Amy, good morning; nothing's changed fire-wise, no rain here. Although they had heavy rains in the Southeast portion of the state. Proving that nothing happens singularly, we received this weather notice today, "The Tanana River will have an increased risk of flooding of low lying areas starting today and continuing through the week. People in the Rosie Creek Subdivision near Fairbanks should prepare for potential flooding this week, with water levels similar to what happened with the high water in 2011 and 2012."

Jenny, I am having to look above the tears in my eyes... tears of joy that you got there in time for him to recognize and tell you he loved you. That was so important to me since I did not get that chance and it made the loss so much heavier.  Dr.Dave deserves extra hugs for arranging your flight.

You know and I know that your father is in a better place, we suffered with them when they couldn't do the things they wanted. But it sure doesn't fill the empty hole in our hearts when we want to tell them something special. Since Pollyanna here always has to look for the good in a situation, let's hope that this stress of worrying about your father will be enough less to allow your own body to relax and heal itself. My sincere sympathy to you and all the family.

Jenny so sorry to hear of your loss...prayers for all family and friends..

JENNY, please know that my thoughts are with you and your family.  I'm glad you managed a last visit with you father!

Jenny, I am sorry to read of your loss. Dwell on all the good memories you have tucked in your heart about your Dad. Thought and prayers to you and your family.

Jenny, my sympathy, loving thoughts and prayers are with you.

Good morning..

Coasting today, doing what needs to be done and that is it! Yesterday was long, fun and my friend got good news! The Dr is making things happen and fast! We again loaded up the van at Costco, getting ready for winter. Had rain,thunder while in the city and ran into rain on the way home. Kyle said they hardly got any rain here, not even enough to wet the ground.

CC I don't remember a post like that.  I know urns come in many shape sizes and materials.

Patricia, how are the fires,are they any whereclose to being put out? Do you go through this each year with the fires?

Better scoot.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Lloyd...good morning..thank you for the comment...I was trying to help a friend who wants to be creamated...I HAVE suggested she goggle the subject...lots information on line...have a great day.

Jenny, I just now read of your loss and I am so sorry.  It leaves a big hole in your heart.  I am also glad you got there in time to tell him goodbye.  I wasn't able to be with my father because of distance and I wasn't able to be with my husband because of nursing home restrictions.  Because he had Alzheimer's he didn't know who we were, anyway.  In the families' hearts he had left us many weeks before he actually died.  I've regretted it ever since but, things happen the way they are supposed to, I guess.

Cottencandy, I believe it was Sandy that spoke of making all arrangements for her cremation so she could remove the burden of all that from her family.  She may have mentioned something about the urn but I can't remember which forum it was.  If Sandy sees this maybe she can contact you and give the information for your friend.

Wish someone here could find out and let us know about Gloria!

Does anyone have her Phone Number?

Gloria is FINE!   I just got off the phone with her, she hates talking on the phone & it was time for her chat with her daughter so we rushed our conversation.  Problem with her computer again. Think she is frustrated, but said to tell y'all she is okay, just another sick computer.

I've got so many irons in the fire right now I'm gonna give up & take a shower & wash my hair.  I ripped the sheets off my bed, even down to the mattress pad, rotated the mattress and made a big pot of taco soup.... and then I couldn't get this new dryer to work, can't find the book (I always put manuals in the drawer where the appliance is) and then I can't find my wool dryer balls. They've been in a bag hanging on that utility room door ever since I bought them. I think I will just run away from home.  Oop, dryer buzzed.  All I got to say today!

Shirley, thank you for letting us know..

She must be spitting nails by now with that darn computer!!

Yep, Amy, and it is a new one!  We didn't talk but a few minutes. I knew it was about time for her facetime (or whatever it's called) with her daughter but knew if I didn't call while I was thinking about it, I'd forget until middle of the night.

I think I got 3 hours & 22 min. sleep last night and NO nap today. Got the bed put back together, still haven't found the manual for the dryer but youngest son comes by on Wed night (I always have food for him to take with)... so he showed me how to operate it. I finally got the sheets & mattress pad on when phone rang for my bedtime call from the oldest son. Daughter usually calls about 7:00 pm for a daily update & we agreed we were both worn to a nub today & probably wouldn't go out to look at the moon.

Hey, Rick, thanks for reminding me that I have her phone number. She gave it to me when she was in the hospital last time.

Sweet dreams and God Bless.

Good morning

A good rain yesterday so no need to water the gardens.

Today is Kyle's haircut then take him to the Dr about an hours drive away.

Our fridge light went out so we will have to replace that too today.Always something needing looked after.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning, everyone. The skies are this unusual blue this morning; what's up with that? The winds have shifted, and more rain and flooding are due this weekend, so we have both a low-level flood warning and a fire (516 fires currently) alert warning. Someone somewhere is rubbing their hands in glee.

A head-scratching headline,

Forecasters call for weather on Monday.
