Good Morning!
Good Afternoon!
Good Evening! And....
Good Night!

I've had a good day. Made Spaghetti and ate a lot of it! Let Cooper take me for 3 walks! Cleaned up the kitchen! Worked a crossword puzzle! Read a couple chapters of my book! Talked to all my kids on the computer and got a new picture of my youngest Great Grandson!

I think that's all but maybe I missed a few things.

PHYLLIS, I hope you get the stuff done on your house before something else "hollers" for attention!

It was a nice day here, too, AMY, but it did make it to 80 for about an hour then moved back down the thermometer. Our nights have all been in the low 60s and it does make sleeping easier!

Frankie is off tomorrow so I won't have Cooper. I'm thinking what I should get into while I have a little extra time. Hmmmmmm?

Have a good rest of the day and a Good Night! RICK, raid the cookies any time!

I WISH ANOTHER "GOOD MORNING" TO EVERYFRIEND!

Amy · August 29, 2023, 07:04:32 AM

Good morning..

Starting out at 40° and it will climb!

Work order was changed yesterday and outside work was done then in to bake bread and a cobbler. Maybe today or maybe not yesterdays work will get done.

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

RAMMEL · August 29, 2023, 09:02:00 AM

Good day to anyone passing by. Starting a bit cooler, and that's good. Rain and thunderstorms predicted for this evening and through the night.

Amy · August 29, 2023, 12:13:20 PM

My friend strikes again with the wisdom of words..

My doctor asked if anyone in my family suffered from mental illness. I said, "No, we all seem to enjoy it.

My bucket list: keep breathing.

Camping: where you spend a small fortune to live like a homeless person.

Just once, I want a username and password prompt to say, "Close enough."

Being an adult is the dumbest thing I have ever done.

I'm a multi - tasker. I can listen, ignore and forget all at the same time!

Retirement to do list: Wake up. Nailed it!

Went to an antique auction and people were bidding on me.

People who wonder if the glass is half empty or half full, miss the point. The glass is refillable.

I don't have grey hair; I have wisdom highlights.

Sometimes it takes me all day to get nothing done.

I don't trip, I do random gravity checks.

My heart says chocolate and wine, but my jeans say, please, please, please eat a salad!

Never laugh at your spouse's choices. You are one of them.

One minute you're young and fun. The next, you're turning down the car stereo to see better.

Losing weight doesn't seem to be working for me, so from now I'm going to concentrate on getting taller.

My body is a temple; ancient and crumbling.

Common sense is not a gift. It's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone else who doesn't have it.

I came. I saw. I forgot what I was doing. Retraced my steps. Got lost on the way back. Now I have no idea what's going on. But, I remembered to send this to you.

patricia19 · August 29, 2023, 03:19:58 PM

My favorite is, "The glass is refillable!"

Denver · August 29, 2023, 03:52:15 PM

Another week up and running (away from me)‼️‼️

I managed to loose another post so I will do my best to concentrate so I do not loose another one😩🤪🤪

I had a bit of sadness to deal with last week, but I pulled myself up by my bootstraps and I am up and running again.

Worried about those in the path of Hurricane Idalia.....

Loved and laughed over your sayings AMY‼️ Thanks‼️

Not much else to talk about. Have a good day EVERYFRIEND.

I think my favorite is "Sometimes it takes me all day to get nothing done!" But they are really ALL good!

I made pumpkin pie today and left some in the Soda Shoppe. Eat it before it has a chance to spoil! I think it's pretty good!

Got a lot done but it probably doesn't show! Tomorrow we're heading for the Farmers Market and then I'll have tomatoes to do!

JaneS · August 29, 2023, 09:12:34 PM

Good night! Sweet dreams!

RAMMEL · August 29, 2023, 09:44:27 PM

Good night (after a piece of that pie).

Amy · August 30, 2023, 05:29:35 AM

Good morning..

Dark out there! No storm or rain like they had predicted over night, maybe today??

Not sure what is happening today, if I can get an appointment for Babe we will be taking her up to see why she is having trouble with one ear.

Jane, thank you for the delicious pumpkin pie!! I did put a dab of whipping cream on mine. After saying no more cucumbers I bought a 1/2 bushel to another recipe of icicle pickles. I know the lady is going to ask me if I made them so needed to do them to be able to say yes.

Patricia, if I can get the photo my friend sent me , I will try and post it. She and the dog were on a walk and saw a bear fishing..big black bear and thankfully he was more interested in eating his fish than them!!

Early start to the day today..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · August 30, 2023, 06:28:09 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend and a special GOOD Morning to you, AMY. Interesting...I had some whipping cream on my pie, too! I wonder if RICK found it!

I'm up and attem early because Cooper will be here at 6:45 and I need to be ready to meet his needs so I can get a shower and into clean clothes and ready to head for the Farmers Market when Cathy says shes ready to go! All she said was "Wednesday morning" so I'm not sure yet!

We had a rain storm during the night and I had to run around closing windows and bringing in pads from the porch chairs. Then I had to change my jammies because it was blowing and I got pretty wet. All's well now and the garden got a nice watering!

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow

I'm not a lover of whipped cream, so had my pie without it.
Everything is wet outside so guess we had rain during the night. Slight drizzle now and just above 70. Will be watching the Florida news about the hurricane.

Amy · August 30, 2023, 10:46:08 AM

We also had a nice rain here, much needed for the plants. We managed to get an appointment for the vet and will soon be going as it is almost a 2 hour drive.

Rick, you're not alone on not liking whipped cream, Kyle isn't a fan either..

patricia19 · August 30, 2023, 12:12:04 PM

Good morning, 53 and more rain at 7:54 in the morning. Thankfully, they're promising sunshine for September other than the first week. Nothing is planned here except finishing a few delayed chores and computer cleanouts.

Amy, I saw your photo and hope it was zoomed. Grizzly and black bears are roaming about, trying to bulk up for the winter. In 2019, they had to shoot a black bear and two cubs because the mama bear had ripped off the lid of a large chest freezer in someone's open garage, and she and her yearling cubs had become a nuisance in the neighborhood. In 2021, a black bear chased and killed a sixteen-year-old boy during a cross-country race. They follow the moose and other animals into the city outskirts during fall, and kids are driven to bus stops where they wait for the bus in cars.

JaneS · August 30, 2023, 09:52:53 PM

Goodnight Everyfriend!

Amy · August 31, 2023, 07:05:33 AM

Good morning.

Fall is putting its feet closer to us, 38° sweater weather!

Babe came home with an antibiotic for 5 days to take. I cut the pill in half, yes it is big and wrap it in a piece of cheese and then the game begins.

Work around home today and get outside jobs wrapped up.May pull the beets, will see how the day goes.

Patricia,wild animals are to be respected, they were here first then people built homes. The next door neibour got a surprise when a bear went in and rumaged around his garage!

Better get the day started.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · August 31, 2023, 08:17:34 AM

Good Morning One and All! I've been up and attem for a bit. Cooper spent the night so we had our breakfast together and then I got dressed and we went for a walk. Now he's out in the front yard doing his thing and I've been in the kitchen getting my tomatoes on and cooking down to make sauce. It will be canned later today. And the dishwasher is pretty full! It will get a run today.

AMY, I thought it was cold here at 59 degrees. I'm not ready for the 30s yet! I think I might be able live with a permanant 50s, 60s and once and a while into the 70s. But I'll take whatever comes.

I'm going to go get the canner and the jars and lids ready next! It'll take a couple hours for the tomatoes to turn into tomato sauce so I have some time!

AMY, I hope your four-legged friend feels better soon. I know how hard it is to get pills into them. I used to pick out something I knew they loved to eat and stick the pills in that. I worked for my doggies!

Cooper loves being out in my yard but he sure does find lots to bark at out there. We're working on the "no barking" thing and when he doesn't bark, I wonder if he somehow got out and I keep going to the door to check on him. I'm not sure if it's easier if he barks or nicer if he doesn't!

i've just about finished my second cup of coffee so I better get a "wiggle on" or I won't be ready whe the sauce is! I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow.

RAMMEL · August 31, 2023, 09:35:12 AM

Cool, calm, and quiet here. Down just below 60 last night. Seems we very often have the same weather conditions as Jane. But then, --- I think I am just a bit East of her.
I'm going to have a Bill paying day today. Time to write out some checks for my creditors - keep them happy. Then, if the weather continues as is, some time "resting" on the (small) front porch.

phyllis · August 31, 2023, 11:08:57 AM

The hurricane passed us by. A little bit of wind and a nice gentle rain...which we needed....and now the sun is out. Also, the repair company finished up repairing all of the animal damage just before the rain started and what is even better...they did a great job. I cringed when I handed over final check but that is part of the joy of dealing with house upkeep. The company was prompt, business-like, did a good job, and cleaned up everything before they left. I'll call them again.

The world is looking brighter to me today.

Take care, All.

Amy · August 31, 2023, 12:58:27 PM

Some baking done, some potatoes dug and now to sew:) Still have two trugs with potatoes in them to do but they can wait. Saved out the tiny potatoes to wash off ,leave whole and have with supper tonight.

Phyllis, that sounds like a great company to hang onto plus recommend them to others.

Jane, so far the pill in the cheese is working, when it doesn't then it is a choice of peanut butter or a slice of meat. What we don't do to get meds in them!!

JaneS · August 31, 2023, 09:45:52 PM

The tomato sauce is all done and sitting on the dining room table. Tomorrow morning the jars will be wiped and labeled and put on the shelves to be ready to use when the snow flies!

RICK, I think you might be a 3 to 4 hour drive from where I live. The weather probably passes through here and hits you on it's way to the ocean!

I'm off to the haystack. I'm worn out right down to the floor so I'm hitting the haystack on the way! Sleep well and wake up ready for the day! I have to be up to meet Cooper at 6:45. Today he spent the whole day out in the yard. He only asked to come in once and he got a drink of water and was right back outside! He's not going to like it when winter shows up!

Denver · August 31, 2023, 11:59:44 PM

Last couple of days have been a bit cRaZy around here.

Yesterday I had to go to the same pain center where I received epidural shots last May. I thought my doctor could just set them up again... but NO. A new reevaluation had to be done before I could get more steroid shots for my painful back/hip/leg done. I was a bit perturbed about having to do this. That being said, I had a VERY thorough exam done by a very kind professional PA-C. Way more questions asked and exam done that told me more about the condition of my lower back AND my neck issues. I was SO HAPPY I went. I was to schedule an appointment (first available was the end of October) to get lower back done ASAP. BIG emphasis put on me getting on a wait list for cancellations. The Good Lord was watching out for me....they just had a cancellation that I could go to if we would drive about 45 minutes to the South in Colorado Springs. We jumped on it immediately.

The drive down is always a fun thing to do......anytime I can view Pikes Peak and the towers on the chapel at the Air Force Academy I am in awe! The appointment went smoothly and with any hope I will get a good ride out of these shots. They are quite uncomfortable, as many of you might know, but I have a very strong threshold for pain and I only oohed a couple of times as quietly as possible. Tonight I am having quite a few moving serges of pain in a few spots that RE the troubled ones.....so just hoping it will be much better tomorrow 🤪🤪🥰🥰

PHYLLIS, so glad you had minimal issues from Idalia at your home. I feel your pain for the cost of repairs at your home. Everything costs so much to get done these days. We are going to be doing the same thing shortly here at our home. A couple of neighbors have just finished repairs on siding from " critters" of some kind. Our HOA does the painting that we are more than due for, but all repairs are our responsibility 😩

AMY, I just saw a joke about doggies discussing pills being hidden in something....so funny but unfortunately I did not snag it🤪🤪. Hope the pills have Babe covered well so no infections ‼️‼️

Dr. Dave will bring Lola and Mönch over early tomorrow morning to spend the weekend with us as he and his kiddos are going to CA to visit our youngest son and DIL.

I am about to head off to bed.....not feeling too great. Pleasant dreams to all and please enjoy my piece of Pumpkin Pie....with cream or without....as it is not one of the things I am willing to waste my calories on....but THANK YOU JANE for sharing.
