When she spends her time calling the detention centers at the border 'concentration camps' and the Border Patrol Agents 'Nazis,' she deserves to be owned by someone who knows what he is talking about.

Some I know can't fathom being alone, but it doesn't bother me one bit. Of course, I guess I have never been very good at having someone around telling me what to do and when to do it. :)<br /><br />We had a small storm blow through a while ago, so the temp has cooled down to the tolerable stage and I could open some windows. But the forecast is for just plain ugly the next week or so, and aside for some canning planned for the end of the week, I will be observing quiet time!<br /><br />Aha! You have been watching the same news outlets as I have today. They called a press conference so they could scream "Racist.' But if you think about it, that's all they've got. I don't know if you saw it, but I loved the part where Tom Holman (former ICE director) shredded AOC and her ill informed attempts to blame him for separating families at the border. If you haven't seen it, check this YouTube link. It is classic!!<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRrc8m1INVE<br /><br />Enjoy!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-33550244700951229062019-07-15T19:17:56.409-05:002019-07-15T19:17:56.409-05:00Vicki, I am with you.

Then it's back inside for a period of hibernation. Actually, I am no social butterfly so I enjoy my alone time. <br /><br />Speaking of hibernation, I wish some of the radical "nuts and squirrels" would disappear for a good long while or as Trump says, "Go back to where they came from and fix a few problems there." I think maybe I have watched too much news today...ya think?<br /><br />Be aware and prepare, CWfromIowaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-10151048420539544752019-07-15T15:11:24.243-05:002019-07-15T15:11:24.243-05:00I don't plan to go out until maybe October. :...I don't plan to go out until maybe October. :)<br />Hope all of you are OK.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-30594700732908038942019-07-15T15:10:23.258-05:002019-07-15T15:10:23.258-05:00deb...It has been hot and humid here, too, but wit...deb...It has been hot and humid here, too, but without the storms. The rain seems to be going around us and I kind of wish it would rain here just to cool things off a bit. Hope the fix to your basement wall works. That's got to be miserable to have water leaking in.

The products are usually way cheaper in quantity than store bought and once re-canned, they last longer. <br /><br />You have a way with words, Red.....heat and humidity definitely sucks rocks. :) Here, the humidity makes breathing interesting, so I stay as cool and quiet as I can.

I have several large plastic jugs of apple juice that I am seriously thinking about dumping into canning jars and running them through a water bath. <br /><br />We here in the North are wimps when it comes to heat and humidity. We complain about the winter cold, but we actually handle that better than the heat.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-42055272942982572932019-07-13T21:39:37.864-05:002019-07-13T21:39:37.864-05:00Vicki~ I like the idea of re-canning ketchup.
