Happy National Coffee Day

 I'm a day late, but the Old Man and I celebrated National Coffee Day. We used our new Bunn coffee maker this morning and each of us had two full cups of great coffee.  We will celebration National Coffee Day every day here at The Compound.

So Much For That

 Yesterday was the last day of the MLB season.  I am very sorry to say that our Reds sucked this season. But we are not giving up on them. We are anxiously waiting for the new season to start next year. 

Flashback Friday

 

I was at the drugstore earlier this week to get the Old Man some multi-vitamins, and I saw that they still have Flintstone vitamins.  Then I remembered the old school Chocks vitamins that they gave me as a kid. Gram would have one out on the kitchen table for me with my breakfast.   I don't think they ever got Flintstone vitamins for me, but I sure do remember Chocks.

Ohio Valley Weather Update

 I am happy to report that today's high was a very pleasant 65 degrees. It was cloudy but we don't care.  It sure beats the mid 90s with high humidity. 

Ohio Valley Weather Update

 So much for the break in the heatwave we had a week and a half ago. The temps have been in the mid- to upper 90s this week.  Relief is in sight, thank goodness. After a forecasted high of 97 today, the forecast is for highs in the upper 70's for the rest of the week  I'll take it. 

Flashback Friday

 

I rarely chew gum now, but as a kid I loved the tiny Chiclets.  At the little store a half a block away from The Compound, you could get a pack of them for just a dime.  As a kid, it was fun and also a challenge to see how much of the pack you could chew at one time.  When you are a kid, the simple things make you happy. 

Update From The Compound

 It's been a crazy busy week here at The Compound. I had an errand to run almost every day this week.  Add to that my mind was preoccupied worrying about two dear friends' dealing with family members having serious health issues. I am hoping for a better week.
