Here is  a link to the cheese Danish with the Crescent rolls.

http://cakescottage.com/2016/03/07/easy-cream-cheese-danish/#more-109911

This is one version that I use, but if you go to the Pinterest web page and type in " Cheese Danish wth crescent rolls.  lots of EASY variations will come up. I have made them several different ways.  They are all pretty quick and easy.  You can just use 1 can of the rolls and half of the remaining ingredients. I usually only  make them with 1 can.

Joy, I'm still racing to get things done so haven't taken time to figure where the message room is in here.... used to be able to find it, to answer & thank you for that link & instructions.  So thank you here!!!

Today I ran to Sam's Club & grocery store to buy every kind of fresh veggie to clean & take to my friend.  The little frig downstairs is full & I will cut up a watermelon tomorrow & am taking meat spread & loaf of French bread for open face sandwiches.  Plenty to nibble on for anyone around her house.  My hands look like prunes from being in water so long.  We've known each other for nearly 50 years & just help each other when in need. 

Needed to add water to the pool being so hot & windy all last week... well is pumping out lots of sand.  We've always tied an old panty hose on the end of the  hose going into the pool, never had more than half a cup of sand come up other years but today one leg was filled clear to the panty & so heavy it pulled loose & fell to the bottom.  Naturally some of the sand spilled out but the other leg floated up so I snagged it with the leaf rake & managed to get it out.  Can't finish filling until I get another "strainer".  ::)  Then I turned on the sprinkler system, first zone so strong it was shooting water over half the driveway & street... but it stayed partially on when 2nd zone came on... that darn sand filled all the sprinkler heads & they can't go down.  Will have to call the well people to see what needs to be done.  Expect it's caused by the high water in the river & the fact "they" are working on the by-pass just to the west of my house... and digging sand out of the river for their concrete!  Stirring up all the wells, I expect. 

My mind is still on old LaurenKat, I know she's probably dead but the chance she is not, just scared and hungry.... nags me.  As my mother used to say, "going through the day on automatic"..... too many things on my mind so not coping well right now, nothing really bad, just bumping from one thing to another but not getting anything completed.  Enough whining for tonight.

Prayers for all in need, especially you, Amy, & your husband.   

Hal, I had the same thoughts about the young man tortured by the North Koreans.... why he did what he did and how terrible for his parents.  At least they got him home to know his nightmare is ended.  I hoped at first he would get better but not meant to be, may his soul rest in peace and his parents find comfort for their loss.

Time to get to bed, much to do tomorrow.... before Joan finds her demerit book!!! :o    God Bless and sweet dreams for all. Shirley

Good Morning Everyfriend!  We had rain yesterday and more overnight and it seems to have coold things off.  We are only expected to have temps in the high 70s today.  I can live with that!

I'll be off to my post at Wally World today at 10.  That' gives me some time to get into something today.  I shelled my peas last night and I've made a conscious decision not to cook them.  I'm going to eat them as my sister and I used to when we were kids....freshly shelled and raw.  Ummmm Ummmmm goood and full of happy memories.

I haven't heard anything from Amy last night or this morning yet.  I hope it just means she's tired and tending to the doggies and herselft.  I wish you all a good day.  Make it whatever you wish it to be.

Good morning Everyfriend.  It is to be another very hot day here in Alabama, but my a/c keeps it very comfortable inside.

Goodmorning everyone, raining again here. Missed the thunderstorms in the forecast last night. Looks like the line of storms heading this way wore themselves out by the time they got here.

PHYLLIS  at the time when we were offered the Photshop it would not install in the Dell PC I had so never got into that. I do miss PSP but with this lemon I have I cannot get any of the plugins installed and  that is that. Without my rollator I would not be doing any walking.

LARRY  the only opening they had left for delivery yesterday was the 7-9 so I was surprised whe the delivery was here even before 7. At least my CNA was here to help get things put away. My daughter only got produce at Sprouts. Looks like the best place she found so far where they are in Az. is Walmart.

GLORIA de   we escaped the worse of that storm system here. Not sorry we did either.

CAROL  for years women did not need fishing liscense here but that changed a few years ago. Have no idea the cost now. My sons have been too busy for fishing.

JANE  glad you enjoyed time with your sister and niece. Even after all the years my last sibling went home to God I miss them.

HAL  looks like PT is not doing much good for you. Too much for what you feel comfortable doing.

JOY  thank you for the link. I have it opened in another window and will check it when I finish here.

SHIRLEY  SLOW DOWN. We do worry about things we cannot change and think of the "what if's".

JANE in all the years we had a garden and planted peas I never got to cook any of them. We would walk through the plants and pick a peapod and crack it open and eat the peas. So tasty.

LLOYD  looks like the rain here has stopped, my windows are starting to dry. Boy do they need washing.

JOAN  always good seeing you. My AC ran all night but right now it is off.

Good Morning Everyone!

Joanie, happy to see you posting bright and early this morning, hope that means you are getting back on track.  I feel pretty good this morning but dreading going to PT, today is in the gym and lots of stretching.

Looks like the old Gulf is starting to get active.  a low is sitting off the coast and the spaghetti map only shows on "string" headed toward Texas.  Most want to take it into Louisiana.  But the Lord only knows where he wants to send it.  We could use the rain but not the destruction.

We have two of our Great Grandkids here with us for a couple of days.  So we have kid noises, laughter and running and the normal stuff.  They seemed to occupy lots of their time with making and playing with "slime".  Buy the stuff in power form them mix laundry soap and shaving cream and mix it all up.  Yuk!

Tisie, I feel for you about your cat.  You will always wonder but I know you did your best to protect it.  Telling you not to worry is like telling water not to be wet.

Lloyd, hope the old dozer does its thing without breaking down on you.  Be gentle with it, if that is possible.... :)

Hope everything is going okay with Amy and DH.  She is putting lots of miles on her and her car.  Hopefully thing will smooth out for her quickly.

Coffee is ready, all that want a cup are welcome.

Good Morning, everyone from the warm
and a bit humid, rocky coast of Maine.   

After today it is suppose to be dryer and a bit cooler,
for the next ten days.     (My kind of weather) ...

Tomorrow my Kelly leaves for her three week stay in
Switzerland, Ireland and Germany/ Italy ...
She will be visiting and hiking with her friends
from there.      I of course,  am worried about her,   but
hope that she has a great time.    Maggie and Maeve
will also be joining her next week.   They will be gone for
six weeks.    (Oy Vey!)     

I don;t want to wish the Summer a  way, but I wish my gals
back home safe and sound. 

All is well for me here on the rocky coast.   
My wing is healing slowly,  but much easier now with
the soft cast. 

Have a good day,
everyone!

Sandy

Just a quick note...

Amy was extremely tired last night and went straight to bed.  She told me this morning that they had thought her hubby might be coming home today but that's not going to happen.  They don't know exactly when.  He is still having trouble walking but he really wants to leave the hospital. 

That's all I know for now and I have to go get ready for work.  Enjoy your day and know that your prayers are being heard.

Shirley, I'm praying for LaurenKat that she will have what is most important for her...whatever the Lord sees fit.  it's in His hands.

Hi everyone. It looks like we well be staying in the high 70's today with a 90% chance of rain throughout most of the day.  It likely will be raining when I make a quick trip downtown to pick up our online grocery order from Walmart and a quick stop at Office Depot for a new hard drive for my desktop.  Then I should be able to stay in for today.

Yesterday afternoon we did go to Costco and loaded up our freezer with meat, probably enough to last us 4 months or more.  I forgot to take over the ink cartridges for refill so may try to drop them off this morning while I go downtown and then stop back by and pick them up either later today or tomorrow.  I have already accomplished several routine household duties this morning.

Callie, I bet that rabbit thought you planted those tender morsels just for him.  :)

June, one of the big advantages we have living in North Augusta is that there are several big hospitals located about 15 to 20 minutes away and they have free parking and seem to be easy to get around in.  We have now learned out way around the hospital complex at the University hospital which is where our doctors would send us and where they have privileges. Where we did live I usually ended up in the hospital an hour or more away from us and it was a tough drive for Pat and you had to walk up a slope to get to the front door of the hospital, which was hard to do.

deAngel, sure hope those strong storms pretty much missed you.  From the weather reports last night it looks like a lot of the Eastern part of the country will have a lot of rain and bad weather. Glad your sore throat is gone.

Lloyd, it is the different personalities of our friends that make them interesting.  Like you I have never accepted a dime for helping a friend but always offer to pay for their help, which is usually declined.

Hal, years ago I had a membership in the YMCA and signed up for an exercise class and a pool exercise class.  When my heart doctor found out about it he told me to cease with the exercise class.  Later I had to give up the pool exercises also as just ended up exhausted.  It sounds like your PT may be a bit too much right now.  There is nothing good that come from North Korea.  That is a tragedy.  I have to wonder at the wisdom of going there in the first place but the "crime" the young man didn't certainly didn't warrant how he was treated afterward.

Shirley, you are a good and generous friend.  It is a lot of work cleaning and cutting up vegetables.  I am sure they will be appreciated.

Jane, I also like small peas much better uncooked than cooked.  However, I feel the same way about a lot of vegetables. I bet Amy is just exhausted by this time.  Spending many hours in a hospital in the usually uncomfortable chairs available can be so tiring plus three hours of driving a day.  Thanks for posting the update from Amy for today. 

Joan, it is such a treat to see your postings pop up.  Glad you can stay in where it is cool and comfortable.

Gloria, at least your daughter can look at and select the produce from Walmart.  We have bought a lot of it there over the years.

Good Morning all, I am late coming in today, but it is a delight to be with you all.

Bis, so good to see you dear heart. It makes me so happy to see your post come up. I am sure you are still recovering as you had weeks of stress and labor and decisions and all of those on top of illness take time to be your other "self" again.

Janie, thank you I "will do what I must, to enjoy what I wish !" Thank you dear. I read this morning in my Bible, "You are not your own. You were bought with a price, so Glorify God in your body." So we do have to be careful to wish the right thing. Thank you so much for the news on our Amy.

Larry, it pleases me to know that you have a good hospital  so nearby. When we are ill we are not truly able to drive, or even ride, a long distance.

Sandy, I pray that your girls will have a wonderful time, and I know you will miss them. My Gary and Dori are leaving for McCall Idaho for two weeks..next week..andI miss them already.

Hal, it concerns me that you are going through such stressful therapy. You know your body and your abilities and your stress better than any other person on this earth, and I feel should tell the therapist, "Enough !" I remember years and years ago when I was still a kid, my mother going to a chiropractor for her back, and would come out sobbing from the pain he put her through. No way is that healing !

I have to scoot back downstairs if I want to have lunch……..

I'm home from work, had my lunch, loved up the doggies and now I'm ready for a snooze.  I have a bit of a headache so I think I'll take and Alleve before I lie down and maybe I won't have it when I wake up.

Stick around, Everyfriend, I'll be back!

halkel

Well I am back and feel somewhat better. June, I did tell the young lady to be easy with me today and she was.  10 mins on the bike and then some stretch exercises, she even said we could quit early (15 minutes to go in the session) but I told her no lets do the whole thing and she gave me one more exercise and called it a day.

While I was waiting there was a young mother with her son waiting also, the young man had been sitting at a table and doing a picture with crayons and brought it over for his mother to see, he had done a great job, and I told him so.  Anyhow he was at a table near me and they were working on his feet with some kind of electrical instrument and obviously it was painful and the boy was crying.  I told his therapist to ask him about his picture that he had done a great job of coloring it.  She did and it got his mind off his treatment for a little while.

At any rate I am back in the pool in the morning and that will be it for this week

Janie, hope you shake that headache and wake up all full of vim and vigor.

YEA....ðŸ'ðŸ'ðŸ'ðŸ', I finally found my way in.  Thought I had tried everything, but then figured it out. 

Saturday I wrote a big post..... and when I checked in Sunday morning it was not here AND I could not post a Happy Father's Day wish to all the special dads in here. 

SHIRLEY, I was most upset about my post as it had a lot said to you about your CO trip and LaurenKat.  Now I will just say I am sorry and I know you will always continue to wonder about her. 

AMY, so sorry to read about your hubby.....but sure appreciate you JANE, for sharing the updates about how things are going. 

CAROL, I am happy to read you and Don are going to be able to get out of town for a few days.  It is sure getting mighty hot out there.  Happy to not be in AZ with the scorchers they are having. 

So happy to be back in here with you all...it has really been bugging me! 

Have a great day, EVERYFRIEND,

Thanks, Jenny, for understanding about LaurenKat.... and everyone else.  Hardest part is wondering if she is hungry and scared. Poor baby, nothing should be as scared as she was her whole life.  We tried so hard to make her not afraid.  Can't do a thing but make one more trip to that campground & hope not so many people around.  If she is alive & in whistle range, she will come.  If not, I will go away convinced she is dead or trying to walk back to KS.  d ...

Crazy day, delivered the veggies & other stuff, hot-hot so wanted a nap.  Bedroom TV won't turn on, I even changed remote batteries, looked all over for a "reset" button.  Don't TVs have them anymore?  This one is maybe a year old or less... Viseo, I find no place to turn it on manually.  Duh............

Not a productive day, think I'll start over.   ::)

EDIT:  Talked to son, "un-plug & plug back in..."  That worked.   :-[



June Drabek

Hal, I am happy you spoke with your therapist, and she understood. I'm sure after several sessions more you will feel much better and stronger.

Jenny, I'm sorry you lost that lengthy post, I have done the same several times..evidently did every thing right but I didn't click on "post". Our "highs" are not what I would consider high, but there is more humidity in the air, being close to the beach than what we had in Hemet….or it's just me…getting older and fussy.

Tisie, I have read frequently that when an animal senses that it is about to die, it will disappear on purpose. And that may be why your Lauren cat took off. She was not a youngster, and most cats have innate pride and when they are old and ill they do it their way. I sense your deep sorrow dear, and I feel for you. You and I are both fortunate to have sons that can help us understand our computers.
As long as we are here, let's dance.

Lloyd Hammond

well I do try to follow all your good advice, but never worked. the fellow i am bulldozing for was supposed to move every thing out of the way but did not   
so i got on his tractor , made a sharp right turn to go move it out of the way
and that was right under a too low electric fence wire, well the good part was
the tractor is on rubber tires so no shock.  but the wire first stretched bow string tight then broke the top of the muffler off  and took a spot of skin off
of my upper for arm about the size of a silver dollar, clear down to the mussel.
and cut another place about 3" long, then hooked under my chin almost took me off the tractor before i got the clutch pushed. never cut my chin. so i spent all afternoon in the emergency room. they puled the skin together and stitched it together, and told me not to get wet for 24 hours.  so i will have to take a spit bath tonight. also said not to get any dirty on the bandage so I guess i will be a couch jockey tomorrow have a V A appointment Thursday so should take care of that for now. hope everyone has the rest of the day just like they like it. good night sweet dreams.

I have filled it with new distilled water, and put a new hose on it, now I am going back to bed and try again for more as JaneS says more zzz's.my arm is starting to come back to life , I may have to go to wall mart and get the pain meds. filled as soon as the pharmacy is open. see you all later back to bed now.

Good morning everyone..

Looking like rain here this morning.We have been so lucky here as the weatherman has been calling for rain, high winds and thunderstorms and so far we have missed all that!!! :thumbup: In between the showers I managed to get the grass cut and last night I did the whipper snapping and doggie land mines picked up.

Hubby is showing improvement and today they will try him on stairs, I know  he is going to tell them that who ever built them did it wrong......he is a stickler on stair building as we have done many in our past.

Shirley, understand your concern ,our pets are snuggled in our heart and when this happens we worry. Animals are smart ,they know when it is their  time.

Lloyd, I go away for a bit and just look at what you get yourself into!!!!!  Mercy me, we are going to have to put you in a big bubble to keep you safe.

Take care everyone and I may not yet get time to post to everyone but soon I hope when hubby comes home I will have more time..

Good Morning Everyfriend!  It's going to be a beautiful day here...temps only into the low 80s.  I can live with that.  I need to make a trip to the local Farmers Market and that's all that's pressing on my agenda.

I was disappointed not to see a note from Amy in my email but delighted that she had time to post in S&F.  That's fine with me!  She is one busy lady these days!

I'm semi-planning a trip to my sister's this weekend.  It's my grandniece's 17th birthday and I'm her Godmother.  I always try to visit on her birthday.  They live close to my sister and I can take the dogs there with me.  I can also see for myself how my brother is doing.  I'll miss the holiday parade in Lewisburg but sometimes I find them tiring these days. 

I guess I better get started or I'll find myself putting everything off until it's too late.  Have a good day Everyfriend!

Good morning, Everyfriend.  We are having stormy weather.  We are currently under a tornado watch and it is coming down by the buckets--flash flood warnings.

Good morning Amy.  It is wonderful to see your post.  I continue to pray for your husband's recuperation and for your endurance.

Janie--Good morning.  God your weather is to be so nice.  I hope you can go to your sister's.  Travel safely with your sweet dogs.

Good Morning Everyone!

Lloyd, Lloyd........son do you ever slow down enough to see what is around you?  I am glad you didn't do too much damage but at our age any damage is too much.

Joanie, happy to see a post from you this morning.  Are you happy to see the rain?  I know Florida was like my part of the world dry.  We are not going to get anything out of the Gulf from this storm.  Looks like the coast and Houston will get some rain.  Lucky folks.

Amy, it is nice to see you post this morning and some news from you.  And as usual you are blowing and going.  Your wheels are going to fall off one of these days if you don't slow down.  Good news that DH is improving.  Hopefully he will get home soon.

My email is messing up.  I use Thunderbird and yesterday for some reason it doesn't want to download my mail.  AT&T uses yahoo as it's mail delivery system and I can go there and get my mail but I am not crazy about their system.  Anyhow I called support and got their overseas "expert" (not) and she was no help at all. So I called my paid tech support and he worked on it until after 9PM last night and we tried calling AT&T support again and da dah, they advised me to call their paid support people.  Anyhow, my "Hello Tech" level 2 (doesn't that sound impressive) is suppose to call me at 1 today and see if they can find how to fix the problem.

I have PT (pool) today and that will be PT for the week.  Dentist tomorrow and shots in the back Friday.  I am a doctors dream, I guess with all my apmts I shouldn't fuss at Lloyd. 

I hope your trip to farmers market goes well JaneS.  And you get lots of goodies.


Gloria

Good morning and Happy Summer time to those who like summer. Looks like the tropical/hurricane storms are in a hurry to get started.

HAL  just saw on the news the surf. rain and wind picking up in the gulf. Stay safe all who live in the souther states. We have a chance of thunderstorms again this afternoon.

SANDY  I wish your family members a safe and happy time in their trip.

LARRY  where my daughter now lives they are off the grid and have an hour ride into town for shopping. Everyone who lives where they are have to be all self sufficient, modern day pioneers. I know I do not like produce that is prepackaged, don't know what it is like. Like when we could buy beat  that was not prewrapped. Doubt there are any of the old meat markets around.

LLOYD  next time you have a job and there is stuff in the way do not start until the way is clear. That fellow was careless and you are the one who suffered for it.

AMY  you are amazing  with what you do. All that driving and spending time with your hubby and then doing all that work at home. Prayers for both of you.

JANE  should be better here today, the humidity has gone down.

JOAN  saw on the news earlier about the rain and wind in that area.

Have a great day everyone.

GLORIA,  There are two meat markets in easy driving distance of me and the Amish store has a meat department.  Both the Sunday Farmers Market and the Wednesday one have at least two meat markets.  And I think there's one in Milton.  There are at least 4 country stores in a 15 mile radius of here who have meat counters.  I know I'm missing some but this is FARM COUNTRY where i live. 

You can't get to an airport in less than 2 hours around here but you sure can get good meat and produce!

Heck, JaneS, I am within 15 miles of our airport and sometimes it takes an hour to get there, depending on time of day.   So I would settle for the produce/meat markets you have.  How often do you use an airport any old how.

Hi everyone. It is to be another overcast day and we are starting out with humidity of almost 90% with continued chances for rain.  The excitement for yesterday was that we experienced a 3.2 earthquake within 10 miles or so of us.  I didn't feel any shaking but heard a loud and fairly long what I thought was thunder.  However, apparently it was the impact of the earthquake.  As far as I know it didn't cause any damage in the area as realize that really isn't a very strong earthquake. 

I did go and pick up the groceries yesterday at Walmart and then stopped at the Office Depot nearby and bought a new hard drive.  Scott said he was looking forward to putting it in for me.  Hopefully by tomorrow sometime I will be back using my big desktop.  The only activity on hand for today is this evening when we will have dinner with Scott and Jennifer.  As far as I know we will be eating in. Update, I think we just decided to eat out tonight and then eat in next Wednesday evening.

June, your poor mother in leaving the chiropractor in pain.  Pat's experience is that she usually feels better after a treatment and does believe the series of treatments over the three month period that she took sometime ago really did help her.  She is really doing well now except when she stands for too long.

Hal, I bet if you had stopped your PT before the time was up there wouldn't have been any difference in the charges.  Glad she was easier on you yesterday and your feeling a bit better.  Hope you enjoyed the pool today.

Shirley, I have had to do the same unplug and repug in the TV on occasion.  Pat and I each have a remote control and when neither one will function I know it is not a battery problem but the TV.  I also sometimes have to reset the Dish device by doing the same thing.  Electronics can sure be frustrating when they don't work as they should.

Lloyd, what are we going to do with you. I am glad you were not hurt more or even killed.  I do hope you are not in too much pain today.  Pat and I both empty our CPAP water reservoirs daily and refill each evening.  We sure go through a lot of distilled water and buy it six gallons at a time.  Glad it isn't expensive. 

Amy, it sounds like your husband is slowly improving and hope he was able to handle the stairs (even if they weren't built to his specifications).   

Jane, what kind of holiday parade are they having in Lewisburg?  My parade attending days are over.  Hope your trip this weekend works out and you and your doggies have a nice outing.

Joan, by the weather forecast with the tropical storm in the gulf it sounds like you could be in for a lot of rain.  We have gotten some rain from the advanced moisture of the storm but it looks like most of it will miss us.  We have had enough rain that I won't need to water the yard this week at all.

Gloria, actually we went to an old fashioned meat market two or three weeks ago.  However, the steak we bought was not as good as what we get at Costco so won't be going back.  There are also a couple of other meat markets in our area. I sure wouldn't want to live an hour away from shopping or medical help.  Of course, years ago that wouldn't have been a concern but now is one of my first considerations.
