If I could waterski, I would be doing it right this minute, but with both hands unlike the Ice Princess. Just returned from hours of pickleball, showered, had a banana for lunch, and placed an Instacart order for delivery. Thawing baby back ribs for dinner. Too hot to go out to dinner with hubs, so decided to eat in our air conditioned house. Canceled our reservations. Too bad. This new restaurant has a pretty outdoor dining area and delicious food, and I so wanted to wear my new jewelry for the first time. Such is life and more time to relax and watch the birds, butterflies, and lightning bugs later tonight.

Actually, it sounds like you have a lovely dinner planned--we are so smoky out right now that it is better to be indoors as well--I hope you enjoy your evening!!

@divalounger Unfortunately, we will be getting Henri in about 12 hours. Category 1 and slow moving. I hope our cable returns before your daughter has her baby.

I’m so sorry you have all that nasty smoke. Don’t feel bad. We may get a hurricane Sunday. And thank you! Try to enjoy your evening, too.

You are flexible too and not worth going out when the weather is not kind.

I was out for hours playing pickleball today in the heat and humidity. I felt faint after my shower.

She is really enjoying herself, water skiing looks like a lot of fun:) Our neighbor plays pickle ball, now there are teams that Clifford set up in Tawas. Dianne, we finally got the stone on the front, but it still needs grouting. I cut the ferns off to give Jay enough room to walk. They will come up again next year:)

So true! I was sweating like a pig at pickleball - excuse me - glistening lol. We all were. Thanks! She couldn’t ski when she was at camp 2 years ago due to her broken ankle. So happy she had a happy summer.

It isn't really hot here but has been humid. It is a little better now that the rain has gone through. Maybe it will be nicer by next Friday and you can go out.

I just came in from outside where it seems okay now. Too late to go out to eat - started cooking.

She's looking great on those waterskis. Good idea to eat in your air-conditioned home. Baby back ribs sound great. I'm sure they turned out well. You can wear it next week. Hopefully, the temps start to cool down. I hope you saw many birds, butterflies, and lightning bugs.

Thank you! That little pip is such a little athlete. Omg! The ribs were so delicious. I only made corn on the cob with them. Of course I ate everything. Hubs had to save some of his ribs for lunch. Unfortunately, we are going to get hit with a hurricane tomorrow.. Even the critters are taking cover.

@DianneN Yes, she is. You didn't need anything else with the ribs. The corn is perfect. I hope the hurricane won't be bad. I just looked at the hurricane info and all I can say is stay safe. Hide.

@DianneN kind of you - but I spent most of my childhood summers on a Lake in Wisconsin. So, water skiing was less about athlete and more about well, the minimum expected!

If I could waterski, I would try as well. With both hands and someone would have to fish me out later.

There'll be other time to wear your anniversary present. Dinner sounds good. I had corn chowder leftovers. Bracing for remnants of Linda coming Tuesday night and staying till Wednesday. Everything depends on how Linda passes us.
