Good morning friends,
We'll head down to Sopchoppy around 2:00 for Cousin Liz's birthday party. She's arranged for barbecue to be catered and others are bringing side dishes. We'll bring baked beans although I think someone else is bringing them also. I'm going to try out driving but it's all rural so maybe it will be ok. If not, DH can take over.
Hope you all have a good day!

Good morning! Happy birthday to Cousin Liz maryenne , enjoy the party. I hope your eye is improving. It’s somewhat cooler here today. DH will mow the lawn and I will water the containers- two barrels at the end of the driveway and two smaller pots by the garage. We have a few friends coming by for grilled burgers tonight. We’ll keep it simple with corn, tomato and cucumber salad, potato salad and coleslaw. Wishing everyone a peaceful day. Lynn

Good morning!
Maryenne, enjoy the party today! Let us know how the driving goes. I hope you can tell that your eye is improving.
Lynn, enjoy your party tonight with friends as well. That sounds like a perfect menu for Labor Day.
Esther, how was your family book club? I'm so glad you are making a point to read banned books.
I was sick yesterday so didn't make it here, but feeling much better and back to normal today. So far it has rained our entire weekend, but today is bright and sunny. I just saw my neighbor getting his boat ready to take out for the day.
My cleaning lady is here today. Normally she would come tomorrow instead, and since today is a holiday I was surprised when she texted to ask if it was ok to come today instead. It was fine with me, of course, as we have no real plans. After she leaves we'll go out for lunch and then shopping for a new dishwasher. My old one is just about to die on us, and isn't cleaning as well as it should anymore so we have to practically wash the dishes before we put them in. So we decided to go ahead and get a new one now before it completely dies.
I hate shopping for appliances, and we don't have a really good appliance store here in town. I did discover online that we have an Electronic Express which I didn't know we had in town, so will look there. We also have a local furniture store that carries some appliances, but mostly we just have the big box stores. Lowes and Home Depot don't keep a lot of stock anymore, and there never seems to be anyone who actually knows the product to answer questions although we did recently buy our refrigerator from Home Depot. I want to actually see the model I get on the floor so I can visualize how I will place my dishes, pots and pans, etc. I don't need a lot of bells and whistles, I just want it to actually wash my dishes, get them clean, and do it quietly. I do want a stainless steel tub, stainless fingerprint resistant front panel, and for the controls to be on top out of the way. That doesn't seem too much to ask, so hopefully I can find exactly what I'm looking for without much problem.
