Where's Shirley?  Nothing since 2/1/23

We got a lot accomplished today as well, Jane.  Cooler tomorrow but pretty nice for the next week except I think Wed. night. The birds are acting "frisky".... Who was it, what show did someone say that when the hanky-panky was in the air?

Jenny, safe and fun vacation. Smooth sailing.

Amy, you do amaze me with all you get done! Did I ask you if you take all the dirt out of the trug every year?  Something chewed off the liner to the level of dirt. I only got a few bags of lettuce the whole summer and not a single tomato to eat.  Shared my lettuce, endive & spinash with son & his wife and one neighbor. I do love a wilted salad like my grandmother made. Mouth watering....I have not been out to check but the surprise lilies may be out of the ground IF they made it through the fall drought. My sprinkler system didn't work in that area so had a big Cleveland pear tree cut down that roots got into the control box. It was planted too near all the power/phone/etc. lines so had to go. I do have a couple packages of seed I bought last fall in hopes of an early planting. Afraid we will lose a lot of shrubs this year with a freeze back. Always have to wait & see. 

Patricia, so sad they cut the trees down, I can't imagine not being able to watch them come & go. We have a different little black & white bird that flits so fast I can't get a photo of to check my bird books, at least 2 of them. Not our regular snowbirds & chickadees.

Oops, you slipped in, Lloyd! I still have my car but put the title with my daughter's name on as well. I haven't driven for a couple weeks because my legs are so full of fluid the knees hardly bend. You have had super service from the VA. I  have Medicare and Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Kansas. It covers every penny of my health care but very expensive. It sure doesn't offer all the extra toys you get from the VA. Sorry you got a witch today, they show up now & then. I do not have the medicine part since I don't take meds.

Hey, Bubble, did it really snow in Israel? We only had that "dusting" one time so do need moisture.

Haha, Rick, you sound like my youngest son, have a solution for any problem that usually consists of waiting until tomorrow! I check in every day but busy with all those phone calls to figure how to die. Somebody needs to write a book of where to find all the info in language plain & simple! So far no pain & still in control.

Heading to bed, sweet dreams and God Bless.  Love y'all.  Tisie/Shirley 

Shirley, --- Thanks for the post.  Sorry I had no answers for your computer questions.You have different stuff than I. Also, I haven't been keeping up, and forgot lots.

Good morning..

Starting off at 10°F and in some areas to the south of us they are calling for rain...that means we get snow. Oh well one day closer to Spring.

Yesterday was a long busy but fun day. While Kyle was getting his hearing checked Bri and I sat in the vehicle and gabbed.Then off to have lunch only to find the restaurant was closed on Mon   So off to Swiss Chalet it was to have chicken.

Today is work around home and  vacuum seal some meat we bought yesterday. One prime rib steak will not see the inside of the freezer though. 

Lloyd, there does come a time to let others do the driving.My friend is 83 and doesn't care if she does drive anymore. Driving used to be enjoyable but now people are too busy on phones, talking or texting and riving like a bat out of you know where!!

Jane, I just thought Patricia would like more snow......she didn't get a lot there and as you know we have more than enough to share.

Patricia, post marked return to send  = I don't pay postage ..

Rick...now what do you want.......move or fast...take one or the other, as they don't partner well with me.  I do agree with the theory and if anyone wants to do it ,please do.

Shirley, no I don't take the soil out. Whoever coined the phrase dirt cheap obviously  didn't buy dirt!! I do mix in manure, not too much or you will burn the plants. Now I have to ask what is wilted salad?  You will still have liner below the dirt so you will be fine. One of my covers layed down with the weight of the snow but it is an easy fix...so I am told by my husband.

I had better try a meet the day...going to the city always tuckers me out.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I slept pretty well last night with a couple trips next door and then right back to sleep.  I feel like I might be up and attem.  I've done two jobs already this morning and my next one is to get a shower and get ready to go!

Cathy has a lawyer in the married in side of her family and she made us an appointment to check out what I have to do before I toss in the towel.  I don't know what's going to happen.  I asked her if there was anything I needed to take with me and she said, "If you have any questions, bring them".  I don't even know what questions to ask!  I guess I'll just play it by ear and I hope he talks loud enough!

I'm off to the showers.  Have a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

?

Rick.....I can move....but do you want fast also? My speed lately will be out run by a turtle.   Remember the days when we would/could run like the wind.

Amy, --- My mind is drawing a blank. For whatever reason I have no idea what this is about. But moving on to running like a deer and jumping like a kangaroo, - yes I remember those days ---- but long gone and only a vague memory. Now it mostly turtle moves.

Eureka --- I've found it.  It was the snow.  It must have melted. Someone must have been moving it fast.

Good morning, zero degrees this morning and a possibility of that elusive snow. We're forecast a snowstorm at seven am this morning. At 6:51 am, clear skies and no sign of any snow.

The next snowstorm forecast is for Wednesday morning, yet otherwise, Wednesday's forecast is for clear and sunny. Someone somewhere hasn't got a clue. You don't have to worry about paying postage Amy, that package has gone astray!

I went out with friends yesterday and came home with two small plants. We wandered around the stores looking for a gift for one's newest great-grandson born February first. I believe the proud great-grandmother bought out most of the store. She would have gone further but we all pled fatigue! I took a nap when I got home!

We knew something was amiss when the traffic was louder than normal, birds dashed in to eat and disappeared quick. Blue jays,chickadees and two doves got their fill before the rain/freezing rain pounded on them!

Went next door and gave Rex his pedicure   now all three dogs are set for another two weeks.

LOL Patricia, when I was at the neighbours he even said he didn't want to see anymore snow.  I am listening to the sound of the freezing rain hit the window and side of the house. I hear you on the fatigue, trouble is some stores are so big now you need to take a lunch with you to see all that is in them.

A college friend got frustrated with my trying to keep up with her and told me I even hurried slow!!!!!

After several "productive" days, I'm not even trying today.  It's cold, wet and gloomy - and I didn't wake up until 9:00 a.m.   
[/s]

Callie, love that "hurried slow" fits me to a t after a trip to the city or a busy day at home. Now that will be my excuse from now on.

I saw Cathy taking notes at the meeting with her lawyer relative so I hope she's going to write it up and give me a copy.  I've been going through papers and I've found more recipes than anything else.  I'd have to live to be 140 and make one recipe a day to use up all the recipes I've collected!  Maybe even longer!

PATRICIA, keep watching!  That snow will come along when you least expect it....and when you want it least!

I'm going to just sit around and MAYBE go through some more papers tonight.  You note, I said MAYBE!  If it wasn't for paper, my house would be pretty neat!  Bye for now!

Well, the forecasters' plan for snow today went awry. Jane, we'll see what happens Wednesday. It's not the snow so much as it's something to cover the ice and provide traction! The city crews have been working on the roads, perhaps that will help.

Amy, the baby departments of various stores are full of what every "parent must have" and at prices, most parents don't have, and none of it was familiar to us. That little guy will have everything with his parents, two sets of grandparents, two sets of great-grandparents, plus siblings, and various other shirttail relatives and friends.

When I was a child, most of my friends were lucky to have grandparents let alone great grandparents that were still mobile!

Callie, I have always loved how you can turn a phrase and yes that one will be borrowed too!

Good Morning everyone. it is 33º and clody here. I Hope you all have a good day just like you like it.

Lloyd

Good morning...

There seems to be more rain/freezing rain to come tomorrow. I noticed the dogs slipping when I let them out, so will sand a walking area for them.


Working around home and sewing today.....works for me.

Patricia, how are Dora and Allan doing?

Shirley, I keep the peelings from the kitchen and will also dig that into the soil come Spring.

Jane,  hope you got to put your feet up and rest .Doing paper work can be as tiring as physical work.

Enjoy your day and stay safe./b]

Good late morning, I've started several chores early this morning so I'm late getting here. The forecasters said that elusive snow would start overnight and end about noon. It's plus one and we do have snow. Snow that dances and floats lazily about in large flakes. The sidewalks that were cleared three days ago, remain cleared so no real accumulation.

Amy, they're both on oxygen and bedridden. They can't have visitors other than their son and he reports they're depressed and worried about costs, their animals, and selling a place they've lived since the early sixties. Their son says they have trouble communicating, so he gave the admin a certified copy of their living will which states he and his sister are co-powers of attorney in case of need. It's not a good time.

Goodnight an sweet dreams, Hope to see you all tomorow.

Lloyd

I've been sifting and sorting papers that have accumulated in my office, In the living room and all over the house.  I still have a long way to go!  I really do dislike paper work but it sure is nice to see empty spaces.  Tomorrow I'm working on recipes that I've printed off the computer over the years.  I hope they will be organized so it doesn't take me half a day to find the one I want to use.  I know I have some doubles and by tomorrow night, that should not be an issue.

Cooper and I took two LOOOOOONG walks today and it felt good!  The temps got up into the low 50s today and it was a gorgeous day!  We both loved being outside in that beautiful weather.  He'll be here tomorrow and it's supposed to be a bit rainy and cloudy all day tomorrow.  We'll have to watch the weather and take our walks when the rain stops!

Now I'm off to the haystack!  I'm not bone weary but I am brain weary!  I really don't like paper work.  And Cathy and I did a trip to WM.  I got a haircut, some new glasses, a cushion for the dining chair where I do a lot of reading and paper work, and stocked up on milk and coffee cream and some odds and ends.  I also bought some notebooks for the recipes that I plan to organize tomorrow. 

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!

good Morning everyone.well the weather gusser is saying 33F and mostely cloudy here this morning it is too dark for me to see out but I do not see any stars so I guess he/she is corect. well as i did not have enough pills to take they put one more on my list, it is makgnisem, well it must been corect it has taken care of my head aces for the most part. have agood day. well i went to va yesterday seean a feamale nurce, she told that my docter at va has quit and went into privet practes.

If grandeaughter and her husband had not bout these duelplex,s we would be homeless. am sure god will take care if it. but I doubt I will see it happen. no matter I am ready to go home at gods speead and time.

Lloyd

Good morning..

Not going to be nice today, rain and freezing rain is to visit. I picked up extras at the grocery store so we are fine.

Not a lot going on here work around home then sew.

Patricia, that is sad, both of then worked so hard to get their place up and going and now can't go home.If houses are selling as fast as they are here it won't take long for the son to sell it. Hopefully others will take or buy the animals.

Better get going.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

I wrote this earlier and forgot to post it.  It just hung around waiting so new or old news, here it is.....Good Morning to those who have already checked in and to those who will check in later.  I was by earlier but since I was the last poster, I chose not to talk to myself.  I do enough of that around the house.

Cooper came over and we had our first walk and when I finish here, we'll have our second one and bring in the mail when we come.

I made a head of cauliflower over a new recipe and it was delicious.  I ate the whole head for my lunch.  Now I must say, it was a small head and it shrunk a bit while baking!!  I'm feeling very comfortable...not overfed!

I'm going through all the recipes I have copied and trying to get some sort of order out of them.  I don't think there is an order!

We're having another nice day here.  The sun is shining and the temp is up to 47º heading for a high of 55º!  I'll take it!

LLOYD, I'm so glad you're finally feeling better!

I have made arrangements with my OKLA daughter to be picked up and transported to her part of the country in the middle of April.  I'm gonna get to hold the new baby!!!!

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

We did get rain and lots of it, now to get some snow on that to stick and cover up the ice!!

Jane, talked with young pup..aka Daivd and he was in Bradford ...he also phoned yesterday from Picture Rocks I think he said. Boy I am learning all about PA 

No Patricia???

Time to call it a night, if we get the snow that is predicted there will be a dance tomorrow.

edited to add.....just saw Patricia in the Card Shoppe..

If David went from Picture Rocks to Bradford (or Bradford to Picture Rocks) He went through Williamsport which is about 20 miles from where I live.  I thought I heard someone whistle and saw someone wave!

I got a lot of sorting done and and took out a rice pudding recipe that could be made in the crock pot and put it to cooking.  I had a dish of it with my supper and it's pretty good.  I'll be eating it for a while and maybe freezing a bit of it for later.  Tomorrow I'll still be sorting recipes and I'm going to cook some salmon   (Honey-garlic Glazed Salmon) for my supper.  It sounds pretty good and I'll have a baked potato with it!

Now I'm going to finish up some chores and then hit the haystack.  Cooper will be arriving a little before 8 tomorrow and we'll get our walks in and some love time!

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!

Good morning..

We are getting a mixture of snow and rain...not a lot but enough to make it messy out there.

Chores around home will do the hours away and maybe sew. Bread and chelsea buns were made yesterday ,so no sew.

Jane, your supper for tonight sounds delicous!!

Lloyd, good they found a relief to your headaches and if it is just taking a wee pill it is well worth it!!

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I'm off to get myself dressed before Cooper's arrival.  I also have to mix up his food.  When Frankie is in a hurry in the morning she almost never makes up his food or feeds him before he comes here.

It's supposed to be another warm one today!  I take it!  Spring can't come too soon to suit me!

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

Jane, when you get a chance, post the Rice Pudding in a Crockpot recipe.  I love rice pudding, and that would be a good way to make up a bunch of it.

Well, darn it!  I had my message all finished and it disappeared! 

Tomereader, when I'm finished here, I'll head over to recipes and post the one for rice pudding in the crockpot.  It was very good but it sure did make a lot.  I made myself a note to cut the recipe in half the next time I make it. 

I've forgotten what else I said on the other message and I don't see a "post" on the one so I'll see what happens.  It's been a good day.  Let's hope tomorrow is a good one, too!
