PHYLLIS, I guess we've reached the point in life where "things" can wait until we're good and ready to do them.  If my house is dirty when I leave it forever, will I care?

For all the work I had lined up today.......some got done. I did get the iciles pickles started in the syrup and I told Kyle if I try to do 3 batches in each pail to remind me NOT to.
 
Friends came by for a visit and we really enjoyed the time spent gabbing.

Jane, fish for supper tonight and I will cook the wiggle out of it. 

Good Nigt and swet dream.

Lloyd

Time to say "Good Night, Everyfriend!  It's been "one of those days"!  Some stuff got done and some didn't.  Tomorrow is another day!

AMY good you cooked the "wiggle" out of the fish.  I had a rerun of last night's dinner and Frankie took one of the ones ready for the freezer home with her to have when she was ready.  It's was just as good today as it was yesterday!

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!

P.S. My one and only niece, Suzi, and her daughter, Bethany both have Covid.  Please say a prayer for them and for her other daughter, Bridget to not catch it too.  It could have a worse effect on her than on others because of ongoing health problems.  Thanks!

What was the saying June used to use...."the hurrier I go the behinder I get" or something like that?  That seems to be how my world is going around the last couple years. Every time I try to catch up on a job I create another mess to deal with.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week end. Our church has a picnic every Labor Day with all foods & entertainment for all ages provided. A BIG happy family day. 

Sweet dreams and God Bless All..... Prayers for Suzie & Beth, Jane. Love y'all.... Shirley

well it is !!:!6 and I can not get to sleep. I keep dreaming about things of far past, so I am going to turn the TV on Low and see if I can get a good moovie on to put me to sleep,

Lloyd

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I've just had my breakfast in front of the computer and I'm finishing my first cup of coffee.  It looks a tad misty outside and the temp is 69º heading for a high  84 today.  Typical early Fall day, I'd say!

As soon as I finish here, I'll be off to the showers to get ready for church.  I think Frankie said she has to be to work at 10 this morning.  That means that Cooper will arrive just about the time I leave for church.  He won't understand that but it works out in the end!

SHIRLEY, thanks for the prayers!  Suzi is a schoolteacher but won't be there for the first weeks.  Bethany graduated from college in June and had an interview for a job 2 weeks ago.  She's supposed to begin training next week (I think) but that won't happen.  I hope it doesn't affect the job!

I'm off to the showers in a few minutes.  I wish Everyfriend a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow.

By the way...SHIRLEY, that was the expression that June used.  I identified with it because my Grandmother also used it and I told her that.  Now I have memories of Gramma flooding my mind.  I thank you for that because they're all GOOD memories!

    

          

Good Mid morning. well I slept in again this morning. Nancy has gone to church and left me in bed asleep. I am going and watch the same preaching she setting , I am going to watch it live on line. see you all later

Lloyd

Time to stop for a minute. Van is wshed and waxed.really needed it!! Pickles are  being done (boil juice) and will put back down in the basement. Gosh.it seems each trip they are getting heavier. Dog bedding is in the washer and not sure if I can hangit or rain will say..

We did get a thunder storm last night but no rain with it. Today is overcast and it just may give us the rain.

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

Everyone must have been out having a good day today because no one was here all afternoon or evening!  And here I am, ready for bed!  I managed a very short nap this afternoon but Cooper decided it was time for his supper and he woke me up!  And he was right!  It was time for his supper!  Frankie picked him up around 6:30 and we'd managed a nice walk before she got here.

Now I'm going to straighten up, turn off all the lights and hit the hay.  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!

Good morning..

Sky is covered with a heavy blanket of cloud this morning.

Usual chores to do this morning..

Highway will be a can of worms with folks heading back home getting their kids ready go to school tomorrow.

Jane, dogs have a built in alarm ,these will tell you when it is meal time, treat time and bed time.

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

I'm up and attem this morning.  I have the second load of wash in the washer and the first load in the dryer.  When the first load finishes, I'll remake the bed with the clean sheets!  I always enjoy a nice clean bed at night!

LLOYD, was your day starting out so much like AMY's that you just copied her post?  That would be unusual with the great distance between you!

We have a nice, soft, gentle rain here this morning.  And it's supposed to last  most of the day.  That's OK with me because I forgot to water last night and I have nowhere to go today...except maybe a couple walks with Cooper.  He's not arriving until later this morning.

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

Good morning. Jane, there is a bit of distance between Amy and me, yet I find our weather often the same. Sometimes I wonder if we're at opposite ends of longitude and latitude. It's cloudy here, and we had a small rain earlier.

I had some shopping yesterday afternoon with friends, a quick trip to pay some bills, and then home. Today will be the second of four-part maintenance, where I will spend the afternoon away and then plan my grocery list and chart what bills need to be reserved. Tomorrow, Amazon is due, and then another trip to town for another appointment.

Good afternoon, Everyfriend!  I'm finished with all the laundry and it only took me 9 small or medium loads.  The bed is all remade and clean from the mattress cover/pad to the bedspread!  I even turned over the mattress.  It was past time and with everything off, it happened...not easily but it happened!  It always amazes me when I do something like that and it works.

PATRICIA, we've had a soft and gentle rain all day and it isn't supposed to end until sometime Wednesday.  If it just stays gentle, I won't mind because we sure do need it!  It's feels more like April than September out  and that's fine with me, too.

Cooper had his last walk with me in the rain and his supper and he's ready for his Mommy to come home from work.  I think she works until 6:30 so he has a little bit to wait.

I'm taking the evening off and watching a bit of TV...maybe with my knitting needles in my hands and maybe not!  We shall see!  Take it easy Everyfriend and enjoy the rest of your day!

 JaneS I am not shure what you are talking about. but Nancy will not travel with me right now. And I am too far from each of you th give hugs, But if i were closer to you all I would give you allma hug as I arive and anotherr as I say goodby as I leave. we are at66º and clouddy. Have a rest of your day good I hope as you like it.

Ps I need to figure out how to have Apicyure of Nancy and me taken and posted here. my grand deaughter Is fine with me but no post of our kinship. talk to you all later.
Lloyd

Time to hit the haystack! 

Sorry, LLOYD, I don't understand what I might have said that you referred to!

I added one more load of laundry to my day.  I took the dog cover off the sofa and threw it in the laundry.  Frankie is off tomorrow and I don't expect them to be here so it was the perfect time to do that!  Now I'm heading for the bedroom and hopefully a good night's sleep. 

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!

Good morning..

Starting out at 46° and sunny.

Busy day ahead, with chores , phone calls and a man conig to see what we need to change over to propane heat next year.Will bake some peach pies   somewhere in between that.

Better move it... can't put an egg in my boot , used the egg in the pastry..

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

It Is very foggie here this morining very lo visibilty and 65º and fog. I havea appointment at va and Nancy has a therpist comming so she can not go with me. and she has a grocery list for me to stop at sams club and get the two will take up most of my day. Have a good day.

Lloyd

Good Morning Everyfriend!  It's still drizzling here and the grass and bushes are slurping it up.  It's been a dry summer and they're really thirsty!

LLOYD, be careful and take your time.  it'll all get done!

AMY,  if you can't "put and egg in your boot" I guess you'll just have to "get a wiggle on"!

I'm taking the day off today until I have to get ready for a regular Dr. checkup at 5 this afternoon.  Frankie has the day off so I don't even have Cooper although they might both stop by later.  He needs a bath and she only has a shower at her apartment so they use my tub.

I'm going to go out and see if the paper came and then pour myself a cup of coffee and read the news and do the crossword and the word jumble.  Then I might clean off my desk.  It's under there somewhere!

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

Good morning from a cooler, cloudy day presently at 45 and only a high of 61. Not much going on here other than another quick trip to town and meeting a couple of friends on the lee side. I have two more successive maintenance issues on Mondays and one more building water shut-off, and I'm hoping that's it, at least for the winter.

Jane, I think the misunderstanding between you and Lloyd may have started with his inadvertently copying Amy's post; you remarking on it with, "LLOYD, was your day starting out so much like AMY's that you just copied her post?  That would be unusual with the great distance between you!" I think those two posts, including Amy's phrase, "Highway will be a can of worms with folks heading back home getting their kids ready go to school tomorrow." furthered the confusion for both you and Lloyd.

Thanks for clearing that up, PATRICIA.  You're probably right about it!

Jane, I guess the wiggle on is it. I used  2 more eggs in the  2 dozen butter tarts ,made a peach pie and a cinnamon roll. Syrup boiled again
 for the pickles,then  just sat down for a cuppa tea and folks came in to look and buy a trug. After they left I high tailed it to the neighbours to give Rex his pill and Callie a tummy rub.
I am going to do very little,wanted ot say do nothing but we all know how that goes.
Phone call from Dr with results from Kyles holter and tests were great! No change in meds , just carry on.

Now waiting on the propane fella......

well I went to VA and got Good newse. I am getting new glasses and new hearing aids both,, to be sent in the mail. If I had a smart phone, the could have hearing aids that would have hooked to it and had better controle, But I do not and have tried them in the past, but I was not smart enough to operate the smart phones, and cost me a hundred $ both times to turn them back in,so I just stay with my old flip phone. but my left eye is weeaker than the right one and the new glasses are going to come already adjusted to the deffrance. I should be like in a new wourld. see you all latter.

Lloyd

Well, this day is over and I can't say I'll miss it.  It had it's good stuff to offer though!  So I'll take it.  My regular checkup at the Dr. brought good news.  I'm healthy!  He changed one prescription so I don't have to be running to the drug store every month.  Now I can pick it up every 3 months!  And I got another one to try to curb an ongoing problem.  If it works...Hooray!  If it doesn't...out it goes!

Now I'm off to the haystack!  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!

well I is eleven 08 PM and I hit the wrong key and another post went into La La Land. If I think about what I was saynig again I will post it. ( part of was about my diying on the operating table and brought back to Life again) and that Is a tuue fact. when I was being operated on My back injory. they stuck the needeel in my spine and were letting the die fflow up my spine, when it hit the ruptcher where between L4 and L5 it looked like you had threw a egg on the wiendshield and it whent all drections, my heart litleary stopped beating, and they took those electiic paddles and shocked it back to beating. there were three docters standing around me one was holding the paddles and one was pushing on my chest In rithem and getting in tune. the first words I heard was one of them saying Lloyd come back and stay with us you are too young to go. see you all later.

Lloyd

Sweet dreams & God Bless All....  Same ole-same ole, keeping busy just spinning my wheels.
Summer is hanging on and the outside jobs haven't ended so I'm still whining. It is still 81 degrees outside so no fresh air yet. Other years it was always cool enough to have fresh air & a breeze to fall asleep to but not this year. But it is beddie by time so away I go!
