Hello Friday! It’s about time you got here…………………..that means Friendly Fill-Ins co-hosted by 15andMeowing and Four-Legged Furballs. That also means we get four sentences full of holes (blanks) to fill in so you can learn more about us! I’m all for that. If you’d like to play along click the badge above and link up with us.
Here’s today’s sentences……………..I decided to let my Mom fill in ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the blanks this week – it’s a special treat for her instead of having to share with me! Her words are in RED.
1. If you want a vacation these days, you have to find a quiet room in your house and close the door – that’s as close as you can get to a “vacation” during the pandemic!.
2. During the month of August, I plan to sweat a lot as it’s our hottest month (just kidding on sweating – girls don’t sweat – we just get “dewy”!).
3. Others might think it’s strange that I only have one cat but if I COULD I’d have two – then they could be pals and buddies.
4. COOLER WEATHER seems so far away.
It has been a simply miserable Summer so far…………for a variety of reasons but one has been the incessant HEAT and HUMIDITY with only splashes of showers here and there. Our front lawn is brown……..our birdbath is empty every morning……..maybe I’m just plain more sensitive to the temperatures now that I’m a lady of a certain age!!!! Whatever it is, I’m tired of it and am ready for some beautiful FALL weather. Fall and Spring are my favorites! Oh well. Might as well hunker down – one thing I can’t do a thing about is the weather. PERIOD.
Now Teddy aren’t you sorry you let ME fill in the blanks today? Tee Hee Next week you can have them back – honest.

MY mom said her favorite season are also Spring and Fall. Next comes Winter and last, Summer. She smiled at the vacation and boy is that right. Just find a room and close the door!!! IT is just as miserably hot (been a hundred several times) and humid here, Mom said she has to keep going to the gym. Can’t stand it outside.

Oh dear me we are about to enter the dog days of August….so they say…anything is better than the horrid hot humid days of July.
One thing I have notice it is a tad darker at 6 am when we get up so the days are getting shorter..I just wish some of the ‘shorter’ happened about noon each day

Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. So true about the weather, it seems like it has been hot for months. I don’t mind staycations because I can be with my cats. The only thing I find odd is people with no cats- don’t know how anyone can get by without a kitty in their life. Have a nice weekend. XO

I’m with you on that (people with no kitties)……….I really am happy that Teddy is our “baby” and at our age having more than HIM to look after probably would drive us nuts so I’m OK and he’s OK. It’s just sometimes that I think he might have fun with someone other than ME to play with! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

We had unusually high temperatures in March/April but since then it has been quite cool here. We almost always have high humidity year round, but it isn’t so bad when the temperature is low. Today is 65 with 95% humidity. I don’t like the heat, but a bit of sun would be nice!

Spring and fall are the best seasons ion my book, too. Maybe because I am a November person, I do better in cooler temps?? My sister who was born in the West Indies (Curacao), she loves the hot times better. Go figure. Also in hot and humid weather my allergies tend to be much more unbearable…thankfully these days I have prescriptions that help a lot.
Back when I was a little gal, my poor parents sometimes were at their wits end with me being a cranky miserable sniffling teary mess…
We sure could use the rains too…nit only is our grass brown, it is crunchy. Yikes. The trees, even the large ones are getting terribly stressed and dropping a lot of their leaves.
I can get to go on vacations in my minds eye when I do the teasers with you each week! Thanks!!

We did get to go on vacation this summer, Of course, a family member owns a condo and let us use it, otherwise we can’t. It’s okay, we took precautions while there same as at home, but at least we had some beach to walk on (very uncrowded, too).
Your comment about women getting “dewy” reminds me of Orson Wells and his comment to the press that “Horses sweat, people perspire, Miss Hayworth glows!” when someone dared suggest she was more than a bit damp while on set.
Of course, that set up the Dennis the Menace comic in which Margaret from down the street tells him, “Horses sweat, men perspire, women glow,” and he answered, “Yer glowin’ like a horse, Margaret!”
