One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation, and compassion.

For 50 million years our biggest problems were too few calories, too little information. For about 50 years our biggest problem has been too many calories, too much information. We have to adjust, and I believe we will really fast. I also believe it will be wicked ugly while we're adjusting.

Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.

Bubble , thank you for the new start!

Another damp cold day on the way out. Managed to get some work and some play (sewing) done.

Patricia, please don't share the snow!

Rick, Nice, that all the heavy trucks have gone and left you with a new road.

Amy · April 30, 2024, 06:21:26 PM

Hi Callie

RAMMEL · April 30, 2024, 07:04:23 PM

Amy · April 30, 2024, 08:08:26 PM

Goodness Rick, you have a lot of energy this time of night!

Son sent me a photo of Jane and her daughter , both are wearing beautiful smiles.

CallieOK · April 30, 2024, 08:23:13 PM

When does Jane get to Oklahoma?

Amy · May 01, 2024, 07:07:45 AM

Good morning

We may see sun this afternoon....maybe.

Work around home today a bit of cleaning and doing some baking.

Patricia, your snow stopped in Alberta, they received 11 inches! This will be good for their fields and is as good as fertilizer!

Callie,I just asked David to find out and when he gets back to me I will let you know.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Nice to see a quote from Penn Jillette although I only ever read the "back-page" columns he wrote for PC/Computing Magazine back between 1990 and 1994. He also did some columns for the web version of PC/Computing in 1997, but I missed those. A man of many interest and talents.

Amy · May 01, 2024, 09:50:27 AM

CAllie, Miss Jane is in OK at the moment.
Hope she gets her computer hooked up and she can't tell us more...plus photos!!

JaneS · May 01, 2024, 09:54:46 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! I'm safely in Oklahoma and the tornadoes went around Cindy and my granddaughter. However, the rain did a number on Ali's flowers and she's thinking she might not have any to sell this week! We're hoping for it to dry up a bit and that they will raise their heads in time for the weekend. I guress the rain was the outskirts of the tornadoes. Darn!

I read all the posts but my memory isn't great so I'm not going to try to comment on them. I'll be back later. My PA daughter and my Maryland daughter are both here and it's nice to see all three girls visiting with one another. Last night. Ali and her husband and 3 kids joined us for supper and spent some of the evening playing with us. They've all grown so much and I got my hugs all around. Jim said that Mikey announced my arrival as soon as he saw Cindy's car in the driveway. and I didn't have to wait for my hug this time! I even got one from the little guy! He's super friendly! And of course Emma was right there with her hugs! L love these kids and I'm going to enjoy having them around!

Back soo...make your day a good one!

Amy · May 01, 2024, 10:02:13 AM

Great to see you Jane. Glad see hear all is well but sorry to hear about Ali's flowers.

CallieOK · May 01, 2024, 12:02:41 PM

Jane, I was happy to read that you arrived and the horrible storms missed you. Sounds like a wonderful family gathering and I know YOU will enjoy everyone being together. Hope this weather settles down for the rest of your stay.
Doesn't look good for us to get together. but we'll see how the month of May goes.

It was as dark as midnight when I woke up at 8:00 a.m. this morning. Weather gurus were tracking a storm but it apparently missed my area. My "hidey-hole" is a corner of a closet right behind the shower and I've left it arranged "for the duration".

Sun is shining now. So happy that son/I did errands and got plants for my "pot garden" yesterday - and he planted all of the eleven pots!! Now I have color on my patio and in the yard around the bird feeders.

Have some Desk Work to do today and may put something in the Slow Cooker for "later".

Enjoy your day, Everyfriend.

patricia19 · May 01, 2024, 12:55:24 PM

Good morning, 36 and another cloudy day. I've been cleaning and prepping for a few re-arranging in some areas, and will probably dive into more of that today.

Jane, I'm glad you arrived safe and sound and glad you and your family missed those horrible tornados and severe damage.

Callie, those flowers must look lovely.

I'm also glad you missed the tornados, too. Those terrible photos and videos I've seen, especially the one about the two brothers being catapulted into the air end over end. I cannot imagine the destruction and loss.

Amy, the snow missed us and stayed above the 17,000-foot level in the mountains. We barely had enough rain to dampen the pavement. Tomorrow, temperatures are forecasted to begin climbing again, after today's expected high of only 48.

Evidently, the expected snow stopped in Alberta instead of continuing on to us.

I'm glad your son sent you the photo of Jane and her daughter.

May everyone's Mayday be pleasant, and the rest of the week too! I remember in Kindergarten we had ribbons attached to a long pole which we danced around and put on a show for our parents and the rest of the school. Do they still do that, I wonder, for the first of May.

Amy · May 01, 2024, 01:44:30 PM

Patricia, we have reached a high of 60° and the sun said hello!

Finished baking and put some buttertarts in the hidey hole. made pearl tapioca pudding ,that is cooling off now. Do you remember when we could get the large tapioca/sago? Might find hens teeth sooner than a bag of large tapioca.

phyllis · May 01, 2024, 03:12:39 PM

Gosh, all kinds of things going on while I have been concentrating on other things. Glad that Jane arrived safely and that she and all her family are safe from the trip and from the storms. Too bad about her daughter's flowers but they will recover while lost lives will not. Still, it is upsetting to lose so much work and time spent and beauty.

Callie, I'm glad you are OK, as well. Thought about you when I heard about the storms. When Tom and I bought this house almost 40 years ago we were delighted to have a full basement, rare in No. Carolina, and that is the hidey hole. Thank goodness, it hasn't been necessary to run for the "root cellar" (as my son calls it) for a long time. We had a brief shower last night but are in an "unusually" dry spell now and people are beginning to worry about forest fires.

Patricia, we danced around the Maypole, too. We chose a Queen of May and made dandelion necklaces for her and ourselves.

Amy, my three older brothers convinced me that I was eating frog's eyes when Mother made tapioca pudding. Still don't like it after 94 years.

Take care, All.

Amy · May 02, 2024, 07:28:19 AM

Good morning..

Playing catch up again today..

Meeting friend this morning to deliver buttertarts then home.

Phyllis, that was not nice of your brothers but expected from brothers.

Better scoot.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · May 02, 2024, 10:45:41 AM

good Morning I'm having trouble with my computer. but it seems to be working now.

Amy · May 02, 2024, 10:50:29 AM

To the north of us they had a dandy thunderstorm with a heavy downpour, we didn't get a drop of rain here.
Deliveries made and now to get "at it".

Jane, happy to read your computer is behaving now.

JaneS · May 02, 2024, 10:53:07 AM

well I'm going to try this again1 We are having a great visit. The little guy only took a couple of hours to give me my first hug! He's such a sweetie! And it nice to watch my three daughters visit with one another! they talk almost continually! Somehow, I managed to raise a family that loves one another!

We're getting ready to go somewhere later this morning. I don't know where. I just tag along because I like the "togetherness"!

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow! Make it your own in every way!

patricia19 · May 02, 2024, 01:00:07 PM

Good morning, 34 degrees after a chilly night, but we are to begin warming today. Meet and greets, morning chores, everyone fed and coffee's ready, so here I am.

Amy, we were promised more rain and a little snow mixed in but, we have seen none since that first little bit of rain yesterday. Now they're promising rain on Monday.

Alaska saw its first tornado, a landspout, near Wolverine Peak in Chugach State Park on April 19th. It was in a remote, uninhabited area, according to the National Weather service.

I was wrong, this is what the news had to say, "Landspout tornado spotted near Rusty Point on April 19th!
These events, while not rare, go mostly unnoticed due to our topographically diverse area."

I believe this will be a cool summer, judging by its chilly Spring start. According to AccuWeather, we won't see the seventies until late June. It wasn't that long ago that we expected the snow to be gone by Easter and hiding outside eggs for the kids in shorts, thongs, and a tee.

Phyllis, We had a huge Mayday celebration in the school's primary grades, but at home, it was all about cleaning the house from top to bottom, and preparing the summer garden. Everyone worked, parents, kids, animals, back in those days before statehood and few conveniences.

Jane, it's nice to hear about you, your daughters, and the little ones. My sister and my niece live 16,646 miles from me, in Idaho, and my 34 married niece I haven't seen since she was four. And she and her husband have no plans for kids.

Amy · May 02, 2024, 01:20:43 PM

Patricia, while out shortening the dandelions I came across wild strawberry blossoms! I left them with their flowers on.

patricia19 · May 02, 2024, 03:48:59 PM

Now you're just bragging!

We're in a brown/gray landscape and won't see any real differences until closer to Memorial Day.

Amy · May 02, 2024, 04:07:40 PM

Must admit ,it was a surprise to me!!

MarsGal · May 03, 2024, 06:10:05 AM

The Raung supervolcano, which has been ongoing since April 16, is spouting enough gases into the upper atmosphere to cool the earth this year. I haven't seen any predictions on how much cooling the scientists expect. It depends on how much and how long it keeps going. Last I saw, it is still going strong. This is from a couple of days ago. Pretty spectacular. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcLLe9HQTwk
