G'Morning all. I thought you might like this one (i hope), sorry about the scaffold around and inside of the Cathedral but, thats what they do when conservation work takes place, a shame the visit took place at the wrong time, it would have been nice to see the ceiling, perhaps they will make another visit ?.

Good morning everyone.

I made up for lost sleep yesterday and as hubby would say I really pounded the pillow!! Overcast here this morning with a temp of 44° so far.

A day of rest today, I do need to make a pot of soup for tomorrow but that is about it. Neighbour just called and we are now looking after the dog and cat for them.


Callie, I agree with you. Every time I hang laundry out I think of Hal hanging his out on the line thingy. Plus I do miss the banter between you two.


Roley, thank you for sharing another lovely trip with us.


Better go get ready to meet the day.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Thank you very much for the birthday greetings!  I almost forgot that it was THAT day again until I saw the card from David that was waiting for me when I got up.  Heard from family and friends and that was so enjoyable.  A nice, quiet day.  It was a rainy day so we did not go out for a birthday dinner.  Maybe today.  I was given two gift cards for one of the restaurants near me (Red Robin) so perhaps we'll use them today.

Shirley, I haven't been back to Ottawa since my mother died in 1990.  I doubt that I would recognize anything there now.

Good Sunday morning, everyone.

I was up around 6 and decided to just stay up.  I have already had breakfast, done my exercises, took my meds and stopping by here to say Good morning,

Amy,  I don't have much  planned for today.  I need to take some mail down to go out tomorrow and that is just about all I have planned, so far.,

After I take a shower and get dressed, I will read for a while.  And, I am sure along the way, some zzzzz's will show up. 

Hope everyone will have a good day,

Good morning everyone, cloudy to start the day but will clear so says the weather guesser. Several things going on around the state. Big parade in Providence to celebrate Columbus day. Will end in Federal Hill, a section that was all Italian at one time, still many popular restaurants there. One city has their Autumn fest this week end and another town has a big Art festival over the weekend. People from all over the country display their work there. For me these days it is just another day. No more going to parades unless they are on TV, that art festival is always too crowded and parking is a nightmare. Last time I went there was at least 25 years ago. These days I am content to stay home.

PHYLLIS  Happy Belated Wishes.

Sorry for not replying again this morning. Have a good day.

Hi Everyone.  It is going to be another lovely day here in South Carolina and it is suppose to stay in the mid to upper 80's today.  Our main activity will be attending Church.  I will go to Sunday School and then come back and get Pat for Church.  We will go somewhere to eat out.  We are having only one Church service today as it is World-Wide Communion Sunday and this service will be in the Fellowship Hall and be a blended service.  Yesterday was a very busy morning but got accomplished all that I had listed I planned to do yesterday.  I did watch college football and the teams I follow all won. 

I will make only a couple of comments this morning as have a short time before I need to leave for Church. 

Happy belated Birthday Phyllis. 

Callie, when I saw the Texas/Oklahoma score I thought of you and the bets you used to have with Hal.  I also miss him here in our discussions. 

Lloyd, I was watching the Missouri/South Carolina game from your area and they played a lot of that game in heavy rain and had a couple of rain delays because of lightning in the area. Did you get the storm and heavy rains?  Hope you can finally get to pick up your motor home today. 

Shirley, I would shudder in having to fill such a large gas tank as you have on your motor home. 

Amy, I don't think you had mentioned that yesterday was your husbands birthday and if you did I just missed noting it.  Anyway, Happy Birthday to him and with his health situation I just bet he really appreciates each birthday that comes around.   

JaneS

Good Morning Everyfriend!  Like LARRY, I did everything that I had planned to do yesterday....and a couple more things too.  It was a very productive day.  And a tiring one, too.  But it was a GOOD tired, if you know what I mean.

Lots of laundry done and put away; cleaned out tow shelves in my office and refitted them to be easier to find things I need and in the process, I threw away one tall kitchen can full of unnecessary paper.  I found a couple of things that have been hiding and my office a just a bit more efficient now.  There's a long way to go!

Went to church and coffee hour after and had some pretty good discussions.  I always enjoy those discussions! 

I'm another one that misses HAL's rivalry with Callie and just the comments he made to all of us.  He sure was a good-natured soul!

I wonder if LLOYD'S on the way to pick up his motor home!  That's going to be a great big change in his life!

Guess I better get my clothes changed and get to work or I won't be ready for guests.  I'm trying to figure out how to come up with a changing table for the baby.  Bending over a bed isn't much fun.  I think I might have the problem solved but I have to set it up today and see if my thoughts have come together right.  It's been a long time since I've had a baby in the house.  Kiran would have been the last and she'll be 12 in December.

Enjoy your day Everyfriend!  It's yours to do with as your wish but please don't use up all the zzzzs because I have a feeling I'll be looking for some later on!

 JaneS wonder no more we went and got it, It handles as easy as it is good looking and just as clean. we stopped and filled up with diesel fuel on the way home took $125 to fill it @ $3.14 guse will be 8 miles to the galleon. but that will cover the motel bills and extra meals will cover it.

This was a very good day.Got to Church on time, had a good lunch with friends, then off to visit a friend in our care facility. She had a shoulder replacement two weeks ago. I saw her once, then I got sick, so it was great to see her today...she is healing nicely, tho with some discomfort. Came home and took a good snooze. Now I have cleaned my coffee maker with vinegar....it needed it !

I am home for the rest  of the day.  I did go down for the music last evening, and i did do one solo dance....when he plays "pretty woman" my body has to get up and move Didn't do any damage and I had a good sleep last night.

Now it's time to think about something for supper....something light..I had a big ham dinner at lunch time.

I pray you all have a peaceful night and a happy healthful tomorrow. Hugs, Love. and prayers, always. June
As long as we are here, let's dance.

JaneS

JUNE, you sound like your old self today.  I'm so happy to hear your report of your day.  It means you enjoyed it.  YAY!!!

LLOYD!  YAY!! to you, too.  You're now a gentleman of leisure.  You can go where you wish and be a free spirit.  What does Nancy think or her new rolling home?  I wish you many years of pleasure with your new toy!  Drive carefully!

I'm off to bed now.  Tomorrow is a work day and the zzzs were elusive today.  Or maybe I wasn't looking in the right places.  Or maybe you guys used them all up before I got there.  Whatever happened, I'm ready to hit the hay.  I wish you God's love and a peaceful night.  I'll see you all in the morning....I hope!

Just wanted to check in and tell you that we are home.  We were up at 4 AM EDT for our 6:40 flight.  It is good to be home, but we left a beautiful day in Boston to come home to a dreary cold day!  There was measurable snow at Denver International Airport this morning!  Ugg, I am not ready for winter weather.  After all the beautiful trees in Boston, it makes Denver look so desolate🤣

Dr. Dave and Family have just departed for a week in London.  They are all so excited?  Their plane was delayed for over one hour.  They will get there mid afternoon tomorrow so the delay should not cause them any problems. 

I must call it a night....my eyes are about to close up on me.

More tomorrow.

Pleasant dreams to all.

G'morning all. just a quick 'look in' and add a little note for Denver RE-Dr Dave and Family, the weeks weather forecast for the southern half of England was for fine dry weather, with the warmest day on Wednesday (Forecast to be the warmest October day for the past 40 years !) then  turning colder and wet by next weekend but, we all know what weather forecasters are like !, :thumbup:, this morning (Monday) fine clear, temp at the moment around 19c, (local 9-20AM), hope they enjoy their visit.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  We're up!  The doggies have been out and are waiting for the boinger for breakfast.  I'm having coffee and fighting a dive bombing mosquito that must have followed us in.  He's being relentless and I've already slapped myself in the head three times and on both arms and my neck twice!  I wish he'd take the hint!

I'll be off to Wally World this morning at 9.  Wish me smiles and short lines. 

Enjoy your day Everyfriend.  Make it your own in every way.  Do whatever pleases you most!

Good early morning.

I have been awake since around 4, and finally got up around 5.  I have had breakfast and wanted to just make an appearance.

June,  so glad to hear that you must be feeling better.  You were busy yesterday and that makes me happy.  Glad you got to visit your friend and that you were able to get up and dance.   Now, just keep feeling better and better each day.

Lloyd, happy that you were able to go and get your "new home".   Wishing you many happy years as you travel around the country.

Jenny, I know you are happy to be home, even tho, you came home to the cold dreary day.   I know it was good to be able to sleep in your own bed again.

Jane,  hope you have an easy day at work today.  Maybe you will get a chance later today to catch up with your nap.   I am sure I will find one sometime today, too.

Today will be the last day for the OT to come.   Then, I think on Thursday,  I will be re-evaluated and hopefully, be discharged.   Then,, only  one nurse visit and 1 PT visit this week and  hopefully, next week will be the end of all the home visits.   They have done a good job getting me back to being on my own. 

Hope everyone will have a good Monday.

Hi Everyone.   It is another clear morning on this Columbus Day here in the USA with the temperatures to stay in the low 80's and isolated Thundershowers this afternoon.  This looks like it could be a pretty wet week here in South Carolina as the projected path of the new Gulf hurricane is expected to come across our whole State.  Yesterday I came home to pick up Pat for Church to find only that her back was hurting her and she decided to stay at home.  She had sent me a text but I hadn't checked it as when I left about an hour earlier she had planned to go.  We did have a very nice blended service and once again nice to be in a congregation of 4 to 5 hundred people.  Then I stopped at Firehouse Subs to get a small sub for me and I waited and waited but wasn't too surprised as I had never seen so many people there ahead of me.  Finally, the shift leader announced they were sorry for the wait but they had a lot of order backed up and were short of staff and if anyone wanted a refund they would gladly return our money.  I did get a refund as they hadn't even started on my order and then stopped at Bogangles to get the chicken nuggets that Pat had wanted and a grilled chicken sandwich for myself along with a side of their coleslaw for each of us. 

Joy, the two online crossword puzzles that I work take you to the clue when you click on the first box of the word so I seldom need to scroll back and forth.  I have done these online for quite a few years now. 

June, you are right that we are fortunate to have known so many people that are no longer with us that were such good online friends for so long.  It sounds like you had a very good day yesterday and even up to dancing to one song.  Way to go!!

Gloria, I am with you in not wanting to get involved with large crowds and have to deal with bad parking situations.  However, when we were younger these things were fun.  It has been several years since I even watched the Rose Bowl Parade.

Jane, it is always nice to get things marked off as done on our to-do lists. 

Lloyd, glad you are so pleased with your motor home.  You make a very good point about the cost of fuel for it versus spending nights in a motel or hotel.  I hope you enjoy your trip to Arizona. 

Jenny, glad you are safely home and hope you two can get rested up.  To bad you came home to measurable snow when you got to the airport.  I hope Dr. Dave and family have a great time in London.  Are the kids out of school this week? 

Roley, nice to read that you are enjoying some pleasant weather.   

JaneS

Hello!  JOY, AMY and LARRY!  No one has been in here since Larry around 9 this morning.  Where is everyone?  I didn't see any of you at Wal-Mart....at least you didn't check out through my line.

I had a really neat experience this morning!  My third customer of the day handed me some sort of makeup item and said, "Can you ring this up and keep it?  When I was unpacking at home, I found this one, "(she was holding an open and used one in her other hand).  She added, "I realized I hadn't paid for it and it's been bothering me all week".  I immediately told her I could do that and then I thanked her profusely for her honesty and told her that she'd made my day!  There are still some honest people out there!

When the others show up, I hope you are having such a good day that you just didn't have time for your computer!  Let the good times roll!

Good evening, on another miserable day, cool and misty. My friend thats leaving for Florida Sunday took me out to lunch. Then we went for and autom drive. The traffic out here was awful Pumpkin picking time.  the farm stands were crowded.

Yesterday I felt extra good, so I covered the chair seats on the wrought  iron set and a little material left over so made two place mats.

June glad to see you were able to get out,

Larry in and other post I see you mention catnip, my Taffy wants nothing to do with it, I always try with a catnip toy at Christmas

Gloria, I am sure you are having this uncomfortable damp day, I wish it would just rain and get it over.  I wore a pant suit to day, everyone said I looked nice. I had to laugh as the suit is 35 years old. When I worked at the hospital we were not allowed to wear slacks, it had to be a pant suite. Every thing had to match

By the way late HAPPY BIRTHDAY wishes to Phyllis. I was not able to get into this post a couple of days

Jenny, glad to see you both home safe and sound.  Nothing like your own bed

Gloria de - in contrast to your miserable day, for the most part we had a very nice day, but it did start to rain around supper time.  We were at 80 degrees and I heard tomorrow it will be 82 degrees.  Unbelievable for this time of year.

Kendrick loves catnip and is often at the drawer where it is kept.  I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't open the drawer some day because he tries to.  Anything I get for him has a bag of catnip and he can smell it even before the package is opened.

Another cool, nice day out here in Stanton. My day started out beautifully. Ordered some groceries on line, and all went well, except instead of bringing them to my Apt. the girl left them at the desk downstairs, and since it was lunch time, no one was available to bring them here. eventually they arrived and I put them away. Feeling very tired today for some odd reason, so just taking it easy.

I want to be well on Wed. to attend my son's Bible study class. I have missed his last one, and the other fellows too. They switch weeks. Our Pastor did two in a row since there were 5 weeks in the month.

No real news from here, I feel extra tired today, so I will close down early. Have a peaceful night and a happy, healthy tomorrow. I love you all. June

Thank you EVERYFRIEND for your nice comments.  It was great to sleep in our own bed, however I loved the guest bed in Boston.  It is actually nicer than ours, which is not always the case.  It is too high for me though, so Bob had to help me get up into it!  Also Kurt’s SUV is high, so Bob had to help boost me up into it!  I do not do well with stairs, so Bob had to help me up them....whooo, wears me out just thinking about it all again! 😂

My Kitty, Smokey, did not leave my side all night long, or all day today.  He is such a sweet boy!

Thank you, Roley, for the weather update in London.  It appears the family will enjoy nice temperatures while they are in the UK.  The pictures they shared today looked like it was a beautiful day there. 

LARRY, yes the grands are on fall break.  They start school quite early here so they can have this break. 

My dad started back at physical therapy again today.  He seems to have some weakness in the new hip area, so they are trying to get it strengthened up.  Other than this, he seems to be doing just fine. 

It is getting late and ain’t am more than ready to say goodnight.

Pleasant dreams to all.

Good morning everyone...

We had a great time yesterday with the kids and their dog. Traffic was picking up by the time they left but they made good time in getting back home. Made two batches of bread and sent two loaves home with them and one over to the neighbour to enjoy.

A thunderstorm plus heavy rains later that evening knocking out the satellite dish many times.

Today I have to take the van in for an oil change and hope to cut the grass, maybe for the last time this year. :) Also have laundry to finish folding or iron .


Jenny, nice to go away but so nice to come home.

June,hope you had sweet dreams and will wake up feeling refreshed for the new day.


Jane,I keep forgetting to ask did you get the oil for the dogs and if so do they like it?


Gloria de, my goodness you were busy ! That is a lot of work covering seats, nice that you had enough material for placemats, that worked out well.

Gloria, hope you feel better today..

Enjoy your day everyone..
