Good morning everyone, another early one for me.  My CNA will be busy, laundry and she wants to make a shepherds pie today. She got every thing for it at the market yesterday. I had not made that since I have been here and that is now  6 years. Still wish I was  in my apartment in my son's house. Best thing here is I can get outside thanks to the elevator. No more soializing here anymore. 69 here already. Going to be humid again.

AMY  a few days ago they had rain in the forecast for today. Now they are saying a chance on Friday. We sure could use rain here, too.

LLOYD  if thigs work the way we want them too that Bob will lose big time in court and you can keep your  place in peace. Young people living there will make thing better for you and Nancy.

AMY  glad you finally got some rain. Now share it here. Of course the sothwest could use a lot of it.

JOY  Never heard of tomato jam but would like to try some of it. I have a one track taste and only like the red tomatoes.

SHIRLEY  I would never call you a blabber mouth. You live a busy life and I am jealous. Seems la tely all I want  to do is sleep. No energy left. Of course if I would eat better it  might help-no appetite anymore. I used to be so active but that has gone from me.

AMY  hope you ge t all you need a Costco.

JANE  come out  come out wherever you are. Not like you to be missing like this.

PHYLLIS  hope you soon feel like posting even for just a hello to let us know you are OK.

Have a good day everyone and keep safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  We left at 7:15 yesterday for our appointment with the chiropractor/kinesiologist and we weren't back until almost noon.  I was really tired and was going to get some lunch, give Mickie a snack and a short walk and then take a nap. 

I had just finished my lunch when Frankie walked in the door.  She had an interview for a new job and than thought she had to work right after that.  She was mistaken so she came over to get her doggie and visit a while.  She gave him a bath (she only has a shower at her apartment) and then visited for a while and I took them home and kept my car because Mickie had an early evening VET appt.

I fed her early and took her for a walk and then to the vet and when we got home it was 7 p.m.  I had my supper and then I fell asleep off and on for most of the evening in front of the TV.  Finally decided I might as well do that in bed.

AND THAT WAS MY DAY YESTERDAY! And that's why I never showed up in here!  But I'm here now and I bet I just told you a lot more than you wanted to hear!  Mickie and I are waiting for the boinger now and we have a lot to get done today, too.

JENNY, I'm sorry to hear that you lost your SIL!  But she's not in any pain now and I'm sure she's in a better place.

SHIRLEY, you sure have lots going on.  I hope you find a buyer for your "elephant" soon and that you can find a "baby elephant" to suit your purposes.

Always good to hear from JOY, LLOYD, AMY (good you got rain) CAROL, GLORIA and anyone else that I missed.

It's time for the boinger so I better "wish you all a good day" and be on my way!

Good Morning everyone. well I am u but not atem yet. it is 60ºand sunny here and going for the high eighty's have a good day.

Lloyd

Good morning.  I'm doing much better today and hoping it will stay like that for awhile.

Nothing much to write about since I haven't done much for several days.  Weather is hot  but no rain yesterday, for a nice change.

Take care, All.

I think think that you will be happy
with a converted van.  Just make sure that
it is tall enough for you to stand up in. 

Cats can stay a few days with out having
a human  body  there for them .  Just
make sure that you leave plenty of food and
water for them.   A bed and a porta potty
should  make you feel right
at home for short trips ....
couple nights stay... 

I felt very safe I had more
head room.  And try not to let
the season for selling get by
with out finding a buyer. 

Enjoy
Sandy   

A good Wednesday Morning HELLO to EVERYFRIEND🦋🦋

Feeling a bit nostalgic the past couple of days after my SIL'S passing.  Without a doubt she is in a better place....no more worries, no more pain 🌹🌷🥀

SHIRLEY, I do wish you could find a buyer for your motor home so you could get as much as possible out of it.  You have already taken such a hefty hit on it.  We, actually I, continue to look at smaller units that still have all the bells and whistles on them, and it looks like something I would like to do, but Bob is pretty much apposed to doing anything in that line now, so think I will just quite wasting my time.  I do hope you can get something going on a van that will work out well for you.  We would have to have anything we might buy stored somewhere and it is not easy to find places that are not clear across town.  I still have to say it again, I would loved to have had your Rialta.

GLORIA, how nice that you will have a nice Sheppards Pie for your meal today.  It really saddened me to read that your grandsons did not bother to call their dad on Father's Day.  Shame on them😩😢

Yesterday we decided to go to Pappadeauxs for our meal.  I have been so hungry for shrimp.  We sat on the patio on an area that is built out over the sidewalk.  No one within 12 feet of us.  It was delightful and we felt very safe. 

I wish you all a good rest of your day.

Jenny

I'm off to bed and I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy, healthy tomorrow.  And may God bless us, every one!

well you all have said all the good wishes, so i just condole ditto, good night and sweet dreams. see you all tomorrow.

Lloyd

Good morning everyone, 65 already and will climb after the sun wakes up. Oh I am happy with this AC, keeps me comfortable in here and in the evening I turn a fan on pointing into the bedroom and it is nice and cool in there when I get into bed. No more sleeping on the couch at night. Got the sheperds pie made yesterday and is so good. Yvette is a good cook. I have some in the Freezer, too. I like making thing that freeze good so I have something to take out and put in the microwave.

Got some rain yesterday along with some thunder. rained hard enough to get my windows all wet but don't think it lasted 10 minutes.

JANE  you sure had a busy day yesterday. No wonder I missed you. I hope today is more restful for you.

LLOYD  my daughter has been into the uper 90's or just over 100 this week. She said it isn't  too bad with no humidity and always a breeze. Nights cool off so sleeping OK. Heat does not bother my SIL, he lived in San Die go all his life till they moved to Arizona 3 years ago.

PHYLLIS wonderful seeing you this morning. Hope to see you here more often if only to say hello. We do worry when someone is missing.

JENNY  my daughter was disgusted with both sons not getting in touch with their father. The youger one it is not surprising but the older one usually remembers all the special days. My SIL never says much about it but bet it bothers him.

AMY  did you sleep late today?

Hope all the missing ones show up today.

Have a good day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  It's in the mid 50s right now and only heading for 80 today. Not too bad!  Yesterday was beautiful!  It only got up to 80 and there wasn't a lot of sun and a nice cool breeze all day. 

I did a lot of catching up yesterday...some jobs that didn't get done the day before and some missed sleeping.  I feel all caught up on the sleeping.

I'll be taking off for the berry patch soon because the red and black raspberries are both coming in and I need to get some.  I love being out in the fields. It so calm and peaceful. 

And now it almost time for the boinger and breakfast.  The I'll have to hurry and get dressed to take Mickie for a walk.  So I'll wish you all a lovely day!  Make it your own in every way!

And don't forget to share it with your friends here!

Good morning everyone..

 What a difference  in the weather, temp is 54° F at the moment. Great weather for working in. We had light  rain yesterday  not a lot but any amount is appreciated.
We had a  fantastic day yesterday.....we did get into Costco.....left here at 6.00 am stopped at Walmart to pick up boots for our neighbour  and we were at Costco 7.45 am and they were just letting people in! We didn't have to wait in line just grab a buggy and go! We packed the van with not only our items but some for the neighbour also. On the way home I nipped into the dollar store and picked up 20 boxes of canning lids.now I am good to go in that department.  Came home and the mail lady drove in and she had our tea from New Brunswick.  The phone rang and it was the lady that does my hair and the shop is opening  June 30th and she gave me a July 7th appointment to get my hair done....last cut was Nov 2019. Tis time!!

Today, is doing jobs that didn't get done yesterday. I do have the fixings for 6 week muffins so may mix that up .

Gloria,  shepherds pie is comfort food to me, always tasty. Everything in one dish and clean up is so easy. We are having cool weather, too bad all the wood is piled as this would be great weather to do it in.

Jenny,that would be so special to be able to have a sit down meal out. Restaurants here are slowly  opening. You can always get take out but now some have patios and you can enjoy a meal out.

Phyllis, great to see you..hope each day is better for you.

Jane, goodness you were on the go. Hope you could relax after taking Mickie to the vet.

Better get

Enjoy your day everyone ...stay safe.

  Good morning Jane, you popped in on me..

Gloria we have you beat we a we are already at 68º and saying we are going to upper eighty's or low 90"s. In my younger days I worked over a coal fired forge and anvil Hammering plow shears sharp. thought nothing about that. and later in life i bought a bulldozer and worked daylight to dark, then two wet years too wet to get in much dosser work so put my lowboy truck to work hauling over the road. and in those days was not watched like the truck drivers are now, so we drove for days without sleep. Nancy fusses at me for spending so much time on the couch, i tell here I paid my dues back then and we have plenty $$$ for our  food and other needs. Have a great day.

Lloyd

BOY!!! Everyone must have been heat-beat today!  No one's been in here since 7 a.m. this morning!  It was a beautiful day here today.  The sun was shining and the temp got up to 81 but it didn't feel hot out.  Mickie and I went for a walk after lunch at about 1:30 or so and there was a nice breeze and it certainly didn't feel hot out!  Some guys were putting new siding on a house down the street and they weren't even sweating!  I could take a whole summer like today!

Had a long talk with my sister tonight and she's still hurting but starting to cope.  She's tough so she'll work it out!  She just feels so alone right now and that hurts!

I'm of to Dreamland in a few minutes!  I wish Everyfriend a peaceful night's sleep and a happy, healthy tomorrow.  And may God bless us, every one!

Good evening. 

JANE, I have not been able to get in here all day long.  Maybe the reason for so few posts. I have thought about your sister a lot knowing she is having to adjust to this new life without her mate😩. Now I worry about my brother as he is going through the same thing.  Right now he has a lot going on but as soon as all the arrangements are made and the funeral is done, it will hit him like a ton of bricks.

AMY, I can honestly tell you our getting to eat out the other day made such a positive boost in my spirits....it was wonderful.  One of the few sort of normal things we have done in a long time😘. Happy to read that your Costco run went well.  Seems your whole day was a positive.  Our beauty shops are open but I am still apprehensive of being in that close contact with someone.....but I will need to do it soon as my hair is becoming pretty much non manageable.

I keep getting one call right after the other, so I best get this posted. 

Have a good rest of your evening.

Jenny

The site was down from at least noon CST this morning, and just now came back up. I had emailed some folk to report, and they in turn, reported it to the correct people.
Jane, tell me about your visit to the doctor and Kinesiologist.  You can PM me.

Good morning everyone..

Yay , we are back up and running. Thank you for fixing the problem !!

Meeting friends this morning to exchange goodies then home to work. Still have weeds to deal with  that didn't get done yesterday. Need to bake bread today also.

Love this cooler weather but we know it is not going to last. Fry time will be back on the weekend.

Jenny ,just read that a nail salon opened to the east of us and 3 people (workers) tested positive. Where I go to get my hair cut is only allowing 3 people in..and in between each person  they wipe everything down.

Enjoy your day everyone ....stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I didn't realize that we were down yesterday.  I guess that's the reason for so few posts.  You're all forgiven for not showing up!

I got up this morning to 61º and just a tad chilly!  We're headed for 84 with 88% humidity!  I think it might feel like summer today!

I have one thing on tap for this morning.  Frankie is picking me up and taking me to the Farmstand before she goes to work at noon.  It's right across the street from the the drive-in restaurant where we usually celebrate my birthday but didn't this year.  If we have time, I might just grab a fish sandwich and French fries for lunch!  I have a craving!

JENNY, I hope your Brother has a chance to recover and get on with his life.  It's not easy when they've been together so long.

AMY, how does your garden grow?  Do you have any pumpkin blossoms?  My tomato plants already have blossoms on them!

Tomereader, I'm going back and send you a PM

I hope you all have a lovely day!
Make it your own in every way!

And don't forget to share it

Good morning everyone, 68 already going to be another too warm day here but with lower humidity. I can take that. Yvette tried to get me outside yesterday but with all that bright sun and black pavement I asked her  if she was  eady to call 911. I cannot take the bright  and hot sun, I get dizzy  in it. The older I get the worse it seems. Maybe I should send for one of those hats they avertise on TV that keep your head 20 degrees cooler.

JANE  for more than a week after I get off here I have been laying on the couch and having almost a 4 hour nap. Yesterday I didn't and felt good all day but fell asleep when my head hit the pillow last night. When you are in the field picking those berries have a few for me. Yummy, going to make some seedless jam? Love it but the ones with seeds get into my teeth and it take s most of the day to get them out. Between the brush and the floss it gets to me.

AMY  glad you got all your errands done and got to Costco before the crowd. Yesterday I asked Yvette if she wanted to try the shepherds pie she mad  and she said yes. I gave her a casserple and to her to take what she wanted and she put it in the microwave. Said it was very good. Heck she did most of the work for it.  I have 4 somall casse roles in the freezer  for a quick meal in the future. I sure cannot eat all that is in the fridge.

LLOYD  my oldest son was a welder before he retired, must have been awfully hot job in the summer  months. He could always take the heat better than me.

JENNY and AMY  I am glad my DIL comes here to cut my hair. She does better than some of the hair  dressers I had over the years. A few here asked me if she would do their hair but I tell them she only does it for family. My son and their sons have not been to a barber.

JANE  with humidity as high as you said you wil have today I would not go out of the house.

Have a good day and stay safe.

I was another frustrated yesterday with trying to get in & being turned away. Checked  e-mail but nobody sent to say they couldn't get in so I kept busy. Every time that happens I'm afraid we will lose each other forever.

Feels scalding hot already this morning. Son hasn't brought his camper back to put in my spare garage. He also had tire trouble on the way back from CO so extra work to get the camper back in running shape. Looks like the people across the street are doing the garage sale again today, they closed early yesterday afternoon, was SO HOT to be sitting outside.

Cats fed so my turn now. Need to get more stuff out of the RV, I do believe all that stuff grows while in there. 

Jane & Jenny, sincere sympathy for what your family members are going through with new losses. My sister-in-law called last night, widow of the brother that died earlier this spring. We were friends long before she married my brother so always plenty to talk about. She had a frustrating day going to the grocery store. Some people do go out of their way to be hateful during these stressful times and especially hurtful to people that are timid.

Wishing all of you a happy day, 'tis near the end of June, much too hot & dry but nothing is "NORMAL" this year. Hugs to all. Gloria, I'd love to know how you made your shepherd's pie.... that was not something my mother made & sounds like I'd love it. I love to eat.... 

I was relieved to be able to get in here today.  Nice to see you all again.

Like the rest of you...hot and humid here today but no rain. 

Not too much to say.  I haven't been any where, don't plan to go any where either so nothing to talk about.  David picked up the groceries yesterday so we are well stocked once again.  I got most of what I ordered, or a  reasonable substitution, so I was happy.

Take care, All. 

Just stopping by to say "Hi" !

Yes, I tried several times yesterday and then did decide that the site was down. 

Nothing much new in my neck of the woods.  Pretty sunny day now.  Scattered showers could appear anytime in our area. 

I did hear that a very good friend of mine fell and broke her femur bone.  She is almost 95 and did not use a walker.  So, I am not surprised that she fell.  I had been expecting it for a long time, but she said her doctor didn't think she needed one.  Crazy !!!  She was being transferred to a hospital down closer to the city.  They do have a great orthopedic program there, so, hopefully, she will get along good.  Nobody could go with her in the ambulance to the hospital because of the virus thing. And, I doubt if she will be able to have any visitors.  Feel really bad for her.

I was up early to get the trash out, and fell back to sleep and slept until almost 11.  So, I had breakfast and lunch together.  It will make for a short day. 

Gloria, if I can get to one of the farmer's market's, I will look for the tomato jam and will send you a jar.  Just don't hold your breath waiting. LOL.  But, I will keep it in mind if and when I get to one of the markets.

Jenny, your outside dinner sounds wonderful.  There are several places near me that have outside dinning, and I am really anxious to go.  I so miss being able to go out to eat.  And, I di like to sit outside and eat.  I have been thinking about asking my son and DIL if we can go soon.

I want to read for a little bit, and then get a shower and get dressed.  Hopefully, I will still have time to go down and sit outside for a little while before supper.

Hi to all the other friends   Have a good afternoon.

Joy

Jane ,garden is doing great!! Beans are starting to flower out and you should see the growth on the pumpkins!!  I did get some weeding done today after laundry and bread making but need to do more in the cooler evening or early morning. Took a loaf of bread over to Floyd and  his wife gave me some powder to make dill pickles!! I am not a fan of dills but Kyle sure is so I hope to make  some this summer.
We are waiting on a fellow to come and pick up another trug for a lady. She really likes these and may want 2 more later!!

Great to see the posts after yesterdays famine

I'm just about to head for the hills!  I mean the ones that have pillows and blankets.  I'm kind of dragging tonight.  I don't know why because I didn't do much today.  I guess it was "just one of those days". 

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

And may the gardens keep growing and the trugs keep moving out!

Well I am going to go take a shower and take my night time pills and my shot.Nancy has already gone to bed. I got my hair cut today just barley before having to start paying dog tax. good night and sweet dreams everyone see you all tomorrow.

Lloyd.

This was a fun day......Mark and Jonah came to visit while mommy was out with a friend.  We had lunch and Jonah had a nice nap while Bob,  Mark and I had a wonderful time chatting.  Just as they were leaving a terrible storm hit but luckily we were on the edge of the worse of it, so were spared the heavy wind, rain and hail.

AMY, they did have terrible hail at Michele's home today and I am sure hoping her garden did not get too much damage. 

JOY, I do hope you will be able to get out with your family soon to enjoy a nice meal. Sadly, I think we all better do what we can soon, as I am afraid we are headed back to another quarantine due to so many throwing caution to the wind and the numbers are on the rise. I hope not.....but??

SHIRLEY, I am sorry that your sil had a stressful experience at the grocery store.  Now that traffic has picked up we have noticed there seems to be a lot of aggressive drivers out there.  These are some pretty sad and stressful times we are dealing with now.

GLORIA, I am glad your DIL is there for you with getting your hair cuts also.  That is wonderful.

I wish you all a good night of rest and a good Saturday for you all.

Jenny

Good Morning Everyfriend!  Cathy reminded me yesterday that our local Farmers Market is now open on Saturday Mornings.  They used to be open only on Wednesdays.  I was thinking of going over to see what they have since my car is in the driveway and Frankie is in my spare bed.  But it's raining now and the prediction is for rain all day.  I guess I'll see what goes.

JENNY, how nice to have a visit with Jonah and his daddy!  \

Our boinger just went off and I have two doggies to feed this morning.  Since whenever Frankie is here, Cooper is here, too and he lines up with Mickie right behind me in the kitchen as soon as I take the dog food out of the fridge.  So....

I wish you all a pleasant day!
Make it your own in every way!

And don't forget to share it with your friends....that would be US!

Good morning everyone..

Over cast here this morning ,sure hope there is some rain I those clouds.

Laundry  day today after I take Kyle into town. I also want to get something??? that would keep the beets from blocking out the sun on the carrots........maybe a roll of edging if it is tall enough.?? Will have to look and see what is available.

Would like to get some sewing in also..

Jenny, I also think this is going to come around again so we have been stalking up on different items. A friend came out of the grocery store yesterday and said where are all the cake mixes?? I bet your heart smiled with having Mark and Jonah there.

Jane, the market is opened up north of here but only allowed to sell baked goods and I think vegetables too. My friend can't take her quilts   The trug was picked up with orders for Spring..a total of 3 more for the two of them.

Enjoy your day everyone...stay safe..

 

Good morning everyone, 68 already, sun is shining but rain is in the forecast for most of the day with thunderstorms at any time. Seems like that is the forecast for the next few days. We need ran but keep the Tstorms away.

SHIRLEY  since I never seem to get back after posting in the morning I did not know the site was down. I think we all dread S&F closing us out like SN did to us. That was dirty. Shepherds pie is easy to make.  Hamburg. mashed potatoes and cans of cream corn. Brown hamburg  mash poatoes. put meat in of flat oven caserole, put mashed potatoes over meat, top with cream corn and bake. Season meat  as it browns with anything you want. Easy and tasty. Freezes good, too. Not really a pie.

PHYLLIS  like you I don't go anyplace and in this hot humid weather I do not go outside and walk around in the sun. No shade to be had in the paved area here.

JOY  we have a farmer's market close to here but I have never gone to it. The few who have said the prices were too high. Been almost a year since I have been in a restaurant. Thank you, I appreciate the thought but I really don't eat jam anymore.

AMY  looks like Keith is going into business of making Trugs. Bet he could keep busy making and selling them.

JANE  know what you mean about being worn out at the end of the day. I cannot do much of anuything but boy I cannot wait to get into bed at night and head to dreamland.

LLOYD  hope you slept great last night.

JENNY  I know you are so happy to see  Jonah more often now. I have not seen my little great grand since Christmas. My grandson calls and I do get to talk to him but not like the hugs he gives me or his sparkling eyes. Growing up in a family of girls and one brother the girls learned to cut each other's hair.

JANE  we are in for rain later this morning and for the rest of the day. I do no thing interesting but manage to gab most days.

AMY  like you I think this virus is gong to get much worse because so many are not taking precautions.  Yvette is telling me to keep getting things I use often because when it come back the store shelves will be empty again. Wish I had room in here to store things.

Have a good day everyone and stay safe.

Good Morning everyone. Yes Gloria I slept very sound an in too much Just got up a few min ago. we had a good little rain shower 3/4" and lot of thunder claps. it is 71º and calling for 88º  today. have a good day everyone.

Lloyd
