Well rather interesting late afternoon.  We were just sitting down for supper, wife had made hamburgers and baked beans and we had had a warning about bad weather in the area but was suppose to miss us to the East.  Anyhow, wife said here comes the rain, wind started picking up, but no rain, just hail.  I had never seen that before, I mean there wasn't a drop of rain, just the hail/  Marble size to a little over quarter size.  Just lasted about 5 minutes, then we got some rain.  But not a lot.  I don't think we got any damage, I hope not.

It is nice to hear some good news about folks health improving.  Lets us just hope this trend continues.

Anyhow, I am off to bed.

Nite, nite, God Bless and Sweet dreams

Janie, I understand the need for radical seasonal change..I had forgotten that living in such a same season climate as we have we don't need as much…good thing too, I no longer have the space to store stuff.

I am ready for bed also. It has been a long, busy day, and I am pooped. My Gary will be teaching Bible studies tomorrow at our Chapel and I want to be awake for that.

Lloyd, have a safe trip tomorrow.

Hal, I hope you find no damage from the surprise hail storm. Sleep well.

So I will bid you all a very Good night, with Prayers, Love and hugs. Snuggle down and "Let go, and let God."

Jane S, I know with Jacqui Lawson cards you can arrange for the card to be sent to recipient at a later date, so it arrives on their birthday in one, two, or three weeks time, on the day....so It may have been possible Gloria had made the arrangement whilst she still had her computer up and running, just a thought...
......................................
Well I am up, so far no snow....
Benji now comes to get me, I can see through to the end of the kitchen that both dogs are looking at me, in my bed, and only get excited when I move as if to get up, then they move fast as if to the back door, they know we now have a new morning routine, I put my dressing gown on let them out and good dogs that they are, they do their poo's....Then its kettle on for my morning cuppa.......Wont be long when my vegi box delivery man turns up, so I have now slipped on skirt and cardi, he will be here 7.30am'ish.....

Good Morning Vannilla, dont even see Bis yet. It is too earlie th get on skype I think I will go back to bed. Have a great day.

Lloyd

Lloyd

Good Tuesday morning, Everyfriend.   There's banana, blueberry and poppy seed mini muffins to accompany your coffee or tea. I wish everyone a great day!!






You might be a teacher if...

You believe the playground should be equipped with a Ritalin salt lick.

You want to slap the next person who says, "Must be nice to work from 8 to 3:30 and have summers off."

It is difficult to name your own child because there's no name you can come up with that doesn't bring high blood pressure as it is uttered.

You can tell it's a full moon or if it's going to rain, snow, hail... anything!!! without ever looking outside.

You believe, "shallow gene pool" should have its own box on a report card.

You believe that unspeakable evils will befall you if anyone says, "Boy, the kids sure are mellow today."

When out in public, you feel the urge to snap your fingers at children you do not know and correct their behavior.

You have no social life between August and June.

You think people should have a government permit before being allowed to reproduce.

You wonder how some parents MANAGED to reproduce.

You laugh uncontrollably when people refer to the staff room as the "lounge".

You encourage an obnoxious parent to check into charter schools or home schooling and are willing to donate the U- HAUL boxes should they decide to move out of district.

You think caffeine should be available in intravenous form.

You can't imagine how the ACLU could think that covering your students' chairs with Velcro and then requiring uniforms made out of the corresponding Velcro could ever be misunderstood by the public.

Meeting a child's parent instantly answers this question, "Why is this kid like this?"

You would choose a mammogram over a parent conference.

You think someone should invent antibacterial pencils and crayons... and desks and chairs for that matter!

The words "I have a college debt for this?" has ever come out of your mouth.

You know how many days, minutes, and seconds are left in the school year!

Where are You?
(By Mike Hoskins)


Gen 3:9 Then the LORD God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?" (NAS)

Take one omniscient Being.

Think about omniscient. God knows everything. He does not have to think things over. He doesn't have to wonder what will happen or when it will happen. He doesn't need a lie detector. He doesn't need to see the video tape over again - no instant replay required. He knows the end from the beginning. He doesn't have to add up the column of numbers to get the answer. He just knows.

And while that whole concept may be something very tough for our finite minds to completely grasp, we get a taste of it. Then to see this question, "Where are you?" It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that something is odd. If I shouted down the hallway, "Where are you?" First you might wonder what I was doing in your house. But after that the question would be perfectly valid. I obviously do not know where you are. I need help locating you.

But here is the oddity. God knows everything, so He knows where Adam is hiding and why. But the all-knowing Creator of the Universe still asks Adam, "Where are you?"

One point is that God is asking for Adam's benefit. Adam, think about where you are. Think about what has happened to you. Why are you hiding from me? Surely you know I care for you more than anyone. So, what has come between us Adam?

Has God ever asked you, "Where are you?" meaning, "What is it that is in your life that is coming between us?" It is an uncomfortable thing. The best thing to do is just confess and repent. Adam tries to blameshift to Eve, but God knows all about that too. That is the trouble with trying to argue with an omniscient Being. In a battle of whits we are greatly outgunned to the point of being comedic. A rubber raft and one oar complete with pea shooter verses a full outfitted, nuclear-powered Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. Get a picture of that in your mind because that's about as close as our limited scope can grasp to the actual reality of the situation.

There's one other thing about "Where are you?" that is clear if you think about it. It also says, "I love you." I'm coming to you and I want to help. I want you to see the predicament you are in clearly. I'm being very patient with you in My care and concern for you. Let Me help you.


                 

"Just because of His unfathomable love, the God of LOVE, when He sees His children resting their souls on things that can be shaken, must necessarily remove those things from their lives in order that they may be driven to rest only on the things that CANNOT be shaken; and this process of removing is sometimes very hard."

- Hannah Whitall Smith

Good morning everyone,..
Liquid sunshine here this morning and temp is sitting at 0° F..sure hope it doesn't freeze! We are off to the city for dh appointment today . Yesterday when I came home there had been a load of wood delivered so got half that piled when the neighbour and his dog came over and gave a hand. Got to love good neighbours like that! We piled all 4 cords in out of the rain

Kelly, I knew where you lived it was just that I missed you in here early.

Jane, that is a job I need to do...get rid of ones that I haven't worn and don't intend to and pack it up for SA. I do need to buy some summer tops and pants though.

Lloyd, have a safe trip today..

Jackie, sounds like you do have a good vet  for you furbabies. I have one too,she gets right down on the floor with your dog.then she talks WITH you not AT you about things and you can ask her anything!!

Joan thank you for breakfast.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Joan, Lloyd Hammond,  good morning....No sign of Jane S yet, sure she will be along soon....

Well morning weather started of fine, dry and sunny but now we are having/had, hail/sleet, not sure which, just a quick splurge, maybe that will be it for the day, but I shan't bet on it after yesterdays talk of snow....

I will be soon off with R looking for a post office to send a parcel back, re, branch finder on the internet.....I also have to look for cellophane first to seal the box...Seems we have several places/shops that do a " drop & go " but you have to register, this seems to be something new....not sure this will apply to mine as I need to get a receipt, even though it is free returns....I will stick with parcelforce...

Edited, good morning Amy, you sneaked in when I wasn't looking....

Halkel, I am now wondering if we just had your hail....

Hi Lloyd
I hope you have a good day.

Kelly

Hi Amy

Kelly

Good morning Bis & Amy and all that comes in later. time zone brought Jackie in ahead of us all she even beat Bis. Bis had a hard day yesterday,Hope all has a better day today,

Lloyd

Hi Jackie
Sunshine here on the Isle of Man, no showers as yet. Maybe we have the better weather in the UK.

Enjoy your day.

Kelly

Lloyd

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I did a little more shifting of boxes and clothes last night and I was really tired so I took a bag of potato chips, turned on JAG and ate my way through much of it.  Then I went to bed as soon as JAG was over.  I slept like the dead and I am wide awake and ready to go today.

I read everything everyone wrote and it looks like everyone is off to a good start.  I hope Everyfriend's day goes well.

Joanie, I copied the teacher thing and forwarded it to my niece.  She a middle school teacer and I think right about now, she needs a chuckle. 

Must go feed the doggies. Mickie is sitting here making pitiful sounds like she's starving to death and Annie is shifting from foot to foot and making sure I know she's getting impatient.  Bye for now!

Hi Lloyd
Probably Sun will post later this morning.

Kelly

Good morning, Amy.  How nice of your neighbor to help you stack the wood.  That's quite a job.  Drive carefully going to the city in case that liquid sunshine turns to ice.

Vanilla-Jackie--Gosh, it seems the hail/sleet should have "gone to bed" for this year.  Good luck finding a post office.

Lloyd--Good morning.  It's good you can switch VAs and alleviate some of the driving.

Good morning, Janie.  Great that you slept so well last night.  I like to hear that folks shared some of the "stuff" I post. 

Hi Joan
Good morning Joan

Afternoon here now, sunny  and 46F.

Is it warmer where you live!

Me thinks it will beðŸ˜,,

Kelly

Good morning/afternoon, Kelly.  It is now 70° at my house and going to 90° before the day is over.

Good Morning Everyone!

Amy, four cords of wood.  That's a lot of wood.  Was that temp right that you gave us: 0  you should be having snow and sleet not rain.

I am wondering what is in store for a lot of us today/tonight.  Storms are predicted for all the central U.S.  Supposedly one of the worst outbreaks of this year.  Anyhow, we are on the very Southern end of the predicted area but Callie, Lloyd and Tissie are smack dab in the middle of things.  Hope all is not as bad as predicted.  I should add our friend in Plano to that group and possibly Sun over in East Texas.

"...SUMMARY...
   A SUBSTANTIAL SEVERE-WEATHER EVENT IS EXPECTED TODAY AND TONIGHT
   OVER PARTS OF THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS...WITH
   TORNADOES...DESTRUCTIVE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND ALL POSSIBLE.
   DAMAGING WIND ALSO IS EXPECTED FROM A COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS
   MOVING ACROSS THE LOWER MISSOURI VALLEY AND MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI
   VALLEY REGION THIS MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON.

Everyone in the area shown, please take care.

Jackie, you sound like you are feeling better.  And your weather is not the best.
My brother in law said they had rain in London yesterday. 

Anyhow, coffee is ready.  And I am to for a cup.

Hi everyone on a beautiful, sunny day where we expect to reach 84 degrees this afternoon.  Our main activity today is our Monthly Senior Luncheon at Church.  The speaker today is the president of the garden association of North Augusta and will speak about raising Camellias, which are apparently quite popular here.  One of the men in our Sunday School class is the International Vice President of the Camellia Society. 

My frustrations of yesterday with my printers is solved.  I found I had not rebooted my computer after installing the laser printer and once that happened it started to work fine and the way it should.  My son was able to get all of the printers set up on all of the computers.  This included the Canon printer that I thought couldn't be used with Windows 10.  So now Pat has a printer upstairs.  He got our hanging baskets hung on the back porch and I got the tomatoes and other plants potted.  So I am looking forward to a calm and much more relaxed day today. 

Hal, I have never worn a tuxedo as never had the occasion to do so and pretty sure I won't need one in the future.  Most of the older men in our church do wear suits or sports coats with slacks and ties to church on Sunday.  During the summer it is a little less so.  However, I find I enjoy getting dressed up and wearing a tie and coat. 

Jackie, it sounds like you were feeling better and that was a nice walk you had yesterday. 

Patricia, I always enjoyed Gilda Radner.  I am glad you posted your picture so I now have a face to associate with your name. I have asked at the nurseries around here if they ever get shamrock plants and the answer has been know.  I would like to get one for my office and have checked on line.  It sounds like you have a lot of plants in your apartment.

Lloyd, where you see the time at the bottom of your computer screen (in the task bar) just click on it and you will see a calendar page and at the bottom is says date and time settings.  Click on it and you can change the time to Central Time easily. 

Joan, I expect most teachers would agree with what Jeff Foxworthy put into words. 

Jenny, I agree that it would be nice to find some simple computer related things.  However, setup is actually much easier than it was in the early days.  Glad this week has finally arrived to Michelle to have the reversal surgery.  You will be ready for a vacation after caring for your grandchildren for three days in a row. 

Good morning, halkel.  Thanks for all the weather info.  I pray all those in areas where horrible weather is predicted remain safe.

Larry--Good morning.  Great that you and Scott got all the printers working and the plants put where you wanted them.  Camellias are beautiful, but they don't seem to survive here.

Good morning everyone! Well, last night we finally had the rain everyone has hoped for so the dust will die down and the greenery will open. 

Larry, I find plants are welcome on those chilly winter days and hot summer ones. I can bring a piece of green back from the dead. But if you put a blossom on it, it curls up and dies the minute it sees me coming! I don't know why the shamrock is an exception!

Hi Joan
You have the better weather!

Kelly

Hi Larry
Still sunshine here in the Isle of Man, though by the forecast showers later.

Joanie, I copied the teacher thing and forwarded it to my niece.  She a middle school teacer and I think right about now, she needs a chuckle. 

Joan and Jane, I copied the teacher thing for my middle school teacher Cathie .  She is counting down the days  - not quite down to counting the minutes yet, but that will come .  June 2 for the kids and "D Day" for the teachers is June 3 .

Hal and Jackie both got hail and tonight is our turn again unfortunately.  Storm #5 (we get one a week) is due to arrive about 6PM tonite with up to 80MPH winds, baseball size hail,  possible flooding and a maybe a few tornadoes.  Between now and then, I have to drive Jeff to Ft Worth for PT on his leg (he can't drive yet), come home, batten down the hatches and leave for my pulmonologist appt at 3PM. We missed the brunt of it the last three or four weeks, praying it will pass us again. Thankfully the kids aren't working tonight.

Hope y'all have a good day.

Mary

Good morning, angelface.  We need rain desperately.  There are so many brush fires around--many causing folks to evacuate their homes.

Kelly--This is the time of year when "hot and humid" begins, and that lasts for months.

MaryTX--Good morning.  My mother was a teacher, and I remember that at this time of year she was counting the days, too.  I pray the storm again passes you by.

When we drove out our uphill drive this morning we passed our parkhome manager and another resident out with petrol lawnmowers cutting the grassed edges, they had their work cut out, one starting the far end, the other our home end.....Well Phyl the manager knocked on our door a few minutes ago asking us if we would like him to mow our back garden lawn, our lawn is on a slope...He is now outside mowing it, guess he thought while passing our home and still in his blue overalls to ask, I told him he is a gem, a godsend as the grass has gotten so high, uneven and dangerous for me...I have trouble getting up there even on flat grass, but get so disorientated and find it hard to even move whilst its long but...for weeks now I have been onto R to mow the lawn, always getting the same answer, " yes I'll do it....." but he never does.... each time he always comes up with an excuse not to...oh well another job R has got himself out of doing, same as with hoovering....I offered Phyl a cuppa, even asked if he was hungry but, he declined both....just shows that some people will do for others and without fuss....

Ha ha, in hindsight, as he passes our garden gate, far end of garden, road side, he must have thought my, that grass is mighty high, soon their dogs will be disappearing in it, I had better do something about it........
