It's Time to Cry
Paul Anka

When somebody leaves you
That's the time to cry
When you know you're lonely
You're not the one and only who will cry

When your heart is broken
That's the time to cry
When you know she's left you
You'll know that she has left you
So you can cry

Happiness is what I long for
Loneliness is why I cry
For you have made my heart a slave
And now it's up to you

When somebody leaves you
That's the time to cry
When you know she's left you
You'll know that she has left you
So you can cry

   
I'm always my own best cheerer;
Myself I satisfy
Till I take a look in the mirror
And see things I to I.
 OGDEN NASH

Bubble, I love your PSP graphics!

Good morning...

I do think our fry days are gone and we are into the cooler weather. Temp is 35° at the moment and they say it will be a cloudy day here.

Laundry day here and baking too.

Bubble ,thank you for the new start page..enjoyed it all!! Good to see your feeling better.

Better get going.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  We're down in the low 50s around here and we're staying there.  That's ok with me for a while.  My two favorite seasons are Spring and Fall.  I wouldn't mind if winter would come, last a couple of weeks and then we'd have Spring.  I don't think that will happen!

Yesterday was a hard day.  Things happened that took time, energy and thought.  I hope today is a better day but I won't really know until Monday!  At least Cooper will be here later today to break things up.  He's a lovey!

I'm not going to get to any stores this weekend.  Cathy is going to be in Philadelphia for a special event.  And since none of you will be able to let the cat out of the bag, I can tell you.  He's popping the big question to his Sweetie.  And they know what the answer will be so they are planning a celebration.  Tori is very special and we are all happy that he's making her part of the family.  (Kyle is my grandson). 

I'm having a "J.E.T." (AMY's name for Jim's Egg Thingy.  I like it!

We also had another new addition to our family.  My one and only nephew became a grandpa yesterday.  It's a BOY.  And they named him JOHN Wright III.  My father was the original John Wright, my nephew is the second one and now and now we have a third one!

I guess I'll try focusing on the good stuff that happened yesterday and put the other stuff in the back of my mind!

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

So that I will find my way back here --- X

Some sad news yesterday, Jean Feller, or Flajean as many knew her for years, died yesterday afternoon. September 30th per her husband. She had been ill and in hospice for a while.

Patricia, thank you for letting everyone know. Condolences to her family.

I found it interesting that my Microsoft email account has twice now put a notification from Microsoft into Junk Mail. Is this what they mean by smart mail?

I'm so sorry to learn about FlaJean.  My prayers and sympathy to her family.

With all the news of the storms that have hit Florida, I've had Jean on my mind constantly.  I'm so sorry to hear of her passing but I'm glad it wasn't due to the hurricane.

AMY, I don't seem to have your email address.  Could you email me something so I can get it?

Jane, on its way to you now.

well I have had a good nap. Nancy went up to visite our oldest deaughter, and get some apples there trees are loaded. they also have some peaches. the have one of those trees that is supposed to severial kinds of , frute but only has appels on It. see you all later.

Lloyd

I am so sorry about  Flajean.
She was long time friend from back in Seniornet days. She had been ill and in hospice for awhile and now she can rest.  But she will be missed.

Finally the rain and wind has stopped and we are fine.  Lots of leaves and some limbs down but our power stayed on and we didn't have any serious damage. Many others can't say the same. Neighbors just behind us didn't get  power back until this afternoon. It was a cold night for them.

Phyllis, good to hear from you!!

I've been thinking of you, PHYLLIS.  I'm so glad you are OK and that you didn't lose your power.  We've had rain most of the day today but it was just a gentle rain with no wind or thunder so I don't think it had anything to do with the storms.

SHIRLEY, I had a bowl of your Taco Soup for supper tonight.  My granddaughter who lives in Westchester near the college, texted me that she'd had my chicken corn soup for supper and when I told her what I'd had, she said that might be one to try.  I told her the next time she comes up here, I'll have a jar for her to take home with her.  So your soup is getting around!

I'm getting ready to hit the hay early.  Cooper is staying with me and I'll have to tend to him before I get ready for church in the morning. 

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

I am so sorry to hear about FlaJean, I knew she told us but I didn't want to believe her time was so short. Thanks for letting us know, Patricia.

Glad you came thru without any major damage, Phyllis, thanks for letting us know. I used to tell my kids to "let me know when you are okay so I don't waste my worrying"!

That taco soup sure fills all the diet needs for the day, doesn't it, Jane? Of all the soups I put in the freezer that's the one I enjoy most and don't think I have a single "tub" of it left in the freezer.

I am beyond tired tonight so going to bed right now. Sweet dreams & God Bless and a BIG thank you, Bubble for the great graphics & text.... "until we meet again............"

good morning

Good chilly morning..

Starting out at 32° and windy this morning.Nice sunny day but a coat wearing one.

A day of rest here, will finish cutting out a quilt and get it put together....well start on it anyway.

Apple pie and pie shells were made yesterday plus laundry ws done  that dried on the line. Leftover casserole will fit the bill for lunch.Will put the changes I would do next time  in whats for dinner.

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

Good Morning Everyfriend!  It's a bit cold and rainy here this morning.  It's not supposed to get out of the high 50s all day.

LLOYD, Nancy is right.  God won't take us until we finish whatever it was he put us here to do.

I'm off to the showers to get myself ready for church.  I'll have to dig around in the long sleeves to find something warm to wear to church.  I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

P.S. Good Morning AMY.  I copied your recipe and I think I have everything I need to make it!

I've been to read at least half a dozen times today and start thinking about Jean and how many friends we've lost over the years..... or I get a phone call, the cat wants attention, have 2 kids "on the road" that call to visit every few hours. Or I just get side tracked and leave without posting.

Lloyd, these are the years that you have the most FUN by making someone else happy, Nancy, the kids & grands and now our great grands. Show them how to do things we thought fun back when we were their ages. It is surprising how good and happy we feel when we see the joy in their faces. Hey, fix Nancy's breakfast one of these mornings, you are lucky to have her!

Jane, I actually wore a jacket to church this morning & it felt good. Got fairly hot today (80s) but hopefully the "ultra-heat" is gone for the year.

Amy, I just did a search for finding places in MO to buy apples... picked fresh & ripe, not the rock hard ones from the stores. Used to be stores would have specials, bushels picked ripe & brought in with local truckers. Been a few years but I'd sure like to smell a good Golden or Red Delicious!  I'm heading to central Missouri for my class luncheon next week and hope to bring back some fresh fruit & veggies. Not sure why everything is so awful this year, brown & icky lettuce, etc. like what we threw away other years. I just can't bring myself to buy it so am hungry for anything green! Maybe I'll follow Tiger around to chew some of the grass she picks out!

I've been sitting here quite a while so better go feed myself, getting dark out! Sweet dreams to all, God Bless and bring us all back tomorrow.

I did a few things today and lined up some stuff for tomorrow.  It never did get out of the 50s today.  I do think NOW Fall is upon us.  We might still have Indian Summer but that doesn't usually come before the first frost of the season.

I have a ton of pictures taken at the party they had for my newly engaged grandson and his beautiful bride-to-be.  She's a real sweetie.  They are going to be a special couple!

I'm heading for the haystack.  I'm so sleepy my eyes just want to close!  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow.  And may God bless us, every one!

Good Morning everyone, the weather guesser is saying it is 46º and clear. Nancy's left foot and ankel is swolen and she is like a bitteng sow, so i am going to try to stay out of here way, today, Hope you all have a good day. see you Later.

Ps I have taken and sent my vitiaks in to VA by sadalight.

Lloyd

Good morning

Woke to a blanket of frost on the grass!  Not a lothappening here.just chase the dust bunnies,wash floors and finish cutting up a quilt.

Lloyd, today would be a good day to make lunch and or supper for Nancy and let her rest her foot and ankle. Maybe get her to a Dr to see why this is happening.

Better get at the day.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.
