How was your weekend? Come on … tell us about something.
Whew! … We stayed busy. Time with out-of-town family kept us off the ballroom floor, but we hosted a dinner, shopped at a local alcohol warehouse, stopped at a local brewery, and I attended a baseball game with a friend while my wife painted with her family … so we stayed home much of Sunday. Cheers to my neighbor for relieving me of watering duties!
As I prepare this post, we have a tornado watch. The weather reporters have been making a big deal for the past two days about the passing of this front and the severe weather it could bring, but I think the severe weather will miss us … After all, I use a technique that isn’t very technologically advanced … LOTW …. that’s Look Out the Window. Nonetheless, it’s a bit odd outside at the moment, so I predict somebody will get it … but not us.
Life: The Musical returns this week as life moves to adulthood …. so song titles must include Man/Men or Woman/Women. Curtail time will be Wednesday, 9:30 pm (Eastern US).

I did NOT see that coming – Hilarious video, Frank! I spent the weekend participating in an art show with my photography at an historic Old West stage coach station in Northern Colorado. Sold some of my pieces and met some great people!

All is reasonably well, and the weekend had more ups then downs. That’s about all I can say for it at the moment. Sometimes it’s just like that. LOL! But I’m going to really look forward to another Life, the Musical. Just the right thing! I hope you have a good week, and I intend to do a little better than last week. 🙂

I made zucchini chips in my dehydrator, but found them to be quite disappointing. What starts out as a lot of chips shrink up to half the size, plus I didn’t find them all that flavourful, olive oil and sea salt, it just wasn’t enough sea salt.

I haven’t heard of making them with a dehydrator … so would you try again?

I don’t think it was worth it, even with my dehydrator full to capacity, with shrinkage, you don’t end up with enough to justify. Plus the taste was just a okay.

I had a great weekend, Frank. I’m in Maine (which is always wonderful), we had great weather and a visit from my brother and sister-in-law. Kayaking, hiking, playing with the pup and lots and lots of time to just chat. A perfect weekend.
Of course, now I need some caffeine, like that spider … thanks for the shout-out, Frank.

Sounds like you had a lovely weekend – bad weather, hmmmmmmm, don’t send it our way. We sweated it out in 104 and 103 temperatures (no rain, just beautiful sun) tree trimming and weeding, among other things. What a relief when we went indoors ~ even the squirrels were spread out on the large stones in our yard trying to stay cool under the big oak tree.

Sorry about the weather – it’s headed this way late Tues I think. It’s been about 100 all weekend so add that to the mosquitoes and it’s indoor time for everyone….and I think they were all at the mall judging from the parking lots – school shopping has started.
So many great things to celebrate, but Thurs looks like a winner with jelly beans, chili dogs and cheesecake (next is stomach ache day?)

Well, my flat was broken into, then puzzled that they didn’t take a single thing. But then not puzzled when I remember I don’t really have valuables or gadgets worth taking. My cat was safe which was the most important thing and they never vandalised anything, it was actually not even very messy, quite considerate thieves in a weird way!
