well I just dropped by to bid you all a good night and sweet dreams.

Lloyd

Well what a nice, no. a great. surprise to find a post from Joanie.  We miss you and anxious to see you back on here on a regular basis. Just keep working with your rehab folks and get back soon.'

Well along with the good comes the bad.  We got a call from an old friend in Del Rio tonight and another good friend was found dead in his home.  His wife is in a nursing home suffering from Alzheimer and he had not been to see her for three days and he was faithful in visiting her morning and evening everyday.  They called this friend (the nursing home) to advise her of this and she got hold of the police who went to the home and found him.  Sad and depressing.  But God knows best.  God bless them both.

We didn't have but three of us for our bible study this morning but we had an excellent study and discussion.
One verse reminded me of "us":

50 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with each other.”

I am curious how you interpret this verse.  I will give you my view after reading some of yours.

I am off to bed.  God Bless each of you,  Sweet Dreams and good night. 

And God bless and comfort Diane and RIP Bill.

So happy to see that Our Joan popped in to say hello to us.  You are certainly missed! JOAN, and we look forward to the day you can return on a regular basis. 

CAROL, the same thing happened to me when I was a patient of Dr. Baker’s.  I sure miss not going to her for my care! But we travel too much also, so their preferred plan just would not work for me. 

Son Mark met my Dad for breakfast this morning before he drove out of Phoenix for his new home in California.  Mark FaceTimed me and I got to see and talk to my dad.  Love these iPhone so much at times. 

I have had a bit of a slight cold the past couple of days...I hope to be rid of it soon. 

Loved seeing your picture GLORIA de.  Thank you Jeanne Lee for posting it for us to see. 

Pleasant dreams to EVERYFRIEND.

Jenny

Joan:  Best wishes on your rehab - it was so comforting to read your note!

Gloria de:  Nice picture - it looks like a good fresh air day.

Jenny:  Send me what you decided on for insurance, if you can.  Thanks - we are in a rush today.It was nice of Mark to visit his grandpa.  Wishing a smooth move for Mark.

Good morning Everyfriend!  I'm up but I'm not sure I'm "attem" yet.  So I'll just wish you all a good dzy znd I'll wait for my morning coffee to kick in.  Not much on the agenda today.

Good morning everyone...

I too am up, not so sure about the attem though. I feel the effects from yesterdays raking...ain't age grand!!!  I am going to take hubby out for supper tonight for his birthday, that is about it that I have plans for.
Looks like it had rained over night so I am glad the pine needles are done.

Lloyd, I put the needles around the outside of the garden to help keep the weeds down. Never ending job with those weeds!

Better scoot, enjoy your day everyone.

Good Morning everyone. I am up hobbling around. we have a light drizzle again today early Morning. 69º mostly cloudy and going to 78º and mostly mostly cloudy today. never made it to shop yesterday and most likely will not today.
this getting old is not what it is cracked up to be. have a great day everyone.

Lloyd

Good Morning Everyone!


Have an early doctors apmt so better get myself cleaned up.

Hope everyone finds their "attem".  I think I saw mine around here somewhere.

Good morning everyfriend.  Thank you all for your kind words.

Jeanne Lee--I was having trouble with site access so asked for a new password.  Please cancel that request.  My son got things fixed.

Oh, Good morning, Joan.   It is just so nice to come in here and see your pretty face along with your message.  I hope that means you are feeling so much better and anxious to be back with your friends.  I can tell you that we all are so anxious to have you back.   It tells us that you are getting stronger and stronger each day.  Keep up the good work !!

I hope you have a great day.

Joy

Good morning everyone, I have something new, the PT that has been coming here ordered me a belt with pads that run with a TENS and pulsate on the spots on my back that bother me. Tried it yesterday and it did feel good. Now to get to do it by myself and get the pads in the right spots. I think my biggest problen is all the velcro, have trouble pulling the straps apart.

AMY  we got into the mid 80's here yesterday. Glad my AC is still set up because I had it running again.

GLORIA de  been many years since I had roast duck. I used to roast them and we all enjoyed them.

JUNE  only one time I could not find my cellphone. I called it and could hear it is the broom closet.  Found it on the floor. I hang my winter jacket there in cold weather and it fell out of the pocket.

JANE  nothing better than home made applesauce.

JEANNE LEE  thanks for the link.

GLORIA de  wonderful photo. Beautiful day to be at the ocean and enjoy it. The Atlantic is deadly in an Nor'easter. On TV they keep telling people here to stay off the ledges and rocks along the shore but there are always some who think they know better and will be swept off into the water. Then those who rescue them are in danger of loosing their lives. Even on a calm day some of those waves come way up.

AMY  Happy Birthday to your husband.

JOAN  Wonderful to see you show up. You are so missed by all of us. Prayers and hugs, hope each day you feel stronger.

Hi Everyone.  It is another clear and beautiful day but no rain in sight.  The housekeeper has arrived. I don't think we will go out to eat as we often do on the day she comes since we ate out yesterday.  I plan a quiet and very laid back day today as only got about 4-5 hours of sleep last night.  I was really tired after a very busy day but just couldn't go to sleep even though I wasn't in any pain.

Yesterday was one of those days that I don't want to repeat, at least not very often.  It got started when I came to my office and found my computer monitor had a blank screen.  I had to reboot it several times and it seemed that many things had changed.  I had a doctor's appointment at 9 am with my new GP.  It was just to get established and I liked him and his office is in North Augusta rather than about 30 minutes away.  I got right in and out so decided to stop at Publix for my flu shot as they were offering a $10 gift card when you got your flu shot there.  I had another appointment at 11:15 with my foot doctor and so came home and picked up Pat so she could drive home after the procedure.  I was in an out of the Podiatrists office in about 30 minutes.  He removed both of my big toe nails.  I couldn't believe it was so quick and painless.  My instructions were to come home and put my feet up as much as possible for the rest of the day.  He gave me a couple of prescriptions and so on the way we stopped at Diablo's Tex-Mex Restaurant and had our big meal of the day and then went on to Walmart and Pat went in and got the prescriptions.  I came home and laid down for a while. 

When I got up yesterday afternoon I went to use my Chromebook computer only to find I had apparently in getting the desktop working yesterday morning messed up the Chrome browser settings.  It took me about 4 hours trying to get everything back the way I wanted them but finally succeeded.  I did come back in my office and make the airline reservations for Pat's sister to come and visit with us later this month.  Then last evening she called Pat to tell her she had been broadsided in her car and thought she might have a broken ankle.  However, later she called to say it wasn't broken but just a bad sprain.  We haven't heard from her today but sure she must be pretty sore.  Fortunately she wasn't at fault and her nephew was able to drive her car away from the accident.  I purchased trip cancellation insurance with the plane ticket so if she isn't able to make the trip I hopefully can get my money back on the tickets.  My SIL insisted last evening she still plans to make the trip.

Joan, what a treat to see your posting.  Glad you were able to get back on line. 

Amy, happy birthday for your husband. Hope you have a delicious meal out today. 

Since I have been so wordy in my posting about I am going to pass on other comments today. 

Good afternoon, I this beautiful warm day.

First off Joan, what a nice  happy surprise to see your post. As everyone has written you are so missed.

amy, Happy birthday to your hubby, both of you enjoy your dinner.

Gloria, it has been a few years since I have had a good roast duck dinner and this one was good.  Long Island duck use to be so famous ,but now I think there is only one duck farm left.  The people came out from the city, and would complain about them, when they built next door to a duck farm.

Well I did it to day, I went to Homemakers for the first time, had a great time, seeing all my old friends after the summer off. Came home, and saw the outside cat was hungry so took him some food, after that I do not know what happen, but I was laying on the deck, I came down hard on my left knee and side. Right now as I set here and write, I feel things hurting more.  I was lucky my nephew was here, to get me up.

  Gloria de:  So sorry about your fall and your knee pain. 

Gloria De, I hope you didn't suffer any lingering injury or pain from you fall.  If the pain persist you may to have it checked out.

I am so sorry that you fell and hurt yourself. 
I understand just how confusing that might be.

I hope that you did not break everything..

   There's Joan!    , Joan!!!!

Up until now, this has been a discombobulated day!
 
First of all,  I woke up for the "usual reason" about 4:30 a.m. and could not go back to sleep. Sorta cat-napped in the recliner until 6:00, tried to go back to bed, gave up and got up to stay at 7:00.

Stumbled around trying to get out the door to do errands by 10:00 and had a business call that slowed me down until 10:30. 

Errands were all around town and #1 son was coming for lunch at 12:30.   Got home at 12:00 and alternated bringing in groceries and putting left-overs in the oven to heat.

Son arrived a bit early and so did the business caller, who was supposed to come at 12:45 p.m.

Finally got son fed, business taken care of and both of them out the door shortly before 2:00.  Then, of course, I had to clean up lunch things and put away the groceries.

I'm going to be a Recliner Radish for the rest of the afternoon....probably with some

Wishing Everyfriend Everywhere an Enjoyable Day.

A Good Friday HELLO to all. 

We are at Son Brian’s home.....Bob is helping him hang a few things.  Yesterday he came to our home to help Bob with a couple of projects.....it sure is nice to have him here. 

Good to see your post, JOAN.  Things are starting to feel pretty good around here with you checking in. 

Oh goodness, GLORIA de.  I am sorry to read about your fall, but sure happy your nephew was there to pick you up.  I really did enjoy your seashore photo. 

LARRY, sorry to read about your computer mishaps, but happy that you got them all back up and running.  Having both big toe toenails removed gave me a painfull thought, but it sounds like so far you are doing well. 

GLORIA, good to read that you enjoyed the new belt that connects to the TENS machine, however I can understand that getting it secured around you is not an easy task.  My Boston Son took the boys on a train ride to pick apples and pears somewhere and they really had a good time.  It is a family farm that has been in business for many, many years.  Made me think about your son and you when the years were good and he had apples to pick😪

MARK arrived safely at his new home yesterday afternoon and I just got a text saying his lady and the kitty arrived there safely this afternoon.  Now they can get settled in to their new California life. 

CALLIE, sounds like your house was a bit hectic with a quick lunch with your son and the business caller both there.  I hope you can have a peaceful afternoon.  I suppose you have been watching the news from Leadville about the welcome sign coming down?  We are all pretty sad this happened, but guess you ca; not stand in the way of progress! 

Grand doggie Oliver and I am going to go out in the yard and enjoy some rays.......enjoy the rest of your day, EVERYFRIEND!

Jenny

Gloria de, I am so sorry to hear of your fall.  We nonagenarians have to be extra careful with our footsteps.  I nearly fell by the mailbox today and I don't know what I would have done.  I hope you don't have too many bruises, aches and pains. 

Callie, I've had early mornings like you had where I haven't been able to get back to sleep.  It is nothing unusual for me to be on the computer at 4 am or 5 am.  I often go back to bed and sometimes can go back to sleep, but not always.

Mary Ann

Jenny,  actually, I asked the business person to come while son was here so he could be in on the conversation.  Would have preferred to have had the groceries put away and lunch more organized....but it was o.k.  Business person politely declined eating.

Yes, I have seen the Facebook pix and video about the "Leadville Wall" welcome sign coming down.  But I've never seen the reason for doing so.
Not sure everyone considers this "progress".    Have also read various posts complaining about "outsiders" buying up houses for vacation homes and making it difficult for locals to afford to buy one.  Things have certainly changed there - and I'm glad I'm not there to experience it.

Mary Ann,  if I hadn't been determined to get out and do my errands, I could have slept until time to fix lunch.  Have been sleepy all day but not particularly tired.   We're supposed to get thunderstorms between midnight and 4:00 a.m.  I'll bet I sleep right through them.

Gloria de,  I'm so sorry that the good time with your friends ended with a fall.  Hope you're feeling better.

Gloria RI,  love the picture of you on the beach.  I think I've told about driving over to Rehoboth Beach when we were in D.C. Spring Break of 1976 so our sons could see the Atlantic Ocean.  Wish I'd known more about the history; we would have done some sight-seeing.

Sleep well, Everyfriend and have Pleasant Dreams.

I am late coming in today. I will try to catch up….Hal, I am puzzling over how  to make salt "salty" again. I wonder, was saltiness a terminology  used in Christian behavior ? Like Pride or jealousy or greed will change a Christian behavior. so we must be aware that we can fail, lose our "saltiness" , by failing to be honest in our Christian behavior. But if another Christian recognizes our failing he can help us by kindly showing us our failure, so we can become "salty" again….flavorful, believable, kind, etc. What say you, Hal ?

Bis…another nice message from you ! I'm sure Jeanne Lee will take care of the password for you. I LOVE you dear lady.

Gloria, I had done the same as you in the past..dialed my cell phone.  Sadly to say, I did not copy down my cell phone number. Now I have it copied loud and clear.

Gloria de. I pray your fall did not cause any prolonged pain or problem for you. At our age a fall can cause  a lot of serious things to happen. May God be with you and keeping you safe.

Larry, my Gary had to have a large toenail removed too, and said it caused no pain. I could not have it done if needed, as any minor injury takes forever for healing to occur due to the artery disease. I hope you heal quickly and safely.

I went down for lunch with friends today, then back down at two p.m. to enjoy the "Singing Good Timers". It is a group of people our age that come here frequently and entertain us with our style of music. So with two "outings" I am weary now so will stay at home the rest of the day. I brought home half a sandwich, and some veggies and dessert which I will go enjoy now before getting ready for an early bed and book.

Hope to be back to say "goodnight" if anyone is still up. June

Hee I am thanking you all again, for concerns about my fall. About 4 PM I could not bend my knee, so I went to the new walk in Clinic. they were so kind to me when I went in.   The doctor had the same name as my OB gyN doctor year ago. Seems that was his father, and he had worked in southampton Hosp. ER for 20 years. He knew a lot of the doctors and nurses that I knew. Long story short, they took x rays of my knee and hip.  I had 3 open bleeding wounds that he took care of.  My knee looked OK, but he saq  a spot on my hip, he wants me to check out in a day too.  He gave me my x rays and said check with the er, if I am not getting any better.

Long, busy, tiring day and I'm ready to hit the hay!  I wish you all pleasant dreams, restful sleep and a happy tomrrow ans may God bless us, every one.

I just realized that today is our PHYLLIS’S Birthday. 


Best wishes for many, many more!  I hope you enjoyed a wonderful day.

Jenny

Denver the older i get the dumber i get. I sometimes think I have something
figured out then a defferant light comes on. or i thought i was right until i thought about it. i was seeing you were last one posting today 12:?? something.
It is 3:16 A M you must be in bed now. I was having a bad night so just got up.
I usually a good time to talk to Peter in suffix England but he isn't on now either.
so sweet dreams may catch you later today.

Lloyd

Good morning everyone...

Raining out now so no hanging laundry out this morning. Thank you Larry and Gloria for the birthday wishes for hubby...he also had phone calls from the kids and a visit from his sister.

I brought the neighbours dog over for a while and will do that again today...if I thought he would be content to stay overnight I would try that.

Gloria de
Sorry to read about your fall,hope you're not too sore today from it.

Phyliss, have a Happy Birthday ...

Jane, yesterday I worked a lot at nothing, did a bit of sewing but the rest of the day was just putzing about.

Better go let the neighbours dog out.
Enjoy your day everyone..

Good Morning Everyone!

Amy isn't it funny, we never get caught up with just putzing or doing nothing.

June, I too have thought a lot about Jesus statement on Salty.  I think he is talking about life be the salt and as we all know you can get pretty fed up with life at times.  That is where the second part comes in.  When we become fed up with life, unsalty, then we must become "salty" again.  That is, immerse ourselves in the activities of life.  And when we have someone who is "fed up" or "unsalty" then we must try and help them to become "salty' again.  And the key to all this: accepting and giving the help peaceably or with good humor.  No dramatics or anger.  I think Jesus wants us to have a good full life "salty".  Not go around down cast and out of sorts.

Re-reading what I just wrote I don't think I did a very good job of explaining myself.  I mean life is salt, being fedup or giving up on life is unsalt.  Jesus was trying to tell us that when we reach or meet someone has lost their flavor for life we need to try and help with good humor, love and compassion.  And accept help from others in the same vein. 

Well that certainly cleared that up, didn't ti.....

Everyone have a great day.

Good morning everyone, still dark out and I am awake early for a change.

LARRY  sorry about your SIL and the accident. Glad she is alright. I have been using GoogleChome as my browser but suddenly I just have Google and all the bookmarks I had are gone. Now to figure out how to get things set the way I had it. Gmail did not change and still have my contacts there.

GLORIA de  same thing happened in this town. People from the city moved here and built near farms, dairy and egg farms and then complained about the smell. They also wanted all they had in the cities so got into local politics to change every thing. Sad. Hope you are not hurting too much from your fall yesterday.

JENNY  I think I have finally learned how to get that belt on. So much Velcro that keeps sticking where it is not supposed to. It does seem to be helping and relieves some of the back pain the rest of the day. Looks like your son is learning of some of the great New England traditions. Going to an orchard at harvest time is one I do miss now. My son has gone to an orchard in Conn. to pick apples this year and he brought me some that I have enjoyed.

CALLIE  looks like you  had a busy day yesterday. Your errands were enough to make one worn out without your son and the other person getting there earlier than planned. Wish I could walk on a sandy beach again. I can say I have been into the Atlantic often and even got my feet wet in the Pacific when visiting my daughter.

JUNE  I have my cellphone number written down in several places but think I finally remember the number now.

JENNY  at one time I had a list of the birthdays of those in our group, back when I made the cards but I no longer remember anyone's special days. It had been a long time since Phyllis posted and  miss her and pray she is OK.

LLOYD  I woke very early for me this morning so hope I can get some Zzzz's this afternoon.

AMY no rain here but might have some on Monday, a holiday with parades and things going on so hope it does not rain then.

Well, I'm certainly glad to see all of you!  The first time I came here this morning, it told me the site was "not available" and to try again later.  The funny thing was, I had just been looking at it on my phone while I waited for the doggies on the porch.  I had that "UH-OH" feeling!

I've done a few things while I waited and I have the dishwasher running and the laundry sorted.  I'm still not dressed but that's next on my agenda.  I have to mzke a quick trip to WM and then I have to go over to Cathy's and let her doggies out and make sure the younger one does his thing.  She sayss the old guy can hold it and he will but the younger one isn't so fastidious. 

When I come back, I'm going to make the apple crisp stuff.  I keep putting that off and I think it's time now to get going.  I wish you all a great day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PHYLLIS!  COME ON BACK AND SEE US!
