I have a bad cold with awful cough. I am working on the new page for tomorrow. You will excuse me if it is opened a little late: I am not sure I'll wake up in the wee hours.

So sorry, Bubble, do take care of yourself & I've been told "sleep is the best medicine". We are not in a rush to change pages.  If your weather is as crazy as ours it is impossible to know how to dress. This week we had 80 degrees & this morning I see snow flakes floating down, enough to cover the grass carpet around the pool! Are you sure you didn't catch Gloria's cold? 

Looks like March is going out like a lion, and my forsythia just started blooming YESTERDAY! If the snow sticks on the forsythia branches should make a pretty pic when it gets light out.

I'm off to eat my breakfast, cats had their bowl of milk, have to get them a special kind so they don't throw it up. Each is now sitting on or by a furnace vent, spoiled babies.

Good morning...

Not nice outside this morning and may get worse. First we had snow that turned to rain and it is still raining. We have an appointment to take Babe to the vets but will wait and see how the morning goes......may cancel and remake. The trip is north and a lot of hills to go up an down and if it freezes it will not be a fun drive.

Bubble, take good care of you!! We can wait and Shirley is right...sleep is the best medicine.

Shirley, how old are your cats now? I don't blame them for snuggling up by the heat.

Gloria, same goes to you to please take care and get lots of rest.

Better get on with the day.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

For those with air fryers Patricia has posted a LOT of great recipes over in "What's For Dinner"

Not nice here this morning either. Cold and rainy.
I'm up and about early today because I have the City's Water Department man coming to fix my Water Meter. The device that sends the info to the City is not sending it, I don't want them to send an "Estimated" bill. Those always seem to be higher than they should be.
Fast recovery for those with Colds. Don't forget it is the start of the Allergy season.

Good morning, everyone.
BUBBLE  seems like colds are going around here. I have one . the first since living here for 8 years. All I want to do is sleep but  keep sneezing and grabbing another tissue, and coughing in between. The CNA coming today says  she has allergies and keep her mask on.

AMY  I am not missing, I know where I am. Have to send CNA to the store for more tissues, just opened my last box. Sure have to keep them in the house.

Gee my printer is an HP and old at least 10 years and had 1 black and 1 color cartridge My daughter has one with a bunch of cartridges because she prints out a lot of the pictures she takes and makes them into cards. I look forward to the cards she sends me. She is artistic. For Christmas she paints a photo that her sons ask for. He oldest son is getting quite a collection on the walls of his. house, Don't know about the other son, he and his wife have an apartment and he never sends any pictures.

JANE  looks like you and Craig had a great time talking together. If I spent time with my one SIL it would be me talking, he is very quiet.

PATRICIA  I like this blueberry pie much more than the regular 2 crust pie. Getting the raw berries pop when you bite into them sure is a burst of flavor.

AMY  I wonder how that pie would be with the black raspberries, I do like those better than the red ones. I will not do another strawberries until local berries are being picked I do like the smaller ones even if it is more work getting the stems out.

SHIRLEY  thanks at least colds do pass after they run their course.

Think I will see if the couch will be cozy enough for me to have a nap before the CNA gets here.

Have a good day and stay safe,

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I slept like a log in a haystack last night!  Got in bed around 11 and never woke up until 6:05 this morning! 

We're supposed to have an "off-and-on rainy day today with temps in the mid 40s.  I can live with that...just have to make sure we take our walks between the rain storms. 

I'm going to be really alone this weekend.  Everyone will be at Daniel's wedding and there is NO family left in town!  I do have the couple across the street and they are going to be home.  I asked them!  It will be strange not to have ANY family in town.  That's a newbie for me!

I hope the people with the colds get relief!  And I hope the storms pass over those who are expecting them and I hope the thaw reaches Alaska slowly enough to avoide any emergencies but fast enough to bring Spring!

RAMMEL, maybe you and I should trade places for a while.  You could come here and go through my stuff and get rid of what I having a hard time getting rid of and I could come over there and get rid of stuff you can't get rid of.  Might work pretty well!  Other people's "stuff" doesn't mean the same as our own "stuff"!

Now I'm off to chuch some more papers and tidy up the pictures!  I need a new photo album before I can really finish that job though!  Oh well!

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

I hope all of you with colds are feeling better today.  I don't have a cold but the pollen count is so high these days I am having a hard time trying to keep from sneezing, coughing, and, worst of all....getting rid of the headaches that always plague me because of allergies.  I like Spring but it is a miserable time for me and Fall is the same way.  I don't know who it was that gave me so many allergies.  I think it was my Father.  And, unfortunately, I turned around and passed them down to both of my sons.  Luckily, they don't seem to hold it against me.

Take care, feel better, stay well, All.

P.S. I sent you a PM, Bubble.  I hope you seriously think about my suggestion.

Good Morning Everyone.
It is suppose to get warmer and
dryer here on the Rocky Coast...
But the wind changes everything. 

Like others on here,  I
have the urge to do deep spring
cleaning and throwing away things
that I never use, only look at. 

It must the season !! 

I hope that everyone is haveing
a good day..

Sandy

A good Thursday HELLO to EVERYFRIEND 🌷🌷  Not much excitement around here.....another day at the grands house🥰🥰  My surgeon did call me yesterday morning.....he talked to a nerve doc and they both are encouraged that I can eventually get my movement back in this arm.....no suggestion though of how to get it done other than time.....this nerve heals at a micro millimeter a day😩😩‼️

JANE, your date with Craig sounded awesome🥰. One on one meet ups are extra special.  I wish you could have joined the family at the wedding this weekend.

Happy to read most have their income taxes done.  We also have ours done and have been accepted by state and the feds👏

I have often said I wish someone else could come and go through my "stuff" and I would do theirs....Bob offers but I know what HE would do with it😩😩😩. Hummmm, seems that is what I am trying to accomplish here‼️

Our spring weather is pretty fickle too.  80° one day and snow the next.  I feel so bad for the poor people dealing with the awful weather.  Yesterday morning a tornado touched down two times a mile from our sons home and the golf course in Springdale Arkansas.  So glad they are no longer there.  It was at four in the morning.....scary time.  It hit a gymnasium and totally destroyed it.....glad no kids were there. 

Sorry to read about colds and allergies.....miserable, both of them.
Have a wonderful day, EVERYFRIEND 🌷🌷

Jenny

Good morning from the Interior! Same place, weather, and lack of activities. We have just ended 24 months of a total lockdown of the city and this apartment building. This borough was low at first, and then we ended up high with the influx of people moving through on their way to the Bering Sea and fishing jobs and being their time off's destination.

We stayed high risk for most of the last nine months, so joining the rest of the state with a low risk was quite a heralded accomplishment. Masks and social distancing are still practiced and enforced in stores or this building.

Although it's not strictly enforced in the open malls. Taxis and buses have plexiglass barriers and do enforce the rules. The bus station reopened last month and finally removed the portapotties they had set up outside.

I'm not sure about the businesses needing personal contacts such as barbers, hairdressers, or dentists; I know it has long been medical emergencies only. Many of the smaller companies may not reopen at all. At one time, I kept to the smaller ethnic groceries for better service, products, and prices.

One time, a South Vietnamese business owner had her son carry my groceries home for me, and he refused a tip! I will be very sad if the Asian, East Indian, and South American businesses do not reopen. They were a thriving part of this city and its cafes, restaurants, barbers, tailors, and other small businesses.

I'm very sorry to hear about all the colds and muscle aches and pains due to the changeable weather. Unfortunately, it looks to be worse for you going into the weekend weatherwise. Our weather is expected to remain the same, a slow, steady climb and about ten to twelve degrees colder than in the Southeast part of the state.

And Bubble, I saw a report a couple of days ago where it was said "the flu" is on an uprise, just the plain old flu, that everyone should have had a shot for back in the Fall.  Along with allergies, that may be a cause for all the "cold symptoms" everyone seems to be having. Stay well, take care of yourself.

I'm just about to hit the haystack again tonight.  My eyes are about to enter slam shut mode and I'm tired, too.  We had pouring rain most of the day today and Cooper and I took several walks in it.  The first two it was just starting or slowing down but the last one it poured on us.  When we got back, he got a towel rubdown, a combing and a another rubdown.  I got out of my clothes and into my jammies.

JENNY, the news from your Dr. was slow but sure, it sounds like.  I sure home it's speedier that they think it will be.  Keep doing whatever they say will help.  Don't give up.  When I broke my arm 2 years ago the Dr. said I probably would never be able to raise my are straight up over my head again but I would have good use.  That was when we were on checkups on our phones because of the COVID shutdown.  I broke it in the end of March.  On our late May checkup, he asked me to show him how high I could raise my arm.  It went over my head!  He should never have said I would never do it again.  I was determined to prove him wrong!  I bet you have the same determination!  Show him!

I hope everyone with colds is feeling better and Spring has Sprung where y'all live!  I wish you a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow.  And may God bless us, every one!  And may He watch over the Ukrainians!

Darn!  I forgot to say something.... AMY, I checked out the recipes today and copied some down then checked to see what ingredients I had.  I made the "Easy Hobo Supper" and it was sooooo good!  I put it in my saved recipes!  It's a keeper!

I am having a good time tonight
watching Bridgeton on Netflix !

Oh how I would like to have lived
(for spell, only) during that ERA.

So many Balls   and dancing.. 
This series is good,  IMHO and fun
to watch .. 


Sandy

Sandy, I thoroughly enjoyed the early '50s, music we could sing along with & all kinds of fun dancing. We had a huge middle & high school combo, 7 elementary schools dumped into the 3 story 8th-12th grade. At that time there was a Catholic school system & a "Colored" school system. In MY mind there was no prejudice, that was just how it was. When I went to a class reunion (luncheon) this past summer I still felt like I was in a room full of the nicest people that ever lived. So few left .... I was sure I was the luckiest person in the world because I was happy with what I had & never wished for what anyone else had. Couple of my best friends parents were millionaires & a couple of us were "railroad brats", some got everything they asked for and some of us didn't ask. Sounds pretty corny (expression of that era).... we had our formal dances, some of us made our own formals & proud of our creations. It all boils down to making the best of the hand we are dealt, no matter what anyone else has. For sure I'd have enjoyed those balls with you, but happy I lived the years where & when I did. 

Sweet dreams & God Bless and wishing all a happy tomorrow.
