And now I'm up!  I actually feel pretty good!  I  think I like this early evening time.  It still wasn't dark when I came home and as I said last night, I didn't really have to DO anything before I went to bed. 

It's a bit cooler this morning than it's been and it looks like we're only heading for 79 as a high today.  That's not bad. 

I have my Alaska casserole in the oven.  Turns out I didn't read far enough and it's a breakfast casserole...not dinner as I thought when I started it.  I'll let you know how it is!  Next week will be Arkansas and I think it's some kind of corn bread.  Should be good.  I like corn bread. 

The doggies and I are waiting out the "boinger" for their pills while the casserole bakes.  The timing isn't perfect but it will allow them some begging time after they finish their own breakfast.

JENNY, it's so good hear that your father is doing well at rehab.  Sounds like he's in a good place.  Prayers continue!

I'll check back later to see what everyone is up to!  Enjoy your day!

Good morning everyone..

A beautiful cooler morning here but the weather guessers say we are in for a hot spell. We do need rain here and hope to get some soon.

VON here this morning, they are now coming every other Tue.I would think they will soon stop as it will be a year in July they stated. I purchased another gazebo yesterday only to find out that it is one for the ground and not on a deck that we would be using it for, plus the instructions left a lot to be desired. We will be taking that back to the store after VON.

June, hope you're feeling better today.

Jenny, that is good news about your Dad...hard to keep a good man down!

Jane,sounds like you're ready to meet the world, you must have had a good nights sleep. Is there any difference between Johnny cake and corn bread? The neighbour sent over Johnny cake with strawberries in it yesterday and I sent back ham and scalloped potatoes.

Carol happy to read everything is alright with your  computer.  I just got some cat-a tude fabric beautiful colours too.

Larry, thank you, I would look for them the next time we go to Costco. My friend told me about squash filled  ravioli  she got there and said it was good also. So I will be looking up both when I go.

Better get a move on here.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Jenny, I am so pleased your father is doing so well. I read an article that a big % of us "older American's" are anemic or close to it, even a cause why some of us get a little "tipsy" when we move too fast..... iron carries the oxygen in the blood.  You might urge him to eat a lot of raisins along with the red meat & eggs (with yolk).  I keep looking for an address for him in my e-mail box, to send him a card, but as fast as they are moving him, probably wouldn't catch up unless sent to his home, right?  I'm grateful you share your father with us, probably not many still have their father to dote on. I lost mine in '94 at the age of 95, Mom died 5 years earlier. I have 2 boxes of mothballs at the back door to throw under a storage area "out back" where critters like to hang out. I used them in the berm a few years ago when we had lots of skunks, raccoons & opossum around. The Dollar Tree had boxes (for $1) so I keep them on hand, don't see those critters at all this year... so far. 

I've put off as long as I can, cutting up & tying up the brush we cut out of the berm last week.  We're allowed 4 extra bundles each week, besides the dumpster so will take a few weeks to get rid of everything. Going to do that before a shower & then treat myself to a Panera breakfast.... I always do "carry out" when by myself and better hurry or I won't get done in time for breakfast hours!

Hope everyone has a terrific Tuesday (thanks, Callie)....  Larry, we got a full inch of rain in my gauge but radio said 1 & 7/8... a help but not nearly enough to save the grass/weeds on the hill.  In our sandy soil I had no problem going down to the river & even the river bed that is now beach... was not muddy. Back to upper 90s the rest of the week, with "feels like" 100+. Yuck!

Hi Everyone on a day that starts at 80 degrees and headed to the mid-90's.  Once again last night we had popup storms around the area.  We got maybe a quarter of an inch of rain as the storm didn't stay around very long.  I guess this is the time of the year for these storms. 

Yesterday was really at down day and hoping to have more energy today.  I hate to admit it but I became a bit grouchy and that is not me.  I went to bed at 8 pm last night and had a good nights sleep.  I have the kitchen chores done except to fix Pat's breakfast when she arises.  Today is the run-off day for the Primary elections.  I hope to go vote as the polling place isn't very far from me at an elementary school.  The main race is the governor's race.  We had a good dinner last night as Pat had put together a meat loaf and we had some packaged steamer potatoes and some steamer white sweet corn and that made a good meal.  We will be using more of the frozen vegetables that come in the steamer bags as it made a quick and easy dish that is ready in the microwave in a few minutes.  Tonight may well be a TV dinner night as we have a couple in the freezer or a salad night.  The yard people are here bright and early this morning.  I just went out and told the young man doing the edging to skip our backyard this week. 

Mary Ann, I wouldn't think the Amazon link would have anything to do with your having been able to see the link I shared but one never knows.  Actually Bubba Watson has won three times this year after the win last weekend and may be highly considered as the Player of the Year per an article I just read this morning.  He was ranked below 100 last season but is now in 17th place.  The prize money for the Open Championship paid the winner over $2 million dollars and I think all of the PGA Pro tour has top prize money over a million or more.  It is my understanding that the caddies usually get 10% of what the player wins. Jenny probably knows more about this than I since her son is a golf pro now. 

June, sure hope you are feeling better today with more pep.  That Hula dancing must have been a little too much for you. 

Carol, glad you got the email problem sorted out. 

Jane, glad you found the evening work not any worse than earlier in the day and it does have that added advantage of not feeling you need to be doing other work before bed time. 

deAngel, I have found it interesting to search each week to see how the prize money in the golf match is distributed. Those players that do well take home some pretty big paychecks even when they don't win.

Jenny, glad you learned that you Dad did well on his first day of rehab.  It sounds like he has a great attitude and that is so important.  Does your area have a problem with raccoon's being rabid?  I sure wouldn't want to be around them. 

Amy, hope you do get some rain without the storms soon and I am sure your garden would also appreciate it.  Does VON send the same person each time or do you get different people.  How do you use your gazebo?  Too bad you have to take the one back that you just purchased.  I think I would prefer my ravioli stuffed with cheese although I do like squash and we often have it that Pat fixes in a skillet or in a casserole. 

Shirley, you were fortunate to have our father until the age of 95.  I lost both of my parents in their early 80's, which is kind of frightening considering I am fast approaching the ages when they died.  However, it is my goal to live past the early 80's.  Hope you enjoy the Panera breakfast.  We have had lunches there but never breakfast. 

Bubble, thanks for posting the links for Peter.   

Very interesting links, Bubble and Peter.  I always enjoy seeing scenes of England and to see where some of our forefathers began is very nice.

Sorry, I reread my last post and didn't understand it myself..

Now, I will go back to the post from Bubble and Peter. 

Larry, I had read also about the caddies getting 10% of the golfer's winnings, so if the player gets $1 million, the caddie gets $100,000 and that's for just one weekend.  Even if they don't get that each weekend, they make out pretty good by the end of the year. 

Carol, I had an idea what was happening with your e-mail, but I really didn't understand your post either.  I have to proofread my posts after I post them to see what I've said and I always have to correct something to have it make sense.  Even then, it may not.  As I've said, I explain things "clear as mud"!

Mary Ann

Good morning everyone, a real sleepy head this morning. Woke at  4:30 and thought too early to get up turned over and woke a little after 9. Still sleepy.

PETER  I did use Bubble's link late yesterday and I enjoyed that trip. I loved the history and the buildings. Thank you.

LARRY  my thought was that at times even with my rollator it is hard to walk and they cannot push me in the rollator. I had checked several sites when I bought mine online and do nor temember where I saw the one that converted.

JUNE  I feel like you did yesterday, just worn out tired of doing nothing.

CAROL  hope you have better luck with your HP laptop than I have had with my HP desktop. Have had nothing but trouble since day 1.

JENNY  glad your Dad is doing so good.

SHIRLEY  have not been able to find mothballs around here for almost 10 years. Good to have around to keep critters away. I sure would go with you to Paneras for breakfast or lunch.

Just cancelled my CNA for today. Going to either go back to bed or on the couch.

Good morning.  I have not been here for a few days, as I just was not feeling all that good. So, wasn't doing very much on the computer. I was still having  problems with a UTI and really didn't feel well.  I decided to stop the medicine and I know now that was the culprit. I spent most of the week end in bed or in my recliner.  I did feel a lot better yesterday and even better today.   I did talk to the doctor's office and let them know that I had stopped the medicine.  I know you are supposed to take the full prescribed dosage of an antibiotic, but was told, that since I felt better that it was ok.

I didn't go back and read the last 2 pages of messages, so I do hope everyone is doing well.

It is a pretty sunny day out with the temperature going into the lost 80's.  Some showers on Wed and Thurs, and then a bit warmer, but a rain-free week end in store.  The last 3 or 4 weekends have been rainy with bad thunderstorms all around. 

I am not sure if we will do anything for the 4th of July over the week end.  Makes it harder when the Holiday comes in the middle of the week.  Will  have to check with the family to see what is being planned.

I really need to get some chores done, as I have not felt up to doing very much for about  a week now.  Have only done what had to be done.  I know there is a pile of laundry calling me. 

I will try to get myself back in gear soon.  And, not  be a stranger for so long.

Hope everyone will have a great day.

Joy

Joy, I'm sorry to hear about your UTI.  I had it once for a few days and the antibiotic did take care of things.  I don't remember if I felt "blah" or not.  I've taken an antibiotic for various reasons over the years but I have had not adverse reactions to them.

All is well here.  I found out that tomorrow evening Tom and I are going to baby-sit the twins in Holland.  Tom will have to do most of the work as their beds are upstairs and I don't do stairs.  But I can love them.  I'll try to wear a metal necklace because they seem to like them.  One time I wore a pearl necklace and when one of the girls went after it, I knew that was the wrong thing to wear.  At that time, I put the necklace inside my blouse and it was none the worse for wear.  Live and learn!!!

I hope you continue to feel better.

Mary Ann

Good afternoon

Jenny, so happy to hear your father sounds well  I have to  go to the dermatologist every two weeks to have my blood count check, some week I have to get a Peocert shot, it's now up to $990. a shot and medicare says if ai can have it if my count goes below 10. It did go to 5 when I was in the hospital and the set me up for a tranusion, but the doctor said first lets try the shot and it came up to 8, so I did not have to have the transfusion

Thank you all for the nice positive comments of support about my Dad and his progress. 

GLORIA de, I forgot they said they were giving my dad shots for the low blood count, so maybe he is getting the Peocert Shot you are speaking of?  YIKES, a shot that costs nearly. Grand??  WOW.  It at least sounds like it worked well for you. 

JOY, I, too, am sorry to read that you have not been feeling well.  I hope you continue to feel much better very soon. 

SHIRLEY, I sent you my dad’s address and I thank you in advance for being so kind to send him a card.   He will be surprised and very happy to hear from anyone that does send him a card, and I thank you very much.  If anyone else would like it just let me know.  Also, if you just want to send him a email greeting thatwould be nice also.  I doubt he will see any email until he gets home or until I am down there but that is fine too.  I just came from Walmart and do you think I could remember I wanted to get some moth balls?  Gurrr. 

MARY ANN, how exciting that you and Tom will be staying with the little twins.... yes, live and learn about what is safe to wear around babies! 

LARRY, I, too, have heard most of the pros pay their caddies 10% of their big wins.  Of course this  in addition to their regular pay.... some caddies get their travel and expenses paid by the sponsors, but I do not think it is a stead fast rule.  No doubt, those caddies make a very good salary. 

I was interrupted, so will try to finish this post now.

I just talked to my Dad and he sounded rather confused to me and not very talkative.  Diane is still there with him so I will call her after she is home and see if she can fill me in.  He said he has been so cold, and has asked them if they can turn down the a/c.  When he is up he said he has to have a blanket wrapped around him in addition to a jacket. 

I had my mammogram and Dexa scan this afternoon and I am sure happy to have that done.  It was hot out today.....the car said 100*, but not sure if that is the official temp or not.  We will be near to 100 the next two days! 

AMY, I am anxious to read about your Alaskan meal.  I hope you enjoyed it. 

I hope EVERYFRIEND enjoyed their day. 

Jenny

 good Night everyone and sweet dreams. Hope to see you all tomorrow. In two defferant rain showers today we were blessed with badly needed rain in the amount of 2&3" tenth's.

Lloyd

Good morning everyone..

Looking like rain out there this morning, I hope we get an all day soft rain as the grass is getting crispy!!

Took the rest of the gazebo down yesterday, my what a job :knuppel2:a friend wants the metal from it ,and I want the walls to use on the garden. My muscles are telling me I shouldn't have climbed around on the ladder like that ,good job I am going to the chiropractor this morning!!

Larry, for a while we got different ones but then settled into just the same one but she was off on holidays this time.  We sat outside in the gazebo during the summer, I do have an umbrella that goes on the picnic table so we will use that. Less work for me!

Jenny, I did get a card off to your Dad yesterday. Do you think maybe your Dad was just tired when you talked with him?? When in their own home they can nap any time but not so where he is now. Jenny it is Jane that is adventurist on her meals, at least she doesn't get tuckered out travelling for them


Joy, hope you are feeling a lot better now.


Mary Ann you will have fun and lots of stories of the twins when you get a chance to post them.

Gloria de, my that is costly and nice that it is paid for!

Lloyd, good to see you, is calving all done? Farmers are at the haying here now. Next will get the grain combined when ready.


Better get ready , have an early appointment.


Enjoy your day everyone..

Good Morning Everyfriend!  It's cooler this morning and temps are only supposed to get into the low 70s today. 

AMY, we have your rain...soft and gentle and supposed to last most of the day.  We also need it but I'm sure the grass will be jumping out of the ground to slurp it up!

JENNY (and anyone else who is interested).  The Alaska casserole was delicious in spite of the fact that I misread the recipe and put in regular chopped onions instead of the green ones.  However, I think I had enough to serve all of you if you had shown up.  It's a breakfast casserole and now we shall see how well it freezes in meal size containers. 

I'm off to WM at 8:30 this morning so I better be getting ready.  Wish me smiles and short lines!

 amy I hope not. would like to have enough to sell for a profit this fall for a change. Have a great day and hope that you get just the kind of rain you like.  we got two defferant nice rain showers yesterday, total of two and one third inch's, god is good.

Lloyd

Good morning everyone 58°. I did nothing yesterday but lay on the couch with the TV on and dozed on and off all day. Slept good last night and do feel more energetic today. Guess staying off my feet most of the day helped with the pain. Ahh these 'Golden Years(?)"

JOY  only had a ITU once and the NP gave me just  2 antibiotics and was surprised how fast they worked.

MARY ANN  any dangling earrings are bad to wear around babies. They love to grab at them, too.

GLORIA de  that  shot is very costly. Glad your insurance pays for it when you really need it.

JENNY  the few surgeries I had I was always cold, too, and asked for another blanket. When I had the capal tunnel ones it was as outpatient and they had nice heated blankets. The first one that doctor had me sedated but the other doctor I had for the other 2 just numbed my hand/wrist. I was awake the whole time and never had to have the wake up after. I dislike being sedated, I have a hard time waaking after. When I had the shoulder replacement the surgery was at 1pm and I really did not wake till the next morning. My DIL s tayed at the hospital and said she talked to me in the recovery room but I did not remember it at all.

LLOYD  getting pretty dry here, too. We were almost 2 inches short last month and this month we have only had brief showers so we already have a big loss  of  needed rain this month.

AMY  I intend to ask my NP next month when I see her about a chiropractor for my back. I had seen one who advertised that he specialized in back problems but he is at the other end of the state, could not sit that still for that ride.

JANE  hope you are enjoying those casseroles. I like making the ones that freeze good. Of course it in one of my CNAs who does the cooking for me. Have short lines and just enough customers so you are not bored.

Had my coffee and time to get into the shower and let the warm water beat on my back as I just sit and enjoy it. Have a great day.

Gloria, being short, I have almost no neck so I do not wear dangle earrings.  It is button-type or no earrings at all.  Unless I'm going somewhere I usually do not wear necklaces, but knowing the girls grab them, I'm likely to wear one - metal.  I can always take it off and put it in my purse.  We're only going to be there two or three hours, then come home.  I don't know what James and Alicia will be doing or where they are going.

We are enjoying a nice rain now.  It has been a while since it rained and I know the grass and flowers will appreciate the rain.

Mary Ann

Hi Everyone.  It is a cloudy morning and about 75 degrees but only headed up to about 90 this afternoon.  We had another popup storm last evening and it looks like we had about 1/2 inch of rain.  There must have been significant wind as my artificial flowers were blown out of their ceramic vase on the front porch clear over to the side of the house and halfway back between the houses.  I was able to get them and they don't seem to be any worse for wear.  We have a chance for more rain today.  I have a light schedule today and the only thing planned is to meet Jennifer and Elizabeth at IHOB for our evening meal and then they will come out to the house for a little while.  Scott is working tonight as had traded his day off with one of the other employees and then he will have Sunday off.  While yesterday was another down day for me I woke up this morning feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. 

Mary Ann, apparently most of the caddies, if not all of them, are excellent golfers themselves.  I didn't realize that they got their expenses paid for by sponsors  or drew a stated salary.  Those working for the better golfers have to do very well. 

Gloria, you said you couldn't be pushed in your rollator but I have to wonder why since there are handles and wheels unless it is the lack of the foot rests.  Stacey used to move around with her one good foot when she came out to the house and had to use the transport chair to get around in the house.  I have not had good luck with my HP printers and don't intend to ever buy another one.  I think it will be laser printers for me from now on. 

Joy, since the 4th of July is on a Wednesday this year and Wednesday is Scott's day off of work I expect we will have hot dogs, coleslaw and potato salad or potato chips, which has been our traditional 4th dinner for years. 

Mary Ann, I hope you and Tom enjoy the babysitting.  You can do the enjoyable part of holding them a bit and seeing them and Tom and do the diaper changing and feeding.  That should be a nice change of pace for you both.  I expect James and Alicia can use a short break away from the twins.  Will this be the first time they have left them in someone else's care? 

deAngel, one must wonder what goes into medicine to make it so expensive such as you shot.  However, it sounds like the Peocert is what you have needed and works for you. 

Jenny, I expect your Dad will have some up and down days.  They are probably keeping him pretty tired from the rehab exercises and things he needs to do to regain his strength.  Does your car have the start feature before you enter the car so you can get it cooled down when it is outside in the sun? 

Amy, does your gazebo have netting around it to keep the pests form bothering you?  It sounds like taking the old one down yesterday was quite a job.  Are you not replacing your gazebo?

Jane, sounds like a very nice day up your way with a nice slow gentle rain.  Hope you have a lot of smiles and short lines at your work this morning.

Lloyd, that is a nice rain and hope a lot of it soaked into the ground and didn't just run off. 

Gloria, nice to see you are feeling more energetic today.  I am also feeling more energetic today after a couple of down days where I didn't feel like doing anything.  I remember years ago when I had heart caths done the labs were very cold and it was before they had the heated blankets available.  I would be laying there on the table with nothing on other than a sheet and just shivering.  Sedation can be very hard on us as we age.  Not to discourage you but Pat went through three months of chiropractic treatment three times a week and it really didn't help her at all and the chiropractor told her that he had done all he could do.  The spinal stenosis was too severe all up and down her spine.  Do you use and ice pack on your back?  Pat uses one across her lower back each morning when she comes into the family room and sits in her easy chair and that seems to help her until she is on her feet for just a few minutes.   

Larry, I don't know the reason for our baby-sitting session, but I wonder if it is to give James and Alicia time to pack before their move to another place.  They have been living in Student Housing for Hope College in Holland and James is no longer a student.  The authorities let him stay as long as there were no requests, but now they have someone who needs the housing.  James found a house where they will move around July 4.  I am sure it is difficult to do any packing with a couple of active toddlers in the way and/or wanting attention. 

Larry, watching the caddies and seeing the player and caddie exchange information, I have realized the caddies have to have a lot of golfing knowledge.  Spieth's caddie is a former math teacher.  I don't know about others.  But to be successful, the golfer must have someone who knows what he's doing - and why.

Our rain has quit for a while, but radar shows it in the area yet.

Tom and I are going out to eat this noon.  If he wants me to pay, we must go to the bank first.  I have five ones in my billfold.  Plus my credit card.

Mary Ann

Mary Ann Tigers caddie worked for him for 10 years, then they had a falling out.  I read he was a rich man, but he then tried to make more money by writing a tell all book

I've been home since about 12:30 and had the doggies out and fed myself and gave them a snack and checked out some stuff on the computer.  I guess you might say I've been "goofing off". 

I think this new schedule is going to work a lot better.  I'm not as tired today as I usually am on Wednesday.  Having a day off between work days is better.

Now I'm going to finish my "goofing off" before it's time for supper.  Anybody want to join me?

Gloria D, I think it was Phil Mickelson's caddie who went into broadcasting the golf matches.  His nickname is "Bones".

Mary Ann

Tom watson, wrote a beautiful  book about his caddy, who was with him till he died,He was young when he passed away. Forgot the name of the book.  Tigers caddy is Godfather to his daughter,that is how close they were Maybe he just new to much?

Had a busy day. did a lot of phoning as no one showed up for our Bible Study. Gary and Dori will be home this weekend so he will get it straightened out. Our Pastor called me and thanked me for my attempts.

I had lunch downstairs with friends then an appointment with our monthly doctor. She worked on my feet today, and the are very sore from taking off the calluses. Spent the rest of the day at home....no nap, so I am off to dreamland.

Love, Hugs and Prayers. Always. June

Posting late again....
Just seems the days pass so quickly.  This one was a HOT one for sure.  It was officially 101*. Tomorrow they project it to be 103*!

My Dad sounded a lot better today.  Diane said he called her three times today to tell her all that he was doing and just talked and talked.  When I talked to him late this afternoon he told me he was not nearly as tired from his PT today as he was yesterday.  I am feeling a lot better about him tonight.  Thank you again for your positive thoughts and prayers for him.  Amy and Larry, you both called it right, Dad was probably just tired form his workout all day.  Thank you, AMY, I know my Dad will appreciate getting our card.  Very sweet of you. 

JANE, happy that you enjoyed your Alaskan casserole......I hope it will freeze well and be just as good the next time you have it. 

JUNE, sorry you did not have anyone attend your Bible Study today.  Maybe they all like it best when Your Gary is there❣️

LARRY, we do not have the auto start in our car. 

Pleasant dreams to all......
Jenny

Good morning Everyfriend!  I'm off to pick red raspberries this morning.  I want to try to beat the rain but I'm taking my raincoat just in case.

My cleaning dynamo changed my day this week because she had a cranky grandbaby and she wanted to be able to relieve her daughter who had to go to work.  I'm flexible!

When the boinger goes off, I'll feed the doggies, chase them outside for a bit and thenat 7:30 I'll throw my stuff in the car and take off for the raspberry field.  This year, I'm only picking red and black raspberries.

Tomorrow, my daughter will be coming from Maryland for the weekend.  It's her high school class reunion.  She always enjoys the activities and getting together with her friends.  I'll just give her the extra key and she can come and go as she pleases. 

Enjoy your day Everyfriend!  Make it your best yet.

Good morning everyone...

We ended up taking the metal to my friend at the appointment. On the way home we were treated to seeing 3 fox kits.. beautiful little fellows!

Today I need to contact a lady to make a quilt delivery plus I do have a bit of ironing to do.

Larry, yes it did have netting plus a privacy cover, you could zip that up and stay out in windy or wet weather.

Jane, our strawberries are just coming on, raspberries will be a while yet.I remember going picking wild raspberries and would leave my horse at one end of the field and she would pick any raspberry within her reach! My goofing off consisted of an afternoon nap!

Jenny, I can't imagine temps that high!! Glad to hear Dad is doing better, he will have good and bad days, lets pray the good out weighs the bad.

June, would gell insoles help your feet?

Hope Joy is feeling better

Enjoy your day everyone.

Had this sent to me and thought I would share..


...Am I getting to that age?

I found this timely, because today I was in a store that sells sunglasses, and only sunglasses. A young lady walked over to me and asked, "What brings you in today?
I looked at her and said, "I'm interested in buying a refrigerator." She didn't quite know how to respond.
