Good morning...

We are off to the city to pick up quilts this morning and on our way back pick up our push lawnmower that a friend fixed for us. Just a quick trip in and home.

Jane, happy that you also got good news!! I am trying hard NOT to buy a bushel of tomatoes and do down..they are $30.00 and really nice. I have a few jars left from last year and think we will coast on them and then next year I will do the tomatoes.

Shirley, that was a short beddie time!! We are more than ready for cooler air here. Outside jobs will always be around,same with inside but in due time they will (maybe) get done.

Better get my duds on.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I'm up but I'm definitely not ATTEM yet.  I didn't sleep very well last night and my arm hurts a bit where I got my flu shot.  I guess that's normal but I'm supposed to get another shot and I'm trying to avoid having them in my left are.  That's the one I broke and the one they took a blood vessel from to use in my face operation!  I'd rather not have to baby it again.  I doubt very much if they'll put another shot in my right arem and I'm not at all sure I want them to do that!  I guess we'll see when I get there.

If I made mistakes in this typing, it's because I put the drops in my eyes and I can't really see what I'm doin on this screen.  I think when you put in the stuff to post larger, it should show it to the typist larger too.  But that's just my opinion and I guess I might be stuck with it!

I'm off to see what can be done this morning.  I don't have Cooper today because Frankie's care is being inspected and she's depending on others for rides today.  I miss him.  I think maybe he brings me to life!

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

I just reread my post and it sounds like I might be in a bad mood.  I'm not.  Just a bit ruffled this morning.

well It IT IS 806 am and clear skys/ sunny and not a cloud IN sight 67º now. I havent ate morning meal so better get at it. see you all later.

Well, I guess everyone who used to post in here is over at Norm's Bait and Tackle and since I can't post over there, there's not much use of coming here.  Good night Everyfriend!

Why can't you post there & why not stay here?

I've been really swamped with "to-dos" this week & hoping for time out one of these days. Seems all I do is whine or grip about work & weather. 

Jane, I know I've posted over in Norm's now & then, when something catches my eye... but a long time ago one of our fearless leaders suggested that "we not carry a conversation from one site to another" (or something like that)... at least that was how I took it, so I do comment where ever.  Let's blame it on Covid, I really think it's a combo of Covid & the WEATHER. I'd like to run away from home for a week but no-can-do just yet.   

Got to eat a bite before heading to bed. Been a strange day. Sweet dreams and God Bless.

I know I've been swamped in administrative paperwork seemingly forever this summer. Plus, the water was shut off for eight hours today. The second time just this month! The building is undergoing inspections and maintenance, replacing some building washers and driers, and putting in new fences and cameras on my side of the building.

 Then I saw a missed call from the apartment office, which I'll have to check tomorrow. I just haven't had much time to myself, and I think that's everyone right now.

I feel that Norm's B&T and the Soda Shop tend to have different discussion types, and I'm with Shirley; there's a place for both.

There has been so much going on that people are dealing with natural disasters, family issues, and whatnot, leading to little time to chat.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I don't really have a lot of time to spend visiting on the computer either but I really miss you all when I don't hear from you. 

Cooper has arrived, had his breakfast and we tool a very productive walk.  Now I need to go fill the bird feeder and clean out the bird bath and get ready to do some errands whenever Cathy is ready. 

The weather out there feels like Fall and looks like it too.  This is one of my favorite times of the year and I have to stay inside and do paper work.  Drat!!!

SHIRLEY, I was once ORDERED not to interrupt a conversation on NB&T and that's what turned me off.  I was new enough in here to take it personally and I haven't been able to turn it off!  So I stay away!

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

Good morning...

Love starting out at 54° this morning but I am sure the temp will rise fast.
Nothing special going on today...just the usual work and if time permits sew the binding on the quilt to get ready for a new home.

Patricia, my time has been tied up with getting the garden off, pickles, canned or frozen but soon that shall be done.

Jane, enjoy your time with Cathy.....does it mean a trip to the market?

Jenny, where are you??

Better scoot

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

well good Mid morning. I slept in this morning again. It Is sunny 75º and clear. no clouds. i got my new glasses in the mail this morning. am supposed to get new hearing aids, that will talk to me by smart phone,whitch I do not have one. I tried one in the past but was not smart enough to operate it. I think I wiill see if VA will get me one, and have our deaughter give lessons on it. talk to you later.

Llod

             

LLOYD, Good luck with your phone and hearing aids.  I wish I lived closer to my OK daughter.  She's an expert on things like computer, phones and anything electronic.  She's also a number one accountant that her Dallas office would not let leave them when she moved to OK.  When I was there, if I had a question, she answered it!

Now I'm heading for the haystack!  I had a Shingles shot today and I'm ready to sleep it off!  I wish you all a peaceful night and a happy tomorrow, and may God bless us, every one.

And by the way WHERE IS EVERYONE?

I'm over here in the corner, just trying to keep out of the way.

and Janes I am with you I enjoy S & F, But better when there are more activity, even the loveing and tasing of everyone. I realey enjoyed it much better when we travled and had the bashes. Iwould get in the moterhome and go in a heartbeat if nancy would go with me. like I said life is not much fun any more, good night and sweet dreams. it is nice to have some $$$$ in edward jones. but we cant take it with us when god calls our #. so better spend it now rwther than leave it for children to fight over who needs it worse. Good night and sweet dreams.

Lloyd

not shure My post went in the propper place but i did post,see you all tomorrow.

Lloyd

Jane, I came in here first to offer my sympathy but didn't find Jackie had been so flew on over to Norm's and she did leave a message there.... so I responded to her there. I also had been a little offended with something said in that discussion but think I finally just took it as "they didn't mean how they sounded"... and while this spot is #1 for me, I do visit a couple other places (also Photos). I do think Covid has made a difference in what little we have to talk about... I lead a pretty narrow life.

Lloyd, my fear is making sure there's enough left to pay for nursing care if the body gives out. My worst nightmare is having to have any of my children physically take care of me if I'd have a stroke or such. Besides, in my will my 3 kids will share anything left over equally, no thought of need. If one worked harder & saved more they shouldn't be penalized for having done it.

Maybe Nancy would rather travel with you in a standard size car and stay in a motel, did you ask her?  I happen to hate staying in motels and would rather sleep in a Walmart parking lot than in the best of motels. I'd rather be in a National Park campground or State Park where you don't hear someone snore in the next room or camp site... but no matter how nice looking a motel/hotel, they do not wash all the covers or carpet between people that stay in the rooms. My daughter doesn't want any part of camping and neither did her father so must compromise! I'd rather stay home that stay in a commercial campground, seriously.

I also won't stay with family because I grew up in Sedalia & every distant relative wanted to visit during Fair Week so Mother would be changing beds (we kids would sleep on the floor in one of the unused rooms), she would fix them breakfast before they headed to the Fair and something to eat when they came back after the 10:00pm fireworks. The last straw was when my father's sister came to visit and brought HER 2 grandaughters the week she was keeping them so Mom had to feed & haul them around all Fair Week.

Finally one of Mom's friends that owned a motel asked if Mother would consider renting a room to one of her regular customers that came with 4-kids but that year for some reason he couldn't stay at the grounds with the kids & hadn't made reservations.  Mom said "Okay" & he became a regular after that and she was happy because she didn't have to cook for him! We all have our reasons for liking or not liking to do some things, right?

Bedtime... sweet dreams to all and God Bless. 

Good Morning Everyfriend!  Cooper has arrived and had his breakfast and is ready for his first walk of the day.  It's foggy and chilly out there.  A typical start to a typical Fall day.

SHIRLEY, I was NOT mistaken when the person in NBT told me to "Stay out of the converstation, there"  I was called by name, twice and I was reminded.  I was barely starting and it hurt.  I got over it but I've never been comfortable even reading in there.  And that's all there is to it!

And now for the good stuff!  I didn't have any reaction to the shot yesterday...not even a sore spot on my arm!  Amazing!  I like that young lady who did it!

Today is a "think about what needs done" day!  I have no real plans.  My twins are 62 today.  And tomorrow Cindy and her husband in OKLa. will have their birthday!  We sure did jam them all together!  On the 19th and 21st two of my grands have their birthdays!  The oldest one will turn 40.  It's hard to believe!

Have a GREAT day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow.

Good morning..

Busy day here ,finally saying good bye to the icicle pickles. They should be all bottled today....6 batchs of them!! Will be looking after the critters next door to.

Jane, oh my you have a lot of celebrating in Sept!!

I slept in so had better get a wiggle on and catch up with the day.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning everyone. JaneS I am sort of with you.I am a lover not a fighter, untill I have been pushed too hard, and then I can come out fighteing,so to speak, we have clear skye to day, and curently 59º,I sure enjoy my time here IN S & F's. the new hearing aids I am getting can be controled with a smart phone, but I have tried a smart phone twice and I was not smart enough to operate them properly, and cost me a $100.00 to turn them back each time. that is enough for me. I will just stick to my old track flip phone. I love people in geniral. but i also am contient to set in my space watching a good western on TV. and if any of you happen to get close enough feel, free to stop in. we have a spair bedroom that is empty and clean mostof the time. and the moter home has a bedroom and a coch that will also make into a quein sizd bed we could plug it in and turn on the AC. Have the rest of the day good,

Lloyd

I haven't counted up the latest number of November birthdays we have in this family but a lot and keep adding more greats or spouses to the "litter".

No more talk about where you want to visit, Jane, for sure we all make our choices for a good reason!

We have a "cool spell cummin on" so time to get that yard work done. Have a wonderful week end.

Good morning Lloyd & Amy.

Well, I'm off to the haystack, too.  I slept through most of 2 Perry Mason's and then I just turned it off and came in here and did a little necessary work and now I'm tired.

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

P.S.  Don't remember if I told you my niece's long time best friend was undergoing open heart surgery this week.  Our prayers were answered and she came through it with flying colors.  She's up and walking today and maybe going home on Mon or Tues.

Lloyd

Good Morning Everyfriend!  it's a cool, Fall-like morning this morning and also a bit misty out there.  I won't be seeing Cooper today because Frankie is off and is planning to spend the day "catching up" on house stuff!  But I will be up to my ears in paper work so I might not be back in until bed time.  And if my eyes are all "buggy" I might not even make it then. 

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

Good morning..

Weather is cool here also.....but not for long.

Labeling and putting away the icicle pickles, laundry and a visit with friends.

Jane, take a break when doing your paper work, it gives your eyes a bit of a rest.I am going to try that recipe you told me about and put it in the air fryer.

Patricia, how are things your way? Weather improving?

Better skedaddle..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning from a chill Interior at 41 degrees and another day of rain. Yesterday, we had the opposite of our spring greening. At ten AM, everything was green. When next I looked at 1:30 PM, there was orange everywhere, showing in bushes and trees. The other colors should show up soon; Thursday, we had thirty and forty MPH winds with some trees down and one or two outages in the valley. However, we only had flickers.

So far, our fall is progressing normally, and if it keeps up, our past normal first snow should be around Halloween. I say past normal as it has recently had heavy snow in the middle of October. The last two winters broke every winter record for snow and for the amount of humidity in a dry climate.

This fall has been busy with elections, seasonally and annual paperwork, building construction, inspections, and talk of a rental increase. Our new normal is expecting everything new, unexpectations and not so improved.
