A GIFT OF LOVE
Time is not measured by the years that you live
But by the deeds that you do and the joy that you give...

And each day as it comes brings a chance to each one
To live to the fullest, leaving nothing undone

That would brighten the life or lighten the load
Of some weary traveler lost on life's road ...
So what does it matter how long we may live
If as long as we live we unselfishly give.
Helen Steiner

T𝐇𝐄 𝟑 𝐓𝐘𝐏𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄

1. The Leaf people
2. The Branch people
3. The Root people

𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐅 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄: ☘️🍁🌿

These are people who come into your life just for a season. You can't depend on them because they are weak. They only come to take what they want, but if the wind comes they will leave.

You need to be careful of these people because they love you when things are okay, but when the wind comes, they will leave you.

𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐇 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄: 🌴🎋🌴

They are strong, but you need to be careful with them too. They break away when life becomes tough, and they can't handle too much weight. They may stay with you in some seasons, but they will go when it becomes harder.

𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐓 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄: 🌳🌲🌳

These people are very important because they don't do things to be seen. They are supportive even if you go through a difficult time they will water you and they are not moved by your position they just love you like that ...

It's not all people you meet or are your friends, that will stay with you.

Only the root type of people will stay no matter the season.

I don't believe that the big men, the politicians and the capitalists alone are guilty of the war. Oh, no, the little man is just as keen, otherwise the people of the world would have risen in revolt long ago! There is an urge and rage in people to destroy, to kill, to murder, and until all mankind, without exception, undergoes a great change, wars will be waged, everything that has been built up, cultivated, and grown, will be destroyed and disfigured, after which mankind will have to begin all over again.

-Anne Frank, Holocaust diarist (12 Jun 1929-1945)

I have to say that the dog makes me think of a big bunch of bananas.

Good Morning everyone.

Amy · August 01, 2024, 06:46:14 AM

Good morning...

Another busy day here. Starting out at 60° but heading to the 90's. We did have a nice rain = more humidity.

Bubble thank you for the new start.I enjoyed it all, especially that of HSRice.

Patricia, happy to read you had a wonderful birthday.

Jane, I have more beans to pick but first have to find a home for the 6qt plus that I picked on Tue.

Jenny, we said goodbye to Babe on July 2.

MG, do you thing it could be this breed of dog?

Better get the day going.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

MarsGal · August 01, 2024, 11:12:58 AM

Could be, Amy. It is called a Komondor. It is often trained as a sheep dog. Can't imagine why.

CallieOK · August 01, 2024, 11:15:00 AM

Copying last night's post because we switched to the new one right after I posted it and I'm not sure anyone saw it.

Good Evening/Morning,

Wi-fi kept going out on computer so this is the first time I've had to reply to those watching the Olympics. I've binge-watched swimming and gymnastics - and some diving. Will probably watch other things but don't have a schedule of what goes on when.

Jane, I used to freeze packages of fresh green beans for the family; steamed them in microwave before packaging them. However, I have a much smaller freezer now and just get enough to make several meals for only me. They're best here in June and I didn't think to order any or ask my Shopper to get them this year. Wish I had some to fix with ham.

Marsgal, I once heard noise at night on my patio. Turned on the light and two young raccoons looked up at me like "Yes? You wanted something?" A neighbor recently told me she walked out on her patio early one morning and there was a skunk asleep in a corner. I think she quietly closed the door!

Denver, #2 son/wife flew to Denver last Thursday for the Kenny Chesny concert. They went to some pizza place in Idaho Springs for lunch on Friday. He sent me a picture of the bump-to-bumper traffic headed west (they were headed east) and said it was like that from Idaho Springs to "where the buffalo used to be". He said that was usual for 3:00 p.m. on Fridays - people heading for the weekend in the mountains. I wondered what the tunnel was like!!

Sleep well, Everyfriend and have pleasant dreams. Have a Good Day, Everyfriend!

JaneS · August 01, 2024, 11:53:07 AM

Good Morning for the next 20 minutes. If you read this after that....Good Afternoon!!

I finished the canning! I have 6 quarts and 7 pints! That will last me a while. And Cathy just came by with a bag of coffee and a ham. So the rest of the beans will be in a ham and beans pot. CALLIE, youre welcome to join me if that perks up your tast! I think it will be served on Saturday or Sunday!

Next on m agenda is lunch. I have some leftovers in the fridge. I'll just have to decide which ones I want to eat!

Also, I think Cooper is over whatever it was that was bugging his system! he seems to be back to normal but I think he!s wondering why we're not offering him food every minute of the day any more. He's become a follower and a watcher

CA::OE. I grew up on canned green beans and I can just barely tolerate the frozen ones. I still love the canned ones and as long as I can do this, I will!

I butter look for some lunch and then get something else done. Maybe I'll put the ham in the slow cooker and it will be ready to do beans when I am? Then again...maybe I won't. We shall see!

I wish you all a good day! Grab it and make it your own in every way!

patricia19 · August 01, 2024, 01:57:56 PM

Good morning, nine AM here, and it's cloudy with some rain to return, late afternoon.

Bubble, I saved the three types of people and I found the quote from Anne Frank both true and poignant, how many people were and are needlessly killed for their color, their sexuality or their religion? What humanity lost by their deaths is incalculable.

Callie, I'm not a TV watcher, haven't owned one since 1997, but with YouTube, I've enjoyed the Olympics. Particularly, the men's and women's gymnastics! Simone Biles is a phenomenon. She does this little run and then does four flips in a row that's unreal. Jordan Chiles is another one with an astonishing leap high in the air and the rest of her program was amazing after hearing she had a bad injury just before the Olympics.

We don't have skunks or raccoons here, but I've seen them, and possums in the lower 48. The only snake I've seen in the wild, and I lived in numerous Southern states, was a large black snake crossing a road. Two years in Kentucky, living in the hills, and not one showed up for me.

We don't have some of the more nasty smaller creatures, no ticks, biting flies nor lice, but we consider the mosquito Alaska's state bird...

When I was younger, with a family and work, I used to meal prep before it was a thing, and canned and prepared most of what we ate. A military wife has to be careful with both the finances and food shopping, or at least I did. After I was on my own and after retirement, I had to break myself of the habit of preserving and making large meals. I still cook once and freeze for two more, it's ingrained.

Jane, I'm glad that Cooper is healthy again. Farrah has been doing that, following me around as I quit buying her treats. She had gotten to the point of not eating her regular food. While she's picky, but eating her food again, she still gets excited when I come in with bags.

Hi, MG!

Jenny, while my paternal relatives are in Missouri and Washington State, my maternal ones are in the Oklahoma City area, and in Colorado by Grand Junction. They were all farming until my generation.

Amy, I did have a wonderful one, plenty of friends calling or visiting and that chocolate cake I was loath to share, but I did, pats self on back...

Amy · August 01, 2024, 04:01:40 PM

I am ready to say UNCLE with this hot weather!! Hung laundry out and brought it back in less than a hour!!
Beans picked, beans delivered and more in the fridge! This has been a good year for beans!

Jane, I meant to tell you I met a lady from PA in Timmies! As we were waiting for our beverages we chatted and she is from the area of the Pokanos.

MG, wolves, coyotes can't bite into that fur. Most folks that have sheep have a Great Pyrenees as a guard dog. One place we drive by has the GP out with the sheep and if they are all laying down you really have to look for the dog!

https://be.chewy.com/dog-breed/great-pyrenees/

One year I was helping my friend in her restaurant, one of the regulars said he was looking after his daughters dog....a GP. I came home and said to Kyle that Wally has a great pyrenees and Kyle asked my why I was looking at Wally's knees!!!

Town is a bees nest, sardine can , once we get our "stuff" done tomorrow I am staying home!!

Amy · August 02, 2024, 06:39:50 AM

Good morning...

Another busy day in the making. Ordered #3 cucumbers from the Mennonite market and will pick them up after we drop the garbage off. Laundry is on the go and the garden is being watered by the sprinkler. Still have to do hand watering but it can wait for a bit.

Jane, I do wish you were closer!! Ran a bag of beans over to the neighbour and so far he is not runnig away he sees me coming with beans........yet!

Better put an egg in my boot and beat it...time seems to go faster than I do lately.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

MarsGal · August 02, 2024, 07:16:54 AM

Yesterday's catch at my sister's house was a cat, the other trap was empty. Sue thinks the pest control guy let the cat loose. She didn't see him, but he only had an empty trap in his truck. You know me, I fretted over that cat. I was/am worried that these guys will dispose of cats too, and not release them or take them to the humane society. Hope it was let loose. I could have been someone's pet. Lots of people still leave their cats out at night.

With trepidation, I used the oven. It's the first time in years and years I used an oven. It was only a
frozen pizza, but the controls were even more extensive than the oven I rarely used at the house. Now that I have a set of pizza pans and a new cookie/baking sheet (with rack), I have my eye on replacing the glass saucepans I have. Glass is not recommended for this stovetop. The cats have new mats for under their water dishes. I've put one in this room as well as the kitchen because Oscar has been spending much of his time in here, and I've taken to feeding him in here so I can shut the door for him to have peace while eating. Shan consistently pushes Oscar aside to get at food that he is not allowed to have, leaving his dish for later. It makes life a little easier than standing over the cats and dishes and arguing with Shan. Unfortunately, he does often try to squeeze past me when I open the door.

I've been trying out different foods on Oscar again. There aren't any wet cat foods specially for liver problems here in the US. I have not resorted to cooking up Chicken livers yet, but Oscar does get to share tuna, salmon and sardines when I open a people can. He also gets fresh cooked chicken when I do it.
Since he likes the broth and gravy types, I have on order some containers of broth for cats to include with his fresh cooked meals. Too bad Shan can't have any because it will foul up his pH levels. What a challenge when you have one cat who is on the verge of overweight and one that needs to keep his weight up.

JaneS · August 02, 2024, 09:54:20 AM

Whew! This has been one busy day! And I have to watch Cooper every minute of the time1. He has hookworm and has to be watched every minute of every day. That will be my job for the next week because Frankie will be going on vacation with her mother. I was afraid she'd think she had to cancel but she' going to go! So If I'm not here, I'm watching, walking or loving up a doggie this coming week! Take care Everyfriend!

RAMMEL · August 02, 2024, 09:55:25 PM

Knock, knock.

Amy · August 03, 2024, 05:43:18 AM

Who is there??

Good morning..

Another busy day ahead, one does not have to look for work it is staring you in the face! Grass needs cutting again but maybe it can wait till Mon?? Will play that one by ear.

Cucumbers are all cut up and laundry was done yesterday . Just need to tidy up
in here and clean bathrooms. Maybe, just maybe get some time in the sewing room.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · August 03, 2024, 07:55:16 AM

Good Morning! Cooper and I had a good night together. We've had our walk this morning and we both had our breakfast! I'm just finishing my coffed while I have a chat with friend and then its back to work!

AMY, I'm thinking that it isnt that there's MORE work to do these days. Its just that it takes me twice as long to get a job done right!

I finished the beans and the last canner full was jars of already cooked ham and beans all ready for a meal! Now that job is DONE for this year!

I think my canner REALLY OLD pressure canner has decided to quit and I'm wondering if I'm too old to have a new one. I've been looking at them on line and in stores for a while now but there isn't anyone to pass it on to and I don't know how many more times I'll use it! Oh well, I'll think about it!

Now I better go put stuff away and get this day moving. I wish you all a good one! Make it your own in every way! But pop back in an tell us what you did!

No one

Passes Rick a tissue to dry your tears.

Beans are picked (again) 5 huge zuchinnies still cuddled under the leaves in the garden. Dog laundry soon to be hung on the line and beans to be canned or frozen.

Jane, I give a lot of pickles etc away..but have cut back on a lot that I used to do. We just don't eat as much anymore?

MarsGal · August 03, 2024, 12:53:33 PM

It is nice to see that canning is still popular. I confined myself to jams and pickles. I did make tomato sauce, but I don't remember if I canned it. I had a lovely "French" grinder that ground the tomato up whole, no having to peel the tomatoes. Had a wonderful recipe for strawberry/pineapple jam. Freezer only. My big weekly event year round was baking every Wednesday: bread, cookies, pies, cakes, and the occasional Severin and homemade pasta.

So, after this lunch break I go back to putting together my new TV console. Right now it looks like a dead insect on its back, legs sticking up.

phyllis · August 03, 2024, 02:00:17 PM

MG,

JaneS · August 03, 2024, 08:47:57 PM

Well, bedtime is approaching for me! Cooper is already in bed. I have a couple things to finish up before I can hit the sack but I'm getting to the point where I'm ready to just throw in the towel. I'm tired right down to my toes!

Cooper and I took a lot of walks today and I guess he's tired too because he went in the bedroom and barked for me to come and remove the stack from his jump up box! I did and now I'm with him.

I wish you all a peaceful nights sleep and a happy tomorrow. Make the day your own in every way and don't forget to stop by and tell us how you did that! We miss you when you don't show up!

Amy · August 04, 2024, 06:19:27 AM

Good morning...

Starting out at 60° and mostly a sunny day. A few need to do things then coast for the day.

Crows must have company for this long weekend, called them and seven stopped in for breakfast.

Jane, I agree, takes me longer too! Doesn't help that I am easily side tracked too.

MG, what is Severin? Did you get your dead bug to look like a tv console?

Rick, I don't know about you but Oak Island can start anytime now! Bet it won't start until Nov!

Bubble, we say a lot(complain) about our temps but I bet you can beat us all with the temp there!

Better get the day started.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · August 04, 2024, 09:11:13 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend!! It's 73 and Cloudy out there right now. Cooper had his walk and I'm doing church on line this morning!

I wish you all a good one! Make it your own in every way!

I was thinking more like October. Will have to see what my son thinks. He's the biggest fan around here.

A bit damp out there this morning. Two or three T storms went through last night. Sounded like one lightning strike was VERY close. When I get inspired I'll go out and look around.

patricia19 · August 04, 2024, 12:16:15 PM

I'm not a TV watcher, but I decided to look up your show's starting date. I hope this is the right TV show?

The Curse of Oak Island Season 12: The Fellowship is finally returning to work on the island

"Fans of The Curse of Oak Island will be pleased to hear that work has finally begun on the island for Season 12, which is expected to air in November.

The History Channel and The Curse of Oak Island social media accounts have not made any official announcements about the Lagina brothers' arrival on the island, but they never do.

Work on the island usually starts in earnest in April or May, and last year, filming continued until the first week of November, which is quite impressive considering the first episode of Season 11 aired on November 7.

The show and its cast members like to keep things hush-hush, but thankfully, there are spies up in Nova Scotia.

A personal blog run by a nearby resident of Nova Scotia keeps the world updated from their social media account, Oak Island From The Other Side of The Causeway. From their position on the other side of the causeway, they post pictures of the comings and goings on the island.

Operations on Oak Island are reportedly 'ramping up'

Recently, the account has stated that it was pretty quiet on the island, and there was no sign of any cast members. However, this week, they posted pics of multiple vehicles at the Curse of Oak Island base of operations.

They wrote, "Guess things are finally ramping up! At least there are vehicles on site today!" The Oak Island From The Other Side of The Causeway account has not yet spotted any cast members, and neither Rick nor Marty Lagina have made any announcements. Neither brother is active on social media.

Gary Drayton and other Oak Island cast members have not yet been spotted on the island

The only very active cast member on social media is metal detectorist Gary Drayton, who regularly posts videos and pics of his day-to-day treasure-hunting activities. However, he keeps his cards metaphorically close to his chest and never lets on about what is happening in Oak Island.

Gary spends most of the winter months in Florida hunting for treasure along the beaches. And if his recent social media posts are to be believed, he is still on the southeast coast.

The metal detectorist posted a pic of a Florida beach just last week and claimed he spent "Saturday morning working in the office."

Some cast and crew members, such as Scott Barlow, Laird Niven, and Charles Barkhouse, live in the area and often start work earlier than the Laginas, who must come from Michigan. Perhaps the locals are already well on the way to solving the over 200-year-old mystery.

The Curse of Oak Island Season 12 is expected to return in November 2024 on History.
