I have been as busy as the bees on my azalea bushes but hope it will slow down for a bit now. 

Taxes are done and I have been notified that both Federal and State have been accepted.
Bank business has been dealt with and reconciled.  Other personal business has been dealt with but still waiting to receive my new car registration.  NC DMV is always slow.  Also, fixed a problem with my new Online prescription pharmacy and straightened that out.  Anything else coming in will have to wait until tomorrow.

Supposed to be sunny and nearly 90 deg. today.....crazy spring weather.

Take care, All

The brainstorm for the day is that I can get your e-mails from under each name AND that I will have to change that tisieos one from mine. Had full day of home health & totally wiped out tonight so going to bed right now. Sweet dreams and God Bless, love y'all...

Just stopping by to say..Night Night Everyfriend!  I'm heading for the haystack.  Tomorrow when I'm out of the haystack and rarin' to go I have to get my recycling ready to go.  The recycling center is open the 2nd and 4th Saturday from 8 to noon and Cathy is coming by to get me and the junk sometime in the morning. 

It was pretty nice today.  The rain came when we didn't want to go out anyway and when we were ready to go it was dry.  It cooperated.  And it was up in the low 50s most of the day!  My kind of day!

PHYLLIS, it sounds like you have lots of bloomers in your yard.  I'm looking forward to that!  And right now I'm looking forward to my bed pillow.  I wish Everyfriend a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow!  God Bless!

Looks like everybody had a busy day today. I guess that's good.  I'm prepping for a cataract job and got some done today. On the way home I had to stop at my favorite Italian Bakery and load up with goodies. But this was all more than I'm  accustomed too and am ready for a good nite's rest.

Goodnight to all.

Good morning..
Looks like we may be  in for messy weather with high winds to accompnay it.

Laundry day  and may get some baking done ..may.

Phyllis, we got the  notice to go in and sign the papers on our taxes and they will send them off electronically.Wait 5-7 days and money in the bank.

Rick, my friend just had one eye done.second to come later. She went to work on her computer, put her glasses on as she always does and everything was fuzzy!! Took the glasses off and could see so much better,bright colours and sharp! I have only heard good about this operation.

Best try and get a move on.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  It's raining here and our plan was to take the recycling to the center this morning.  I'm thinking that's still going to be possible because all those bins are covered with just an opening to throw in your stuff. 

RICK, I'm one of those who had the cataracts removed and I'd be blind if I hadn't.  Good luck with your removal!  It's worth the time and energy!

I'm not making Easter candy this year so I got the Oklahoma kids Marshmallow Peeps.  Do you all know that they originated in Pennsylvania?  I think it's a good candy for me to substitute for my own...which also originated in Pennsylvania!

I'm all ready for my daughter when she shows up.  I hope she doesn't mind a quick trip to the UPS place so I can get the Peeps "flying"!

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

P.S. AMY, I wonder if it's raining the whole way from your place to mine!

Jane, no rain here as of yet but do know we are in for it. Need to take away the garbage and recycling here also so will make a quick trip in and home. I just hope the eagles are there!!

Guess you are really lucky to find Peeps at all.  There is such a shortage around here.  Most places where you most always bought them, either don't have any or just the yellow chicken ones.  I did see a better variety when I shopped in Albertson's/Tom Thumb.  They had all kinds and colors!  Speaking of this shopping trip, I rarely go there as it's a little bit further from home than my Kroger store.  However, TT had some digital coupon specials that called my name (lol).  While wandering the vast aisles, there was a lovely lady offering tasty samples of Ritz Toasted Chips.  She mentioned the brand new flavor, "Everything", which she said is like an everything bagel.  So I tasted one sample, and went back for another.  Then I bought a bag of them.  Went home and nearly decimated the bag.  The "Everything" is Onion, Poppy Seeds, Garlic and Sea Salt.  Eat one chip and you're absolutely hooked.  The bag says "great for dipping" but wouldn't you know I didn't have any dip, or makings for it, on hand.  Will have to go to the store and get me some Spinach Artichoke dip.  Wow, I may have to buy another bag of these things when I go back to the store. Just an FYI, they now have the Everything Bagel seasoning in bottles/jars so you can inundate your bagel yourself, that is, if you like seasoned bagels. 

BTW, did you hear about the explosion at the chocolate factory there in Pennsylvania?

Thanks for the good, and encouraging, words about cataract surgery. I've heard nothing but good. My son had it done years ago and he's happy as can be with it. At this time I only need the left done. It will be nice to be able to read my bank statements once again.

Our weather here seems to be similar to Jane's. I guess we are not that far away. Can't wait for those April flowers.

Tome - Your first post about "Ritz Chips" has my mouth watering.  Will have to look for them.

Good morning, everyone everywhere, as my favorite Positano Youtuber says. Not much is happening here besides the regular domestic duties; thanks Callie, for another great expression.

Hokey teddybear it is a white out there!!Well, they did say it was coming and it sure did!! We are snug as a bug in here, wood ahead so we don't have to make any trips to th woodshed.

Didn't get to see any eagles this time.

Tome, will look for those they sound good even without the dip!!

Good Mid afternoon everyone.  RAMMEL My grand deaughter came over and showed me how to get here to the poast place. hope I can reamber how to do it again. the sun is shinning very bright and 44º here today.  RAMMEL do not hit me again I promice I will try to do better. Have a good rest of the day.

Lloyd

 RAMMEL thanks for the link. it works good.

I guse we need to go down there and take the video cramera and take a mooving picture and post it here in senior and friends. see you all later.

Lloyd

         Yayyy Lloyd, you made it!!! You can always go back to Ricks link and work your way here again.

Weather has changed from can't to sort of see in the snow to freezing rain and now back to I think I can see through the snow. Wait 5 min and it will change again.

I have to say, with the recent southern weather, there are lots of advantages to living where I am.

Yesterday the temp was around 80 degrees. Had to turn on ceiling fan, and locate a pair of shorts. Later in the evening it started dropping.  Don't know what this mornings temp was, but I had to scrounge in the dark for my sweatsuit bottoms.  It's around 60 now, with lots of sunshine.

Just stuck my head out to check things. It is miserable out there. About 38°, raining, and a bit of wind.  Fed some critters and got back in.

Tome - Those Ritz Everything Chips - In a bag, box, or what?  Are they like potato chips?  I'll have my son pick some up when he goes out.

Rammel, they're in a bag.  Says Ritz at the top, then down a bit, says "Toasted Chips" then down near the bottom, in a blue rectangle, it'll tell you what flavor they are, i.e. "Everything"  Hope this makes it easier for your son to find.

Also, you mentioned him getting some kind of Peanut Butter.  My Kroger just posted a coupon for .50 off "Peanut Butter & Company".  Is this the one he gets for you? 

P.S.  They look more like a cracker than a chip.

I don't recall mentioning Peanut Butter, but my brain doesn't recall lots of things lately. But I probably did because that is the one he gets and I like. The label says it has white chocolate in it. Love it (and almost any peanut butter).

Good description of the Ritz - thanks.

Ah, peanut butter!  I like it on toasted bagels, toaster waffles, toasted English Muffins (with jelly or preserves).  And the plain ole PB&J.
Sometimes just a spoonful!

Tome and Rammel,  the grocery store I use has Ritz Toasted Chips in these flavors:  Veggie, Sour Cream/Onion, Cheddar, BBQ, Salt & Vinegar and Cream Cheese/Onion/Potato/Wheat.  Didn't see any labeled "Everything" but will try at least one of these!

    Re: Peanut Butter...  when I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic I consulted a Diabetic Dietician who put me on what I call a "managed carbohydrate food plan" (not a diet).    My count kept dropping too low in the mornings so she said I needed more protein for breakfast and suggested peanut butter on my toast. Yummy!
Have never heard of any with white chocolate but, if I can find it, I'll bet I can work it into the carb count!!!! 
EDIT:  I did find it but at Target - not the grocery store.  They also have that brand with Dark Chocolate.   And it only has 11 Carbs in a serving!  I can manage that!
 

Hello Everyfriend!  Well!  These postings weren't for me!  Since my facial surgery, I can't eat all those great crunchy snacks...not even potato Chips whick have been my love and my downfall most of my life!  And I never did really like peanut butter in anything but a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup!

I lucked out tonight!  I inherited an overnight bedfellow!  Frankie went out with her friend tonight and it would have involved driving 15 miles home in the dark with liquor in her system so she's playing it smart and spending the night with her friend and get Cooper! 

And we're ready to hit the haystack early tonight.  I think he already went and I'm following pretty soon.  So I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow.  God Bless!

I've spent an hour searching the frig, freezer, cabinets for protein to eat before going to bed and y'all have the solution right here... pb&j..........sounds good, quick & will go with one last pill for the day. My thanks!

Hugs to all, God Bless and hope weather gets better for everyone. When Andy & Pam were here we went out to the motorhome & I can't think about parting with it. I want someone to tell me they will love it as much as I have,    then I won't hate to see it go so bad.

Off to bed early, get up at least by 5:00am to have a piece of toast & take the blood pressure pill so I can wait for an hour to take my vitals that go to Alabama to be analyzed & reported back to my doctors & home health nurses. I'm glad to have all this help but wears an old body down.

Rick, my cataract surgery was scheduled to have a shot that let me stay awake but when I could feel the little knife & told to doc I wasn't sure I could sit still enough, she said, "you can feel that?" and I replied, "I can feel that". My daughter was in the room at that point & anesthesiologist brought in to which my daughter told him in her best boss attitude, "don't give her a third what you give NORMAL people.... he did & she told me later she pointed out I was already snoring. The 2nd eye they just knocked me out. If they had told me what the medicine was (drivative of novacaine) I could have told them that novacaine never worked on me. My son also has had his done, totally different type surgery. Just about everyone I've ever talked to had no problems, good luck with yours.  Oh, those toasted Ritz are SO good, even the plain ones. Have not seen the "all" kind...

Oh, Jane, I didn't realize your surgery was "so invasive" I guess you'd call it. It seems we get chipped at & lose parts the older we get. Know we must be satisfied with what we do have & not whine (like I do) about the changes.

The "Everything" Ritz is a "brand new flavor", per the lady giving out samples, and samples were going so well, I went to the shelf she pointed me to, and there were only a very few "Everythings" left.  I know I shoulda bought two! FYI, they had NONE of the B-B-Q flavor. 

Good Morning!  I have to get my coffee down and go get dressed and take Cooper for a walk and then get ready for church.  Gonna be a busy morning!

SHIRLEY, the surgery wasn't "invasive".  It's just in a very small place and what they did makes it hard to eat crunchy stuff.  And it also left me with no back teeth on the bottom.  I'm so happy for the good part that I'm willing to put up with the uncomfortable part!

It's supposed to be sunny and up in the high 50s by noon today!  I'll take that!

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

Good mornng.

Windy all night long and it is still blowing out there. A day of rest to enjoy here..altho I am not sure if a dance is needed or the snow just stay until Mr Sun makes and appearance...hope Sun takes on the task. 

Slept in so I had better put it in high gear and boogie!

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning; I've moved on to more decluttering, including on the computer. Not much else is happening here, although the weather is gearing up for one last blast, "From 6:00 AM (AKDT), March 26, until 6:45 AM (AKDT), March 27
Description
...Windy With Blowing Snow Over Summits Tonight Into Tuesday...

...Chance of Freezing Rain Tonight And Monday...

A weather front approaching from the west tonight will bring snow and blowing snow to the Summits of the Steese and Elliott Highways tonight through Tuesday. Summits could get up to 4 inches of snow. Summits could have west winds of 20 to 30 mph. There will be a chance of freezing rain tonight and Monday along the Steese, Elliot, Richardson and Parks Highways, and in Fairbanks as well. Any freezing rain that falls is expected to be less than one tenth of an inch, but could make roads very slippery Snow is expected to move south into Fairbanks and Denali on Monday and continue into Tuesday. Up to 4 inches of snow is possible in Fairbanks from Monday into Tuesday."

Patricia, our snow is a leave right....leave right there and the sun will disperse  of it. Some areas to the south have power outages but we are fine here. I was watching the news and saw the devastation done by the tornado in Mississippi and my heart goes out to them. I also watch the chocolate factory in PA blow up and again I hope they can account for everyone.
