DEAR JENNY, this was NOT the news we were all praying for and I've already said a prayer for Michele and her extended family.  Please know that we all care and we will continue to keep all of you in our prayers!

I'm off to bed and after my poor sleep last night, I'm hoping for a good night tonight.  I have a bunch of things I want to do tomorrow and I want to get up feeling like doing them.  I wish you all a peaceful sleep and a happy tomorrow!  And may God bless us, every one!

I coming in to say good night and pleasant dreams to all.

I will turn off the lights, but before I do, I think that we need to have a little night light on just incase someone stumbles in over night.....so I will plug it in.

Click.....off go the lights.

Amy and Jane, I got your Personal Messages and it made me so pleased to know that you were thinking of me.  I have had a long tough time with the Meniere's Disease .  I had to tell the therapist not to come because I couldn't stand up.  The vertigo was pretty bad and keeps coming back.  Yesterday was better and today is starting out OK.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it stays that way.

My email address is in my S&F Member Profile but I'm not certain if anyone but me can see it.  Just in case you want to put it in your Address Book it is (removed).  My full name is Phyllis Irene Lewis.  My family, close friends, and neighbors call me Irene.  Everyone else (business, legal, etc.) call me Phyllis.  David is my older son but his legal name is Tommie David Lewis and he does live with me.  Tom Lewis was my husband and his name was Tommie Joe Lewis.  He was a member of S&F but rarely posted anything here.  Our names are confusing to people but you can blame my parents for always calling me by my middle name.  You can blame me, however, for always calling my sons by their middles names.  :idiot2: 

I hope I can come back regularly from now on but I will just have to wait and see.  I haven't done any cooking...David is keeping us fed....so I don't have much to say about what I'm doing.  I've mostly been sleeping....a lot! 

Jenny, I'm so sorry that the news about Michelle wasn't as good as we all had hoped.  She, and all of her family are in my prayers.

Gloria, a CT is a piece of cake.  You aren't as shut in as much as you are with an MRI.  And no loud noises.  It only takes about 15 min. or so.  Make sure they give you a pillow under your knees so your back won't be stressed too much.

Good morning everyone.
Labeling and putting away the jars of pickles this morning then working around home.
Jenny, thanks for leaving the night light on Prayers for Michele and hugs to you. Not easy for anyone especially those watching.

Need to get a quilt block in the mail, a lady's husband passed and the group I am in are making blocks to be sent to be put into a quilt for her.

Enjoy your day everyone

well good morning everyone. 71º at 6:17 A M and clear calling for 90º here today. am going to try to get the R V taken in for service on both engines, the pusher and the generator engine. Hoping that Nancy get's to feeling better. She is waking up every day with a stuffed up head. no fun traveling with a stuffed up head. I will check in a gain later on today and see how everyone is doing.

 Amy top of the day to you. you slipped in while I was typing takes a while for me to post typing with one or two fingers on each hand and doing the spell check at the same time. I never payed enough attention in English class. so takes a while to get it readable.

Lloyd, good morning to you and Nancy. Just heading out the door. Enjoy your day.

Good morning everyone, had frost on the cars overnight. When I pulled up the shade I looked out and was surprised to see all the tops of the cars white. The weather  report had said it might go into the 30's in places here and it did get here.  Got a call yesterday from the xray place asking about the blood work. Well my doc had given me the blood work paper 3 months ago and they did get the results of that but not the blood work they need so the CT scan is postponed till I go for another visit to the vampire. Son will take me tomorrow and then I call for a new appointment. Hope next Tuesday. Seems like too much of the left hand not knowing what the right one is doing. Seems like everyone can change things and want other s to do as they say. If I still had a car and drove it would not be a problem.

JANE  now I know what kind of sauce you were talking about. I always have some cans of the Hunts sauce in the closet.

AMY  when I called the xray place yesterday I did ask how long and she said 30 minutes. Still better than an MRI.

JENNY  so sad about Michele. That monster sure has a hold on her and does not want to let go. Her attitude is good and that helps her fight. With her wonderful family she has good reason to fight. I will keep her in my prayers.

SHIRLEY  I like the one with Doris Day better but I do remember listening to Kitty Kallen.

PHYLLIS  so good to see you. Not being able o stand up is hard when you have been on the run for years doing everything. I will remember t o ask for that pillow because laying on my back on a hard table is a killer. I pray you will st art feeling better soon. No fun getting to be our ages is it?

LLOYD  good morning.

Have a good day.

OH MY!  I breathed a "Thank you" prayer when I saw Phyllis's post!  I've been so worried and now I have put your information in my little red book with the rest of the S&F people whose info I have.  Thanks for sharing it with us. 

SHIRLEY, that picture of your family in the airport with the little one riding the suitcase is in the margin right now and I know I forgot to tell you that when I saw it the first time it brought back a memory to me.  When my grandson, Daniel was about that age, they lived in Montreal and on occasion they flew down to visit.  I picked them up at the Harrisburg airport and they would come out with Christy pushing one of those little airport carts with her suitcase and other items on it and Daniel perched on top of everything.  I thought that was pretty smart of her.  I bet if her suitcase had wheels, she'd have thought of using it like your son did.  They are resourceful, aren't they?

I did sleep better last night but I got up with a pain in my side that went from my underarm to my waist and around my back.  I put stuff on it and took two Aleve while we waited for the boinger and it feels somewhat better now.  I must have slept "funny" or something!

I better get out of my jammies and get busy.  I have things to do today.  I haven't organized myself but then I hardly ever do.  I just do stuff!  Enjoy your day, Everyfriend!

Good Morning, Friends!  So happy to see your post Phyllis, and hope you keep on feeling better.

Lloyd, sorry Nancy is having the stuffed up head... hay fever/allergies are are terrible this year....everywhere in KS & MO and mine didn't get better in CO and that was spring!  My daughter is sniffing and rubbing her eyes in MO and never had a problem before in all her nearly 64 years. These RVs sure need a lot of attention, don't they? 

Pretty graphic, Amy, did you create that yourself?  Thoughtful of your group to make the quilt blocks for the lady that lost her husband. Something like that will give her comfort and warm thoughts as long as she lives. I still have not given in to buying an IP..... but am off this morning to buy several eye of round roasts to cook & grind for my gang. My daughter has found a mayo that works better for her system (Crohn's) so I just give her the packs of frozen ground beef. My boys & the grands all like chopped onions & celery (along with the hard boiled eggs & pickle relish)... one grand prefers the mayo made with olive oil but most of us prefer Miracle Whip. Anyway, hopefully the one Sam's will still have them this week. The one I've been shopping at quit carrying them... can't imagine why.

Hey, Jenn, thanks for thinking of the night lights! I have 2 in my hall from bedroom to kitchen & faithfully turn them on every night. You'd think after more than 30 years in this house my body could navigate in the dark, but not so. The hall  has a "bend" in it when passing the front doors, even the guys that moved our furniture in kept running into walls, they were unloading the truck after dark.

Tom and Callie have had their breakfast, Tiger not home yet (or sleeping late). She came for breakfast yesterday morning, sniffed & wanted back outside. Didn't see her all day until their supper time. Not sure what is going on with her. I am hungry so will fix me an egg with bacon crumbles, white and oatnut breads, have a busy morning lined up. Besides the meat & bread for the fish, I am out of milk so can't cook my oatmeal without that!  Still wishing for cooler weather but not yet! The roofer said they will deliver shingles next Tuesday & if Mother Nature co-operates, will get the roof on before the end of Sept! Been a long time getting everything taken care of and absolutely no excuse except that one lady with the insurance was being a pain... and after all said & done, she's the one to eat crow.

Expect Gloria will be in when I go to post... you've been getting up early lately, Gloria. You haven't mentioned if you got that cream & if it helped at all. Do wish you lived nearer, I'd get you fattened up. I am feeling the effects of eating 4 boxes of Russell Stover turtles... some slacks that were comfy a few months ago are not wanting to meet in the middle comfortable right now. I asked my friend if she thought it might be because of the heat & humidity. Got a horse laugh for that. She hates that all the years we've known each other (40+) I've gotten away with eating everything in sight & don't gain, she just watches me & gains. Pay back time.  :tissue:

So Jane is sleeping in? Not true... those pups would not let her get away with that.  Will try to post & see who snuck in while I have been typing.

My son stopped by yesterday afternoon & tested this HP for why it won't connect to the wi-fi. The wi-fi is totally missing, he said "it happens"... and had a little dongle thing he plugged into a port & connected it again. It passed warranty (naturally) but he was going to see if others have had this model fail. I thought I must have bumped a key or something, but what do I know??? The other 2 old computers were still online so problem had to be internal. Both of them have gotten so slow it drives me nuts waiting for anything to move, one has the printer connected & the other still has the old Paint Shop Pro on that I use sparingly anymore. I bought 2 newer versions of PSP over the years but can't get them set up to know how to do anything with them. It helped when there was a group working with it & the lessons (Steps) at the time. I've forgotten anything I ever knew but can still make birthday cards for family. Pretty limited in what I do.

Ah, HA... there's Gloria. Move over, I want to live where the cold weather is! I couldn't remember which version we listened to most. I liked anything Doris Day did.. and the other singer I hear on my "oldies" radio is Diana Shore...I liked the ones we could sing with (even though I have a terrible voice). The screaming of today has me turn off almost all music, how sad is that?

Well, about time you got moving, Jane! Sorry about the side ache... actually happened to me this week but only lasted part of one day. Like you said, must have slept crooked. Now & then it is because I've had too much coffee or chocolate. Hope it goes away fast for you.

Good, Jane glad the pain is gone!  I don't know if I mentioned at the time that the family trip to Disney World (both gr-parents, parents & the 2 little ones) had been put off because son (Andy) had that emergency aortic valve replacement. It was his daughter that managed to get airlines & Disney, etc to allow them all to move their dates to travel 4 months after his surgery. I had pangs when I saw him "toting" that little grandson since he was under a "weight" limit. Nearly a year later & he will face problems the rest of his life because an infection in his body wasn't healed nearly 3 years before. It festered & damaged that valve & destroyed the lymph nodes. BUT, sweet to think another parent or gr-parent figure how to haul a kid around & keep them happy & not be yelling at them, huh?  Aren't memories great?

I'm back from the doctor, got that cyst removed & will go back in a week to get the single stitch out. He is so good. Had lunch & now off to 4 stores. It's HOT out there.

Amy

What a fantastic day, light breeze  kept one cool when working outside or sitting on the verandah having tea :)

Shirley, no I did not create it but really enjoyed it and thought others would also.
 I just printed off a beef barley soup that is done in  18 min after you brown the meat. Works for me!!  Will let you know how it is when I make it. Just be careful and don't hurt the area or rip the stitch out! Hope Andy feels better soon.....and takes it easy also!

Jane, glad you got rid of your "stitch" in your side.

Phyllis, hope that soon goes away for you Dr gave me meds to help with the vertigo but there was no way I would drive at that time. Walking was difficult enough ,so I can sympathize with you. If you can you should remove your email address off the site or you could be inundated with spam.

Played outside with Jessie, now to enjoy the evening.

Amy, I've had my e-mail in here all through the years & it rarely gets any spam.... I also use it for a couple "commercial" places. I have one mailbox with my server, one with Hotmail, g-mail, & 2 with Yahoo. (One for family). The one with family gets the most spam & I think it is because a couple family members & friends will forward mail without deleting all those other addresses... & mine is added to that list when someone gets hacked into. Hotmail & g-mail I hardly ever use because the Yahoo ones are instant. I can be talking to my friend here or brother 2 hundred miles away & while we talk I can send them a photo or message & they've got it that fast. The others don't work that fast.

I'm ready to crash, never did get a nap today so 4 & 1/2 hours is not enough sleep. I did get my bread & the fish flipped & splashed in appreciation. Met a nice couple at Walmart that recently moved here from 20-30 years in Alaska. Their daughter is teaching here so they bought a home to spend part of the year here & plan to go back to Alaska for summers. We didn't exchange names but I hope I run into them again, they seem eager to find out what Wichita is all about.

One more cat meal and I will go to bed. Somebody else can turn out the lights and ON the nightlights!  Can't believe it is another Friday, I know it was just day before yesterday that we talked about it being Friday the 13th!   :idiot2:

JaneS

The doggies are asking to go out one more time so I better do that little chore.

SHIRLEY, I think AMY meant to take Phyllis' email out of her actual post.  They do advise us not to put them in our posts because anyone can come here and read. 

I'll be off to bed when I come back in with the pups.  I had a surprise visit tonight.  MY nephew, (son of my heavenly sister) has recently moved in with his father to assist him and he and his daughter were out walking their dog and stopped by.  They used to live a couple towns away and now they're right down the street.  I'm expecting to see more of them now.

I wish you all a peaceful night and a happy tomorrow.  And may God bless us, every one!

Almost time to head off to bed, so I had best see how your day went, and the; get these lights turned off.

I thank you all so much for your kind and loving comments about Michele.  She did go see the radiation oncologist today and he does want to radiate the tumor on her spine, as well as the spot on the lung.  He wanted her to wait until after the kiddos have their fall break in a couple of weeks, but she wants this done ASAP.  They are on hold until the insurance company gives them the OK. 

I did manage to get my hair cut today, and I feel like a new person.  I always dread getting it done, but then I am so happy after it is done!

Yesterday a nasty Öl Squirrel decided to destroy one of my plush seat cushions on my out door furniture.  I am NOT happy about it, of course, but the damage is done.  Today he came back and tore it up some more. 😩😤

MARY ANN,  I wish you safe travel and do enjoy your visit in Indy.

What a nice surprise to have your nephew drop in to say hello, JANE.  Nice that he is living right down the street from you and you can see him often.

SHIRLEY, glad you had the cyst removed and that it went well.  I do hope it heals well.

PHYLLIS, so happy to see your Post.  I am sorry this darn Meiner's Disease has you so messed up....vertigo is awful and I hope you can feel much better very soon.  You were sure missed as you can well tell!   

AMY, I loved your HAPPY THURSDAY greeting to all.


I must say goodnight.....pleasant dreams to EVERYFRIEND, and off go the lights!

Good morning everyone..
Today I am off to a quilt meeting, first one after the summer break. It will be nice to see the ladies again after being away for a couple of years. I have popped in with quilts or to pick up items but this is a stay for a while. Then my sister and I are going out for lunch  :)

Jenny, I hope this is sooner than later and I can't see why the insurance company dictates on ones health..that is what you pay them for .

Jane, thank you, yes that is what I meant and should have explained it better.

Gloria, please keep that heavy frost there..we have had some that has wilted some plants in the garden but the hardy ones are ok for now.

Phyllis, hope today is a good day for you.

Better get moving ,have to be on the road soon.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I'm up and attem and I didn't sleep "funny" last night...no aches or pains anywhere and  truly feel rested!  That's good because at 9 today I have to have my smile in place and my attitude adjusted to meet my public at Wally World. 

It's cooler nights and foggy mornings in Central PA now.  Down into the high forties and low 50s overnight an up into the high 70s during the day.  I LOVE this season!

I still need to get some tomatoes for my veggie soup and that's on the agenda for next week.  I might make a quick trip to the Farmers Market after the kids leave on Sunday but I'm playing that one by ear.  I think I have everything except the tomatoes and my plan is to make that not this coming week but next week.  My weekend is full.

Almost time for the boinger and the doggies are going to want breakfast when they hear that.  So I'll close and be on with my day.

I wish you all a lovely day!
Make it your own in every way!

Good morning.  So far it is a better morning.  Finger's crossed. Cool morning and last night the temp. actually got down into the 50's!  I slept good.

The therapist will be here this afternoon.  David had to cancel the visit yesterday again because the afternoon was not going well for me.  We'll see if he makes it today.  Also, my younger son and dil will be here sometime late this evening.  They are driving down from Northern Virginia.  I warned them that I had not been able to do any housework for quite awhile and not expect too much.  But, they assured me they were coming to see me and not the house.  It will be good to see them.  It has been a year since they were last here.

Mary Ann, hope you are doing well.  I checked the Duluth cam this morning.  They are having a very foggy morning up there but the fishing fleet still was going out under the bridge.

Thanks, Amy, for reminding me to remove my email address though I get so much spam now I would hardly notice any more.  I'm very careful about what I open and I NEVER click on any links contained in their emails to me.

I am loving the look of Fall that I see outside my window.

Oh my I am stuffed with shrimp!! It was so good, breaded shrimp, popcorn shrimp and coconut shrimp! No supper for me tonight. My sister has a lot of her packing done and there is just a bit more to do ready for her move on the 28th.

Nice to see the ladies at quilting ,helped with a few things ,folded flannel for backings then left to met my sister. On the way home I stopped for the chicken wings that Kyle likes....that and a salad is it for him  plus biscuits from Red Lobster.

Great to see you Roley and Phyllis. Now where is Joy??

A Good Friday night HELLO.


AMY, your day sounded delightful.  Your shrimp lunch with your sister sure sounded yummy.  I hope Kyle enjoyed his chicken wings....oh and the cheddar biscuits you brought for him.

Brian, our youngest son brought us a delicious chicken sandwich for lunch from Shake Shack. We sure did enjoy it.  He brought Oliver Doodle over as he will be staying with us for the next two weeks while Brian and Cathy are in Asia.  He always has something to help Bob with when he is here.  Today he had to help with some issue on the internet to help Bob be able to watch special football games! (Like he needs MORE of them to watch!🙀)

This afternoon we had to go and watch the local high school homecoming parade as our grandson was on one of the floats.  It really was a nice parade and it does the heart good to see young kids looking so happy as they smiled and cheered their way along the route. 

PHYLLIS, I hope your PT went well and that your son and DIL arrived safely for their visit with you.  for you and David.

JANE, I hope you decided to do NOTHING and took the evening off.  You know you deserve a bit of down time after the schedule you keep up!

Nice to see your posts, LLOYD, JOY and ROLEY.

Night, night SHIRLEY.....

You all have a Good Night of Rest, and pleasant dreams to EVERYFRIEND .

Good morning everyone, didn't sleep good last night, I just read the posts but think I will head back to bed and see if I can get another bit of sleep before my son gets here later for his weekly visit. I look forward to it every week. Even after more than 5 years I still miss him coming upstairs every day when he got home from work. I think it was his way to unwind after the work he does. 
If I don't  get back later
Have a good day
