Amy, at 2:20, we still have rain but no new snow. I think the rain and the 40 degrees will help get rid of the left over snow pockets.

Today I was in a shoe store that sells only shoes, nothing else. A young girl with a tattoo and green hair walked over to me and asked, "What brings you in today, I looked at her and said, "I'm interested in buying a refrigerator." She didn't quite know how to respond, had that deer in the headlights look.
I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.
When people see a cat's litter box they always say, "Oh, have you got a cat" I just say, "No, it's for company!"
Employment application blanks always ask who is to be called in case of an emergency. I think you should write, "An ambulance."
The older you get the tougher it is to lose weight because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.
The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
Have you ever noticed: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are XL.
The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he knows when he's really in trouble.
Did you ever notice that when you put the 2 words "The" and "IRS" together it spells "Theirs"
Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me.
I want people to know why I look this way.
I've traveled a long way and a lot of the roads were not paved.
Ah! Being young is beautiful but being old is comfortable.

Good morning..

Looking to be a lovely day. NO snow in sight!

My friend brought me a quilt kit that I am putting together for her so will familiarize myself with the pattern then dive into making it. She has a lot on her plate at the moment and I offered to do it.

Geese are just starting to wake up on the lake as are the song birds. Temp is 26° at the moment and will reach to 60°.

Patricia, love your post!! I guess that is why I told the young man that huge bed was for a Chihuahua, pricless look on his face.Then we both had a good laugh.

Rick ,any after shocks your way. News said to expect them up to 4-5 days!!

Jane, do you get Cooper today? How is your finger you sliced??

Better get a move on.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · April 07, 2024, 07:36:22 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! Yes, AMY, I do have Cooper today. He spent the night with me because his mamma had to be in to work by 6 a.m. today so we had a pretty fun day yesterday and a snuggly night last night. We had our morning walk and we both had breakfast.

Cathy and husband Craig are meeting their son and brand new DIL at Yankee Stadium today to see a game together! I'm glad it's not raining! My son will be dropping me at church a bit later so my next activity is to get ready for that. I'm off and running this morning. But I'll be losing Cooper at 2:30 instead of 3:30 today so that makes the day a bit longer.

Cookies over there on the counter. Help yourself! They are healthy ones! So you can stuff yourselves! They turned out better than I thought they would!

I'm off to the showers! I wish you all a good day! Enjoy it! And stop by to say "HI" to the rest of us!

My son felt one on Friday night, but I didn't. While many have been recorded I have not felt them. I think most are felt in New Jersey.

patricia19 · April 07, 2024, 01:53:12 PM

Amy · April 07, 2024, 06:47:32 PM

Jane!!! Cookie monster is eating your cookies!!!!

RAMMEL · April 07, 2024, 07:52:00 PM

Hope he saves some for the rest of us.

JaneS · April 07, 2024, 09:06:50 PM

I hope you all got your share of cookies before the Cookie Monster got his!

This turned out to be a better day than I expected My son and family picked me up to go out for dinner tonight! It was a great evening! But now I'm just about ready to hit the hay! i wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow! See you then! [/font

Amy · April 08, 2024, 06:56:19 AM

Good morning...

Another lovely day out there, birds are striking up a chorus!

Take garbage away and pay a bill .exciting isn't it! The trip to the dump is as we just might be in time to see a bear, the eagles have left there and I am assuming they are nesting now.

Laundry, cook up the hearts and beef liver for Babe and maybe make a pot of soup.

Jane, your cookies are good , had one before bed with a glass of cold milk.

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

JaneS · April 08, 2024, 07:43:10 AM

Good Morning to AMY and anyone else who looks in today! Glad you liked the cookies AMY. I thought they turned out pretty good, too!

Frankie has the day off today so Cooper will spend it with her and I'll be here by myself...unless the plumber shows face! I think have to do more in the bathroom than un clog! I wonder how much MORE!

I'm ready to take a walk by myself as soon as I finish here. And I'm working on my second cup of coffee, too. I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow. So far the temp is only up to 36 degrees but it's heading for a high of 64 this afternoon! I can live with that!

patricia19 · April 08, 2024, 12:57:35 PM

Good morning, another late night with another sleep in. My meet and greets are turning into my second alarm clock!

We did get a second snow frosting, it looks as if the rest of the month will remain in the forties, with the weatherman saying we won't see any more fifty degrees until the first week of May.

I hope everyone will have a better day than mine!

JaneS · April 08, 2024, 08:56:09 PM

Time to say "Good Night" to the two people who showed up today. Sooooo......Good Night AMY and Patricia! Sleep well and wake refreshed (especially you, PATRICIA! It sounds like you could use a GOOD NIGHT!

RAMMEL · April 08, 2024, 09:10:44 PM

And goodnight to anyone else that comes in.

Amy · April 09, 2024, 07:13:17 AM

Good morning..

A beautiful day in the making here. All necessary chores have been done and soon will take Kyle for his hair cut.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · April 09, 2024, 07:31:34 AM

Good Morning AMY and anyone else who shows! I wish everyone a good day! Cooper and I just got back from our walk and he has had his breakfast! The day begins! I wonder what it will bring! Maybe a trip to Wenger's (The Amish grocery) with Cathy. Depends on her decision!

RAMMEL · April 09, 2024, 08:37:03 AM

Good morning. Supposed to be a warm one today. A taste of what's to come - to keep us "on the hook".

so_P_bubble · April 09, 2024, 09:53:43 AM

The solution to the Math Game is posted in the Games Discussion.

The Winner is Amy. Thanks Patricia and Rammel for a good try.

Amy · April 09, 2024, 09:58:46 AM

Hair cut done, the Dad was there so that made Kyle happy.Dad does better than the son!
Yesterday was interesting...not just the eclipse! I helped the neighbour chase an escaped rooster!! She said the rooster must have heard them say that they were going to be killed.....can't blame the rooster for running.

Now to get my kitchen in order after vacuum sealing hot dogs , I use them to put Babe's pill in. Amazing how smart they are at finding pills in food! Now I give her 4 pieces and one has the pill in it.....so far so good.

Made a pot of beef barley soup yesterday ,lunch is taken care of supper well we will just wing it.

Rick,we are to get into the 70's today. Might go out and rake up the pine needles......notice I said might.

Jane, enjoy your trip to the Amish store!!

Patricia, hope today is a much better day for you!!

A wise choice of words.

phyllis · April 09, 2024, 12:15:14 PM

Cloudy and chilly here. Just when I think spring is here to stay it turns chilly again.

David went out to see our 75% of the eclipse yesterday but I saw more of it live on YouTube. Later I actually made a loaf of bread! Remember during the pandemic there was a bread mix and yeast shortage because all of the people staying home from the office were making bread? Well, yeast is easy to find now but no one is selling bread mix for bread machines anymore. I found a place in San Francisco that shipped a couple of kinds to me and they arrived yesterday. I made a loaf of Country White bread and it is delicious, but I probably won't order again because it is really pricey. Hope I can find some around here that is cheaper. I could make it from scratch but I can't stand for very long so makes it difficult.

Take care, All

Amy · April 09, 2024, 01:14:09 PM

Rick, they were wise words but I didn't listen to me. Such a lovely day out that I started and finally got all the cones and needles raked up. While doing that the neighour with the run away rooster came and gave me a rooster all dressed ready for the freezer plus a doz coloured eggs.

Phyllis, what about mixing the dry ingredients up one day..flour,sugar salt and yeast. Then the following day do the liquid and then add the dry ingredients?? Would that work for you?

patricia19 · April 09, 2024, 01:33:58 PM

Good morning from the Interior at 8:56 and 25 degrees. The snow, what there is of it, is rapidly melting even though it's cooled.

All my dailies are done, and I have the first of three packages due today, one tomorrow and one Thursday. Plus a needed trip downtown sometime this week to turn in and collect some papers.

Jane, we need a local Wengers. All the neighborhood and ethnic groceries disappeared with Covid, and only the grocery mall anchors are left. There is a high-end organic market, but the prices are also high end and an offered membership, not a saver.

In June, the farmer's markets will begin opening, and the local farmers will begin their subscriptions and fresh foods will be welcome.

Phyllis, I tried multiple YouTube eclipse offerings but was frustrated by all the switching to crowd size, news anchors' asides, and expert's opinions, interspersed with fleeting glimpses of the actual eclipse. We are too far north and evidently the light bends in the arctic so we miss much of what's seen further south.

Amy, sounds like another busy day for you and Kyle and that you're feeling more like yourself again. I admit to feeling sorry for the rooster and his abrupt end.

None of my friends farm any longer and none drive anymore either, so transportation is becoming an issue for everyone. I live in the city center, which means all the malls and recreational activities are across the river that bends around the center of town.

There are senior rides available for various appointments and groceries, I need to get that doctor's appointment scheduled and done, so I'm able to use them. The city buses run on the hour 7am to 8pm if you don't need to carry much. Local taxis, are expensive.

I'm still trying to get back into a better sleep pattern. But, it's better.

JaneS · April 09, 2024, 05:23:34 PM

Supper's cooking! I found a ham in the freezer and it's now in the oven. It'll last me for several meals. I think I'll make up a few dinners and freeze them for another time. I also made potato pancakes out of some potatoes that either had to be used or chucked. They got used! And there's broccoli to go with it. It sounds like a good supper to me!

AMY, you got a lot done in the yard! That's something I don't do any more! But I did find a nice guy to do it. He doesn't charge me "an arm and a leg" and when he raised his price $5. he apologized! But it took him 3 years to raise the price! Not bad!

Cooper went home around 4 and he was delighted to see his Mommy when she showed up! He seems to know the time that she's due because he started listening for her car about 10 minutes after her quitting time.

PATRICIA, I like AMY's suggestion of doing part of your dinner one day and finishing it up the next! That sounds like a plan that would work!

AMY, odd to see the Rooster running one day and have him offered for supper the next day! I remember back in the old days, watching my Grandmother wring the chicken's neck and then seeing it on the dinner table. It was kinda hard for this 5 or 6 year old kid to get used to that. I thought the chickens where my friends!

Better go check the ham (I didn't feel the same way about the pigs).

JaneS · April 09, 2024, 09:32:51 PM

GOOD NIGHT EVERYFRIEND! SLEEP WELL! WAKE REFRESHED!!

RAMMEL · April 09, 2024, 11:06:06 PM

Goodnight anyone. Grab a cookie & run

JaneS · April 10, 2024, 06:43:02 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! This will be short because Cooper is on the way! IThe temperature here is already in the 50s and heading for a high of 72 today! Is it SPRING?

I have lots on the schedule for today if Cooper lets me do it. He likes to watch everything except the vacuum cleaner!

I hope you all have a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow! Come share it with us!

Amy · April 10, 2024, 06:58:19 AM

Good morning..
We just got in from our last walkabout last night when the sky opened up with a lightening and thunder show.
Puddles about this morning and while out we heard the loons on the lake! Love it when they are back, listening to their calls echoing across the lakes.

Taking Kyle for a chiropractic appointment this morning...should be interesting.
Need to trim a tree out back after we come home .Branches are in the way of the riding lawnmower.

Jane, your grounds man sounds like a keeper!! We used to kill 75 chickens at a time till we found a place that did it all for you. They got the job!!

Patricia, when the neighbours incubate eggs they end up with too many roosters. I have to admit my pleasurer when out yesterday afternoon I heard roosters crow!

Better get on with my day.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Denver · April 10, 2024, 10:10:32 AM

Good morning. Oh my how the days seem to fly away‼️

Yesterday my dad would have been 100 years old. I sure miss him and oh how I wish he would have made it to this age‼️ I really thought he would as he was so healthy.

So much going on here with most of you. It kind of wears me out just reading about it🤣🤣.

Sunday we drove north to visit our family with the youngest grands, On Saturday when we had planned to go we had a horrible storm pass through with gusts up to 100 MPH. Sunday was beautiful and we sat out in their backyard and the little boys played with water balloons. That is Colorado weather for ya. After our nice visit with them, we drove back home and had dinner with our 3 grands here. It was a wonderful day❣️

We did see the solar eclipse. Had a picnic lunch on our patio and kept an eye on it. We were not in the path of it so only had a bit of darkness. The next time there will be another one in 20 years it will be right over Colorado. Mind you, I do not anticipate being here for it, but one never knows.

Yesterday I saw my surgeon for my 3 month post op. He said everything look great and I no longer haven any restrictions. I took a copy of my MRI I had done last week and he was kind enough to look at it and told me he thought I can get by with a outpatient procedure with only a one inch incision to my lower back. Not happy to have to have ANY more surgeries, however this one at least sounds more doable, and way better than continuing injections.

We had a huge limb in our small backyard split from the heavy snow a few weeks ago. They finally came and chopped it down. It was interesting to watch, but a bit scary as the man was standing on a small branch as he sawed off the big limb.

We are off to the last session of our six week balance class this morning. It has been interesting but I am glad it is over.

I wish EVERYFRIEND a good Wednesday.

JaneS · April 10, 2024, 11:48:12 AM

Hi JENNY, nice to hear from you and I'm glad you're doing so well. You had some nice family visits. I'm going to do that in OKLA beginning the end of this month. But I'm staying a while longer since I have to travel so far to see my great-greands! Keep on keeping on!
