Earthquake!

 Another hot day and it would seem these triple digits are here to stay. It was 101 yesterday and today? maybe 105. In the Indeed, it was meantime, Alan is still in Alaska until Sunday and his temps are in the 50s during the day. It was raining yesterday there. Sunday night while looking out the hotel window and talking to Lisa, the curtains moved and the window too and so did he feel movement. He hung up and call down to the desk...they said not to worry it was only an earthquake. Alan dressed and left the 14th floor and went downstairs. It really was an earthquake that was about 130 miles north and it was a 6.1 magnitude. Earlier there were a few smaller ones that did not register in Anchorage. Alan said he would put hazard pay on his expense report!

This is the new egg cooker...small like a toy! It works just fine. Well, I do have to try the poached eggs again. The hard cooked ones are great.

It has accessories...a scramble egg bowl, an egg poacher dived dish and of course it  also has it"s own special measuring cup. It will musically start and when finished plays another tune. It is all automatically timed and as you can see in the first picture, it all stores under the cover. I just love gadgets and things to make anything easier.

Lisa and I did some crafting yesterday..

these are several Heating pad Llamas waiting for me.

Once Lisa cuts them out and all their pieces, I embroider the faces. She will then sew them into Llamas. I love doing the hand sewing. I must say, Lisa is gaining more confidence with her cutting out and sewing. 

A few months ago Alan decided to spread some flower seeds. Just as he began a bit of wind arrived and the seeds went ... well who knows. Nothing seemed to be growing until this Blanket Flower appeared.  I found another tomato  growing but it is as small as a pin head. The plant itself is growing so tall. The basil and oregano are doing great. I still need to replace the Rosemary and parsley as well as chives. That will be when Alan returns. 

Did I mention that there is a special door at my bedroom doorway?

Hope this means they will be moving in and help around here. In the meantime, glad to visit with you today. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship. 

Must say thank you for all the good thoughts and prayers for my niece Tonya. She is doing so well.

Girls night out?

 

Wednesday night when Lisa came home from work. Alan is our family grill master. Yes we did indeed grill hotdogs at 10pm on Wednesday night when Lisa came home from work. Glad Lisa knew what she was doing.


 It was nice to have a bright full moon. No clouds to hide it. I think whoever was looking down was wishing they had our hotdogs. The new rice cooker arrived....

Tried it out...could have been a bit more moist. I am sure I will figure out the correct measurement any day. I made veggie stir-fry to go with it. 

I think we are all on the way to getting some normalcy back. Safeway has dropped the mask wearing as have a few other places here in Arizona.

Last week when Lisa and I went out I bought this incense bottom burner. The incense burns and smoke drops from the bottom and fills the first tray then floats down to the bottom tray. I love the way it looks. I have always liked burning incense. Have not talked again with Alan, but Lisa calls him to say goodnight. No more pictures to share yet. Happy that you stopped by. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship. Time for a cup of coffee......☕ 
Special shout out to my sister Linda
Happy **Birthday to you....she is the younger than me but older than Alan one!
