanic so when he goes to interview him they will try to meet outdoors in a park or something and stay six feet apart. That will be unusual. I told him maybe he could figure out how to skype an interview too. That seems more professional. We’ll see what happens.
We are looking at some nice weekend weather. Low seventies and sunny.

Hi Colleen,
My brother and sister were ahead of me in school also. But they were 4 and 5 years ahead so it was probably worse for my sister being just a year behind my brother. I had teachers that had my siblings but it didn’t bother me much-sometimes it was actually an advantage if the teacher liked them. lol
I hope you get your pool open soon. the grands will probably come and use it. Jenny wants us to put in a pool so the kids can use it since the public pool is closed this year. She said she would be the pool boy. lol
