A tough old cowboy once counseled his grandson that if he wanted to live a long life, the secret was to sprinkle a little gunpowder on his oatmeal every morning.

The grandson did this religiously and he lived to the age of 93. 

When he died, he left 14 children, 28 grandchildren, 35 great grandchildren and a fifteen foot hole in the wall of the crematorium.

Hi everyone.  It is another overcast morning.  It is cooler this morning and only suppose to get up to 82, which will be a pleasant change.  We do have an 80% chance of rain today.  Pat and I will go to Sunday School and Church this morning, get something to eat before we come home and then have a restful rest of the day.

Carol, all those little pieces of your quilt will one day become a beautiful finished quilt. 

Jenny, when our children took piano the price was considerable higher than what my mother paid and it was for a 30 minute lesson and not an hour lesson. 

Callie, I sure wish we had a siren system in our town although know we live too far out on the edge that we wouldn't hear it.  Fortunately, we have other ways of being alerted of bad weather.  We sure didn't have hot water heaters when we grew up and managed very well.  I remember carrying buckets of hot and cold water for my mother to the old washing machine in the smoke house, which wasn't used as a smoke house anymore.  Hope you have a lot of people tour your yard and your description of what you have planted sounds very nice. 

Joan, a 2 bedroom will certainly give you more room as see they are a couple of hundred or more square feet. Did your house experience water damage while you were away?  Sorry to be so nosy but just curious.

June, thumbing your nose at high blood pressure really isn't a good thing but hope you enjoyed your day at home. 

JaneS, glad you found some more zzz's in your sofa.  It is interesting how sometimes we wake up from a nap feeling rested and other times still feel weary.  I wonder why that is that way?

Amy, what holiday are you observing in Canada this weekend?  I know Don said his radio show will not be broadcast as the station is shut down for the holiday.  Is today the last VON visit you will need.

Jeanne, that was a funny one this morning.  That ice cream sundae sure looks good.  Glad your electrical problem has been fixed and you are back in business.

CallieOK

Good Morning,

Another sunny day in central Oklahoma.   

The yard tour went well and it was fun to visit with neighbors I don't see very often because I don't go for walks any more.   

JeanneP,  glad your problems are fixed.  Thank you for opening a new Soda Shoppe for the week.

If I'm going to get to church,  I need to "hustle my bustle".   

Wishing Everyfriend Everywhere an Enjoyable Day.

Good Morning       rushing......marking a spot


JaneS

Well, I've been to church and I'm home and wondering what to get into.  I think I'll just mark my place for now and wait to see what all of you get into today. 

I'm thinking I'll make some breakfasts for the freezer.  It's getting a little hungry.

I received a package from Amazon some time since last night when I locked the door and this morning when I unlocked it at 7:40 to go to church.  Do they deliver in the middle of the night or at the break of dawn?  The doggies are happy and busy.  They each got a new Big Mean Kitty!  I wonder how long it will take them to relieve them of their stuffings?

Enjoy your day Everyfriend!

God morning Jeanne Lee and thanks so much for opening a new week, the graphic and the chuckle.  Glad your outlet is fixed.

Larry--Good morning.  Yes, there was BIG damage when the pipes burst. Plumbers cost $7,000 and painters $8,000.  Thank goodness for insurance.

Good morning, Callie.  Hopefully you "hustled your bustle" and got to church on time.

halkel--Good morning.

Tom and I went OTB for a change but Dot didn't feel up to going.  She isn't ill, just wasn't awake enough.  We went to the Cholesterol Pit.  I thought I'd see people from church, but did not. 

We will have more rain, but i don't think we'll have more storm.  Our rain might go toward Amy's location.

Today I will start packing for my trip to Indps Tuesday.

Mary Ann

JoanFL

Good morning Mary Ann.  I wish you a nice trip to Indianapolis.

Good morning everyone, another bad night. Finally fell asleep around 5 this morning.

HAL  I hope that was a drop of rain you felt.

LARRY  when I lived at my son's house I would see kids going to and from the school bus but never saw them out playing. The humidity in summer is what gets to me.

CAROL  where my daughter now lives in Arizona was a big cattle ranch, split up into 40 acre lots. More than 150 of them. At the old ranch part they still have some cattle and they do wander around and they see them often.

JUNE  I think today is another zombie day for me.

JANE  I tried for a nap yesterday afternoon but it didn't happen, just laid there like a bump on a log.

AMY  I think I need a new mattress. I always liked a firm one but maybe a softer one would be kinder to my back.

JOAN  it is YOU we want to see every morning.

JEANNE LEE  thank you for helping Joan. You sure picked a yummy graphic by Phyllis. Good joke. Glad your home is back to normal again.

Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning all. Had a great nights sleep. Woke by myself at 6 a.m. B.P. this morning was 167 which is not really "high" for me.later yesterday it was down to 137. I don't keep track of the lower #'s unless they are unusually high.

Gloria, I just lost yesterday and it seems to have worked. I feel much better today and will go down for Chapel services.

Jeanne Lee, SO GOOD to see your posting this morning. I am happy you are up and running again. Are all the outlets healed along with the number one ?

Bis, I don't recall we knew anything about pipes bursting in your home. Did this happen when you were hospitalized ? How was it discovered ?

I have to scoot and get dressed for Church. See you later.
As long as we are here, let's dance.

Sandy

good morning from the warm and breezy rocky coast of maine.

    i have my box fans set hi in the windows, where the flow is good....   thanks for so many good ideas...
flow is very important to get the best use out of these box fans.

Joan, how are you going to get to alabama?   Will you go by ambulance with help in attendance?    i am sure that you will be relieved when this move is all over.

have a good day  everyone.

Sandy

Gloria--I am sorry you are having so much trouble sleeping.  Maybe some angel dust will help?

June--The pipes burst in the back bathroom.  My across the street neighbor saw water streaming out the front door.  Nobody knows how long it was going on.  It happened when I was in the hospital.

Sandy--We've rented a special van with special equipment for the trip.

Sandy

Joan,
I am so glad that you have found a special van to transport you to your new home.   

The thoughts of this trip must be anxiety provoking for you , but with this van perhaps you can relax and get there safely, with out too much anxiety for you personally.

Best wishes
Sandy

Yummy picture of the ice cream treat!

Joan:  Wishing you a smooth trip when you travel.  It sounds like the children thought of everything to make it as comfortable as possible.

Callie:  You have a youthful outlook on life!

Mary Ann and Sandy:  Fans in the window do work well.  I hope this works for you, Sandy.

Jane S.  We have noticed a couple of Amazon things delivered on Sundays.  I hope everyone gets at least one day off during the week. 

We have been watching so many British shows lately and picked up the term "Chin Wag".  My neighbor and I had a good Chin Wag about an hour ago.  We can always find time to talk about something or nothing at all.   ;)

Joan is throwing angel dust at Gloria - nice. 

Yesterday, two of our boys were here moving a king-sized bed to the basement and bringing the rarely used Queen sized bed with the firmer mattress upstairs to our bedroom.  This will give us a lot more walk-around in that room and I already like the mattress better.  They were surprised when I presented each with a 2 quart bowl of hot fudge sauce that was refrigerated.    Today was spent cutting up a ham and freezing portions - slow cooking the bone and a good portion right now.  We were aching so much from cleaning that we could barely move so missed the 7:30 service. 


Shirley

Jeanne Lee, thanks for taking the reins while Joan is so busy..... helps.... as my mother used to say, "4 hands make the work go faster than 2".   Loved the funny... will be sending on to both sons & SIL..... all 3 will crack up like I did. 

Oh, Joan.... I missed seeing that you had the water problem while you were "tied up".  As if you didn't have enough to take care of!!!  Glad it's taken care of and was sitting here thinking.... haven't ALL your problems started since you moved there?  Maybe you'll leave the jinx behind.   :thumbup: 

Jane, it's possible your Amazon package was left on a neighbor's porch & they found it & put on yours.  We had that happen to us, but the neighbor never used their front door (drive into the garage).  Since we were watching for the delivery & saw the truck stop a couple houses west of ours, I walked over to see if it was ours... it was. 

Sandy, when we had a box fan (may still have the last one that my husband kept), no AC..... I used to freeze big bowls & squares of Tupperware to sit in front of the fan, actually does cool the room.  Even though the bowls didn't leak, condensation left puddles so I kept a cookie sheet under the bowls. 

We had a cool night and morning but that sun is blistering right now.  Not much going on around here, cats decided to come in for the day, they all stayed in last night.  I feel a nap coming on.  Have a great day, everyone!   Shirley

June Drabek

Sandy, I would like to know how you do your typing. With the left hand, and on finger style? I am curious as the time may come when my right hand is sick. at my age, anything like a break is possible, and it would be good for all of us to learn from your experience.

Bis, thanks for explaining the water pipe break. And I thank God your neighbor spotted the water pouring out. One more very good reason you will be moving to a facility where things like that are no longer your responsibility. You will save big bucks by not having a home Bis, believe me, I am one that knows. I lived ( I think) about 10 years at Sunwest Village, and now going on a year and a half at Rowntree Village. (Formerly titled Quaker Gardens.) It is still run by the Quakers…not owned by them, as I understand their faith does not "own". It is a non-profit organization. I am so content Bis and you will be too. We are both Blessed with children that truly love us. God  is so Good !
As long as we are here, let's dance.

SHIRLEY, this wasn't delivered by a neighbor.  If my lights were on any one of them would have knocked and handed it to me.  And this had to have come while the dogs were in the back of the house with me because they didn't bark.  There are only 4 houses on my block and we all know one another WELL.  Most of them are early to bed people.  I've heard that Amazon even delivers on Sunday.  Guess it doesn't really matter.  I was just surprised to open the door and see it there.

Sandy

i THINK THAT HAVING ONLY MY LEFT HAND TO TYPE WITH IS EASIER than having only my right hand would be... 

Now that it has been 3 full weeks since I fell, I am able to use my right fingers a bit more..  so things are getting better..   and no more pain meds really needed...

Three weeks from tomorrow, cast comes off.

Sandy--The trip does cause anxiety.  It takes about 10 hours.

Carol--My children have done a good job in getting things together to be moved.

Shirley--Since I was in ICU when the house problems happened, Linda and Joe too care of the restoration.

June--I know I will e happy to be rid of homeowner responsibilities.''

Janie--I have personally seen Amazon deliver on Sunday.

June Drabek

Sandy, Sandy, YAY ! It will be a celebration for you to have your hand back again.  Wasn't it three breaks in all ?

Bis. Our children have been a real gift of God. We are among the very fortunate.

I have had a quiet day at home. Had a huge serving of Cornish Hen with all the essentials for lunch, so brought half of it home for tonights supper. The German lady that spoke to us at Church was very interesting. She lived there during the Hitler era. Quite sad really.

Bis, the 10 hour trip will be tiring for you, but knowing you will made comfortable, and with family, you can just lay back and think  thankful thoughts. God will surely be your traveling companion.

It has been warm again today, but I am going to shut off the a/c, I get tired of the sound.
As long as we are here, let's dance.

The tip of my ulna and some of the wrist bones were fractured.     Luckily they are healing now...
and hopefully they will continue until like new again.

Good evening, just coming in to mark my place. 82 Friday, and could go down to 40 to night.

JeanneLee, thanks for delightful graphic.

Carol love that chin wag.

Joan, I know you will be happy when you are settled in your new home.  Looks and sounds great.  We all will be making the trip with you mentally.

Gloria, I am sorry you are having a bad time sleeping. I do understand I went to bed at ^AM Thursday.  I guess you are having the same up and down weather we are having here on LI

June, the  low reading is very important
.

Click for Riverhead, NY Forecast

Mary Ann

June, I have heard the lower reading is more important than the upper reading.  You can check with your doctor.

Sandy, when I broke my left wrist, it also was a fracture, not a complete break.  I think I could type because my fingers were free from the mesh cast they put on the wrist.  I did not put any pressure on the wrist.

The cast was of mesh that the nurse wet and when it dried on my wrist, it was solid.  I woke up the first night and the cast was not on my wrist; I found it in the bedding.  I think in three weeks, I had three casts and the last week, the nurse told me I didn't have to have the cast any more.  She went to get some scissors to cut the cast and in the meantime, i just pulled the cast off.  The nurse wondered how i had done that, so I showed her.  I can't believe I was the only patient to do that.

I am now packing for my trip and it is tiring.  Long ago I made out a list of what to take on trips and I am using that as a guide.

We've had a nice day today although there is rain west of us.  The weather forecast is for rain Tuesday but Tom doesn't mind driving in rain and "no sun" is easier on the eyes.

Mary Ann

June Drabek

Mary Ann, please don't wear yourself out before your trip girl ! All will be well for you I'm sure, but you will surely be missed here.
As long as we are here, let's dance.

Mary Ann

June, I will have my computer with me and if I can get online with a different network, I will.  There will be little for me to do the first day and a half, other than compute.  The rehearsal dinner is Thursday evening and the wedding and reception will be Friday evening and about 10 am Saturday, Erin will pick me up to bring me back home - in the car that was formerly mine.

My cars were always Betsy.  Erin has usually named her cars (Norm's Big Blue became Wallace) but I think she has not renamed Betsy.

I was just going to come in to say Good Night but I have to tell you JUNE and JOANIE, you are not the only ones with loving and caring children.  I don't talk much about what mine do but they are always there for me.  I thank God that I don't need them most of the time but if I do, there would be no hesitation on their part.  Cindy even came from Texas to stay with the doggies when I was in the hospital and than's pretty special. 

I'm going to go give Mickie a bath and then wait for her to dry completely before we go to bed.  I want that out of the way before my Mother's Day Gift Cleaning Lady shows up tomorrow so when she cleans the tub it will be CLEAN!  So....

Good night Everyfriend and may God bless us, every one.
