Greetings - Gotta love the Friday feeling! Have you any plans for the weekend? Me?  Not any plans per-se. Just will see if anything pops up and presents itself in a happy sort of way. Another great 5 for Friday lineup today for entertainment and enjoyment! BEGINNING WITH:

Happy Friday! We're so excited that you're here today! How has your week been? Good here.  Tackling a few projects around here. Main one was my fridge was kinda' doing a tiny leaky-leak thing and I couldn't figure it out. A friend said, "Check your drip pan." Light Bulb Moment!  I hadn't thought of that. So I took off the kick plate and discovered: a) I don't have a drip pan b) By flashlight and me lying on the floor revealed the condenser coils were caked - and I mean CAKED - with cat fur and layers of dust or whatever was suffocating my 'fridge from operating properly. I was -- cheeks flushed, embarrassed, shocked! Good thing nobody was here to see it or I would've been ashamed that this had happened under my watch. Poor 'fridge just couldn't breathe properly. I went into clean the condenser coil mode with a shop vac + attachment hose and flashlight -- me still lying on the tile floor as I worked. I swear as I worked and the attachment hose sucked all the caked on stuff off the condenser coil(s), I could almost feel/hear the 'fridge, sighing, and saying, "I can breathe now!  Thank you." Happy to report, she ('fridge) is purring like a kitten and we're all cool with each other again. And maybe - just maybe - my power bill will reflect a little bonus from it.  hahaha Thanks, Joe, for that huge piece of wisdom!  Hat tip.

Friday Vibes to You! It's been a good week in my world. You? I did, however, buy 3 peaches at the grocery store the other day.  All excited (as they are my favorite fruit), I cleaned one and bit into it like an apple and was like, "What are you?  You don't taste like a peach AT ALL.  You taste ---uh,  flavorless." From here on out -- while peaches are still in season-- gonna totally do the sniff test. If it doesn't smell like a peach -- won't taste like one either. 101 peach lesson learned from Cheryl and passing it along.  Ha! Presenting 5 for Friday post this August 23, 2024. BEGINNING WITH:

Friday greetings! How's your week been? Chill or not-so-chill? Did ya do any tiny projects around your space/place that's been calling out for attention? Super cool read today! BEGINNING WITH: STACY'S WORLD Indeed - Stacy, Carol and I had a memorable lunch celebrating Carol's birthday at this outstanding local Mexican restaurant.  Who can believe we have such an upscale restaurant right here in our little ol' town that is absolutely blowing up with new homes and new neighbors moving in -- fast! The food was mouthwatering greatness -  however, the laughter, conversation and love outshined the food. And, yes, I too am a recipient of numerous pieces of Carol's talented, original watercolor artwork: Birthday greetings, Easter hello, Thanksgiving greetings, Christmas Wishes and thank-you notes. And, yes, all are framed or displayed, carefully positioned, around my home. All bring beauty, love and joy. Hat tip to ya, Carol, and thank you. I don't know about you, but Stacy's find of the corn on the cob recipe cooked with the jalapenos and honey has my full attention! Same, bacon wrapped chicken recipe via an old school family recipe! Both -  Totally on my make it ASAP list! Stacy never fails us with her innovative ideas and finds. Thank ya, Stac! Lucky us! QUICK QUESTION If I could have 3 wishes -- They would be in this order:
