Good morning, Lloyd.  I am glad to read that you are feeling better.

Larry--Good morning.  Glad that spell is over for now.  Good that today's humor made you chuckle.

Good morning, Gloria.  If you order that item that looks like Egg McMuffin, let me know how it is.

Good Morning Everyone!

Looks like we are in for another beautiful day here.  Lots of sunshine and warm temps.

Not too much on tap here.  Things I could do but have no desire to get into them.  Terrible isn't it.  Just no energy it seems anymore or interest for that matter.

Anyhow hope everyone has a great day.

Halkel--It's also sunny here and 71°.  I have a few inside things to organize.

Good Morning,

All of a sudden, my week has become very busy.  In addition to several activities of my own,  I'm going to cook.....twice!

One son/dil are coming for dinner tonight before they go on vacation and the other one is coming after work tomorrow to pick up some things that need to go to his house.  His comment was,  "At least, I'll get dinner".  (Oh, really? I don't remember mentioning dinner  - but, of course, Mom always comes through  )
 
Haven't decided if I'll "cook once, serve twice" - will probably depend on how much is left over tonight.

Hope Everyfriend Everywhere is having an Enjoyable Day. 

Callie--I am sure your family greatly appreciates the meals you cook for them.

That which was lost has been found. I did not find the Lynx paperwork, however the charger folder was where it should be, snuggly at home beneath the charger. I guess I did something right for a change.

Jackie, thank you for the information on Sun. There is usually a good reason why one of "ours" fails to post. My dear DIL Dori is posted in several areas…Google has her programs listed, and Gary is probably there too, or some other search engine.

Right now I am trying to find my way back to the S.S. I accidentally left it and now my computer takes me back to Dec.1…I'll find you though, even if I am still feeling just half awake.

I stumbled back in…..what I need to do is get off this computer, get dressed, go have my leg taken care of, then come home and go back to sleep. My eyes and brain keep closing down.

Hal, move over buddy, I'm in the same condition as you today…not sick..just not with it. and leg hurts.

Callie, I know your "kids" are going to love some of Mom's cooking.

OH YAY !!!!!! My pill girl popped in and said not to rush getting to the Clinic. They are having doctors visits today, and it is always very crowded on those days, so I will have a good excuse to go back to sleep and go for leg treatment about 3 this afternoon. Whew…God is so Good.

June--Glad you found your paperwork.  I hope now you are having a nap.  I am going to the couch to see if I can find some ZZZs.

Where is Amy? been missing for two days.....it is not like her to go absent...

I'm home and I've taken care of the pups, changed my clothes, had lunch and watched the doggies play a bit.  Now we're all going to take a bit of a nap. 

Tomorrow is my first day doing a late afternoon shift into evening.  LARRY and someone else asked if this would be a problem with night driving.  No, it's all back road and less than a mile from WM to my house.  It's the oncoming traffic on highways that bothers me.  An occasional car on a back road isn't a problem. 

Now I'm going to follow Joanie's example and see if there are any zzzzs left on the sofa.  I stayed up too late last night and I had Kiran all day.  If anyone needs me, feel free to holler.

Good afternoon, well made it through the night, took out my hearing aid, so I did not hear all that rain and wind

The river is nearly to Main St. My back yard is just full of broken branches. Power did not go off here in the park.  Our lines are underground, and a sub station is on the corner.
Thanks Jackie, for getting in touch with Sun, and to see her post. Now if we would just hear from Molly.

June, is your leg getting any better?

Linedancer--glad all is well with you at this time.

Jackie-Vanilla--Pardon me.  I was using my iPad, and now I see I missed a couple posts.  I was wondering about Amy, too.

Janie--Sorry--I goofed.   Hope you found some ZZZ's.

Good Afternoon Everyone...

Thank you Jackie for letting us know about Sun ! 

I am sorry that  she is not feeling well enough to post
in here,  but I certainly understand how difficult it must
be for her  ....    Sun,  if you are checking in,  I wish you all the best and miss seeing your posts. 

{{{{{{{{Hugs}}}}}}}

(aka dapph)

I too send my love to SUN! 

Sandy:  Thinking of you and how joyful you will be with the dental stuff behind you - almost there! 

Radioman:  So glad that Bubble is feeling better and you are there for her! 

I am baking brownies for tonight's dessert - it is an easy meal of mostly veggies and salad for three people are coming - it is called a Raclette meal which is melted cheese over veggies and sometimes meat.  We do this a couple of times a year - very hard to find that Swiss cheese that is just for this meal.  We all toast our own cheese and then scrape it over potatoes, green beans, and so forth.  Makes a nice dinner for discussions.    Happy discussions for sure. 

Thank you Carol!

This was not as difficult as I suspected it to be.  But then again,  the upper dentures are the easiest .... some day I will (perhaps) tackle the bottom ones.   

Sandy

I'm here.....sort of. Had two naps and still want more.I have to eat something. Finally got myself dressed, so may wander down to our big fridge in the third floor lobby and see if there is anything of interest in the frozen dinners I have there..if not I will open some soup. I think I have a cold, or something. I am medication with what I call my Grandfathers "Irish coffee".Black coffee with a dollop of Christian Bros. Brandy added. The name Christian Bros. soothes my conscience.

Gloria de, dear heart. They tell me my leg looks better. They measure the wound now and then and say it is growing smaller, which I can agree with and even looks better, if an open wound can look better. I pray they are correct. You have given me great hope though my friend, knowing it took three months for your healing..I'm in the second month right now.

Now off I go to check on my frozen lunch........

Foiled again...there is a b. party going on down there for a resident, so I will not enter. A can of soup sounds better than heavy food anyway. 

A thank you to all who thanked me for getting in touch with Sun, just happy that she returned my email....and here's hoping, she will eventually come back in to post to everyone herself....Now Molly, we are all still waiting to hear from you.....

Hi Sandy.

Carol--Your supper sounds yummy.

June--I am glad the medical folks say your wound is better.  Be sure you are eating enough.

Vanilla-Jackie--I hope you hear from Molly.

Bis, I am still about twenty pounds under my normal weight, but my body feels comfortable, so i'm sure it is fine. I just had a chocolate Ensure. Went down for balance and mobility class and worked up an appetite. The Ensure hit the spot.

Tomorrow my Gary comes for Bible studies and I'm looking forward to that.

Just remembered...have to go down for a late bandage change...byeeeee.

June,

You are doing exceptionally well, you seem to be comfortable considering the leg issue and all, you are with good spirits and excercising with  walking.

You are not going to every dog and pony show in the place :O) But those that are important to you , IF you feel like it .

So keep up the good work and be your own best friend first

Mycheal

Good advice for all of us, Mycheal

MYCHEAL....
...I like that..."  and " be your own best friend first...."

*****************************************

...as for me, I used to put others first but, not now...I put " me first every time " because no one else will, whether that be  right or wrong...more so, since my MS diagnoses of almost two years ago, when you find you are left to cope with it by yourself.....life is a means of " survival of the fittest " in my world...

...the only thing that comes before me have been my dogs, my dogs come first every time, always have, always will...

JUNEDRABEK...
...you know your body better than anyone else does...you are doing well, as I always say, " you are going in the right direction..." re, your leg healing process...I will also be very happy to give you 20 lbs of my excess body weight.....I will send it over by our cyber bus...

*****************************************

I slept to 6.am this morning, much better than seeing the usual 5.am...

Good Wednesday morning, Everyfriend.  There’s a breakfast buffet to accompany your coffee or tea. I wish everyone a great day!!



Quiz

Joey and his classmates had just finished a tour of the local fire hall.

Before each student could leave, the fire chief quizzed him.

The fire chief asked little Joey, "What do you do if your clothes catch on fire?"

Joey replied promptly, "I don't put them on."


The Master Carpenter
(Author Unknown)

Mother's father worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some crates for the clothes his church was sending to some orphanage in China. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone.

When he mentally replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened; the glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the crates, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses were heading for China!

The Great Depression was at its height and Grandpa had six children. He had spent $20 for those glasses that very morning. He was upset by the thought of having to buy another pair.

"It's not fair," he told God as he drove home in frustration. "I've been very faithful in giving of my time and money to your work, and now this."

Several months later, the director of the orphanage was on furlough in the United States. He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him in China, so he came to speak one Sunday at my grandfather's small church in Chicago.

The missionary began by thanking the people for their faithfulness in supporting the orphanage. "But most of all," he said, "I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year. You see, the Communists had just swept through the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate. Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my coworkers and I were much in prayer about this. Then your crates arrived. When my staff removed the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on top."

The missionary paused long enough to let his words sink in. Then, still gripped with the wonder of it all, he continued: "Folks, when I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that."

The people listened, happy for the miraculous glasses. But the missionary surely must have confused their church with another, they thought. There were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas.

But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.



"The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty - it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.."

- Mother Teresa

Well I seldom disagree. I just talk a lot and try to listen with a true heart and sincerely. but I have always let a lot of my desires go and put others first. and believe me it has Paid big diva-dens this time.when I had to go to hospital (two deffer-ant Neighbors) were here on the spot to feed the cattle and are still alternating and taking care of them (as I am still not able) .years ago when I had My jaw broken and wired shut(had to have what ever I ate liquid so could suck through a straw) first day home from hospital knock on the door and was two neighbors carried in two big boxes of food for us,we were broke $$$ none and they took care of us until we were healed and back on our feet. so i will always put others first. Have a great day.

Lloyd

Good morning, Lloyd.  You certainly are a kind man and have wonderful, caring neighbors.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  This is the first day of my new schedule.  I didn't have to get up for anything today so I didn't set the alarm.  It was 7:15 when the doggies began to prowl.  We haven't slept that late since I can't remember when!  Now to see how the rest of the day and the evening at work goes.

I wish you all a lovely day full of whatever pleases you most!

Good morning, Janie.  I hope your new schedule works out well for you.

Today is errand day.  It's very foggy out, so I will wait until that clears before I set out.

Hi everyone.  It is cooler this morning but headed up to a sunny 72 degrees this afternoon.  We had to get up earlier this morning as Pat has a Physical Therapy appointment at 9:15.  Fortunately it is only about 15 minutes from the house.  On the way back I plan on stopping at the City Hall and paying the taxes so I can get a new tag.  Pat expects to get a call from COSTCO about her new glasses sometime today.  This evening I will have dinner with Scott and Jennifer at the church.  So it is going to be a full day. 

As seems to be normal now at doctor's offices, we were kept waiting more than an hour past Pat's appointment time to be called back into the exam room.  The doctor was very pleased with the report on Pat's CPAP machine and she won't need to see him again for a year.  On the way home we stopped at the Longhorn Steak House and had our main meal for the day. 

Callie, your family exhibits that there is nothing like mother's cooking. 

JaneS, glad to read that you live close to Walmart and have back roads to travel. 

Lloyd, your neighbors helping you now and in the past sound like Missouri farmers.  The same was true where I grew up in NW Missouri and I expect the same occurs about everywhere as there are so many good people.

I appreciate everyone's postings.  I tried to keep my remarks shorter today after writing a book yesterday. 

Good morning, Larry.  It's cool here this morning, too, but they say by afternoon it will be 80°.  You sure do have a busy day today.  Patience isn't one of my virtues, and waiting an hour to be called in for an appointment gets my dander up.
