What a happy way to start the day..most of our "family" is up and posting, and well enough to face the day. My day started the usual way.....happily. I am so thankful.

We will have a high of 82 today. Not much going on. I did go down for the early exercise class.....nothing I would care to join. It is led by folks on the t.v. I think I do better right here at home in my apt. every morning.

I'm going to visit our clinic at 1;30 to have one of the nurses exam my right foot. It is so painful, I am wearing a special soft slipper with solid sole on that foot. It feels like a bone is trying to break through the flesh on the ball of my foot and walking is something I MUST do for the rest of the body.

There is a new program started, "the walking club" this is the first day and unfortunately the time is the same as my nurse appt.

Larry, you are so right...I am SO blessed to live in a place like this. I can't believe it my self. The girl spent over about an hour with me, getting the T.V. to behave, and it works better than the day it was installed.

It will soon be time to go down for lunch. I think I'll order from the right hand page of the menu....I have a  taste for a bacon and tomato sandwich.I broke a tooth on the last one i had so I will have to be cautious in biting into it.
Age certainly introduces new manners of eating, and well as showering....so cautious now. But we live, so we will rejoice. Hugs everyone ! June

I don't know if this will work or not, but I was looking back at some of the first things I saved on this computer, and found this folder. Pat H. would remember it for sure. I just hope it will open for you...as it did for me.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  It looks like everyone is sleeping in this morning or is too busy to post.

I was up early but I have to be to work at 8:30 today so got ready while we waited for the doggies pill time. 

JUNE, I was able to open the puzzle site.  It's a good one!

Wish me smiles and short lines today.  It worked yesterday!

JaneS you hit the nail on the head I just got up slept according my breathing machine I slept 8.5 hours. we yesterday got 1" rain and is and it is cloudy and rain close around us. not fussing we need it. more is welcome. have a great day.

Lloyd

Amy

Good morning everyone...

Looking like rain here and it sure would be welcomed.

I slept in I was up in the night with the girls, Golden Girl is having trouble with her hind end and breathing, once I put the fan on her she settled down. I know our days are numbered with her.

Not sure what today will bring as there is always something around the house to do.

June, I also got to open it up and yes I did do the puzzle, beautiful scene too!

Jane , have a great day at work with LOTS of smiles and short lines.

Lloyd, enjoy your day doing what you wish.

Shirley, this cool won't last long soon we will be in the 80's - 90's not nice weather at all. I am getting that I prefer early Spring, Fall and Winter, can't take the heat anymore.

Enjoy your day eve4ryone..

Good morning everyone 60°. Warmer than yesterday. No sun this morning and showers are in the forecast for today. Another day like yesterday was too much to expect.

JUNE  it is wonderful all the things they do there for the tenants. All they have here is Bingo on Wednesday evening and not many attend anymore. The witch would be happy if we all just stayed in our appartments. That link opened for me and will check it out later, thanks. I love jigsaw puzzles.

JANE  by now you are already working.Hope you get the short lines.

LLOYD  looks like you had a good sleep last night, great. I might still be asleep but the landscapers are here and their loud machines sure wake one up.

AMY  we do love our fur family and hate it when we have to see them cross the Rainbow Bridge. My second son told me when he was here Saturday they had to put their dog away, he was 15 or 16 years old. You are getting like me, I never liked summer except for the fresh fruit and veggies we get.

Have a good day.

Hi Everyone.  It will be another hot day here after a relatively cooler day yesterday.  We enjoyed the salad bar at Ruby Tuesday's yesterday and did pick up our grocery order.  This morning Pat plans on attending her Gift's Group at the Church and I will take her and go on down to the coffee group at the cafe while I wait for her.  Scott is planning on making our dinner tonight when he gets here.  It will be his specialty Taco Pie and we have plenty of salad mix to go with it.  I had to refilll my medicine boxes this morning and fix Pat's breakfast. 

It is about time to take Pat to her meeting so will have to come back and read the postings here since I posted yesterday later this afternoon. 

Mary Ann

June, I was able to bring up the puzzle and I did it.  I do the puzzles on the regular site each day and I noticed Pat's site is done by members of the Christian Photographers.  A nice change of scenery.

Amy I am sorry to hear of Golden Girl's condition.  We do love our furry friends as they really are part of our families.  If we're lucky, Kendrick will outlast me and then he'll go to another family because I know Tom will not want to keep him. 

We will be in the 80s all week with a couple days in the 90s.  i'll dress accordingly.

Mary Ann

Shirley

A quick read this morning before doing the outside work (sorry, Joan, a must do).....   Amy, I am so sorry about Golden, the dread of knowing the time is soon wears us down.  My sincere hope it will come naturally and you don't have to make the choice of visiting the vet.  They are worth every moment of heart break but so sad they don't have a longer life span.  A big hug of understanding for you.

G'Morning all, Hello Lloyd, missed you again Lloyd, sorry about that !, I got lost in concentration Lloyd, lol, I was watching the live telecast to-day from your state of Missouri, found the whole thing fascinating and  watching the length of those freight waggons, wow, I tried to contact you on Skype, but I guess you was still in the land of nod !, it was about 8-30am your time,as it is still a it on the early side I hope to see some people arrive at the station soon, it's very interesting to see and hear the sounds, especially the early morning twittering of the birds !, lol, well, I expect that's about as near as we will ever get to each other Lloyd lol,  maybe you will get up early one morning and Dance a Jig in front of that camera !, i'll keep watching, just in case !. :thumbup:.   Cheers   Peter.  :).

Good morning.  Just a quick stop to say "Hello"..

Nothing interesting in my neck of the woods lately.  Weather is supposed to be hot and humid today.  But,, the rest of the week, including the week-end is supposed to be nice.  About time, after 3 or 4 rainy week ends.  So many activities going on over the next few week ends.

There is a nice Farmers Market right up the street from me, at the Volunteer Fire Department , every Sat. morning in the summer.  Lots of local produce and different other food stands.  I saw some pictures from last week and several stands with local strawberries.  Everything is looks so good and fresh.  Unfortunately, it is held on the grassy areas and the grounds are so uneven, it is just too difficult for me to get around on.  I even bought a new walker with the bigger wheels........... was supposed to do well on all kinds of terrain.  But, it really is still too hard for me to get around.  I am hoping that my son will be able to stop by this week to get me some strawberries.  The  local ones are just so good and so sweet.

I have nothing exciting planned to do today.  I was awake at 4 a.m. and got on the computer for a little while, and then, did manage to go back to sleep.  Didn't wake up until almost 8  .  So, I do feel rested now.  I want to call a friend, who left me a message the other day that she had been in the hospital, so I do want to get back to her. 

I hope everyone will have a good Wednesday.  Enjoy your day !!!!

Janie, " Good Morning to You ! Good Morning to You! We're all in our places, with Sunshiny faces, and this is the way, to start a new day ! " And this is my wish for you this day. Late in the day for  you….not yet nine a.m.for me.

I have had two cups of coffee and a bowl of frosted flakes with sliced banana. I sit here in my nightgown, as my un-made bed lays there giving me mean looks. I'm glad it can't talk.

Jane I'm so glad the click-able opened for you. I hope our Pat sees it. That was way back when I had my first computer…1997, and I just kept transferring stuff as the years went by.

My son will be coming at ten o'clock for bible studies, so off I go to get things ready.
See you all later. June

Hello Everyfriend!  It worked!  I got two easy registers today and lots of smiles!  Thanks!

Amy, I'm so sorry about Golden Girl but I'm sure you will both treasure whatever time she has left to be with you!  It's so hard to watch them age!

I'm not doing anything the rest of the afternoon.  Except maybe pull a few more weeds.  And maybe take the trash to the dumpster.  Those can both be put off if I don't get around to it.

I hope you all have a lovely rest of the day!

Well for a day with nothing planned I managed to vacuum and wash all floors, clip the dogs nails a job that can be trying. Plus I got the front lawn fertilized. Phone the neighbour to tell him not to let their dog walk on it for 48 hrs and he said we were to have a storm plus hail,so I put the vehicles inside the garage. Managed to get all the skateboards done for a second quilt too! Now to put it all together.

Thank you Shirley, Mary Ann and Jane, As you know, it is not an easy job to do and one wonders if it is the "right" time. There are times she cannot get up without some help and other days she just dances to go in the vehicle! She is eating ,drinking and looking for treats .So until the time comes she will get her 1/4 tsp of turmeric, her Omega 3 capsule that I cringe when she bites it and her food. On the bright side I have only one to lift up now, hubby seems to be able to hold his own :)


Joy, I bet those strawberries are so sweet. I will pick strawberries for others to eat, cook with them to make jams and pies but I am not a fan of them. Now raspberries...I bet I can beat anyone to the bowl!!

Better go see what I can scare up for supper..

Amy, how old is your Golden Girl.  My nephew, Tom, and his family had a Golden who lived 10 years.  She was a sweetheart and she would always come to me to take her for a walk when i visited them up north.  She got arthritis and could not go up steps easily so they had to put her down.  I was broken hearted.  I hope it isn't necessary for you to do that for a lonngg time!

Hi Everyone.  Back for the second time since I didn't get the postings from yesterday read. 

Shirley, red delicious apples are still my favorite and I have had a whole or part of one with my lunches for years.  The best one I ever got was a World's of Fun in Kansas City.  I had purchased season tickets for Stacey and myself and on one visit they were handing out these big, beautiful red delicious apples.  Your password for your router probably is located on the side or bottom of the router unless you set up a different one when it was installed.  There is also a reset button on the device which will put it back to factory condition. It would would be easier to call your Internet provider and ask the person to guide you through the process of getting your laptop connected to the wi-fi network as they are usually happy to help.  Pat's sister Judy posted that Pat had experience some hiccups in her hospital stay and still was in the hospital.   Pat had posted some pictures of the birthday part at the hospital some of her family had held for her and also of a special friends visit with her.  I guess the latest is that she will probably have to rehab at home.

Gloria, thanks for providing that very interesting information on the history of Rhode Island. 

June, that must have been a really tough piece of bacon to break your tooth.  Sorry to read your foot is so painful.

Lloyd, my son says he really loves it when it is raining as he sleeps so well.  He likes the sounds of the rain.  I told him he could find various apps for his phone that played these rain sounds in the background for those days it isn't raining.  Since he works at night he usually sleeps mainly during the day.

Sandy, hope you had a nice morning of doing your errands with Kelly. 

Roley, hope you had a nice day after enjoying the Missouri website. 

Joy, the strawberries have been outstanding here this year and Pat wants me to go and get some more tomorrow along with some peaches.  I will probably do it on my way to coffee after picking up my friend or when taking him home.

Jane, it sounds like it was your lucky day today with the short lines. 

Amy, for a day with nothing planned you were certainly busy and sounds like you got a lot done. 

Amy

Wow ,that was some storm!! We lost power around 4 and it is still off, thank goodness for the generator!! We did lose the gazebo top cover but everything else is fine, garden is ok too. To the north they also had hail and what a nice drop in temperature....going to be great sleeping tonight.

Mary Ann, she is 13,she has been through a lot that girl, she gad cancer 2 months after my husband was diagnosed with it. I don't mind lifting her up and helping her but I do know I won't let her suffer.I also give her glucosamine ,chondroitin and MSM to help her joints.

Amy, you are far enough away from me that we did not have your storm first.  I looked at my radar and saw where it was. 

I hope you can hang on to Golden Girl for a while.  I know 13 is a long time for a Golden to live; there are ailments they contract that take them early.  So 13 is a ripe old age for her.

Well, I spent most of this day alternately trying to catch a fly and cursing it's very existence.  It follows me from room to room and buzzes my ears, lands on the top of my head or my bare toes or my elbow and then takes off when I move.  I wish it was anywhere but in my house!  It's driving me crazy!

And that's been MY day!  I sure hope yours was better.  And if you have to laugh, it's OK, I understand.  I don't like it but I understand.

:tissue: :crazy: :dontknow: :roflBig:   sorry, Janie.............. mine has been one step forward & 6 back... only thing I'm proud of today is I did get the bugs off the RV but still don't have everything out (bedding & clothes) to get laundry done.  #2 son stopped by tonight to see if he could retrieve the lost password for the "secure" wi-fi ... so secure I can't get the new laptop connected. He did plug it directly into the modem so it is downloading updates.... big ones & with slow internet I am just going to check it in the morning.  I tried every password possible & it won't let me connect & with all these computer whizzes in the family, so far nobody has come up with a remedy!  Something about too many cooks spoil the ?????  You think?  #1 son (the one that designed the security system) will be home Friday night late & much to do after being gone 2 weeks, so I won't expect him to bail me out for a few days.  All the kids have been after me to get a new computer & all are more upset than I am that "we" have a problem.  A lesson in patience, right?

By the way, Jane, all the time I was washing the RV the flies were biting... stinging... like it was going to rain.  No rain but I slapped myself silly.   :crazy2:

Larry, I was born in Jefferson City where the biggest apple orchard (Stark's) grew the best red delicious apples that had 5 nubs on the bottom.  Later one of the orchards grew Grimes Golden Delicious that were big & juicy... SO good.  After moving to KS I would buy a bushel of golden delicious to make apple pies to eat & freeze.  Didn't take as much sugar to be sweet & were great to "fry" in butter & a toss of brown sugar as they turn clear... yummy with fried potatoes, yes?  After Mom got shingles so bad, Dad would wash & core a whole cookie sheet full of golden delicious apples & stuff the core with brown sugar & bake. He ate them all the time.

Time to give the cats their midnight snack, tomorrow a busy day with mowers to come & a list a mile long of "to dos".  Sweet dreams to all and God Bless.  Shirley



JaneS

Good Morning Everyfriend!  Well, I haven't seen my friend the fly yet today.  He's not on my sticky flycatcher thingy so he's probably still around.  Of course, maybe SHE'S off somewhere laying eggs so one of these days, there will be a million in the house.

I'm going to pull some weeds, take the garbage to the dumpster and....whatever else comes to mind. 

SHIRLEY, I hope you get your computer hooked up soon and I hope you don't have to have any more "fly battles" outside.

I wish you all a perfect day!

Hi Everyone. It is another bright and sunny day but we will be up into the 90's again this afternoon.  This is coffee morning and will pick up my friend on the way.  Either going or coming home I will stop at the Strawberry Stand and get some strawberries and peaches.  Yesterday I did take Pat for her gifts group bi-weekly meeting and while I waited I went to the cafe and spent an hour by myself.  We then stopped at Chick-fil-a for a quick lunch.  It was about 6 last evening when Scott got here and he made our dinner with the Taco Pie and we had a nice visit until after 9:30 and then really had a good nights sleep.

Amy, that sounds like it was a vicious storm.  Glad you didn't have more damage than you did have.  Did you also get hail.  Several areas right around us have had some serious storms the last few days but we have been spared.  Scott has a little dog he has had probably for 14 or 15 years and it is now blind.  He knows the days are numbered for it as well.  He does have a cat and the big dog that Jennifer got as a puppy.  His pets have been a lot of company to him since the loss of his wife.  Sure glad you have that generator so you are not without power.  Did the tornado do a lot of damage?

Jane, it sounds like that fly likes to play games with you.  Fortunately we don't see many flies around our house and have only had a couple that have gotten into the house.  That is some way to spend your day but guess it kept you moving around and getting exercise chasing it.  I see as this morning it is still alive but probably resting from all the activity you gave it yesterday.  Those little wings were probably tired. 

Shirley,  sorry you are still having a problem with the new laptop getting it connected to your wi-fi.  Did you ever eat at the Stephenson's Apple Orchard Restaurant in Kansas City?  That was one of our favorite places to go for special occasions and the food was superb.  They apparently went out of business a few years ago after 60 years in business.  It was on Lee Summit Road and Hwy 40.  I found an interesting article about it that shows a couple of pictures if you are interested:  http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article72924307.html

Good morning everyone. Don't know about me but if I keep sleeping late in the morning I will be waking at noon soon.
Got an email from my daughter this morning with a photo taken with her phone. Sunrise with smoke in the air. I know smoke can go miles away but sure pray there is no fire near them. Quite a few year ago there was a big fire in Canada and we got some smoke from it here. The sky was a weird color and had to shut the house up tight because of the smell. Also saw a lot of different birds at the feeders that I never saw before or since.

Now I have 30 minutes to get ready for a new CNA. My regular Thursday one is now on vacation. Miss her  already.

Have a good day

Gloria, I've been horrified about the big blaze in SW Colorado... could that be the smoke Regina is seeing?  So dry here my poor rain gauge is shrinking.  ;)  ... I need to add water to the pool it has dehydrated so much this week, don't want it below that rim of new tile.

Larry, I bookmarked your link to read thoroughly when I get time.  I have NOT been there but was supposed to have lunch with ladies one time & couldn't make it.  So sorry I missed the opportunity.  I will send the link to my sister-in-law, she has been to every place in the KC area (& surrounding).  Thanks.

Sure wish I could clone me today, I'd send the other Shirley to do the outside work.  Have ivy climbing the brick on the garage wall & need to take the battery powered weed whip to it, beats using those sheers before!  I'm waiting for #1 son to get home to order the battery powered chain saw like he bought in CO... said same price from Amazon.  I have been wanting something like it to use down along my river hideaway...  the mulberry trees are taking over & too big around for the "loppers".  He wants me to wait & try his to make sure it's what I need.... but I KNOW what I need.  ::)

Wishing all a wonderful day... Callie, is that a "Thuper Thursday?" 

By the way, I got the tail end of radio person saying something about "Flag Day".... nothing more.  Will Google, but know y'all do know when that day is.  I sure want my flag out, although so windy this morning it may not get to stay out because it wraps around everything near (mount is on the house by the front doors).

CallieOK

Good Morning,
Hot and humid in central Oklahoma these days.   Quite a few severe storms in the northwestern part of the state - including a tornado or two.  Everything died out before getting to the I-35 area, though.
On Tuesday morning the OKC area was on the western edge of  heavy storms that did some damage in the Tulsa area.  We had a brief downpour with some wind.

Larry,  your mention of the Apple Orchard in K.C. reminded me of going there when we lived in Warrensburg MO from June 1969 - May 1970 while my husband did graduate work at Central MO State.  Loved that place - and going to the Starlight Theater for their summer musicals.   I remember seeing Ethel Merman and Donald O'Connor in "Call Me Madam".

Janie,  I've always heard that a fly won't see you coming if you aim from its back side.  Good luck with that!  LOL

Shirley,  sure....Thuper Thursday sounds like a winner to me.

Off for Bridge - lunch - more Bridge at a local restaurant.

Wishing Everyfriend Everywhere an Enjoyable Day.

Lindancer

Good morning everyone. very windy, but sunny

Larry, I am now watching golf on my Kindle. this golf course means a lot to me, as it is about 1/4 mile from our home in Southampton.  Both Mark and Dennis caddied at Shinnecock, there are 3 golf course in a row  here.  The 18th hole at the southampton golf course was at the end of our property, the kids use to sell lemon aid to the golfers .  Nation course has a beach, I use to take my sons there to swim. When Mark was older he spent his summer days.  Thats where Linda took his ashes, when he died.  By the way I throw one more thing in President Eisenhower played at National. Sorry, I just got carried away, you can tell I was a golfnut . I was still playing at 89

MaryAnn Taffy almost gave me a heart attack (had to take a nitro) I got up at 5 to go to the bathroom, and she walks in with a mouse, put it down in front of me,I thought it was dead  :yikes: which was bad enough, I screamed and the mouse got up and ran and the cat chasing it :yikes: Now I know I have a loose mouse in the house

Click for Riverhead, NY Forecast

Mary Ann

Gloria, I'd scream if Kendrick had a mouse in the house.  At one time, years ago, I thought I had a trace of a mouse, but there were no droppings.  I was headed for Florida so I gave my trap to a neighbor to set for me.  When I got back, the neighbor had caught a mouse, the woman who had taken me to the airport caught a mouse, but my trap was empty.  However, my silver drawer did have droppings so I gathered things up and dumped them in the sink in hot soapy water.  Kendrick did gift me with a baby bird last summer but we put the bird outside and kept Kendrick inside.  Speaking of Kendrick, I let him outside while I fixed my lunch - and I forgot about him.  He's still outside.  I can't do that; I've got to wait by the door for a few minutes, then bring him back inside.

The LPGA is in Grand Rapids so that is on until 4:30 and I can't get the PGA tour.  It will be that way all week.

Gloria de, I thank you  for the laugh, oh my what a surprise that must have been!! My friends cat brings in a chipmunk then lets it go. I think she likes to see her owners running about trying to catch it.

Larry, we didn't get hail here but my friend sure did and the more it came down the bigger it got!!!

Shirley, wouldn't that be cool, cloning oneself and then you would get twice as much done.....works for me!
