Wonderful Wordy Wednesday

Happy July! In the middle of the hottest weather so far this summer. Temps in the 90s and heat index over 100. I am taking it easy for the most part, inside with the AC and fan going.

What better way to take it easy is to read or crochet, maybe watch a baseball game or some of the football/soccer. I did have a lunch date on Tuesday.  Treated a friend to lunch at the place we normally go to for trivia. I tried one of their new summer dishes, rice, corn, pulled pork and fried onions on top. Good and I have lots of leftovers for another meal. 

Now hit 100 comments on this new blog, thanks to my regular readers who check in on me and Dobby each week. On the old blog comments were just under 45,000. That was over 20 years and over 3,000 posts. Pretty amazing either way.   

American Kings - all about the quarterback position in American football. Focused on some NFL players as well as younger players who have the background and potential to be successful in college and probably the pros. Authors chose to drill in on certain people and didn't really touch on other very successful athletes. It may have been those who chose to cooperate with the author. 





 Happy Reading.

    Growing up, I watched pro football with my elder brother and father, then when I met The Hubby and learned he'd been the quarterback on his high school team, we connected with sports, and playing euchre.

    Oh, yes, if only reading burned more calories!

    While it’s great to get out, I’m glad you are able to mostly stay in. My heart aches for everyone who works outdoors right now.

    Oh yes - I also wish that reading burned lots of calories. I'd be slim slim slim.

It is Friday and in the liturgical calendar it is Good Friday. The Friday before Easter Sunday. Growing up this always meant church service in the afternoon, usually a long service with communion.  Dobby is doing well, I can't believe how quickly he has settled in and how comfortable he seems to be from his first days here. He will see the vet next week, so we will see what she says about him.  Doing his loaf impression on the bed.  Neon Lights from Big Twist. Nice bright primary colors.     This is actually my closet at the end of March. It is rather empty at the moment but I want to wait to buy when the company has a promo where they have a special on shipping for a set price for the entire order. Otherwise the cost of shipping is 10 percent of the value of the order and I plan to buy lots of yarn. I want to finish using the final three yarns on the right side.  Happy Weekend.  Happy Easter.

I am bummed, less than two weeks into this new blog and I get a comment that I had to delete. On the old blog I had comment moderation set up so that nothing showed until I had reviewed it. I was hoping with a new blog that I might have some time before that happened. Guess not. For now I will leave moderation off, but may need to put it back on.  Added 4/10/26 8 AM - Comment moderation is back on. I got six comments all from the same place. I did report them to Blogger, their ID said they had only been on Blogger since last month.   I am bummed as I seemed to have lost a few readers with the move. Even though I published the new link. Miss you guys! Dobby and I are at an impass of sorts. While he made himself scarce the day of his vet visit I figured I should see how well he would go into the carrier. NOT WELL! I tried twice and he spent a good deal of time in the basement hiding. We seem to be rebonding and I have to get him to accept the carrier, even if it is with bri...

It has been a long week. Severe weather with thunderstorms and a nearby tornado. Over 5 inches of rain this week alone and overall this month double what we would normally get for the entire month. One fatality, he was struck by lightning on Wednesday night.  The guy was walking in a parking lot to his truck. Thankfully no damage here and also to none of my friends. Lots of flooding, especially streets.  Amazing to watch all the stupid drivers who drive through flooded streets. Then are dumbfounded when their car dies on them. Thousands of dollars in damage to get the car engine working and the car cleaned out too.  Still working on crochet projects for the time being. This one is Happy Rainbow yarn from Big Twist, bright pastel colors. Would make a great baby or kid blanket.  Dobby is doing well, he did not freak out with the storms this week. Also he branched out and didn't sleep on my bed a couple of nights. Maybe he did sleep there but just wasn't there when I wo...
