Good Morning dear hearts, I have been down for today's Bible Study class. We had Jeff today, and he is such a nice young man, and sure makes Bible study easier.
Soon I will be going down for lunch at our small dining room on the first floor.I will start off the menu with a cup of hot chicken soup.

Our temps for the day are 63/43 degrees. My kind of weather. But rain is still so needed.

Carol I could not ask for a finer place to spend the rest of my days. my son made a perfect choice.

Larry, I was always good at spelling too ..my favorite subject in grade school, but I am finding my mind needs more help now, and of course there is always something new to learn in all areas of life.

I need to do some letter replies to good friends. I am ashamed I have neglected this so long. Now I am off to the dining room.

All packed and ready to go.  Love is in the air and by this time tomorrow  I'll be in the air as well. Israel, here I come!

Have a safe trip, Don, and have a good visit.  I know your visit will be for a few months and I know you'll enjoy it.  Give Bubble our love. 

Mary Ann

Good evening, been a Spring like day, To day was the warmest Feb. on record.

Jenny, I know just what you mean, about worrying about our children. I always make the trip mentally with them, Then I go in a panic if I do not hear they arrived, when I think they should. My grandson forgets to call till after they are home a few hours. My granddaughter calls right aways.
I started to use a rollator after I came home from the hospital in Sept. I call it my push mobile. I can go shopping and just put things in the basket, then my nephew come along with  the shopping cart and gathers up my collection, I can also stop and rest in and aile that is not busy.

June and Larry I failed spelling all through school. Later they figured I spelt the way I heard  the word., cause of my bad hearing.

jane, hope you got a good cash register to help you through the day.


Amy your sandwich sounded so good. I got lobster bisque while we were grocery shopping today they have a nice hot soup bar in King Kullen

Don, God be with you as you travel my friend, and give Bubble a happy hug from me. I am so grateful for all she does. Enjoy every minute of your time together. June

Gloria de, I can understand how a hearing problem would cause a problem. My hearing is much poorer now, but one on one I'm O.K., in a crowd I do poorly.

It is past supper time, but I am not hungry. I may have a sliced banana on cold cereal. I had an upset stomach after lunch for some reason so a light supper is the way to go. If I don't get back to say goodnight,let me wish you a blessed,peaceful sleep now. Love and Prayers always and forever. June

good Night everyone, time to bid you all sweet dreams. hope to see you all tomorrow. they are calling for more ice and snow for us tonight and tomorrow.

Lloyd

Good night Everyfriend!  I'll be off to Dreamland in a few minutes!  I wish you all God's love and a peaceful rest.  And DON, I wish you a safe journey and a lovely visit.

Seems you ALL had a good day.....we did too.  Sunny all day and beautiful with all the glistening snow on the ground! However it remained COLD all day.

Watching the Olympics....I love watching the coverage but I must say I am getting ready for it to be over!

SHIRLEY, I have asked Joe to give us an update on how Joan is doing, but sadly I have not had any response from him.  Maybe someone else has a better way to contact him to ask for a address where we could send cards. I have sent a few “penguin” things to Joan’s email with no response, and I know Jackie has as well, so I am afraid she is not being active on line. 😩😢

Safe travels tomorrow, Don.  Godspeed. 

Have a good night of rest and sweet dreams to all.

Jenny

Good morning everyone, had a wonderful time at my son's home yesterday. My DIL cut my hair and  she does a good job. Of course I enjoy her and my son's company but the best part was my great grandson. My son told me that when my grandson brought him in the morning he asked for great grandma but I was not there yet. He was my sidekick while I was there. Funny how he remembers me because he does not see me that often. I was worn out when I got home. Don't get away from home that much and I sure know it. I turned the PC on when I got home and it was almost time for Skype and my daughter. After our more than hour chat I got ready for bed and think I was sound asleep by 7:30. I feel like a baby who goes to sleep that early but here I am now wide awake at 3am and having my coffee with my cyber family.

JANE  glad you had the express register for a change.

JUNE  62° here at this time of year feels like a spring day. We were almost up to 70° yesterday and it was wonderful.

JENNY  we sure do worry when our kids are on the road traveling. Glad they arrived at their new home safe and sound. After our brief warm spell the fore casters yesterday said we would be 25 degrees colder today. Except for the piles left by plows all our snow is gone. Those who never came into the SS and read how we care will ever understand how we worry about each other. They probably think we are like a bunch of kids. Some day they will get to be our age and I hope they find a place like S&F. I bought my rollator almost 8 years ago and now more than ever I do rely on it and am so happy I have it.

LLOYD  after the hard work  you have done all your life you deserve to be a couch jockey.

AMY  I would love seeing birds from my windows again. The witch does not want any feeders in the front of the building anymore. Once again I wish my apartment was in the back of the building with trees and birds, wild turkey and an occasional deer walking through, much better that seeing a parking lot.

LARRY  I know how hard it is to stand and prepare and cook food so I understand how Pat feels. At times it is so frustrating to me. I do not care for prepared/frozen meals with all the additives in them. But putting one in the microwave is the only way I can eat some days. I do try and get outside every day to walk around and get fresh air. Some days I can walk more than others and some days I get to the end of the walk and turn around and sit on the porch before I head back up here. I have been thinking of looking into a better button what will go anywhere. What I have is useless as I try to get out of the apartment as much as I can. I would go bonkers if I could not have the freedom to get out. Main reason why I moved here from last apartment at my son's house. Could not do the stairs anymore unless someone was with me.

LLOYD  we seldom get wind from the northeast and when we do it is a storm coming from the Atlantic ocean with strong winds with wither rain when it is warm or show in the winter.

AMY  soup and sandwich is a great meal anytime.

SHIRLEY  I would love to send JOAN some cards. I would trust one of my CNAs to have good taste in getting me some cards. I have had the salad and half sandwich at a Panera a few times. Very tasty.
The lady in the apartment next to me has a son who owns one of them. If I knew hi better I would ask him to bring me a bear claw next time he visits and I will pay him for it. Best ones from there I ever had.

CAROL  my daughter was telling me yesterday that a new bakery was set to open in Kingman and will have a lunch counter too. She is looking forward to it since now getting into town 5 days a week for the radiation treatments they could stop for lunch before the trip home.

DON  I wish you a safe trip to Bubble. Now it is counting the hours, not days or weeks.

GLORIA de  we broke a record for yesterday, too. Was set back in 1930. It was 68° and the weather guessers predicted 70°.

Have a wonderful day.

A Mother's Prayer
(Author Unknown)

"Precious Heavenly Father,

Give me patience when little hands
   tug at me with their many demands.

Give me gentle hugging arms
   to help protect them from rebellions harm.

Give me wisdom from above
   to teach these little ones of Your love.

Give me strength, Your love not to spare
   that they may obey and live under Your care.

Give me a spirit . . . quiet and meek
   let my words show kindness as I speak.

Give me the ability to teach from the heart
   to help my children learn Your Word from the start.

Give me the words You'd have me say
   to teach my children how to pray.

Give me time, special moments to share
   that they may know, "Mommy really does care."

Give me hands that work willingly
   a steadfast example that I may be.

Give me courage to stand in Your might
   to teach my little ones to always do right.

Give me boldness to do all these and more
   that I may not be ashamed when I stand at Your door.

Thank You Father,

In Jesus Name I pray,

Amen."

I enjoy most of you people most of the time,not ready to leave this world yet un less god is ready to put up with me there.

Lloyd

Good morning everyone...

No rain this morning.. too dark out to see if the puddles of water got away yet. Neighbour is coming over to clean the chimneys this morning for us, both rooves are bare.


I am so trying to get another quilt finished so I can take it with me tomorrow, I should know better than to make me rush but I am going to try. I phoned the cardiologist and she said this is a normal bp for hubby..that if he is feeling alright then all is well.

Shirley, thank you for the heads up on Panera, I noticed we do have one in the city but we have not been there. Know that I know one can get half orders ,we may stop for lunch. I would love to send Joan cards if anyone can get her address please.

Gloria, I hope you get rid of the witch, and I hope when her time comes to live in such a place it is run by someone worse than she is. Got to love KARMA. I too am enjoying your "tidbits: thank you for sharing them.

Don, safe travels and give Bubble a hug for us and thank her for all the help she gives each one of us please..

Gloria de, your soup also sounds delicious!! I also like clam chowder too.

Lloyd, hope you can get your machine fixed before tonight!!That would be scary not being able to breath.

Jane, we have a temp of 34° F this morning so any water is now ice..no fun walking.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  AMY, the temp here right now is 37º and that's OK because we also have your rain.  It's supposed to rain all day and the temp will stay in the high 30s so no freezing....just lots of mud for the dogs to track in!

I have no plans for today except maybe to bake some cookies.  I'm not sure if I'll be picking up Kiran or not.  They just changed her piano lesson to Thursdays.  I have to find out what time it is and if I'm picking her up and her mother will get her here or what's going on.

I think I'll go and get dressed before the boinger goes off to feed the doggies.  Enjoy your day Everyfriend!

Hi Everyone.  We are expecting another beautiful day here up into the 80's again as we had yesterday.  I have a pretty busy morning planned as will stop on my way to pick up my friend for coffee at a hardware store and buy a couple of light bulbs that are needed for the light panel in our bathroom.  Then we will go to coffee, stopping by the Fed EX store to send back the back massager that Pat had gotten last month as it doesn't seem to be working correctly.  After coffee I will bring my friend home.  From there I plan on going back downtown to the Church and attend the Wisdom Group.  This will be my first time attending in a month.  Finally on the way home I will stop by Walmart to pick up a grocery order Pat placed on line yesterday.  We did enjoy the dinner at Church last evening as had meat loaf, mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, biscuit, salad and a small piece of dessert.  Our granddaughter seemed to be the happiest we have probably seen her since she moved.  Her knee is heeling nicely and she said the PT is helping and she is now experiencing little pain. 

Lloyd, my wife's sister sent us a picture of the ice on the trees in Independence, Missouri.  Ice can sure do a lot of damage.  Do your cows have a place where they can get under a shelter?  I would also be concerned if my CPAP machine stopped working.  Neither my wife nor I have any problems like that. 

Amy, it is hard to beat any place that serves homemade bread.  I always enjoy going to Panera's restaurants as they always bake their bread and it is so good.  They also have some great pastries.  I also like the Costco French bread but can't buy it often as it comes in a two large loaf package and I just eat too much of it.  I especially like the crusty end pieces. 

Shirley, I haven't heard of a card years in many years.  It sounds like you are keeping busy as well. 

Carol, I have had the Panera soup in a bread bowl and would eat the soup and get to the good part the bread bowl.  As I recall it also came with another little crusty French roll.  We noticed yesterday evening on the way to the Church that many bushes have started blooming here and more will follow with these days of 80 degree weather. 

June, nice to read that you were up to attending the Bible Study class and then go to the dining room for lunch.  While I can spell I do seem to make a lot of typing errors like doubling letters that I don't even realize I am doing.  I am really glad that most programs on the computer use the spell check and underline in red if the word isn't correct. 

Don, I hope you have a wonderful trip today and it isn't too tiring.   I expect Bubble is counting the hours until you arrive. 

deAngel, we will be getting Pat a rollator soon.  However, she wants to contact the doctor and ask him to order it as our health insurance will help on the cost when ordered by the doctor.  I think it will allow her to get out of the house more often.  I am so concerned that she is going to fall using just the cane and after she is on her feet for a few minutes she needs to sit down to relieve her back. She will need a pretty heavy duty one as she is not a small lady. 

Jenny, I think I read the Olympics lasts for 18 days.  Last night they were showing the cross country skiing and I find that really boring.  The racing is a different matter.  Apparently the USA isn't fairing very well in a number of the competitions like the ice skating. 

Gloria, it sounds like your being worn out was from happy experiences.  How joyful to hear that your great grandson was asking for you.  I see you were posting very early this morning.  I rested but didn't nap yesterday afternoon and was really ready to go to bed last evening when Scott and Jennifer left around 9 pm.  We sometimes fall back on TV dinners.  We find the Marie Callendar and some of the Stouffer dinner are pretty good.  Right now our freezer doesn't contain any.  From personal experience I don't hesitate to recommend the 5 Star Medical Alert Great Call.  It is available at Walmart for around $50 and there is a reasonable monthly fee and a setup fee but they provide great service and know where you are at all times.   Panera also has a great sticky roll with lots of nuts on it and it is delicious and very large.  I don't think I have had one of the bear claws. 

Jane, enjoy your day off and have a cookie or two for me. 

Good morning.  I have not checked in here for a couple days.  But, I do read the messages most every morning.

Nice to see all of the regular ones here .

Amy, do hope you get your quilt finished and able to deliver it when you go out, 

Lloyd, hope you will have a good day.  Your breathing problem does sound like it was a little scary.

Gloria, I am so glad that you got to visit with your great-grandson.  I know it made you so happy that he remembered you.  I know you were tired, but hope you found it to be a "good tired" feeling.  Nothing is better than being able to be with the little ones around.  I don't get to see any of my "greats" very often.
Two of them live in Connecticut and the others are a little closer, but hard to get together with them.  With parents working, they don't have a lot of extra time.

Larry, your church dinner sounds delicious.  I know Pat will probably feel more secure if she gets a rollator walker.  I am not comfortable with a cane anymore, although, I will use it in the house sometimes.  I am using the rollator that had been my husbands.  I bought a new one with the bigger wheels, thinking it would be easier to get over rough ground, but it isn't. There is a nice neighborhood farmer's market in the summer, held on the Fire Department grounds. But it is on a grassy area and there are so many ruts and bumps that I just can't walk that well over that kind of ground. I was so hoping that the heavier walker would solve the problem, but it didn't.    Plus, it is a lot heavier than the one I use. So, it is sitting in a corner, not being used right now.

Jane,  I can almost smell your good cookies.  We are in for 5 or 6 days of rain.  Yesterday, I did sit out for over an hour and the temperature was almost 80º.  But, after the sun left the area, the wind picked up and it got a little chilly.  Came in then, as it was getting to be lunchtime.

Jenny, I, too, would love to be able to send Joan a card.   Be sure to let us know, if you are able to arrange for a card shower for her. She sure is missed.  Just doesn't seem the same place without her around. 

Don, sure wishing you a safe trip and I know how much Bubble is looking forward to your visit.  We all will be anxious to see pictures of some of the neat places where you both are able to get to.  Makes me feel happy that you are well enough to make the trip.  What a blessing for you both.

I think that Sunday will be the end of the Olympics.  Like Jenny said, I am kind of ready for it to be over. There are only a coupe events that I really enjoy.  I love all the ice skating events and did enjoy all those fancy ski jumpers.  Hard to understand how they can end up landing on their ski's after so much acrobatics in the air. 

This morning, all the excitement was for the Gold Medal for the women's hockey game win !   That had to be exciting to be there for that.

Sad that Billy Graham has passed away, but he sure lived a wonderful and blessed life.  I really enjoyed listening to his talks.  He is again with his lovely wife, Ruth.  Not sure if there is anyone right now who can measure up to him.  He was a special man.

Hope everyone will have a great day.

Joy

Had a text from my son.  His high school girls basketball team is in the playoffs and the final game is tonight.  He has a ticket for me to attend and my DIL will pick up Kiran and me in time to go.  How exciting!  Kiran and I will have supper together and then an exciting event to watch together! 

I guess I better get at the cookies.  I might need them for a celebration!

Jane:  Wonderful news on the playoff game!  Go girls!  Did you notice the USA girls hockey won the gold?  Amazing

Gloria:  Worn out - it doesn't take much for me to take a ten-minute afternoon nap - that is enough to refresh.  Even talking wears me out these days and that is something I love....

Radioman Don:  Have a wonderful time with Bubble! 

Lloyd:  glad you are OK after that nighttime scare. 

X-country skiing - that is what I wish that I could do again.  However, it was one of my worst falls years ago - my entire side turned purple.  We can't get the Olympics here - we  get one local channel and do have Amazon Prime so that is a nice for a movie or series.  Otherwise, radio/

Jane:  What kind of doggies do you keep?  We have no fenced yard so that is out of the question now.  All the children have dogs - they know us pretty well and we are glorified dog-sitters.  One house has ducks and chickens as well - have you ever tried to herd the fowl? 

CAROL, my doggies are Scotties, one black and one Wheaten.  They are 10 and 12 years old and they are what keeps me moving some days.  I tell them that I think they watch and as soon as my bottom hits a chair, they bark to go out or get their water dishes filled or have dinner or sometimes for nothing at all.  And I don't "keep" the doggies.  They keep me!  As long as I tend to all their needs and don't make them take too many baths, they let me stay here. 

I haven't watched any of the Olympics but I saw a photo in the paper of the Hockey team.  I cheered for them!

One batch of cookies is cooling and I don't think I'll make them again.  They are falling apart.  I only hope when they are cooled, they are a bit firmer.  I got the recipe off the internet and they sounded good.  I think I'll go for the Amish sugar cookies next.

LARRY, I always thought of myself as a pretty good speller, too but this keyboard is sure slowing me down.  I think I might have to get a new one.  A lot of the keys are sticking and I suspect that's because Kiran eats and drinks in the office after school.  I cleaned it out recently and it was GUNKY!  There's probably stuff down there that I'm not reaching or that is too sticky to come out.  Oh well!  I have to blame the mistakes on SOMETHING don't I?

Good Morning, Everyfriend,

I read all the posts every day but it isn't often that I have things to visit about that relate to anything the rest of you are doing. 

However, Oklahoma City had something happen last night that I usually see mentioned only by Mary Ann about the Great Lakes.
The areas around the two large lakes that supply OKC's water actually had Lake Effect Snow!  Radar showed the line of snow reaching about a mile south of each lake.
Two long-time weather gurus said it was the first time they had ever seen such a thing in Oklahoma.

I was able to get out and about on Monday and went early to my regular hair appointment on Tuesday morning.  Everything was fine when I left for that but, during the 40 minutes I was there, my car was covered with slushy sleet.  Fortunately, the streets hadn't yet gotten slick and I was able to get home o.k.
Then the sleet moved in and I've been house-bound since then and am just fine with that!

There have been six pairs of cardinals at my bird feeders and I saw a rabbit scoot under the holly tree yesterday

Pantry is stocked and I have plenty of e-books to read, recorded t.v. shows to watch, Netflix and-of course- the computer.

Wishing Everyfriend Everywhere an Enjoyable Day.

CUL8R when/if I find something to talk about. 

Callie, I've stayed in as well.... lots of ice up here but so far the trees are not hanging on to it so not worrying about power going out.  I finally got around to washing my little Encore after that last time of icy streets & all that gunk they put on. They closed my fav car wash so I washed it in my own driveway, I don't plan to get out until the streets are DRY!  Plants & trees thought spring had arrived so not sure how much damage the super cold will harm spring blooms.  Don't think we got a lot of moisture but was welcome.

I'll trade you critters.... have had 2 different cats visit lately but only one this morning, sitting by the back door.  He (I think) looks like my Tommy & has been around for at least several years.  He knows I'm a soft touch, I took out a tray of dry cat food & then tossed over the fence a chicken bone with meat on.  He is probably one that recognizes my whistle when I take food down to the river (nearly every night).  Cold & so desperate for food.... I do think he is "fixed" because these girls are not afraid of him like they were of his father.  He looks just like Big Daddy, guessing the father of Tom & Tiger & probably Tommy Two that I fed this am.  Last I saw of Big Daddy was more than a year ago, old & dragging a back leg, a true feral.  Yes, I even put food out for him that last year.   

Don, maybe you are already giving Bubble a hug so give her another for me, please.  Enjoy & post photos, looks like y'all are always having fun.

Lloyd, I would have been afraid to go back to sleep after a scare like that.  Hope you find the reason & get it fixed. 

Janie, sounds like you are in for a fun afternoon & evening.  My favorite cookie is the old fashioned sugar cookie & I've never figured what the bakery in our neighbor hood during WWII put in them different, but they were huge & only cost a penny.  The owner's daughter waited on people most of the time and would announce to anyone in the store, "here comes Sugar Cookie"... 'cause any time I found a penny, it went straight to the bakery. 

Carol, when listening to the twins names I finally Googled to see how it was spelled.... sounded like my ancestors that came from France... slightly different spelling but that happens all the time with difficult names.  Mine spelled Lamouret with last syllable sounding like "a"........... My gr-grandmother moved to MO as a baby, (from being born in New Orleans) & married a Smith!!!      Gr-grand lived with my father's family when he was young & insisted the kids speak to her in French, so Dad learned how the French pronounced their names the right way!  Half the little town was French & other half German, I always thought I was related to all of them between Mom & Dad. 

OH, forgot all 3 cats in the kitchen, family room.. better check on them!  

A good Thursday HELLO. 

I enjoyed reading all of your nice posts today. 

JUNE, I hope your day is going well. 

Thinking about YOU DON, as you wing your way to your BUBBLE❣️

CAROL, Bob has been researching the HDTV antenna’s available now, as we often remember the expenses involved in having cable in both locations when we had our homes in AZ and CO.  I know I am spoiled, but I do not think I would like to get by with only one channel.  I complain about the high price of cable and the fact that we hardly watch a small percentage of the channels that we have, but they are there if we want them. Of course, realize they make you buy them so you can have the few that you want.  Gurrr.  Has Don checked the antenna’s out? 

JANE, yippee you get to be with your girl tonight and go to see your sons team! 

SHIRLEY, I love reading about all of your kitties!  You do a wonderful job of caring for all of them. 

JOY, I am amazed at the snowboarder AND the ski’ers with the flips etc. and do not know how they keep from breaking their necks...
A couple of the falls I have watched almost did me in!  I do hope we can get something going for Joan, but I am feeling pretty let down right now with out getting just a simple response back from her son.  I feel the bigger wheels on the walkers easier for me to get around, but I understand we all find thing that work out better for us. 

GLORIA, what fun getting to be with that little GREAT grandson!  Of course you were ready to drop when you got home, as that is a lot of excitement for you. 

LARRY, I, too, find some of the cross country skiiing rather too much, but I am sure impressed at the stamina they have to do it!   I have special interest in watching the down hill skiing as so many of the local Colorado ones are in there that we hear about all the time.   I always like to read about your Wednesday night family night. 

AMY, I do hope to can get the quilt done!  I do believe you even put Our Shirley to shame in how you can accomplish SO MUCH in one day.  This is meant to be a complement to both of you....oh and we can not forget to add Jane in there....you all are quite the inspiration! 

OK, I must get going....I want to go swim, but the cold temp out there sure do not make me happy to go, but I must!

Have a great day, EVERYFRIEND!

Jenny

Jenny, I don't know all about the antenna channels & HD but I do know I can get in the neighborhood of 50 some channels, all 3 of the local stations plus ION, a movie one, ME, MY, & so on.  My son says we get FOX (but I'm not watching news), the History Channel, PBS... too many to name.  If you want to see what is available in your area check this link & put in your zip code & click "Over The Air"... it is the best TV guide of what is offered because it seems that the stations change channels & we have to "search for channels" automatically now & then.  I am more than pleased to have so many OLD shows & movies there is no way I'd go back to what I had before, even if I had to pay for antenna service!  I bought my antennas, a 2 pac, at Sam's Club...https://m.samsclub.com/ip/mohu-hd-tv-antenna-value-2-pk/prod13400079  ... they cost more at Walmart & didn't price anywhere else.  I can't tell the difference in reception between the small one & large.  The sales guy at Sam's said one antenna can be connected to multi TVs but since I was doing my own install, I just bought an antenna for each TV & it is on the wall (with push pins provided) above each TV.  If I can do it, anyone can!  I guess I've had them a couple years now, still have my Cox phones & internet (costs less than $60 for both) & had been going to $200 a month..... just think what I have saved.    I don't mind spending money if for something I want to do (like gas for the RV), but resented those cable bills for nothing but news & sales stuff.  You can always just buy one (or the pair) to try in your area, I'd think you should get plenty in the Denver area.  When in St.Louis I was a TV junky all night when parked in my daughter's driveway.  I had to sleep in the RV so the cats could get out in the whole RV for exercise.  When I get out I have to close them in the bedroom.  They are happy campers now.

By the way, I have already admitted defeat when it comes to keeping up with Amy or Janie.  Was working on building up steam & oxygen during the warm days last week, taking my iron & extra trips down to the river, but being lazy since winter returned.  I feel NO SHAME because they can out-do the pink bunny!   

Jenny I sent you an e-mail that might be helpful in cards to Joan.

Callie, that certainly was unusual for you to have lake-effect snow.  I don't think I've heard of anyone not by the Great Lakes having it.  Will wonders never cease!

Mary Ann

Mary Ann,  I just did a Google search to see if I could find anything about the lake effect snow here.  Apparently,  it's made the national news.
Was hoping I could find a video of the tv station radar that showed two distinct lines going south from each of the lakes. No luck. Weather man said each one was a band about a mile wide.

Callie, we're about 35 miles from Lake Michigan and we get lake effect snow here.  Of course, Lake Michigan is a bit wider than your lakes.  When the lake freezes over as it has done recently, we don't get that kind of snow but we do get snow!  When the lake is open and there is wind and freezing temps, that is when we get the lake effect.  It's kind of fun being different, having something few other areas get.

I'm happy that you could join the crowd!

Mary Ann

Went in to see my doctor today at her request. The trip tired me out, as I knew it would. She did an E.K.G. and it was not good. She plans to order some heart medicine whatever that will be. She will be coming here to Rowntree next week for her usual monthly visit, so I will find out more then, I will type up a bunch of questions as they occur to me.

so, I will have a light supper at home, and an early bed and book. Have a good night my dear ones. Hope we have news from Don by then. June

  WE WON!  It was the first game of the District playoffs and they kids looked really good!  And my son looked proud!

Good morning everyone..

We are off to the city to get the results of the CT scan for hubby, pray all is well please. I think that after this one it will only be once a year for the next 5 years.
Yesterday went well, both chimneys cleaned , there was very little in the shop one and a wee bit in the house one. I usually burn a hot fire in the cook stove, not one that just sits and smolders. After having a visit with tea and treats with our neighbour and his dog I headed to the sewing room . The 3rd quilt top is done so now I can take them to my friend to quilt. Told hubby if I EVER try  doing a quilt in two days to really shake his finger at me.

Shirley, I take power naps and don't run as much as I use to.........can't stay up late.If I over do it on one day I do pay for it the next,I too, have to learn to pace myself.My Dr told me one time to just take things slow.........well that not easy for me but think I had better listen.

June ,I am glad you went to your Dr now this problem can be dealt with  and get you tickity boo, right as rain and feeling up to par. 

Larry, in a quilting forum I go to ,we have card showers,if someone is going through a rough time we send cards or we have even set quilt blocks and one lady will put the quilt together and give it to the needed person.

Jane, what a great game to be at!!!Will you be able to go to the next game? Congratulations to the team and your son!!

Callie, glad you got home safe and sound!! Not nice driving in that slush though. Today we are to have freezing rain and hope we are home before it starts.

Better get a move on here...

Enjoy your day everyone.. 

Good Morning Everyfriend!

AMY, my prayers are with you every day but will be special today.  I hope there's good news to share when you get back!

JUNE, good for you going to the doc.  Now do as she says and all will be well.

When I left the gym last night, two newspaper guys were talking to my son so I'll have to be sure to see the papers today.  He always surprises me with what he says to the newsies!  He's like my father around us.  He just plain doesn't talk much so it's nice to see what's in that mind of his.

We're waiting for the boinger for the doggies and then the day begins.  I'll be off to Wally World this morning.  Wish me smiles and short lines!  And enjoy your day!

Good Morning Soda shop.
I do not post very often in this place but try to keep up to date with news  of friends. Notice  that news of JOAN is missing so will include last email I had from Joe .....
“Hi June, Mum has (some) good days and (a lot of bad days). She generally stays in bed 24 hours a day and hasn’t been interested in anything except her tv. She does enjoy visits from family and when when she receives cards from anyone. Thanks for checking in”

I followed this up and today received this address from Joe (this would be HIS address) and know JOAN would like to hear from old friends. 
Joe Lavelle.......24089 3rd Street, FAIRHOPE. AL  36532.

GLORIA, I followed up past news when I read of people wishing to send cards.
So pleased you enjoyed your day with your G/Grandson.   Keep well and like you often look back to the days of Bis’s Nest.
