Good morning everyone...

We are to have another great day here, Yesterday was very windy at times , I did get both vehicles washed and dried .Then men came to replace the eaves on the garage and now there will be no break dancing this winter! It leaked right in the middle and a pile of ice would form  and when the snow came you didn't see the ice until you made fancy foot movements.

Another day of not sure what is going on but  will work out alright.

Better get a move on here

Enjoy your day every one.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I see I didn't get here to say Good Night.  After my day with the kids, I was beat!  But it sure was a fun day!

With Bridget, you never have to try to think of something to say.  She opens with "Hi AJ" closes with "i love you" and never forgets her "thank you-s" in the middle.  I found out things tha happenend with her an her sister a year ago and also what both of them are doing right now and what they hope for the future.  I love that kid so much

I picked up Kiran from her after school track program and we came home and had supper and gabbed and played computer games.  I told her it's a good thing she's not twins or her parenta wouldn't be able to pay her food bill.  I don't know how she eats so much and stays so skinny! 

Today I work 10 to 2.  I don't really like those hours but they work for me and the store. 

We're in pill wait for the doggies and as soon as they're fed and out again, I'll be getting ready for work.  I wish you all a great day, filled with whatever you wish for.  Enjoy![/i]

Good morning,  Jane, Amy and Lloyd and all the friends who will follow later

Jane, sounds like you had a really fun day yesterday. I know what you mean about the grands being good eaters.  And, I, too, don't know how they stay so skinny.

Amy,  glad you got your problem fixed with your garage leaking.  That could have been really dangerous.

Lloyd,  hope you have a good day, also.

It is a beautiful, but chilly, morning.  I think this is the last week end of our "spring-like" temperatures.  I was up before it got light out and that is not like me.  But, I needed to get my trash down to the trash bin.  With the week end approaching, the trash really builds up by Monday. I also had 3 or 4 stacks of catalogs bundled up to put out for the recycle bin.  I think my name must be all over the country. I get so many catalogs from places I have never even heard of.  I used to do a lot of catalog shopping, but tend to stick with Amazon most of the time now.  Then, I had to go down and pick up my mail from a couple days and,  more catalogs. 

Since I am up earlier for me, I am sure a nap will happen at some point this morning.  I  will read for a while and it will get hard to keep my eyes from closing and usually will wind up dropping my Kindle. 

I finished my Walmart on-line order last night and my daughter-in-law will pick it up for me this evening.  Tomorrow morning, I hope to get to a local farm stand to use up a gift card that my son gave me for Mother's Day.  He gives me these gift cards, but seems to forget that he is the one who will have to take me.  I noticed that this place will be closing the end of the month, so I need to use the card or it will expire.  Not sure how much they will have left now.  But, I am sure it won't be too hard to spend the money.

Nothing much else on my to-do list for the rest of the week end. 

Hope everyone will have a great day.

Good morning everyone, another beautiful one here with 55° and bright sunshine. This has been a week of temperature I could live with all the time. Cool nights and warm days. Of course like everything else might long for snow or rain at times.

JOAN  I am glad I can still get out  and enjoy sitting on the porch and enjoy the weather we have been having. I always liked getting out in the fresh air. So happy to see you post every day again.

SHIRLEY  I heard something on the news yesterday another school is thinking of changing name. The world is going nuts. Like you I have almost a year to wait for my next eye appointment but my eyes are telling me my glasses are not right anymore. Not because I spend too much time at the computer anymore. Here in the morning and check email then back at 5 pm for my date with my daughter and check email both times.

CAROL  hope your grands were nowhere near that shooting.

JOY  I am like you with catalogs from places I never heard of. I laugh at some that tell you it is your last catalog unless you order. They go into recycle after I tear my name off.

I am having trouble with my gmail, for 2 days now they so not recognize me and I have to go through so many things to get in. I can bet in Google, it is just my email. What next with this lemon.

Good morning from the Boston suburb of Weston MA.   

We have been so busy since our arrival here on Tuesday afternoon.  I finally got in here last night to read all the posts but had to giveup before I could post a message as I could not keep my eyes open! 

Today is our second grandson, Konrad’s 11th Birthday.  The celebration will be family tonight and friends tomorrow.  It sure is nice to be here with him on this special day.

Yesterday we drove north to do a bit of tree peeping, then drove back down on the coast....it was a most delightful day.  We had a lobster roll at a famous place in Essex called Woodman’s, and it sure was yummy.  Walked around some in Salem.....had to see a bit of the traditions there this special time of year.  The little villiages are so cute and the water views were spectacular! 

CAROL, I am so sad to read about the college shooting in our state.  I know your grands are there and I do hope they are OK.  I read the girl that was shot is from Highlands Ranch.  😪

I wish you all a good day. 

Jenny

Good morning Everyfriend.  The sun is out, and it's supposed to be 'balmy' today.  They are saying that on Sunday bad rain/thunder/lightning storms are to begin and last a few days.  I worry about family.  Part of them are in CA to attend a wedding and part in New Orleans visiting friends.  They all will be flying back either Sunday or Monday.  I hope you ALL enjoy this day.

Joan, it's always nice to see posts from you; it lets us know that you are feeling better.

Joy, I've posted this before about catalogs, but I'll do it again.  One year I kept track of the catalogs I received.  I admit I shopped by catalog and had my favorites, but I did not shop in as many catalogs as I received that long-ago year.  I received almost 1000 catalogs that year (I think the actual number was 970).  The numbers represented the catalogs received, not the number of companies represented.

That year I signed up on the site for companies not to sell your name to other companies and I think the following year I got about 500 catalogs.  The next year brought me fewer catalogs and now I get very few catalogs, mostly because I hardly do any ordering now.  I think the 970 came about 20 to 25 years ago.  Mine go to recycle now.

Instead of ordering from catalogs, I give $$ now and it is much appreciated, more than gifts for which people have no use.

Mary Ann

Hi Everyone.  It is a another beautiful day here with clear skies and as of now 57 degrees but headed into the low 80's this afternoon.  This morning I had an 8 am appointment with the eye doctor to do more measurements on my eyes and schedule the surgery.  I was home before 9 am.  The housekeeper is here this morning and around noon Pat and I will drop one of her new shoes off at the shoe store to have it stretched overnight and then go on down the street to the Honey on the Rock Restaurant to have our main meal of the day.  That will be plenty for us to do on one day. 

Gloria, we don't have any color on our trees yet.  However, a few more nights in the 40's and perhaps we will begin to see some change.  The shot Pat will be having won't be in her spine but in the area of a nerve to the side.  She was told if she wasn't in pain the day of the shot they wouldn't do it as she needs to be so they will know they have hit the right spot as the pain should immediately be gone.  Unfortunately it takes up to 2 weeks to get approval from the insurance company so it is still awhile before the shot will be administered.  School and street renaming is another type of political correctness.  Apparently anything connected to the South related to the Civil War is to be eliminated. 

Shirley, I would doubt that any little town would have a chance for the Amazon 2nd headquarters as they need a large population from which to hire.  I also will welcome a freeze to help eliminate the allergy problems. 

Jeanne, what a mistake on your grocery order.  We did have a minor mixup on an online order we had at Kroger but most of the order was ours.  The problem was discovered at the time of pickup as the other person was there for pickup at the same time.  I am sure I wrote about this at the time but it had a good result.  I am glad that Walmart is correcting their mistake.

Sandy, I had to chuckle at your saying you would check out the order to see what others are buying. 

Joy, the first time we did the online ordering I checked every bag but then decided it was a waste of time.  I do look over what Pat has ordered so can see from the items in a few of the bags that it is our order.  The system isn't perfect but it is worth a little problem here and there for the convenience it provides. 

Carol and Mary, they always tell me what is substituted or what is out of stock when I pick up the order.  One time I knew I was not going to make it within the hour so just called them and told them I would be a little late and I was told that was fine and the order would be waiting when I got there. 

Amy, glad you got the eaves fixed as ice can be so dangerous. 

Jane, it sounds like you had a wonderful day yesterday.  If Kiran is running track that would help her stay skinny. 

Joy, sometimes we get three or four catalogs a day and from companies we have never heard of or dealt with.   

Gloria, sorry you are having email problems.  That computer has really been a lemon from the beginning. 

Jenny, hope your grandson has a great birthday party tonight and then again tomorrow. 

Joan, I would like for some of that rain to head up our way as it has been several days since we had any rain.  I hope the storms won't affect the travelers getting back safe and sound. 

Larry, regarding so much Political Correctness - I have read in past years that many young people do not believe there was a WWII or a WWI and that lots of past history did not happen.  Maybe they're including the Civil War now.  I don't know what this world (and/or country) is coming to.

Mary Ann

Good Morning Everyone!

My but night time has not ended here this morning, still dark, dark out and very muggy.  We are expecting a cold front through tonight and hopefully some rain showers with it.

Political correctness is the ruination of the U.S.  Yes, honesty does hurt some peoples feelings but at least it is not hypocritical like PC is.  We had high school here in San Antonio called Robt. E. Lee and the PC crowd raised so much cane that they renamed it........ta da:
L.E.E. (Legacy of Education Excellence High School.)
How do you spell "stupid" and it is only going to cost about 1 million dollars.

It has been one of those mornings.  I got a letter returned because I (that is like me) forgot to put a stamp on it, how do you spell "stupid" well one spelling would be Hal.  Anyhow I needed for the letter to get to it's destination ASAP so now it is only a week late, anyhow I made a special trip to post office to be sure it gets out today and at its destination by Monday.

And then the wife bought a new Bona floor thingy and the new one, after assembly, is doing the same thing.  Not spraying evenly and these little jewels are not inexpensive, about 30 bucks.

And my back is hurting, just put a Lidocane patch on, they always help.

Everyone have a great day.  I am going for a cup of coffee.

Mary Ann,   I wish I had thought about keeping track of the number of catalogs I get.  I am sure mine would be about the same amount as you  counted.  The other day I received 8 in one day. Instead of tearing off my name,  I use a magic marker and black out the address label.  I used to tear off the labels and shred them, but blacking it out is easier and saves a little bit of time.

Joy

It is a tiny bit cooler today in Tucson.  We were told by the weather person to look for Uranus but we missed seeing the planet.  So, I cannot report that Uranus is still there! 

Mary:  We use WalMart pickup when returning home or coming to Tucson - and they used to have a 4 hour period.  With the change to 1 hour, I could not call and say if we would be late or early. 

Gloria:  Granddaughter and grandson are not near the shooting in Fort Collins.  Thankful.  Their apartments are at the other end of the school , over 30,000 students.  Imagine how the roads get clogged.  When we lived there years ago, the only problems were when the Wyoming cowboys came to town and met the state kids in the bars - always fighting.  This is sickening.

Jenny:  Yes, our grands are alright - it is just shocking.  So glad you are on such a nice trip and enjoying those lobster rolls - you mentioned it and I immediately knew the taste.  Missing seafood. 

Joan:  Just a note to say that it is great to see you posting again. 

Mary Ann:  I sure don't understand the pressure to change our history.  If it is changed, then it is false history.  That would make it like North Korea or others on the fake history list. 

CAROL, I am extremely offended by those who want to demolish the statues that are our history!  We just can not sweep it all under a rug!  We learn from our past......if we give in to this practice there will be NOTHING left as someone is offended by EVERYTHING! 

I am certainly glad that your grands are OK and that they were not near the shooting. So very sad.

Thank you, LARRY, the celebration has started! 

Jenny

I am here, reading your posts. I will see if this posts. In case it does, all is well with me. But how I miss being able to talk with you each day. June

Success !!!!!! I pray it continues daily.

Yep June its a definite go, now spill it all LOL

June, your posts are going along fine, so we miss you as much as you miss posting.

So all is well now have at it were listening.

Mycheal

good Night everyone. sweet dreams. hope to see you all tomorrow.

Lloyd

June you are coming through loud and clear.   You talk and we will listen.

Good nite all, sweet dreams and God bless

Long day!  Bad vibes from management at work...or rather NO vibes.  I need answers and I'm not getting them.  It makes for a difficult day. 

Good night Everyfriend!  Sleep peacefully, wake happy.  And may God bless us, every one!

Good morning everyone..

A cool 32° here this morning, hope today is a great as yesterday! Managed to empty and refill the hot tub another job done before winter sets in.
Today is laundry day and with any luck the clothes will be blowing in the wind. Need to do some baking also....

Jane,hope you get answers and the ones you want to hear from management.Don't give up..

Better get the washing started.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning Everyfriend!  We're waiting ou the doggies pills and after they're fed, I'm getting ready to make a run to the Amish store.  I have a gift card to spend and I need a couple things. 

AMY, thanks for the good wishes re answers but I'm really not expecting that to happen.  I'm thinking a stick of dynamite under the right person might do it but even that's a long shot.  I remember hearing my father say, "Maybe if I light a stick of dynamite under you, you'll get that job done."  I wonder?

I hope you all have a great day today and I'm especially watching for the laundry blowing in the wind!

Good Morning  everyone. 63º and mostly clear and going for 74º today. calling for thunderstorms after 6 PM this evening with strong straight  line wind's. hope we get the hay all rolled up today. Larry i think it was you asked about the size of the bails.  they are 5' wide and 6' tall. way around 18 hundred 2 thousands lbs each. see once in a while i do reamber. Have a great day. Nancy has been setting traps and catching some mice that are moving into the house in the cooler weather. Have a great day.

Lloyd

Good morning everyone, looks like we are in for another beautiful day.

JENNY  glad you are enjoying this part of the country. The weather has cooperated for your visit with the week of beautiful weather we have had all week. Glad you went leaf peeping during the week, week ends the roads are pack with folks doing that. Glad you enjoyed a yummy fresh lobster roll. I love those.

JOAN  like you I worry every time a family member is traveling. Hope the storm predicted for your are does not happen. I do not like storms with thunder and lighting and thunder, I am not afraid of them, just don't like that there could always be a loss of power. I do not like the idea of being stuck here on this floor with no elevator to get down to the ground floor. I might be able to get down the stairs but without my rollator I would not be able to walk without it. It was bad enough the night the power went put for about an hour.

LARRY  when I looked out this morning I looked at the swamp maples near the parking lot and they are so beautiful, only the bottom branches are still green. Wish I had a camera to take pictures of them. A beautiful deep red.

CAROL  looks like a bit of the old west when cowboys went to town on a Saturday night and raised a ruckus shooting their guns. At least that was in the movies so maybe they did not do that and today they still do the same? Like those who say the Holocaust in WW2 never happened? More stupidity but soon we never had either world wars either?

JUNE  keep posting, we see them.

JANE  hope things at work get settled.  Being stressed at work does not make for a good day.

LLOYD  have a good day.

Good Morning Everyone!

Bad night, shortness of breath, was up and down it seems like every hour on the hour.  I see a nap in my future.

Janie, sometime it seems like forever when you are waiting on an answer or a decision.  Hope you get yours soon.  Obviously it is important to you.

Amy, hot tube?  Do you use it in the winter?  I think I would pass in wintertime.

Gloria, do you have some kinda fire  escape plan if you lose power?  I guess you could sit down on the stairs and scoot down with the walker in your lap.

Coffee is ready, who wants a cup?

Hi Everyone.  It is 57 degrees here this morning but a bright and sunny low 80's day. This should be a pretty quiet day.  I will go pick up Pat's shoe that we took to have stretched yesterday.  We did enjoy a delicious lunch at Honey from the Rock restaurant. 

Last evening my Chromebook stopped working.  I told Pat I knew what I wanted for Christmas and that is a new laptop but will likely get an early Christmas present.  I brought down her old laptop that she has in her sewing room and it spent all evening downloading and installing the latest Windows Updates.  This morning it is working reasonably well but think I am going to have to use the Explorer browser as the Chrome browser keeps locking the computer up.  So today I will be setting up the bookmarks I want to use in the Explorer.  It looks like there should be some good football games on this afternoon.

Mary Ann, it is sad when we deny our history whether good or bad. 

Hal, I hope you got some rain last night. As of last night it was predicted we would have a 100% chance of rain on Monday.  It apparently only takes a few people complaining about something to cause it to change for everyone.  It is so sad what is happening on many college campuses. Do you use a CPAP machine?  I sure understand the shortness of breath although the last couple of days I haven't been bothered by it as I was for several days before.  I am still waiting to hear about  adding oxygen to my CPAP to use at night.

Joy, you have us beat on the number of catalogs in one day as think about 4 is the maximum on a single day.  It seems we get several catalogs a week from Blair and their other companies plus a lot of others.  Most just go directly into the trash. 

Carol, glad you got positive info on the safety of your grandchildren.

Jenny, I agree with you on the demolition of the statues.  We don't have to like them but that isn't a reason to tear them down. 

Jane, do you have new management at your store? 

Amy, do you use your hot tub often? 

Lloyd, we are cooler in this morning than you are.  With those big bales you no longer have to manually pick them up like we used to have to do with the small bales. 

Gloria, we did note a few trees yesterday that are beginning to show some color.  My azalea bushes in front of my house are blooming again.  They also bloom in the Spring.   

Laundry is out blowing on the line now..won't be long till it is dry in this weather.

I use my hot tub often, more so in the winter. Love being in the hot tub and watching the snow come down. We have the hot tub in an enclosed area, not out to the elements like some.

Gloria, Kyle and I were stuck in an elevator in the hospital for over an hour!! Lightning stuck the hospital putting two elevators out of commission. I certainly don't want that to happen again .

Dust bunnies to corral ...better scoot..

Good morning  Everyfriend.  I have been up since 4 a.m.  I am not fond of being woken up at that hour. I will try and nap this afternoon.  My iPad is giving me some trouble.  Joe - son - is away until Monday so I will have to wait for him to get working properly.  Hopefully you can all enjoy your day.

Joan:  You need to fit in a nap.  Still so nice to see you posting.

Gloria:  I could punch anyone who would say there was no Holocaust - we toured Sachsenhausen in Germany - that is right next to a small town and there is no way anyone living in the area "did not know".  They tested shoes on prisoners by having the poor souls walk all day long - on very few calories. 

Jenny:  We sure are concerned when the young ones leave for school anymore.  Are you coming to see your dad?  After this month, it will cool a bit. 

Hal:  You are not stupid.  There are just too many distractions and nothing is simple anymore. 

I had a wonderful dinner last night.  A bowl of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips sprinkled on top.     Real life is back today but it was a fun idea. 

Don is outside cleaning the yard from the javalinas - spraying ammonia isn't helping. 

Amy:  did you catch the dust bunnies?   

Well Callie, once more it is with pleasure I pay my debt to you, today's game could have gone either way to either team.     Texas just cant win the squeakers.
