Jane, did you see Patricia's air fryer cooking in What's For Dinner" ?

The temp was below 40 when I looked but there finally was FTOST an the cars, Now to get a good freeze to kill off the ragweed. Will have those allergy symptoms till then. But it is clear and sunny.

Good morning; 32 degrees here, and overnight we had our second snow, the one that stays throughout the winter. The weather report also calls for a warmup and more snow over the weekend and next week. I'm late getting here this morning, I had some morning duties, and our regime of calls and texts ran long.

I noticed that Farrah had been quietly retraining me. If she sees me heading to the kitchen, she will either follow and stop by the closet holding her food supplies or over by the counter holding her treats. In the morning, she follows and sits in the hallway if I hold one finger up in a wait position. All of this evolved without any verbal direction on my part.

Not much to report.  Got a lot of work done yesterday preparing for the winter weather to come.  Gutters cleaned of leaves and debris.  Much too big job for Bob these days, but it has to be done.  Hoped to get the Halloween Decos out but ran out of time....or maybe it was steam🤪🤪🤪

Loved your funny for the day, PATRICIA 🤣🤣

We need to run some errands today and I need to get a move on.

Enjoy your day EVERYFRIEND🦋🦋

Jenny

Good Evening,  Remember me?

It's been a pleasantly busy month but I don't have much to show for it. Have been reading posts and silently commenting but am usually on my Tablet and don't like tapping that keyboard instead of using touch typing on this computer.  Then I get sidetracked by errands, Domestic Duties, desk work, business/"maintenance" medical appointments and various repairs needing attention.

 Can you canners and preservers: beat this?  #1 son/dil have - over the past week - made 101 jars of jelly and still have more to go!!!  Flavors so far are: Peach, Peach Amaretto, Peach Bourbon, Peach Blacberry and Spiced Rum Peach.
 Report is that they still have to make Blackberry and Watermelon Lemonade (I have NO idea what this one is!!!!!).
When they finish - their Christmas "shopping" for friends and family will be done.

Re: temperatures:    Last weekend, we had a Hard Freeze - 28 degrees.  This weekend the forecast is for 90 degrees tomorrow and 89 on Sunday.  It is also terribly dry with humidities of 15%.  Obviously, 44 of the 77 counties are under a strict Fire Ban.
I think Patricia is graciously    sending us a Major Arctic Front - which is supposed to arrive some time on Monday.  Apparently, Hurricane "Rosalie" is coming over Mexico and will meet the MAF somewhere over Oklahoma.    .

Sleep well, Everyfriend and have Pleasant Dreams.

Hello Everyfriend!  Well, CALLIE, my daughter keeps telling me I should avoid midsummer in Okla. the next time I visit her.  It was so hot while I was there that it was almost stifling.  I'm not sure if I'd like freezing better!  Or even freezing for a couple of days and then burning up for a couple of days!

All the chicken corn soup is cleaned up, labeled and stashed.  Now what do I do?

I suppose I could get into jam like CALLIE'S kids.  Oh, No!  I already did that!

I'm on my own tomorrow.  The only thing that might bring Cooper here is is Frankie's friend wants to go to some shindig in Harrisburg.  I guess we'll see!

I'm off to the haystack now.  I'm a bit more than half-way through my library book with three full days to finish it!  I think I'll make it.  When I pick it up, I can't put it down!  Anyway, it's down now and I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!

Good morning..

We are hading into nicer weather..warmer with no rain so they say. THat means laundry will blow on the line today. Need to make some bread and will put together an apple pie. Picked up Spy apples at the Mennonite Market yesterday, have not seen Spy apples in a long time here.

Callie, that is a lot of jelly, lucky family and friends to receive  some.

Jane, like you I am don't other than canning soup and bakes beans.

Jenny, time and steam go hand in hand, wish they weren't such good buddies.

Patricia, my friend phoned to say her hubby told her that they got snow 3 inches of it at the huntcamp which is about 2 hours for here..

Best get on with the day

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend and especially you, AMY.  You're the only one here since I signed out last night. 

We had a freeze overnight but it's supposed to get into the mid 60s today with sunshine.  I have to go get a shower and get dressed just in case Cathy decides to take me to the recycle center this morning.  The is one of the 2 days a month that they're open!

Other than that, I have no plans except to get back into my library book and see what's cooking.  The mystery is building!  I haven't heard from Frankie so I don't know if Cooper will be around or not.  I guess I'll wait and see!

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

Good Morning everyone. well we are at 63º here this morning,with a few scattered clouds.well I was working on the moter home yesterday, had to work on one of the battery charger cords,got damaged. Need both chargers, as there two sets of four batterys,one set for the deiceal driver engine and one for the genarater for the electricty, Have a good day just as you like it.

Lloyd

What an awesome day!! Laundry is in off the line, pot of baked beans done and an apple pie cooling off in time for supper. We sat outside twice to have our tea ,enjoying the nice weather. We do know what is around the corner so enjoying this while we can.

Good afternoon, I'm late. Still, I'm going to quote Callie as she is a better word crafter than me, "by errands, Domestic Duties, desk work, business/"maintenance" medical appointments and various repairs needing attention."

I had three black garbage bags of old papers pass into the shredder, and my files are finally complete for 2013 through most of  October 2022. Along the way, I discovered much that I had forgotten. I have a terrible habit of stuffing mail and paper into storage boxes with the intention of going back later to file properly.

I had managed to put that off for nine years, and it was either go out for more storage boxes or give in and file properly. People tell me to go paperless, but I don't trust that.

I also took time for a tenant's meeting and lunch with some friends in the city, so, Callie, thanks for the explanation I appropriated.

Yesterday and today, we had snow interrupted by periods of rain, then slush, which looks to be our forecast through the weekend, only to get colder next week.

good everyone, well we Have two grand deaugeaters Haveing birthdays this month, we all met at our daughters hous to celabrate them this afternoon.It wasa great feed, needless to say no need for me to try to have a reasonable Blood sugar to post,one peice of cherrie chease cake and one small peice of chocklett chease cake and a houre after we are home and my blood sugar was 302 so no file .just take my Inslan shot and go to bed see what I have in the morning, have a good rest of the evening and sweet dreams see yoou all in the morning,loard willing and the creek dont rise too high.

Lloyd

Good Morning Everyfriend!  Yesterday was a beautiful day in central Pennsylvania and today is supposed to be another one.  The temps got into to the freezing zone overnight but went up into the low 70s during the day.  They are supposed to do the same thing today!  Typical Fall days in this area!

They are having a special occasion at our local movie theater.  It's the 50th anniversary of the the movie "A League of Their Own".  There are two of the players in their 90s who are going to make an appearance here and they are doing other special things.  This movie has become one of my all time favorites because back in 1947 I went to Peoria, Illinois to visit my Uncle and family and there was a ladies professional team there called the Peoria Redwings.  My uncle was a fan and we went to as many games as possible while I was there.  It's still vivid in my mind!  My daughter and I are going to the movie and the special events this afternoon!  I'm excited about this.  I think I might be the only person in Lewisburg...maybe even in PA...to have seen these teams play in person! 

Now I have to get myself ready for church!  I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Good morning..

Going to be another grand day here weather wise and a day of rest.

Meeting up with friends to exchange items we have for each other then I hope to sew.

Jane sounds like a full an exciting day for you!!

Patricia, can make snowmen with slushy snow!! But then with your lack of humidity there you wouldn't get packy snow to make them or snowballs would you??

Better get ready..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Just stopping by to wish you all Goodnight but then there haven't been very many of you in here today.  Between my post this morning and my post tonight, only AMY came by!  That makes the cleaning up easy.  AMY, I see you had a milk shake and you washed your own glass.  I stuck it back on the shelf since it was dry when I got here!

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

Lloyd

Good morning..
Going to be another lovely day here. Yesterday was perfect, twice we sat outside having our tea. I heard a strange call as we were sitting out and looked up to see 6 trumpter swans winging their way north! Helped Kyle with the last of the leaves ,so that is another job done.

Friends came and we had a great visit with them, we swaped items we had for each other then they were on their way home.I was going to get some sewing done but she had brought some sewing books and my nose got stuck in them .

Today is pull the parsnips, wash them and bag for the fridge and friends too. Then house hold duties that need to be done is next.

Jane , thank you for putting the glass away for me.

Phyliss hope all is well is your neck of the woods.

Better get ready for the day..

Enjoy your day and stay safe

Good Morning Everyfriend...especially AMY and LLOYD who have poked their heads in to say "Hello".  Cooper arrived, has had his breakfast and is waiting for his walk. 

I emptied the clean dishes out of the dishwasher while I waited for his arrival and had my coffee and then we had breakfast together.  Now it's light out there so we'll be taking our walk.  When we get back, I'll be getting ready for my Dr. appt later this morning.  It's my check up for the surgery.  Doesn't seem like a year ago that I had that!

When we get back I  have a plan for meat loaf and scalloped potatoes for supper and that's my only plan for the day.  However, the yard guy will be here to trim back the Rose of Sharon bushes if the rrain stops.  According to my phone, the rain has stopped and it's just supposed to be cloudy all day. 

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

Good morning all. On and off rain here. Breakfasst and coffee done and dishes in the Dishwasher. Monday is "pill counting" day and that's done. Charging some batteries from a security system is well on it's way. That's enough for today. The rest will be TV, relax, and naps. Maybe a little putzin around.

Pill counting day?   Mine is
Wednesday!!   Such an inportant time
which allows me to pay attention to my
prescription meds and supplements.   

I am always so glad when that day has
come and gone,  with job done!!!

It is raining here on the rocky
coast of Maine.    Fall has fallen
and now on to the dreaded Winter and
holiday season.     

And we grow a day older,  if
that is in our cards!   

Enjoy, Enjoy!
Sandy
 

WHERE IS EVERYFRIEND?

I'm here, but my lip is zipped.   Just kidding. I was wondering that too.  As old as I get I'm mostly stuck with speak when I'm talked too.

I wonder if there is some kind of access problem.  None of the usual posters have been in - Marilyne, Amy, Shirley, Lloyd, Patricia.  Is West of the Mississippi missing?

Well, I guess I've mulled my problems enough it's time to tell what going on in my head. I came in a lot of times but not ready to tell all. I switched cardiologists because his group won't give me any options to see if my breathing problems are just normal issues I've had various times over the years. 

But it's been 2 years since the last echocardiogram & the test this past week looks pretty serious. Still on hold for what/how they can do to fix. SO, it's more or less just waiting to see IF I WILL go along with what they say. Got 3 valves leaking bad so depends on the next conversation, not going to let them kill me like they did my brother! 

Still have an appointment set for the pulmulmonogilistis.. haha, that is NOT how to spell that word... on Nov.7 to see if oxygen might help but think the cardios already have their mind made up. A lot to consider, one thing is if I must take blood thinners, that isn't an option for me. I had every side effect to the 3 main brands, and at the time told them I wouldn't want to live under those conditions.

Right now I'm alive & still able to enjoy life, even if I huff & puff. I'm even going to fix the turkeys, dressing, gravy & noodles for the Thanksgiving dinner. Got plenty of help to haul it to the host house, actually I fix 2 small birds to get all the flavors for everything. The other "girls" will fix everything else & since everyone wants to come, I will hang in one more year of cooking! Love it...

My house is still a disaster but am doing a lot of cleaning out knick-knacks & the excess, lots to get rid of. I've kind of run amuck since Cas died & collected way more than needed and nary a garage sale to get rid of a lot.

So that is what the mouth has been up to. I'm loving the cooler weather & even had some rain today, not pour down rain & didn't have the rain gauge out so no clue how much, but the ground was wet!

Hope to get my new glasses in a day or so. Was funny when picking out the frames, wanted the same as I got for the sunglasses. The optomitrist couldn't read the tiny numbers on the ear piece with a magnifying glass so I took my glasses off to read them for him without ANY glasses & he was stunned, asked why I just didn't get single vision instead & I explained that single vision made it impossible for me to read the speedometer & not a good thing with a lead foot! We gotta just use what we're dealt!

Rick, I've been sort of doing the same about only talking when talked to. Tomorrow is a day to get moving with errands to run & more laundry to do. I was putting away summer clothes & had to drag some back out. Hot one day & cold the next. Back to a sweatshirt today & that doesn't help clean up the stacks of clothes. I am super sleepy tonight so better put things away & get ready for bed.

By the way, I don't "do pills" but remember what a chore it was for Cas. Cas had 2 brown grocery bags full he filled his pill boxes with for 4 times a day. Life savers for some & killers for others. Off to la-la land. Sweet dreams & God Bless. Love ya'all.......Oops, you slipped in, Rick, thanks for missing me!

Quote from: Shirley on October 24, 2022, 10:57:05 PMRick, thanks for missing me!

Gotta keep an eye on sis.

Good morning..

A pea soup of a day out there..going to have to get the fog plows out!

Managed to accomplish a lot yesterday,floors all vacuumed and washed, bread made and parsnips and the rest of the carrots pulled.

Today is pick up Kyles med and wash windows.Will see just how many  get done.

Rick, passing you the WD40 for help unzip your lip. You reminded me  I also have to reload my pill case, I just take vitamins but like to do 5-6 at a time .Didn't have access problems just not enough time to sit and write. Did sit and read then off I go again.


Shirley, we pulled a 5 gallon bucket of parsnips from the trug...finish washing them off and putting them away is also a job for today. My friends husband phone to say she came through her knee replacement and will come home today if all goes well. Next they are working on her breathing, she has heart problems but don't know if both are related.

Better get ready to meet the day..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.
