Not so busy in here today.  Nice to have CottonCandy join us.  Come back whenever you like.

I'm off to the haystack now.  Cindy and I have had a nice visit including a good supper. Now I'm heading for the haystack because Cooper will be arriving early and later Cindy and I are going to do some errands. 

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

Good morning

Liquid sunshine day here..

My eye lashes hurt..will do what needs to be done and coast the rest of the day. Not used to working like that. Kyle would say we stood in the stable over winter not working and now the muscles are screaming at us.

Jane, enjoy your day out with Cindy.

Better get moving.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Still not so busy in here!  We better get a bit more active or they'll start thinking about deleting this place and then where would we hang out?

Cooper has arrived and he's had his breakfast.  We'll be taking our walk soon so I can get on with my day.  Cindy will be over soon to do what she needs to do for her job from the computer this morning and then this afternoon, we're going to take care of some errands that I need to do and some that she also wants to do! 

I hope you all have a great day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Well, someone appeared while I was typing.  Good Morning, AMY!  Enjoy your day off!

Good morning everyone. that film my right eye went away while I was sleeping. Lasted longer this time. I was told it is a gel like substance that breaks away and slowly dissipates. I see my eye doctor the end of this month and will ask him again and see if he says that again. Slept good but was cold when I woke and once again was glad I forgot to store away my warm winter robe. Up to 55 now, beautiful blue sky. Boy Yvette is doing it already-spoiling me. Does not let me do anything that is the least bit like work. I keep telling her I have to do something. I will not be able to move. Maybe I should take advantage of it now before she goes for the surgery on the other knee.
Saw the forecast for the week. Rain Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. We could use it, very dry here and on the news they warn about outside burning.

Like others said I want to be cremated. I do not want to be put in a box underground where no one will visit anyway. What is done with the ashes I would like a hole dug and the ashes there and a Lilac or other flowering bush planted over them.
AMY  I never heard of aquamation, is that ashes cast over the ocean  or water of some kind?

CC  post here as often as you want. Seems we have lost several who once posted here and now only a few of us here. We don't bite and you must read here at times.

JANE  I am with you, would hate to see us shut down.

Today is shopping day and have to write the list out for Yvette. Sure will be great to have someone who can read and know what I want.

Have a good day and stay safe.

Not sure why, I deleted & tried again but the size 4 came out lots larger than normal!!! Not sure what will show up but time to get outta here!

Gloria, this will explain aquamation to you.

Missing you all somuch, but now I am caught up again and smiling at your many enjoyable posts💗

We are home from San Francisco.  We were there one week, two days after we arrived our son and DIL left for three days and we enjoyed "doodle" time, then they returned for the remainder of our time together.  It was WONDERFUL being there.  No oxygen needed at all, thanks to he lower altitude.  The day our sn and DIL walked back in the door we had the call we have been waiting on......our new Grandson Leon was born on 6/2/22 at 6:11 MDT.  He weighed 7# 15 oz. 

Yesterday we drove to meet the little Leon, and he is as cute as can be. I prayed that he would have BLUE eyes, and he does‼️  They look light enough that we are hopeful they will stay that color. Our oldest grandson has blue eyes....the other grands all have shades of brown to green to gold.....all very pretty, but, I am very pleased to have another blue eyed boy!

Back to physical therapy again today; then to the orthopedic surgeon to hear what he has to say about my CT and MRI'S I had done.  Praying that he has a good plan of what might be able to be done about my hip problem🙏🙏

We have been watching our Avalanche sweep the Oilers......we are off to The Stanley Cup playoffs.  It has been 21 years since we had the last Stanley Cup win and we hope we can do it again🏒🏒

I need to get ready to head out the door.  Have a great day EVERYFRIEND 🦋🦋

Jenny, I'm so happy for you and your "blue-eyed boy!" How wonderful and how many does this make now?

With all the talk about final arrangements, I'll add mine. After dealing with three family deaths and burials as executor and fighting with those who were positive they knew better than anyone else and so much more than the deceased final wishes, I made my wishes legalized and final years ago.

After my death, my body will be sent to a medical school. After they've finished, my body will be cremated and returned here. The cremated remains will be placed next to my daughters in the sacristy at our Episcopal church. The medical school will pay all costs, leaving none to be borne by any family members.

I legalized my wishes for multiple reasons, but the main one was because a member of my family attempted to circumvent my dad's wishes to be cremated by filling out unauthorized paperwork for a burial. This added fuel to tensions that are still not resolved 27 years later.

I aqm a little Late aggain this evening. I hope you all had a good day today, and have sweet dreams tonight. Hope to see you all tomorow in good speairts and health. good night.

Good Night Everyfriend!  After all our activities today, I went to sleep on the couch at about 9 and woke up a little before 11.  I'm groggy and ready for the haystack. 

Cindy, Cathy and I went to THE FENCE restaurant for supper.  It was raining and The Fence is an outdoor restaurant.  They have some tables or you can choose to eat in your car.  We ate in the car because it was raining pretty hard.  The food was just as good as usual and the company was excellent!

It was nice to see so many people hanging out here in the Soda Shoppe today!  I'm not going to mention names because I'll surely miss someone and it was good to see all of you!  And now I'm hitting the hay.  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow.  And may God bless us, every one!

I'm here & heading to bed, been a super busy day. Daughter heads home in the morning & I will head to Walmart to have that "house" battery put in & tires checked. Will drop off some extra food (chicken salad & chicken noodles) at son's house on the way. We never did get everyone here at the same time all week & lots of left overs 'cause I made a double batch of everything.

Rick, I always use size 4 but for whatever reason it kept looking like a 6 or 8, I mean it was monster big! Then I lost it from the clip board so gave up. I'm hoping life will slow down for a while. Need to vac the pool & backflush extra water out, we've been getting rain nearly every night. Makes the grass grow so needs mowing more than evey 7 days. Not a good thing except my mixture of fescue, clover & bermuda looks pretty nice.

Congratulations on the new blue eyed Great Leon, Jenny! The family sure grows fast, doesn't it?   Maybe we'll get to see a photo of him soon?

Patricia, my oldest brother also gave his body to a medical school/military. I called to ask about the procedure & was told they will use it for about 2 years, cremate and bury in the cemetery at the school/hospital and will have a bronze marker to show where the remains are plus another bronze marker with his name for his wife's grave. She also said they will refuse the body if any family member objects to which I answered carefully that HIS WISHES should be honored! 

I'm beyond sleepy so will not try to remember what I said this morning & lost. Been having some breathing problems so going in for tests next Monday, could be Covid side effects, could be lots of things but for sure, once you've had any heart procedure that is where "they" want to lay the blame. I already sent a note to my GP that I want to eliminate what I think is the problem (I'm sure he's shaking his head) before he tries to send me off to any specialists. I'm not a good patient. 

Gloria and Jane, both of you sound super happy lately, I sit & smile at the computer with your happy talk. Concerned with all your aches from stacking wood, Amy, take it easy! Hate to tell you but you were not lazy all winter, we are getting older & time for the body to object to all you put it through!

And I am heading to bed, sweet dreams.... May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You...

Good morning..

We are off to the city today. Meeting a couple of ladies, then returning items that did not fit.

Jane, what an enjoyable time you had with  both girls.

I had better get ready for the city, load my boxes of "stuff" to take to the ladies and get everyones water to take.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Well, I don't know whether to say "Good Morning", "Happy Lunch" or just plain "Happy Day"!  I got up early this morning to meet Cooper's arrival and I was just having my first cup of coffee when he came.  So I fed him, ate my own breakfast and then fed the birdies.  Then Cindy arrived to begin her work day!  We had a bit of breakfast together and then Cooper and I went for a walk. 

When we got back I sat down to read the paper and Cindy talked a bit between computer entries.  Now she's gone to meet one of her old school friends to do some shopping and have lunch!

JENNY, congrats on the new member of your family!  I hope his eyes stay blue as you wish for him!  I know he's going to have LOTS of love from all of you!

GLORIA, you and YVETTE must have been laughing loudly!  I think I heard you!

SHIRLEY, I have more animals in my yard now than I ever did.  Red-winged blackbirds, grackles, finches, cardinals, blue jays and a couple I haven't identified.  There are also squirrels, and chipmunks and who knows what else!  I have one black squirrel and at least 3 gray ones.  When we went to the store yesterday, we spent more to feed the wild things then we did to feed us.  I love watching them!

Now I better get busy and get some stuff done or I'll be leaving some necessaries behind!  Have a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Is anyone currently using "CCLEANER"? If so - comments?

I have for years after my guru recommended it. Easy to use and I never had a problem.

I have used it for years.  It is easy to use and cleans up the unused stuff very well.  And, I only use the free version and always felt it was enough for me.

The building's social committee is back operating after two years. We had a Memorial Day picnic, an advert for wood planter box rentals for the front of the building's gardens, and notice of spaces available for a parking lot rummage sale sometime this month.

Libraries and others are resuming trips here, and other organizations are advertising talks, lunches, and offers. The open-air spaces such as the enclosed dog run and smoking area across the street have reopened. Everything is back to so-called normal except most of the five sitting rooms remain locked.

There is still reduced staff, no inspections scheduled, and maintenance still arrives shrouded in layers of plastic, including head and feet.

On the personal front, I need a few grocery items, a few towels washed, and that's my day.

We had a good day. Gave my friend fabric and batting for her to make items for the humane society and she gave me quilt books and fabic that ties in the the cancer quilt I am about to do!!

Patricia, sounds like you are slowly getting back to normal there..

Jenny, what a sweetheart he sounds and can't wait for photos. What a long haul you have had with your shoulder and now hip. do hope your Dr can eleviate your problems on both.


Patricia, you just remined me we need milk!

Bubble and Phyllis - Thanks for the feedback on CCleaner. Since the updating of Windows through several versions I have let things slip. Now - I am in the need for some cleanup. When I have some quiet time, and some incentive, I will download and start using it. It seems the most likely one to me at this point.  Through all the updates I have not been keeping pace.   

A good Wednesday HELLO to EVERYFRIEND 🦋🦋

I add a picture of Baby Leon as my avatar.   It is not the best one I have but it was taken shortly after birth and it shows those BLUE eyes‼️

Thank you for all the nice comments welcoming him. 

PATRICIA, Leon is our 7th grandchild. The oldest, Matt will be 17 in August.  6 boys and one girl🤪🤪 I do not think we will be having anymore, but one never knows.  Our third son and his wife still talk about children, occasionally, but it appears it probably will not happen.  We are very blessed. Good to read that you have your burial arrangements made.  I am thankful for those that give their bodies to science to help our future doctors learn what they can from them.  I made that decision the day our son took us in the cadaver lab knowing how important bodies are for their training.

AMY, it has been a VERY LONG HAUL getting me back in working condition.  I met with the orthopedic surgeon that ordered the CT and MRI'S for me yesterday and now I am going to have some epidural injections in my lower back and a ligament in my groin.  Oh Lordy, I sure hope they will work so I can get moving again.

While we were at the surgeons office, Bob's smart watch went off and the doc saw Bob look at it......he has been having A-FIB since we came home Saturday.  Monday Bob called our internal medicine doc to see if he could get in to have this checked out.  They can not see him until late next week.  My PT suggested we go to the ER and not wait to see our doc.  The surgeon said  "if you were my dad I would tell you to go to the ER.......NO, let me rephrase that, if you were my dad I would take you to the ER.  So off we went to the ER.  HE was indeed in A-FB.  They did blood work, did a ekg to confirm this and started him on meds before sending us home.  This morning he is feeling fine and his smart watch no more A-FIB‼️  We are so glad we went.  The follow up with a cardiologist cannot be done until August 4th!  Good grief.  We have a call in for another office🤷 CRAZY it would be that long! 

JANE, happy you are enjoying a visit with Cindy. 

SHIRLEY, I am glad you have been having some visiting with your daughter also.

GLORIA, HAPPY HAPPY for you having Yvette back.

Have a good rest of your day.

Jenny

Good morning...

Woke to the rhythm of the rain, not that we need any more but it did sound nice.

Picking the neighbout up at a dealership this morning then home to work about.

Shirley, how is your garden doing? Did you re-plant your seeds? I had to do that with cylindrical beets.

Better get ready to meet the day.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  (and Good Night as well since I forgot to check out last night)

I did visit photos and I loved the quilt!  Your sister is a lucky one!  She'll love both sides!

Right now, I'm waiting for Cindy to arrive and take up her office space in my dining room.  She's spending the nights with Cathy and the mornings at her office and some parts of the day with me and some with her long-time friends from growing up here. 

We won't have Cooper today but Frankie and Cooper might both stop by later and they might even spend the night.  Frankie said she NEEDS some "grammy-time" before I take off for OKLA.  I love that!

I think I have most of my stuff ready but I'm wondering how it's all going to fit in the car.  We might have to rent a trailer!

It's good that your problems have taken a vacation, SHIRLEY!  I hope they manage to stay away for a while! 

AMY, I hope your "eyelashes" are rested up!  It's no fun not to be able to blink when you need to!

I better get started on the packing of "stuff"!  I hope you all have a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow.

Well, Jane, thought I was on a roll when I got the RV to Walmart & a very nice man back in auto found the right battery for it & even did a double check to see if it cured the generator problem (it did), checked air in all 6 tires & pronounced them "fit to roll" and we had a nice visit about Colorado (where he lived until about 5 years ago. Came home happy.

My long Mennonite made table in the family room/kitchen has all 4 leaves in to hold all the paperwork "to-dos". Have a $100. e-Bay gift card waiting to be checked out, bought it years ago but never used because you need a PayPal account to go with it. Some day I will learn to read the fine print. I gave it to my daughter the other day since she said she'd use for something. BUT when she tried (still had that sticky band across the numbers) it had 0 balance!! How can that be?  Says it doesn't lose value over time right on the card!  Have  any of you ever tried to contact e-Bay?  Happy I don't have an account with them and never will.  On the other hand I did get the silicone today I ordered for the pool & it is NOT what I ordered. How can a seller hijack Amazon orders?  After looking at it with disgust I read the reviews & horrified to see this place has done the same to other people! Why doesn't Amazon take them out of their selling place? Now I will be afraid to trust Amazon for ordering & WE have become close friends over the last few years!

Bottom line is I was scammed with the e-Bay valueless card and scammed with a seller from Amazon that sent a fake bottle of silicone. I am not about to return the silicone, not worth the trip to return in this heat and so far e-Bay doesn't have a human attached to ANY phone number. Going to Sam's Club & buy my water, bread & something else written down on a note in my purse! Does it seem like NOBODY in the world is responsible for anything they do these days?  Clouding up & to rain later so no need to vac the pool since it will be icky again.

Jane, my little "Robby-robin" is sitting on her nest by this door so I can keep track of her. I hope when her babies hatch they don't fall into the pool when they leave home. I'm keeping Tiger in the house unless I go out with her. She can't get to the nest but if a baby falls out..........

Good almost afternoon and Yvette will be here soon. Woke at 4, turned the PC on and then my eyes started closing on me.  Put the PC to sleep and laid on the couch and woke 20 minutes ago. When I woke earlier it was pouring. Now I can see blue sky and white clouds.

RICK  I had CCleaner for years but when my grandson installed a new PC for me that never made it and I forgot all about. I know it ran on it's own and I never had anything go wrong or any problems that I can remember. Then again my "rememberer" is not as good as it used to be either. I also had Ad Muncher -that one I paid for- and was never bothered with a darn add. Had Spybot Search and Destroy another free one. Hmm wonder if I should look those up again.  I do not trust Microsoft to keep my computer safe-even is a niece married a Russian who works there. They met online and I think he came here and married her so he could stay here and what better job for a russian spy to have? I net  him once and he was not very nice.

PHYLLIS  I always went for the free thing and if they work right why pay for it?

I started this late this morning but then Yvette got here at 12 and we just sat and talked most of the time. I did get my massage and she made me a shake with coffee ice cream and 2 bottles of vanilla ensure and some Hershey chocolate syrup added. Now she is back for awhile she said she would work on fattening me up again. I laughed and wished her good luck an adding even 1 pound. A lazy but good day we both needed. I laughed so hard my ribs still hurt.
Hope tomorrow I can get here in SS before Yvette gets here.
Have a good rest of the day and stay safe.
