I am glad they didn't have chocolate on them. It would of taken away from the great taste and I probably wouldn't of tried them. The teenagers that were there were eating it like popcorn!

You will love the screened patio. The mosquitoes have gotten much worse since we first moved here. Screening in half of our deck last year has been a true blessing. We use it much more than we used to use it.

I was thinking the same but then I remember visiting Cambodia a few years ago. There were some snacking on roasted crickets. 😳 I thought should I? Thinking this might not go good I tossed one in my mouth. I was so surprised! They tasted good.

As we were sitting in the screened in deck it started storming so hard the rain blew through the screen and we had to come in. That was an hour ago. It is currently 70⁰ out! Hard to believe at this time of the year.

@lenquixote66 It sounds like you are surrounded by loved ones! I hope you enjoy the celebration of your birthday. Happy birthday!

We are getting a break today. High will be 83⁰. Next week is forcast to be mid to high 90s. We are enjoying the deck today.

Happy Anniversary! Thanks for the live! Hope you have a great b2 cruise!

Thanks for posting. Great pics. I can't believe the 2 flipped over as I was replying! 😳

Look how one of the cucumbers grew through the fence. 😆

Happy Anniversary to you and Jim! A Japanese restaurant sounds great. And happy birthday to your daughter.

Well Bonnie, looks like if you go out, find some shade so it only feels like 104⁰ 😅

Humid hear too. Current temp 87⁰ F RealFeal 109⁰ 76% humidity. So temps don't always reflects how it feels.

Phoenix AZ forcast for the next 10 days temps between 112⁰F to 117⁰F.

When she texted back she said you are so sweet to worry about her. I agreed.

Isn't it crazy good how colorize works. You may of noticed that the Nueral Filters has a picture restore feature to remove cracks. I didn't have as much luck with it but the cracks in the picture I tried it on were really deep separated cracks. To get rid of the background cracks I used to just cut out the subject and replace the background.

That is my older brother and sister. It was taken probably around the time I was born.

It's amazing some of the editing that can be done on a phone. My Samsung editing have an erase feature that works great.

Debbi, Brillo is doing fine. She works night shift. Example I texted to make sure its OK to post she is working and she responded at 3:38am. I know her humor is still fine. I sent her a 2004 picture of my daughters eating cookies and she laughed and warned of games played.

Have you tried the Neural Filters yet? There are several options. I used colorized on the following black and white pic taken in the 50's of my older brother and sister. It took about 5 or ten minutes to get it to look like this! Amazing to me. I love the skin tone. Could of done better but it was a quick try.

If you haven't tried a Cherokee Purple tomato you need to try one. Very meaty and tasty. The Sloppy Joe sauce that was used to make the sandwich was made from several things from the garden.

In 2006 I used the clone tool. This time I mainly used the Remove tool. It is found along with the Healing tools. On one spot Content Aware Fill worked. Any artifacts were easily cleaned up with the Remove tool.

I have enjoyed photography for a long time. I also have used Photoshop since the 90s to retouch. I have been going through old pics which I may overshare. In 2006 a friend wanted me to retouch some of the photos he took while visiting Cambodia. Here is one of the originals. I wanted to surprise him by removing all the people from his temple picture. Back then it was not an easy task but once started I would be determined to get it done. It took hours to get it right. Here was the finished product from 2006. I was curious how long it would take me with Photoshop now. A reminder, a lot is new to me now so if I try this a few months from now it would probably take half the time but I spent about 30 minutes on the original today and this is how it came put. So fun.

Like Bonnie said. I love your reports! I am sure most here will want to see your report so please post a link. If live let me know so I can help flip pics around if needed, 😂. I understand there are plus and minuses to doing a live. Choose what ever way will help you enjoy the journey the best.

I am back playing with Photoshop. It has been several years. A lot to relearn especially on a MacBook instead of Windows. I found a B&W of my grandparents. I believe the pic was taken in the 70's. I was surprised how good Photoshop is at colorizing a B&W.

Thanks Kenzie is in Destin. I loved this pic of her curly hair! Caden was really missing us so he was able to FaceTime us last night,
