Lake View Premium Jigsaw Puzzle

Think I like the table, some place to put your early morning coffee or tea on or a snack.

Or a nice cup of hot cocoa in the evenings.

Have a Wonderful Memorial Day weekend too...Enjoy your rain. Maybe it will cool you down...We have nothing planed except watching the weather, just cloudy & misty today so far, did rain a little this am. Crickett is taking a nap...too wet outside for him.

Hi CatLadyOKC,
We're going out for ice cream when the rain and thunder passes. Then we have to pick-up some groceries. Want to make French Toast tomorrow morning, need maple syrup and making Strawberry Shortcake for Monday with real whipped cream. :) We are going to cool down a bit when the rain passes. It will be nice to get out. :)) Have a great evening. And a kitty hug for Crickett. :) >^-^< Do you hear from Hockeyfan? I do, but only on FB.

Have not heard from HF since mid Apr. I think, sure hope she is OK. I'm not on FB & won't be, I get into trouble because I say what I think & sometimes my family doesn't like it. We are still dry, but yesterday was one of those stress days with the tornados & flooding. Very long day. Parts of our yard has water in it, but it has a few low places & they will drain off. House sits above those areas (not in a flood plane). Those areas used to drain off to the east, but renters over the years of that house have filled in the drain area. Good to hear you are cooling off, will be down for the French Toast & stay for the Strawberry Shortcake, love both, but I have to watch my sugar intake. Crickett sends a kitty hug to you! He is unhapppy with me I made him get in when the sirens went off twice yesterday afternoon-eveing (long day). They have asked people to stay in today because of the flooding, having to rescue too many people. I prefer not to be one of those people. We really don't have much flooding in Moore, just the usual low areas, they have been trying to fix those areas over the years we have lived here, so they are getting better but 3-5" of rain on all ready saturated clay does cause a problem. HAVE A GREAT DAY!! (May get some more rain later today, but it is suppose to be just light showers.)

Take care. Floods and tornados are terrifying to me.A lot of people are afraid of earthquakes so I guess it is what you are used to. Southern CA is earthquake country so I am used to those,

Thanks,...think we have a couple of days without rain which will be nice. We have lived here since '83 and still have gotten use to any of them...guess mother nature will do want she wants too, just wish she wasn't so active this year.

Hi CatLadyOKC,
Had to laugh regarding your comment about FB. :) Yes, some don't like some of my comments, but at least they know I'm honest. I always tell them what I think, weather they believe in my idea or not. :) I hope and pray that your stress days are going to go away soon. Seems like you've had your share already. Poor Crickett is in need of boots. A "Thank You" to Crickett for the kitty hugs, so miss KitKat's hugs, snuggles and head bonks. :( >^-^< I pat her box everyday. Miss her so much. We did have rain yesterday evening; it cool down considerably. We were able to get out. Made the French Toast, wish I could have had you over, such a commute! :)) Strawberry Shortcake is today! You are welcome.....:)) to some shortcake. :)) You live in Moore, not that far from Tinker. Had a friend, many moons ago, that lived in that area. :) Well, have a wonderful day, and keep dry. :))

According to our weather people I have until about 1PM today to work on puzzles & other things, then the storms move in again...(think they are showing storms for the next 9 days), really getting tired of this. Started stressing already today, some days are better than others. When we first moved down here I looked at houses in that area, was closer to hubbys work, but we decieded to look here too, and I found a house that we liked & also the schools were a higher rating here, that is why we are here. Good to hear that you temps are better. Have a Great Day!

Hi CatLadyOKC, Been thinking about you all of Tues. We've been having some terrible weather of our own. Torrential rains, thunder, lighting, flooding, and a car down the street was hit by lighting! Finally got on the computer around midnight! :(( Well, it's time for me to go to bed, it's 3:30am! Have a great day....if you can call it that with all the rain and stormy weather. :)

We were up until about then, storms finally slowed down around 1pm but it took some time for me to settle down. Son got us a new weather radio, it is real nice, small but really does the job, but our coverage on ch. 9 is still the best as long as the elec & cable stay on. Suppose to do it again today, maybe not as bad, sure hope so. Crickett is sound asleep, he has been staying up with us and is really worn out by morning. Sounds like you really had a nite...sorry about that. Take care and stay safe. Cat hugs from Crickett to you. >^-^< !!!

Hi there CatLadyOKC, So far today (7:30pm), and keeping my fingers crossed, no rain or storms in sight. :)) Got an early start this morning, cleaning, prepping fruits and veggies for lunch and dinner. Did not know what the weather would have in store for us, but I knew it would be really hot. Got all my meals done early, that kitchen gets really hot in late afternoon. Cleaned-up and finally on the computer. It sounds like you had just as rough a night as we did. Poor Crickett all worn out from a rough night staying up. Thank you Crickett for the Kitty Hugs, :)) So miss Kitty Hugs. :)) >^-^< Staying in the office for the remainder of the evening, it's the coolest place in the house. Well, have a great remainder of your day. Stay cool and safe. :)

I ment to say (6:30pm) not 7:30pm.....just not looking at the clock correctly. Been a busy day. :)

Just got caught up on our lastest forecast, looks like we will continue this way thru Sat AM. Sure hot June doesn't continue on like this...Hope you are relaxing this evening sounds like you had a really busy day...trying to get the last 2 puzzles done before I have to shut down again today, was down for a while then.

Took advantage of the cool down this evening and baked a batch of chocolate chip cookies. I have a feeling this will be the end of baking till fall. Just getting to hot. House cooled down to 79 degrees. Oh well, better get to bed. Have a good night/morning. :) Kitty hugs to Crickett. :) >^-^

Cookies sound good...really good! Not good morning, new weather radio has a siren on it; yes I can hear it clear upstairs. Went off about 5 AM this morning and woke me up, not at all the way to wake me up!!! We were up last nite w/storms until around midnight. Hope this weather pattern will change. We have had 495 weather warnings this month of that 125 were for tornados - WAY TOO MANY!!! We still tonight, Fri, and Sat am to go yet at this point. Kitty hugs to you >^-^< !

PS. Only 7 days so far without rain...! No wonder I feel soggy...

Hi CatLadyOKC, It's been good here today, no rain, but lots of clouds. Temps. are lower today because of the clouds. Yes, it's no wonder you feel soggy, 22 days of rain! I'd be soggy too. Crickett must be besides himself wanting to get outside. He needs a little raft and some rain gear. We have not been up to much, just taking care of home and business. Most of my friends are away, vacation time. Would love to get away for the weekend. :) One of my friends left this morning for CT and the other left yesterday for Atlanta. It's going to be quiet around here. Do you have plans to getaway? We were thinking of CT, but in the fall. Have a great evening, without incident. Looks like it will be a quiet night for us. :)

No we won't get away, husband does not travel well so we are always here. The longest trip we make is to the northern side of the city for his eye appt..., that we will do in June (have changed appts to once every 3 months) which is good. Would love to spend some time this summer at my brothers cabins near Taos NM, but can't get him to go, can't even get him to go to his brothers in central KS for a visit. He lives near a lake that we used to spend lots of time fishing when the kids were young.
We could take Crickett to either place w/us but he doesn't travel any better than hubby does, both howl all the way. Have a great weekend! Looking like we will have no rain for at least a week...chg in weather pattern finally! :)

Hi CatLady OKC,
Been under the weather for a few days. Started with an infection in the left ear, traveled to my left eye a jaw. Could not even open my jaw yesterday. It started from a bug bite, just got worse with time. Been treating it, getting a bit better. It will take time to heal.
How have you been doing? Hope all is well on your end.
Our hurricane season has started, we're on the watch. :) Hope it is a slow season for us. :) Well that is all for me, going to bed early. :) Have a good day. :) Kitty hugs to Crickett, hope he's dried out and able to get outside. >^-^

Wonderful here, grandson is cutting grass and I can see blue sky w/white puffy clouds out my window. Got most of the things caught up on the computer over the weekend and yesterday so I can do fun stuff today! Sure hope you have a very slow hurricane season, noticed that the other day on the weather channel. Think it is suppose to be in the 80's today, but that is not to bad, just don't like the 100's & above, need the humidity to go down before that starts. Crickett is loving this weather and he will be really happy to find out his grass is cut when he gets up later. He sends >^-^< 's hugs to you and hopes you get to feeling much better soon.

Hi CatLadyOKC, Weather was pretty good Tues, in the low 80's and the rain held out till late evening. :) We were out and about, shopping and a quick bite to eat. Thank you for your good wishes, I am feeling better today, healing nicely. Thank you to Crickett for his kitty hugs and a caress to Crickett. >^-^< So glad he can get out and walk through the grass. Must be nice to have grass between his toes and not water. :)) I caught up with my house work today. I've not been up to it lately. Well, that is it for me today, ready for bed. Have a good day. :)

You can get cushions for these now, back and seat, that tie on. They're really nice, quilted. Just have to remember to take them in at night in case it rains!

I know there are a lot of small lakes in Michigan. My dad was from Waterford.
