Good morning to everyone on the Front Porch! Welcome to May 2019. We had an overnight shower to ring in the morning on the Front Porch! Welcome to May 2019. Going to be a busy day tomorrow if we do not have more rain. Remember that March - April is CLOSED now.
Hi, Porch Peeps!
Another really nice day here...I even have on a long sleeved shirt!
Did errands earlier and stopped at Starbucks because it's double star day. Tried something new... a Mango Dragonfruit refresher. A lovely fuchsia color. It tasted good, but it's not coffee! 
So of course I need to satisfy my need for caffeine and will be attending to that next.
@LaDolceVita ...Hang in there!
Have a lovely day, all! N.
Good morning everyone on the Front Porch on this sunny Tuesday morning in June! Golf was played yesterday with my four some not fairing very well in the litle league tournament. Hoping everyone has a great and productive day.
Hi, All,
After a cloudy, rainy, cool day yesterday we now have bright sun and a nice breeze with the temperature at 70, maybe reaching 77 later…no humidity! YAY!
@n566192l ...so sorry to hear about your stuff being stolen! 
Had a doc appointment this AM and looks like I’m good to go for another 6 months. No red flags on any of my bloodwork…Yippee! @LydiaN586309 ...must be because I stay away from the delicious donuts (most of the time)
Told them I was not taking that Medicare Wellness test (screens for dementia) until they change the test. My office uses the SLUMS (St. Louis University Mental Status) test and they keep using it. I can remember the darn 5 words they ask you to remember from the first time 3 years ago (apple, tie, pen, house, car). They read you the same story about Jill the stockbroker and her husband Jack and then ask you questions. Then there’s the "put the numbers on the face of the clock and make the hands say 10 minutes to 11." I taught first graders how to make a clock for 35 years; do you think I’m going to forget that? LOL. So many more stupid questions…"point to the triangle"…Duh! I like a challenge, so if they come up with a new test, I’ll gladly take it.
So now I’m going to get more coffee!! N.
Good morning to everyone on the Front Porch on this first Friday of June! We have had temps in the mid 80's all week. I golfed 3 timed in the last 5 days. Great weather but the golfing could have been better. Hoping everyone has a great weekend. The lawn will not need mowing for a few days so I can stay out of the heat.
Paratrooper Walter Hurd, 94, left, with another U.S. veteran who took part in D-Day operations, in Sainte-Mère-Eglise, where Mr. Hurd had been airdropped 75 years ago. Celebration of D- Day was yesterday June 6th on the 75th anniversary.
National Doughnut Day, or National Donut Day — celebrated in the United States, is on the first Friday of June of each year, succeeding the Doughnut event created by The Salvation Armyin Chicago in 1938 to honor those of their members who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War I. The holiday celebrates the doughnut. Many American doughnut stores offer free doughnuts on National Doughnut Day.
Good morning, Front Porchers!!!
I don't know what the temp is gonna be today, but what I do know is today is National Donut Day!
Several places are giving away donuts today is honor of this great day. So check out your local Krispy Kremes store, Dunkin Donuts, Walmart, or your favorite neighborhood donut shop to see what you delight you might add to your hot cuppa joe. And enjoy!
Good Morning, All,
Cloudy and comfortable here right now.
I need to get human and have more coffee. Maybe I'll start the weekend with a treat from Starbucks.
@LydiaN586309 ...sure wish I didn't hear about this being donut day. I'll try hard to forget that!
@Frozenoem ...cute moose! 
Have a good weekend everyone! N.
Good morning, Front Porchers!
Keeping it short and sweet right now. Hope the weather is calm and good in your neck of the woods. Caffeinate and maybe procrastinate at least for a little while. Don't over do anything. Afterall......
@Frozenoem 
Well as long as neither leaks, all is pretty good. Maybe just a few repairs for both you (maybe at your next doc appointment) & the roof and all will be well?
"Good morning, My Porch Peeps!"
Seems like Spring hasn't quite been able to shake Winter yet for many of us. It's been a real tug of war with the temps (hot and cold and up and down). But at least we know, Summer is right around the bend. 
@catwoman500 you kinda exhausted me with your porch prep and clean-up. But I know it'll be nice to be able to sit out and relax in a spiffy space. And @LaDolceVita you mentioned about the Coffee and Sweatpants cartoon in one of my posts. It's a website that produces a lot of images regarding coffee and relaxation. Hence--coffee and sweatpants. Speaking of which, here's a little story about a granny and her coffee:
Hope y'all had your first chuckle for the day. And be sure to always check the bottom of your cup! smile
So.................
Good morning indeed, Our Front Porchers!
I found this video today and was so moved by the sweetness of it, I just had to post it here. Oh, that we humans could get along so well. Sigh!
Anyway, @n566192l I am so sorry to hear about the theft of your purse and credit cards. Hope you have been able to notify all of your creditors so they can perhaps block those scondrels from being able to use your cards. If you have Lifelock or some other identity theft service...good. If not, you might want to contact the individual credit bureaus and request their assistance with setting up the service through them. That could possibly help prevent identity theft. Just a thought. And I hope whatever your surgery entails, it will come off without a hitch and your mend will be swift and complete.
@Frozenoem , I am so glad your temps have finally gone up and maybe will hold for a while. Don't know what you mean by "testing joy," but I hope you find great pleasure in doing so.
@LaDolceVita , I hope you are emjoying the "sweet life" each and every day!
And @catwoman500 , National Donut Day maybe over, but thanks to places like Krispy Kremes, we can have a national chocolate-covered, custard-filled donut feast 
Hey, @DaveMcK Dave! Thanks for keeping the lighthouse lit.
And y'all remember to....
Good Afternoon, Peeps!
So hot and humid right now I'm not sure the porch would be fun. maybe later.
To celebrate getting it all done I went out and bought a hanging plant to brighten the porch.
My phone says it's 79 and feels like 81, but to me it seems warmer than that. Maybe because I just cooked up a big pot of veggies. Inside, my thermostat says 80. Hoping it cools off; I don't feel like turning on the AC yet.
Hope everyone is doing well. N.
