All this talk about work is making me tired. I suppose I should do something          Beside more coffee

I actually have a cooking comment to make!!!!1 

Today, I put some round steak in the slow cooker.  Wanted to add some chopped onion but hate peeling/chopping them.

 I've enjoyed PictSweet frozen veggies (particularly the yellow squash and the sweet potatoes for the same reason) and recently discovered PictSweet has chopped onions to add to recipes.  A full package equals 2 medium onions.

I was using my 1 1/2 quart cooker so measured out 1/2 cup and added to skillet after browning meat then added to cooker.  Worked like a charm!

And that's all from this corner. 

     Picked up my computer and all is good!! Can't do anything to the laptop as it has windows 7 on it.He said if I had of brought it in last Oct he could have but now to install windows 10 it costs 200.00 and I am not doing that. He said to use firefox and I can do that without the 200.00 charge

I did get bread made but not Kyles raisin bread, that will be for another day. Took garbage away to the dump before picking up the computer so that is one job off tomorrows list. 

Callie, your meal sounds delicious!! I was looking for chopped onions this morning at the store, lots of pearl onions but no chopped, man said they were having a hard time getting them.

Jane, wild leeks are delicious. Many yyears ago in one room school houses boy would eat wild leeks and the teacher would end up sending them home!! That meant a day of playing or fishing for them.

When did "Firefox" become an operating system? It is a Search Engine. It has no relation to Windows 10, at least in my limited knowledge.  If somebody has differing information, please let me know, as I am still struggling with Win 7. LOL!  I have a laptop with Windows 8.1, but it got "locked up" somehow when I didn't use it for about 2 yrs. It was in the closet. It has all these updates on it, that I cant seem to Delete, so it's "doorstop" material, I guess.

Yes, Rammel, all the talk about work just makes me as tired as if I had participated!  Hey I did clean the toilets this A.M.  And I am still drinking coffee, but the drowsies are messing with me.  I may have to commit to a nap...is that still "a thing" in today's terminology.

The sun came out late morning,  but a new batch of funny looking clouds has come and gone, and the basic weather is much chillier than previous few days, ( 80 plus).  The pretty pink and white blossoms have fallen from all the trees, and the green stuff is falling (pollen) and messing up all the parked cars and delicate sinuses.  Aaahhchoo!

Y'all be safe, try to have some fun the rest of today, eat something good, even if you have to cook it yourself, read a book, watch something on TV, call a friend just to say hello!  And the BIG test...Post on Seniors & Friends, so we will know you are still occupying space on this beleagured Planet.

Tome, I have no idea! He just said to use firefox.I think Rick could explain it better. I just know that I wasn't  paying  200.00
This is my back up when my pc yoes on the hum. I am just tyankful he fixes the computer fast! If he wasn't  here, we would have to go to the city.

Firefox is a BROWSER. I have FF still working on a Win-XP computer, a Win7 Laptop, and this computer, a Win-10 computer. I like FF, and it updates by itself, does all I need.

Rick, thank you for  explaining that.

I've had Firefox as my main browser for a number of years and try to evade Microsoft as much as possible which isn't easy. I also use DuckDuckGo as a search engine. It's known for privacy and makes it's mission to stop spyware.

I was very surprised and happy to find that the on board browser on this laptop I purchased in January had W10 rather than W11 as with W10, you are still able to delete many programs that you are stuck with on W11.

Good Night Everyfriend!  I got a lot done today and I'm beat!  I played with Cooper; did laundry; changed the bed; did a little cooking; went for 3 walks and....what else? 

I'm heading for the haystack!  I'll be back tomorrow!

Good morning...

A liquid sunshine day today, no laundry on the line today. Rain will make the snow banks disappear! Let the dogs out and the geese are awake and talking this morning.

Work around home after picking up meds and having tea/coffee with friends.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morm
ning AMY and anyone else who shows up in here.  it's a slow day so far.  But tomorrow is my oldest daughter, Cathy's birthday and we're going out to one of her favorite restaurants for brunch. 

Right now I think I'll join Cooper on the sofa and give my eyes a choice of open or close.  I have a good guess what will win out.  Enjoy your day!

Good morning from an Interior at five degrees. Nothing new here, chores, meet and greets and coffee are all done. Now to see what the snowy day brings.

The day is slipping by!! Did get somethings done, others can just wait.
Rain most of the day, I did see the rhubarb peeking but I am sure we will get a frost and or snow to nip its nose!!

Made an appointment to get new tires put on the vehicle ,I don't think we will need the snows any longer. (I hope! )

Jane, Cathy's b/day is 5 days ahead of David's!

Patricia, did you get a lot of snow? Down east they are getting a good snack of it!!!

AMY, Happy Birthday to David.  I'll try to remember to text him on Friday!

I have Cooper overnight tonight so we had another walk in the rain and it was coming down pretty hard and still is.  It's not supposed to stop until after midnight!  Along all the streets there are gigantic puddles and water running down the streets and into the culverts!  We didn't stay out very long the last walk and I'm not going again tonight!  If he has to go again it will be in the yard!

More of Spring is the water from the sky but it's supposed to be April Showers"!

I think I better wish you all Good Night.  I might not get back sooooooooooo......

GOOD NIGHT EVERYFRIEND!  Sleep well and wake refreshed!

Amy, with all the clouds and snow, we received 0.01 inches and are expecting the same tomorrow. We don't have the humidity for more.

Happy, happy birthdays to Cathy and David, I hope they're both have a grand time with family and friends!

    To Jane's Cathy today  

Good morning..

Well the clock spring ,sprang ,sprung ahead but my spring musta stayed in bed!

Raining now but earlier it was snow!

A day of rest here, think that Swamp soup is going to be made, just to try it out. No idea of whats for supper.......yet.

Jane, did Cooper steal most of the bed?

Patricia,that is an amount one can deal with!!

Will pass the HB's on to David, thank you.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.



 
 

Good (early) morning!  Cooper is up, he's been out in the yard and had his breakfast.  Right now he's telling me it's time for a walk but due to the time change it's still dark out there!  And I don't go out until I can see what's there

PATRICIA, I'll pass your birthday wishes on to Cathy and I bet this might be the first time she was ever wished a Happy Birthday from Alaska!

The sky is lightening so Cooper and I will be off for a walk  Enjoy your day Everyfriend and do't forget to share it with us!!

PS.  I'll pass your wishes on to Cathy also AMY and those might be her first Canadian wishes!  And Cooper snuggled but he didn't hog the bed.

Good morning, 9:20 am in the Interior at a cooler zero degrees. It's getting light out there and the snow looks dirty and crunchy, it's melting into its self but the ice remains.

Morning chores and meet and greets are over with and coffee's made, while the only agenda item remaining is to water my plants this afternoon.

[/font][/Good evening Everyfriend!  It sleepy time where I am.  No Cooper tomorrow.  Frankie has the day off.

PATRICIA and AMY, Cathy thanks both of you for the birthday wishes and I was half right about them.  PATRICIA, your wishes for cathy were her first from Alaska but she reminded me that back when Christy was first married, she lived in Montreal for 5 year so she's had some from there but yors are her first from Ontario!  She thanks you both!

Now I'm ready to hit the haystack!  These time changes take it out of me!  Sleep well.  Wake refreshed.  Have a good day tomorrow and come back and visit us.  b]

Good morning

 Starting out at 23° and windy!! Calling for snow but hope it doesn't answer.

Not sure what is on for today other than work around home. Better do some baking,cookies are shy,containers need refilling.

I made the Swamp soup yesterday and the only thing I would do different is cut back on the orzo...maybe use 1/2 cup instead of 1 and add some carrots peas and turnip . I didn't put the meat in as beans were the protein.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning! I'm up but I'm definitely NOT attem!!!  I do not like Daylight Saving Time!  I never did!! And I never will!!!

I hope you all enjoy today better than I do!  I'll try to get back later 

Good morning, it's zero degrees and blustery out there. I had another sleepless night, was still awake at three. So, if it wasn't for my meet and greets, I'd still be in the land of Nod.

Morning household duties, as Callie would say, are finished and Farrah fed while I sit with my first cup of coffee. Yesterday, I took out the trash, watered my six plants, and deep cleaned the bathroom, so today will be a day of rest.

Not much happening in here today!  Not much happening over her at my place either!  No Cooper today but he'll be back tomorrow.  I did get my walking done but that's about all.  It was cold and blustery all day and the sun glared down on everything.  It's supposed to be a bit warmer tomorrow but more rain will be coming.  I guess the rain forgot it's supposed to wait for April.

Guess I'll hit the haystack.  Have a good night Everyfriend, and a good tomorrow!

Good morning...

Made cookies yesterday and put some in the hidey hole. Today I take the vehicle in to get the winter tires of and summers put on. That will be it for me today I think.. Starting out at 22° heading to 50�° with very little sun to see.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning AMY.  I'll have a cookie and be back later.

Sunny and cold here. But it is to warm up later in the morning. Still must get inspired to do something today.

I need to be inspired. too.  I slept good but didn't want to get up and I don't want to do anything.  I suppose I'd better eat breakfast and then go "walk" on the elliptical machine.  After that, fold the laundry and then?  who knows?

No wonder I don't want to do all that.....sounds really boring. Oh well, at least I am up.  Take care, All.

well, I didn't feel like doing anything either but I was up early to meet Cooper and he wanted to take a walk.  So as soon as it got light enough to see we went out and walked.  That got me started!  Then I discovered that the meat in the fridge was thawed enough to cook so I put it in a pot and got it cooking to make beef stew.  I just finished  cutting it up, added the potatoes, onions and carrots and set it to simmer for a bit until I decide what else goes in.

Our weather has reached 57 degrees and is heading for a high of 65 today!  HOORAY!!!

I wish you all a good day, better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!  Take it and make it your own and stop back to share it with us!

Good morning, today it is clear, sunny, windy, and cold at minus five. Winter doesn't seem to want to go anywhere this year.

Yesterday, my sister and I had several emails back and forth as she works on redoing her craft room. She also has two cross-country trips planned for this summer, but then she's ten years younger and only been retired a year or so.

I agree with everyone, I didn't even want to get out of bed this morning but finally did when the phone rang signaling my morning meet and greets. So coffee finished and Farrah fed, I supposed I should look around to see what else I can get into.

I heard Stubbs out in the hall earlier. He is a well, stubby little bulldog, pit bull mix who wriggles enough to leave his skin behind when he sees someone, knowing pets, scratches, and "Good Boys" are coming. I suppose I should find something to do somewhere...I'm so tired of this in between season.

New tires are on and I hope, fingers crossed we don't get too much snow!!

Cooking up rice and chicken for Babe, maybe this will stay on her tummy.

Saw this sigh at the bank.

What do you call a rabbit with fleas??

Bugs Bunny......

Patricia, my get up and go has gone.....no sewing done...maybe tomorrow?

Jane, my Mom's recipe for Bachelor Buttons or some call them Jan Jam cookies. Haven't made them for a while.

Phyllis, jobs will always wait.....and pile up.   If and that is IF I get at a job first thing tis ok....but many times I will procrastinate. And it is still there when I do feel like doing it.

Rick, did inspiration hit???  Some times it is nice to have a day off. 

Better go see what I can rustle up for supper..
