Good Morning to Anyone and Everyone! I'm up and attem! I woke up a little before 5 this morning and tried to go back to sleep. I gave up at 5:30 and got up and put the coffee on and washed my hair with the special shampoo.

Now Cooper has arrived, had his breakfast, took me for a nice, long walk and took care of business! He said hello to all his doggie friends on the way and to some of his people friends, too. Now I'm here with no plans for the day.

My Son and DIL have promised fresh pumpkin pies for something that's going on in their lives on Sunday and were checking on my recipe yesterday. Back when my son lived in his own apartment alone, he used to make these pies but was checking some things. I'm thinking I might call him and offer to bake some for them. I think they've really volunteered a lot! I don't really remember how many Sarah actually said but a LOT sticks in my mind!

Other than that, the only thing on my agenda is a bit of cleaning and I've reached a place in life where I can ignore the dirt if feel like it!

Make it a good day! Do what you want to and ignore what you don't want to do!

Quote from: patricia19 on September 29, 2023, 12:35:33 AMThere is one paper that I needed some questions/answers. I received it in today's mail, the 28th. It needed to be turned in before September 30th to be on file. However, the instructions were to not sign it until after October 1st! And, of course, the man I needed to talk to is out until Tuesday!

Sounds like a carefully planned process

Almost 10;00 but still looks like night out there. It's been raining hard for a while and about an hour ago got a flood watch warning. Weather report calls for rain until tomorrow noon. The good part is --- it's not snow. Good atmosphere for snoozing.

RAMMEL · September 29, 2023, 11:49:44 AM

Still raining HARD. There has been several cases of local flooding and people being rescued out of cars. Somewhere out there my son is trying to get home from the dentist. He just checked in and I warned him of conditions. If he can can make his way to and get started up the hill he should be OK.

Half hour later --- Home safe

HOORAY for RICK's son! He made it!

RICK that weather you're having now sounds like last week over here! Please don't send it back over here! It's still muddy and wet and we got a little more sometime during the night!

Right now I'm waiting for my daughter, Cathy to pick me up for an appointment to get an update on one of our shots. I forget which one. But she knows this stuff! And I have to get a birthday card for Great-Grandson Mikey. He'll be 3 in a few days! Never thought I'd even see Great Grandkids and now I'm helping them celebrate birthdays!

Keep on keeping on! Oh and I did volunteer to help son with the pies. He's bringing stuff by!

Amy, I have heard of it, and I use Tumeric in just about everything. In soups and stews, it gets liberally dumped on. Osteoarthritis is a guarantee in my family; I have the type that is at its worst in the morning and when the weather is in flux. I saved the link and passed it on to my sister and a cousin.

Speaking of family, my sister reminded me this morning that mom would have been 100 today.

I slept in this morning and snoozed until almost nine. Then it was making coffee, feeding Farah, showering, putting away stuff, and taking the garbage to the dumpster on the curb, as the inside laundry room wall slot is still broken after months. Then there were meet and greets with only three people, and we decided to put that practice to bed; it'd served its purpose.

I loved how autocorrect changed the interesting in my above post to inviting. Yes, I always find inflammation "inviting!"

Jane, I agree! I keep it clean but only do the heavy cleaning every few months. If it smells clean and looks clean...as long as you don't look too close, it's good. I broke down last spring and purchased a battery-operated grout cleaner at the hardware store. It works exceptionally well on other things as well.

Rick, I think I agree!

I'm glad your son made it home. I've seen some videos of that flooding in New York City.

After that brief hot flash at the beginning of last summer, all we had were leaden skies and rain. They're forecasting light rain and snow on Monday, and I hope they're wrong!

Last look at the weather map showed it heading North, toward Albany or New England. Still raining, but lighter. Our Public Services, Police and Fire spent much of their day rescuing people stuck in deep water in their cars. That has to be a hefty expense for those people, but at least they are safe. We have been called The City Of Seven Hills, and there's room for water collection between all of them - with two smaller rivers passing through.

JaneS · September 29, 2023, 09:09:02 PM

Hey y'all! I'm here and I'm heading for the haystack as soon as I check out.

RICK, I saw all that water with stranded cars on the news. I always wonder what makes people drive their cars into that much water. It's like driving into a creek or a river and cars weren't meant to do that!

I'm working on something that I'd rather not discuss but it's taking time and energy that would be better spent elsewhere. I'll be glad when (or if) I manage to get it taken care of! Wish me luck!

Good night! I better get back to work before the haystack comes after me!

JaneS · September 30, 2023, 07:14:08 AM

Good Morning to me and anyone else who pops in!

My chore got finished before I went to bed and I think it's working as usual this morning!

I'm having my breakfast and I won't have any Cooper today so I'm going to do some cooking, cleaning, walking, and maybe bake a pumpkin pie. Son Phil said "Thanks" but he doesn't think he needs help with his pies and that's sort of why I decided to bake my own.

When you are up and attem, make it a good day in every way!

Amy · September 30, 2023, 07:15:10 AM

Good morning

Back to warmer weather ,we could use the rain but so far nothing in sight.

Work around home today, so nice not to have appointments to go to. If time and energy permit I wil finish cutting out fabric for another quilt. My friend and I are doing the same pattern in almost the same colours.

Rick, no matter how old our children are we always worry about them. Glad that your son made it home safe.

Jane, you do know the saying "Can't fix stupid" now those that do get stranded in the water will have to be rescued

Patricia, no snow for you or us till the end of Oct..ok? I know you will get it before us but wouldn't it be nice to wait till then. We do need the snow on the fields to protect the farmers crops though.

Better get a move on.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Some think "Oh, I'm OK with this", and commence to do something stupid. But some are on limited access roads and get to a point where there is deep water/flooding. There is no way to turn off or around, so they are stuck there as the water rises. We do have one Parkway that historically floods with heavy rain. The County usually gets it shut down in time.

Sorry Amy. Special Weather Statement issued September 29 at 12:49PM AKDT by NWS Fairbanks

...Snowfall Heading to the Eastern Interior and Alaska Range Sunday and Monday...

A mix of rain and snow is expected to develop late Sunday southeast of Livengood, then change to all snow on Monday and then taper off Tuesday. Fairbanks is only expected to get an inch of wet snow by early Tuesday, but areas above 1000 feet could get up to 2 or 3 inches. Areas in the Alaska Range will likely get significant snow through Tuesday with 6 to 12 inches possible in the Eastern Alaska Range (Richardson Highway Corridor) and 2 to 4 inches for the Central Alaska Range (Parks Highway Corridor).

Residents may want to use the nice weather this weekend to prepare their homes and vehicles for winter conditions that are expected to develop next week.

JaneS · September 30, 2023, 03:02:10 PM

Hello my friends! I've been busy right up until now. I just took my pumpkin pie out of the oven and as soon as it's cool enough, I'm having a piece of it! Other than that and eating supper and getting ready for bed, I have NO plans for the rest of the day. I've been busy since 6 a.m. and the only time I took off was to read the daily paper! I'M DONE!

PATRICIA, I sure hope that snow stays far away from me! You can see, I haven't actually wished it on you. I just wished it away from me!

We had a beautiful day today! The temp made it to 75 and it was sunny and calm. One of those specials He sends us now and then!

Enjoy the rest of your day! I'm going to do just that!

Amy · September 30, 2023, 03:48:55 PM

I, too am done for the day.....coasting here on in till bed time. Laundry off the line,the rest of the beets pulled ready to be done maybe Monday?? I picked up two huge cabbages to make Jane's cole slaw, didn't know they were on sale till I went in the store and picked up peppers to go with it. Thought that I would make it today but slow on apple cider vinegar Maybe Mon will be a busy day!

We sat outside having tea watching all the birds making a bee line for the Mountain Ash tree. This tree was loading with berries and now the limbs are sighing with relief as the birds take their heavy load off their limbs.

Patricia, it is ok, it will melt for now.
The curcumin has to be 95% in that to work.

JaneS · September 30, 2023, 09:23:33 PM

I'm tired tonight but I got a lot of things done today! And it was a gorgeous day outside...didn't need a jacket or even a sweater!

I'm going to head for the haystack and burrow in until I find a soft spot to sleep and that's what I'm going to do!

I wish you all a good night and a good tomorrow!
