We both just had our bivalent shot...that makes 5 shots we have had thanks to covid. We do have our names in the flu shot when it comes. Last booster shots set me on my behind 

Shirley, I agree with you on saving where we can. I was lucky enough to pick up 2 pkgs of lean hamburg with $5.00 off each.....cooking it up now to give the dogs something differnt. Will freeze a lot of packages and then thaw   to mix in with their kibble.
Driving has changed in the past few years...everyone is in a hurry (to meet their maker) and text or on the phone..Driving used to be enjoyable but not anymore..

Well, I decided to "set a spell" and rest my bones!  I stripped and washed the bedding and replaced it and then did 3 more loads of laundry, washed, dried, folded and put away.  I have a pot roast in the crock pot for supper.  I put away my canned apples and also the recycling.

Also cleaned out some dresser drawers and read the paper.  Then Cathy texted to say she was going to the library and did I want to go along.  I did!  Got a couple books and I'm going to sit and read tonight.

Almost forgot...I filled the bird feeder and put some bread out and some peanuts for the squirrels.  It was one of those "just keep moving" days! And now I'm under protest.  Not gonna move any more today!  See y'all later!

Amy, as I got older, I used to love long drives, often with no destination or time in mind. Now I indulge that preference on drives all over the world via YouTube.

As a child, driving with my family through Alaska and Western Canada via jet boat or car, and later throughout the US visiting relatives, wasn't as fun as my father plotted out the course and mileage pre-trip, and unplanned stops were not encouraged or allowed.

 I remember wanting to try out various motel pools when we stopped for the night, but again, that wasn't in the plans. So as an adult, I indulged freely, although I never had the chance to try out a motel pool or the ocean on either coast due to various circumstances.

Ten years ago, a friend and I often drove to the various hot springs, rented a hotel room, or stayed with friends in their motor coach for a week at one of the local hot springs; now, that was a vacation. Or my friends and I were going upriver to various cabins for the weekend or a week. I miss those days and those friends who are no longer with us.

Actress Angela Lansbury has died.

Thanks, Jackie!!!    We'll see if I did it when I post this.  Didn't think of clicking name at the far top - kept trying to use the info next to the posts.

Shirley,  our leaves "crackle" instead of "rustling" when the wind blows. I can see a few yellow leaves scattered around the yard but cottonwoods are still full of green ones.

Patricia, most of my "run-around-with" friends are gone, too. Others have health issues that make it hard to communicate.  I really miss them.

I've been to get hair done and then to bank, get med refills at one pharmacy's pick-up window and get other things at another pharmacy, which has become like a "mini-mart" because it has more choices than the one where I get my med refills.

Off to and probably for a while.

I thought I saw initials like monograms instead of pictures beside some names. Must have made it up

Thank you, PATRICIA for the link to the story about Angela Lansbury.  She's always been one of my all time favorite actresses and I loveed "Murder She Wrote". 

Today was a very good day!  All went well and things got done.  Nothing special was done...just "stuff"  Lots of little stuff in between the big stuff (like putting away another drawer full of summer stuff while I folded and put away the laundry.  I don't even count the "in between" stuff!

Now I'm heading for the haystack!  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!

Sounds like most had a good day, maybe not our shiniest... (gee, is that a word?)moments BUT a full day. I'm sitting down with a dessert bowl of celery cut into 1/2" bite sizes, got into a habit of doing that 'cause my father thought celery healthy and 'cause I don't like the long strings and HE thought that part is good for us. I like the crunch & taste better than popcorn. Not much to talk about when you don't do anything so will wish y'all sweet dreams & God Bless. Not sure where Tiger is but she'll show up in my bed to see if I will serve her milk about 2:00 am. My poor Fitbit will have a nervous breakdown if I ever get a full night sleep!

good morning everyone. well I went to VA yesterday and seen a defferant docter than i usaly see, she was verry nice,pleasen to visit with. she told us she had sent some new kinde of med;s to our house, and shure enough they were setting out side on our dorstep, in a refirgated insulated pakage. so a new porcedure to learn. she gave Nancy a new list of instructions.so will be ok, Nancy reambers lot better than I do.

Lloyd

Good morning...

Weather dogs came in and said it was spotty rain out there this morning...

Not sure what today will bring, know I have a cane begonia to plant, pot and soil already to do the job and cooked hamburg to package for the dogs.

So far no ill effects other than a sore arm from the needle for me but Kyle is feeling tired. Rainy day makes good napping day..

May get some sewing done.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I've been up and attem for a bit.  Cooper arrived wanting his breakfast so we had that together... he claimed the last bite of mine.  Then I got myself dressed and we went for our first walk of the day (he took care of business.  I froze)  I'm  going to have to root out my winter coat pretty soon!

Now HE'S int there taking a nap and I'm in here chatting!  On the agenda today is a batch of Jim's Egg Thingys (or J.E.T.s as AMY thinks I should call them!  I might run the sweeper and if I ge really ambitious, I might bring out the floor mop and do up the bare floors after I sweep.  However, I started one of my library books and it's in there calling my name.  I just might give in!

Our temps have been going down into the the 30s overnight and back to the mid to hi 60s during the day.  Typical Fall days around here!  I love it!

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

I woke up this morning to another snowfall and 24 degrees. It looks like we won't see any more fall season, and many trees still have their leaves. I got my trekking poles set up yesterday, One to use and the other on standby, so I'll feel more confident out and about in the snow.

Today I will hand-deliver the last three sets of seasonal legal papers, and I may stop at the grocery store while I'm out.

Tomorrow will be, as Callie says, a couch potato day.

I just watched a video on a series of hundreds of connected waterfalls that are three times as high and longer than Niagara. It, Iguazu Falls, is one of the world's eight wonders and sits between Argentina and Brazil.

Lloyd was in thoughts and prayers today;

Hello Everyfriend!  It was a nice day today...kind of cold in the early morning but sunshiny and warmer midday until after 6 when it started cooling off again and then we had a short shower around 8!

I got a lot of paper work done this morning and some stuff finished and put away but I'm going to have a busy day tomorrow.  I have to run the sweeper in the morning and maybe mop some floors and then Cathy is picking me up to go to the Amish store in the early afternoon and daughter, Christy (Frankie's mom) is coming for a visit sometime tomorrow.  If I'm not in for a visit, it's because I just have too much to do!

PATRICIA, some time ago I read an article about the Falls around the world and that some of them were even more spectacular than Niagara but I'm not close enough to visit them and I've been to Niagara Falls at least 9 times in my lifetime.  And each time it was shared with a different group of people.  The first time I was 13 years old and went there with my parents and my two sisters! 

I still have a couple things to finish up before I hit the haystack so I'm wishing you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!

Illy has been there but unfortunately that was before she had her cellphone, so no photos to share with you all
She did see a lot of the world and continues to do so.

In the links I included in that post are multiple photos of the falls.

Good morning...

Liquid sunshine out there this morning. Kyle has blood work this morning then home to scare the dust bunnies. Windows were going to be done but maybe another day will do.

Patricia, enjoyed both your urls. Can't imagine the roar of all the falls!!

Jane, enjoy your day!

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

This will be a quick "Good Morning Everyfriend".  I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow.

It's raining here.  It rained during the night and is going to continue off and on most of the day!

Good morning; 19 degrees at 8:55, and tomorrow is expected to warm up and bring more snow. I've finished my morning lineup of chores and routines, and this is the first day in 68 that I didn't have a paper to read and respond to or a big chore hanging over my head.

I'm almost afraid to trust this relief feeling without something else needing my attention!

We're having a nice visit but I don't get to sleep with Cooper.  He's sleeping with his "Granny".  That would be my visiting daughter.

I'm off to the haystack.  Tomorrow is going to be a busy day.  We have lots of errands to run and lots of talking to catch up on. 

BUBBLE, that sounds like a well-planned Halloween celebration! 

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

well it is past my bedtime, so ibetter go sckoot and get my Meds down the hatch and shot over with.I will try to ask Nancy tomorow, what for shure Our CD'S are paying, and they are federialy insurde. I thin they are 4.8 ? see you all tomorow.have a good peacefull sleep and plesant dreams.

Lloyd

Busy day as usual. Breezy & dry around here. Still didn't finish cleaning out the motorhome. A MUST DO for tomorrow so I can run the sprinklers, the slide hangs over a couple of the sprinkler heads so it needs to close up. Plan to put into boxes a lot of the stuff that doesn't get used, some I bought and lots the kids have given me. Sure made a mess when I had to hit the brakes hard!

Wishing all a beautiful fall day tomorrow, sweet dreams and God Bless.

That is a good rate for CDs, Lloyd. I went for a 10 month & hope rates will go up but it's anybody's guess.

Good morning.. No rain as of yet but the weather folks say it may. I did manage to get some sewing done  and we had a visit from SIL later on in the day.So some of yesterdays work is still available to do today. Putting away t shirts and bringing out winter wear seems to fit the bill today..........along with sewing. 

Patricia, usually when we let our guard down something else is sure to pop up....lets hope it doesn't. Please keep the snow your way.....thank you


Shirley, good job nothing was broke when you slammed the hooks on!!! Don't you just love it when other try your reflexes?

Jane, a busy one ahead for you today?

Best get ready to meet the day..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.
