Kelly

Hi Jane
Happy Birthday Wishes

Kelly

Hi Hal
I was up early today, what made you think I was up late

Kelly

Hi Larry
The hail shower we had was on for about 10 minutes, so no damage.

Kelly

June, my imagination worked overtime and I saw the cross and the flowers but better yet, I FELT the blessings.  Thank you

And thank you Kelly and Mary Ann for the good wishes.

Mary Ann, it sound like your final good by to Norm was just perfect.  It was what you all needed and nothing you didn't need.  Thank you for letting us share with you. 

We had a nice little party.  My son, DIL, Kiran, and Cathy (my oldest) were here and the other two girls both called while we were all together.  It's been a great day!

I hope you all have a day just as nice when your birthday rolls around.

MARY ANN - What wonderful memories we all have of Norm! I recall so many times years ago when he posted wonderfully phrased comments, joked with folks, showed his own flair for looking at the World and all the Friends here in a very special way.  And I am sure that his Spirit is showing all that to those other friends who went before him.  RIP Norm and Thanks for the Memories!

Hi Jane
I would have posted earlier, but I was out most of the late afternoon and evening.

Mary  Ann, thank you so much for sharing Norms burial with us. From what I felt of Norm, this is just as he would have wanted it. But darn...he is missed.

Saw my doctor today..I really like her and told her so. She gives me confidence and hope. And why not...heart and lungs are o.k. cholesterol needs attention so we'll have another blood test done..right here in my apt. no fasting because they came in before I had even woke up in the morning. At least that is how it was done last time. No appointment to make, no waiting room, I can't believe  this place. The doctor comes here, no trip to see her, and I will automatically have an appt. for the end of May.

Time to heat up some lunch leftovers and look forward to an early bed time. I plan to come in to say goodnight.."the good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise." 

Happy Birthday Jane!

Mary Ann - I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet Norm in person several times. Your memorial service sounds lovely, nice and simple.  The others have said it all........

My neighbor's sister-in-law in San Antonio was hit by the hailstorm and has a lot of damage to her car and the roof of the house. I hope the bad weather has moved on out.

Good night all.

Thank you Beverly!

And now I'm off to Dreamland!  It's been a great day but I'm weary!  I don't have to work tomorrow and the most difficult thing I plan to do is make some phone calls. 

Good Night Everyfriend and in the words of Tiny Tim...God Bless us Every one!

Beverly "they" are now telliing us to be prepared for Friday afternoon and night, another storm in the making.......I hope they are wrong like last night.  They said tonight on the news that hail was indeed in the storms that struck except they, the storms started weakening just outside of San Antonio.  Thank you Dear Lord.

Big story on the news about there is so much damage from the two storms that have come and gone, especially to cars, that it will take up to three years to clear all the claims, I don't know how that is possible, but that was what they were reporting.

I'm off to bed also, tired, hope I get a good nights sleep.  Nite, nite, God Bless and Sweetdreams.

Janie, have a great restful day tomorrow. You have certainly earned it, just getting back to work this week, plus all the other good stuff you do, a day of rest is essential.

Beverly, Florida and Calif. seem to be fortunate weather wise. You do have hurricanes and fires, and we get our earthquakes and Forest fires..and drought…but not as frequently as some states get battered with bad weather.

Hal, I am praying that those bad storms will just evaporate up in the skies and never reach earth. And I pray that you will have a full nights sleep right straight through till morning.

I have had a good day, and I am very thankful, and now it is time to say goodnight and to all of you, and a thank you to my bed that is calling me to rest. God grant you all peace, love, hugs and more prayers. June

Good evening, EVERYFRIEND. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JANE. Happy to read that you enjoyed a nice day. 

Thank you, MARYANN, for sharing the news of Norm's burial service today.  It sounded perfect and now our dear friend can rest in peace. 

Michele did get to go home about 6:30 tonight.  She is doing quite well although she is very sore with the incisions.  She did not want to take any stronger drugs other than Tylenol, so that is accounting for the pain not being less.  I do not blame her as those drugs they want to give you are awful.  Thank you for all the kind words. 

JOAN, I will be giving a lot of good thoughts and saying prayers for a clean report for you.  Hugs.

JACKIE, I am happy to read you got the info on the end cost on the home repairs.  I did not feel you should be having to pay as much as you are, but happy it is not any more than that. 
JUNE, so nice to read that you do like your doctor.  That is so important.  Glad you enjoyed Gary's service today. 

We have to be up early to head down to Michele tomorrow morning, so will wish you all a good night! 

Jenny

Good morning everyone

Kelly

Good Thursday morning, Everyfriend.  There's  bagels and cream cheese to accompany your coffee or tea. I wish everyone a good day!!

The Lord is My Shepherd
(By Grace E. Easley)

The Lord is my shepherd,
And I am His lamb,
Who loves me in spite
Of the way that I am.
Who sees something in me,
That other folks miss,
And I sometimes think maybe,
Because of this
I've never felt bitter,
Unloved or alone,
Though sometimes I grieve for
My loved ones now gone.
For I've always believed in
The words He has said,
That the spirit lives on,
Though the body be dead.
And I feel closer to Him,
Because of His care,
And I know when I call Him,
That He will be there.
So I fear not the shadows,
So dark and so dim,
For my shepherd will carry me
Safely through them.

good morning everyone.DD you are up earile . Kelly you also but I think time zones are greater for you and I, I have a ? for you, do you fish on shore on your Island, if so what kind  of fish do you catch. I have many irons in the fire so to speak . one of them is to get my pontune boat in the shop and get the gaurd railing fixed up  and made where it is safe. it had a tree fall across it and damage the railing before i traded for it. Nancy and I want to start fishing. you can google Warsaw and Truman Lake and see where we can fish . catch is crappie and bass and catfish.

Lloyd

good Morning Bis I see you got up and did your Posting while I was quizing and greating Kelly DD.
Have a great day

Lloyd

Good morning Joan

Kelly

Good morning Lloyd

Enjoy your day.

Kelly

Good morning everyone.

Looking to be a lovely day, a little on the chilly side but the sun will soon put the 18 ° up!!

Have a few chores to do in the house and then I will go play on the sewing machine.

Joan, thank you for breakfast.

Have a wonderful day..

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I said all I was going to do today was make a couple of phone calls but a sick doggie got me up around 5 a.m. and since I'll be going away soon, I think I'll try to squeeze in a trip to the vet if they have an opening. 

It's cold here this morning.  I haven't checked the temp but I know it's cold.  The sun is trying to peek out so maybe it will warm up later. 

I hope you all have a great day!

Thank you Jenny for the birthday wishes and thanks for the news of Michele.  I know how she feels about the drugs because I opted not to take the ones that knock me off kilter after my surgery.  I just took some Ibuprophen.  I wish her a speedy recovery!

Good morning, Lloyd.   It would be nice if you and Nancy could fish once you get the pontoon boat fixed.

Good morning, Kelly.

Amy--Good morning.  It's to be 90° here today.  I'll send you some "warm" if you wish.

Good morning, Janie.  Hope you can get in to see the vet with your sick doggie.  I'd be glad to send you some of this heat, too.

Hi Joan
I rather your temperature as raining here and 43F or 7C.

Kelly

Hi everyone.  It is a warm but overcast day with a chance of some thunderstorms this afternoon but the forecast is less threatening than it was yesterday.  I did go to COSTCO yesterday morning while Pat went to her crafts meeting at the church.  We did go to the dinner at Church last evening and Scott came out to the house for a couple of hours.  Today is my day to go to coffee after picking up my friend and then will attend the Wisdom group.  That will likely be it for today. 

Jackie, thanks for the info about your yard.  Pat was feeling better yesterday. 

Patricia, it sounds like it could be a very long and dry summer for you with smoke in the air.  Is Fairbanks in any danger of being caught in one of those forest fires?

deAngel, Pat was feeling better yesterday.  It seems to be day by day for her as to whether she feels like doing anything or not. 

MaryTX, it sounds like a safe room would be a great idea. 

Kelly, glad the hail storm you had wasn't a bad one and left no damage. 

June, it sounds like the needs of the residents are very well taken care of including providing for medical needs on sight. It sounds like you got a good report and glad you liked your new doctor. 

Hal, I saw on the news that one Mercedes Dealer had prepared for the storm by moving all of his cars under shelter, which seemed like a very wise thing to do.  I have decided to get the wheeled platforms for my two large planters so I could move them to a more protected area in case of high winds or bad storms.  I can easily take down my hanging baskets from the back and move my beautiful impatient planters from the front porch into my garage.  At  least that is my plan.

Lloyd, you have wonderful fishing locations in your area.  I hope you and Nancy can find the time to do some fishing and relaxing.

I hope all have a good day today.

Good Morning Everyone, 
from the Sunny and warm,  Rocky
Coast of Maine.   

Today is going to be a long day,  as we
are waiting for Fifi to arrive.... 

Other wise it is a beautiful day!
Sandy

Good afternoon.....

Went out for a very short stroll, leg was spasming so it wasn't to be trusted to venture any further, just down the slope towards the site managers office where he has a wooden bench outside so I sat on that before verging uphill to home again....

Weather was cold through the night, woke up again to ground frost, but its dry now and sunny, warm but a tad breezy....

Stopped off to talk to Ivan, spoke to his wife instead.......We spoke about MS, Ivan has MS too....told her I have no MS Nurse as yet, she said she will give Ivans a ring for me, then get back to me as sometimes she visits his home....Of course when we got in, on seeing our post, there was a letter in it from guess who....The MS Nurses team, telling me I shall be hearing from someone soon....

I just lost a lengthy post by scrolling with the wheel?  Then a screen titled "Windows Feedback" popped up.  GRRRR....

Hi Joan

It is Grrrr when that happens!

Kelly

Hi Sandy
Thinking on you and your family on the expected arrival of FiFi
