 JaneS well not at this point from this distance. How ever I have a interesting story to tell about t identical twins. before our youngest son Married a twin , but not identical,but before that he dated one of identical twins, and one evening they switched on him. quite a shock when they revealed what they had done. never a dull moment in this family.

Lloyd

JaneS

From the time I was 8 or 9 years old, I started saying that someday I was going to have twins.  That year, for Christmas, I got two dolls dressed by my grandmother in outfits alike except that one was dressed as a girl and one as a boy.  Since then, I've wondered if my grandmother knew something the rest of us didn't.  My twins are....TAH DAH! A boy and a girl!  No trouble telling them apart on the outside but their hearts and minds always operated together.

After Christy was married, she lived in Montreal, Canada and she would call home frequently.  One day she called and we talked for a while and she said, "I just wish someone could come here or I could come home for a visit!"  That afternoon without knowing about the phone call, her twin brother would come racing in the house and calling to me..."Don't count on me for supper.  I'm going up to see Christy!"  And off he'd go.  It was as if he needed to see her as much as she needed to see him.  I always said it was their hearts talking to one another.

Things like this were happening all the time in their lives.  They communicated without ever having to say anything.  I'd always heard this was true of twins but seeing it for myself was a gift in itself.

Jane, it will be interesting to see our twins develop.  They are not identical, but as both parents have red hair, the twins also have red hair.  The babies are both home now, about six weeks after birth.  Johanna came home about a week before Eleanor.

Good Night everyone! it is time for me to wish you all sweet dreams.
Hope to see you all tomorrow.

I too am in to say Goodnight and God Bless you. I had a busier day so bed is calling early. Went to three programs today, and enjoyed all, but body is weary.
Hugs, Love and Prayers all around.

Janie, my Mother was a twin, her twin was a boy.  And when my Granddaughter had her ultra sound and found out she was going to have twin boys she came directly from the doctors office to my house and when I answered the door she was crying and telling me it was all my fault since my Mom was a twin and I didn't have twins and her contention was it had fallen on her (my brood was the skipped generation) and got her.

She had a terrible time with her boys, one born autistic because of oxygen deprivation.
Good thing she had a good employer who gave her off several months because of her health issues while carrying them..


Pat

So happy for the better news of Joan.

Praying for a complete recovery.

Good Morning everyone!
well JaneS good to have you start our day in good shape. It is raining ease now but was very hard while ago 6:43 A M  now. they (the V A) have me on some sort of med for the diabetes , it gives me headaches. Last night I took some Advil before going to bed and slept all night from 9:30 PM until 6:00 AM.

Hall I must have got things going about twins, how are your girl doing with her twins now, fine I hope. Have a great day everyone.

Lloyd

Amy

Good morning everyone..

Great to hear good news on Joan.....

This is not a good day for hubby, one can only hope it gets better. Cleaning today  then picking up meds and out tax papers. Callie, I sure hope we get the good news you did!!

MaryAnn, I didn't peel my pumpkins, just cook and put in the blender and you wouldn't know the peel was there other than it gave it a good colour. If you look at the pumpkin in cans you can also see they don't peel them either.

Jane, high of 50's would be nice right about now.

Good morning Lloyd ..
Enjoy your day everyone..

Amy I have told everyone here I have a juicer. for those that do not like the peals it dose a good job of separating and gives very good juice. another thought is can either put the pulp in good veges soup or in a compost pile for there garden and or flowers. one time or the other i do both. I put the pulp some times in soup and sometimes on the compost pile, but never put the peal
off of oranges through the juicer. i put them in the garbage pail that goes to the compost pile. i have 4 raised beds i mix it in them. have a great day.

Good Morning Everyone!

Well we got some boomers early this morning but didn't last long and I am not sure how much rain we got, not a lot I'm thinking.  I haven't checked the rain gauge this morning.

Lloyd, the twins are doing good, the one with problems is in a program at UTSA that is helping him in his social skills and he seems to be responding well.

Amy hope your hubby gets to feeling better.

Not much on tap here today.  Need to balance checkbook and get a haircut but not sure I want to get into the checkbook.

Hope everyone have a great day

Hi everyone.  It is another clear and beautiful morning and we are once again headed up into the 80's this afternoon.  I am awaiting the delivery of my new recliner in an hour or so.  You can now follow the schedule of the delivery truck and there are pictures of the driver and helper, which I think is a very good idea.  Before I came into my office to eat my breakfast and work on these discussions I decided to get the sausage muffins made and into the oven so Pat will have them for subsequent breakfasts.  She alternates between the sausage muffins and strawberries and loaded scrambled eggs and strawberries.  This evening is our Wednesday night dinner and we are having grilled hamburgers and hot dogs and all the trimmings.  There will not be a Wednesday night dinner next week as it is Master's week and about everything seems to stop around until the golf tournament is over. The rest of today should be pretty laid back and restful.

We did get in to see the doctor yesterday and the news from the MRI was not very good.  Pat has spinal stenosis up and down her spine with some areas worse than others but about all of her spine involved.  He told us that steroid shots are probably the only treatment that might help as there is likely too much involved to try to fix with surgery.  So we will see the pain doctor at the Neurological Clinic as soon as she can get an appointment.  It was too late to get to the Church for the Adult Fellowship and luncheon so we stopped at Cracker Barrel, which was on our way home and had our main meal for the day. 

Sandy, glad you enjoy thrift shopping.  I like to do a little of that myself on occasion but since we stopped collecting paper or hard back books quite a few years ago I seldom find anything that I need or want there.  Do you have a large collection of purses? 

Gloria, I usually get up in the mornings feeling good but it seems to be downhill the rest of the day as my energy goes away.  That is why I try to get things done in the mornings and get appointments in the morning when possible. 

Jeanne, we can never have too many prayers offered on our behalf and need to remember to pray for others and to express our gratitude to God for the blessings he gives us and the trials.

June, I find making my bed to be a very tiring thing to do and it usually leaves me a bit breathless.

Amy, it sounds like you had a very nice and peaceful outing.  I am with you in not liking kale or brussel sprouts.  Pat bought a big bag of kale and fixed it once and we decided to dispose of it.  It even clogged up our food disposal so no more kale in this house.  Pat does like brussel sprouts. I see when your friend offered pumpkins she really met PUMPKINS. 

deAngel, I have never seen a Broadway Show but have many of the musical scores and we had a professional theater company when we did live and had season tickets one year, which I really enjoyed.  They did Les Miserables, which is my favorite show, and a Christmas Canteen Show Musical plus some dramatic plays.  They have nice facilities in Augusta and bring Broadway type shows to it but not likely we will ever attend due to the walking involved and Pat's back discomfort.  So will settle with listening to the music.

Jenny, glad to see positive news regarding Joan but it sounds like she hasn't been able to stay off the ventilator. 

Callie, sometimes the anticipation of having to do our taxes is much worse than the actual experience and outcome. 

Gloria

Good morning everyone, all these damp days are getting to me. About all I want to do is lay down and get comfy. Last weather I heard we might get sun this afternoon. Sure hope so.

JENNY  thank you for the latest about JOAN. I pray for her often.

I read all the posts but will give you all a break by keeping quiet today.

Good Morning Everyone from the cool but soon to get warmer and sunnier rocky coast of Maine..   

Larry,  I am so sorry to hear of Pat's problem  with spinal stenosis ....   I hope that treatment at the pain clinic  will relieve her on going pain.

I unfortunately have many more "purses"  then I need,
but I can't seem to stop buying them...  If I really wanted to,  I could stop going to thrift and Good Will shops,    but that is my  affordable "pleasure" in life,  so I won't stop any time soon...      :idiot2:

well Nancy got in the mood to clean out the pantry and she found some sassafras chunks I cut out of a tree several years ago. I put some of them in a pan of water and boiled them and it still made good tea.what a day.

Lloyd

Mary Ann

The sun is shining, so it’s the start of a nice day.

Amy, I don’t think I’m going to make a pumpkin pie from scratch again, but it’s interesting to know the peel can be included.  I’ll bet the peel would improve the color because my first pie was about the color of lemonade.  For the other two, I added molasses and the pies looked much better.  I really do not do much, if any, cooking or baking now; Tom does it.  I hope your husband feels better soon.

I’ll add to the mention of twins only to say Tom and I hope to go to Holland MI this afternoon to see his new twin granddaughters.  They both are home and neither of us has seen them since they have been home. 

Larry, I have a hard time making my bed too because of my arthritic right shoulder.  I have trouble putting the bedding  under the mattress.  I try to catch Annie when she comes, but sometimes she’s only here for a few minutes to talk to her dad.

Sandy, we don’t quit living or enjoying things just because we grow older.  I have an accumulation of purses too, but I can’t say I collect them.  Just over the years I’d see one I liked and if it was within my price range, I bought it.  When I was working, I got more use from them.  These days, I often take only my billfold and house keys.

Lloyd, I used to have some liquid sassafras for tea.  The tea was good, but I am not much of a tea drinker, so I don't have it any more.

Good Morning Janie and all……I have a ten o'clock program, but time now to come in and see how my cyber family is doing. We have 82 degrees scheduled for today, so I don't plan any thing vigorous. 82 is hot for me.

Amy, yesterday your guy wanted to go riding, and I'm glad he was able to have that day, even if it means resting today. As the song says, "one day at a time, sweet Jesus". I pray tomorrow will be better for him, and for you too.

Hal,how old are the twins now ? Does your Grandaughter live near by ? I pray all will be well.

Larry, I am so very sorry your wife didn't get a better report. I'm going to google Spinal Stenosis to learn more about it. My activities yesterday really wore me out, but at the same time it fed my pride to know I was not un able to join in on things. I too had to rest after bed making this morning..gave myself a whole 30 minutes.

Gloria, how I wish you could join me for a nice warm sunny day at Rowntree Gardens. I know you would welcome the weather and the quiet beauty of this place.  That would be such a delight to actually meet you my friend.  I feel once we get to "the other side", our wishes will come true.
As long as we are here, let's dance.

June, I feel if he wants to go ,we will while we can.

Good afternoon, the sun is shinning.  We had 3 days of rain.  The paper said that this is the coldest March on record and the warmest Feb.

Amy, I am so sorry you husband does not feel well. I guess he will have days like that, but I pray they will be few and far between.

Larry, sorry about Pat has spinal stenosis, I have had it for years. My spine is also a mess the doctor said years ago.  I did go for pain Management for a few years, and the shots did help. I wish we had a Cracker Barrel here, my husband like to eat there when we lived in Charleston. He was from Ala. and they severed a lot of the food he liked. The closet one here in on the Conn.TP. None in NYS.

MaryAnn, I am doing Ancestry, and I found out my g.father was a twin, also his mother died in childbirth  at home, having twins. They did live. My neighbor is upset with Ancestry, as she sent for her DNA in Dec. to day she got a notice, saying she has to do the test again, as they could not get any results??I sent it in, in Jan.


Click for Riverhead, NY Forecast

Mary Ann

Gloria D, there was an announcement on my DNA page that Ancestry had a backlog because of so many tests.  Annie sent hers in the day after Martin Luther Kind day in January and just got it, so hers took two months.  I'm sorry for your friend; I wonder what happened.  Not enough spit?  I'm anxious to talk with Annie to see where we go from here.  I think I'll see if she thinks she will have enough time to work on her genealogy and if she does, I'll give her a gift subscription.  I understand her mother has just recently applied to find her birth parents, or her mother, at least.  Her mother and mother's brother were both adopted.  The brother has met his birth mother and I think that has encouraged her mother to seek information.  Previously she had not wanted to make contact, thinking it disloyal to her parents, but her mother encouraged her brother to find his birth mother.  Annie's mother is divorced from Tom.

I'll be off for my night shift at Wally World at 5 today.  I'm enjoying the evening hours and I don't find them too tiring.  Actually, the lines are shorter and not as many people doing weekly shopping.  They move pretty easily.

I had an appointment with a volunteer at the Area Agency on Aging today about my medigap insurance.  It has gone up again and so has the co-pay.  Insureance is the most frustrating part of my life.  I wish we didn't need it and I wish it was a bit easier to understand.  Maybe I'm just too dumb to absorb it.  The gentleman who was helping me was extremely patient and I do understand some of it.  My daughter who works at the agency sat in on the meeting and asked some good questions that I had not thought of.  I can't make any changes until October so I guess I'm stuck with what I have until then and I have a thinking period to go through.

I wish you all a good evening.  Don't know if I'll be back in but I'll at least try to say "good night".

Good morning..

Need to tidy up and get ready for daughter in loves visit, it has been a while since she has been here for an over night stay. She has her daughter coming in later today to feed the fish and her Mom and Dad popping in tomorrow to feed them again. Tomorrow we are off to a fabric sale and need to be on the road early.

Larry, I do hope Pat finds some relief for her back.

Callie, we also got good news from our tax return :thumbup:

Gloria,I tried a new recipe yesterday, don't think I will do it again as it was so fiddley! You had to make 32 balls of of batter and the same of another only smaller then wrap one around the other.I would rather have an oatmeal or chocolate chip cookie.

Lloyd, I did have a juicer but gave it to my son.

Good Morning Amy...and anyone else who comes by.  It's going to be in the low 50s here today and that's a good sign that Spring is poking around ot there!  I am ready!

I was out day before yesterday cleaning up some of the corners and  it took me forever.  The leaves were wet and heavy.

Today I have to go see if my favorite gal can find my ears.  They seem to have disappeared behind a mass of overgrowth on my head.  I know she's there today because she was the last one to check out through my line last night and I asked her.  That and picking up The Little Hooligan after school are my only planned activities for today.

Make it a good day, Everyfriend.

Amy thanks I do not know what cranberry sauce has to do with juicing but sounds good. I like the 3 apples one or two oranges a small cucumber and two or three table spoons of honey.

one beetroot tops and all ran through the juicer and three granny smith apples and a small cucumber  some honey.

let your mined wander.

Have a great day, it sure can rain easy once it got started.some part of last 5 or 6 days or nights. it is getting soggy enough to mar a snipe.

Good Morning Everyone!

Well up early and getting ready to go to bible study and a breakfast snack with my fellow study group.

Bad day around our area yesterday.  A minibus and a pickup ran headon on US 83 just outside Garner state park and killed 13 people, all on the bus, which was returning from a church retreat located in the hill country.  They were from the 1st Baptist Church in New Braunsfels, just North of San Antonio.  The highway patrol was still trying to sort it all out at 10 last night.

My wife and myself along with oldest daughter and her husband went to the Texas Road House and had some ribs last night in celebration of my wife and I 65 wedding anniversary.  A nice dinner and great company.

Got to get.  Everyone have a great day.
