Good morning everyone..

Beautiful morning here temp is 40° at the moment..I see hubby has a flannel shirt on!

We don't have anything planned other than house hold chores and I see the green beans are now on so they need to be picked.

Larry, I do get the van done each year as it protects it from rust and as you know our roads here are covered in salt/saline solution in the winter . Hope you enjoyed your dinner and time with Scott last night.

Jane,I am going to check to see if the Red Haven peaches are in and you know what I will be doing!! I have pears leftover from last year so I don't think I will do those  but may pick up some plums to do. Have you doe plums before??

Roley, thank you ,I shall watch this later with my cuppa tea.

June, sounds like you had the perfect day and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Gloria, I don't know what I would have done without the rollator for hubby. They are a God send when ones legs just aren't up to par.I also have a transport wheelchair that we used when he had to go from one end of the hospital to the other and the wheelchair made it much easier for him.

I had better get a wiggle on and get my work done.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning everyone, a cool morning of  62°. Was chilly in here with the AC on all night but felt good to me. Cloudy but will warm  to the upper 70s later according to the forecast. Back to 90s next week, yuck.

PETER  I will check out the link later but I will send it to my grandson and maybe my greatgrandson will like it.

LARRY  it is thanks to the Witch that people are not socializing like they did when I move in here. If we use the kitchen now she goes in an checks it and if she says it is dirty she will lock the doors. If we gather in the community room she says we leave it dirty and will lock those doors. So far we have not heard anything about the meeting we had and so many had complaints.

JANE  one of my CNAs loves to shop especially the BOGO sales and she loves coupons. I know she saves me money when I send her to the market.

JUNE  you sound like me, some days I just do not  want to get dressed and get out but I make myself do it, like you I need the exercise and go out most says and walk around. On the days we have rain I will go downstairs and see if anyone is around.

JENNY  at times when this computer gives me a pain I think I want an iPad. At least I would not have to sit at the desk and could sit somewhere more comfortable.

PETER  I have opened your link in a new window and will watch it later. I cannot imagine walking 99 miles.

AMY  my son had a good crop of green beans this year and I now have some in the fridge. I didn't want to tell him I do not care for them.

Have a great day.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  It's NOT raining here and I'm grateful for that because the bad news is....My roof still leaks and they told me that if the caulking didn't work, I'd need a new (something...I forgot what they called it) but it's up on the top where the two sides meet. 

Also, I took a long step coming down the stepladder one of the times and I think I twisted something.  I have a pain that circles my body at low back level.  As a rule, I don't take pain killers but today is an exception. 

AMY, I've never done plums.  Is this your first time?  Let me know how they are!

One of my BOGOs yesterday was Bottom cut London Broil on a buy one...get two free.  These are the cheaper cuts so I'm going to do one in the crockpot with an envelope of onion soup mix and a can of cream of mushroom soup and some carrots.  I've done this before and it really turns out tender and tasty.

GLORIA, there's an easy and delicious way to use up those green beans.  Get a small piece of ham and throw it in the crock pot for a couple of hours,  break it up add a couple cups or so of water and dump the beans and some cut up potatoes (with or without the skins), salt and pepper and let it cook on low until the beans and potatoes are cooked and you'll have a meal that would please my entire family and not hard to do. Freezes well, too! AMY, cans well too...in pressure canner because of the meat.  But you probably know that!

JENNY, I'm sure you are thankful that your family didn't move to Hawaii.  I hope your cousin? is safe and that the storm pretty well peters out before it gets there.

I think I'll be spending today dealing with the bogos and getting them ready for the freezer.  Forgot to say that the one store, in an effort to get customers to try their own brand had several bogos that if you buy the nationally known brand you got a freebie of the store brand.  I took advantage of that on two items.  Good deals!

It's cold here today...58º right now but it was in the low 50s overnight.  And it's only supposed to get to 78 at the warmest.  But, like Gloria, the warm temps are coming back later in the week.

JaneS as you where the two sides come together is the ridge cap. a leak up there is a big opening. needs attrition quickly,and at our age we need to not be on ladders. you keep it up and Nancy will be calling you a accident looking for a place same as she dose about me. better to hurt your pocket book instead of you. hire some young man. Have a great day.

Hi Everyone.  We are expecting another beautiful partly cloudy morning and then sunny afternoon with no expectation of rain and a temperature high of about 86.  I have a full morning planned and have already been pretty busy with kitchen chores.  I still will need to fix Pat's breakfast and fold a basket of clothes.  Then I will make a quick stop at the Walmart Pharmacy to pick up a couple of prescriptions and then pick up my friend to go downtown to have coffee with the guys.  I anticipate that we will be having one of our homemade frozen dinners this evening as our main meal. 

Jane, glad you had your day on the express register.  It is hard to pass up the BOBO offers on items you would normally buy. 

June, you had a busy day.  Glad you like your doctor so much. 

Jenny, making a decision to sell and then buy another home at our age and go through the moving process isn't something to be desired, although sometimes it is the thing we have to do.  I know you and Bob have been through the moving process many times so am stating the obvious. We had also moved many times but we were younger and had more energy.  I didn't even consider trying to buy an older home as wanted one that at least started out not needing updating or a lot of maintenance when we moved here and it was the right choice for us.  However, I was certainly glad we didn't wait any longer to move.  It is always exciting to get a new computer for iPad.  At least as of now I have no plans on getting a new iPad as mine still works fine.  I am going to set it up for Pat to use in her sewing room as it will do all the things she does up there.  We talked with Scott last night about giving the laptop that is upstairs to our granddaughter if she wants it.  That sounds like it is going to be a bad hurricane for Hawaii. 

Roley, thanks for the new link and I will watch it later today.  A 99 mile walk is a long walk. 

Amy, I can so remember the summers when my mother would pick buckets of green beans and we had fresh green beans.  I can still see in my mind my mother and grandmother sitting out on our front porch snapping the beans to prepare for canning and the washing process as well as the cooking process and the jars sealing as they cooled.  We did have a nice time with Scott last evening.  Pat did make the potato soup and he loved it.  However, the cut up ham that she put into it had no flavor so she will go back to using the bacon bits.  The last time I was at Costco I bought a big bag of dried plums, not prunes, and they are delicious.  They add good fiber to our diet and I think they will become a staple of our breakfast diet.  I can understand your comment about the long hospital corridors in the hospital.  Stacey was hospitalized so many times and her rooms was always a long walk from the parking garage as well as the hallway where she had a room.  Fortunately, they had some benches along the walkway and I could sit down and rest for a couple of minutes. 

Gloria, when I took the trash can to the street a little bit ago it was cool with a light breeze and low humidity.  It felt so good.  There is not much point in your community kitchen and meeting room if the witch keeps them locked and discourages you from using them.  Is there not a cleaning staff for the hallways and common areas?   She doesn't have to do any of the cleaning does she?  I think you would enjoy having the iPad but would certainly encourage you to get the large 10 inch screen one.  The case I have for mine makes an stand for it to sit so I don't have to hold it up. 

Jane, it is a roof ridge that you need?  Sorry you still have the leak but at least you have someone to call.  Sorry to hear you have hurt your back with the stepladder and the bucket of water. 

Lloyd, I see we both share a concern for Jane and that ladder business but the weight of the bucket with the water in it. 


June Drabek

AMY, I always get special enjoyment when I turn on m computer and there you are with cheerful words and plans for your day. You are a special Joy in my life.

Gloria, I think you and I live very similar lives. We both have caring sons…so we are Blessed with that, plus we are able to get out and walk and even though we don't feel like doing it, we walk anyway, because we need that for our health. I was moving some furniture around this morning and wore my self out, but that's O.K. I now my body is still capable.

Janie, I wish it were cold here…..we stay in the mid 80's day after day after day. I would be so thankful for a good heavy rainstorm. I think you are a very good cook ! You enjoy doing it. Good for you girl.

Larry, I really love my doctor, and she likes me too. She called my son, at his request. She did it while I sat with her, so I overheard some of the conversation. What I heard pleased me. My son is so caring.

It is time for me to scoot down for lunch. I will see you all later. June

Thanks all for your sweet birthday messages.  Those days sure come around fast.  I am feeling better after the tripping fall in the parking lot - called the church and said someone should be out there to check if all the signs are up and not left flat.  All the aches & pain is gone and only a little road rash on my cheek - eye area is almost normal.  I have been using a wrap on one area by my hand and also using the paraffin dip for my hands as they are now not aching so much.  We take our hands for granted.  -- It was not a graceful fall. It was more like someone yelling Timber... and a tree being dropped. 

Gloria de:  I hope you can always stay in your apartment for your own comfort.  Can you have a meal brought in for you? 

Amy:  I spent this morning forcing myself to machine quilt - uff da - what a miserable job working on an almost queen quilt.  I didn't want to send it out - rather save the money.  Not in a good mood so I walked away and feel so much better and acting nicer.   ::)

Jenny:  I hope the hurricane bypasses the island.  Hey, are you guys looking for a different place?  What kind of place is it?  We lived in the Springs for a time and really liked it - the pace is not as fast as here and it isn't a bad drive except for Monument Hill in snow. 

June"  you have a special family.  You deserve the tender care.   :thumbup:






Shirley

Carol, I didn't go back to check, always in a rush.... but don't remember wishing you a Happy Birthday... I hope I thanked you for the news about the aspen 'cause I've been repeating myself over & over to my sons.  Both are excited we may get to see "the colors"! Thank you for the inspiring news.   :hb3: :hb2:

June Drabek

Carol this was a very special Birthday for you, since in spite of that wicked fall you had, you are healing, thanks be to God.

A quiet day here. There were things to do, of course,but I enjoy doing what I like best of all. Reading and napping.

I purchased a bottle of my favorite cologne from Amazon and it arrived today. Charlie Blue.This bottle was from Italy. Unusual.

I feel like taking a nice short walk before I settle in for the night. so off I go..May God grant you all a peaceful night and a happy tomorrow. Hugs, Love, and prayers. June

Just popping in to say...

Good Night Everyfriend!  I wish you all a restful sleep and a blessed day tomorrow.  You all deserve the BEST!

Forgot to say, the roof leak guys never showed up today.  I don't understand these young people who say they're going to do something and then have a complication and don't think it's necessary to call and tell someone who is waiting that they won't be able to make it.  I must be old fashioned but I think that's part of business.  I know they'll be here because they said they would and for some reason, I believe them.  But....

Oh well, I'm off to Dreamland!

Good evening.  We warmed up here today but it is nice and cool tonight and we are sure enjoying it.  The smoke haze was quite a bit better also. 

We met my cousin, his daughter, her daughter and the granddaughter for lunch today.  Did you get all of that?? Haha.  This cousin and I did not spend any time together when we were growing up, but we try to get together as often as possible to make up for lost time. 

The hurricane is continuing its course into The Hawaiian Islands.  So far it has not slowed down or turned as they hoped it might, so they are preparing for the worse.  My cousin has done a few videos from her home.....showing how they have tried to prepare for this storm.  She is very possessive about their being OK, but I do not get that feeling from what I see in the video.  I certainly hope and pray she and her family will be safe. 

Good for you, JUNE, ordering your favorite cologne.  I hope you enjoy it. Happy that Gary was pleased with what your doctor had to share with him about your health. 

AMY, I sure wish I could help you pick those green beans and get to enjoy them with you. 

GLORIA, Bob and I both enjoy using our iPads.  We sit in our recliners, AKA our RECHARGERS, and we enjoy them very much. 

JANE, I am so sorry to read that your roof did leak and that you are waiting for the roofers to return.  Sadly, many these days say all the right things, but they just do not have the work ethics that WE have and expect them to have! 😡

LARRY, happy that you did enjoy a nice evening with Scott.  Glad he too enjoyed the potato soup even if the ham did not meet up to Pat’s expectations.  I know ai sure would enjoy that soup. 

CAROL, your fall sounded pretty serious, so I am happy you are doing as well as you are.  We are just looking at our options regarding a move or biting the bullet and remodeling this place.  Either option is way more than we feel like dealing with to be honest.  We would not mind the distance to the Springs, as we are looking in the area just to the east of the academy.  We lived in that area in a brand new home in the early 70’s and I will never forget the WIND that we had to deal with at that time....
Other than that, I have always loved the Springs. 

Pleasant dreams to EVERYFRIEND......

Good morning everyone..

Looks like another grand day in the making here. I trimmed some trees yesterday and have two bags of branches and some limbs to go to the dump this morning. We will head on up to the Mennonite market to see if they have the Red Haven peaches in.

Jane, I haven't done plums down before but willing to give it a go....will let you know how I make out. Have a great day at work..lots of smiles..

Carol, oh my , that is a huge undertaking..your shoulders are going to be sore!! I wish you luck on this.


Jenny, you would be more than welcome. I like my greens beans with a bit of bacon in them too...but really any way is fine with me. We really enjoyed them last night for supper....even the dogs love them.



June, thank you for your kind words . We love reading your posts and pray that you have a wonderful day. Love hearing about your stay there,food you get and of course your sons.

I am running out of time better go get ready to meet the day.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Carol ..

I really feel for you..  Failing takes it toll
on us.... even only to undermine our confidence..
(if we are fortunate enough not to get broken). 

That free falling  flying through the air
left a  pit in my stomach that I can't seem
to overcome when away from home.

I know from experience after failing and
breaking my arm a few months ago,  that
I am no longer confident going out alone
into the streets where my walk ways are
unknown to me like they are here in my home.
(I still even walk into walls here... but very
very slowly.. :idiot2: )

That is why I am choosing to purchase
a good "Rollator" for  myself,  so  I can
venture out with more confidence.   

I hope that you heal up quickly  and can
move on beyond that "fear of falling" that
follows  those of us who have experienced
a bad one.   

Best wishes .
Sandy

Good morning everyone, a wonderful cool start to today at 54°, a taste of fall.

JANE  got caught in a sudden rain yesterday morning when I was out for a walk. Got chilled in the cold rain so made a small stew and added those beans to it, not bad at all and I warmed up after eating.

LARRY when and IF I get  an iPad I would want all the bells and whistles including a keypad and mouse. We have 1 maintenance man who is always busy. When anyone uses the community room they have the job of leaving it clean, same with the big kitchen down there.

JUNE  I no longer move furniture. I do not have strength for that anymore. I used to move my furniture all around when I was much younger, even moved my fridge across the kitchen.

JENNY  I have no room for a recliner but my couch is comfortable to sit on.

SANDY  without my rollator I would not be walking anywhere.

Time to go make my breakfast so have a great day everyone.

Hi Everyone.  It is a beautiful morning and when I went out to the mailbox it actually felt a bit chilly.  Yesterday was a beautiful day and it appears today will be the same.  I have an appointment with my cardiologist this morning and on the way back will stop at our Community Ministries Thrift Store to drop off a couple of bags of clothes from Pat and then stop at Aldi's for a couple of items as it is on the path home.  The housekeeper will be here this morning and I think we will be staying in the rest of the day.  We have leftovers in our refrigerator for a good meal this evening and then we plan on eating out tomorrow afternoon.

June, shame on you for moving furniture.  You don't need more back problems or another fall.  It nice that your doctor talked with your son while you were in the room.  You are sounding more like your normal self and I hope that means you are feeling more upbeat and in less pain. 

Carol, Pat has one of those paraffin dip units but it has been a long time since she has used it.  Glad you are feeling about over from the effects of your fall.  Pat has done some machine quilting and years ago hand quilted a beautiful white on white king size quilt that is hanging in our entryway.  I am sure she will not machine quilt anything very large ever again but will have it professionally done. 

Jane, I don't understand why a quick call cannot be made when someone has given their word.  We all can understand changing circumstances may cause us to change a plan and most people are accepting of things if they are advised that a change is necessary.  It seems to me that is terrible for business.  I was very pleased with the attention to detail by Best Buy in the delivery of the freezer this week and so indicated in a survey I did this morning. 

Jenny, good to read your smoke haze has lessened.  Nice you could enjoy the lunch with family members.  I have no relatives close except for our son and granddaughter and we are seldom seeing the granddaughter.  I sure hope your cousin in Hawaii weathers the storm well.  Are they on the main island?  Pat fixed two sweet potatoes in the Instant Pot last evening and they were great with a little butter and some cinnamon and sugar mixture. 

Amy, I hope your trip to the market is successful and you find the peaches you want.  Have you ever fixed your green beans in bacon grease or perhaps lard?  My grandmother made them and I can still recall what a great taste they had.  They were very tasty. 

Sandy, we are also enjoying less humidity and milder temperatures but understand that will end in the next day or so.  However, enjoying them while we can.  It sounds like the Rollator will be very helpful to you. Pat is still looking at the various ones but would like to actually sit in one and try it out before buying.  We do have a medical supply store nearby that we are going to check out to see if they have any on display. 

Gloria, sure hope the rainy and chilly weather don't develop into any respirator problems for you. 

Lloyd, hope you day continues to be pleasant.   


Carol

Sandy:  Thank you for your sweet and caring note.  I will try to be more vigilant when walking.  You take care too.

June:  Enjoy your new cologne. 

Jane:  Years ago, two guys working on redoing a bathroom did not show up - I called the mother of one and she called them back from a hunting trip.  I thought they needed to "grow up".   :)

Jenny:  Once upon a time, we lived east of the academy too - it was a smaller city then.  Write down all the pros and cons and that will help you. 

Gloria:  Stew and soup sounds good anytime.  Especially when you feel chilly.

Amy:  I can see a mistake in this quilt and will not take it apart - we used to say.  If you let someone look at your quilt, they have to ride by on a galloping horse.... something like that! 


June Drabek

Good Morning "dear hearts and gentle people" ! That is a song if I remember  correctly, I am so happy…..our weather is to be cloudy all day. Not that I am so fond of cloudiness, but I am so weary of sunshine.

I did take a nice walk last evening and plopped down on a glidder half-way through the walk. Said goodnight to several people who had been visiting their loved ones. Our Pastor came through, and he took my hand and we chatted for a bit. All in all, it was a lovely evening. I was out there for over and hour.

Lloyd, we too are cloudy and headed for 82 degrees. Hope you are feeling better my friend.

Larry, thank you for your kind words, my body seems to have felt no bad effects of my furniture moving. I did not try to pick up anything…..I just dragged it…but got a bit breathless,so rested in between the "drags."

Amy, your kind posts really lift me up. Thank you dear friend. I know I am better, but I also know that my body and mind are changing..I find myself saying out loud, "I'm tired God." And I am. My Gary is concerned that I am failing, so I try to re-assure him. My older son, Dan, agrees with my aging, as he is 70 now and has physical problems of his own that limits what he can do, so he understands what is going on with me.He hasn't seen me for nearly a year though, where Gary is here every other week.

My cleaning lady was here and changed the linens on my bed and in the bathroom, and she will return later to do the "deep cleaning" which includes vacuuming, scouring  appliances, disinfecting drains and dusting. When she returns I will tad my book and go to our third floor lobby and read. I feel so well cared for. Thank you God.
As long as we are here, let's dance.

I'm here to apologize for my bad mouthing of the roof guy.  He did call.  It must have been while I was out for the mail.  And I didn't check it until I was on my way to bed.  He said that the job they were on first thing in the morning ran into so problems and too, them longer than they expected.  He promised that they would be here today and assured me that I didn't need to be here.  They knew what they were going to do and would just go ahead and do it.  I don't know if they've been here or not until it rains again or they call me or I call them.  But he proved himself up to my standards. 

OK day at work.  But I'm glad I'm home.  And I'm glad I don't have to go back until Monday. 

Dinner was very good last night and there are leftovers for tonight.  I'm going to make some mashed potatoes to go with it today. 

Think I'll check to see if there are any zzzzs left on the sofa.  Enjoy the rest of your day.

Mycheal, thank you for your kind remarks. I miss you. I am doing my best to keep going, but I do tire quickly...and why not ? I am getting older.  :thumbup:

Jane, we hear of so many organizations...roofers included, that are crooked so I hope you will be home when they arrive so you will know they were there. I do not want you climbing ladders my girl.

I had a nice lazy afternoon. Had a hearty lunch downstairs, so came home, opened my book, closed my eyes and napped. Woke when the girl came in to deliver my daily vitamins, so read and napped some when she left.

I just came back from a short walk, and some time exercising my legs in the rocking recliner. Now it is time for a light supper....cottage cheese and canned fruit, then back to book and eventually bed. And so goes the day. Much to be thankful for. Hugs Love and Prayers to all of you, my dear ones. June

G'morning , This is another old Church for Amy and Gloria and anyone else who would like a little tour around the Sussex countryside, Gloria, my wife Jean, has just bought a 'Rollator' she intends to walk up to the Village Green this afternoon with 'Alfie' (our dog), I think we will make a fine sight !, Jean with her Rollator and me in my wheelchair !, never in a thousand years did I think we would celebrate our 62nd wedding anniversary
like this!, but hey, it's a brilliant sunny day and a lot cooler too, it's a great shame we are now moving the into autumn weather now, how quickly the time seems to have passed this year, I still have no recollection of my five weeks in hospital at the beginning of the year, so that probably accounts that !. lol, hope you enjoy looking around this old church.

Good morning everyone...

Slept in and now need to move it!! Will have my cuppa tea with you then get the laundry going. Grass needs to be cut again also.

Jane, I am glad you did hear back from your roofers and now the job is done, for the last time.

Lloyd, can you put the old version of Skype  back in and use it? Maybe someone else will know  …Larry??

Roley, thank you, will enjoy with my next cuppa tea. Happy Anniversary if today is the day!!

Gosh better move it.

Enjoy your day everyone..

Good morning everyone, another nice cool night for sleeping with windows open. Tonight is supposed to be te same but Monday the heat and humidity returns with a possible heat wave. Well it is still August. Yesterday was wonderful weatherwise. More people were out  on the porch or walking around than I have seen all summer.

LLOYD  Hawaii sure has not been a paradise this year between the volcano erupting and not that storm and so much rain.

LARRY  for 2 mornings now it was in the mid 50's when I got up, love that coolness. What Gloria were you speaking to yesterday about respirator problems. Must be Gloria de because I have no breathing problems. Just the damp weather makes the arthritis worse.

CAROL  wonder if we all had a problem with getting someone to fix a problem. For me where I was living I called the landlord that my kitchen sink was plugged up. Had a problem since I moved into that apartment. I kept calling him and he kept saying he would be there. Last time I called his wife answered the phone and I told her I had been doing my dishes in the bathroom sink. He was there the next day. Mistakes? I knitted a fisherman sweater for my daughter with all the cables. Took a long time but I was very careful. When it was finished and I blocked it I saw a mistake in one of the cables near the waistband but I was not going to take the whole thing apart. She did not notice it till I told her where to look.

JUNE  when my daughter first moved to San Diego in one of her letters she said she never thought she would be tired of sunshine but would love to see some rain.

JANE  you will know when you get the bill if the roofers were there or next time it rains.

PETER  I did like that  90 mile walk. You and your wife are so lucky to be celebrating 62 years of marriage. Not many make it to 50. Will watch the link when I finish here. Thank you for all the traveling you do for us.

LLOYD  we are in for a repete of yesterday here and that was about perfect for me. I am having a problem with the Skype update, too different from what I was used to.

AMY  you only slept late because you needed that sleep.

Have a good day everyone.
