I saw MY shadow today!  The sun was shining brightly.  Of course, I'm not a boy groundhog. But if I could see my shadow, he must have seen his!

AMY, that tip you gave me about my glasses WORKED!  Thanks!

Now I'm hitting the haystack because I have to be up early for Cooper's arrival!  I'm hoping Frankie won't be too tired when she gets home from work to run me to Davy's.  I need some stuff!

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!

Just a quick Good Morning Everyfriend!  I expecting Frankie to drop off Cooper any time now.  We're having rain this morning but there's a "Winter Weather Warning" in effect for tonight into tomorrow!  Not what I'd like to have in the forecast.

I wish you all a good day... better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Good morning..

Like Lloyd I have snow to deal with...6" of it. When you look out  ,it is a winter wonderland. Trees dressed in snow, page wire fences have pearl braclets on...just beautiful if one doesn't think of the work it makes.

Jane, happy to read that worked for you. Have fun with Cooper and be careful walking. No more trips with bruises as souvenirs.

Patricia, snagged your funny to pass on, thank you.

Gloria, good for you not signing her phone. Maybe,just maybe it might sink in that she does have to work for her money.

Better get my dancing duds on...let the music begin..

Enjoy your day and stay safe!

Gloria,
It's good to blow off some steam once in a while. I read your whole post and agree with most of it. Sounds like some of those CNAs need some re-training.

Have you tried getting milk in smaller containers? Might help keeping the CNA away from it.

Thank you, Bubble, for using one of my old graphics.  Nice to see it again.  And, thanks to those people who hit the "like" button....whomever you are. 

No beautiful snow here today and, if the weather people are right we won't have any either.  It seems that the big storm will miss us and we may only have some rain.  That sounds good to me.  For those of you who have bad weather to put up with....stay safe, don't fall, leave Mother Nature to do away with the snow on the walks and driveways, and stay warm. 

Take care, All.

Good Morning Everyone from the
clear and still dry,  Rocky
Coast of Maine. 

We are anticipating another Blizzard to
come in sometime in the middle of the night
when the rain will turn to ice and snow. 

So, if anything is going to get done out
doors,  now is the time to get to it. 

I am going to sit and watch..
my favorite thing to do. 

All is well here.  We are all still
Covid ready wearing masks and keeping
our distances so we don't get sick. 
I have had all my shots so hopefully if
I get sick it won't be too bad.   
That is good enough for me. 

I am not happy about the news around the
world,  but it is what it is until it
gets worse,  so  I tend to try and ignore
it hoping it will stop and go away. 

Like an Ostrich with my head in the sand!

I am wishing everyone a good day.
So stay warm and stay dry and ignore
that shovel over there  (giggle)  ..

Have a good one EVeryone
Sandy

 

A good Thursday morning HELLO to EVERYFRIEND ☃️

Our storm that came in Tuesday afternoon did a good dumping on the entire metro area.  Downtown Denver got 9+ inches, but the airport that is the official site for measurable precipitation only got 4....... We got a good 7 inches and our snow removal crew did not show up until after 6PM last night.  No big deal as we were not going to go anywhere‼️

Yesterday a close family friend had a double mastectomy.  What a day to have to get out and about, but this procedure has been postponed due to Covid, three different times.  She got home around 12 hours later and was getting settled in🙏  These days they seem to just roll you through and out the door you go.

SHIRLEY, I would be upset about "others" using my hill side to sled on as well.  In the old days we would understand/respect "SPACE" and would never do this😩🤪

PATRICIA, I always enjoy everything you share with us, and I thank you.

GLORIA, I am sorry you have to deal with the subpar CNA'S.  Gurr.  Glad you had a good one yesterday.  Seems the office person is subpar also to talk to you the way she does😩🤬

The sun is mighty bright out there this morning.....it is beautiful🥰

Enjoy your day, EVERYFRIEND‼️  Am I the only one that has to log in every time I come in?  It says I want to be logged in FOREVER🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Good Morning,

I haven't tuned in to find out how much snow we had overnight. Suspect the amount is different depending what area the measurement is taken.

I was reminded of the first line of a poem when I looked out at my back yard.  "The fence posts wear marshmallow hats"...except, in my case it's the solar lights along the edges of the flower beds.

No car tracks on the street so am reading the newspaper on-line...and will probably be a Recliner Radish (again  ) reading e-books and playing various versions of Solitaire.

Hope the day is Enjoyable for Everyfriend.

Well, Callie, I just called my trash service and they ARE running routes so I will wrap up and get my dumpster to the street for early Friday morning pick up! None of the "side streets" get plowed or treated around here so I am surprised/shocked. It is 17° but feels like 3° (warmest for the day) so no snow blowing for me. One thing I forgot to do was take an empty bucket & scoop to bring up sand the gophers pile up on the hill... to spread out on the driveway instead of using salt. I do have salt for emergencies but so bad for concrete and the edge of the yard.

Better go finish my "Lupper" as my neighbor used to call my eating habit that was any time between lunch & supper time. I will snack before going to bed but "ain't no rules around this house!"

Thank you, Jenny, I appreciate the sympathy about the neighbors wearing out my snow.

Jane, every time I come in here & scroll past your comment about seeing your shadow I intend to tell you it made me happy to think someone remembered. It used to be such a big deal, what happened, I didn't see any news about it (of course I don't watch NEWS anymore) at all.

I sent Jack Martin a message the other day & got an answer back.... so good to hear from him. Mimi is still with him and being such a good girl. At our age (including our pets) almost afraid to contact someone that hasn't been around for a while.  So, everyone that remembers Jack & his Goldens wave at him, he does check in now & then, he said.   

Hi Jack!  Give the doggies a pet from me!

SHIRLEY, I live in Pennsylvania and that's where Punxatawney Phil lives so we do hear a lot about seeing his shadow!

We had rain all day today and there were deep puddles of melted snow everywhere! It was foggy and not a nice day all day...in fact, it's still raining and it's supposed to turn to snow by morning.  Can you imagine what will happen to the roads with all that standing water, snow coming down and colder temps?

I'm here to sign off for the day because I plan to hop into my jammies, and then watch some TV if my eyes don't go into slam shut mode!  If they do, I'll just head for the haystack.  My daughtr is coming up from Maryland and I don't know if she's coming after work tomorrow or waiting until Saturday morning.  I guess the weather will decide that!

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

alright I am slow again to night. so good night and sweet dreams everyone. I have taken most of My Pils, all I have left Is My Inslen shot and a couple Of the sleping Pils. hope they do better than they did Last night.

Lloyd

Good morning

No snow to deal with this morning

Lots of catch up jobs to do around home today,they may get done or not.

Callie, you reminded me of when passing a farm that had the huge bales of hay wrapped in plastic we told the grands it was a marshmallow farm!

Shirley ,would id do any good to speak to your neighbours?

Gloria, I read your post, just didn't have time to comment and I agree with you. As I have said before if it wasn't for you, they wouldn't have a job. You sound like an easy person to work for especially when you also help them! Good help is getting harder to find anymore. There are some good ones, you just have to weed the bad ones out.

Jenny, wow ,you got a good snack of snow!! Nice to be able to just look out at it and not have to deal with it.

Enjoy your day and stay safe

Good Morning Everyfriend!  We don't have any snow...yet!  But we sure do have ice!  The temps went below freezing overnight and all that rain we had yesterday is freezing out there.

I'm going to get my second cup of coffee and some breakfast and wait to see what Frankie decides to do!  I'm hoping she calls off work! 

AMY, like you, I have things to do around the house.  I might do them and I might not!  I do have to pay a couple bills and get my finances in order!

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

good Morning everyone. our weather guesser is confused. he/she is saying 13ºF and cloudy, but the sun Is very bright here and not a cloud in sight. we hav not put up a in out themoter here so we can not check on them. guse when we go to town we should buy one so we know what is going on with the weather like we did at the farm.shure hope thetemp wams up. Have a good day.

Lloyd

Good morning to everyone from the Interior at plus three and more snow and ice expected Saturday afternoon as the pluses continue to rise and humidity returns. The only item pressing is to do some returns today and pick up the three items I forgot yesterday.

Good morning everyone, I can see 3 different temperatures 51 on the TV 35 on the PC weather and  43 on local. It was mostly foggy yesterday and it is raining now with the temperature supposed to drop and every thing turn to ice.  Already on local news they are saying to stay home if you can, a lot of accidents already from slippery roads. When I pulled up the shades and looked out I could tell a lot of the big snow piles have shrunk so must have been raining a long time already.   

I don't know what is going on but the posts are going backwards for me. The latest one at the top of the page and the  oldest one at the bottom of the page.  Post #45 by Jane at the top and  #16 at the bottom. I have enough problems so am not going to check anything to see why this happened. Start reading from the bottom up?     

RICK  around here they no longer have milk in 1 quart bottles containers cartons or whatever one calls them these days.  One problem with these places that have CNAs and homemakers is the coordinators are not trained much either and they have a hard time finding the help they need. Some of the ones who apply are in their late 50's and think the work will be easy or they are young and think they will not have to work hard.  I dislike sitting here and watching them do the work I feel is mine. I am not messy and some days  there is not much for them to do so we sit and talk. 

JENNY  That ignorant coordinator must not have been taught when she was trying to at least be polite to the elderly. She was also thrust into the job that she knew nothing about. I do understand they cannot please everyone and most likely never see the ones they send out on jobs.  Most get here  after they have been working 4 hours already and still know they are to go to the bathroom to wash their hands before starting on anything. That is one of the first things they are taught when they are first hired. Yvette and Fran are 2 that I have enjoyed conversations with and both only sit when every thing is done and the only ones who cook for me. Always clean, too.   

AMY  thanks.  As I said I sit and watch them do what is my work and feel guilty  so why not help with what little I can do. 

LLOYD  hope you have no snow to shovel.

Have a good day and stay safe.

Good morning EVERYFRIEND 🦋

Logged in again.....just do not understand WHY I have to do it each and every time I come in😩😡. It says Iam logged in forever🤪🤪

Sunny day here and hoping it will be a bit warmer.  I am getting ready to head out to my endocrinologist appointment. I am hoping for a good A1C as he will take blood today.  I am not down on my weight as much as I would like to be but I feel I am doing this the smart way.....just a steady pound or two down at at time. 

Our hot water heater went out about a month ago and we have been not so patiently waiting for the plumber to come back and finish up the job.  He has put it off many times, but finally made it this morning.....arriving just over one hour late.  He was fitting us in.....or so he said!  We did not care so much that the old tank was sitting here as we did that we have  not had the whole house humidifier running the whole time‼️  It is very dry here and added humidity is a necessity. Now they tell us a solenoid is not working and it has to be replaced before the humidifier will work🤬 How long do we have to wait for this part to be completed 🤷‍♀️

I wish you all a good day 🦋

Jenny

Poof goes a day! Managed to get some laundry done, pies baked, one for us and one for the neighbour and cinnamon rolls.

Rammel ,watched the trains while listening to Phil Coulter.. Enjoyable time spent, thank you.

 

Rick, repost that for Gloria tomorrow. It's her son in-law who is crazy about trains.

Long day today!  Frankie didn't go to work so I didn't get Cooper!  I did get the bills paid and the books in order.  I also have ham cooking in the crock pot so I can make pot pie tomorrow if Christy makes it here.  She didn't come tonight because of the icy roads.

I finished my library book and it was pretty good.  It was a Mitch Albom bestseller about a group of travelers who survived a boat sinking.

I'm heading for the haystack.  Cathy is picking me up around 8:30 for a trip to Davy's and I really NEED stuff from the store before Christy gets here!  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!

Good morning...
We are back into the deep freeze again. Not a lot on the go today other than laundry and the best part is looking after the neighbours cat and dog.  

Will be back later..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Thank you, Bubble.... good thing they did "hit the slopes" last night because the sun pretty well cleaned the hill off today. We needed the moisture so bad but plenty snow left except on the hill. You can't see all the people in the photo, some were down the hill & one guy had just gone off to the left, it really was 2 families and they were having such fun. So little "hootin' & hollerin" these days I am over my mad watching their joy.

There you go, Amy, I turned into a nice little ole lady after all, aren't you proud of me?    Little Red Roadie hasn't been out of their home for 3 days but their mother called to say she put a dozen of their eggs (in a carton  in my mailbox on the porch. I had gone to the store & didn't notice her message for a couple hours, but was cold enough. They are such a nice family & now her parents across the street, even they are a few years younger than I am.

Gloria, other than these posts going backwards, the new computer behaving?  I'm still having the curser pop from one row to another & have to watch for extra letters in a line... On a computer long ago there was a place to adjust the speed of the curser for a person's typing but that was in another world of computers & don't want to confuse my brain, will just cope until it fixes itself.

Jane, I've warned my kids that I will get a dog when the cats are gone & IF I need a trip to the hospital or whatever, I expect one of them to take care of it for me. That was when my dtr-in-law suggested I should think twice about a doberman.... so I will.  They have grands & always lots of people that come & go so must have one good with people. The other son has the Great Dane & daughter does not want or need a pet with all of her travels. Anyway, I like having a fur baby to talk to, they are much sweeter than I am to talk to.

Rick, I enjoyed the link to trains, tried to figure where the one cam is in KC. My friend & I went thru KC every Friday night & back Sunday night when going to school in Omaha one summer. As "railroad brats" riding on MoPac passes, the conductors took care of us like their own so we/they turned seats so we each had our won double seat to sleep on facing each other. We had to go home to eat on week ends because we spent our money on cigarettes & junk food from the store, we walked to school, had been started as a military type training school for teletype, control tower & other classes the government was interested in back then. Goodness, how times have changed! Anyway, I never did place that camera in KC, but KC has changed a lot since 1953. Thanks for the link, I did bookmark to try again. 

 
I've trimmed my hair & had my Sat. shower but have not had supper. Must do that & no clue what to eat tonight. Nothing sounds good. Plenty of food in the house, I even stocked up on soups of all kinds for a night like this.

Better shut up & eat, I could fall asleep again without any trouble. Probably the training we got sleeping off & on was good practice for these years. I stretch out or curl up & less than 5 min can be asleep. 'Night, all.....

Good Night Everyfriend!  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow.  And may God bless us, every one!

I just spent 7.5 hours re-inputting my PSP filters for only one filter folder, Filters Unlimited, so I'm calling it a night before something else goes wrong.
