Quote from: JaneS on August 24, 2023, 07:27:12 AMRICK, thanks for taking care of the lights.  I hope you also finished off the cookies and emptied the coffee pot!

I knocked off the rest of the cookies, but only rinsed out the coffee pot. Not a good cleaning.

Hope all had a decent day, and will do it again tomorrow.

I have a crearema hooked to this computer, but I .can not reamber how to, and grand dearter is too busy to take time off from her school teacheing and famley, her plate is too full. any time later this morning will be alright. I got my drivers Licens renuewed, with my new look on it. I am not looking for a new ladie, Nancy is still putting up with Me. and I am not man enough to support two you all at the same time. my memory is very short any more, I think it may still be in there but i shure have a hard time reanbering whin I need or want to any more. ( old age I think, has cought up with Me.)

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I'm having my breakfast while I wait for Cooper's arrival.  The coffee's the best and I'm having a dish of fresh canteloupe with it!

LLOYD, so good to see you posting again.  We do miss you when you're not around!

RICK, thanks for cleaning up after us.  Rinsing out the coffee pot works for me!

I have to go get dressed before Cooper gets here.  He's going to want a walk right after he eats!

I wish you all a good day!  Make it work your way!

Good morning..

We did gt a light sprinkling of rain but tomorrow is another story. With all the rain we have had the ground can use more and with winter freeze up not that far away  rain is needed for the wells and rivers.

Picking up meds this morning then home to put away the jars of beets.  I am not sure what else will get done, tis a toss up of cleaning out the fridge ,baking and making a pot of baked beans.

Jane, cateloupe is so good this time of year.  Sounds like we had better fill the cookie jar again. How about shortbread cookies this time?

Patricia, have you found the list gets longer as you knock off the top ones? Always find something else to add onto it.Prices are always going up and folks are getting less. Product prices may go up but the package gets smaller.

Lloyd, I bet Nancy is busy canning/pickeling and putting food down for the winter.

Rick, thank you. I was so tired last night I forgot to refill the cookie jar but Jane or I will top it up again.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

A friend sent me my morning giggle.


Today I was in a shoe store that sells only shoes, nothing else. A young girl with a tattoo and green hair walked over to me and asked, "What brings you in today, I looked at her and said, "I'm interested in buying a refrigerator." She didn't quite know how to respond, had that deer in the headlights look.

I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.

When people see a cat's litter box they always say, "Oh, have you got a cat" I just say, "No, it's for company!"

Employment application blanks always ask who is to be called in case of an emergency. I think you should write, "An ambulance."

The older you get the tougher it is to lose weight because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.

The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.

Have you ever noticed: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are XL.

The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he knows when he's really in trouble.

Did you ever notice that when you put the 2 words "The" and "IRS" together it spells "Theirs"

Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me.
I want people to know why I look this way.
I've traveled a long way and a lot of the roads were not paved.
Ah! Being young is beautiful but being old is comfortable.
Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth.
May you always have:
Love to share,
Cash to spare,
Tires with air,
And friends who care.

well it is 81º and going up they are saying 99º this afternoon. thank god for AC and working. I spend a lot of time in my recliner layed back. takeing it easy and Napping. I have another little chore, I am doing. I have a little over a bushel and 1/2 of hickery nuts. I have a nut cracker on a wide board. Han operated.(easy) to operate.I cut a large hole in a one gallen milk juge, to pot the cracked nuts in, and bring them and spred them out on the kitchen table , and pick the nut meats up and out of the chells. the shels is close to the same coller as the nut meats, so I get a few shells on them and Nancy goes through them and pickes them out for me. yesterday I picked out a ziplock one quart ziplock bag full about a inch and half deep laying on its side. they will be good in cookie and icecream Making.just sprinkle them over the icecream, good and thick. I also have a couple of gallens of black walnuts to cracke and pick out. I have a crermra on my computer. but cant reamber how to make it take my pictuer and post it here. I have growen a full length beard. am planning on letting it get full length down to the top of the pockest on my bib overyhauls. I had it like that seveerial years ago.when i get it long and comed nice I plan on taking a picture and post it attached here in S & F. I is only about one inch long now.

Lloyd

Good mid day, we are at 81º and thay are saying it is giong tomake 99º this afternoon. thank god for the AC and it is working good.

Lloyd

Good morning. in the fifties again this morning with a steady light rain. Another August phenomenon appeared today. We have a lot of water inside and just outside the city limits. When the temperatures cool down in winter's preparation, You will see patches of fog here and there about the area. And it's always above the ponds, creeks, lakes, and streams.

An aerial map, if you will, and another is the animals moving into the town's woods and gullies via those waterways to escape wolves for the winter. The trappers report animals are preparing their winter dens, and the army and airforce bases are also as folks move out to other bases and areas as the new ones move in.

Jane, I envy you for your time with Cooper! On the one hand, you get the company, and I'm sure he's more active than my older cat, who's lying on her back with all four feet splayed. This is her usual position after a morning of eating, drinking, and eliminating!

Lloyd, it's so lovely to see your posts again! Bubble would be a good one to explain your computer camera.

Amy, I loved those funnies you posted. Thanks for giving me more ammunition for those texting meets and greets!

I tend to get an almost laser focus when I finally get going on a project, rearranging, decluttering, or simply deep cleaning. I procrastinate for days, debating what, when, where, and how before diving in. I'm denning like the animals outside. Farrah is also as she wants to eat more and cozy up more.

There's not much else going on here. Claire has sold her place to an ex-military couple and her animals to neighbors. She has a month to find new accommodations as the couple muster out. The other meet and greets are doing the same as I am; for some, this will be the first winter they haven't had to prepare the land and plan and pay for winter street and road maintenance.

One of the meets and greets has started a side hustle. He has an SUV, got a chauffeur's license, and has started offering rides to those without transportation for grocery trips and other trips for those unwilling to wait longer for taxis. He's charging three dollars more than the taxis but doesn't have the almost hour wait time, and you can set up a regular schedule if needed or ask him to pick up and deliver for you.

Today at 05:46:02 PM
wow this is disgusting, I had a nice leingthey post ready to post and hit somengting wrong and the grimlens got and I can not fiend It. I was telling you all about a Man on a ten acer parcel of land. He has his house and a green house on it. He also has severial type's of tees on it.he sells severial thousand $$$ worth of frut's and produce off of it. beside what his owen famlie eats. that is one, also I know about  about a Man in canadia he has a large greanhouse, he leaves the small walk in door open all the time. the picture showes the snow piled up on the sides of it. he keeps some and sells some as bobbie calves or a little larger, except a few to re prudce the cow heard. the boddie heat of the cattle heat the grean house. he has trays in racks. where he puts barley seeads and sprouts it and roles up and feeds it to the cattle along with some other dry feed. he sells milk and makes cheeze's and sells it also. I also know of a famley started in in south Mo. started out on ten acers bult the home in then, raised all sort of anamels a few at a time.and gradualy got more livestock and added to the land. they now owen a much larger lot of land and cattle. and built a a larger house and I think are out of debt. so it can be done. just takes a lot of hard work and love for each other, they also have raised there children,and helped them through collage. this may not be completley corect but is close. havea good day. I my self have been up and down the ladder Made a lot of mastakes. I was the oldes of three boy's. my dad was murdered and mom mooved us from bluwesprings to strasuburg mo. we rented a small house for $30.00 a monh. and later took a 1$ a month rase and bought it. I mowde yards delivered gorcers and papers to older folks in town, my middle brother got the paper rout and I wentto woork in the blacksmith shop.learned how to forge weld and shapen plowe shears. when I was 16 years old my mother had met and fell in love with a nice man and Married him, the two younger boys went with her to her new home. and I got a job with a locial farmer in the aeria and went to live and help him on his farm, doing farm choyers , and milking cows. that i a enough for now.

Lloyd

Can you guess where I'll be going?

Lloyd, if you have an email, then you can send me any picture you want posted here and I'll do it for you.
I don't need anything in return, it's a pleasure to be able to help!

I am sending you an email, so you have mine to be able to answer. Good luck!

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I totally forgot to check out last night!  I finished watching my TV shows and did a few odd jobs in the kitchen and headed right for the haystack!

LLOYD, it's so nice to see you back!  You are so talented with your woodworking!  I sure wish we lived closer so I could see some of it!  My father and my BIL were both good at that kind of thing and I miss them.

RICK, indulge!  The goodies are some of the best things AMY does!

I'm up and waiting for the arrival of Cooper!  He'll be my company for the day once again! 

I'm having fresh canteloupe for breakfast again and I managed to freeze several breakfasts for some future days!  I love this season of fresh fruits and veggies.  Yesterday, my lunch was fried radishes.  They are sooooo good!

I guess I better get some other stuff done before Cooper shows up.  Have a good day Everyfriend! 

Good morning.
 Have you ever thought you just might to sleep in? Take a lazy day and let it start later than usual, you can't here! Three crows outside the bedroom window haven't been taught to whisper or use inside voice, then Mr Rooster that has now found his voice , using it to the best of his ability along with a newbie that has yet to get his morning crow in sync.

Laundry and baking today and whatever else gets in the way..

Jane ,that is one of the treats in summer, fresh tasty fruits and vegetables. Have fun with Cooper!

Patricia, sounds like you now have a reliable ride and with a friend to boot!! Tis a win win situation for both of you. All signs here are pointing to winter, leaves turning, birds starting to flock and on the 29th you won't find a swallow around.

Rick, enjoy as I know either Jane or I or someone else will keep the goodies coming.

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

Sorry Lloyd, but I cannot see the camera you use on your computer, not the connections you have, so I have no idea how to help you.
Sorry!

Sad day.

Bob Barker, who starred for more than five consecutive decades as a TV game-show host, including 35 as the host of The Price Is Right, has died, according to his representative. He was 99 years old.

I'm tired right down to my show strings and I'm heading for the haystack!  Cooper will be here early tomorrow and I'll need to take care of him and get myself ready for church in the morning.  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow!

Good morning..

Lovely temp to start out with 50°and a sunny day. We did get a sprinkle of rain yesterday but after the laundry was off the line.

A day of rest here, will finish cutting fabric for another quilt, after we take the garbage away.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning, AMY and anyone who shows up later.  Cooper is here and has had all his "attention".  I'm ready to leave for church and Cathy will be on her way to pick me up in a few minutes! 

It's a bit on the chilly side here this morning...still only 67 degrees but heading for the 80s by mid afternoon.

I'm trying to decide what I want to make for supper!  Any suggestions?  I did take a couple of pork chops out of the freezer but I can put them back!

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

Well, I said "Good Morning to AMY this morning around 9 o'clock. And now I'm saying "Good Night" to myself around 6 p.m.  It sure wasn't a busy day in here today and there are still lots of goodies left.  I had a few but there's no way I can eat them all.  I sure hope they don't spoil!

I might not be back to say Good Night so....Good Night to anyone who shows up!

I guess you didn't see me sneak in and out. Just grabbed a brownie and left - left no foot prints. It's been a real lazy day here - filled mostly with naps/TV.

Rick ,you must be wearing your sneakers!

Jane, it is 61° here at the moment, I like this cooler weather. Great for sleeping!!

My lazy day was lovely!!

I, too am saying good night.

Enjoy your evening.

Good morning..

Another cool morning. A freezer needs dealing with today,clean it and see what all is or isn't in there..

Supper is bbq chicken, scalloped potates and a veggie, haven't decided  on that yet with peach cobbler for dessert.

Sitting here thinking about the work won't get it done.

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

It is cloudy and muggy and the forecasters  keep telling us it is going to rain but it hasn't yet.  We need it badly but I hope it holds off for awhile since the repairmen are here repairing siding and damage from squirrels and raccoons.  I'll be glad to get it done before something else has to be fixed.  Painting of house and deck will be next, I think. 

Other than that it is the usual laundry day and tidying up.

Take care, All.

Good morning, it seems we're hogging all the rain this Fall. Yesterday's low was 58, with a high of 63. Right now, it's 49 degrees and wet.

Yesterday was dull, with hours of moving computer info around from one external drive to another. Today will, unfortunately, be more of the same. I'm amazed at the dated information lurking in crevices and corners. Some of it as far back as 1998.

I need to do another house vacuuming sometime this week and clean my freezer. Thanks, Amy, for the reminder.
