Lloyd

Good morning, Amy, Jane, and Lloyd! It's been back in the rain clouds for us here in the Interior, with only 57 presently and later 73.

I have nothing scheduled except for some phone calls and waiting for a couple of packages. It has been so long since I've dealt with regular mail; how long does flat rate take these days? I've been down to the office so often that the guys tell me no before I can say a word.


Jane, you and Amy have been busy this summer, while I've rarely been to each of the local farmer's markets. I need a new energy source!

Thoroughly enjoyed today,had a good time catching up with our friends.While he worked on the van she and I played catch up on the past.

Jane, I have yet to jar the cucumbers, just two more days to go.

Patracia, I think Jane will agree that when you can /bottle all the produce from garden or markets it tastes better than store bought.

Weather is about to get nasty with a storm  but we shall see, need the rain but not the music and light show.

Amy, we no longer have the ethnic stores and groceries I so love and don't think they'll return. I agree about canned/bottled garden foods.

I barter for game meat which arrives frozen double wrapped in the white paper; moose, mountain goat, Dall sheep, partridge, bear, and hare. I also receive halibut, king crab, rainbow trout, grayling, sheefish, and salmon. It's all cleaned up, sectioned, and frozen but not preserved or canned.

I make my own sauces, dressings, condiments, and yougart.

To my mother's dismay, I never learned to can and did mainly meal prep and preserving. Now I don't do that. For one person, it wasn't realistic. But what you and Jane do has my stomach trying to talk my brain into it.

The corn we got the other day from Davy's was fresh-picked that morning and it was so good!  I did have to eat some.  And I guess I talked about it so much that my daughter went back and got a couple dozen for herself and did the cutting and freezing.  I know she'll enjoy it "when the snow flies"!

I didn't get a whole lot done today because Frankie just started some new medecine and it reacted on her so badly that they sent her home from work.  She didn't go home. She came here and was here the rest of the day!  I made some chicken noodle soup while she was here and we both ate it.  Turned out pretty good!

Then when she left, I did a little laundry and made my supper!  Almost forgot...she was here when I came home from breakfast with some of my former high school classmates.  That was a nice start for an otherwise down day! 

Now I'm off to the haystack!  I wish Everyfriend a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow!  And may God bless us, every one!

Where's SHIRLEY!

Good morning..

Well so much for rain! Not enough to put in a thimlbe. Guess it will be watering the garden tonight.

Kyle needs ot pick up lumber and we have a few things to do in town then home.I just have three borders to put on this quilt and it is done, then I can move onto another one.

Patricia, I am going to look up grayling and sheefish.I would say you have a good menu there with the meat and seafood.My Mom pickled but didn't can, she would sit for hours and peel the tiny onions to make pickled onions but not me!

Jane, hope Frankie is feeling better today..

Better scoot.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning AMY and anyone else who shows up today!  Cooper is here...he had his breakfast and we took a walk.

Later, after her Dr. appt. Cathy will be picking me up to go grocery shopping!  I think we're going to the Amish store unless she changes her mind.  I have a LIST!  I also need a haircut sometime soon but that involves a trip to WM.  I still get my discount in their shop so that's where I go!

AMY, you're so BUSY!

I wish everyfriend a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Like amy said good morning  JaneS and amy good morning to you ladies and anyone else that show up.It Is  64º now and sun is shining very bright. I am wishing you ladies a great day, I have a appointment with docter at va in the hearing deppartment to get hearing checked to see about getting new better hearing aids. hope they come up with some that work better. see you all Later.

Lloyd

I needed a laugh today.....maybe you do, too.

"Whenever you feel sad...

It helps to picture that somewhere in this world, there's a fool pulling on a door that says "PUSH"!"

Take care, All.

Good morning, another cloudy, filled with rain periods type of day. This weather is generally Interior August weather. If the old norms hold out, September will be cool but beautiful, and October will see the fall colors and leaf fall. Halloween should bring the first snow. Of course, nothing is generally expected, as we've seen over the past three years.

Amy, I certainly miss several of the foods I used to eat with impunity, especially indulging in chocolate and dairy. However, I don't miss the past hospital visits and not knowing why my body was suddenly turning on me.

I eat as our parents and grandparents did before all this convenience arrived. And I'm lucky to live in a farming community that hunts and fishes. It wouldn't be as adaptable in a large modern city. I'm told that chemical allergies are now the fastest growing in our modern society, increasing the most in infants and children.

Well, I can't get out of sleep mode & just got up for the 2nd time today. Even Fitbit is giving up on keeping track of my bedtime. I zonk out for several hours and wake up starved, like I am drugged. Not getting things done around here and since my doctor/doctors don't seem interested if finding what the problem is (only want to talk about putting the TAVR in and I don't want that).... so the kids want to pack me up for tests at Mayo... what I need is Miracle Whip, yes, I do.  That's the way it is. Feels hot out this afternoon, slept through the good hours this morning. Dumb-dumb..... lots of jobs waiting so better shake a leg or one of those Amy sayings.  Behave yourselves. Phyll, I copied your giggle, SO TRUE and it's usually ME that didn't read the sign~~~

Good Night Everyfriend!  I'm heading for the haystack!  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow.  And may God bless us every one!

And I'm going off with a chuckle....thanks Phyllis!

I've done nothing but sleep & eat today but am too sleepy to start the laundry so will go back to bed. Tomorrow is another day & maybe I can do better, actually, I think I am getting lazy.

Wishing all a fantastic day tomorrow, I think we all are in need of a play-day. Hugs all around, God Bless and happy dreams.  Shirley

Good morning...

Still no rain .. Finally finished the quilt top and not without frustration but it is done. Now to move on to another.
Picking up a few things in town then home to work about then can the icicle pickles.
Kyle made a "get up stool" for the neighbour,she also has a problem reaching the bottom of the washing machine and she is shorter than I am.

Jane, we will soon be able to slow down...after all the canning is done.

Patricia, I could live on sea food. Just not naked shrimp, batter them and I am good. When we went ot school we never heard of peanut allergy and a lot of kids had peanut butter sandwiches.

Phyliss, I have watched many do that and have to admit I am one if I don't see the sign in time.

Shirley, get yourself checked out. You being sleepy all the time is not good. Rattle that Drs door and make him listen to you.

Lloyd, it does take time and patience getting used to the hearing aids.Klye wears them and we have many a conversation that he think I said something else and I didn't. We do get good laughs over that.

Jenny, how are you doing?

Better move.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  Cooper is here. He's had his breakfast and he's ready for his walk.  I'm not dressed yet so this will be short.

I had one of "Jim's Egg Thingys" for breakfast and it was filling and good and I'm ready to go!  It's foggy as heck out there and the temp is in the mid 50s heading for a high of 88 later today!  It kind of sounds like Autumn! 

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow.  Hey JENNY!  Are you ok!

Quote from: Amy on August 19, 2022, 06:57:49 AMShirley, get yourself checked out. You being sleepy all the time is not good. Rattle that Drs door and make him listen to you.

I agree - Do it now.

Good Morning to you RAMMEL, you are evening slower getting in than I was getting getting in this morning., AMY this set of hearing aids comming is my fith set . I hive had them for severial years. this morning is clear not a cloud in sight.

Lloyd

Lloyd, then you are aware of the problems with them. They are a blessing to those with hearing problems, Kyle has worn them a long time. His hearing was comprimised due to loud machinery.

Amy, you can have ours, another cloudy, full day of rain, and these old bones are squeaking.

This is river country, and fish and fishing are a big part of that.

Sheefish are known as the tarpon of the north. "A Sheefish (Inconnu meaning unknown fish in native Inuit) is the largest member of the whitefish family. Sheefish are silver or white and have really large scales with no visible markings or spots. In the Kobuk and Selawik rivers of northwest Alaska, Sheefish can get BIG I am talking 60+ lb and up-to and beyond 42 inches in length."

Grayling, "This species has dark-colored silvery scales and an elongated torpedo-shaped body. It has a tall, sail-like dorsal fin on its back which often has red or purple hues. Its tail fin is forked in shape as well. The largest adults reach up to 24 in. long and weigh up to 15 lbs. They're similar to brown trout, and both can be found in the same waters."

Shirley, I agree; you need to get that checked out.

Patricia, I did look them up and they are huge!! Tasty too by the sounds of it...sure would fill a freezer fast! I think I would be filling  mine with these as theysaid it texture like halibut and a reminiscent of both crab and lobster.That works for me

well I am a little earler tonight. we have had a good day.the great grands and deaughter have gone home, untill next wensday, then they plan on staying the weakend again, it shure is nice haveng them around.our deaughter and grand deaughter are both teacher qualafyed. our deaughter is home schooling them .too much fault that we have no controle on. ( exampel) a incedent in the holden school, a little girl would go into the boy s bathroom and they cant do anything about it we have too many laws that we can not keep in cintrole of. another thing I can not reamber how to coppie a pictuer and show it here in S & f 's. good night and sweet dreams.

Lloyd

Good morning..

Cool here this morning but it is going to race to the 90's, so work will get
 done early.
Going over to the farm to see about cucumbers, peaches and potatoes first then laundry will be done.

Yesterday I got a good laugh, thought I would go see the hens and they came running to the fence. I told them I didn't bring anything (food,grass) and it sounded as if one hen said awwwwwwwwwww. Can hear the rooster crowing now.

Better get ready  to meet the day.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  It looks like not much going on in here.  I went to sleep on the couch last night and then I just got up and hit the haystack without doing much of anything else.  I guess I was pretty tired last night!

I wonder if the other forums have any more activity than this one does.  I really like the people  who post here and I'd miss them if they left but our numbers are going down lower and lower.

It's very cool here this morning but heading for a high in the 80s again.  It sure does sound like Autumn is in the air!  Not sure I want all those leaves but I am glad to see the day-long heat go by!

Patricia, my opening picture on my computer today was Denali National Park.  Because it was Alaska, I thought of you!

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

 JaneS I fiend the same thing not many posting or answering a post either. I do not know about other forms this S & F is the onley one I know about. also I do not reamber well as I am shure I have said before, all those head knocks in o 14 teen. I went to VA yesterday and they gave us a forimila to mix and wash ears out with. hope it dose the trick and hlps my hearing. Nancy just called come eat morning meal it is ready, see you all later.

Lloyd

Good morning, another cool, rainy day and a busy weekend ahead. Jane, Denali is 125 miles from me. I can look at the foothills and see the helicopters flying tourists over the range. Here's a news tidbit, Everest is the tallest mountain in the world due to Tibet's already higher elevation. If you put Denali and Everest next to each other on a flat surface, Denali would be taller.

Next week is another bad one. We received notices clipped to our doors late Friday afternoon that stated, "Our maintenance teams will be entering apartments to follow up on the work order inspections completed previously. This will take place on Tuesday through Thursday between 8:30 AM and 4:30 pm." I can only hope they start on the fifth floor rather than the first floor.

Then a rather ominous note, "For preventive purposes, a pest control company will be conducting building-wide apartment inspections. They will need access to your entire apartment and sleeping areas. This will take place on Monday and Tuesday from 10 am -2 pm. This inspection is required and "please do not hire cleaners to clean in your apartment prior to inspection." The last quotes are mine.

Checking in, really been moving slow around here but don't know who to tackle next. Primary doctor wasn't at all interested in any solution to my problem other than what the cardio wants and that is to put the TAVR in, about as dumb as doing heart surgery because I have a runny nose. Basically all are in the same mode so never disagree what the others dictate. I just don't play nice when they bully. Sorry, I sound like a broken record these days.

Did get a couple loads of laundry done & 2 more to go without taking sheets off or digging things out.  Went to the Farmer's Market but NO tomatoes around here, not even ones brought in!  Went to the store this afternoon and bought a couple that at least smelled like tomatoes. Better move or I'll fall asleep again. Sweet dreams & God Bless!

 

Another Blah day!  SHIRLEY, I don't know what all that medical stuff means to you but maybe they run together.   I know that when the nerve in my back gets pinched, I can have pain in my foot and it's coming from my back.  Maybe you could check a bit closer.  Just a thought... Don't mind me if you don't want to!  I just care about YOU!

I made a good dinner today because I thought Frankie was staying but she didn't.  And I don't have a ride to church tomorrow so....Darn it! 

I'm off to the haystack a tad early tonight.  I got used to doing that down at Cindy's and I'm working my way out of it a little at a time!  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow!  And may God bless us, every one!

Good Morning everyone, patricia19 your time is saying Today at 09:21:42 AM
Good morni, what is your tine zone? ourse is centrial/ daylight saveings.

Lloyd

Good morning..

No chance of sleeping in here when, loons start calling across the lake, then crow hollers and Jays squalk.

A day of rest here...thank goodness.May start another quilt. My friend stopped in yesterday and left 3 yards of fabric that would be good for a couple of kids canceer quilts so.get the thinking cap on and see how to best use this along with other material to make them.

Patricia, do they do this inspection yearly? I guess in some cases it is needed to make sure everything is in order.

Jane, now you have some meals for another day......no cooking..bonus!!

Shirley, my thought when you're sleeping a lot was diabetis. My Mom slept and was thirsty all the time.

Good morning Lloyd .

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

I'm up and I do have a ride to church so I'm having my coffee and then a shower and getting dressed.  When Frankie drops off Cooper, he'll wonder whrere I am.  I'm just checking in before I get a shower and get dressed and ready to go

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