Good Morning one and all,

Excellent light show in the wee hours this morning. (Saturday) I hope the storms didn't do any damage wherever you are, last week.

Another uneventful week here at "The 'Burg". Cookout day here yesterday (Friday). Forgot what a burger on a grill tasted like. The Burg rents a huge tent for everyone to sit under. There were a few party poopers, like me, who chose to eat indoors. Not sure why I don't want to get out. Maybe I'll give it a go this next Friday. Joe's family comes and sits outside each Friday afternoon. I'd like to meet them, as well as Oscar, the family canine. Staff here, some of them, dressed up in Western attire yesterday. Kinda neat to see them out of their daily rags. Molly is the winner, in my opinion. She came complete with a six-shooter on her hip. Really cute.

Time once again for the Reds update. Losers of their last 4 in a row, 5 if you count last nights loss to the hated Cubs. 2-8 in their last 10, a full 6.5 games behind league-leading St. Louis and 5.5 behind the sCrUBS. 2 games from being the bottom dwellers of the Division. Maybe next week. I need to use Molly's gun. :-(

That's it for this time, see ya next time but in the meantime have a great week!!!

Good Morning

Another week has motored by. Is this Summer moving along rather quickly or what? Catching a break from the oppressive heat. It's a VERY mild 67 degrees, FIFTEEN degrees below normal. I hope this isn't a preview of things to come this Winter.

Well, I am concerned over this new Health Care reform being touted. They are talking MAJOR cuts in Medicare/Medicaid. If this comes to fruition, I am sunk. I'd be living in a dumpster for sure. I am seriously worried. Rightfully so?

One of my favorite Respiratory Terrorists retired suddenly this week. Her Mother fell and broke a hip so she had been away helping her. Found out today (Saturday) she retired. Shirley will definitely be missed. The turnover rate here is incredible, for lack of a better word. New faces almost weekly now. I try to learn every one's name but I can't keep up with everybody. I so dislike talking to someone and not know their name.

Best get this to press and I have addresses to edit. Hope you all have a great week and I'll talk to ya next Sunday. Oh, before I forget, Reds update and it's sad:

3-7 in their last 10, a full 5.5 games behind the league leading Cardinals; 2.5 behind both Houston and the dreaded Cubs. They're just 4 games from the bottom dwelling Pirates. Reds did win last night at home against Milwaukee. That will reflect in next week's issue.

The Dog Day's of Summer

Good Morning,

Dark, dreary, and rainy here today. (Saturday) Just a blah day all around. Good weather to take a nap. Hrmmmmm

Apologies if you attempted, but not permitted to comment on the current week's blather. I'm not for certain exactly what the problem was but it is fixed so PLEASE feel free to post a comment. Come on, don't be shy.

Nothing out of the ordinary this week, other than Darlene driving 3 hours for a visit with groceries in tow. Will make good additions to the all ready yummy meals here at "The 'Burg".

Reds update: They are sinking. 4-6 in their last 10, five full games behind the League-leading Cardinals and .5 game behind the toilet bowl Cubs. No sass this week, Lee. They are sensitive souls. :-)

Have a new addiction. FARKLE. Dice game available through facebook. EXTREMELY addictive. As if my Backgammon addiction isn't enough, now this. Speaking of "this", time to go FARKLE. Take care everyone and I'll see ya next Sunday

Happy Birthday America!!!

Good Morning,

It's that time again. Time to put thought in writing and describe what is going on here. Well, in a nutshell, nothing is going on here. So, going to be a dry week, except for the rain today. (Saturday)

I'm sure all of you are out enjoying fireworks, family, friends and good food, weather permitting. I'm envious.

We did lose one resident overnight. My next door neighbor, Marie. RIP Marie.

Time for the Reds update: Reds went 5-5 in their last 10 games, and are now 2 games behind both St. Louis and Milwaukee. .5 game ahead of the dasterly Cubs. GO REDS!!!

All for this week, have a great week and I'll see you all here next Sunday.

Stay safe,
