Good Morning Everyfriend!  This will be short because I have a very early dr.s appt this morning.  It's for my regular checkup and I'm not eating or drinking coffee before I go.  I'm thinking of picking up breakfast on the way home. 

AMY, I did get the salmon oil and I don't know if they even know it's there.  According to the directions, they get a spritz twice a day and I just add it to their food.  I've been wondering if its doing what it's supposed to be doing.  If it is, I need to get a bigger bottle the next time. 

I'm off to get dressed while we wait for the boing.  I'll just have time to feed the doggies before I leave.  I don't think I've been out before 8 in a number of years!  It'll be nice to have this done early.

JENNY!  Welcome home!  It's nice to go away and visit with our families but it's nice to come back home, too

Enjoy your day, Everyfriend!  It's yours to do with as you please.

A quick "Good Morning" before I go back to fixing my breakfast.  Woke up about 4:00 am but didn't want to get up yet so just lay there thinking about the last week.  Realized there was no rain on the roof so better give cats their breakfast & let them go out for a short while.  Radar showing another day of almost constant rain & those fur babies are getting fed up, they want out but end up sitting under the round table that gives them shelter from the wet stuff but not the exercise they need.  We need the rain so no complaints, just have to work around it. 

Jenny, so glad your father is doing more physical therapy & willing to work at it.  Sorry you are having problems with the ups & downs and know how difficult to keep up.  I'm noticing my hands are not liking those full days of hanging onto a steering wheel, especially with the Kansas winds.  BUT with the health problems so many at my class reunion are facing, I still feel blessed.  I know how willing you are to do so much traveling.... "hang in there". 

Jane, it does bring up the spirits when someone goes that extra mile to make things right.  I also had a "warm & fuzzy" time on my last trip when I got in the wrong lane in Kansas City, had even been watching for the problem.... road work, got caught a couple years ago near the same spot (some road work goes on for years, right?)... anyway, the detour signs did NOt show which lane would get me to the highway I needed & OOPS, too late... & after getting off & thinking I could just circle around & hop back on & take the other lane, I gave up after half an hour or so & put down my window to get the attention of a couple "kids" in the car next to me.... asked how to get back on that highway & they yelled the name of the street & even pulled in front of me to wave out the window where I should turn.  They also made the turn & waved me to where to get back on to the highway.  I think they were being extra kind to help the old lady, I really was way south of where I thought I was.  I smile every time I think of their friendly helpfulness.

Amy, my grass didn't get cut last week & should have been trimmed yesterday but really doesn't need it... almost looks like it shrunk.  Can it do that?  I used my battery weed whip/trimmer last week & cut off the weeds that outgrew the mums by the sidewalk... think that is all it will get until my lawn guy can do one last tidy up.  I think he might be able to mow/mulch & bag the leaves one time before winter takes over.  I do get out & rake leaves away from the fences so the mower can pick up, but also bag some myself.  Not my favorite thing to do but one way to keep fit, I am basically lazy & have to push me.

My grandson with the Crohn's problem is still getting more tests. Doctors thought he could control until after their 2nd honeymoon to Hawaii, but another flare up has him going for even more tests.  They had plane fare & all the extras taken care of so not sure how much would be lost if he has to have surgery first.  My understanding the doctors can refuse to allow him to fly it is so serious, & each round of tests shows a different issue.  This week will be the final decision, so sad to watch their dream trip fall apart but pray the surgery can be done & trip postponed to be enjoyed later.... my opinion is they would not relax to enjoy all the activities planned.... but depends on understanding by all those people involved.

Starting to rain again so cats are just sitting under the table but don't want to come back inside yet.... cats don't OBEY like a dog.... when I beg them to "come on in".... they just stare at me & look away, even if I use my stern voice.   ::) >:(

Best wishes for a clean bill of health, Janie.

Good morning everyone, did not  feel good yesterday and never turned on the PC. Dozed on the couch most of the day. Have not been sleeping well last few nights and it caught up to me. Once again last night I had about 4 hours sleep and for me that is never enough, I am used to at least 7 hours every night. The week end and the holiday were dreary days, we did have some light rain Sunday and misty most of yesterday and the dampness has set into my back. Hope my CNA gets here on time today to give me a back massage. Have been up for 3 hours already and time to get my breakfast.
Have a good day.

Gloria, I have found if I don't sleep good for a couple of nights, the next one or two nights, I really sleep good.  Some times I take a nap in the afternoon, but often I am doing something interesting and forget all about it.

Jenny, I have the same trouble getting into high vehicles.  Annie was driving a big truck at one time to take me to an appointment.  I could not get my leg up to the height of the cab floor and we had to find something in my garage for me to step on first.  Recently Tom's former wife (Sue), Annie and I went to lunch and Sue has a SUV that I had trouble getting into. I think I could have made it OK, but Sue pushed on my "little behind" and I was in.  The arthritis in my knees will not pull me up to get in higher places and I do not get on ladders any more, either.  My so-called "golden years" are really my "rusty years".  Oh well, I take what I get and I'm happy so far.

We are to get into the 80s today and it's already 70 degrees.  Mid-August!!!

Good Morning everyone. It is 69º headed for 76º and thunder Storms currently.
short lived but on and on often. well we are up again today to the learning curve of how and what to do with what setting to work in the Motor home, It is the full 8 foot wide that is leagale with. I have drove it enough to know where to view the road and keep it centered in our Owen Lane. it has air ride supposition so rides like a dream. I am up to how to start the generator and AC or heat. Has to have generator to operate them. the generator runs on diesel same as engine that runs the coach. the drive engine is a 300 horse power. no problem moving on down the road. has 80 mph om speedometer and will do it in a heart beat.
On the turnpike in Kansas it 75 MPH  can set the cruse and steer it. Have a great day. Shirley we should have stopped at your place you could showed us just how and what to do. oh well we will figure out some of what to do and stop by when we go to AZ you can teach us or if you come to MO first you are welcome to take time and stop off by and help. Have a great day,

I'm back from the dr and had some breakfast and now I'm ready for my second cup of coffee.  The dr visit went well.  She's pleased with everything except my foot that had the surgery.  The Dr. who did it is retired so I get to pick a new one to have a look at it.  And I don't have to leave town to do that.  And Hallelujah....my blood pressure is back in the GOOD zone.  I think it was up just because of all the stress factors that were going on. 

Gotta get started on my day's activities.  Enjoy yours, Everyfriend!

Hi Everyone.  It looks like we are in for a cloudy 84 degree day with chances of more rain later today.  I checked the radar map this morning from our local TV station and it shows the Hurricane path veering off just a ways to the South of where I live.  However, we do expect some heavy rain as of last nights forecast and some winds.  Each day the picture changes a bit and now it is predicted to start affecting this area late tomorrow afternoon or evening.  It sure looks like it is going to be another bad Hurricane for the Gulf coast but weakening as it makes it way up toward the East Coast.  My main accomplishment for yesterday was to complete the Indexing of the recipes and links to recipes and helpful information for the two cooking discussions in the Homemaking folder.  It was a major job and required a lot of hours and careful attention to detail.  Today I plan on taking it easy but will be meeting with my friend for an hour this morning here at the house.

Jane, I have had a couple of occasions when I got to my car and found something in my basket that hadn't been scanned and so went back into the store and paid for it.  It is embarrassing but was not intentional and could be fixed.  I never object to someone at the door as I leave checking my cart against my ticket.  That doesn't happen very often at our Walmart's but they do it every time with everyone at Costco.  It is always nice to get the doctor appointments over early in the day and especially when you get a good report as it sounds like you had today.

Jenny, Pat was commenting on the height of our bed yesterday but it has to be the height it is so the lifting mechanism can function.  Obviously Smokey missed you while you were away.  Nice that your grands don't have to miss school for the trip to London although I am sure that will be very educational. 

Amy, that bread sure sounds good.  It makes the house smell so good while it is baking.  I think that will just have to remain a memory for me as pretty sure Pat will be making no more homemade bread.  We lost our satellite dish signal for awhile last evening as well due to some short lived rain here. 

Shirley, it sounds like you might need a boat out your way but I expect the rain is welcome.  Glad you had helpful young men who could guide you back to the right road on your recent trip.  It is another example of good people doing good things that help others.  Sure hope your grandson and wife don't have to miss their trip to Hawaii. 

Gloria, sorry that you had a bad day yesterday and haven't been sleeping well.  That sure does a number of us.  Hope the CNA can help you find some relief from the back pain. 

Lloyd, I just bet you will soon figure everything out on your motor home.  It does sound a bit daunting.   

deAngel, nice you could get out for lunch on Sunday with your friend and then take a drive. I hope you have a nicer day today. 

June, it sounds like the grocery delivery girl was taking the easy way out.  I hope you didn't have anything that thawed out while you waited to have the brought up to your apartment.  I hope you will soon have several days in a row where you are feeling good and up to getting out. 

Jane, alwaays


June Drabek

Good Morning dear hearts, I'm staying in today. Feeling sort of blah, so no sense in pushing...and nothing that needs doing. I have a book to return to the library, but tomorrow is another day......Mly son will have his Bible class tomorrow and I sure want to be "fit" for that.

I'm drinking my can of Gator Ade..recommended by my doctor. It does help energy wise, and has plenty of electrolytes, which my body needs.

I wish you all a happy, happy, happy day. June
As long as we are here, let's dance.

Carol

We are in Tucson for a while - our youngest son decided to drive us this year and he then went on to Phoenix and another meeting in NYC - giving a lecture for bankers.  Don and I are in awe of our offspring - our granddaughter is still in college and has been hired by a Think Tank -  I barely know what it could mean.  It would be so fun to sit in on these meetings. 

We have been here a week and it has taken a lot of time - plus car being worked on yesterday.  I can say the cupboard and fridge are both filled and all the house duties are finished.  My sewing is going to be easy stuff right now - the kind where I don't have to "think". 

It looks like we may have a couple of limes on the teeny tree and that would be a treat. 

June:  Your post just arrived - take care and keep drinking that good liquid.  I am trying to sip water all day - children's orders. 


Joy

Good Afternoon.   Just getting here as I had another visit from the PT.   We used walked up and down the halls a couple time.   I can do that now without having to stop to rest.  This will be the last week for her visits.  She is very pleased with how much energy I have now. 

I want to go down to get my mail and maybe sit outside for a little while.

Jane, glad you had a good doctor's visit.  That is always good.  Since I was sick, my blood pressure has been really good.  Before, it wasn't bad most of the time, except when I would go to the doctor's.   It seemed to be up higher than usual when I go there.  Not sure if the Eliquis that I am taking has anything to do with it. 

June, hope that you will be feeling rested and well enough to go down to the Bible study tomorrow that your son will be having.  I know how much you enjoy that. Plus, you will be able to have a visit with him afterwards.   

Larry,  you asked how old my son is going to be???   He is the youngest, and he will be 54.... the middle son was 60 this year,... and the oldest will be 64 in March.  (but of course, I will only be 58 in May. LOL )  ( I wish)

Lloyd,  when we bought our Class A motor home,  my husband got a friend,  who was a Charter Bus driver,  to go out with him a couple times until he got the hang of driving something that big.  I remember one time we were going across country,  we kept seeing signs that if you were wider than so many feet, you would have to take a certain exit before crossing over a bridge (somewhere).  We were just within a foot or two  of the amount they had posted.  I just kept my eyes closed while we went over that bridge.  That was scary.  We have a couple scary experiences like that over the years. 

Gloria,  hope your back felt better after your massage.  Luckily, I have been sleeping so much better and even can get back to sleep when I have to get up during the night.

Gloria de, good for you for  being able to recover a coupe chairs.   I used to do all of my own upholstering and really enjoyed doing it.  I would have rather upholster something than to make a slip-cover. 

Mary Ann,  my son used to bring a small stool with him when he had a bigger truck than he does now.  I used to get to laughing when I would have to try to get in it.  He had a smaller vehicle now and I don't have a lot of trouble.  And, it is easy to get out...........I can just slide out. 

I hope everyone will have a nice rest of the day.

Joy, fortunately it isn't necessary for Annie to take me any place and if she does, she has a car at her disposal.  I get out of vehicles like you do - I slide out.  And Tom has a fit if he knows I do that; he's afraid I'll break a leg.  Well, it wouldn't be the first time!

Joy, I enjoy reading your post.   I went to a yard sale years go and bought a stack of 3  small stools. the one I have under the dinning room table Taffy has claimed it. I told my friend next door if someone takes my cat after I pass. they must take the stool also :) One I keep by my bed, I need it to get on the bed.   The other I use when I go out with someone that has a high car.  I am down to 4 10

Larry bet you are right. got the title today in the mail. so tomorrow when Nancy goes to her doctor appointment I will take her and drop her off and take the Kansas title to dept of revenue and apply for the MO. title. hope I have enough money for the sale's tax.  Have a great rest of the day.

Denver

Good evening.  Another cold and dreary day here in the Mile High.  We have had snow flakes off and on all day, but none are sticking. 

We have been watching the weather reports on Hurricane Michael with great concerns as he is headed for Bob’s hometown of Panama City Beach Florida.  It appears this storm is going to be a devistating one. 

GLORIA, I hope your CNA gave you the back massage and you are feeling better tonight. 

CAROL, I assumed you had left for Tucson.  You got out of here in good time as it has turned pretty nasty out there.  I sure hope we do not get any measurable amount of snow as the trees for the most part have not even begun to loose their leaves. 

LLOYD, I hope you were able to get your title changed and were able to pay for those tags today.  Your new RIG sounds like a real doozy... enjoy! 

MARYANN, these vehicles are so high that even if you can get your leg up you have no ability to lift as your other leg is totally extended!  I get those “boosts” from Bob too....I would never make it without him.  It sure was good to go out and climb into MY car today with the greatest of ease!

GLORIA de, hahaha even Taffy needs a stool to get up on! 

LARRY, I am sure you will be getting some of the wind and rain from this latest storm.  Seems everything is becoming a challenge for me these days.....but at least I know I am not the only one dealing with challenges!  The family continues to enjoy their time in London.  The weather seems to be perfect and they are all able to walk for miles to see all they can in this week they are there.

JOY, it seems you are getting stronger each day.....so glad you are feeling better.

AMY, glad your family enjoyed a nice holiday together. 

SHIRLEY, I had to chuckle at your asking for and getting help from the young men...it warms the heart to know that there are folks out there to help us when we need it.  I am holding good thoughts and saying prayers for your grandson....I sure hope they can go ahead with their planned trip. 

JANE, happy to read that your BP is back at a good range again.  Sorry about the foot issue.  I hope the problem is not too serious
and the new foot doc can help you out. 

ROLEY, the weather report you gave has proven to be true.....the weather has been wonderful for the London Family visitors.

Pleasant dreams to all.

G'Morning all. Another fine day here, just finished a nice long natter with Lloyd, he told me the length of his new trailer home !, he said if he could cross the Ocean he would pay me a visit !, I had to explain that due to the size of his new trailer home he could never get out of Southampton let alone drive on our roads !,  :), also the price he would have to pay for filling up with Diesel would cost him a arm and a leg !.
Denver. on the BBC news this morning it mentioned Hurricane Michael and how the states of Georgia,Carolina and Florada are preparing for it,
I think we might catch the outer edges by the weekend here as the forecast is for high winds and rain, so that means it's the end of our Indian summer !, as you can see by this short clip we are getting exceptional weather at the moment .  :thumbup:

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I realized that I had not signed off last night and didn't bid you all good night.  I hope you all had a GOOD NIGHT and are facing the day with good expectations.

I'll be off to Wally World to greet my public this morning.  Wish me short lines and happy customers.

JENNY and AMY, too....I don't even want to think about snow yet!  Please, if you must have it, keep it in your own areas for a while at least.

I wish you all a good day.  Do whatever you wish with it but make it your own in every way!

Good morning everyone..

Foggy here , hope it soon lifts as we are heading to the Park . Each year we make a pilgrimage to see the fall colours in the park. We have missed a few years due to health issues but today all of us are going.

http://www.algonquinpark.on.ca/visit/general_park_info/fall-colour-report.php#webcam

We have camped in just about every campsite there.

Yesterday I managed to put away all the lawn furniture and replace the burnt out light bulb in the overhead door mechanism. Along with a few other chores I did manage to get some sewing done.


Shirley, the grass did get cut ,hubby did it and I did the weed whacking. I think this is the last cutting for the year ,now to winterize the mowers. I still need to till the garden but rain has interfered with that.


Jane, usually on the 30th of Oct we get a bit of snow but it doesn't stay. I have been starting the snow blower a couple of times during the summer just to make sure it starts. Short lines ,happy customer and a time that goes by quickly today.Happy to read of you great Dr repost, that should put a skip in your step. :)

Joy, love reading your posts and feel you are feeling a lot better now.

Jenny, when our son in law was here on Mon, he asked if there was anything he could do for us. Yes, it does warm ones heart when the young ones think of others.

Gloria, hope you feel better today and your CNA gave you a good back massage yesterday.

MaryAnn, my son has a truck that he raised  and it also has large tires on in. Tis not very pretty to watch me climb in  or slide out.


Lloyd, you and Nancy will have a lot of fun touring in your motorhome.
Nice that you both can take life a little easier now.

June, enjoy Bible class today with your Gary.


Larry, hope you are well rested now and ready to meet the day.


I had better scoot.

Enjoy your day everyone.

AMY, I'll just sit quietly in the back seat and try to bring back the memories of an overnight in our camper with children at Algonquin Park.  It was a long time ago.  I think maybe 1967.  We went to EXPO 67 with the kids and camped outside the grounds.  I wanted them to know that there was a lot more to Canada than a "thrown-together" campsite outside a huge fair.  So we traveled a bit too.  Ah!  the memories!  I haven't thought of that one in a long time.  Thanks!

Amy, I've seen those raised trucks and I wouldn't even attempt to get in one.  I'm not sure I'd want to ride in one if I did manage to get in one

We have the start of a nice day.  It is to get up to 78 degrees but maybe with a storm this evening.  Tomorrow's high will be 53 degrees.  I think fall is here with vengeance. 

I'm not awake yet or I'd find more to say.

Hi Everyone. Here in South Carolina we are awaiting the impacts that Hurricane Michael may have on this area.  We are to get a lot of rain, wind and the possibility of tornados.  I see on the Weather Channel that the Hurricane now has winds of 145 MPH.  I am glad we are as far away from the coast as we are.  It is a warm and humid 75 degrees here already.  Pat is up and plan on attending her craft group this morning and I will go on down to the restaurant and have coffee with any of my friends that are there today.  This evening we plan on eating at the Church and Scott plans to come out afterwards.

June, I hope you are feeling up to attending your son's Bible study today.  Glad to see you are now drinking the Gator Ade. 

Carol, you certainly have an accomplished family and am happy for you. 

Joy, it sounds like you have the "white coat" syndrome when you are at the doctor's office and have your blood pressure taken.  I have such low pressure  I always tell them it is normal for me. Thanks for the info on the age of your youngest son.  Our son will be turning 55 in about two weeks.  I like your "short novels" so keep up the good work. 

Lloyd, I hope you didn't have too much tax to pay on the motor home but think what it would have been if you had purchased a new one. 

Jenny, the hurricane is going to do terrific damage along the coast and then inland as well.  My concern here isn't particularly the rain and wind but the possibility of tornados.  Do the seats in your car automatically higher and lower as needed?  In this last year I am finding it harder to get out of our car and sort of fall into the seat as they are low. 

Roley,   having viewed several of the videos you have shared and see how narrow some of your roads are.  With all of the cars we have on the roads here we sure couldn't get along with the narrow roads.  We live off the frontage road of a major Interstate and they will be making the road 6 lanes (3 each way) up to the exit we take when we return from Georgia, which is just across the river from us. 

Jane, hope you find short lines today.  I saw some video from some grocery stores shelves in Florida that had absolutely nothing left on them. I am sure you can feel for those cashiers. 

Amy, hope you will find some beautiful leaves and colours in the park.  We are fortunate to have family members willing to do things to help us.

Larry as usual I am duchy in my post today is when we go to pay it. now for a news note they in K C MO. interviewed a 83 year young lady/ she is a crossing grad at a school crossing. she has been on the job there for 50 years. (neat)

Good Morning,

Finally - the sun is shining in central Oklahoma.    There were several "pop-up" tornadoes yesterday.  Weather gurus gave a long technical explanation about two systems "colliding" over Oklahoma.    One in Midwest City (east edge of OKC)  tossed three cars from the parking lot into the entrance of a department store.  It hit so quickly that the weather sirens didn't have time to get the signal and sound a warning. 
T.V. stations didn't even know what was happening.

This week has been stressful for several reasons and I am skipping two meetings for some "down time" at home.  I need mental down time more than physical rest so am thinking about cleaning out my closet.   Plan B is to be a "recliner radish" thing until the urge goes away.   :thumbup:

Hope those in Michael's path stay safe and that Everyfriend Everywhere has an Enjoyable Day.

Joy

Later getting in here. Had a kind of lazy morning.......had to wait for the OT therapist to come, who was supposed to discharge me today.   Somehow,  his messages had gotten mixed up and he had me down for 2 more weeks.  The gal that was here on Monday said that was her last day and someone would come today to re-evaluate me and discharge me.  So, I don' t know what is going on.

Jean, from FLorida, wrote a message over in Norm's page that she and Larry had decided to leave because of the hurricane.  I think she said they were in Mississippi.  Hopefully, they won't be away for too long.   

I hope Gloria 'd  hears from her daughter, also.  She was hoping that she had left her place to go to a shelter.  It sounds like a pretty bad storm.

I have a friend who lives down near Tampa and I haven't been able to get hold of her.  Don't sure if that area was going to be hit as hard as the northern part.

Hope Larry doesn't have any problems where he is.  I wasn't thinking about the path of the storm getting up to where he is.

Callie,  hope you are able to get some "down time" today and will be more energized tomorrow.   I should be straightening out some dresser drawers, but just getiing too late to start any big job. 

I just might go down to get my mail and go sit out front for a little while.

Have a good rest of the afternoon.

It would be nice to have everyone check in as to their safety. 

Joy:  Keep up on that very good therapy. 

Jenny:  I believe you were east when we left.  It is a bit cooler - was high 90's when we arrived.  How is your dad? 

Lloyd:  After all these storms, perhaps you can get in an RV trip.  Take care.

Roley:  That is a beautiful place to walk.

Don is at a lecture where I should be but I had a terrible night and it may have been the leftover Chinese meal - although it was only one night in the fridge.  The laundry and ironing is finished - no comment on how many years I have been doing laundry -  :-[

Hello Everyfriend!  When I first checked in here there were no message from S&F and I went off and did some other things and came back about an hour and a half later...still no messages.  Then I just came back a few minutes ago and, guess what?  No messags!  I told myself, "Wait a minute!  That can't be!  My last visit here was about 9:15 this morning."  So I tried the back door.  You might be able to lock me out by the front door but I know the combination for the back door and.....TADA!  Here I am!

The lines were short and the customers were mostly happy.  Our shelves were a bit on the empty side and I'm wondering if some things have been redirected to the areas of need?

I'm praying for everyone in the path of this new threat.  I hope he keeps everyone safe and gives everyone the sense to seek the "high ground" as it were!

I took a short nap this afternoon after I saw to everyone's needs and then I did some cooking...some for now and some for when my company is here.  I sure don't want any of us tied to the kitchen.  My plan is to spend as much time as possible with that beautiful baby and her mother who I also don't see enough of.

I got he results of the blood tests that they did when I had my check up and they were also good.  I think I'm going to live!  Now, what shall I do with the rest of my life?

Janie, what to do with the rest of your life ? ENJOY !! Every minute of every day. A Nun once told me that since she was bed ridden, it gave her more time to pray for others. I try to remember her words on those days that I am down.There is much to pray for in this world today. Right ??

I had a great day....my son's Bible study was great ! Gary is so Gary...no falsity there at all. I was so happy afterwards when he said "yes," he would stay and have lunch with me. we ate outside..great food, great weather. His Dori was spending the day with the unwed mothers program she attends. What a couple they are. God really gifted me with these kids.

I am going to go down for supper tonight...not a menu I really like, but I don't feel like washing dishes here at home so I'll go down and eat what I like....mostly vegetables, and I'll get a small jar of milk for tomorrows cereal.

If I don't get back to say Goodnight, have a peaceful one. God watches over us. always. June
