I'm on my way to bed also but I thought I'd check and see if JUNE had checked in.  SHE DID!  And I'm so glad I stopped by.  JUNE, they are really taking good care of you where you live.  And what a nice surprise to have a visit from your namesake!

And now, Good night Everyfriend!  I'm hoping that tomorrow will be a better day and that I'll feel like going to church.  I've had some short periods of dizziness when I moved or turned too quickly but I really don't want to miss church.  We'll see.  It's in God's hands!

Good evening.....

So good to see your post, JUNE.  I am sorry you have had more problems breathing, causing you to be on oxygen.  Hope you continue to feel better.  Oh so happy to read that you had visitors and got to hold you darling grand baby.  How sweet. 

Sleep well, JANE.  I hope you are feeling better tomorrow morning so you can make it to church.

SHIRLEY, please keep me posted on you Colorado plans.  I really hope to see you. 

JEANNE LEE, what a nice surprise to look out and see your sons camper out your window.  Enjoy your visit.

GLORIA, it is sad that you never have a chance to see and visit with the owners of the building you live in.  I think it is their responsibility to see hands on what the life is at their establishment. 

I have been watching the weather channel also.  They do repeat the info over and over, but I still keep trying to check in to see if there are any changes with Irma.  Tonight they are eludeing that there is a slim chance that Irma will not turn north and could end up n the gulf.  That sure would not be good as she could regain a lot of strength.....

Pleasant dreams to all.

Like Janie, thought I would check in and see what was happening in the family and there was a note from June,  June, sorry you had such a hard time with your breathing.  And happy that you are feeling better and got see to see all your family.

Had company most of the day here.  Two cousins, a mom and her  daughter came by then my daughter to change my dressing and then a friend of my wifes.  Finally about 3:30 things calmed down and I got to watch some football. 

I am so sore I can hardly move, so I just took some Tylenol and fixing to hit the sack.  If I am this sore in the morning I think I will skip church, I am not sure I could stand to stay seating for an hour and half without squirming like a two year old and get up at the end to get out of my seat. 

Anyhow, hope everyone has a good day tomorrow.


Lloyd Hammond

 June sorry you had such of a bad day, but don't get so down and want to check out so soon, you are a big boost with your wisdom and love for us all.  we need you. I should do a better job of posting to your reply's. Keep your chin up and grin and bare it for us. we all Love you.

We all have our bad day's as good ones. Like yesterday. I took tractor and tiller
And went over to the arena and spent four hours tilling on it. it was to dry to get it in shape for the bearell recess. was too hard and dry to get in good shape with out watering down. I had no one to haul water. must have 12 -15
women showed up to take part in the event. only one came over and spoke.
all at once they all just started driving off as I all most had it in shape for them to do there thing. well the fellow that was there supervising called bob and told him what went on. bob said there loss .that was supposed to be the last event for the season. no more there they can build there own place on one of there own places. they can fiend out how much it takes in $$$ to operate it. Have a great day.

Good morning everyone...

June so good to see you in here....hope each day brings an improvement for you.

Lloyd, no matter what one does you can't please everyone..your right let them find out on their own.

Jane , hope you are also better this morning..

Hal,today may be better for you and the soreness gone.

Jenny, wouldn't that be good news if Irma went out to sea .

Have company coming this morning for a visit and I need to do a few things before they come. 

Enjoy your day everyone..

I woke extra early on this church day, will feed cats & myself before getting dressed.  The winter bathrobe feels pretty good but will be ready to shed in half an hour.  I slept with the slider open & Tiger came to the door about midnight to sleep with me (I had not gone to sleep yet, many things on the mind, all those in the path of Irma, mainly).

June, prayers for you as I kneel this morning before church starts, my special quiet time to visit with God.  I'm so glad you got to hold YOUR baby "June" just like you feel God's arms around you.  You are special to everyone.   Enjoy this day, glad you feel better this morning.

Lloyd, sorry you did all that work and nobody stuck around to appreciate.  "Somebody" above us knows the good you do & appreciates, that is what counts! 

Gotta run but JENNY.... please e-mail me your phone number, not sure I can find it with my piles of notes in the RV..... I will call you
when I am in Salida the first night since there is NO CELL signal at the campground.  I plan to stay at the same Mt.Princeton campground where you came before.  Once I get parked & set up I don't move the elephant & Andy won't arrive until 2 or 3 days later.  We run around in his car.  Hope to see you, I'll check mail later & let you know how things are going, better move!

Hal, gentle hugs for your sore body.... hope you get a chance to sleep it off today.  Is the pup giving you lots of sympathy?

Good morning, Amy.  Have a beautiful day... as Callie would say, "a Super Sunday"....

JaneS

I'm up and decided to take my shower and make the bed while we wait out Annie's pill.  I think I'll be OK to go to church but we'll see when it gets closer to time to go.

It's almost time to give the doggies their breakfast, eat mine and finish dressing. 

Make today a good one!

Hi everyone. While we are fine here this morning by tomorrow morning it is going to be another situation.  We will be getting wind and heavy rain and a high chance of tornadoes from the outer bands. 

This afternoon we will get our emergency lights, radio medicine and some important papers together. I will also take the chairs and table from our front porch, fill the bathtub with water and turn the freezer down  to its lowest setting.  We are going to put two chairs in our laundry room as this is probably the strongest point in our house for protection.  Undoubtedly we will experience power outages and have no idea of how long these could last.  If I don't post it probably means we don't have power although should be able to make a short post with my phone if the cell towers stay up.  We certainly don't expect anything like what the coast cities and Florida and perhaps up through Georgia and Tennessee will experience. There are a lot of evacuees here from the coast area and Florida with many in shelters that have been opened. 

I plan on going to Church this morning but have no idea whether Pat will go as she didn't have such a good day yesterday.  She was on her feet too much.

Gloria, very nice of the furniture store to collect the items and get them to where they are needed. Disasters bring out the good in people. It sounds like you must be having a lot of turnover in tenants in your building and one would think that might be a clue to the owners that something isn't right. 

Amy, it seems strange to read about it being too cold to stay somewhere but guess we are now in that time of the year that we will be having much cooler weather.  I did put on a long shelved shirt yesterday and again today as a lot cooler here than we have been having. 

Jenny, sorry that Mark didn't get the job but perhaps an even better position is waiting for his talents. 

Shirley, glad your son was able to help you get your Fitbit set. 

Lloyd, it is great that electricians and other people can go and help out when needed.  They certainly have their work cut out for them.  It sounds like Florida has done a very good job in getting things in place and arranged before the disaster occurs today.  Interesting story about your battle with New Mexico. 

June, was glad to see you got to feel better yesterday after the problem you had on Friday with breathing.  How nice to get the unexpected visit with your grandson and family and the chance to hold the great grandchild. 

A special good morning to those of you I didn't respond this morning.   

halkel

Good Morning Everyone!

I am feeling better, but going to skip church. 

Shirley, I am afraid my pup is feeling her age too.  She does greet me and wants her pet but after she gets it she heads back to her bed or just lays down beside me, like now, while I am on the puter.

Larry, sounds like you are ready for your visit from Irma.  Hopefully she will come in with you on her weak side and you want get anything but some wind, like here in San Antonio.  We never lost power during Harvey, but we have underground utilities.

June hope you have a great day, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I don't know of anything earth shattering going on around here.  I suspect we will try to get out and get a bite to eat and my daughter will be over to dress my elbow after I get my shower and I may try to watch some football.

Janie, hope you "dizzies" have gone away and you day goes well.

Good  Sunday morning to all the  Seniors and Friends.

We have a beautiful sunny morning, but still a little chilly.  I had turned on the heat last night, but turned it back off during the night.   Doesn't really feel like I need it this morning. I sure am not ready for the furnace to be on just yet.  But, if I get chilly enough,  I will certainly run it to take the chill off now,.

Yesterday was another busy  day.  Blood work early in the morning,  back home to eat breakfast, then left to go to a niece's  bridal shower at noon, then spent some time at my sister-in-law's house and then my son picked me up there and I came home and got a little supper and  then crashed.   Slept pretty good after all I did yesterday.  Turned out to be a nice day, as I got to see some family members that I don't get to see a lot.  Real sweet nieces,  who took care of their "old Aunties" quite well.  Waited on us for anything we needed.  The shower was outside and it did get a little chilly, but we were provided with extra sweaters and shawls to help when the sun went behind the clouds. 

Today, will be a lazy day.  Have watched some of the hurricane news, but changed over to the Sunday Morning show and they had their regular show, with only
a little snippets of the hurricane news.   It can get overwhelming  at times.  Thoughts go out to all the areas involved. 

Hope everyone will be feeling better this morning and enjoy their Sunday,

Good morning everyone, had trouble getting to sleep last night so got up and read for awhile. Finally slept good after that and woke at 9:30, morning is half over already. I feel rested this morning though.These hurricanes make me wonder how this building would survive one not even as bad as these last 2. I would not like to up here on the top floor in one. We have not had one here in quite a long time and this building in only 11 years old and never been through one. Got some treats last week. Older son brought me more tomatoes and a bag ot Mac apples. Oh that was what I was longing for. Nothing like the taste of that first picked Mac of the season, tart and juicy. Second son brought me some native peaches that he got at my favorite farm. Ripe and juicy and tasty.

MARY ANN  seems like local news just keeps repeating themselves about Irma, they did the same with Harvey. It is horrible with all that rain and wind but there is other news, too.

JEANNE LEE  a friend here has a granddaughter in Florida and there has been no news from here and she is worried. Hope your family members are all safe.

AMY  on breezy cool days is a great day to do laundry.I liked hanging my pillows on the line and then making up the bed later with fresh smelling sheets and pillows, drifting to sleep with that smell.

JANE  wish my daughter could drop by every week end. At least we do see each other on Skype every day. My son had to work all day yesterday so was late getting here. He called before he left to come here to see if I needed anything. The time would be a little earlier than we would be on Skype so I called her and asked if she could get on earlier. She did so they got a chance to see and talk for awhile. He has my old PC but never has time to learn anything about it so they both enjoyed their time together for awhile. Maybe I should send my CNA to the pharmacy to find some Arnica gel to see if it would help my shoulder, wonder if it would help my back.

SHIRLEY  NO do not shut up. A lot of your old wives medicine is better than today's pills. I hope IF  S&F closes we will be told ahead of time. I do not think PAT would leave us in the lurch like SN did with their lies about being hacked.

LLOYD  just heard on local news that crews from here are ready to head to Florida with their trucks and equipment to help restore power. They figure they could be there a month.

JUNE  hope you are feeling better today. Wonderful that you got to hol Ashley June. Is that the first time you have seen her? Hard to belive she is 2 already.

JANE  just remember to move and turn slow, that is what helped me. Easy to say but hard to do when you are used to moving fast.

JENNY  in the 3 years I have lived here the owners were here a few months after I moved in. Never saw them again. They trust the witch who thinks she is the owner and this is her property.

HAL  hope you are not as sore this morning. Take care of YOU.

SHIRLEY  I have put my winter robe on every morning this past week and glad it was not packed away.

LARRY  several have moved from here and the witch has that apartment filled in 2 days. Maintenance man does not have time to do a good cleaning before someone moves in, he used to have 2 weeks to clean and paint not no time for that. As long as the apartments are rented it looks like that is all the owners care about. Stay safe where you live. I wonder about all those who used to post here that we no longer hear from that are in the hurricane paths.

JOY  you are lucky the heat is on where you live. It is turned off here in mid May and turned on the beginning of October.

Good morning, on this cool crisp day.  Heard the heat come on before I got up.

June, hope you feel better  how nice you had that visit from your GS. I have had the treatment with the mask and that really helps.  As I wrote before I now have oxygen in the house WHEN I NEED IT only. Yesterday was the neighbor hood party, everyone brought a  covered dish.  Someone bought a wheel chair over and insisted I come.  So I made my jello salad with the dry jello and cottage cheese. (my son Mark use to call it jello junk when he was little) I stayed for a while, but did get tired and came home. Did use a little ong yen thn.

JaneS, my cardiologist did suggest that I use Arnical gel for my arthritis.

Gloria, this last time I was in the hospital they put the port in my right hand and that hurt.

JeaneLee, so nice you had a visit from your son.

Joy, I also watch some of the storm, and then turn to another channel.  My best friend, just bought a place on the river with a boat in Naples.  they bought it in March, and plan to go down in Oct.

Jenny, I am also sorry your son did not get the job, but there will be another corner.

shirley, have a safe trip, and maybe you will find your lost kitty.  I have a sign over my desk.  It says Miracles happen to those who believe.

I did go to church and it was fine.  I'm glad I decided to try because I truly enjoyed the service and today was the "Welcome Back" breakfast for those returning to regular attendance after the summer.  It was held between the two services and it was nice to have interaction with those who always attend the 10 o
clock service. 

After church, I made a quick stop at WM for some grocery items that I needed and then came home and let the doggies out.  While they putzed around the yard, I stretched out on the settee in the sun and fell asleep.  Good way to break the day.  Guess some of those zzzzs are outside, too.

Now I'm going to give the doggies a snack, get one for me and start making some meals for the week....Meat loaf and scalloped potatoes to start with.

Enjoy your day!

After a whirlwind visit from late Friday to early this morning, Ken has gone back to New Jersey.  :(   We watched the tennis tournament, finished up the Power of Attorney, took care of a few little chores and talked.  And talked.  And talked.  His wife's daughters are now safe and sound  Puerto Rico, where they were transferred by the army.  What a story they'll have for their grandchildren some day.   :D

Gloria,  from reading some of your messages,  we have a lot of the same problems where I live, but I must say our manager is pleasant.  However,  I have been here 10 years in November,  and this manager is the 8th one that has been here in those 10 years.  So, that tells you that they all have not worked out that good.  I can't really say they have been nasty to the residents..... at least not to me.  But, since there are so many complainers here, there is always someone to complain about something. 

We had a "mandatory" meeting last week.  Now that was a first, and nobody thought they could "demand" someone to come.  It was a great turn-out, but not everyone did show up.  One of the VP from the home office in Massachusetts was here and just wanted to know some of the issues that some residents had.  Several issues were brought up and of course,  this man assured them that they would be addressed.  We did find out that our activity director was returning from a long medical absence, on Monday. She will only be working 20 hours a week and she is supposed to be trying to get some activities organized again, since everything stopped when she got sick.  Before she got sick, she was doing the job of about 6 people and that probably was one of the causes of her having a stroke.  Supposedly, her doctor has told her she can't be working under any kind of stress.  And, believe me, this isn't  the best place to be working without any stress.  So, apparently, she is only going to work with getting some of the activities back going.  Since we have quite a few new people since she has been out,  maybe there will be more people to participate.  Time will tell.

As far as being able to turn my heat on.   My thermostat is set to run AC and heat, so it is just a matter of switching from heat to cool and adjusting the temperature for cool or hot. I have only let it run long enough to take the chill of and then just lower the temperature so it won't go on.  My apartment is on the north side of the building, so I don't get much sun and I am always cold in the winter, and have to raise the temperature up before it gets really warm. I am just miserable when I am cold,  so my electric bill in the winter is quite a big higher in the winter than it is in the summer.  Don't really have to use my A/C very much, unless we have some especially hot days. 

I know you don't like the cold, but I am not looking forward to wintertime.  I love the summer and it really can't get too hot for me.

All in all,  I tend to spend a lot of time in my apartment, as I like to read, or crochet, or watch movies and can always seem to be able to find something to do.

There are a nice group of people who have sat outside during nice days and we do try to solve the world's problems with no success, but we all do seem to be able to discuss things without any controversy.  I do like to be around people, but I am also like having my alone time.

It is a nice sunny afternoon here in Central Maryland.  But, we are supposed to be getting the rains from the hurricane starting Tuesday and continuing until Friday.  Hope it doesn't get too dreary.

Jane, glad you were feeling up to going to church and also you got a little nap in, too.   June, do hope you are feeling better today.  Hal, hope your aches and pains won't be as bad today.  A fall like that usually takes a while to get over. Hope each day will be better.

Hope everyone is enjoying a nice Sunday afternoon.

My Dearest loving friends, I want to thank you all for your loving concerns about me. You are Great medicine believe me. I feel rejuvenated just reading your kind thoughts. I'm sure that one of these days I will return to normal, but if what is happening is "normal" I will accept it and be thankful for any energy coming my way. As it is now, I wake after a very peaceful night sleep, but not ready to get up and start the day, so I doze off for another hour or so. Every now and then my breathing gets difficult so I do as my wonderful Nurse Carolina taught me, "inhale deeply through the nose, exhale strongly through the mouth." It seems to take away the weakness and dizziness. The oxygen treatment worked, but I had them take away the equipment. The time may come when I need it permanently but I would like to stay on my own as long as possible. Both my blood test and lung test were fine..a slight variation, but nothing to worry about. God is so Good to me.

My Ashely June is the joy of my heart. So "out-going" with a bit of a stubborn streak, just like her gr. grandma. She enjoyed my jar of miniature jelly bean. Enjoyed opening and closing the jar, enjoyed eating them and enjoyed feeding one to Gr. Grandma. Ricki is my Grandaughter by marriage..some think the name is male, but she was named after her Aunt……both girls. She is a treasure. God has been SO kind to me.

Getting a bit weary, so will close for now with SO MUCH love to all of you, and for your kind, caring, messages. You all are a whole big bundle of God's Love, and what he wants us to be to one another. Blessings dear hearts, forever..June
As long as we are here, let's dance.

Good morning everyone..

Today is a day of remembrance not just for Irma but for 9 - 11 too..
I have been watching the news and seeing all the destruction going on ,praying it soon stops!!

Need to take garbage to the dump then pop over to see hubby's sister for a bit. Later I will finish off the garden and that job will be done. 

Better get a move on here.

Enjoy your day everyone..

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I hope this day brings you chances for everything you want to do.  We're in "pill wait" time for Annie.  When the timer boings, we'll have our breakfast.

Later, like Amy, I'll have to take my trash to the dumpster....not the dump.  My son'ts store and apartment house has a dumpster in the back and I use it too.

Last night I decided on turkey meatloaf and scalloped potatoes.  Since I couldn't decide on a veggie, I decided to have dessert instead.  It was a good choice!

Make today yours!  Fill it with whatever pleases you most!

Good Morning everyone.
I am feeling better today than I have a quite a while. so I am going to go run the bulldozer today and try to finish the job for the neighbor and bring the dozer home and get a few things done here so I can sell it and some other
pieces of equipment. have a offer of selling farm with the use of like my owen
still for Nancy's and my life.all the equipment (as machinery) goes with the sale. but shop tools and autos ( van and pick up) are to be sold to children surviving and $$ divided with them. and any familey member has the option to
buy back for just principle no interest to be paid. we are strongly looking at it.
the $$ agreed on would let us buy a nice pickup truck and one bedroom camping Taylor.

Good Monday morning. 

I am up, but not quite "attem" yet.  Need to get some coffee and breakfast.  I have not turned the TV on yet,  so don't know what Irma has done overnight.

I especially wanted to check on my son and Dil's flight home from Athens.   They got their flight from Athens at 12 noon, Greece time, which would have been around 5 a.m. my time ( EDT) and won't get to Newark Airport until about 4 (EDT) Long flight, which I just realized was on 9/11. Will be a very long day as I wait to hear that they are back on US ground.  They don't get into Dulles until around 9 p.m.  They don't worry about flying all over the world, but I sure do.

Looks like a very pretty sunny day outside my window.  But,  the temperature is only 47 º  right now.  And, it feels chilly by the window.  I will probably turn the heat up to take the chill off.

Now, I must go see about some breakfast.

Amy, Jane, and Lloyd, hope your day is already going well.

Good Morning Everyone!

Where do you start? 9-11. Harvey, Irma.  All have brought so much hurt to folks.  Today will especially bring back some very bad memories for the loved ones who lost family and friends in the towers.  I had a very close friend who survived 9-11, she has since passed on.

I hope all our Florida friends have fared well and suffered little or not damage from Irma.  I watched much of the tragedy unfolding on the news yesterday.  Also saw evidence of man's stupidity by seeing some people who ventured out during the storm.  Idiots on parade.

Our cleaning lady is suppose to be here this morning. And that is about all that will be happening around here

Amy, you never slow down, do you lady?  Hope you get all done that you want to accomplish.

Lloyd, seems you and Nancy have a big decision to make, don't rush it.
But I am sure you wont.

Larry, hope you don't have any damage from Irma.  And the hard rain misses you too.

Hi everyone. It is a rainy morning and the winds are increasing in intensity.  So far the rain is not really heavy yet.  Our forecast this morning is talking about wind gusts of 35 to 40 MPH but hopefully those won't be sustained gusts.  However, just now heard the man on the Weather Channel say the Augusta area may have winds up to 60 MPH this afternoon.  So today will be just keeping an eye on the weather and hoping for the best.  This is such a huge storm but we are as prepared as I know how to be.

Hal, was nice to see you were feeling better yesterday. 

Joy, glad you have the type of heat/AC that you can control yourself.  You certainly had a busy week last week.  Glad you had a good time.

Gloria, like you I wouldn't want to be on a very high floor in a building.  Stacey was on the 9th floor in the old apartment building she lived in for 6 years but was on the second or third floor of the last building.  Fresh fruit and vegetables sure sounds good.

deAngel, just recently Pat has been serving cottage cheese with dry orange jello on it and it is very tasty.  I bet your friend is very concerned as Naples got hit very hard by the hurricane. 

Jane, glad you felt up to attending Church yesterday and had no problems. 

Joy, nice that your apartment management gave you an opportunity to meet with the VP of the company that owns your building.  Now the question will be do they actually do anything to address some of the issues.  Do you participate in the activities planned in your building? 

Hi Cottoncandy, I hope you will join in our discussion here. 

June, nothing wrong with have a bit of a stubborn streak as that is probably what has kept you going all these years.  Pat had a grandmother who lived well into her 90's and she certainly had a stubborn streak.

Amy, I hadn't really focused on today being 9-11 unless it was mentioned yesterday.  Our concern here in the SE has been on the hurricane.  Are you closing up your garden for the season?

Jane, I like the way you think in deciding to substitute a dessert instead of a vegetable.  :)  That sounds like something I would do.

Lloyd, sure nice to read that you are feeling better today than you have been feeling. 

Gloria

Good morning everyone, at 9:10am it is 46° and the sun has been shining for a couple of hours already. That is local temperature, not the "official" one. Bedroom window was open all night and I moved pretty fast when I got up. Winter robe felt so great when I got it on.

GLORIA de wish I could turn the heat on when I got up this morning. I think this was the coldest one so far.

JEANNE LEE  I still have a booklet of the 1938 hurricane. Lot of pictures of Fall River, Mass. and Providence. When I lived in Providence at one of the bank buildings where I waited for the bus there was a mark on the buildingalmost 20 feet up, that was the water level of the floooding from that hurricane.

JOY  the manager is only the second one they have had and this building is 11 or 12 years old not. Many of them still talk about the first one and how great she was with all the elderly folks here. This one just acts like we are all in stages of dimentia. When she gets to our ages I would like to wish her having others treat her the way she treat us. No matter when you get a group together you find complainers. Allthey have for activites is Bingo on Wednesday evening. They keep putting messages on the bullitin board about activites in senior houseing in Woosocket and a sign up sheet in the laundry room. They think we all have cars and get there. Ny apartment faces southwest so have sun for a lot of hours in the summer. About noon time I pull the shades down to keep the sunshine out. In the winter I do like that sunshine.

LLOYD  are you really serious about selling your farm? Would be great for you and Nancy to have some time to travel a bit and enjoy life.

LARRY  hope the winds do not pick up too much where you are and not too much rain. If we had a hurricane in the forecast I think I would ask my son if I could stay at his house.  Do not know how safe this building would be in high winds and rain.

Early evening check in to see how things are going today. 

No posts since this morning, so that might not be a good sign. 

I have been very melancholy today......remembering 16 years ago. 
IF only our country could all come together as we did 16 years ago......waving old glory, candles in windows, compassion for our fellow man!  A day we will never forget.....😪

LARRY, I checked the weather in your area and so far it does not look too bad.  I hope you will be safe and have no damage. 

We are clouding over and it appears we may have a storm moving in.  My Broncos play here in Denver tonight, so I hope the storm will not be too bad.  The game does not start until 8:30, so a lot can change in 3 + hours.  I am not happy about two Monday night games.  WHY?

I've been in and out but didn't take time to post.  Sorry about that.  I finished a lot of odd jobs that have been waiting before I picked up Kiran.  It was a beautiful day here.  Warm enough to have the door open but cool enough for long sleeves.  I noticed that some leaves were down.  I'm not looking forward to that but it shouldn't be so bad this year after all the tree trimming I had done.  There shouldn't be so many to rake up.

Is anyone else watching the "OUTLANDER" series on TV?  I read all the books as they came out and now I'm watching the series.  A lot was left out or changed slightly but it's still basicly the same story.

I've fed the doggies but I haven't eaten anything myself.  I think I need a salad.  Sounds good!  Enjoy your evening Everyfriend!
