Callie, is that Darcy Lynn? I watched her when she first went on,she is one remarkable young lady!

CallieOK · January 28, 2024, 04:14:34 PM

Yes, it is! She was 12 when she won AGT and is now 19 and a professional songwriter and actress, as well as puppeteer and singer. She still has her puppet, Petunia, but article in recent paper said Petunia now sits in her own chair rather than on Darcey Lynne's knee. She's from a small town not far from here.

This is the sweetheart that Callie and I have been talking about. Hope it is ok to post the url here..

Hello Everyfriend! It's been "one of THOSE days" around here today! It rained all day and both my walks with Cooper were in the rain. Thankfully, he looks for one of his favorite spots, does what he must, waits for me to clean up then heads for home as fast as he can go!

I don't have a car in my driveway any more! Frankie sold her old one and the guy picked it up today! Once I looked out the window and it was there. The next time I looked it was gone! They were out there dealing with it yesterday and after he left, she cleaned out the trunk and then took off for home.

CALLIE, I'll be thinking about you and a visit. I think granddaughter Courtney said she's going down the second week in March and if I go with her, I stay a while and Christy will come for a visit and we'll go home together. I let you know when things are decided!

Now I'm headed for the haystack. I made a breakfast casserole and I'm waiting for it to cool a bit so I can put it in the fridge. It's an Amish recipe and I might have to taste it before I go to bed. It looks inviting!

PATRICIA, I'm not a bit bored with your weather in Alaska! That's the only state I haven't managed to visit and anything about it is interesting to me! If I could visit, I don't think I'd want to visit in the winter, though! Reading about the winter weather is enough of a visit for me!

AMY, I love hearing about your quilts! It's one of the things I never learned from my Gramma! She made a ton of them in her lifetime. And I'm pretty sure that's not an exaggeration! That's all we had on our beds when I was growing up and she made them all her life. My sister and I had a winter playhouse in the living room...under the quilting frame...every winter!

Gotta go check if the casserole has cooled off enough to refrigerate. Then do a couple odds and ends and go to bed. I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a good day tomorrow. Come by and share it with us!

JaneS · January 29, 2024, 06:27:18 AM

GOOD MORNING EVERYFRIEND!

Oh Dear! I hope I didn't wake anyone!

Amy · January 29, 2024, 06:46:43 AM

Good morning..

No, not me Jane, I have the cooler and the wheelchair packed and ready to go for my friends appointment in the city today, dogs out and dogs feed. I was a bit worried when I saw snow falling last night but it didn't amount to much so our trip is good to go. Just need to get a pumpkin pie boxed up ready for my friends to take back home with them.

Callie, Darcy is in the finals!!! The judges are used to seeing her with Petunia and now Darcy is sort of "flying on her own" a bit Simon thinks she should still be connected. There are so many talented people on AGT andit is going to be difficult to chose.......me, I choose Darcy!!

Better make sure all is gathered.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

RAMMEL · January 29, 2024, 09:57:32 AM

Another wet one here today. Have April Showers come early? Absolutely nothing planned for the day, except keep an eye on my computer. When I turned it on it did a restart, and now M$ whants me to "Set up my computer". I told it to come back in three days.

JaneS · January 29, 2024, 07:47:36 PM

Time to think about the haystack! I have the dishwasher running and as soon as it hits the "dry" cycle, I hit the haystack!

Got a bunch of stuff done around the house today...eyes, laundry, cooking, baking, walking Cooper (or him walking me), putting stuff away, moving stuff to a better place, reading the paper and doing the crossword puzzle, and some other stuff I forgot!

AMY, hope your trip was successful

RICK, stay dry!

I wish everyfriend a peaceful night's sleep and a good day tomorrow. Come by and let us know what you're up to!

RAMMEL · January 29, 2024, 11:00:50 PM

Lloyd Hammond, where are you, in hospital or on your travels...
been a month now since you last peeked in..
Jane you shout louder than me, maybe Lloyd will hear you....

Amy · January 30, 2024, 06:58:47 AM

Good morning...

These trips to the city tucker me out!! My friend did get good news, lst time we were there they said the battery was good for 1 1/2 years and this is what they said this time!! They are keeping a closer watch on it and she goes back in 3 months.In the mean time she will deal wih maybe heart surgery on her one(she has two) leaky valves. This is reminding me so much of Shirley! We did get a bit of grocery shopping done but no fabrcic shopping..

Today a fellow is to come and look and hopefully buy the van.First going into town to get more wood for the stand that Kyle is making. As for what I will do.....not much if my attem doesn't show up.

Rick , our weather yesterday was beautiful!! You could feel the heat of the sun through the vehicke windows. I even ended up taking my coat off as it was just too much.
Better shake a leg and get moving..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · January 30, 2024, 07:47:04 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! No Cooper today! Frankie has the day off. Cathy and I MIGHT be going to the Amish store today or maybe Thursday! She wasn't sure when she mentioned it! I guess I'll wait and see.

I've been wondering about LLOYD also. I think I have a telephone number. Maybe I'll try it later in the day. As JACKIE said, I can yell pretty loud!

Right now, I have to get dressed and get some stuff done around here! Have a good day Everyfriend!

I didn't like the combination of her vocals and Petunia. Not sure I'd vote for her - based on her performance in the semi-finals. We'll see how she does in the Finals.

Enjoy your day, Everyfriend.

Amy · January 30, 2024, 08:23:31 PM

Well the day didn't go as planned but that is ok. My attem didn't catch up either so maybe tomorrow???

Callie, I agree. We were used to seeing her with her puppets and this is a different version of her. Maybe she will go back to the way it was before.Do you remember Sheri Lewis and Lamb Chop ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxoYKt65vSQ

CallieOK · January 30, 2024, 08:47:52 PM

I do remember Sheri Lewis and Lamb Chop. I wonder if Darci and her parents even know who Sheri was. I'll bet her grandparents do.

JaneS · January 30, 2024, 09:02:59 PM

Well, my day didn't go as planned either. I got my walk in earlier this morning and that went as planned and from there on nothing did. I was going to do a couple loads of wash including changing the bed. None of that got done. In fact, I'm not exactly sure what did get done. I was busy all day but I don't see anything done! Maybe tomorrow will be better.

I did get another shipment of eye drops so there are two more boxes on the porch waiting for the dry ice to disappear! I just finally got rid of everything from the last two shipments and now I have another one to deal with. Two more weeks and I'm done.

And I did get 1 year old Great Grandson Cam's birthday gift ready to go. It's going to be late but at 1 year, I don't think he'll notice! His first birthday is January 31! And he's been walking for the past two months. He has to keep up with his two older siblings. And he's taking after his Grandma. My daughter Cindy was walking well at 10 months. No one believed that all she was at the Fourth of July Parade!

JACKIE, I forgot about calling LLOYD, I wrote myself a not to call tomorrow and see if one of them answers. I have a number for him and one for Nancy, too!

I guess I better go get ready for the haystack. I'm tired right down to my toenails and I have to be up early to meet Cooper tomorrow! I wish you all a great night's sleep and a good day tomorrow. Come by for a visit!

If you reach someone there I think you'll have to explain about our new hard to follow new site. His daughter or Grand daughter next door?

Vanilla-Jackie · January 31, 2024, 12:57:33 AM

Jane - Rick...this is really out of character of Lloyd, been five & a half weeks now....Rick, i am sure Lloyds younger generation will pick up our new site layout quicker than us elders, especially us who dont take well to change....

Amy · January 31, 2024, 07:30:38 AM

Good morning..

Really foggy out there this morning!We will actually see the sun today.
Will try to get the work caught up today. Do we ever catch up??? Pumpkin pie is waning so another dessert to be thought of and made.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · January 31, 2024, 11:05:37 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! This is NOT a good eye day so things are going a bit more slowly. Cooper arrived on time, had his breakfast, followed me around until it go light enough out there to take a walk. We had a good walk and then he went out in the fenced yard and had some conversations with the new doggie in the next house over!

I spent time doing eye things and getting some stuff out to make supper. Next I'm going to cut and pack individual servings of my egg casserole and put a couple in the freezer for when Christy comes up from Baltimore! Then I have to figure out what I'm going to wear to the dinner party the night before Kyle's wedding in February. I have a new pair of pants but they need shortening. It would probably be good to try them when Christy's here. She can pin them up and then I can shorten them.

I'll sure be glad when this special eye drop thing is over. It seems to take so much time!

I tried to call LLOYD'S phone number and NANCY'S phone number. Neither one answered and they don't have the message thing set up. So now what? I wish we knew their daughter's number! I don't even know her name. And, by the way, I've told all my kids that if anything happens to me, they need to post it in here so you all don't need to wonder! And I'm asking them if they mind if I give a number or two to AMY. People just disappear in here and we never know what happened. It's kind of sad!

Now I'm off to more eye drops! And to get set up for later meals! Have a good rest of the day and let us share it with you. We miss you when you're not here!

RAMMEL · January 31, 2024, 11:26:56 AM

Jane --- I sent you a PM.

Amy · January 31, 2024, 11:53:13 AM

Rick, just talked with Jane and gave her the granddaughters phone number.

The day is slipping by! I bought big lima beans the other day and I am looking for a recipe .

Many years ago my mother used to make "Lima beans and Pork Chops. The beans were Dried Limas, and it all was cooked in a pressure cooker. Yum, yum, stick to the ribs and tasty. Neither my wife or my son liked lima beans, so never had it after I married. I can imagine it now and it's making my mouth water.

Oh my that sounds good and into the instant pot it can go!! Do you remember if your Mom added onions or any spices? Finding dried lima beans is like finding hens teeth!! I used to be able to get the baby limas but all they had was the big ones which is fine. Thank you for the direction.

RAMMEL · January 31, 2024, 01:28:22 PM

I don't believe she added any spices or onion or garlic. The browned chops were enough to give it very good flavor.

Amy · January 31, 2024, 01:41:27 PM

Ok, thank you.

JaneS · January 31, 2024, 09:22:21 PM

Got the granddaughter's answering machine and she hasn't called back. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow but I'll wait until the early evening to make the call! Thanks everyone for your help.

I'm off to the haystack! I'm tired and I have to be up early to get started on the eyedrops and have my breakfast before Cooper arrives at 6:45. I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a great day tomorrow. Come back and share it with all of us!

RAMMEL · January 31, 2024, 10:30:30 PM

Jane - When I click on your weather link (bottom of your post), I get weather for the Bronx, NY

patricia19 · January 31, 2024, 11:38:52 PM

And when I click on it, it shows the weather from where my internet provider is located. That tells me yours is located in the Bronx.
