Goodnight Janie, and all the rest of you loving friends. I did as I intended....stayed home all day, didn't even go down to check my mail,as I never got dressed in "walking" clothes. I did take off my nightgown long enough to  take a shower tonight. Now it is time to wish you a a God Blessed night, and I close with Love, Hugs and Prayers. June

Good morning everyone..

Think this is going to be a hot one with little or no wind to help out. We have to take the garbage away and pick up hubby's blister packs then home to split kindling. The neighbour had some cedar logs cut up and he split them but now we need to split them finer for kindling.

Hubby got the loaner remote for his hearing aids and I did a bit of grocery shopping at Freshco...then headed home.

June, there are days when one just loves to relax and enjoy .

Jane,you know what time it is and soon the cherries will be in and I am going to can more than what I did last year!! Plus peaches a lot more of those they turned out really good.

Lloyd, hope your internet behaves and we get to see more of you on here.

Callie, I had to smile at the "could be done" I too have work like that and maybe it might get done :)

Gloria, I hope the sun shines making the damp weather disappear .Hope your back is better today.

Mary Ann. there are times my body tells my brain to be quiet  until I feel like doing something.....tug of war at times :)

Larry, we pay 2.49 a doz for eggs here ,they may come on sale for 1.99 but not too often.

Better go get ready for the day.

Enjoy your day everyone.

And now here I am again!  Just like a bad penny, I keep turning up!  I wish you all a good morning and a happy day to follow it.

I'll be off to WM at 10 to greet my public.  Wish me smiles.  They do make the day go better.  I have some errands to do after work but I'll come home and see to the doggies needs, have a sandwich and then (hopefully) have enough energy to do the errands. 

Tomorrow...sometime...I'll be taking off to drive to my sister's to spend the weekend.  My grandniece, Bethany graduated high school this year and her parents are having a celebration in her honor on Sunday.  I didn't know if I wanted to make this trip but I decided I can do it one more time.  I'm not so sure about my ancient car!  But it seems to be doing OK.  If you think about it on Saturday and on Monday when I'll be on my way home, say a prayer for our safety!

Enjoy your day, Everyfriend!

Note to Amy...You're way to ambitious when it comes to canning!  Enjoy!

Good morning everyone, 55°. The local forecast is for 80 by afternoon. Been quite cool this week but today no rain for a change. Overcast again now. We have had rain the last 6 week ends. Will wait and see if we have rain this one again. Still not p to posting. I will wish you all a good day and then go lay on the couch and watch the TV. Maybe doze off at times. This makes me feel like I am lazy.

Good Morning Everyone,
from the warm but dry and pleasant,
rocky coast of Maine.    Temps are in the low seventies today and partly sunny. 

A very comfortable  "rare day in June"....

I have been steadly watching the Decorah EAGLES...My,  are they fun to watch...   getting
close to their fledgling stage when they will be
setting of on a new soaring life...   

I watch them here:

https://explore.org/livecams/raptor-resource-project/decorah-eagles

So much fun.   I will miss them when they are
gone. 

Have a good day,  Everyone.
Sandy

Hi Everyone. It is going to be another sunny and hot day today getting into the low 90's this afternoon.  I plan on a quiet day at home to rest up for the weekend.  Pat's new iPhone 5 came yesterday afternoon and this morning I put in the SIM card and got it mostly setup.  She is now trying it out.  She held it yesterday and things it may be a fine size for her to hold and  to carry in her pocket.

Gloria, I was happy to see you check in yesterday.  Glad you can find some comfort on your couch.  Pat finds comfort in her easy chair and can change positions with the power button.  Doing what you have to do in staying on your couch isn't being lazy in my book but just taking care of yourself. 

June, I can relate to a tiredness when just moving our body around and having to force ourselves to do things we normally do without thinking is a bit difficult.

Callie, I saw pictures on the news last night about flooding in Oklahoma City.  I hope your area was OK.  The ebooks are very enjoyable as are the audiobooks.  I have now listened to and read a lot of them.

Lloyd, it looks like you were back in business on the computer yesterday. 

Amy, do you have a powered wood splitter or do you have to use an ax? I hope your peaches are as good as the ones we have been getting that are grown just North of us. 

Jane, I am happy that you "keep showing up".  I sure hope you got some easy lines today.  Glad you are going to visit your sister and attend the celebration.  I sure hope you car behaves itself. 

Mary Ann

Sandy, I watch the same site for the Decorah eagles but I have a different link, wonder why that happens.  The birds don't look too pretty right now, but just wait!

Larry, we will be in the low 80s today and that will suit me fine.  I won't have to turn on the a/c and I can have doors open.

Mary Ann

JaneS

Well, I made it through another day and my favorite CSM was on duty today.  She seems to be the only one who remembers that I like the short lines and she does her best to see that I get them.  Today was one of those days!

I got the doggies taken care of, had my sandwich and took off to do the errands.  I finished them all and got home in record time.  I even made a connection with my son and he and my DIL and TLH are going to Bethany's party Sunday and I'm going to tag along with them so I don't have to drive and depend on an iffy car. 

Supper is ready when I am.  There's one individual meat loaf left and I'm having that with tater tots and the rest of the fried radishes for my supper.  Not too bad!

Sandy, I checked out the eagles and that's pretty neat!  Thanks for sharing. 

Lots of smiles in my lines today plus 2 old friends that I haven't seen in a while.  Good day!

Hope you all had a good one, too!

I have gave my provider plenty  of attention. they just called me a few min ago ans said i am back on line. I would sure not want to be the contractor that cut that big cable into. think of the $$$ that cost

I am just up from another long nap, about 2 and a half hours. and I mean my naps are like I have gone unconcious. They are working in the apt. across the hall.....sounds like they may be installing a kitchenette, and I sleep through all the noise.

Larry you are the most encouraging man. When we gripe about all our "resting", you make it sound like the wise thing to do. I thank you for your kind words. Makes us sound normal in caring for ourselves.

I did get my body in gear today. I wanted to go to the Red Hat singing group, so got downstairs on time, only to fine our "coach" is still ill, so no singing. I attended a program on big screen instead....showing the big cities in Austria.......huge old beautiful buildings..lot of statues on the outer walls.

Then it was time for lunch, so I forced myself down to eat.....sooooooo sleepy ! But I forced myself down and ate, then home to plop down and go unconcious.  And now I am here boring the rest of you.

It turned hot....mid eighties...so the A/C is doing it's cooling.

Now that I am concious again, I will put on some shoes and go out for a walk. If it is too warm for comfort I will  pop into the club house and see what is going on. So, I'll see y'all later. Hugs !
As long as we are here, let's dance.

It is really late, but I just wanted to stop in to make sure all is well here in our SS.

It was a HOT one here in the Mile High City, and they are projecting it to be even hotter tomorrow!  It is making everyone very concerned due to the chance of forest fires! 

Tonight we met our new daughter-in-laws parents for dinner.  It was good to get together and chat about all the new stuff going on in our children’s life.  Mark and Megan flew to Hawaii today for a couple of days.  There may be some news to follow but right now we are just laying low. 

I bet Shirley and her sons have enjoyed a nice week here.  The temps have be very nice in the mountains. 

I really must get to bed.......PLEASANT DREAMS TO ALL!

Good morning everyone..

Another lovely day here, will soon have laundry on the line! Not sure what else is on for today.

Larry, I used an axe to split the kindling, love the smell of the cedar.

Sandy, thank you for sharing the web cam sight, I also passed it on to friends that love watching the eagles.

Better get a move here.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning everyone. I also enjoyed the eagle once again . I in the past had
a clip of the eagles that told how old they got and how they would bang there beak until they broke it off and then grow a new one . and we think we have a
tough way of life. and as far as eye sight even with glasses I have a hard time
focusing. have a great day everyone. another hot one. already 73º and heading for the upper 90 again. this heat is killing me. not near as tough as i was in my younger day's. I worked over  forge working hot iron sharpening plow shares and making horse shoes well over 100º. a now passed on friend older than me used to say good old days heck, only thing about them was I had a strong back and a weak mined. Have a great day.

Good morning everyone 58°, feel a little better this am. For the first time in 6 weeks we will  have a dry week end and lower humidity. Thank you God. The yearly Air Show is going on this week end. Good weather for it. Some years it has rained or been cloudy. The Blue Angels are back after a couple of years of not performing here.

LARRY  my couch is comfortable. I did doze on and off most of the day.

JANE  glad you will no thave to drive to your sister's this week end. I never heard of fried radishes. Do you slice them or what? I do like radishes.

LLOYD  I am so happy you are back on line. Wish I could have shared some of the rain we have had here the last 6 weeks.

JUNE  you are never boring. Glad you did get out of your apartment for awhile.

AMY   my daughter will be doing her laundry today, too.

Time to go have breakfast. I am actually hungry.

Good Morning Everyone ...

I am so glad to see some watching the
Decorah Eagles ....  (not fledging, yet) .

https://explore.org/livecams/raptor-resource-project/decorah-eagles

They are such a joy.    And yet,  I do know
that sometimes some don't make it.   This
year we lost the Father.   But do see
that Mom is "dating"  ..  ha ha ...   She
doesn't let any males come near
her nest.      What a protective Mommy! 

Enjoy the weekend,   Everyone!

Sandy, thanks for mentioning the Decorah site.  I didn't know about it and will add it to my list of cams.  For several years, I have been hooked on the DC Arboretum cam (Mr P and TFL) and the NEFL (Romeo and Juliet).  This year I also started watching the Smoky Mountain cam until the babies were moved to a Hack Tower because of the fish being brought in had fish hooks and fishing line in them. 

Between the eagles, the Duluth cams and a couple of others, I spend entirely too much time watching them all ;D.

Thanks again.

Hi Everyone.  It is another bright and clear morning but headed into the low 90s this afternoon.  My morning kitchen chores are done and have fixed Pat's breakfast.  I plan on attending a meeting this morning and then stopping at Aldi's for just a few items.  I may pick up something to bring home for our main meal today but Pat hasn't decided yet whether that is what she wants to do.  Plan to rest this afternoon and watch some golf and that is my planned day.  I did spend an hour or so trying to help my SIL with her Cricut craft machine without any luck.  I use a program called Teamviewer that allows me to have access to her computer.  She called later to say she had gotten on the phone with the Cricut tech and after working for an hour with her with no success they said they will send her a new machine as there is something wrong with the one she has.  I guess that explains why we had no success when I was trying to help her. 

Jane, glad you had a pleasant day at work with the shorter lines.  Sure glad you are not going to have to make the drive to Bethany's party but are going to be able to so with your son and family and it will save the miles on your car as well as make the trip more enjoyable having someone else in the car with you. Hope you can have a restful day today.   

Lloyd, it must be a nightmare for the cable companies or any utility company when one of their lines or cables are accidentally cut by a contractor.  Glad to see you are back in business.  I well remember how hot it gets in Missouri and having to be in the barn with the cows at milking time or going into the shop that Dad had.  Also being out in the fields in the blazing sun.  That was the days before cabs on tractors with AC and the only protection from the sun was to wear a hat. 

Gloria, glad to see today finds you feeling better.  Are you able to see any of the air show from your apartment window?  I don't recall ever going to an air show or seeing the Blue Angels other than on TV.  Like you I have never heard of friend radishes either and that struck my eye in Jane's posting. 

Sandy, it sounds like you keep a close eye on the eagles.  I just now clicked on the link you provided and will take a look.  I may be missing out by not checking out some of the webcams that you and others visit.  Hope you have a nice weekend.

Mary, it sounds like you really enjoy the webcams. 

June, if we don't take care of ourselves it isn't reasonable that someone else will be able to do so.  However, we do have to know our limits.  Too bad the Red Hat singing group couldn't meet yesterday and do some singing.  It sounds like you had a pretty full day of activities yesterday.

Jenny, I can understand your concern about the fires in Colorado or any of the other States that are so dry.  Is your area subject to a wild fire?  Nice you have now met Megan's parents.  You have left us guessing again as to what the news maybe.

Amy, does the cedar wood split easily.  I don't recall us ever using cedar for our wood stove but I know the wood we used wasn't easy to split.  Dad finally got a log splitter and that sure helped with that job.

Message about  Ionizing Air Purifers...

For years I have been using an ionzer air purifier...
I also for year have had a cough that has got
progressivly worse.    Although my lungs are clear
(had an xray )..
But came across this information when I decided
to get me a new air purifier:

https://www.livestrong.com/article/108499-breathing-ionizer-dangers/

So I unplugged my ionizing air purifier and replace it with
2 smaller HEPA air purifiers...     I keep one next to my bed
and one next to my desk,  where I spend my days on the
computer/tv  etc.

Immediately my coughing slowed right down and now I only
have to use an inhaler for my slight asthma condition....     
What ever cough I have left is a productive cough versus
the dry cough that I have suffered from,  for years.   

I can not believe that I went all these years using 
the wrong type of air purifier....   

So I thought that I would mention this, just in case others
might have similiar issues  as I have had.   

I prided my self on doing a lot of research before trying
something,  but some how I missed the warning that
are out about ionizing air purifiers.  Probably what
happened was,  when I first started using it,  they didn't
talk about
the  problems...   but now of course,  they do.

No problem using the hepa type.   Except some air
purifiers are using ionizers along with hepa filters.   

But not mine,  any longer!
I just bought these two Levoits:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076X2FJ5X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And they are awesome!

To those who asked about the fried radishes....I ran across a recipe for them somewhere and I really prefer them over raw ones.  With adjustments to the recipe, this what I do.  I clean and slice the radishes about the thickness I would potatoes to fry.  Then I put some non-stick in the frying pan and a bit of butter (they used olive oil)  salt and pepper and whatever other spices I feel like.  Fry them until they are semi soft over medium heat and enjoy.

Cathy called and we went to the Amish store this morning.  I had a hoagie for my lunch and got some good bargains.They had the colored canning lids that I like for less than half what I paid for them last year at WM so I bought 4 boxes.  They also had the sweet chili carrots for 25 cents a bag again.  Got a couple of those.  I also treated myself to a bag of gummi bears. 

Came home and put everything away and made dog food, ate my hoagie and here I am. 

I hope you are all having a lovely day!

It is Saturday,correct ? Well, I am giving myself a Holiday. II was awakened at six for the usual nursing stuff, then turned over and went back to sleep till 7:30. So far my Holiday consists of still sitting here in my nightgown. I did my usual breathing machine, prayer time, (didn't understand todays page at all.) I am reading the book Dori gave me at Christmas time, titled Daily with the King.366 daily devotions, by . W. Glyn Evans, deceased.but that's O.K.,I don't have to understand everything.

Then, I felt like singing. Got out a folder where I have saved favorite songs (just the words) down through the years, and they brought so many happy memories. I sang for about an hour till my vocal chords told me to shut up. So here I am. A/C needed at onlly 81 degees, but being on the top floor of a flat roofed building it gets hot early. I have not the slightest idea of how I will spend the day, but I will pull a t.v. dinner out of the fridge....just do not feel very "social" today.

I may go down t 6:30 to hear a new entertainer. His moniker is Raza, his music is called "Blue Angel" music. He covers music from the 1930's and 1960's. Plays guitar,and says to bring our dancing shoes. I am saying mentally, "June, act your age".  Maybe.......

Right down I must get ready to face the hallway walkers to get to the lobby a few doors down the hall where we may use the large refigerator/freezer for our dinners. See you later. June
As long as we are here, let's dance.

Good afternoon,sunny about middle 70's now. think I will go out on the deck and read.

Amy, when you mention axe, I remember I  help cut the wood for the stove.  One of the saws was a two man saw, and I would have to help. When we used the coal stove, I would have to get the ashes out of the fire box take them out side to the sifter and shake them in the driveway. and kids think they have it hard to day. I just knew that was my job.  Also did not get and allowance :)

June, Austria is a very beautiful country. I have been there a couple of times.  My DIL is from Austria, but German by birth, as the hospital

she was born in was on the German boarder Berkhousen

Gloria I am glad you are feeling better. My feet swell when the humidity is high. I can no watch and air show anymore,as I saw a plane crash.

On one of our trips west with the Girl Scouts we spent one night near Cheyenne at a Girl Scout camp and since it was also the celebration of Cheyenne Frontier Days, we went there for the parade.  Some of the kids were grabbed to participate in the parade and in the morning, when we went to the outdoor breakfast, we got to the cash register and were told that since we had volunteered to be ushers with the local Girl Scouts at the rodeo, our breakfast was free. 

We not only ushered, they made sure that the kids saw as much of the rodeo as they could and then at the intermission, they took us back under the stands and introduced us to cowboys, cowgirls and lots of cattle and horses!

At the end of the rodeo, the Blue Angels did a show over the stands and we were duly impressed.  That evening, we had supper in the dining room where the rodeo participants and staff eat and we got to meet a whole bunch of Blue Angels.  I don't think any of us slept too well that night!  When we volunteered to help with the ushering, we thought we did it to help and to see the rodeo free.  We got a lot more than we bargained for.

Also, that night there was a concert in the arena and while we were waiting in line to buy our tickets, someone from the staff saw us and took us around the corner and under the stands to ringside seats.  The only one I can remember in the concert was Charlie Pride and he's always been one of my favorites.  What a great time we had. 

But seeing the Blue Angels and meeting them face to face was great!

Jane, what a wonderful time you must have had on that trip.  My dad and I drove out West  a few times, stopping at the mountains.  I loved it out there seeing the mountains and all of that wonderful scenery.

What a lovely day!!! Laundry dried in no time and it is now all put away. Planted my citronella and Morning Glories ,fertilized and watered the flower garden . Just took some pie over to the neighbour and clipped their dogs nails ,now to do these girls but not today.

Jane, I am going to try the fried radish, may go get some seeds to plant a few also. What a fantastic time you had at the rodeo, memories for those girls and you to last a life time.


Gloria de ,we put our ashes in a barrel and then take that to the dump. I really don't want the dogs to walk or track in ashes as you know it is really messy to clean up!


Time to relax :)

I had a nice quiet day at home. Had to turn on the  A/C a couple of times. My Apt is small so it cools off in a hurry. I had a big lunch at home, a Healthy Choice frozen fish dinner, so I'll eat a light supper then go down for the program.

Hi Mycheal, always a treat to have you pop in on us. I have never seen a real eagle, to the best of my knowledge. I'm sure we had them in Mn., but my family wasn't in to bird watching unfortunately. Seems like my whole childhood was  my parents working hard enough to put food on the table. We just grew.
As long as we are here, let's dance.

Good night my good friends.  Thanks to whoever it was who mentioned the Blue Angels.  It brought back a cherished memory for me that included not only the Blue angels but my Girl Scouts as well.

God be with you!
