Good late morning again. I'm up later and sleeping later, unfortunately. Last night the rain returned with a bit of a light show. However, today is another grey, dreary day of rain. I'm sure all the growing things are soaking in every bit and drop they can; it all looks green and lush out there!

Jane, it's always nice to hear good medical news at our age. I go in on the 20th for an annual eye exam and hope to hear more about my floaters and cataract removal.

Amy, I'm sorry Babe was so affected by that med, and I hope she's over it by now. We never know how a medication will affect our pets, and sometimes I wish the doctors paid more attention to both them and what we are saying.

Bubble, it is so upsetting to have your home invaded like that and then work afterward to check everything and set it back right. It makes me angry how others feel it's okay to steal instead of working for it themselves!

There is nothing new here; my need for sleep leaves me behind in many chores. I'm not feeling energetic at all lately.

We are home and I do not want to even think of supper!! We ate at a new place to us and mercy me one had better be hungry as the serving is large!! We ended bring a lot home, some to share with the furkids and some for the crows.

Jane, David is closer to you then me at the moment but when I do see him I will tell him that! Happy to read you like your Dr and she also listens!! Something very rare anymore.I am to get a recipe from a friend that can be frozen..it is hamburg in a bun that you make .Take the raw dough and put a spoonfull of hamburg mixture in and fold over and bake. Easy portable meal.


Patricia, Babe is back to herself now. I will admit she sure had me worried but won't /will not/never get those pills again......did I say no?

Time for a cuppa tea..

Bad news - It appears we've lost Shirley.
See  https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/wichita-ks/shirley-stallard-11364277

How very sad!  I had private messaged her early last week, and she filled me in on the present condition of her health.  It did not bode well.  We will all miss her.  The tales about her cats, her visits down to the creek/river and penchant for watching the wildlife there.  As she mentioned, she had a very full life.

Rick, thank you for letting us know...not the news we want but knew sadly it was coming.
Tome, like you I also enjoyed Shirley's posts about her cats, she really spoiled/loved them. Plus I enjoyed her camping trips. One should be so lucky as to enjoy life like Shirley did..

I'm so very sorry to learn about Shirley - although it wasn't unexpected.  She certainly lived Life To The Fullest!!!!

Thank you RICK!  I've been thinking of Shirley for weeks now and I almost got to meet her on my last trip to OKLA. but she turned me off.  I wish now that I hadn't listened to her and made the stop anyway!  She will certainly be missed not only by me but by many, many more people!  She was well loved!  And she will be remembered forever!

R I P dear Shirley...i think you knew and had given us the warning via your last posting that your day was near when you mentioned Hospice, and that was the way you was posting your goodbye to us...I so enjoyed your reminiscence's on your time living in Marlow UK...You are already sadly missed....

I was very sad to hear the news, Rick, and thank you for letting us know. Even though she told us, I somehow didn't believe it.

Good bye Shirley. You were a great person to know and you will be missed by all who met you in life or on line, especially here in S&F. I lit a candle for you, as we do here for relatives and friends. You certainly counted among them. Farewell.

Thanks Rammel for letting us know.

Good morning..

Woke to a gentle much needed rain. Kyle has an appointment this morning and he is going to see if he can get in to get his hair cut.  My day I will take as it comes, small jobs to be done and ironing.

Bubble, thank you for the photos of Shirley.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good bye Shirley - Tisie - "Sis". "We'll Meet Again". Till then we'll all miss you.

I've been in here twice before today but I missed SHIRLEY so much I couldn't think of anything to say.  Still can't!  Hope you all have a good day!

So sad to hear of Shirley's passing...I comment most on medical...but occasionally read her comments...may she RIP....

Shirley was what embodied the old SeniorNet. She will be missed. I always loved hearing about her close family, grandchildren, and many trips to Colorado in her motorhome. She always saw the bright side.

I am just so sad and sorry to read of Our Shirley's passing. Even though we knew it would not be too long before we would read this news.....I think many of us were in denial😩 I certainly was😩 Shirley will be missed not only by her dear blood family but by OUR Soda Shoppe  Family also.  She was a beautiful lady that always made others feel important. Bless you SHIRLEY 🙏  Rest in peace next to your dear husband and life partner Cass.

Bob and I were able to meet Shirley and her oldest Son, Andy in  person at their camp site here in Colorado.  She loved to come to Colorado to camp and paint. She was quite the artist.  My heart aches for ALL of us as she will be sorely missed🙏

Thank you RAMMEL for sharing this sad news.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  All I could think of all day yesterday was our good friend, SHIRLEY!  When I stopped by last night, I sat here for minutes thinking of what to write and I couldn't do it.  I missed her every minute since she left us!  I'm sure she's with God and probably trying to get Him to try one of her recipes!

Today will be a quiet one around here.  Frankie has the day off so I don't have Cooper to distract me! I do have some things hollering to be done around here and (maybe) I'll get around to doing some of them.  And (MAYBE) I won't!  When I'm finished here, I'll be getting dressed and taking my first walk of the day!

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

Good morning..

Foggy morning here. We missed the or rather the tornado missed us and traveled east.

Woke to the sound of crows, they have now brought their "kids" in to the crow buffet and it is fun to watch the babies, as big as the parents beg to be fed.

Will see if  Kyle can get his hair cut today  too many in the shop yesterday and he would rather have the Dad not the son. Garage door acted up when we came home yesterday, so a call was put in and they will come Mon or Tue to replace the motor.

A lot of little jobs waiting to be done today.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

I watched Shirley's Funeral service this morning.  Still feeling such sadness that we will not have her participating here with us any longer.  She always had so much to add to the conversation.  It is interesting that many of our "friends" in this discussion are more important to us than some friend in our life.  I think in many cases we know MORE about the inner personalities of these friends. 

SHIRLEY led a full life and she had a wonderful close family as well as friends.  This is extremely apparent as I watched her service today🙏 My heart is aching for ALL who feel her loss🙏

I just got the news this morning that a good high school friend passed away.  It is always sad to hear, but for whatever reason this news did not even closely affect me like the news about Shirley.  I think many of you will understand this😩

AMY, I do hope Kyle was able to get in with the "dad" today for his haircut‼️ I went back in yesterday for a RE-trim as my lady just did not take enough off last week.  Unfortunately, or maybe not, my lady was not in and another gal did a GREAT job and I liked her technique a LOT. Now, that might cause me an issue IF I would like to go to the new gal now🤷

BUBBLE, I just want you to know I was very sad that you had the break in at your home.  It does make one feel so violated.  Shame on the individual(s) that did this to you. 

JANE, it is always good to get positive news from your doctor after blood work has been done.  Good for you❣️

PATRICIA, I hope you can get scheduled for your cataract removal soon.  I really need to get a good eye doctor as I am really having trouble reading the dash board on the car due to light issues and driving at night. 

Two sons, ladies and two grands are going to see Taylor Swift in concert tonight.  Our San Francisco ones flew in this morning.  We will all get together tomorrow and I am SO EXCITED❣️ Our PGA son and family will just come for dinner as he has a big golf tournament and dinner at his club....

Enjoy the rest of your day and weekend EVERYFRIEND.

Jenny

I'm on my way to the haystack.  This has been a very tiring day and I'm ready!

JENNY, I wish I'd known that I could watch SHIRLEY'S service.  It might have given me closure!

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

Good morning..

More rain this afternoon so outside work this morning and laundry hung out to dry.

Jenny, will try again today for the "dad"...

Jane, emailing you the site ..

Lloyd, good to see you..

Better get a move on here...

Enjoy your day and stay safe

Good Morning Everyfriend!  This is going to be a good day!  Yesterday was such a "funky" day that my morning prayer was, "Please let something good happen so I know that all's well"!  Less that 16 minutes after the prayer, to first good thing happened and there have been 3 more since that!  I guess all's well in my world!!

LLOYD, it's so good to see you back with us!  Keep on stopping by!

AMY, thanks for the email!

Cooper has arrived, had his breakfast and his walk and took care of everything except a quick turn around the yard.  He's asking for that right now!

JACKIE, it's always good to see you stopping by.  I hope all's well in your part of the world!

I'm off to see what I can get into today!  I wish you all a good one...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Jane...
...thank you, i am surviving..unsure how or why..

Good morning, second day of rain here so it's a good day for those pesky chores I 've procrastinated too long about.

Finally Kyle got his hair cut, both the Dad and son were there and Kyle got the Dad....not Lewie the lawnmower.

I noticed one doe was hit on the road,sad to see but part of life. Someone had picked her up so maybe the meat could be used???

Patricia, send some energy this way please.

Jane, enjoyed our talk and thank you I had forgotten about the rescue remedy . I only used it for storms but will try it next time for "the pedicure" on Babe.

Locally, several organizations will salvage animal kills along roadways and deliver the meat to various charities who then distribute the meat to their various clients.

It is illegal for anyone to take it upon themselves to salvage the meat without being registered for clients.

Patricia, here if you go through the proper channles you can take the meat, or donate it to those that need it. I agree with not letting the meat go to waste.

We are getting a nice gentle rain...saves me from watering the garden.
