It was a bit cooler today.    At least I could notice it.   Still to hot.    I don't know.    Moved to Oklahoma to avoid those cold cold winters.    Now I have hot hot summers:)

Went to mass this evening.   A nice mass.   I love it that I have been here long enough that I know people.    I have friends!!

Tomorrow is pretty quiet.  I may go over to Bart and Barb's in the afternoon, but am just working on several projects that I am enjoying but not getting really avid about.    That will change as I am getting better all the time.

Love you all
Stay well
Wear masks

It was warmer again today but is supposed to be a bit cooler for the next three to four days.     Not  that it makes much difference when the "Low" is 93 or 94 with a heat index:)    As I say - Hot is Hot.

Again, I kept reasonably busy, though with just me and Vita this is not a lot.     She takes me for regular walks, so I am getting my exercise.

I fixed my dishwasher today and am very proud.    The screws that attach it to the cabinet had worked their way loose, so I had to get new screws that were just a smidge wider and just a smidge longer and I screwed them in and it its fine.     When someone who knows more than me comes I will have them check it.

Tomorrow, another quiet day, though I will go to Mass in the evening.   Which always makes me feel fulfilled.

It was a bit cooler today and wouldn't you know that the first day I decide to give my front lawn a drink, as soon as I turned it off we had a thunderstorm?

The thunder scared my Vita all over again.    Just getting her over whatever it was that was scaring her a couple of days ago.     She sure is a scared e cat.      I love her anyway.     She is also a sweetie.

Went to Writer's Club tonight.    There were four of our five members there.    We all had something to read and get critiques on.    I got favorable comments on my poems and on the Summary of Ireland that will go in my saints book.

Did a bit of sewing on the wall hanging of St. Piran that I am designing too.     So it was not a dull day.

Hope you are all well and wearing masks and keeping social distancing so that you all stay safe and we beat this virus.

It was cooler and less humid today.     Still not a temperature that I want to be out for a very long walk, but a welcome relief.

Miss Vita is still afraid of "outside" sometimes.    Then to top it off, I let her out in the back yard this afternoon and something "Boomed",    I don't know what it was, not fireworks, but she made a bee line for the house.     Well.    We will take one day at a time.    

I kept myself busy most of the day.     Worked a bit on quilting and writing.   

Also, I had some really great conversations with my  two Maureens:)    Maureen Garry and Maureen Smith today catching up on each other and on what is happening in CWI (Celtic Women International)  which brought us together in the first place.

Also had a lovely conversation with my friend, Pam from Holy Family Church.    We are going to different masses these days so don't see each other as often.     Probably with the pandemic, would not visit as much anyway.

Tomorrow I will shop and work more on my quilting and poetry.

Love you all

They say it was cooler today and the thermometer did say the same thing but it was not enough to make us feel comfortable.   Thank the Lord for air conditioning.

I got a lot of book work and financial things settled today.   One would think that I should not have much of that anymore but things keep creeping up on me.     Oh well.   I need something to do during the day:)

Worked on some poetry and quilting projects.

Talked to a friend for some time.    She is getting our newsletter ready  for CWI and had asked me for some input.    I am glad to say that I was able to be of help to her.    I have been in her position before and needed input and didn't get it.     Love people who are part of a group who really care.

Another quiet day tomorrow.   Kerry will come to clean but the rest of the day is free.

Another quiet day at home.    Took Miss Vita for some walks.   I must remember to carry a mask with me as Lawton now has a mask rule which I approve of.

I did several CWI projects today.   Makes me feel good because I love the Celtic Women organization and the support we give each other.

Tomorrow will be another quiet day.     I am trying to put my writing on top ladder so I keep my incentive going.

Love you all
Please stay well and take care of yourselves and yours.
