But, I am glad to know your car passed inspection and that your new driver’s license is on the way. I am long overdue an eye exam, so need to jump on that before I end up failing my driving exam. I am not surprised that you are back to work on your landscaping project. Please take care and don’t overdo. I have been on a kind of blogging break while I try to catch up on a big cleanup, inside and out.

I had a brand new car, and the first year I got the sticker because it was brand new from the dealer. The second year, I had to have it inspected. It was less than a year old, but still needed an inspection. Back then it was EVERY car, not just older ones. Maybe they have changed the rules since I lived there.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636682361472621776.post-87713338651481277032021-09-15T09:08:25.921-05:002021-09-15T09:08:25.921-05:00beautiful photo! 🍁beautiful photo! 🍁Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702620069148109246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636682361472621776.post-83644000910672593622021-09-15T07:07:32.739-05:002021-09-15T07:07:32.739-05:00Hi thank you for visiting. yes I am bumbed about t...Hi thank you for visiting. yes I am bumbed about the oven especially now going into fall and winter. there is allot one can do in a slow cooker, and I may just set up a spot to bake pies over and under coals in my dutch oven outdoors. kathyinozarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644138355524729156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636682361472621776.post-60704552845984467862021-09-15T07:06:08.610-05:002021-09-15T07:06:08.610-05:00yes we have to go in every 4-6 years here in Misso...yes we have to go in every 4-6 years here in Missouri as we age I think we have to go back every 4 years-yes I am bumbed about the oven. we had planned to replace the whole stove one day since it is old and I would rather have a gas stove-but that needs to wait awhile.

Missouri must have eased up on the drivers license test-now we just get a vision test, and have to get all of the signs right except for one. so it was really fast and easy.<br /> Back in the 70s when I was living in colorado they had a very difficult test, you had to pretty much memorize most of the book-and they asked some really bad questions. on my third try I told the people-I am not dumb, I know how to drive, know the road signs and rules but this test is built to fail-he passed me the 3rd time. wondering how long it took them to change it. Illinois had difficult written tests too. and the new place we go to now is in a very old building-like their courthouse-very small and never a line and soooo friendly and happy people working there I love it.<br /> I will be so happy when the high temps and humidity go away. we are suppose to get a little rain today-we'll see as we get missed allot of times kathyinozarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644138355524729156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636682361472621776.post-25171593095882264872021-09-15T06:56:04.706-05:002021-09-15T06:56:04.706-05:00thank you Valerie I learned my lesson-a month of b...thank you Valerie I learned my lesson-a month of barely being able to walk up and down the stairs to get to my car or to the mail box-I will figure something out for moving these rocks.<br /> I shouldn't have waited over a month-he was on vacation one week, when I stopped in about it-hopefully this will be an easy fix. kathyinozarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644138355524729156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636682361472621776.post-22834561062384203612021-09-15T03:33:14.212-05:002021-09-15T03:33:14.212-05:00That is such a beautiful Fall photo!

I remember the woes I had when I had to remove my window tinting from my side windows in my car. The only time a car is inspected in KS is if you move here like I did or if you buy a new/different car.<br /><br />I also remember you had to take a written test to get your driver's license in MO. They had stupid questions like how many tickets can you get in a year and not have your license revoked. Lots of questions about points. They should have focused more on the driving aspect, like how far behind another car you should stay in order to stop safely. <br /><br />In KS, you only take a written test the first time you get a license. Like when I moved from MO to KS, I had to take a written AND a driving test. Now all I do is go in with the proper materials and pass my vision test. I had to do that this year (OOPs, 2020) and I told the lady I had to put my glasses on for the eye test. I told her I didn't care if I ever drove again, as long as I could vote. You need a valid current license to vote in KS. <br /><br />Oh the memories.<br /><br />I think we will be under 100 today (Wed). It rained awhile ago, but it's now very humid and sticky. I hope it cools for you. This summer the heat has been brutal.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636682361472621776.post-81106820598984128832021-09-15T02:16:16.294-05:002021-09-15T02:16:16.294-05:00Hi Kathy, please be careful with those rocks, don&...Hi Kathy, please be careful with those rocks, don't hurt yourself.

I have to say this is the first year I feel my body really aging on me-and I will be 72 next month. I had noticed unwanted weight gain in my early 60's that was a real struggle for me.

Actually feels cool to us after a summer of temperatures reaching 120 and up. I had to get a new stove a couple of months ago because the broiler (which I use a lot) and one burner went out on the old one that we had for a very long time. The closer to home you can take care of necessary business, the better.

It seems I’ve always felt that way about entering every new decade. I’m only 2 years shy of 80 now, and I’m wondering what I will notice them!
