Happy Thursday Everyone! it's another sunny day here today and still no sight of rain in the forecast. We've already broken records for the longest days with no rain and I can't be sure but I think we've also hit records for warmest days for this time of year.
The lawn crew is here this morning doing their last mowing and fall cleanup. It seems extra noisy with the mowers going in addition to leaf blowers, etc. Since it feels more like September it's kind of strange knowing this is it until the spring. It's anyones guess if we'll have a mild winter or a harsh one.
In my family news....my youngest grandson (my sons son) just passed his road test and got his drivers license. He's so happy and sent me a picture of him holding his new drivers license.
My other grandson (oldest daughters son) just auditioned for a music scholarship. We were able to cast his audition on the tv and watch. He's a trumpet player and his talent is amazing. I would brag even if he wasn't all that good but I am going to brag that I was blown away by his audition. I hope he gets the scholarship (even though I don't know how much it's for) Every little bit helps with college expenses.
I was feeling a bit under the weather the past few days but today I feel much better.
I got a decent nights sleep after a few nights of coughing and a stuffy nose.
Nothing much going on here today.
Hope all is going well in your little corner of the myLot world.

I missed being here but I just had a few days of feeling horrible. Hopefully today I can spend more time.
My grandson is so excited to be able to drive. He's been saving his money to buy a truck that he wants.

I was busy over the weekend and then got hit with this horrible cold. My head was just so stuffed and my eyes were watery that being on the computer was just too much.
None of my family has any musical talent so he's the first that I know of. Don't know where he gets it from

@Marilynda1225 It was very humid in here about an hour ago. I was toying with putting the fan on.

I’m home, waiting for the repairs on my car to be completed. There was an O ring leak in the back, and they had to remove the transmission to get to the place where the O ring was located, so it’s taking time. (And it’ll take money. 
)
Hope your grandson gets that scholarship. You’re right, every little bit helps. I remember a TV show in the early 80s, The Paper Chase, based on the movie, where the people in their first year of LAW SCHOOL were paying for tuition by working in a restaurant. I think three full-time jobs won’t pay for it these days!!
Glad you’re feeling better. The weather is yo-yoing here, so my sinuses are very angry. Guess those things go with the change of the seasons!
Have a blessed day!

I'm sure getting your car fixed was expensive especially when they have to pull out the transmission.
Changing seasons really do mess with sinuses and I'm sure that's probably 99% of what's going on with me. I hate having a stuffy nose. It just drives me crazy.
Tuition these days is very expensive. I hope my grandson gets some sort of scholarship money to help offset the next semesters tuition.
Hope you have a good weekend

Happy to see your happy post, that is how they make me feel.
I've been a little quieter than usual lately, due to the politics and not wanting to partake in those discussions, hopefully we are past that now.
Congratulations to both of those grandsons, they are doing amazing.
I hope that somebody makes you some good chicken soup, that would fix you right up.
I made some broccoli soup on Sunday and I use a chicken broth, which always makes me feel good when I eat it.
Love soup for lunches.

@Marilynda1225 The girls were potty trained in the past month, and 'they' suggest letting them go commando at first because underwear feel too much like a diaper and children could forget that they aren't wearing one and let go when they shouldn't. It keeps my hubs hopping to keep an eye on each of them, knowing their little signs when they have to go, and then suggesting or reminding them to go. But that is really the last of the 'baby' for them. They are little girls now. Such a huge milestone.
But I will say, although I didn't read any book, as our son and daughter-in-law did about potty training, our son was trained in just days and not weeks. But he was a single child, not a twin, maybe that has something to do with it. He was night-time trained before his first birthday.

I'm always happy when I get to see milestones with my grandkids. Your little ones are probably hitting milestones left and right these days.
I can certainly understand your comment about all the political discussions. I feel the same way.
Chicken soup does sound good

Congrats to your grandsons!
Nothing much going on here. There's a typhoon nearby but according to the forecast, it will not hit us directly. But will be getting quite windy.
