I have absolutely nothing to blog about! I did however, promise to leave my giveaway open for two posts to give everyone a chance to comment and join in. So, I am sitting here in my jammies, reading blogs while Milo lies on the table waiting for the squirrels to come down from the trees and I thought I would just ramble a bit.~Our temps have been in the low 80's and I have had the windows and doors flung open all week, just enjoying all this fresh air and giving the air conditioning a little vacation.
~It was back to school for Abby and she landed two great babysitting jobs to help support her shopping habit. Yay!
~I finally started reading The Help, which I bought last winter. I have 2 chapters left so don't tell me what happens.
~I read that Steven Spielberg is making the movie and that Claire Danes may have the part of Skeeter and Anne Hathaway the role of Hilly. Sounds good to me. Now who should play Aibileen and Minny?
~Ran errands with Emily Wednesday morning...her errands, not mine. I just HAD to get out of the house.
~The Husband left me his 2~seater sports car today and I have grocery shopping. Will have to strap the bags to the roof.
~Had some sewer problems in the backyard Tuesday morning but was quite entertained by the two most gorgeous Irish plumbers that came to fix it.
~I'm way too old and married to be entertained by cute Irish plumbers.
~Was picking basil in the garden this week and got stung by a bee. This hasn't happened since I was about 5 years old. I really wanted my mom.
~Have a wedding to go to tomorrow and am agonizing over what to wear.
~May cancel going to wedding due to bee sting.
Okay...I've rambled enough. I am looking forward to going to Target for the gift card so I can do a little shopping of my own. I wish everyone the best of luck and want to say Hi to all of the new followers. It's really been a lot of fun. I hope all of you had a good week and that you have an even better weekend!

Hi Jane,
I love what you did with that little table. Are you for hire? Hehe.
I have projects lined up in my head but that is where they will stay for now-in my head.
Less than 4 months- you heard me. Can you even believe it? This year has flown by.
I would love to be entered in your giveaway.
I need to log out as we are having a storm. We need the rain.
big hugs,
Barb
Hi Jane,
You always have something interesting and fun to blog about!
And your not too old to notice the cute Irish plumbers! I would, right along with you! hehe.
What is that saying,"We may be on a diet, but we can still read the menu".
Now go to that wedding and have a blast! Wear something sexy and show off your pretty blonde hair!
Big Hugs,
Cindy
This is SO funny!! LOVe Milo sitting on the table waiting for the squirrels!! Bella would like him....
The bee sting! A wasp sting me on my eyelid once...cried like a baby and called my daddy....some things never change huh!
Go to the wedding...you will have fun! Wear a little black dress....and there will be CAKE!
Have a great weekend!
Lou Cinda :)
Hi Jane...I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your week.
Sorry to hear about the bee sting. I have a slight bee allergy and always have a little benadryl around, as per Dr Z's orders. It isn't severe enough for any other remedy.
I hope you go to the wedding...in the two seater.:-)
Happy Weekend!
Adolphs meat tenderizer...add a small amount of water to create a paste. Put on any bee sting and the sting goes away...
Loved The Help. I didn't know there was a movie in the works. Something to look forward too.
Milo is adorable..! And I'm sorry about the bee sting - but I'm sure you'll find something to wear and head out to that wedding.
xoox,
-maria
I really enjoyed your blog it made me laugh :) As far as the bee sting goes that sucks! I can't remember the last time I was stung by a bee?
xx,
Michelle
Hi Jane, I love this post and love, love, love Milo, what a cute picture and such a cute dog. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Terri
Honey, you are NEVER too old to be entertained by a couple of Irish plumbers!!! Made me laugh.
Penny gave you great advice about the Adolphs meat tenderizer for bee stings. It really works.
I'm still thinking about how great your little table turned out. I might just try something like that this weekend.
Have a great weekend and a fun time at the wedding.
Sounds like a good laying in the hammock and finishing your book kind of day!
Even though you're going to be annoyed to find out that the butler did it.
Oops.
Sorry to spoil the ending!
ha!
You came up with an entertaining post, Irish plumbers and bee sting and all. Don't let the bee sting keep you from the wedding girl!
your rambles are more entertaining than
any of my planned posts!
sorry about the bee sting. so cute you
wanted your mom! not sure if it gets
you out of a wedding, though. :)
Jane, what do they say...you may be old, but you are still breathing...
Go to the wedding and have a great time.
I have never seen a dog on the table waiting for squirrels...too funny!
Have a great weekend.
Hi Jane... I love reading what you have been up to! Sorry you got stung by a bee! Hello Milo... doggie kisses!... xoxo Julie Marie
Jane, love your sense of humor. I say paper your bee stung self and just sit relax and finish up that book. It's a great read! :-)
Your button for your generous "just because gift" is on my sidebar. ~ Sarah
HI Jane, yes you are funny today. Rambling is good for the soul...or so I have heard! I agree with some of the other bloggers...show off that beautiful hair of yours...you will be stunning no matter what you wear! Have fun!
Blessings,
Debbie
"~I'm way too old and married to be entertained by cute Irish plumbers."
Oh My Dear, don't ever say that! When one is too old to still be entertained by thoughts of their younger-man-of-choice, they might as well dig a hole and fall into it!
In fact, I was just blogging here, and listening to "my music" and considering what I'd like to do, if only I were about 35 years younger.
And it didn't include blogging!

aww gosh-- so sorry you got stung..
Milo sure is a handsome fella.
Dont go to the wedding if its gonna cause you stress.. trust me-- they'll get married anyway lol..
hugs
Sonny
I love to read posts that sound just like girl talk over coffee. I'm sorry about the bee sting...and we are never too old for Irish plummers:)
Boy do I know the name of that tune called "Nothing to wear!"
I had to go to a funeral last Wed and UGH! It was 105 out and killing me to pull out a black bag, black shoes and a black dress. Ugh. One of those "Life happens" moments.
I think you rambled just fine. I'll listen any time you want. :)
Have a good weekend. Hope the sting is better!
:) Karen
Hi Jane,
I'm a fan of rambling! We could have fun if I lived close by, rambling a long in pj's! Hope the sting feels better and you go and enjoy that wedding. Also, enjoy that sunshine! We have a lot of rain lately...
Have a good weekend,
Maureen

Sounds to me like you have been having some fun and games! I love your little table but I really wanted to wish you well with that bee sting-poor thing! I hope you feel better soon.
Take care and best wishes,
Natasha.
Oh Janie, I would like to have a life just like where I do not have to do anything, lol. Milo looks so relaxed there. I am NOT selling MY Polish pottery. The ones I am selling are duplicates. They were ones I thought I bought on a bargain that I meant to sell on Ebay. I sold quite a few but I got tired posting so it's easier to sell now that I have a store. Thanks again for the cross. I really like it and I feel like it is a blessing....Christine
Hi Jane.....sounds like you have lots goin' on.
I read the Help and really liked it. Hope that bee sting doesn't give you trouble. Take care.

Jo
Thanks for stopping by my neck of the woods! ;)cute irish plumbers! LOL
The Irish plumbers...LOL! Take some Benadryl tonight for the bee sting, and definitely go to the wedding. However, run to Dress Barn first for their summer dress sales...50% off.
I really want to see a pic of you driving down the street with your groceries strapped to the top of the car!
Our temps finally went down low enough today to turn off the air. Right now the sun is getting ready to set and it's only 74. I feel like I can breathe again.
I'm not married, could you send those plumbers to my house? Thanks, you're a real pal.
Hugs
WOW, Jane...what a week...sounds like you need a getaway...you know 2 or 3 weeks...perfect weather, perfect food, perfect Irish plumbers...hahah! You silly girl!
You put a smile on my face!
Have a beautiful weekend~
;-D Kathleen
Hi Jane!
Irish plumbers, bee stings and weddings! LOL! You are so funny and all those thoughts sure made an interesting post.
Milo is so cute.
hugs
Sissie
I want to read that book! :) Haven't picked it up yet but that's on my to-do list.
Lucky you, being able to open the windows and turn off the air conditioning. Too much pollen in my little world. :(
YAY for Abby! :)
You're never too old to be entertained by cute plumbers. ;) Never.
Sorry about the bee sting. Hope you go ahead to the wedding and that you find the PERFECT outfit to wear! :)
What a cute, everyday post, Jane. Sometimes it's nice to just learn about the ordinary stuff that's going on in life. I'm just sitting here, at 10 at night. The grandbabies are in bed and we've sent son and DIL off for the evening - so guilt-free reading of blogs for me!
Well put on a pretty dress and if it is too tight then tell everyone you are swollen from the bee sting. Poor baby.
Hi Jane, I loved your ramblings and seeing Milo lay on the table. Did the groceries fit in your hubby's two sitter? You are never to old to look just don't touch or something to that effect. Have a great weekend. I think I left you a note on the previous post, but If i didn't I would love to enter your drawing. Your Missouri Friend.
Love that picture of Milo on the table! I enjoyed your ramblings. Can't believe you didn't take a photo of the Irish plumbers to post! Sounds like they would almost make plumbing problems fun! Why do we always worry about what to wear to a wedding? Everybody's looking at the bride anyway. laurie
Are you crazy? You'll never be too old for entertaining cute Irish plumbers. Sorry about your bee sting...ouch! Don't miss that wedding...there will be cake, right?
Jane I had to giggle when you said you wanted your Mommy after your bee sting. Even at my age, I still say I want my Mommy too when I get a boo boo!
I hope entertaining those two cute Irish plumbers helped ease your pain a bit;) ;)
Enjoy that cool weather! I sure am here! I might even need a sweater tomorrow when it drops down to the 70's!!
Hugs, Sherri:)
Well, you sweet girl...for someone who had absolutely nothing to blog about, you certainly held my attention. :):)
Hugs,
Mona
Send some of your stormy weather here....please???
LOVED 'The Help', hate bees, love the weather we've been having, hate trying to choose what to wear for a wedding. LOL Enjoy!!
hee hee hee! we love your rambelings! Have a great weekend -enjoy the great weather we're having & hope you find "the perfect outfit" for the wedding!
Hey, Janie! Sorry to hear about the bee sting. Do you ever take benadryl for insect bites? I do in case of a reaction. AND there is something you can get at the drug store to paint on insect bites, and it works. It might even be called something like Sting. ;-)
Hope you have a good weekend. I am nursing Mr. Mapgie as I mentioned, and I now have a funeral of a close friend on Monday so will be driving there. I will trade you a wedding for a funeral!
XO,
Sheila :-)
This was fun Jane ~ loving the rambling. Got stung last year by a bee and taped a penny to the spot and it works ~ it really does. I read The Help this summer ~ won it in a giveaway ~ I really liked it and can see that it would be a good movie. Hope you are having a fabulous week-end ~ have fun at the wedding!
Good Morning Jane, girl let me ask you did they have the plumbers crack ha ha!! I mean what the heck you never too old to sneak a peek girl...
Girl I have a sport's car and you would be shocked at what I can pack in that baby...Some times when I get home from shopping Len just keeps pulling stuff out of it and asked me where I sat to drive..Oh well I will always figure out a way to bring home a new treasurer ha ha!! Hope you have a GREAT weekend my friend..hey we were 107 here yesterday and today I'm cold...Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
Love to see a dog never leave its post of vigilance. Don't you just love Target?
Brenda
Jane-I even enjoy your rambling! Milo is so funny on the table. Our daughter's dog is a table sitter too :)! The Help is being filmed not far from here and a friend of a frien is doing make up on the set. I would love to go visit. Cicely Tyson has a role too. I hope you have finished the book. I can't remember what year Abby is in school-- a senior? Have fun enjoying the nice weather and the fun car! And yes, you can still enjoy the plumbers as long as you look and don't touch :) Now, I have rambled too. Off to make dinner after a long day in the yard!
LOL, your ramblings are funny! Hey, on some days I would beg to be entertained by handsome Irish plumbers.
Ouch! Bee stings are the worst! I haven't had one in about 20 years, but it still feels fresh on my knuckle.
Wear whatever you want to the wedding. Just go and be part of someone's exciting day. It'll be inspiring!
Love your ramblings ~ :-) Hope your weekend is enjoyable. I can only imagine having the cooler temps. We had rain last Tues & Wed...and Wed it was in the low
70's all day and overcast. I was out a lot and so enjoyed it!
Hope you're having a great weekend ~
xoxo
Pat
I'm laughing, because I DO enjoy rambling, I do it alot, myself!
xo,
Debra
Hi Jane, I am so behind in visiting everyone as I have been weeding and installing a wahing machine. I like hearing what you are up to. Milo's photo is sweet. I always detest a bee sting. BEE careful. hugs♥olive
Loved stopping by here! Your table is beautiful...I have to reread it so maybe I can do a table I have the same way. lol
Hope your over the sting by now and enjoyed the wedding
Thanks for a chance to win such a great giveaway
Maggie
I just started reading the Help this week for our book club next month, I'm already loving it. Heard great things about it too.
Hi Jane! I am a new follower. I want to thank you so much for the kindness that you've extended to me in blogland. It really means a LOT!! I truly appreciate it and know how blessed I am to be a part of such a kind and caring blogging community. I haven't done my part in communicating much over the past few months. I find it's for the very reason you mentioned here...I have nothing really interesting to say most days. But you know, I really enjoyed reading what you wrote. It's a pleasure just connecting. Milo is adorable. I have a precious pooch too! I will look forward to visiting with you. Take care.
I so enjoyed your rambling Jane. You had me laughing at the Irish plumbers. What too old???? Never!!!
So sorry about the bee sting too. Maybe The Husband could kiss it better for you?!
That Milo just gets cuter and cuter...don't tell me he's eyeing the plumbers too!!!
Thank you Jane for your sweet words to me about my post about my sweet blessing. You will never know what it meant to have you take the time to leave it for me. I am blessed to know you.
hugs
"Ouch" on the bee sting, Jane! :-( Make sure you've gotten the stinger out so it doesn't get infected.
Why, oh why didn't you get a photo of the cute Irish plumbers while they were working?? Now THAT would have been something to blog about!!! LOL
Hugs,
Rett
OUCH, a bee sting is certainly NO fun but riding in a sports car should cool it off:)
Irish plumbers? Hmmmmmmm!
Have a blessed day! HUGS!
Hi Sweet Janie! You're ramblings were so very entertaining! :) It gave us all a peek inside your life a wee bit more, and how fun it was! I know the feeling about having "blogger's constipation" (as someone once called it)and you sit there and wonder what to say. But I truly believe the spirit moves moves you and then the words just come tumbling out to everyone's delight. Hope you made it home with all your groceries intact and that Milo got to chase some squirrels. :) Have a wonderful day!
xoxo laurie@heavens-walk
Hi Jane!
Loved your journal
update ~ sounds
like you had
cabin fever and
it's only August!
I'd love to know
what kind of dog
Milo is? And Layla?
Off to check out
your giveaway....
My kids started back
to school, today.
I miss them, already!
xx Suzanne
I hope that bee sting didn't bother you too much! When we went away on our little NH getaway, I got stung by a bee on my bottom lip! I looked like I had a botox job done! lol Thank goodness it happened at night (outside at a restaurant no less), so being the end of the day, not many people saw it! lol
Hope your day is beautiful!
-Danielle
Hello sweet lady...
Ohhh my...the dog days of summer are upon us! No offense to Milo of course! hehe! It has been a lazy last couple of weeks for me as well...but I was needing a little rest after having my daughter and grandchildren here! Hehe! Well sweet friend, I am sooo sorry to hear that you were stung by a bee...ouch! And hey, a bee sting sounds like a great excuse to me for getting out of going to a wedding! wink!
I just had to come by after reading that sooo sweet note that you just left for me! Thank you, Janie!!! I always enjoy your visits...and your sweet notes always make my heart smile!!! I hope that my note is finding you well, my friend...and that that bee sting is much better!!!
Have a beautiful and blessed day, Darlin'!
Chari @Happy To Design
PS...ohhh, about using sheets for my summer sewing project...I needed so much fabric that it was just the "cheap"...urr...uhh...I mean inexpensive way to go! hehe! They really are great if you have a project where you need some wide widths and lengths...less seams!
Janie,
So sorry about your bee sting! A wasp got me a few years ago on my eyelid and it was agony!
He filled my face up with venom and it was swollen for a week..and tender for 3 months! I do hope you were able to go to the wedding and enjoy yourself. It was fun to read your normal life goings and all the groceries made it home alright! :)
My daughter and friend loved the 'Help'. I really need to get it.
I am glad the cute Irish plumbers were able to help you with your sewer problem and you got some entertainment while doing so!!! :D
~♥
I added myself to follow your blog. You are more than welcome to visit mine and become a follower if you want to.
God Bless You ~Ron
Hello Gorgeous Friend!
I have missed you terribly and trying to get back to blogging and visiting with my buddies and seeng your beautiful tablescapes!
You have been a very busy lady, hope your bee sting is better my friend.
Good to hear from you and visit with you!!
Big Hugs,
Karyn
Sounds good to me Jane! I have The Help on my bedside table...so mumms the word!
Jeanne :)
OK Jane I say I dare you to go buy a lamp shade and come up with something by Wed....you can do it, then you have something to blog about, and join some parties:):) Thanks for your kind visits. Milo is beautiful. Did someone say cute Irish plumbers??
Oh I hope the bee sting doesn't affect you like it does me!! I am so allergic to bug bites/stings. I wish you would send some of that cool/fling the window open weather down here. IT'S STILL HOT!!!!!!! Hubby is hanging in there. We both are. He has had some complications every day. Seems we take 2 steps forward & 1 back. BUT, at least we are still moving forward. Thanks for asking. Hope you got all those groceries tied to the top. Funny picture of that in my mind... HUGS!
Charlene
I like your rambling...and ouch! I have not had a bee sting for a very long time either.
Have fun at that wedding if you go.
Oh and I adore your sweet dog..MILO! oxxoxo
What a cutie he is. He would love my backyard for sure! Hope you bee bite gets better soon~
Ouch! Jane I don't like bee stings either, they really do hurt, and when it begins to heal it starts itching, go figure!! I enjoyed reading your ramblings today, I say forget the grocery shopping and take that sports car for a long ride.and while you are at it come by and pick me up. lol
I would so like to be entered in your giveaway!
Thanks for such a fu post!
Hus, Sue
Jane, Hope the bee sting is better. Just a correction - You are calling me Paula. The name is Penny. My parents were saving their "pennies" for the baby before I was born, so that became my nickname. Believe it or not,my real name is Michele. But I don't want to confuse you further. Just call me Penny. LOL.
I enjoy readin your blog, even the everyday things that go on....I probably ran into you today at Target!!!
I enjoyed your ramblings. I found it quite entertaining. Hope the bee sting is better.
Jane
Oh Jane
poor thing.. stung by bee!!! that's no good.... I remember how horrid that was as a kid... usually at the local swimming pool!! why there I don't know!!
Well... If you can't find something to wear to wedding.. I'd say the trauma of the bee sting is a fine excuse!!!
You can pass the Irish plumbers my way if you like.. although.. i suspect the bill would be huge with a plane trip to Sydney included..
Have a lovely week.. xxx Julie
Oh goodness Jane, I hope your are better now, bee stings are the pits! Did you get to go to the wedding? I hope you did go and I hope you did wear something oo-la-la-ish!
Hugs,
Nancy
Too funny! I like your sense of humor!
I've never read that book, but it sounds good so I may have to get it. Our kids are still not in school yet. They go back after Labor Day. I think we are the last in the country to send our kids back to school!
xoxo,
Kim
I loved your ramblings - here's to Irish plumbers and bee stings!!
Sharon
My French Country Home
I love your ramblings, Jane! They're the best, and you totally put a smile on my face! I hope the groceries made it home in one piece. Geesh...men and their toys! ;)
Have a wonderful week!!
Well pooh! I can't believe I missed your give-away. Congratulations to the winner. I used to swell so bad from a bee sting as a girl. Wonder if I got over that? Table looks darn cute. A can of white paint does wonders doesn't it? Hope you are having a fun holiday weekend. xo
Aw, Milo is so cute. We've had cooler temps too. It's great to open the windows and let the fresh air in.
Ouch, a bee sting! I got stung as a kid and it wasn't fun.
