I've not a lot to say today (not that usually stops me from posting), but we've been here in Texas without our downstairs A/C since Monday. Normally this would be life-threatening since it's been in the high 90's here most of the week.
But... our upstairs one still works (old too - but still kicking) which helps cool the area right below the stairs (dining room and entry) and we have ceiling fans almost everywhere (as well as a few standing one that have been brought into use). So luckily it hasn't gotten over 87 F in the house... which is not great, but do-able.
And truth be told, I'm writing this because Blogger is giving me that new little pencil on the right side that is suppose to do 'something'... like perhaps bring more in to read blogs if certain things are mentioned like food or ? Since I quit putting labels out a long time ago, I've been happy with my small group of readers.
We were suppose to have DH's brother and his wife here this week. They come up every summer to visit, go to Ham's Peach Orchard, and a few other favorite places. But we had to cancel due to the A/C problem. No one wants to visit in Texas with no A/C available.
Update on Sister-in-law: Doing better, out of ICU, but still in hospital.

| Paris Baguette |
I know that I sent pics of the Paris Baguette when we were in Houston, but now there is one that just opened not far from us. It had been open for just 3 days when we visited this past week. DH got his favorite cream donut and I got a grilled cheese on sourdough and my new favorite drink - a cold brew vanilla cream (so-oo good).
Since I've nothing more to say here, thought I'd send a pic of my new work station (too hot in office with A/C out). Besides, I love to see the insides of people's homes... helps to give me a better idea of who they are. Do you find that true?
As you can see, I haven't taken off the bunny tablecloth or figures (I really like my bunnies... but did put away the other Easter decor).
And my granddaughter taught me a new game on Roblox. It's called "99 days in the woods" and basically it's a survival game (which normally I don't like), but it's interesting to play with her. She is great at shooting wolves and monsters that attack (I suck!). So I can survive if we play together as I can chop down trees and keep the fire going and she does the hunting and protecting. She and I lasted 54 days the first time we played. Alone I never get past 4...
Ok, better shut this down before you all lose interest. But just a quick update on my eye: It's finally back to normal (or almost - still itches, but I can read again!)
Surgery is scheduled for August 21 and reconstruction (plastic surgery) the 22nd. Don't know how I will blog after that. There is a possibility they may have to sew my left eye shut for a month... (really really hope that doesn't happen!) Hoping the surgery won't have to entail too much of my lower lid... so reconstruction will just be a matter of sewing the area back together. Please pray that it happens that way... (thanks 🙏).
Have a good weekend! And thanks for reading this far... wasn't sure what I was going to write about... but my monkey mind took off!
Hugs (virtually),
Rian
