Lots of activity in here today! It's so nice to "see" everyone and to read about all your activities. I wish you all well! Enjoy your friends both the human ones and the animal ones!

I'm heading for the haystack so I can get up early to greet Cooper's arrival! I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow!

JaneS · November 04, 2023, 06:36:57 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! Cooper is on the way and my day is starting! Make yours a good one!

Amy · November 04, 2023, 06:58:01 AM

Good morning..

Clocks FALL BACK this weekend.

Laundry day after trying again to see in the father is cutting hair today at the barber shop.

Finally saw the end of the quilt, just need to iron the binding and it is good to go. Now to move on to the next one.

Jane, enjoy your time with Copper. You won't spoil him now will you???

Patricia, now that would be a sight to see.

MG, happy to read that all went well with Sue.

Better get dressed and with any luck be early to get Kyle into the barber shop.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning. I'm alive, but local friends and family may have been skeptical.

While out shopping, I was laid low by a sudden vertigo attack. I was dizzy enough to lay full length on her car's rear seat. My ears were plugged, my neck was stiff and hurting, and my nose ran unceasingly.

She went home, told her husband, and he went out and purchased enough medical ammunition for armageddon. She says she feels fine.

This morning, yesterday's disaster had morphed into your basic head cold. I'm rarely sick, so that did a number on me; it came on so suddenly. Yesterday, I called my doctor, who confirmed I had a bad cold and told me to stay home and rest. And to stay away from his office, not really, but it was implied.

Today, I deep-cleaned the bathroom and kitchen and wiped everything down with Lysol cold and flu-killing wet wipes. So, dramatics over until the next time.

Amy · November 04, 2023, 02:07:09 PM

Patricia, happy to read you are feeling somewhat better today. While outside feeding the neighbours hens a flock of Whistler Swans flew over heading your way. Must of been 12 -14 of them and I had no camera with me

Carrots are pulled ,washed and put away, played Frisbee trying to tucker out Jesse so I could clip his nails......bottom line I tired out first but did get a few cut. Now to go bring laundry back in. Then go play in the sewing room.

JaneS · November 04, 2023, 09:46:28 PM

Cooper wore me out toeay! He wasn't happy wit short walks. He had to go around all three blocks and than up and back down the same street twice. I got my walking steps in early and he took a long nap when we got back!

I cooked some hamburgers today and I'll be eating them for the next couple of days for my lunch. I actually turned them into cheeseburgers and had one on a roll with a slice of tomato for my lunch! It was "burry, burry goooood". One of my kids used to use that expression when she was little! I still keep it around!

AMY, all the ducks and geese are gone in this area! I love watching the Vs go over and listening to them talking to each other as they go! There's a big pond right behind the houses across the road where they rest on their trips!

PATRICIA, that cold onset was something! I don't think I've ever had one come on like that! I'm glad you're on the way to recovery!

I got a nice package in the mail today! It was a box FULL of the special candy bars that like I brought home from Oklahoma the last time I was there but these didn't come from OK. I'll take them wherever they come from. They are really good!

Now I'm heading for the haystack. Cooper will be here early tomorrow morning and I'll have to take care of him and get myself ready for church. Of course, I have an extra hour to get that done tomorrow after I turn the clock back. WE SPRING forward and FALL back! And I'm pretty sure this is the weekend we do that! Yep! I checked it out...again...and we turn the clocks back tonight! Sleep tight and enjoy the extra hour!

Denver · November 04, 2023, 11:56:43 PM

Saturdays around here are full of college football games🏈 I did manage to slip away and accomplish a few things I could handle myself. I had to watch the Air Force Academy vs West Point who played in Bronco Stadium today. The weather was perfect and unfortunately my team, the Falcons got stomped by the Black Knights😩

We had a delightful time with the family as we celebrated our only granddaughter's 14th Birthday💗. I felt like a new person after starting to get that poison out of my system from that awful shot. Less and less nausea, headache is gone and I had more energy. I still was not able to eat much at dinner but that is OK. Having my surgery date changed to a better time also helped me feel better🥰🥰

PATRICIA, crazy how your cold bug came on so quickly. Happy you were not alone and your friends kept you safe and made sure you had meds to take to help you feel better. Boy would I love to see Farrah in the position you saw her in‼️🤣🤣🤣

MARS, good to read that Sue's surgery went well and she was kind enough to let you go on back home. She is right....not really feeling like cheating....and no reason for you to just sit there and do nothing. I am going to have my neck surgery in a further away neighborhood this time. I have already told Bob Inwould like him to get going before it gets dark so he is out of an unknown neighborhood and home where I know he is safe.

Lucky you JANE, getting a box of your favorite candy❣️❣️ That could not happen to a better person❣️

AMY, hope you got Kyle to the barber and he got a great haircut ‼️

Unhappily turning back the clocks tonight😩😡

Sleewell‼️

Amy · November 05, 2023, 06:33:33 AM

Good morning..

Really dislike this turning back the clocks!!

A day of rest here..after the dust kangaroos get vacuumed up. Then play in the sewing room.maybe.

Jane,what extra hour?? Pups seemed to want to wake me up for their breakfast. I don't get to listen to the crows as they have headed south.Neighbour had a hen out and came to fetch it home with a fishing net. Little hen was giving his a good run but he did catch her in the end.
Candy bars always hit the spot and at any time of day.

Jenny, nice to read that you are feeling a lot better after getting off the shot. Kyle did get his hair cut and it was done by the Dad who does a nice job.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · November 05, 2023, 06:38:20 AM

Well, I was wide awake a good hour early this morning! I'm waiting for Cooper to arrive and see if this has affected his schedule!

JENNY, nice to see your long post and nice to hear that you are feeling better! I wish you well with your upcoming surgery and be sure that Bob gets back into familiar territory before dark. I understand that you'd rather he'd do that than sit there watching you sleep!

I think I'll go make up Cooper's breakfast. Since it will be an hour later than he usually eats he'll be starving when he gets here! I wish Everyfriend a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow! Make it your own in every way!

JaneS · November 05, 2023, 06:39:23 AM

I had to go back and read AMY's post. Good Morning, AMY Have a good day!

patricia19 · November 05, 2023, 11:31:06 AM

Good morning, 15 degrees and cloudy at 7:22 a.m. Winds are brisk at 25-35 mph, and our ice is back.

I don't have anything planned for today. Yesterday was spent lying around with my Kindle or a magazine; nothing else was accomplished except the basics and laundry.

This cold probably didn't have a sudden onset; it was perhaps small signs I missed. Yesterday was stuffy with ears stopped up, and this morning, milder symptoms. Shakespeare said it best, "It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

JaneS · November 05, 2023, 09:42:53 PM

Hello and Good Night! This extra hour is catching up to me and forcing my eyes to close early! I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow! I don't know if I'll be here in the morning. I have an early dental appointment and Cooper will be arriving and demanding attention. I'll be by as soon as I can! Enjoy your day!

Amy · November 06, 2023, 06:03:32 AM

Good morning...

Really not a fan of this time change Oh well it is what it is.

We are off to the city to pick up an item Kyle ordered and we will meet up with Bri to exchange goodies. David is off to Sweetwater TX, I love that name Sweetwater.

Just have a bit more cutting of fabric and I can soon start another quilt.

Jane, Cooper may be demanding but we love giving attention to the pups!

Patricia, I will take snow ahead of the ice! One minute one is standing and the next minute you're kissing the ground. You hope no one sees this move and you hope you can get back up gracefully after checking nothing is broke!!

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · November 06, 2023, 06:23:14 AM

I woke up at my usual time of 6 a.m. (now 5 a.m.) and I couldn't get back to sleep so here I am, ready for Cooper and he has a half hour to go before he'll be here.

AMY, enjoy your visit with Bri and I'd like to know what David thinks of Sweetwater, TX. I've been there back when Cindy still lived in TX!

I think I'll go and get myself dressed for my appointment and save a bit of time later! Enjoy your day, Everyfriend! Do whatever suits your fancy!

JaneS · November 06, 2023, 11:27:47 AM

We were all ready and piled in Cathy's car and it wouldn't start. After she cancelled my dental appt and called AAA and was talking to her hubby about meeting her at the pickup place, she tried the key and it started again. So she cancelled the pickup, drove the car to her usual garage and Craig is picking her up there. Then she'll drive him home, come back and get me and we'll go to WM. No day is normal any more!

patricia19 · November 06, 2023, 01:16:52 PM

Good morning, 18 degrees and another winter advisory. Amy, the problem with ice for me is not falling; it is not having something or someone to pull and lift you back up again if there isn't any handy item to leverage.

The Arctic is a chill, dry place in the winter, with little humidity, and you need lots of humidity to have snow. And this is what we're promised,

WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON AKST TODAY
What
A mix of freezing drizzle and snow. Ice accumulations of a glaze and snow accumulations of less than one inch.
Where
Fairbanks Metro Area.
When
Until noon AKST today.
Impacts
Plan on slippery road conditions. A glaze of ice will make walking surfaces highly slippery.

Yesterday, I deep-cleaned my bathroom. I had put it off, but it was bugging me, so now it is not.

Today's plan was the kitchen, but the bedroom is bugging me for another arrangement: wiping down any wall spots and a full vacuuming. My bedroom has become my storage place, and I'm not too fond of that.

JaneS · November 06, 2023, 11:02:19 PM

Good Night! I've already been sleeping through my TV shows...at least parts of them! Now I think I'll head for the haystack where I can close my eyes and not be missing anything! We cancelled the shopping trip today because Cathy got company so we're doing it tomorrow! I never get anything done at home when I go shopping!

Have a peaceful night and a good tomorrow!
PATRICIA, when (or IF) you finish cleaning at your house, you can start on mine!

patricia19 · November 06, 2023, 11:53:54 PM

No problem, Jane. You provide the resultant airfare, meals, and per diem, plus snuggle time with Cooper, and I'm there!

Amy · November 07, 2023, 07:02:02 AM

Good morning..

Starting out warmer this morning at 48° and rain in the forecast.
Yesterday was a fun day, gleaning all and then some what we went into the city for. A quick lunch with Bri at DQ and then home.

Today, I would like to deliver a quilt if the address is the corrct one given to me. House chores after that and more time in the sewing room.

Jane, talked with David and he didn't get to see much of Sweetwater..just made his delivery and now he is on his way back. No grass grows under that lads feet!

Enjoy your day and stay safe

JaneS · November 07, 2023, 07:26:03 AM

Good Morning. My day is off early again. This time change will take some getting used to!

PATRICIA, thanks for the laugh to start the day. Sometimes I think getting the house clean woul be worth everything you mentioned! And Cooper loves to snuggle!

Today is the day Frankie was supposed to pick up her "new to her" car and Cooper was going to stay with me while she did that! Something might be changing that plan. I'm waiting for news today. In the meantime, I have to get ready for the trip to WM that was cancelled yesterday when Cathy's car decided to sit still in my driveway! I guess I see what happens there, too!

AMY, I saw a picture that David posted on faceboook but it was a truck. Does he really drive a double long all that way? That would scare the "hoohaw" right out of me if it was my son doing that!

I better get started on my day. I need to get dressed, make the bed and get some stuff done! Make your day the best ever! Make it your own in every way!

Amy · November 07, 2023, 10:46:32 AM

Jane, no that wasn't David's truck. He does tell me after the fact of some of the not so nice times he has been in. Ahead,beside or behind a tornado and many other weather related times. I know he is a good driver but that doesn't stop me from worrying.

We have had some wait and see days...in the end everything works out the way it was suppose to.

Radioman34 · November 07, 2023, 12:10:45 PM

Hello to you all

Tomereader1 · November 07, 2023, 01:05:01 PM

Hi, Don. I think of you often! Post whenever you can!

Have a good November!

patricia19 · November 07, 2023, 03:29:24 PM

Good, very late morning at 11:15. We had frozen rain all day yesterday and capped it off with an inch of fresh snow overnight. I finished my meet and greets and my morning chores, now to decide if I want to attempt Friday's aborted shopping trip or to complete the kitchen first. Then it's on to the bedroom and finally, the living room tidy and vacuumed. I blame my midwestern Mom, who, with the three of us girls, conducted a twice-yearly deep cleanse.

My sister in Idaho has taken it further this year by deep cleaning, rebuilding, and re-assembling her living room. She tossed or donated her old furniture, I'm not sure which, and is awaiting new furniture replacements for a long, narrow room. This is the same sister whose first vehicle was a small red Chevy Love, remember those? She proceeded to reupholster the entire cab in padded red gingham. She still amazes me with her drive, enthusiasm, and ingenuity.

patricia19 · November 07, 2023, 04:46:30 PM

Darling miss Cleo, MaryPage's great granddaughter and partner;

https://www.seniorsandfriends.org/index.php?msg=243458

Amy · November 08, 2023, 06:59:04 AM

Good morning..

Another fine day in the making, tad chilly with a 21° temp at the moment. Meeting up with friends this morning. I also hope to deliver a quilt and get that job done.

Patricia, thank you for posting the photo for MaryPage......cute children!

Jane, you must have been tired right down to the souls of your feet last night. Hope Cathy got her car fixed.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · November 08, 2023, 09:29:38 AM

Good Morning! AMY, you were so right about last night! I fell asleep on the couch 3 times while trying to watch some TV and decided it was time to head for the haystack. This time change takes a while to work it's way into my system!

Today is a "Ho-Hum what should I do" day! Cooper is here and that gives me an excuse to goof off! But I do have some things calling for attention!

I liked the pictures of the kids dancing, too! They are so cute! And they sure do enjoy life at that age!

Better see what Cooper's up to out in the yard! He does a lot of barking! I try to calm him down so he doesn't disturb the neighbors! Have a good day Everyfriend. Make it your own in every way!

patricia19 · November 08, 2023, 03:05:49 PM

Good morning from the Interior at 22 degrees and fresh snow.

I never got to the stores or did any extra chores yesterday as I cleaned my computer of useless programs and sites.

I spent time carrying on three serial online conversations yesterday about a multitude of subjects, and that, in a nutshell, was my day.

JaneS · November 08, 2023, 09:46:07 PM

Good Night! Sweet Dreams! May tomorrow bring you joy and happiness!

I'm off to the haystack! My eyes won't stay open again tonight. I sure hope I get used to this time change pretty soon. I don't know if I'll have time to check in tomorrow morning. Cooper will be arriving and I'll need to meet his needs and then my rescheduled dentist appointment is later in the morning! I'll try to be by when I can. In the meantime...Have a good day!

Amy · November 09, 2023, 06:45:44 AM

Good morning.

Woke to a white winterland, snow started around 9 pm and left a blanket of snow maybe 2 inches.

Picking up a tablesaw Kyle looked at this morning if roads permit as they were also calling for freezing rain last night....winter is here!!

Pulled all the parsnips yesterday and gave the tops to the hens, now to wash and bag them today.

Better get ready to meet the day.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.
