Well I've made it halfway through Sunday, I need to go out and finish mowing the field.

But on the upside, it's amazing if you want to lose weight. I went from 370+ pounds to 132 pounds in a little over two years

That is very impressive, almost 2 extra Chrissys gone! I suspect you feel quite a bit more energetic.

Don't downplay your accomplishment, 60lb is an amazing amount of weight to lose!

True! Whether your goal is 60 or it is 60 in the right direction, that is an accomplishment.

Yes, the variable weather brings them on so I'm on a maintenance drug all the time now.

DD1 has that problem. What "maintenance" drug are you on?

if not, thats ok, the other spearmint will fill in. its a big patch

I don't think you can kill mint, even if you try!

Here there is a blight that kills them early each year

My Early Girl died early. I didn't notice anything other than the leaves just died off. The 3 "heritage" plants given to my MIL then to me to grow for her (sorta) are still alive but those are some gnarly tomatoes.

Whew, I thought you meant the robes.

I've never been to a hotel fancy enough to have robes!

Just think of the extra work for you postal workers with all the duplicate census info requests coming through the mail. Like you don't have enough to do anyway!

Yep, and people say "If they can handle the Christmas rush, they can handle the 'vote by mail' volume without realizing that the mail volume was "Christmas in July", especially with all the extra online shopping.

Yeah, I have been grumbling a lot. And the political "Vote For Meeeee" junk hasn't even started. I can't wait.

I suspect that volume is different in different locations. Glad I don't live in a "swing state", lots less of that when one party has no chance of winning in a Federal election.

Hi Bruce, I was wondering where you were!

I hope you like your results so you will share a recipe in the bakers thread. I'm sure they'll be delisherous.
We are supposed to have a couple of warm days this weekend but yesterday was really nice; as long as the highs aren't over 105 or so it's doable. The hardest part is that it doesn't cool off at night in summer.

Ok, the breakfast cookies are delisherous indeed! I'll post the recipe on the Home Baker's thread in a mo.
