I'm thinking! I'm thinking!  Not doing much sleeping at night so making up for it during the day. No news from Gloria's daughter OR Rick's son..... and I'm not getting much done around here.

I went to church & breakfast with son, his wife & their 2 grands. Have not seen the kids for quite a while & so grown up. These are the 2 red heads.... with the bluest eyes you ever saw. She is a soccer star & the little guy is just a character. What goes through his mind comes out his mouth (NON-STOP), exactly like his Grandad! Some justice in this life!      Love it.

I'm off to bed, sweet dreams to all and God Bless. I will see if I can catch "Little Rickie" in the morning to see how "our Rick" is doing & report the findings.
 

well late again, Like Shirley, I do too much napping during the day and do not slleping good at night. either My computer Is not working propper or senior and frinds are getting lazey about Posting. Shirley you beat me again. oh well good night and sweet dreams. I seam to do lot of dreaming and not restfull slep at night. I am going to try to do better tonight. Good nigt and sweet dreams.

Shirley & Lloyd....
...sweet dreams to you both....

Shirley, ( big ) Rick has been looking in or someone signing in using his name has been popping in, maybe just to read...

Jackie, not sure which one is checking on US but happy to see one of 'em visiting!  Rick's wife died about the same time my last brother died so we offered each other sympathy and advice and I felt like I found another brother and nephew when Rick went to the hospital and I had a chance to talk to "our" kid. I did tell him we'd be pleased if he'd update us but I didn't know how to help. Bubble had to help get me back in one time (new password & all).

Lloyd, I about slept the clock around yesterday and went right to sleep last night, only got 4 hours & 6 minutes sleep. Woke up to a clap of thunder and that was so welcome I got up to see if radar would show a big patch of rain BUT... all we got was that one clap of thunder, NO rain drops. 

I'm heading to the basement to turn the front sprinklers on and gonna grab a package of French toast out of the freezer. Few years ago I noticed they carried French toast in the freezer section at the store so tried my own. I put about a dozen eggs in my mixture for a loaf of bread so get plenty protein. Been freezing my own ever since.

Looks like the night is hanging on a little later already (wishful thinking?) I've been up for an hour so better get a move on or the day will start without me!

Good morning...
we had the rain plus the thunder! Needed the rain but not the music that goes with it. Babe had her Rescue Remedy and settled down, so far the storms don't bother Jesse.

We had a nice visit with Kyles sister yesterday, she had just made applesauce and brought us a jar still warm.Sent her home with a jar of Jane's rhubarb juice.

Will try and get the blocks finished for the quilt today...will see how it goes.I had a date with Jack the (seam) ripper the other night on the verandah.My sewing machine had a hic cup and now all is well....but I am behind.

Beets can also be canned but they say it is to rain all day..always another day to gather.

Jane should be home now  bet the drive was tiring.

Better get ready for the day.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Shirley...
...yes, Rick looks out for us...as we now look out for him...

Great news from Richie (I think that's what Dad-Rick calls the kid)... he called to let us know that "Dad is doing much better". He said he tried to get on but couldn't so we'll settle for the good news any way we can get it, right? Don't know when he gets sprung to go home but we do want him safe.  Thank you, Richie, it is a relief to all of us knowing that you are taking good care of your father!

Shirley...positive news is good..

Good news about Rick!  I've been reading on my phone but couldn't post! 

The good news about the electric pole is that it was up and the electricity was back on and everything electric was working in the house.  However, the phones and the computer and the WIFi were NOT working.  So we had to call the company that supplies all that stuff and then wait for them to show up and fix it.  There was a very nice young fella here today and he took care of all that and I have my phones and my computer back.  I just have to figur out how to get my printer connected.  But Cindy is still here and she can figure that out for me.

We're all going over to Cathy's for supper tonight and I better get ready for that.  I hope you all had a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow.

Jane...
...welcome back...

Just a quick note that my Dad, Rick, is doing well right now. Visited him at the hospital yesterday, and will be visiting again in a coup;e hours. He looked and sounded much better. It appears to be an infection that comes up sporadically (history of cellulitis/infection)...insidious and without much warning. He is on IV antibiotics now and they are running lots of tests...checking for clots and any other ancillary issues. Oddly, Dad went for a preoperative exam Wednesday afternoon, and all was good. Twelve hours later it started. Initially a bout of chills and by the next day...complete lethargy and more chills...and a slight change in voice (rough and angry kind of sound). Not to messed around with. We called EMS immediately. I'll keep you updated and Thank You for all the good thoughts...Richie (Jr.)

Richie ( Junior )
... thank you...I know all about cellulitis as i too suffered with it and was putt on antibiotics and penicillin, something to not mess about with nor ignore as it can be life threatening if it spreads higher up the legs...

Glad he was in the right place at the right time being treated for it...

Jackie ( UK )

So glad you popped in, Richie, I wasn't sure how to spell your name!  That almost sounds like what started my son's problems a couple years ago that HIS doctor neglected to take serious & caused him to have the open heart surgery & a lifetime of having a valve replaced. I can't say anything nice about that doctor so can't say anything. So happy your father was smart enough to know when to go in! 

Good Morning Everyfriend!  What a "ggod" morning it is to get up and see RICHIE'S message first thing!  I'm so glad they know what it is and what to do for your father!  We truly do enjoy his "company" on this forum!  Tell him we are all praying for his rapid recovery!

The guy that was here to fix the phone, etc. yesterday called our attention to the fact that we have bees nesting in the overhang on the shed and trying to spread to the overhang on the house.  So now we're waiting for a return call from an exterminator.  If it isn't one thing, it's another!

When we are both up and attem, Christy and I are heading for the grocery store to fill up the gaps in my fridge and cupboard.  And then later today, she's heading home to Maryland.  Right now, I'm awaiting the arrival of Cooper.  Frankie said she missed having someone around who loves him and she's sure he did too!

JACKIE, thanks for the "welcome" home!  It's good to be back.

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

 JaneS do not extermanate the bees get a bee hive and have them transfured to it, moove it to a ruual spot or out in your back yard and feed them they will make you some woundrful  honey. I had honey bees but that juerk that used to be a friend stole the Last hive i Had,  our grand deaughter and son in Law and her futher better half are rasing bees also our son in law is rasing bees. I am going to make some more hives and buy some more swarms of bees. If you do not bee afraide of them and let them know and treet them with love they will keep you in honey. put a top box on with a feeder jar in it in warm weather, in cold weather put candy mix in there for them.It is cloudy here and 71º now but the sun is trying to come out,is doing a prety good job of it. Have a great day and a better tomorow.

Lloyd

Take care, be well soon Rammel!

LLOYD, they aren't honey bees in the shed.  We think they are hornets of something similar.  I don't want to get too close because I don't know what my reaction to a sting would be.  There's someone coming this week to check them out!

Christy is about half way home right now and Frankie just now picked up Cooper for the night.  He'll be back again in the morning.  Cindy and her friend have arrived safely at Niagara Falls and are enjoying the trip but they are enjoying even more just being together with no one else around.  They've been friends since before they went to school because we lived only a couple houses away from one another. 

I'm going to get some supper, turn on the TV and relax and I bet there's a nap coming on sometime this evening!  I hope you are all enjoying your day!

Wishing all a good night, sweet dreams & God Bless. (Goes for you, too, or you 2, Rick & Richie Jr.) 

Hope the travelers are all safe and snug in their beds.

All my travelers are safe and sound for the night and I'm going to hit the hay.  I slept through the last half of Mannix and the first half of Perry Mason and I feel like I'm home again! 

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep, good health, and a good day tomorrow!

JaneS well I am late getting in here again. ok  JaneS If they are paper wasp or hornets, get some long very large oose pants  tie them down on your shoe tops ( high top)ware looe fitting gloves and dot ha same  with your arms ware a long loose sleeve shirt and some leather woork gloves (large) and tie them around the cuffes or taype them around the wrist's.get a full brim hag and drape netting over it.and tape it down on the sholders. get a spray can of real kill and spray  them and stap on them as they hit the folwer, thw can not sting thorugh your  shoe soels. or better yet stand out of where they are landing they wi. pass on soon where ever they go when they die. welll I got new breathing machine and mask's and hoewes's I am going to go aseembale it put it on and go to bed  wish you all sweet dreamd and a great day tomor hope to see you all back here tomorow.

Good Morning all.Just a quick update on my Dad...Rick or Rammel. Saw him a few hours ago, and he looks and sounds good.Good news in that they are being thorough, and not rushing him for release. I was pleased to hear that our Primary Care doctor had conversation with the Infectious Disease doctor that calls on my father. They seem "invested" in his care, and diagnosing his case properly. There is a possibility he will be released later today. We'll see. Home watching Columbo and sipping a coffee. Thanks everyone for all the nice thoughts. Best Always, Richie (Rammel Jr.)

Richie...
...we await his return..
...Ah yes, Columbo, great actor, great programme..

Jackie..( UK )

Good Morning Everyfriend!  this will be a quick post because Cooper is on the way here.

RICHIE!  Thank you so much for the good news about your father!  It's always nice to get up in the morning and have good news waiting!  And hearing it about your Dad is special!  We all await his return!  He is MISSED!

Nearly 1000 rockets were fired from Gaza to Israel this past week. Very sad casualty:  One rocket hit a tree with a flock of herons asleep, killing dozens. Three were found wounded but still  breathing and have been taken to rehabilitation.

I am relieved: the sirens are silent again.

good Morning everyone,the weather guesser is all wet again this morning,It is saying mostly cloudy, but there is not a cloud in sight here. I hpe you all done better than I did last night. I went to bed late with a new Mask on and it dss not fit well. I think they sent me the wrong Maskes. I do have some good times, but not many good ones like I used to. life is not much fun any more. I had the battery chargers on the batterys in the rv and son in law mowed the yard and did not pay enough attion and mowed it up in little peices. so about another $100 for a nother one. It is a speical four wire one for 220 for the RV. the weather guesser chainged hie/her mind while I was typeing. now says clea. and the sun is peeikeing out. Have a good day. how can I make the fonts show larger?

Bubble, I am so sorry! I have no answers. Man's inhumanity to man in the name of religion or politics is dooming us and the planet.

BUBBLE, How terrible that must be!  I simply cannot imagine it!  Like PATRICIA, I just don't know what to say!  You and your country are in my prayers!

Bubble, I do recall being in a hotspot (so we thought) during WWII, 20 miles from a SAC Base & rings of the missile silos. We did have drills & warnings but not what you are facing every day. The world today seems to be drained of love, so sad.

I'm off to sleep, hope to, anyway. Hoped to see that Rick had been released but think his doctors are giving him a good going over.

Sweet dreamd and God Bless all.

Bubble...
...hope they are proud of themselves killing a flock of " innocent " and sleeping herons...i certainly am not.. what pathetic cowards, whether intentional or not..
