I'm almost ready to hit the haystack!  I did get a very short nap today and that's only because I fell asleep in front of the TV.

Frankie is safely home and boy was Cooper ever happy to see her!  She hung around about 15 or twenty minutes but wouldn't even stay long enough to eat something!  She doesn't have to work tomorrow so she and Cooper will have a good day together!

I got the stuff together to make some doggie treats and I think that might be on tomorrow's agenda.  Of course, things do sometimes change so I could be wrong about that.  I wish I had the radishes because every time I run across that recipe I get hungry for them!

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow.  God bless!

In San Francisco Doodle Doggie sitting. The weather has been beautiful.  Breezy but bright blue skies‼️

Heat wave going across the country and horrible flooding in Florida.....my goodness.

Sweet dreams to all.

Jenny

Good morning...

Busy day ahead...neighbour is coming over to  clean the chimneys . Then we are off to the dump taking 7 huge bags of pines needles and the last of the ashes. Then home to bake bread .

Jane, do you plant radishes in your flower garden? I used to plant lettuce as the border on the flower garden, the lighter green made a contrast for the flowres and you can nibble away on it.

Patricia, it got way to hot for me with temps in the 80's, I prefer them around 70° This is above normal temps and we will be back into cooler ones next week.


Jenny, enjoy your Doodle sitting .

Better start the day before it gets too hot.........didn't think I would be saying that so early in the month!

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  It's going to be another hot one here today, too!  It's already 55º and heading for a high of86º!  It's early for that here, too, AMY but in April, we take what comes...expected or unexpected.

I'm all ready to make the doggie treats.  I have everything out.  Of course, I think I better get dressed before I start that.  I'm kind of loafing around this morning since I don't have any four-legged company!

Have fun with your Doodle, JENNY! And enjoy the weather!

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

Good morning, today, it's partly cloudy, plus 2. Tonight, will be the first day out of the early twenties for a high as we slide back into the plus thirties, albeit the lower ones. The snow has covered the ice and looks dismal out my window.

Amy, you and Jane are lucky to have a more temperate spring climate. We will have to wait for May to say the same.

Nothing new here. We had a building-wide notice reminding everyone of the rules and regulations for living here. It seems garbage bags and building carts are left in the elevators with the buttons pushed for the first floor, and people ignore listed quiet times. There has been a meeting about opening more of the first floor for mentally disabled adults to live independently, and there were good arguments, pros and cons, because of the scarcity of these types of housing.

Well, four of us made it here today!  Not much to clean up in the Soda Shoppe but I'll put the lights out when I leave.  If anyone else comes by and you turn on the lights, be sure to turn them off when you leave.

I had a busy day and I'm very tired!  Cooper won't be here tomorrow until just before 10:30 in the morning so I don't have to get up and rush around in the morning.  I don't know if that's good or bad.  If he's here early, I get an early start and seem to move better all day!  When he doesn't come until later (or not at all) I seem to keep putting stuff off til later and it sometimes doesn't get done at all.

The temperature did hit 86º today and we had about 7 hours in the 80s.  I broke out a short sleeved shirt and a pair of shorts for the late afternoon!

I wish you ALL a pleasant night's sleep and a happy tomorrow.  God bless!

Good morning..

Well ,we went from freeze to fry with the weather and we have broken past temp records!! We will have today in the 80;s then the temp plummets back to colder numbers.
Last night was the first time I went to bed with a chorus  singing in the background.......a chorus of frogs!! Folklore says the frogs have to be froze in 3 times before the weather stays nice.

More baking today , the cookie department is down to one lonely cookie in the container.

Better get at it before the temp rises too much.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning to the one who beat me here.  Thanks, for opening up the Soda Shoppe, AMY. And Good Morning to all who stop by later!

One of the things my new Dr. discovered is that my blood sugar is a bit high so I'm concentrating on keeping it down in time for my next visit.  Therefore, I'll keep my fingers out of your cookie jar and I've got all my candy on HOLD.  So far (three days) I'm doing pretty well.  I've managed to pass it by and I haven't hidden it.  THIS IS A TEST!

Our weather is supposed to get into the mid-70s today but it's going to be a rainy day!  Seems I'll be taking walks in the rain because rain doesn't bother The Cooper-Snoop!  He doesn't like high winds or high heat but he doesn't mind rain or snow!

I didn't get the doggie biscuits made so that's on today's agenda.  Cooper will be watching me every minute.  I sometimes wonder how he knows if I'm cooking for him or for me.  My dogs seemed to know that too. 

I guess I better get dressed and get started or my day will disappear like yesterday did!  I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Good morning; I've had a late start as my morning meet and greet ran long. It's fifteen above, and our high will be in the thirties, so the fine coating of snow will remain with no clouds.

Today will be a quiet one.

Farrah has been so hungry lately, expecting her dry food kept up and 2 ounces of wet food each morning with treats in the afternoon. Last month she had her first illness in her seven years with me.

She had a case of the runs and spitting up while not eating or sleeping. I was ready to rush her to the vet when it cleared up. Since then, she's been hungry.

Patricia, I will trade you! Just looked and it is 79° in the shade!!

Cookies are done , oatmeal and gingersnaps in the hidey hole along with a cuppa. Have a square in the oven and that is it ..after I bring the laundry in.

Ok.laundry in and so am I. That is way to hot out there..too hot too soon!!

Does anyone have Shirley's phone number? She has been MIA since April 11th.

Good morning...

We will (not) be enjoying hot weather today and then back into cooler (liveable) weather. Calling for rain and storms for the next two days, that will make the grass grow!!

A day of rest here ,will enjoy my time sewing.


Jane, you must of been tired right down to your shoelaces last night as you didn't say good night. If you eat anything sweet before you get your blood work done it will show up in the test. I don't eat after 6 pm if my blood work in being done the next day.

Enjoy your day  and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I'll be getting ready for church soon.  Son Phil is dropping me off today and friends will bring me home.

The weather here is still warm.  Today is predicted to reach 81º and right now it's at 56.  A summery start for us!

AMY, I was tired last night.  But I got a lot done yesterday.  It was so nice here that Cooper spent about 3/4 of his time outside, part of it on walks and the other part just lying around outside.  Once when I check on him and asked him if he was ready to come in, he looked at me for a few seconds, turned away and just stretched out on the ground!  I took that for a "NO"!

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

Good morning, plus 21 and cloudy, and that's all that I've got for today.

Good Night AMY and PATRICIA!

I won't be far behind you Jane.I really enjoyed my day of sewing ,still more to do but that's for another day.
Patricia , you can turn the lights out please.

Goodnight all. Been a bit under the weather so haven't been here too much, Enjoying spring and my flowering bushes.

Good morning..
Liquid sunshine out there this morning and a much cooler temp today. We got our yard work done jst in time! Now watch the grass grow from this and tomorrows rain.
 
We are off to the Dr  in a bit,Kyle has an appointment and he will also get his cortisone shots in his shoulders.

Neighbour said they are now wrapping up or I should say washing up after all the maple syrup making for this year.This year has been a good year for them  better than last year.

Rick ,hope you feel better today..just take it easy.

Anyone heard from Shirley yet?

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  This could turn out to be a busy day...or I could end up just loafing around and playing with Cooper!  I'll let you know later...maybe!  Boy! it sure looks like my life has entered the "IF" mode!

I do have my first load of laundry in the washer.  I stripped the bed as soon as I got out of it because I knew it needed it and I didn't want to take a chance on passing that up.  So that's one thing on my list that WILL get done today. 

Cooper isn't supposed to be here until 11:15 today but Frankie said she's going to try to get going early and come over here and give him a bath before she goes to work!  I'll be sort of surprised if that happens.  But if it does, the living room couch covers will join today's laundry.  He REALLY needs a bath!

Our weather is a little cooler and a little wetter today that it was yesterday.  Cooler will make Cooper walk longer and wetter won't stop him! 

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

Good morning all.
Finally a bit cooler here today, but rain expected.
Have a follow up Dr appointment later.  Also still in the "clean up" stage of a cataract job. More fun than a person should be allowed to have.

This is me on a Monday morning.  Weather is beautiful and I have things to do but the body doesn't want to move.  More coffee, please!    

Merry Monday, Everyfriend!

Phyllis,  I agree with you completely - except my "trap" seems to be a  24/7 one.!

Good morning! Late start this morning, my meet and greet overran  and I just poured my first cup of coffee after filling Farah's food and water and making the bed.

It's plus 19 outside and cloudy, with an expected high of plus 30.  I have no plans besides possibly doing a couple of loads of laundry if the rooms are free. Two things govern the five laundry rooms in this building.

Many people do their laundry on the weekends; if one room is in use, they will check the other four. Monday is another  bad day as all cleaners slash caretakers have the weekend off, so the caretakers are doing the empty machine search on Monday.

Well, it turned out to be a busy morning.  I washed everything that was on the bed and put it all back so I can go to bed clean tonight.  Then I (finally) mixed up the doggie cookies and got them baked and packed up. 

Cooper arrived during the packing and he seemed to know exactly what they were and started sniffing around.  Then he helped me clean up the crumbs off the floor. Then we took a walk and brought home the mail. 

And while I was right in the middle of that, Cathy called to see if I wanted to go to WM.  I did but I couldn't.  So she came and got my list and went for me.  And right after she left, I realized it was almost 1:30 and I had not had my lunch. 

PHYLLIS and CALLIE,  I've had days that I could identify with your cartoon lady but today wasn't on of them!!

The only other thing I'm doing today is putting together a casserole for supper.  But the recipe say:  Prep time 15 minutes, bake time 40 minutes".  The bake time is probably right but I've found that the prep time needs to be (at least) doubled!  I think their prep time is from having everything on the counter, opened and ready to go.  Mine includes getting it out of the cupboards, fridge or freezer, opening cans, getting pans out of the cupboard and waiting for the stove to heat.  Also draining and washing anything that needs it.  There's no one "off stage" here to do all that stuff!

PATRICIA, it's actually a bit "warm" where you are today! 

RICK, things are moving along with your eyes.  Be patient.  Time will pass and it will be better!

I better get back to work or I won't be finished in time to watch Mannix at 7 p.m.  And maybe I won't be able to watch him even if I sitting right in front of the TV.  My eyes might be closed!

Keep on enjoying your day, Everyfriend!

Havea problem with my IPad...can someone tell me how to fix it.  The page is split...don't know how to get it back to full size...thx.  CC

Darlene ,I think Rick might be the one to help you. Have you tried taking the cursor and pulling the one page over to the side? I don't think I am much help as I haven't had that problem. I just googled it and this is what was said.


Tap and hold the gray drag handle icon that is in the middle of this line. If you want to keep using the app that is to the right of the split screen, drag this handle all the way toward the left of your screen.

I figured it out...had 2 apps opened..had to remove one...dummy me...thx anyway

Happy to read it was an easy fix Darlene.


I am going to say good night and I am not sure if I will say good morning. We will be on the road at 6:15am taking Babe to the vet. She is getting her teeth cleaned and possibly  some out. Rice  and chicken are ready should she need soft foods for a while

Weather is a lot cooler making traveling  with the dogs easier on them. So far we have had rain and I sure hope we don't get the snow tomorrow!
