Teka, good morning to you too. I am waking a little late. Two cups of coffee late yesterday afternoon kept me awake a little late last night. I just read.
Cami, glad to hear you slept well. Any special summer plans for today?
Jazzy, thinking of your friend ... how was last night's event?
DH and I are going to his DD and DSIL's for dinner. We are passing along an adirondack chair that DH made years ago. It needs painting but DD wants it anyway. Our patio was feeling overstuffed. The other chairs are more comfortable for our senior bodies.

Well, I figured out how to insert the picture but not how to make it smaller or type beneath it. How do I do those things?

Good morning hermits- happy summer solstice! Longest daylight of the year. I hope you all have some nice time outside this evening!
Diana Krall concert was fabulous. She is SUCH a great pianist, vocalist and had a wonderful band (bass, guitar and drums). Really great evening of music. Got home late, and to bed after midnight and feeling tired today. All the late nights of music (mostly late night from the drive back from Aspen that takes us a good hour) have me tired!
One more day here, and Steve Winwood tonight to wrap up the festival. Then, we will be leaving in the morning to head back (8 hours drive), so I will check in with you all and have more pics to share when I get home.
Oh and I got a call from someone about yet another work opp too! Going to call him first thing Monday morning!

Jazzy, I was composing while you posted. Glad to hear that the concert last night was another great one. I hope your friend is able to help with the driving tomorrow ... am thinking she might be on pain pills. Also, happy to hear that you will have a choice about where and with whom to work next.

Oh Jazzy that sounds marvelous! I love Diana Krall, I have 4 of her albums on my phone. Very soothing. And Stevie Winwood! I still have Winwood on vinyl! (Somewhere) I liked Blind Faith best — Can't Find My Way Home, and of course Traffic. Maybe I'll download some Winwood today. Ah, those were the days. So glad you're enjoying yourself. Was Krall's husband (Elvis Costello) on backup?
Drive safely, going home.

Mags- Elvis nowhere in sight, but she talked about having her twin boys with her on the trip, so my guess is he was watching the kids while she performed.
Sally- I hope my friend allows me to help with driving tomorrow. So far she has wanted to do all the driving herself (her car). She has been taking some pain pills at night, Advil during the day.

Hi hermits- home from the trip. Great concert last night with Steve Winwood. Any of your children of the 60s and 70s remember the group Traffic? Part of his earlier music, and I forgot all together he was in that group. I LOVED Traffic and remember listening to my brothers Traffic LPs when I was a kid/teenager. Loved that music! Brought back some great memories of times gone by, and a brother I still miss. It was a good jazz festival.
Got home tonight and tired from late nights out and drive home. Good to be tired from some fun though, right? I am working on watering, laundry and getting ready to go to bed early. Busy day ahead tomorrow with back to work and some other things to do.
Blondie- I am sorry to hear the chemo has been working against you with all the SEs. I hope you rest well from your time in the hospital and feel better soon. Thinking of you tonight.

Teka- thanks for the welcome back! Moving a bit slow this morning, but getting my day going. Must head in for work (six more days until I am done with this contract, whoot whoot!)
Wishing everyone here a good week.

Teka- ugh, I hate ticks. Glad you are being proactive just in case. Lyme Disease is a nasty thing.

Good morning all ...
Teka ... ick and glad you are being careful ... keep us posted on what your doc says.
Jazzy, happy to hear you are home safely.
Sandy, sorry to hear about your 8 days in the hospital but glad you are home now. Do you have the help you need at home?
Ducky, will the whole family be at the shore for the 4th?
I am trying out a shrimp salad recipe today ... well, if I get myself out of this chair to defrost the shrimp ... better get ...

Sally.........not sure who will be there......my great grandaughter was born last July 4th, so that will be her 1st birthday...........it is a friday, but not sure if anyone will venture down after the party............well 1 daughter might, but she will not be coming back......she is staying to vacation till the 14th.........would love to stay with her, but I give them their time to be a family..............so if she is the only one who goes then I either drive myself (as a way to get home).......or don't go at all.............another daughter says "I don't know what I'm doing"...........so who knows.

Ducky, how wonderful that your kids have a place near the ocean to vacation. When I was of elementary school age, we vacationed several times at Atlantic city ... maybe only once but the memories are so important that it seems like more. First birthdays are sooo special ... have fun.

Sally - good decision - Jazzy - jealous of your brill time away but glad you had it
Me - feeling guilty as everything on top of me today and working my way though a whole botle of red wine after eating very little................so fed up with working so hard at everything and health anti cancer eating is boring sometimes.................

Lily ... sounds like a down day for you ... hope tomorrow is better.
Teka ... did you have to take the tick with you to the doc ... interesting but good, I guess, that it wasn't engorged? I had the shrimp salad for lunch ... it was okay ... I plan to adjust the dressing next time ... more Heinz Cocktail Sauce/less mayo.

Cami- yes, back to work today because of timing with the contract ending. My ars was dragging today, but got a bunch done. I worked a bit later, then went to Lowes for a new ladder and a few other home supplies, came home to deal with replacing a chirping smoke alarm that greeted me upon my return late yesterday, now doing laundry. Dang, I am tired! I am done a week from today on the contract so I am at the end. People were just at me complaining all day. I wanted to scream.
Glad you had a fun partying this weekend. You party animal.
Lily- I hate having to ration the wine these days. I think we have to let go every once and awhile. I hope you are continuing to heal well from the recent surgery? How are the dogs doing? Has that hostile neighbor stopped bothering you?
Mags and Basia- hope you are doing okay with your recovery and continued treatment.
Ducky- sounds like some fun July 4th family things coming up for you.
Teka-sounds like you were lucky it did not take hold. I have found them stuck in my thigh or scalp in days gone by. Some were engorged and fortunately, nothing bad happened from what I remember. Less common here in NM, more where I just came from in CO and they carry Rocky Mountain spotted fever there. Now you have no excuse not to paint tomorrow!
Blondie- thinking of you and wishing I were closer to come help you. Let us know how you are doing. We care very much for you here.
Sally- l love shrimp this time of the year. Is your salad available on line anywhere to share with us?
Onco- I hope that achilles is doing better.

Good morning hermits. Getting my day going and downloaded some photos from my Nikon to share here, there, and everywhere. Will start with sharing this photo of a chippy taken up in the mountains near where we stayed. We saw so much wildlife from deer of all ages (adults, young bucks, a fawn), to bald eagles, a fox, and a beaver.

Took lots of photos of wildflowers too. These yellow wildflowers were everywhere in the high meadows around the house where we were staying. A shot of them below a grove of aspens along with a close up.

Jazzy, the chipmunk is so cute. The depth of color in the wildflower closeup reminded me that my cell phone camera is not great just handy. The shrimp salad turned out to be only so-so ... not something to pass on. i hope your last week with the current contract goes quickly.
0 -
Sally- I always take photos too with my phone and am surprised how good they come out, but you are right that having a good telefoto really helps you to see the details. The chipmunk was the only one who would pose for me, all the others took a look at me and split!
