Hi Gail,
I was never a big Elvis Presley fan. I liked his music and some of his movies but just was not interested in going thru the house. The land around the house was really pretty. I did enjoy walking around and looking at the other things that they had there. I did go thru the gift shop and the restaurant. We walked around the grounds where the plane was but when we were there you could not go thru the plane.
I need to find something to open jars. I am getting to where I can not open things like I use to. I have used rubber bands to get them open with but they are not working as well for me as they did. Thanks for the information about the jar opener on the Q. I had not seen them before and was getting ready to look them up.
That is nice that Greg got to go play golf. That is nice that the golf courses are open again. It is a safe place to go because you do not have to get close to people. Did Greg wear a mask while playing or do they leave them off? It seems like if you are outside you would not need the mask. I am not sure what the rule is for that.
This is sad all the violence that is going. I do not understand why they have to burn and loot businesses. We had a peaceful protest in St. Louis today. They were at the arch and it was peaceful and they got their point across. I just wish that mor of these people would do this.
We are going to work on getting the pool open this week-end. It is supposed to be warmer this week-end so a better time to clean it out. I have to get some cleaning things. I was trying to find someone to come over and clean it for us but cannot find anyone.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

Hi Adele,
I watch the Hall Mark movies also. They are all such good movies and they have a lot of new people staring in them. Have you seen the detective story that stars Brook Sheilds? She is okay in it but it is not one of my favorite. I was kind of disappointed.
I need to find a jar opener. That would be nice to have. I can hardly open a jar anymore. It would be nice to have something to do it for me. I will have to look on the q and see if they have anything.
I hope that Heather can get over this problem with her ear. She has been having her health problems this year. I just hope they give her something to help with her ear. I will be praying for her.
That came quickly. I would open the boxes just to see what they look like. I like baby things. They are so cute. I may get the high chair that they had for Aliza. It was really nice and then I will not have to get one second hand.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

Hi Barbara,
That is funny that dodger holds the corn between his two paws. How does he get the husks off the corn? Does someone do it for him? I hope you have gotten a picture of him doing that. It would make such a good picture.
We have been to Grace land before. I did not go thru the house though. Ron did and the couple that we went with did. They said that the house inside is really small. I grounds are really pretty and the restaurant that is by the gift shop is nice also. They had the peanut butter butter sandwiches that Elvis liked He fried it and it sounded really fattning. They had a magnet with the recipe on it and Ron bought it but we never did try and make them. We had a good time there.
It is better not to think about what the world will be like like when this is over. It will just worry you and make people lose sleep. Well that is about all from here. Have a good day.

Hi Adele,
That was a good idea to get the play pen for Sonny. We have been putting on the floor o a blanket in the living room. We do not have as many people coming in and out here though. When he gets a little older Brook will have to bring her playpen so he can get in that. We have a booster seat for when he is old enough to sit at the table. I like those when they get too big for the high chair but too small for a big chair.
We watched a lot of shows last night. I like to watch all the old Murder She Wrote shows. Angela Landsbury did not know what she was starting when she made those shows. Now there are dozens of them. Out of all the new ones I like Aurora Teagarden Mysteries. Iike to watch Candice Cameron she is a really good actress. I liked her when she was on Full House.
I hope that Heather will be ok. It is rough when you have an ear ache like that. I hope they can figure out what is wrong and give her some medicine to help her with it.
No the pool is not done yet. I am hoping the guy will come next week if not I will start looking for someone else. The weather here is supposed to be nice and no more rain.
Hope you have a great day.

Hi Gail,
You are smart not to go into Wal-Mart. The ones around here do not wear masks while they are in there. They only let so many in the store at a time but I do not see what good that does if they are not wearing a mask. Ron goes into the stores and buys things because he cannot stand to stay home. He needs to stay home but he is too restless. He did pretty good for awhile but then just could not stand it anymore.
We still have not gotten the pool cleaned. W should be able to get it done this week the weather is supposed to be really nice. If the guy my daughter found does not come this week we will find someone else. Our pool cover came off and so we really need it cleaned out really good. That is why we want someone to come over and do it this year. I can watch him so I can do it next year. You may enjoy having a pool it is something and having the kid over is fun.
I hope that Greg has good luck hiring people in the park. Melissa is hiring people to work for her friends cleaning company. She does it over the internet though. It is the same person that she worked with in Cookeville. She use to help with the hiring when worked there before.
The memes are really funny. I like the dogs trying to find people to take their owners. Have a great day.

Hi DD,
I really like the pictures that you posted. The water looks so calm and pretty. When you look at the ocean it just looks like it goes on for ever and ever. It makes me wonder how these ships captains can navigate and get where they have to go.
Do you watch the masked singer? They say that is it coming on again but I do not see how they are going to do it. I wonder if they will spread the audience out so they will not be close to each other. It will be interesting to see how they do it. No matter it will still be fun to watch.
It has been really hot here for a few days and now a cool front is coming thru. We have really had a lot of rain. It is supposed to rain again tonight. I hope they are wrong. We will be floating away soon if it does not stop.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

Hi Adele,
I do not watch AGT. I am watching that dumb storage wars. You can really get hooked on that show. I like auctions and I like to see what they find in the lockers. They find some interesting things and then they find some real trash. They are sometimes as interesting as American Pickers.
Christmas will be a lot more interesting this year. More people and the new baby. I am going to have to find a high chair for the baby. I use to have one here but after Aliza got too big for it we got rid of it. They do have a second hand store in town and I will see if I can find one there. I do not want to buy a new one for the short amount of time they sit in it. I just hope that she has one that is reasonably priced.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.

Hi Barbara,
That was really nice that Lisa did dishes for you the other day. I am happy that Joey and Lisa are doing better together. Maybe it just took them awhile to get back to how they were. I just hope that this will start a new friendship between you and Lisa.
The little ones are so cute and cuddly. He likes to snuggle up as close as he an get to you when he is sleeping. I cannot wait until he starts crawling. It shall be interesting He does get mad when he cannot get his whole body up at the same time. He needs to lose a little weight.
That is funny that Dodger would get corn out of the field. I did not know that dogs would eat corn like that. That has to be funny watching the dog try to eat the corn off the cob. lol Dogs are fun to watch sometimes. They can get into a lot of things. It would be nice if he would bring enough home so you could cook some for you and Jerry.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

Hi Adele,
I cannot believe that I pit your name on DD’s message. My brain was on a mini vacation. It seems to take them often here lately.
I am sorry to hear about Steph’s friends mom. That is so sad. It was nice that she did not have to take Aizen with her. I know that Aliza was at mom’s and she did not understand all of it. It would probably be the same with Aizen.
It seems like my Christmas gift list just keeps getting bigger. So I have to keep up with it. We have two more added to the list this year and if Kylie decides to bring some one the we have to get a gift for them also.
The Catholic high school I went to was an all girl school. I explained to Gail why I did not want to stay at the catholic school. It is not fun to follow your sisters in school.
We finally got our air working. I was glad of that. It was so hot in here that I could not eat. Ron did eat much. It was just too hot and humid. They still have to come back and finishing fixing the furnace.
Your pool looks so clear. We have to open our pool this week. We have been waiting for the rain to stop so the kids wwill be able to get in there. We have a guy that is going to come over and clean it out for us this year. We are having him come because our cover came off and it really needs cleaning. He is also going to bring a cover that will stay on the pool.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
