Good Morning Everyfriend!  I have to make this one a bit short.  I have my bedding in the washer and I need to get a shower and get dressed.  I don't know if the kids will be back today but I do know dinner's on me today.  I'm thinking of one of my casseroles.  I checked yesterday and they have everything I need. 

I'll remember to take a picture of Ali's flowers on Saturday.  Won't forget that one this time!

SHIRLEY, I hope someone as nice as you takes care of the kitties!  They need a good home!

AMY, I can imagine how you felt when Kyle wanted to "paint the living room" in time for your guests!  I'd have hidden his paint cans and brushes!

The laundry is in now I have to wait and then remake my bed!  I guess I could get my shower while I wait!  CINDY had gone to work right over there in the end of the family room!  That will be her morning.  I think, since it's cooler today than it's been, I'll take a short walk and look around.  My legs need a stretch! 

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow.  Make it your own in every way!

Good morning from a very smoky and 60 for a low Interior; the smell of smoke is everywhere. We're hosting some fire refugees. As we're the closest and locally largest city, we're the primary destination for almost anything, including medical assistance. Some folks parked at the fairgrounds with all the animal refugees, from cats and dogs to horses, goats, pigs, and alpacas and llamas.

The official high yesterday was 81 but my balcony thermometer read 83 in the shade. Below is an hour-by-hour current smoke and fire map for the state. If you look at the right-center, just above the city of North Pole, you will see a cluster of marks for fires. Underneath those, you can make out an F and an s. That's us.   http://smoke.alaska.edu/current_fires.html  A little further south is the city of Anchorage with its own cluster. Hmmm.

We used to enjoy summers in the low one hundreds but the past few years have brought fires every time we get into the high seventies or low eighties and in the tundra just north of us, it can burrow in and burn through the fall and winter only to re-erupt the following summer.

Good afternoon I slept in this morning. got aake at 1200 noon. and got up to bad newse. our up right freezer shorted out , and lowes is arguering about the warenty they sols us at time of prrchase. so we are having to buy a new one out of pocket. in mo. you can carrie a gun either conseailed or open on side.these deales make one think about going back to olde days, anc carrie, and settle things like they did in olden days. good thing I am old and slow and relise that. I have a loaded colt 45 revolver in the holster on the belt, but it is hanging in the RV. so guse Iwill leave it there. and chill out. have a good day.

Lloyd

I am more than ready to put my feet up but have one more garden to water. Baking is done for tomorrow, sour cream coffee cake to go with tea,2 doz buttertarts and one cherry pie and Kyle's cinnamon roll.

Lloyd it seems now it is cheaper to buy a new outfir than to fix them. Throw away appliances..

Tuesday afternoon HELLO to EVERYFRIEND 🦋

Another doctor appointment in the books.  I know many of you say "all you seem to do is go to doctors".......man oh man am I ever living up to that😩. I sure do not like being that person that ONLY talks about themselves, ESPECIALLY their woes!  I have so many caring medical professionals trying to get me well......I am truly blessed🦋

MARILYN.......our Av's are back in Denver with that coveted STANLEY CUP❤️ Oh my goodness what a honor‼️  The big celebration is Thursday morning in downtown Denver...... the younger me would be more than delighted to go and cheer them on🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 We have plans to be with our little grands that morning.....and that is much more to my liking🥰🥰.

SHIRLEY, I thank you for your concern and suggestions for Bob.  Right now he is just biding his time HIS turn to go to the doc for the tests🤪. I am saddened after reading back though the timing of Chas's passing😩. LOL.... at the thought of Cas wanting to paint the walls before the baby shower🤪🤪

PHYLLIS, I thank you so much for your caring thoughts and warnings regarding the taking of aspirin.  Some may not know that mixing drugs...even over the counter ones, can get one in trouble😘. I liked the thought you suggested of my Bob trying to keep himself calm, incase this is adding to his issue.  Thankfully, my hubby is about the most laid back person EVER.....he is like his mama......she lived to 102 and was the epitome of the most laid back individual I have ever known.  Just the exact opposite of me😩😩

AMY, we have never had a frightening experience of someone being allergic to something and having to be carted off to emergency.....I am sure it was frightening for both of you when Kyle took Aleve and got a ride in ambulance 😳😳

PATRICIA, your warning you shared for evaluation is frightening....was that for you and your area?  Here in the West we get a lot of these kinds of warnings as you well know🤪

OK, too much time and too many interruptions..... Ibest get this posted. 

Jenny

My smoky world

Jenny, we're asked to take in all the refugees and animals presently.

Lloyd, disgusting mail...... in this time to think of taking action you suggested shows somethings unplugged to even think of such, put on paper and share. I pray for you !
This but my opinion ONLY, but it's mine
Mycheal

Happy Evening Everyfriend!  We took a ride out to Ali's flower growing field today and took a bunch of pictures of the growing flowers!  As soon as I figure out how to send them anywhere, I'll try to get them posted here.  Then when we go to the Farmers Market on Saturday where she sells them, I get a picture of her and the flowers all set up and ready to go. 

I'm still having trouble working this new computer and sending messages is one of my problems.  But I'm in a good place, because daughter Cindy is and expert!

It's so nice to see everyone in here, especially JENNY and MYCHEAL who don't come by very often lately.  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one.  And may he give me a learning hand with this computer!

Good morning.

Overcast this morning with the thought of rain to come..I hope.

Friends are coming over today ,he is going to work on the van touching up air bubbles in he paint for us. His wife and I will be searching out new recipes for her to try. Just have to bake some bread and buns andget the fixings in the IP and I am good to go.

Jane ,I bet the field looked beautiful ,flowers in every colour of the rainbow !

Jenny, we have had a few scary moments but thankfully all in the past now.We have often said if it weren't for Dr's appointments we wouldn't go anywhere!

Patricia,I hope today is a better day with less or no smoke in the air!!

Better get the bread made!

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning everyone, This will be short, have an eye doctor appointment at 10:30. Cox TV was off all day yesterday but PC and phone were working Cannot figure that one out. Wonder how much the bill will go up. Usually does after it goes out for a day

My son will pick me up at 9:45 to get there. Nothing is close around here, just a town with several villages. Used to have everything in town till city people moved in. They wanted the peace and quiet but business was done in the cities.

Have a good day and stay safe

Hi Roley..

Good to "see" you!!! I miss your arm chair walks as I am sure others do also! When you feel up to we are ready to sit and walk with you.

Hello Everyfriend and a special HELLO to you, ROLEY!  We all remember you and your armchair walks!  Welcome back.

I wasn't able to employ Cindy's help to get the flowers posted today she had too much office work and the kiddies showed up this morning and stayed until after lunch.  I didn't ask her to do anything for me because she spent the afternoon catching up on her job.  Maybe tomorrow!

I took a walk tonight after the weather cooled off and I found a little pond wit a fountain in the middle of it.  Very pretty!  Tomorrow we're going to a couple stores and then Saturday will be the Farmers Market.  Cindy has to go to her office in Dallas but I'm going with Jim to help Ali get set up and then to do some farm shopping and also to take a pic of her flowers on her stand!  Gonna be a couple of busy days!

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one! And may he protect us from COVID!

Hello, Roley (I think I always called you "Peter" didn't I?  I'm Tisie/Shirley and also enjoyed your walks. We lived in England (Marlow and High Wycombe) when my husband was in the US Air Force stationed at the satellite base that joined Wycombe Abbey (out of South Ruislip). We kept saying we were going to get back but never did. Anyway, nice to see you in here again! 

Sweet dreams to all, it has been a very long day & still much to do before I can go to bed.

Good to hear from you guys, it's great to see so many familiar names. I'm sure the armchair walks will come back at some point when i get used to using the computer again.

    

  Happy Birthday Michael  

Good morning everyone. Mike was here on time so we were a little early. Did not get out of there until after 12-noon. I told him about that film that covers my right eye at times that takes all day to go away. Oh boy he went through all those machines and kept looking at the results then went back to the old hands on way starting with the drops in the eyes and then after they had opened all the way he looked in them again. Kept asking me questions. Seems like the corneas are swollen. Now he has been in the business all his life-his father  is one of the founders of the group and his sister is a eye doctor, too. Well I have a script that Yvette will go for today and I go back in 4 months-if it is not snowing. My son was grumpy by then. He dropped my off in front of the building but did not come up here like he always does. I knew there would be no talk with Regina today, they had to go into town-that includes driving round trip-so I laid on the couch and slept 2 hours and woke hungry.

ROLEY--PETER  of course we remember you and missed you and wondered what happened to you. Yikes 3 years in a hospital must have been torture. I pray your health is much better now. You were missed by all or us and your  Arm Chair walks.

JANE  the lake with the fountain sounds like a perfect place to sit and relax.

AMY  I remember the days when we made birthday cards and looking up those days every month and now I never look at them.

MICHAEL  Enjoy your special day.
            

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I hope you all have a great day.

GLORIA, good luck with the eye drops.  I hope hope they do the job.  Coping with bad eyes is no fun and I speak from experience!

I have to get on with my day and this will be short because I have a cramp coming on in my left hand and that makes typing a bit difficult.  I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

@Gloria ;

Whoops. i did type a reply but it got lost in space. i'll try again...

I will find out how to continue my armchair walks when i get a little stronger, Nice to see my ladies again perhaps we can Skype sometime soon. I'm very weak and tend to fall asleep while typing but i'll try my best to become regular again. In the meantime my grandson is here helping me with all the computer stuff so replies may be a little slower but give me time and i will answer.

I haven't had a walk for several years except for on my PC. I'ts the only way i can get 'out' now

Nice to see you all again, its cheered me up a little.

-Roley (Peter)

Armchair walks are back again!
The first of many to come.

This one is the Five Bells pub in Chailey. Come and have a drink with me!

Attention all you home "canners".  Amazon's "prior to Prime Day" is featuring canning lids, several different offers, with some containing large mouth, regular mouth and small mouth lids.  The prices look great to me, although I don't can and wouldn't be buying any.  One offer has 100 lids...I think thats the one with 3 sized lids.

I took time out to watch, Roley/Peter, and thoroughly enjoyed the walk in the rain. I do remember being caught in the rain many times when I walked from Highfields down the spinny to Marlow. It was quite a walk but I was young and had a pram to push to bring groceries back in. They (groceries) stored under the rain proof cover of the pram with the baby. Great memories. Thank you for taking time to share the link!

    Let's make a new start HERE
