Amy, glad to see your post today, and I like your friend!

I think Shirley's friend would get along famously with yours!

Nothing new here. Claire just left to spend the day and night with Alan and Dora at the fair campgrounds.

JaneS · July 30, 2022, 03:00:58 PM

I think everyone I've met on this forum and on other preceding forums have had more to offer than one can imagine! You have all done well with your lives and you all continue to do well. If we just keep putting our best foot forward and planning ahead we'll leave behind the best of memories!

I lost a long-time friend this week. She was the first person y age that I met when I moved to Lewisburg a month before my 10th birthday. And I can't help thinking that the best part of that friendship wad the next generation. My middle daughter and her only daughter have been best friends for most of their lives, too. So life does go on!

Cindy and I are going over to Ali's to babysit tonight while Dan and Ali have a night out. It's been a long time since they've done this so they deserve it!

And tomorrow, Ali and I are canning again! It's been put off and now we HAVE to do it before I head for home next Saturday!

I hope you are all having a better day than yesterday! Keep on keeping on! I love and respect every one of you!

Time to slow down. Baking done and some delivered . Someone messed up the kitchen but it is now clean...for now:))

Jane, what a great teacher you are for Ali, talk about getting the best learning from you.

Patricia, my friend and I hit the quilt shows, within reason. I was lucky enough to go to a quilt retreat with her, where all we did was sew ,eat and sleep

patricia19 · July 30, 2022, 06:46:59 PM

That sounds wonderful Amy! I've been lucky enough to go to some quilt guild showings in Alaskaland's Pioneer Park. Some of the freestyle ones were very inventive and were all so unique and colorful.

Amy · July 31, 2022, 07:09:56 AM

Happy Birthday Patricia!!! Hope you have a special day today.

Amy · July 31, 2022, 07:16:54 AM

Good morning..

A welcomed day of rest here..may get a chance to get fabric cut out for another quilt today.

No sign of rain until Tue (maybe) so I watered the gardens last night. This had been a funny year for the garden, some potatoes blossumed while others didn't. Threw a small potato in the compost bin and it grew and flowered!!Parsnips have an 18 inch top on them and I hope it doesn't mean all top no bottom:(

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

JaneS · July 31, 2022, 09:29:58 AM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PATRICIA! AND MAY YOU CELEBRATE MANY MORE HAPPY ONES!

JaneS · July 31, 2022, 09:39:04 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! We woke up to another rainy day! Oklahoma really NEEDS the rain! It's been so dry and so hot here for the past month that you can still hear the ground swallowing and saying "Thank You!"!!!

I'm just biding my time this morning until Emma is ready to go school shopping with Cindy and Ali and I can do the canning. Gonna be a busy day for all of us. Dan will be responsible for keeping Mikey out of our hair while we can. And with the rain, he won't be able to do that outside! He'll be a busy guy!

AMY, I envy you the quilts you make! I know, first hand that they're beautiful because of the one I got when I had my cancer surgery. And also from the pictures you've posted!

Cindy just came down from her shower and dressing time so we're moving on! I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Patricia

patricia19 · July 31, 2022, 10:54:36 AM

Thank you both for the birthday wishes! I'm enjoying the day so far; it's raining outside, but it's warmer, and we hit 76 yesterday and will be back in the seventies next week. Generally, August is a rainy but cool-down month, but these past years have shown that nothing is guaranteed weatherwise.

Jane, I agree with you about the quilts. I could see that firsthand in Kentucky with some prized quilts held by families from the pre-revolution days. My then mother-in-law told me about girls her age carrying on the tradition of passing on old bridal quilts as part of their heritage.

We also have that program here through the local guild. They provide quilts for those suffering from severe illness or recovery and to go home with babies from the various hospitals.

Amy, the photos I've seen of yours are lovely, and I hope you keep a picture of each one. There was a man in this building sadly lost to Covid, who knitted and gave away most of his work to those in need.

Callie, we posted together, or almost. Thank you for the birthday wishes!

Tomereader1 · July 31, 2022, 02:26:15 PM

Happy Birthday, Patricia!

(I envy you the 70 degree weather! It's edging close to 100 on my front porch, which is now in the shade.)

JaneS · July 31, 2022, 04:05:24 PM

Emma has everything she needs for school in two weeks and Ali has 5 pints of salsa from a recipe that she doubled. She said "the next time I do it, I'll have to quadruple the recipe!" I guess that means she's hooked on the canning stuff. She seemed to like doing it and I forgot to take a picture of it. Darn!

Now I'm going back to my knitting! I hope you are all having a good day. Keep it up!

JaneS · July 31, 2022, 09:48:33 PM

I'm off to the haystack and I don't know when I'll be able to check in tomorrow because Cindy's cleaning crew comes early and my computer will be going to bed until after they leave. We had a good rest of the day and I for one and ready sleep pretty soon. I think I'll go up and get ready for bed and read until I can't keep my eyes open any more.

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one...especially Gloria who needs Him and my friend Gracie who has gone to be with Him!

Shirley · July 31, 2022, 11:06:40 PM

I've been in & out so many times the last 2 days but each time I get a long message typed and it vanishes. Got to get back to using WordPad again. Anyway, I remembered somebody had a happy birthday and somebody else had a "happy" but couldn't rememember who had what. Before I could back-track to figure out the phone would ring & for whatever reason, I'd lose the post & forget what I was doing. My head is scrambled this week.

Happy 55th Anniversary to Bob & Jenny.... Not an easy time to be happy with making the arrangements for your father so just know lots of us out here that love ya and thinking of you.

And a very Happy Birthday to you, Patricia! If I remember (and more often don't remember anything right)... you are one of the younger members of this family, right? Hope it's been a good day for you.

Jane, I'm thoroughly enjoying your trip to teach the kids how to can! So sorry I didn't get there to visit with you & Callie. I feel like I've lost 2 years and now another couple of weeks or more with this super heat.

Callie, do hope life shapes up for your family, a little bit of bad news goes a long way especially when it seems the whole world is a mess right now (weather AND news)

I've blown another day and didn't get anything done I wanted.... back to heat and the 10 days ahead sure doesn't look good to me. Bring on fall OR even winter!

Hugs for all and God Bless.

Thanks, Shirley; I did have a nice one and even had a friend attempt to bake me a cake with all known allergins taken out. It was quite an experiment, somewhat dense, but it was a nice gift for me in the attempt.

Now that I've passed seventy in the rearview, I can no longer lay claim even slightly to late or upper middle age. P. Roe called me a junior-senior back, in the beginning, you might remember. She also took issue with my screen name, saying I had a perfectly good name. She was a character.
