Good morning..

Another beautiful day in the making, I am sure the temp will soar but for now it is livable.  Yesterday was busy, but amongst it all I met some nice folks. They stopped in to inquire about the trugs....not for them but a neice was looking.The neice had "adopted" 300 in a nursing home that had no one...she started out giving eacg on a small Christmas gift plus a birthday card each year.This got expensive for her,the company she worked for heard what she was doing and gave her a large sum of money to use for the seniors.What a blessing she must be. As I have said before we meet the nicest people.

While hanging out laundry yesterday I noticed the swollows have left the nest, wonder if Mom and Pop will have a second clutch?

Jenny, one day at a time  and in that day take time for you.

Lloyd, keep the good memories to enjoy.

Particia, how are the fires,anywhere near being put out?

Better get on with my day

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning everyone. IT already 78f And Mostly cloudy, Had some rain over night, I havent been out yet to see how much.nI leave ti to God but we can shure use more rain in my opinion. Have a good day and a better tomorow.

Lloyd

Good morning; today seems to be a second steady day of intermittent rain. We've had lows in the early fifties and highs in the mid to late sixties, so we're having August weather early. All the riverbanks are running full with some low-lying flooding, and for those using the rivers as a highway, notes of increasing trees, etc., in the channels.

 The fires are down in central, steady in the interior, and increasing in the southeast portions of the state. Not that much news otherwise, refugees are still not able to return home, and the flooding in certain areas is becoming a concern. I may have Claire as a roommate for quite some time.  I'm now rooting for winter, and that is sad.

"I won't tell a soul_consider it forgotten.

When Charles Bay, the former US ambassador to Norway, was asked, "Remember me?" but couldn't, he would answer, "Sure, I remember you. Say, how'd you ever get out of the trouble you were in?"

"In some little restaurant, somewhere in the city, my very best friend, what's-her-name, is throwing down breadsticks waiting for me to join her for lunch."   Columnist Erma Bombeck on losing reminder notes.

Pup wants to play frisbee but it is way too hot  86° in the shade here. One is so thankful for C/A. Met up with friends and exchanged goodies sent a bag of swiss chard home with them and will go out later to see if there are enough beans to pick yet.

Patricia, happy to read that you are getting some rain. Claire is lucky to have you as a friend and a safe place to be. Can't imagine what it would be like to be displaced from your home.

Stay cool!
 

They say only one structure was destroyed but that isn't telling you that much.

I have a cautionary tale on both the Internet and your recall. I have told folks for years that I started on the net in 2000. I was off by a few years as by going back through old internet files, 2000 was when I joined SeniorNet. I was first on the internet on April 22nd, 1995, or at least that was my first post online when I joined ThirdAge, which suffered the same ignominious end as our SeniorNet.

So, you can be tracked right down the rabbit hole.

Good afternoon it is up to 87º and clear sky here toay @ 707 PM i watched our church live on the air. this moning and then a good noon meal of leftovers. then took a good Nap. hope I do not take another this after noon or I won't sleep tonight. I seam to do that too much now days.

Lloyd

Hello Everyfriend!  We're back home, safe and sound and we had a great weekend.  I'm worn out and ready for a good night's sleep!  Tomorrow is another day.  It was neat spending time with my daughter and granddaughter and it really wouldn't have mattered to me what we did with the time!  I just loved being with them!

Checking in for the night. Lloyd, I'm as bad as you about naps & no deep sleep at night. My Fitbit wouldn't even give me a sleep score for last night because I was just "half asleep" most of the night. Made up for it today after early church & breakfast with son & his wife, came home to wait for Sam's to open & got way more than planned & then to Walmart. Have to go back to the Kroger store tomorrow for things the stores didn't have today.

Jane, glad you are enjoying time with the kids. Sorry about this heat. My long time friend that lives here spent a week with her 3 sisters in Eureka Springs one year (think that was where y'all were going). Every year the 4 "girls" would go a different place for a week without husbands. She is the oldest & took care of them a lot when they were little & growing up on a far. She thought it was a fun little town & the place they rented worked for them to bring snacks for evening visiting.

Amy, I'm seeing few birds right now, almost like late August when they are playing and building up their strength for the migration south. They were here & building nests early but such crazy weather, wouldn't surprise me if they don't go south earlier than usual.

Patricia, I can't put a date for when I started using a computer but will check with my daughter. She was sent to Harvard Business School for the company she worked for, 3 months, I think it was. So my oldest son brought over a spare computer he had & set it up so we could e-mail. Do you remember Juno?  Long time ago.

Hope Gloria gets the computer fixed pretty soon... missing her 2¢ worth. Interesting when all drop by to talk about what's going on in their world.

Kids have all checked in. I didn't water today so must do early in the morning, usually when the wind is the lightest. I have to do it before I eat or this ole babe wants to sleep when the tummy is full. Sure didn't know that was the "joke" about the 2nd childhood..... you fed a baby & it went right back to sleep & works same way for 87! 

Sweet dreams & God Bless.

Yes, I remember something about Juno, not sure what. Wasn't it an email about the same time as AOL's heyday?

Good morning..

Weather man says we are to get a storm , we do need the rain.  Will have the med ready for Babe should we get a dandy thunder storm.

I bought my first computer in 2000, love the fact one can find so much information on it. How to repair just about anything, recipes,quilt patterns but best of all the friends I have met all over the world.


Jane, hope you have photos to share of your trip. Glad you are home safe and sound.

Better get ready to meet the day.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

I was into computers probably from about 1971, --- but not PC's. This was a Main Frame type computer that took care of routing telephone calls. Later a couple of DEC model Computers for record keeping and Billing. Didn't get a PC till I retired. Then I almost took it back because I couldn't get the damned thing to work. My wife convinced me to take a quickie course at the local Community College. It was clear sailing from there forward. The start of Senior Net peaked my interest in getting started.

We're having some rain today. We need it but not as much as other areas. Tis been a crazy summer weather wise. I have my own crazy (maybe not so) theory as to why.

I've been enjoying some newcomers to my daily wildlife feeding.  Looks like a family of Cardinals is around. Adult male and female, and two what looks like half grown males. They've been coming for the handout. The adult male will even come onto my (small) porch for a peanut.  It's so relaxing, mentally and physically, to sit in the rocker on the porch and toss peanuts and raisins for them. Even an occasional chipmunk comes around. Always several Mocking Birds, Doves, blue jays, and lots of sparrow type.

This may be a record for length of post for me.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  RAMMEL, I was thinking the same thing about the length of your post!  You are usually very succinct and few-worded!  It's nice to see you spread your words.  However, I'm used to the kind of short but wise comments you make.  My Dad was the same way.  What he said, you understood immediately!

I'm looking for a place to get a haircut today or tomorrow.  It's time!

I hope you all have a good day!  Better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Rick, remember do not fold, spindle or mutilate? When I worked at the University's main campus in the seventies, I was a section clerk in the AV department, and in the basement was this huge computer that took up the entire floor.

I was one of those who assisted others in utilitizling the computer as well as renting or checking out AV equipment, showing class films in the auditorium (Shakespearian class films were some of the bloodiest I'd ever seen!). Back then, you had to have two 16mm projectors running, so it was seamless as one projector's film ended and the other's portion began.

The final portion of my job was taking student and faculty yearly photos. That was a process in itself as full-face was needed, and many wanted to do side views, heads tilted this way and that. Getting these types to co-operate was a hassle, and some you had to send on their way. Then, later, they would return all stony-faced and co-operate once life had been explained to them.

I gave that up to remarry and move to Kentucky and then Tennessee. I sometimes wince when I think of the pension I would have now if I had stayed in that position!

Confusion in the court!

"Attorney: What is the date of your birth?

Witness: July 18th.

Attorney: What year?

Witness: Every year."

Actual court transcript

 

Rick, I envy you the birds, mine are all "off & running".  Not sure if they are still feeding babies but not coming for the food I put out. Haven't offered them any grapes lately & they aren't interested in any other fruit. Not a lot of birds hanging around, think they may be spending more time along the river.

My back yard (where the sprinklers don't work) looks as brown/dry as if just before the fall rains start in late Sept or Oct. The roots will die if we don't get rain soon. The company that did some sprinkler work for my husband isn't playing fair & pulled fast ones the last 2 times I had them do work & one time doubled the price of a part 'cause they didn't dream I'd know what it should be. When I pulled out the receipt from the year before (same part but for a different location), they just said, "okay" & dropped the price back down. I don't like those kind of games....and so it goes........

Here it is, dark, bedtime and I'm running sprinklers in the front for the 2nd time today. Not sure what time I'll get to water tomorrow, it's trash day & I don't want the guys to deal with getting wet. We can't get even a cool morning to work outside this year and I think I mentioned someplace that "this is the first year in this house that nights have not cooled down enough to open the sliding door in my bedroom for fresh air".  I really am getting cabin fever. Sweet dreams to all trind God Bless. Wishing each & everyone a better tomorrow.

Funny one, Patricia.

Will there ever be peace in the world?

Good morning.

Another lovely day in the making. Yesterday we did get a nice rain and thankfully no thunderstorm. There are times I am happy that the weather person is wrong. Neighbour phoned over to say he had seen the fox, she had gone into the culvert in he driveway. Said she is a bright beautiful red...just hope the other baby is with her.

Bubble, I have often sadi put the powers that be in a ring and let them duke it out and leave the innocent young men alone. Wishful thinking.

Patricia, each time Kyle would go to the Dr he had in the past and each time the receptionist would ask that same question what year yearand yes Kyle did say every year.

Appointments to take care of today then home to purge a closet or two.

Jane, did you find a place to get your hair cut?

Lloyd, how is your garden coming?

Hope Gloria soon gets back and with a good computer that causes her no more grief.

Time to meet the day..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I'm up and attem and we're going to check out the WM Supercenter and see if they have a hair "cuttery".  It's not listed on their website and I'm thinking of calling them to ask but Cindy says she needs some stuff anyway so maybe i'll just take a chance.  She says she knows a couple places if they don't have one!

Today is going to be another HOT one!  I still wear a sweater in the house and take it off to go out on the porch and get warmed up. 

This Saturday, Cindy is driving me to OK City for a visit with Callie!  Unfortunately, Shirley is unable to join us but I'm looking forward to seeing Callie.  Cindy has a friend in OK City that she'll visit while Callie and I visit!  I'm excited!

I better go get my shower and get dressed and get ready for whenever Cindy decided to take a break today!  I hope you all have a good day...better than yesterday but not ans good as tomorrow!  And I hope GLORIA gets back soon!

Good Morning, 

I'm really looking forward to a good visit with Jane on Saturday. Will we talk about you? Well.....      

Jane and Callie,please take photos to share!!

I have posted my vitials. the other day I talked to them and a lady was suposed to call but never did I dont think the left hand up there telles the right hand is doing.

Lloyd

Good Morning, LLOYD and anyone else who shows up today! 

Cindy and I are going phone shopping today.  She's getting a new phone and I'm transferring to her old one which is about 5 years newer than the one I have!  I'm not sure this will be a good idea but at least she'll be around to help me over the pitfalls!

Friday, Ali and I are going to make and can salsa.  It's something she already makes that her family likes and if she has it canned, she can just open a jar when they want it!  This will be a good start for using the canner!

Cindy just told me we have an appointment at the phone store at 2 this afternoon!  Hmmmm!  Should I be pleased?  Oh, well, at least the "teacher" is in the next room!

LLOYD, I hope you hear from the VA soon and I hope they find something simple to fix you up!

I'm off to take the doggies out in the yard!  Then maybe sort out some leftovers for my lunch.  That's what we do around here.  Just like at home!  Maybe she caught it from me!

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Glory be......I am still logged in and every thing seems to be going correctly for me🥰🥰🥰

We had a delightful time at a out door venue seeing James Taylor last night. There were a couple of rain showers but my hubby thought ahead and brought one of the large clear drop clothes and we put it over my scooter and us and it worked great‼️‼️. James put n a wonderful show and it was nice to be out in the fresh air enjoying doing some thing more normal for a change‼️‼️

I received a call from my brother this morning and my dads  cremains and death certificates are ready for him to pick up.  He will go down next Tuesday to pick them up.  We are anxious to get them here so we can plan his memorial service.

Lots of talk about how warm it has been everywhere ......here included🥵
I hope you all are able to deal with the extreme heat🙏🙏

I had PT for the first time in a month, due to othe4 procedures and going to AZ.  PT sad my replaced shoulder felt very good.....full range of motion BUT still limited to the use of the arm due to the nerve damage😩😩  She felt pleased with the two epidural shot locations.  She worked my hip ove good and by the time I left I was in much pain and fatigue d😩🥵🥵 I even came home and took a Aleve and wondered if I was going to be able to go to the concert?  I was.....and being out and about helped me keep my mind off f it and this morning I got up feeling so much bette4‼️‼️ Always so pleased with ANY improvement  and hopes of getting myself back to normal 🥰🥰

I wish you all a good  rest of your day. 

Jenny
