Good Morning Everyfriend!  I'm going to church on line today.  Got up feeling tired and decided that I better not take any chances today.  Also, my priest is off today and we have a stand-in and the friends who usually give me a ride home are out of town.  There are others there who would give me a ride but I think it might be best to stay home.

AMY, I don't have a lot of apples, just some that need to be dealt with and when I use them, the chunks will work best.  Thanks for your answer.  ALSO"

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Lloyd, I am sure you are behaving and only having a tiny slice of pie so your sugar doesn't go UP.

Friends are stopping in for a bit then on their way home before traffic gets nasty.

Better get busy and peel veggies and  season ribs..

Good morning, I'm up; Farrah's fed and my coffee finished brewing. I took one load of laundry down the hall with two more to follow, and that, plus more paperwork, will be my day.

Amy, I'm sorry I neglected to wish Kyle a happy birthday and you both a happy Thanksgiving! I'm hoping things will soon begin to settle down for me.

 Phyllis, I'm also apologizing for not wishing you a happy birthday earlier; 93 is quite an achievement which MaryPage on Norm's also shares. I hope your birthday was, as Lloyd says, just as you liked it.

It's 39 degrees so far, ten degrees warmer than expected, and while there is extensive frost, the snow has yet to appear here or below 2000 feet. Jeanne P showed up at Norm's and said she was feeling good, just depressed with the usual senior ills.

I hope everyone is having a good day!

You don't need to apologize, Patricia.  Thank for the good wishes.  Yes, it was a good day.

Now I am apologizing for a late Happy Birthday to Kyle and Happy Thanksgiving to both Kyle and Amy.

Take care, All.  Maybe I will post more tomorrow when I don't have to text it.  Texting is not easy for me.

We didn't have the Sunday cooldown that both the weather reports and Farmers Almanac predicted. We gained fifteen degrees. The other day, snow clouds drifted right over us and into Canada's Yukon; oops...

Yesterday and today, we had rain clouds but no real rain. Then around eleven AM, it started with rain that quickly turned to hail. I can count on three fingers the times I've seen hail here. So, we expect another record-breaking year as in the last four.

At 3:30, that hail turned into light-blowing snow mixed with rain.

I've spent the afternoon re-arranging, re-organizing, and tossing my clothes and night clothes. There is a lot that I had forgotten about, and since donations aren't available in town, even the recycling plant has closed, so what I don't want and don't plan to toss is going into one of my plastic totes.

And now, back to work.

Gosh, I am stuffed! Only have myself to blame
We are to get another frost tonight so I had better bump up the furnace.

Phyllis and Patricia,thank you, will tell Kyle of your Birthday wishes..and thank you for the Thanksgiving wishes.

Jane, thank you for the Happy Thanksgiving...apple chunks should also work. I know I was pleased at the way the slices turned out...still white and crispy!!

I'm off to the haystack!  Cooper is spending the night again.  Frankie didn't get off until 7:30 tonight and she has to be in at 7 a.m. tomorrow.  She didn't feel so good and thought she needed the sleep if she was going to make it to work tomorrow.  If she doesn't go, she'll be around when she's up to pick him up.  So I have a bedfellow tonight.

I really can't tell you what I did today other than a long phone chat with my sister and finishing my library book.  There was a lot of other stuff but it didn't register.  I didn't get the apples canned but I think I might need to pick up a few more tomorrow before I do them.

I did have another bowl of AMY's (adjusted) potato soup and it's still yummy!  And I made a pretty good chicken supper.

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

Good morning..

Will give the Rex his pill and feed both he and Callie. I left the tv on for them last night, not just them but to let on someone was home.

Will continue with jobs that didn't get done yesterday...and not all will get done. We can have a repeat of what we had for supper tonight and I still have haluska leftover.

Crows, blue jays and the odd robin have been coming.Fiesty blue jays will even pick on the bigger crows! Have yet to see many flocks of geese going over head and it has been a while since we have heard the loons calling.

Better get ready to meet the day.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.


 

Good Morning everyone. the weather guesser is saying partley, clouddy,it is too dark to see so I will have to take his/her woord,I am sure Nancy has seean it but I never asked her what it is. I do not know what you all have to say about dreameing,hope it is not sighn of passing too quick. I dreamed last night I was haveing a conversation with a uncle of mine, ha passed on years ago.well I hope I do not suffer hard in the prosess, but I am reaady any time to leave this wourld for the better place in heaven. I have taken my vitials and sent them on to VA via sadilight. hope you all have a great day just like you like it,

Lloyd

Good Morning AMY and LLOYD and anyone else who shows up.  The coffee is ready and so is the tea.  You'll have to do your own sodas.  I'm not into that.

Cooper and I have had our breakfast and a LOOOOOOONG walk and have taken care of his "business".  Now he's curled up on the couch and here I am.  When I finish here, I'm going in the kitchen and peel and core the apples I have.  I waited too long and one of them decided to leave me.  When Cathy and I go to WM this afternoon, I'll pick up a few more and then the apples will get done tomorrow....I hope!

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

Good morning; Half past eight, and I'm getting a late start this morning after a restless night. We had snow this morning, but it's only on the grass and rooftops. It is thirty degrees presently, and our low tonight will be twenty-five.

To me, four hours behind, timewise, I always get a kick out of your morning posts. I imagine everyone scurrying around between one and three AM doing dog walks, household chores, and drives, then retiring between four and six PM in the afternoon. I can't remember if we're having time changes this year. It seems to me the time change was nullified, but I can't remember.

Time is changing here on the first Sunday in NOVEMBER.  I was hoping NOT but it ignored my wishes.

Jane, we also get it then too.
I have been watching "new" young ckicks trying to find their way back into the pen...can't corral them or they would be scattered hi wide and handsome.

I was looking at a site that provides cat products, and it was discussing shipping issues worldwide. Many people don't realize that Alaska has volcanoes and is part of the ring of fire, along with Hawaii, Japan, and others. Volcanic eruptions affect air travel as well as other issues.

I found this note, "Alaska? Hawaii? Your packages are going via USPS; cross your fingers that no volcanoes blow up this year."

the grimalins got me again. well we are home but not with good news. the goverment's crunch on econimeney has caused  us to loose severial thousand dallers. the meeting weith the advier was not good. we are going to take all our $$$out of edward jones and put in cd's.they are garnteed to not go down . but the income is not good. oure goverment is more intersted in foren countreys than oure home land.

In the last thirty days,

https://www.seniorsandfriends.org/index.php?msg=224529

We went to WM and I got my hair cut and while I did that, Cathy took care of both our shopping lists.  Then we went to the library.  We forgot it's closed on Monday!  We came back home and Cathy loaded up Cooper and dropped him off at Frankie's house so she didn't have to come out and get him.

After I put away the stuff from WM, I put away some leftovers in the fridge for an early supper.  Then I finished off canning the apples.  It was a pretty productive day!

Now I'm going to do a few odd jobs and hit the hay early tonight.  Tomorrow is laundry day and I think Cathy said something about going to the Amish grocery store.  Another busy day! 

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

good Morning everyone. well i am confuzed. the government took money out of our edward jones acount. I thought it was safe, not so.they are telling us onley safe money is cd's. i do not under stand that the same govenerment that took our money they are saying are gaerneing our cd's are safe ?. Have a good day just like you like it.

Lloyd

well the weather guesser is saying 81º and mostley sunnny I do not understand how he/she can say that it is dark here, I see a few little rain drops on my office weindow. have a good day just like you like it.

Lloyd

Good morning...

Coat day with a temp of 25° at the moment but it is to be a nice sunny day.
we are off to the stores this morning ,Kyle needs a trailer jack and we need some moo juice.

We did get the 5  5 month old chicks back into their pen....4 went the way they got out ,under the fence  and the other one flew over!!

Jane, sounds like a fun day also going to the Amish store.

Patricia, that would be a new excuse as to why you didn't get your mail!!!Sure beats sorry the dog at my homework.

Better get ready and get the day started..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning AMY, LLOYD and anyone else who stops by today.  I slept pretty good last night and I actually feel rested.  I'm up and attem...had my breakfast and the first load of laundry is in the washer.  In fast, I think it's already in the second spin cycle.

Right now, it's 41º out there but it was down into the mid 30s overnight.  I think it's teasing us and one of these nights it going to dip into the freezing zone. 

LLOYD, I think the government can devise ways of getting at our savings no matter what we do!  If they want our money, they get it!

I think the washer is emptying out right now so this load will have to go to the dryer and another one go in here!  And we're off!

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

Did they tell you what it was for?  Or why.  Edward  Jones should be able to tell you about it.

Good morning, It's 6:53, 28 degrees, and pitch black out my window. Today will be another busy one as I'm waiting to get my trekking poles assembled, paperwork into the office, and more mailed out.

Amy if only  Pavlov and Bogoslof and others behaved themselves. They and others have, at times, disrupted air travel, sending ash 35,000 feet or more into the air while commercial planes fly around thirty thousand feet. "McNutt said 90% of air freight from Asia to Europe and North America flies over Alaska air space, and hundreds of flights – including more than 20,000 passengers – fly through Anchorage's air space daily.

"If there is an explosion and (ash) reaches high altitudes, it will cause flights to be rerouted and ultimately canceled," McNutt said."

Alaska has 130 volcanoes, of which 90 have been active in the last century or are presently rumbling.

I posted photos showing the last thirty days, during which we went from minor leaf colors to vibrant colors, falling leaves, and then snow. That has to be a record for us.

Patricia, we didn't know that Alaska had that many volcanos!! Interesting information, thank you.

Good Morning (if I type fast),

Could someone remind me how to change my profile picture, please? Also - where are you finding the initials?

Our weather bounces from needing the furnace to turning on the a/c.  Part of it for me is that I have large windows on the west and the afternoon sun makes it almost hot - and stuffy.

Busy day - busy week -    instead of the usual 

Stay well and happy, Everyfriend.

Patricia, I didn't comment but the photos are gorgeous...  busy trying to clean out the RV after having to slam on brakes in KC traffic. Such a mess, what was in far back ended up in front & what was on table (even tho on that skid proof rubber stuff), ended up under my seat & at my feet, a first of a kind mess after driving the elephant 9-10 years!

The trees in MO were sort of changing but not pretty colors, mostly dry & dead looking leaves. Guess you got enough water. Nothing pretty around here, either, so thanks for sharing with the rest of us!

Back to work, gotta get these sweat pants off & back to shorts & sandels my feet are soaking wet in sox & tennis shoes! Tiger is back to her normal (but spoiled) eating. She is looking at me like "let's go take a nap".... but she doesn't help at all cleaning up stuff!

Lloyd, I took a chunk of money out of my "money-market" account (where no penalty for taking out early like CD) and put into a new type CD one of the savings & loans came out with.... actually same company/bank.... but over 2% interest and SAFE so better than it has gotten all year, but at least didn't lose any. My kids are moaning about how much they've lost so I'm just playing it safe. When CDs came due last year & year before & new rates so low I just put everything into that moneymarket account & hoped rates would go up & I'd have the money "liquid" and could invest fast. I'm no accountant but for sure I have MY OWN interests at heart & won't cheat myself!  Even with all income cutting in half when Cas died nearly 10 years ago, I am a few dollars ahead, in spite of extreme expenses on pool & the motorhome, new car. I pinch where I need & spend what's necessary and for sure have spent a life time of living like it was WWII ... not bragging but just grew up being thrifty & saving for that rainy day. I think most of us grew up knowing where every dollar came from so guess we all make choices on how to deal with our lives. I do feel very blessed and do agree with my mother when she said, "now the government is taking charity out of our hands"... so decided what went for taxes was what she used to give to people that needed. Made sense to me!  So many young people don't bother to work anymore and don't really know how to. All that belongs in another Discussion so I'll just shut up and hope you can search & locate where to invest that's safe!

The wind is wagging the trees every direction so that is stirring up the ragweed, BOY, it is!!!  Lunch time & looks like Tiger is taking a nap by my feet & not waiting for lunch.

Well, Callie, love to help but NO clue anymore. I'm in same boat with going from hot to cold clothes/house/furnace & AC.
