Sounds like an excellent visit coming up, Patty!

With the heat warnings these days I'm doing small outdoor chores that let me see something has been done, then heading back into the house. Mowing the side yard where the old wheelbarrow had tall grass around it, trimming the suckers coming off the base of the Vitex in the front. Small amounts of time when I won't overheat. On a trip to Costco I picked up another case of their inexpensive bottles of drinking water. At one red light on the way there a panhandler was looking pretty parched so I handed him one of my spare bottles along with a $5. I think at that moment the water was the best offering, it was opened immediately.

The donation stack is growing with games, puzzles, and housewares (and the places things will go are various). Now that the hall closet is cleaned out it has me thinking about what I have hanging in other closets and what needs refreshing or donating (or being taken over to my daughter or put into a box to send to my son).

Weight is down another pound (I don't have much to go for my goal, I was only working on about five pounds). My fingernails seem to be stronger now with the higher percentages of fat and protein in the diet. Still reading the long book about calories. All calories are not the same.
