I would have sworn we had nothing but gray squirrels here.<br /><br />Our book group loved News of the World. I read an interview with the author (was it in Texas Monthly?) and she came across as being difficult. I have to admit that changed my thoughts about reading more of that author.<br /><br />My husband and I thought the Hemingway series was very well done. I'm afraid his life is quite sad.<br /><br />We've been delighting in home-grown tomatoes all of May and June and ours are starting to play out. <br /><br />I'm eager to see your kitchen remodel. We redid ours a couple of years ago after living in our house for thirty-five years, and, looking at it right now, from where I sit, I feel happy.<br />Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354578196331884768.post-74104961911209123732021-06-26T11:42:26.382-04:002021-06-26T11:42:26.382-04:00Thanks Vicki.

We also have chipmunks, which I like more simply because they're pretty cute. <br /><br />I love farm fresh tomatoes. I wanted to stop at a couple of produce stands on our recent leg of our trip through central CA, but they were always on the wrong side of the road and slowing down quickly (in an RV) isn't always possible, especially with a bunch of cars behind me. Maybe further on up the road, I'll be able to find some. I sure wish we had one of the Blackstone grills right now. It's going to be 111 tomorrow and it's far too hot to cook anything inside the RV. Of course, it's too hot to stand outside and cook, too. We may be eating cereal for a few nights. Or cheese, crackers and apples. <br /><br />Have fun getting settled in your new kitchen. That room was always my favorite to set up whenever we moved!Les in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053880852764886416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354578196331884768.post-76646372969064382742021-06-24T11:36:50.903-04:002021-06-24T11:36:50.903-04:00You must be ecstatic to be back in your own full-s...You must be ecstatic to be back in your own full-sized home.

We live in a neighborhood that outside of the city and on "estate lots" which means an acre or so so there isn't much noise at night. We had gotten used to living in a building with people coming and going at all hours and the LOUDEST air condition unit known to man. Jason swore he could hear himself blink it was so quiet. I love the Loki picture and I'm curious about the Hemingway bio. I don't know that much about him but I find him fascinating! The grilled sandwiches look delicious. I wouldn't have thought to make sandwiches on a griddle. I mostly use mine for pancakes. Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.com
