Turn Turn Turn
(Pete Seeger)

To everything turn turn turn there is a season turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
A time to be born a time to die, a time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal, a time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything turn turn turn there is a season turn turn turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven
A time to build up a time to break down, a time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together

To everything turn turn turn there is a season turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
A time of love, a time of hate, a time of war a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing

To everything turn turn turn there is a season turn turn turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose, a time to rend, a time to sew
A time of love, a time of hate, a time of peace, I swear it's not too late

To everything turn turn turn there is a season turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
To everything turn turn turn there is a season turn turn turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

(from the book of Ecclesiastes)
(1954)

Hello, and good night. Tomorrow is another day.

JaneS · September 01, 2023, 06:36:14 AM

Good Morning! Thank you, BUBBLE for bringing us face-to-face with a new month. I can hardly believe September is upon us. Where does the time go! I heard my Gramma say that once when I was very young and I wondered what she meant. Now I know! The days past faster and faster the older we get!

Cooper will be here today and then Frankie has 3 days off! She's going to come over on one of them and help me get the windows cleaned....and give Cooper a bath! So I have to be alert!

JENNY, it sounds like you've had some busy days and it also sounds like you got lucky with your doctor. It's always nice when that happens. Used to be we went to the dr. and it was always the same one. Now it seems you never know who will see you when you go! Also, it's OK if you don't like pumpkin pie. It's about the only kind I do like so it all went!

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow! Make it your own in every way!

Amy · September 01, 2023, 06:58:24 AM

Good morning..

Temp is starting out at 43° but will soon get to the upper 70's. Next week we are to get into the 90's!!

A few jobs are pressing to be done but after I do the changing of the brine in the cucumbers.

Bubble, thank you for the new start. Wise words to think about.

Jane, I swear, time really does fly!! Seems we just started into Summer and now Fall is upon us.

Jenny, hope this new treatment works for a long time for you. Giving you a life of pain free would be nice.

Better get ready to meet the day..

Enjoy your day and stay safe

RAMMEL · September 01, 2023, 09:52:01 AM

We started at around 55° but it's already climbing. I think that's the coolest it has been all summer. Have to do that end of the month bookkeeping, and be sure there are no pending bills.

Have a good one everybody.

CallieOK · September 01, 2023, 11:19:03 AM

Happy September Oneth!

I noticed this morning that the sun isn't shining quite as directly into my patio door. Must be "moving south", which means Fall is approaching - although verrrrry slowwwwly around here. Temps still in the low 100's.

The past three+ weeks have been hectic! First, podiatrist discovered a hairline fracture in my left ankle. I wear braces on both feet, anyway, and was "fitted" with a big, heavy, klunky boot on that one. Dragging it around wore me out so I spent most of my time in the recliner.

Next, although everything was normal on annual physical report, I had a bladder infection (no symptoms) and was put on a week's med that went okay until the final doses - but didn't do a thing for my energy level!

That was the week before granddaughter's wedding!!!!! Fortunately, final dose was the day before. However, I had a reaction the morning of the wedding which resulted in son taking me to Urgent Care. When doctor there learned of my physical's report and that I tested Negative for Covid that morning, he said it was probably allergies and I was "Good To Go". (I disagree on cause - think it was a reaction to the med). But...I felt better as day went on and was fine at the wedding

It had already been decided that I would use a wheelchair at the wedding so I wore the braces instead of the boot to the Event.
The ceremony was outside at sunset and was absolutely beautiful. "After party" (not a formal reception) was so much fun.
I was at a table with 2 out-of-town nephews, niece/spouses. When the dancing began, oldest nephew suddenly wheeled me out on the dance floor After a few minutes, one son cut in - after which other son did and Sir Carson finished up. There weren't very many others dancing and, apparently, all my partners and I were the "hit of the show".

Ellen was, of course, the Maid of Honor for her sister and was able to come over for a good visit before she went back to NYC.

I've spent this week "recuperating" and getting household organized. Still worn out but think ankle has healed - at least to the point where brace feels better than boot.

And that's what's going on in my world.
Wishing Everyfriend Everywhere a Fantastic Friday and a Happy Labor Day weekend.

Amy · September 01, 2023, 12:44:49 PM

Callie, our pharmacist broke her ankle and also had to wear a big boot. Being co-owner of the business and it was a busy one she couldn't just stay seated or drag that boot around. There is a kneerover that one can use to make things much easier.

Good morning from another rainy, 53-degree Interior day. There is nothing new here, but I thought I'd stop by and say

Denver · September 01, 2023, 02:46:42 PM

It is FRIDAY AGAIN......these weeks just fly by‼️

Thank you B8BBLE for all the goodies you have shared in our nice clean forum❣️

JANE, if I were a guest at your home I would definitely have a small piece of your Pumpkin Pie❣️❣️

CALLIE, so nice to read up on how and what you have been doing. I saw the beautiful bride on FB and commented to you. The event sounded wonderful and I am happy for you to have everything worked out so you could attend and be part of the HIT of the night❣️❣️

AMY, I see people with those scooters to put their knee on......if I needed crutches or that scooter thingie I would be in TROUBLE....Have tried to use crutches.....disaster followed and I can not put any pressure on either of my knees since my total knee replacement 😩😩. I sure wish I could pop in and pull a tater or two out of your trug❣️

JANE, yesterday I had a passing thought of remembering how wonderful the PA Bash was.....knowing how much work went in to doing it, etc. Sad to think that we may never have the opportunity to do this get together EVER again😩

Thank you for the encouraging words about my going on and on about pain issues‼️😩 I appreciate the encouragement and certainly hope and pray I do get relief out of this. JANE, again, you are right...in the old days we had one doc to treat ALL issues and now I think I have 5 or 6 minimum with a finger in all of this‼️ I never ever thought I would be the one to be so involved with my medical issues. And certainly not to talk so much about them.....unfortunately you all are a sounding board for me and it helps me to put things in perspective 🤪🤪🤪

I am feeling much better today....

Enjoy this coming holiday weekend..... we are doggie sitting so that will be our entertainment ‼️🥰🥰🥰

HUGS all around❣️
Jenn

CallieOK · September 01, 2023, 04:38:51 PM

Amy, the physical activity I do best is Sit Still!! I use a walker with a seat, anyway, and could put my knee on it but I think hopping on the other foot would be just as hard on me.
Fortunately, it's much better and actually feels more secure in the usual brace than in the boot. I go for checkup next Wednesday and will have a "chat" with the doctor.

Jenny, I don't think anyone posted the video of me dancing with all the partners and I'm not going to mention it. I've been reading about your health issues and have had - and will continue to have - you in my thoughts and prayers.

I quite agree with you and Jane about one doctor taking care of everything!!!!! I am so tired of being sent to "ists" (as in podiatrIST, audiologIST, opthamalogIST, etc. etc. ad finitum.

Grocery order just delivered. Off to kitchen to put things away. I plan a "leisurely" weekend watching OU and OKState football.

TTYL

JaneS · September 01, 2023, 06:45:30 PM

I'm sitting here in front of the computer eating my supper and checking up on "stuff"! I have the upcoming weekend off. No Cooper coming! Frankie has the weekend off and it's her turn for a holiday off so she has 3 days in a row! Cooper's gonna love being with his Mommy! She did say that one of the days she'll be over to use my bathtub to give him a bath and she's going stay and help me wash windows!

CALLIE, the wedding sounds like lots of fun for everyone and a special day for the bride and groom! My best wishes to everyone and how nice to have a special visit with your "other" granddaughter!

JENNY, I wouldn't make you eat pumpkin pie when you visit me! I'd have cookies or chocolate cake or maybe an Angel Food Cake, a nice cherry pie. I have one granddaughter who will not even taste pumpkin pie and just let her do that and tell her she doesn't know what she's missing!

It sounds like lots of good stuff in happening in everyone's lives. Keep it up!

JaneS · September 02, 2023, 07:09:29 AM

Good Morning Jane! And Good Morning to anyone who shows up today!

Amy · September 02, 2023, 07:14:11 AM

Good morning..

We are heading back into warmer weather a chance of rain but they have said that before.

Laundry after picking up meds and then work around home. Yesterday I bought corn and oh my ws it sweet!! Only 4 cobs came home with me but I will go get more.

Callie, understand your activity program, I also practise that when I can.

Jane,are you canning today? Making pickles or jam? Nice to have a day off when able.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Amy · September 02, 2023, 07:15:14 AM

Good morning Jane...may you have a wonderful day!

JaneS · September 02, 2023, 09:19:42 AM

Good Morning AMY and RICK! I'm doing laundry and changine the bed today. I'd like to turn the mattress but I think I'll wait until Frankie shows up to help me! I've done it many times by myself but today it looks like a real job! I'm still thinking on it!

Have a good day!

patricia19 · September 02, 2023, 09:34:45 AM

Good morning from another sodden Interior day!

There's not much going on here again, but I will need to go today or tomorrow for bills and groceries. My house is the cleanest it's ever been, and my computer is as clean and organized as its ever been. Rain is expected to continue through the seventh.

Special Weather Statement issued September 01 at 4:08PM AKDT by NWS Fairbanks

...Snow Above 3000 Feet After Midnight Tonight...

Snow levels will drop to 2000-3000 ft across the Interior, Brooks Range and Alaska Range after midnight tonight. Little if any snow will accumulate below 3000 ft, while an inch or two of snow will accumulate by Saturday morning in areas above 3000 ft. Areas in the Alaska Range above 4000 ft could see 4-6 inches of snow by Saturday morning.

A strong Arctic cold front now over the West Coast of Alaska will move east across the Interior late tonight and Saturday. This will bring much cooler temperatures along with the lower snow levels to the Interior, Alaska Range and Brooks Range after midnight tonight.

Winds and rain across the Interior will diminish Saturday afternoon and evening as high pressure builds over the Eastern Interior. Below freezing temperatures are expected near the ALCAN Border Saturday night. In Fairbanks clouds are expected to move in late Saturday night to keep temperatures above freezing.

The Alaska Range could also see rock and mud slides through tonight as more rain falls on saturated soils.

JaneS · September 02, 2023, 10:22:03 AM

I DID IT! I TURNED THE MATTRESS! AND IT WASN'T EVEN THAT HARD TO DO!

PATRICIA, your post makes me happy that I don't live in Alaska! I'm not ready for snow! And the other part of your post makes me feel "off" that my house is NOT clean! But I'm working on that!

RAMMEL · September 02, 2023, 10:25:43 AM

Good Mid-Morning all. Feels like a lazy day, but then, don't they all. Feels like another cool day which I much prefer. It should inspire me to do something but I don't feel it.

patricia19 · September 02, 2023, 10:44:59 AM

Jane, there's not that much else to do on multiple rainy days. Alaskan weather has been unusual, similar to other parts of the world, for the past three years. The snow is in the mountains surrounding us, at 2,000 to 3,000 elevation.

Amy · September 02, 2023, 12:45:02 PM

Way to go JANE! Used to be we had two sides of the mattress, now only one.

We picked up meds and rain started in town.On the way home we noticed it didn't get any rain.....at the time. Next came the rumbling of thunder and then we got a light rain. All is well now ,laundry is hung out but I am keeping an eye on the sky!!

Patricia, please keep the snow your way for a while anyways.

Rick, we also like the cooler temps . We are heading into a few days of temps in the 90's and that really does not impress me. I know all too soon the colder weather will be upon us . Need to get the snowblower checked over and ready for the dance......oh boy.

Tomereader1 · September 02, 2023, 02:48:10 PM

I typed out a fairly long post, and when I hit Post, it disappeared. Not up to re-doing it right now.

Looks like the same as here. Weather predictions show the next 5 days in the 90's. Today's 75ish was enjoyed - doing nothing.

Amy · September 02, 2023, 08:14:52 PM

The night is sneaking in,another day on the way out. The temp was also acceptable here and I am sure the a/c will be used a lot in the coming days. Labour day holiday makes the highway bumper to bumper with vehicles going both ways.

Enjoy your evening.

JaneS · September 02, 2023, 09:39:37 PM

Good Night Everyfriend! I'm heading for the haystack! I've worn myself to a frazzle today and I'm ready for some snoozing! Tomorrow will be a busy day also beginning with my walk (without a doggie leading me) and then getting ready for church, going there and visiting with friends after.

Frankie is coming over to give Cooper a bath sometime in the early afternoon and he will be spending the night with me while she spends the evening with friends. I suspect they'll have a few drinks and then sleep it off!

I'm not looking forward to the HOT days coming up. I wonder if this will be our Indian Summer and then winter will be upon us early. Or will Indian Summer last a month instead of a couple weeks? how do we know what to expect? Everything is changing! Oh well! Good night to you all! Sleep peacefully!

RAMMEL · September 02, 2023, 10:42:04 PM

I do believe we need a frost before we have an Indian Summer. So this might just happen again later
