What a beautiful day, Sunny, calm, a bit humid, hot and the clouds are starting to move in. It is now 5:42 p.m. and the temperature is 90 degrees. Summer is still with us. Rain is due tomorrow. The grass and plants will appreciate the rain. They seem to like rain water better then water from the hose.

I have had a busy day. Last evening I fixed drumsticks in the air fryer in the oven. Well, I should of put a cookie sheet on the rack below, and I should of placed a liner on that cookie sheet. I did the cookie sheet half way through the cooking time. Today I cleaned the oven. It is a self cleaning oven. It takers three hours to clean, then another two or so to cool down. The door won’t unlock until it is cold. By this time it is 11:30 p.m. Tina turned it cleaning mode on at 6:00 a.m. Once it is open again the gunk, ashes what have you have to be wiped out. So, I can’t get on my knees so I find one of my handy gadgets that has a hook on one end and a L shaped thing on the other. I wiggle a dishcloth in the L shaped end and do my best to get it all wiped out, including the sides where the racks slide in. It is done, not perfect, but done. Then I have to scrub the racks. From a distance they don’t look bad at all. Then I pick therm up and head for the sink. Dawn Dish detergent, steel wool and I spent at least an hour on each rack. Now they shine. I admit there are a couple of spots that I didn’t manage to get shining, but they are clean.

In the middle of all that Pamela and Jerry Ford come to play games. I am sure they were sent from heaven to give me a break and a coupler hours of fun, good company and laughter. I thank them so much for the break. I did need it. It is always fun to see them.

Now it is supper time and I a, ready to go sit down and eat, then relax. Tina brought home Subway for dinner. I am so thankful. I don’t want to go near the stove for the rest of the day.
