(Added this again, just in case someone missed it...)

Got a kick out of Gabe's shirt.  Sounds like a fancy vacation!  But it just came, from his other Grandmother.

About my doc visit.  Seems I have what is called Non-Allergic Rhinitis.  Vasomotor / Irritant rhinitis is not caused by an allergen and does not involve an immune mechanism.  But it seems to cause chronic year round symptoms.  Lining of the nasal passages seems to be extra sensitive to irritants (dust, tobacco smoke, perfumes, detergents, odors), temp changes, humidity and air pressure.  Patients have an exaggerated response to ordinary conditions, that most people tolerate without symptoms.

No apparent seasonal pattern of symptoms.  Allergy skin test are negative.

In other words, she can't do anything for me.  Other than give me samples of different nose sprays and inhalants, which she feels may work better, than what I have been using. 

But the diagnosis in itself, is very, very helpful.  When you know what's going on, you can handle it better.

Happy I went, though!!!

Did baking, for both of us.  :-)

Took a pic of this Good Fats/Bad Fats chart, in one of the library books I have out.  In case anyone is interested in some of the advice, about being Paleo.  :-)

(Midsummer Eve was created in 1908 by Edward Robert Hughes, a Pre-Raphaelite. This turn-of-the-century art movement focused on the natural world.)

Don't forget!!!

June 20th, Thursday night, is 'Midsummer Night's Eve.' 

Celebration takes place...  Romance is in the air...  It's the time of Summer Solstice...  The time of the longest day and shortest night of the year...  There are many festivals with the theme of fire...  Giving thanks for the return of the Sun...  As the earth shifts from winter to summer...

Shakespeare left us, his delightful "Midsummer Night's Dream."  Watch the film compact disc, if possible.  Or listen to the music from the film, on CD.

Read my 37th book...  "Brownies and Broomsticks"...  Delightful first book, in new series of cozy mysteries.  The "Magical Bakery Mysteries"...  So glad there are more!

Fri. fun, and Sat. sun...

We had a nearly full day of sun, on Fri.  Wow!!!!  And a purrrrrrfect Saturday is forecast!  Double wow!!!

Yesterday was spent, as I said....  Up at 6am, to watch old Esther Williams films on A&E.  Watched 'till an old black and white one, with no swimming, came on.  Turned that off and baked the bread.

  The bread, which I am not showing.  Because I messed up the recipe, and it did not come out, "pretty."  It's ok to eat, but I'll have to do it again.  More Correctly!  ,-)

Then it was back to more movies, until I had to take a nap.  Missed some of that one.  But then continued my marathon watching, thru the last one, at 8pm.  Wow!!!

I have fun with old movies, by watching to see who did the Set Design on them.  (The name I recognize most, is (click-->) Edwin B.Willis...)  And also have fun, noticing other actors, who later became more famous.

A very young (click-->)  Ricardo Montalban  was in a couple of them.  Oh my wow!!!!!  What a gorgeous man he was!!!

All his life.  Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm....   Yummmmmmmmmmy...  :-)

I read for a while, but had to go to bed.  I was tired!  LOL. 

And woke to beautiful SUN, this (Sat.) morning.  Yessss!!!!!

Wondering, am I the only "Old Movie Fan," out there in Pretty Blog Land?  :-)  I kind-of doubt it.  If you too, are a fan, which kind of "Old Movies," are your favorite?  Or do you like a lot of different types of them?

Friday this and that and this again...

It's been rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain.

But Fri. is sunny.  May cloud up later but...

 

It's sunny now.

Today is for watching Esther Williams old movies, most all day long.

And try to make Elana's Paleo Bread.   Which recipe you can find, by clicking here....  Will mine look like hers, above?  Probably not, but....  I'll try.  :-)

Yes, it's selling Coke, below.  But in a nice and uplifting way.  Found this featred on "The Deepest Well" blog.  Thank you, Aine.

Please click here....   Thank you.  It's very short.

 

"HEY".... You do watch "D.D."...don't you???????????

We are so slow!

Were just introduced to this show, by son next door.

,-))))

Had fun watching some of "Janie"  and "Janie Get Married".....

 Two WWII era old movies, on TCM. 

 I love the clothes and.......

.....the hair styles and the sets.

I love how this lady fancies-up her home, in the summer-time.  Here in my little city...

But sadly, the house you sort-of-see, through the rain drops on the windshield, is looking abandoned.  Sad....

Last year, these signs were all over our area.  And here they are again, this year.  Wondering if anyone else has seen this kind of a sign, around where they live?

"Uncle A.'s" first yellow Old Roses.  And look, I *caught* a bee too!  :-)

 A new perennial, which we got on Sat.  And today, we got 2 more, to go with it.  A clump of flowers, makes a nice showing.  

Could you guess????  It's been raining here, all day today/Mon.
