MORNING ROLL CALL L JUNE 2026

Hoping everyone has a great weekend. 

We are watching the Olympics. How about you? 

Our favorite sport is swimming.

2 of our 3 daughters swam in college on scholarship at UW Milwaukee.

Hello Porchers!  I am tired from the heat and daily rain but otherwise OK. I take a nap after lunch and wake up groggy due to humidity.  It does not dry up long enough to mow the yard and walking is harder than normal and more hazardous.  I mean snakes.   Have only seen 2 copper heads since moving here but I would not like to step on a large black snake either.  Does not look like a change is coming any time soon in the weather department, although it can shift quickly here.  Oh yeah, dead branches on trees get saturated and fall, happening a lot lately.  

My doctor's appointment was canceled  at the last minute due to the PA not showing up so I have to get psyched up again to drink black coffee & hurry up to make an 8:30 appointment.  

Somehow I must make time for Hotel Portofino, I really liked it last year.  Location a big plus!   One of my all-time PBS favorites, Doc Martin had a wonderful location too.

OK then I’m kinda here, heat has taken its toll on me. A/C will hopefully go on today. Someone gave me an offer on the house and I’m trying to clean it up and out.

I really, really don’t need 9 rooms finished or 3 rooms unfinished or the 2 1/2 bay garage, etc.Also tend to wonder if I can keep heating with wood and oil.

With luck he’ll get financing and I’m off to NH or the flatlands. So if you don’t see me here often, I’m around.

@Frozenoem   I am having a hard time picturing you in another place!   Good luck with house sale, always great to get an offer.  

Still hot and humid here,  my countdown to the September has begun.   We have finally been able to mow, to the relief of my dogs.  They do not like tall wet grass.

How many of you are watching the Olympics?

Mary and I have been watching most of it.

We mainly like to follow swimming and gymnastics. Our three Daughters were competative swimmers and two of them swam in college on scholarship. We understand what the athletes parents went through with athletes training and competition meets taking up much of your life. 

What are your favorite Olympic sports.

I like watching the track & field events. 

For sure, the American athletes in swimming and gymnastics were incredible!

@SummerOnTheWay1, just came in from taking Willie Mae and Giorgio on a short walkabout and/or pee break if needed while it is still sunny out and before the remnants of Debby move in. 🌧️.  Willie Mae plopped in some shady spot and after a few belly rubs with her stick, she seemed content to stay in her spot.  Giorgio followed me to the door for his 'obligatory' treats (said facetiously, only he thinks they're obligatory 😼), and who am I to disappoint him.

I am sure Ms. G has set her son straight on the care of Mr., but it's great that you have taken over as the "other mom". 😻
