Here, only registered organizations may salvage kills after being notified of the site by local authorities. Then the meat must go to charitable organizations for client distribution.

We are on our second day of steady rain and cooler temperatures. Sunday will be the third with steady rain, and next week is supposed to warm up and dry up some.

JaneS · July 15, 2023, 10:04:50 PM

Well, today was certainly a better day than yesterday! I got a lot of things done and I have ended the day with a feeling of accomplishment! Now I'm heading for the haystack and a good night's sleep!

Cooper will be here around 6:45. This was Frankie's weekend to work this month. Then next Saturday she goes on vacation and Cooper and I have a whole week together!

I wish you all a good night's sleep and a happy tomorrow. God bless!

RAMMEL · July 15, 2023, 11:10:27 PM

Goodnight all. Turning the lights off.

JaneS · July 16, 2023, 06:51:12 AM

The coffee's on for anyone who's ready! Also, there's tea and hot chocolate or cold drinks if you prefer. I also put some cookies out because that recipe of AMY's makes a million and I'll never work my way through them all. Try them! They're good!

I'm waiting for Cooper's arrival and then the day picks up pace. He's on the the way. Frankie just called. Have a great day, Everyfriend!

Amy · July 16, 2023, 07:12:53 AM

Good morning...

More rain in the forecast along with sound and light effects too!

Not usre what is happening other than a day of rest. There is an antique car show in another town but not sure if we will go.

Jane, thank you for the tea and cookies. They do make a lot but they don't last long here with my cookie monster. Have fun with De Cooper.

Rick, thank you for turning the lights off..

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

Good morning, another day of rain and chores. Yesterday was this year's start of Golden Days, a weeklong celebration of our town's founding as a gold rush camp when a miner found an enormous nugget, and everyone rushed to try their luck. There's still a lot of gold here, it's only no longer easy to get to without lots of equipment and workers. Plus, there is lots of opposition to what comes with messing around deep underground.

Amy · July 16, 2023, 02:00:09 PM

Patricia, you had a 7.4 earthquake in Alaska, did you feel it in your area?

patricia19 · July 16, 2023, 03:50:08 PM

No that was on the seaward side, at Sand Point, which is almost three thousand miles from here.

JaneS · July 16, 2023, 10:54:02 PM

I'm off to the haystack! I have to be up and ready to meet Cooper in the morning. He'll be here about 6:45 so the day starts early! I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow! God bless!

Amy · July 17, 2023, 07:17:58 AM

Good morning..

Looking to be a lovely day, starting out at 61° and not heading too much into the fry weather.
Not sure if the folks that are to fix the overhead door are coming today or tomorrow, he just said Mon or Tue. Must admit it will be nice to have it working proper and not just sometimes.

Jane, enjoy your day with Cooper.

Patricia, good that it was that far away. I haven't heard of any damage caused by the quake.

Better get ready for the day.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · July 17, 2023, 08:27:04 AM

Good Morning, AMY and anyone else who shows! Cooper arrived, had his breakfast and his first walk of the day and now he's outside watching for the stray cat that tried to come in our yard yesterday. He chased it away and I'm hoping he scared it enough not to come back. I suspect he was going to harass the birds at the bird feeder!

Today is "finish cleaning out the canned goods shelf"! These are the actual cans of stuff that I buy at the store...not home canning! I finished one shelf Saturday and I promised myself to finish the other one today. Unfortunately, I have a very interesting book started and it keeps hollering at me to get back there and read!

AMY, I hope the guy comes and fixes your garage door so you can use it every time you try!

I have one Dr. appt. this week and it should be a quickie!

Now I better get on my horse and get to work! Or should I put an egg in my boot and beat it? Whatever works best, I guess! I wish you all a good day...bettter than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Amy · July 17, 2023, 10:32:12 AM

Jane ,so far no fellow but maybe this afternoon.
I think I gave Shirley a good chuckle as she was watching over us. I was at the back repotting some angel wings begonias when I heard the sound of a young hen, a pullet. Looking around I saw she was at the neighbobours and not in her pen. She was heading towards the road so I walked a bit ahead to cut her off ,talking to her as I went. She wasn't flighty and just carried on. Over on my neighbours lawn I herded her back to the fence ,trying a couple of times to catch her......no go. When we reached the corner..(yes I had her cornered) I reached ,grabbed her ,she was vocal making the other hens come to the fence but then I lifted her over the top and into her pen. No idea of how she got out. That is my excitement for the day. : )

phyllis · July 17, 2023, 11:35:17 AM

Not so nice and plesant here, Up in low nineties today and really humid. This has been a trying summer.

Nothing much going on. I bought a new robot vacuum cleaner and I have been giving him a work-out with sweeping up the dust and debris. He is doing a good job.

That's about it for any goings-on around here so I'll say...

Take care, All.

patricia19 · July 17, 2023, 12:10:42 PM

Good morning, 57 and sunny out there today, and the rivers are still flooding in low-lying areas.

Amy, the quake, starting everything, was in the Aleutian Islands, that chain that stretches west out into the Pacific. They're a chain of fourteen large volcanic islands and fifty-five smaller ones. They see a lot of volcanic activity

mycheal · July 17, 2023, 08:34:42 PM

My thoughts and prayers are with Shirley's family, She had such a gusto for life enjoyed.
May she rest in eternal peace and love again all those that were waiting for her.

RAMMEL · July 17, 2023, 11:28:17 PM

It's cool sitting here with the lights dimmed and the A/C on --- but lonely.

JaneS · July 18, 2023, 06:25:42 AM

RICK, just imagine we're all sitting there with you! Have a cookie!

Amy · July 18, 2023, 07:27:42 AM

Good morning..

This may be the day the overhead door gets fixed. Baking needs to be done and not sure what else will be done.

Rick, Jane does have lots of cookies.

Making this a quickie as I need to get some groceries before the store become busy.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

RAMMEL · July 18, 2023, 08:30:01 AM

If I lived near Jane I would be the Cookie Monster - sneaking in to get at those cookies. Between my son and I, cookies don't stand a chance here.

JaneS · July 18, 2023, 09:36:46 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend!

RICK, AMY's right! I do have a ton of cookies. When she gave me the recipe, she didn't tell me it served 100 people! If I lived closer to you, you'd find a jar on your front porch in about 15 minutes! Every cup of coffee has cookies with it!

AMY, good luck with the garage door today!

Cathy is going to the store soon and I chose to give her my list and stay home with Cooper. He spent the night. He sure is lovey!

I'm off to get the list and the money ready for Cathy to pick up. Have a great day...anyone who looks in today!

As it should be.
We need a picture of Cooper.

phyllis · July 18, 2023, 11:52:46 AM

We are cookie monsters here, too.....Or cake...Or candy...Or sweet breads...Or coffee cake. And,since I do very little baking I always order something from the grocery store or from Papa Spuds or David will just happen to be near the Donut Shop. I have a sweet tooth and passed it on to David, I'm afraid.

Hot, humid and smokey here today...again. The heat doesn't go away but the Canadian smoke comes and goes. Depends on the direction of the wind.

Doing just normal household chores today and taking it easy. Made a big pitcher of lemonade this morning. That goes well with all the cookies.

Take care, All.

JaneS · July 18, 2023, 12:23:53 PM

RICK, I'll see what I can do about a picture of Cooper!

Our family reported that the Taylor Swift Concert was enjoyed by all. They said they were very glad they went and had a wonderful time. The time spent together on Saturday was wonderful. Mama is always happy happy when she has her boys together. Our San Francisco Family made it home safe and sound.

AMY, good to read that Kyle got his haircut by dad and not Lawnmower man👍

PHYLLIS, I would love to have a robot vacuum but we have carpet and hubby does not think it will do a good enough job.....HE is the guy that does this job so I guess he can say that. Sounds like you like yours! It has been a pretty TRYING summer for many places....too much rain and much too high temperatures.

Still reeling from the sad news about Shirley. Sure miss her daily posts about what she is cooking.....fixing at the house and how the kitties are doing😩

Time to get some dinner started....

Have a good evening EVERYFRIEND.

I just returned from a building meeting about a senior program called Jumpstart. It's mainly a resource for parttime work, senior university classes and other senior opportunities. It was also about issues such as transportation, cell phones, MedicAlert's and what was available.

The classes interested me as they have a program that offers university classes for seniors by paying their costs without it being deducted by social security. I was also interested in a new type of MedicAlert that you don't have to wear around your neck. It consists of a watch and a cellphone that syncs via a scan code on the back of the watch.

It's similar to mine in that it operates worldwide. If you left it, the cell, in the bedroom and fell, wearing the watch, in the front room, it would pick that up. And you would receive a call.

They also still have two one-bedroom units available in a new state senior housing which sounded nice as it is brand new construction. However, the units each come with a garage, and I don't drive...plus all the moving expenses and drama. The 20th is my delayed eye appointment, and Friday, I have an appointment to discuss transportation and senior housecleaning options.

Suddenly, I' m busy, but I hope to find something suitable.

Hi Jenny,

JaneS · July 18, 2023, 10:03:53 PM

I read it all and tried to absorb it all. You are all so busy! I'm heading for the haystack. Cooper won't be here tomorrow but I have to be up and about because I have an appointment at the Dr. at 9:30.

I'm almost half way through my book and I understand why this author won a Pulitzer Prize for it! It's absorbing. Hard to stop reading...easy to start!

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow. God bless!

Tomereader1 · July 18, 2023, 10:49:19 PM

Well, Jane, you are always telling us how you are enjoying a book, but you rarely, if ever, tell us the title or the Author's name. Come on, girlfriend, you know several of us do like to read.

JaneS · July 19, 2023, 06:53:49 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! It's cooler here this morning. I'm up and attem and I'm going to take my (lonely without Cooper) walk and then get ready for my Dr. appt.

Sorry, TOMEREADER! I guess you name says how interested you are in books. I got this author's name from the most recent AARP Bulletin. And since I need the large print books, I called the library to see if they had any or this author in large print. They had one and it was one his recent Pulitzer prize ones. They offered to hold it 7 days for pickup but Cathy ran in that day and picked it up. His name is Colson Whitehead and the name of the book I'm reading is "The Underground Railroad". I warn you that once you start, it will be hard to stop until you finish!

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