SUBJECT: Soda Shoppe for March 1 , 2023

JaneS · March 26, 2023, 10:15:55 PM

It's time to hit the haystack! My eyes have already entered the "clunk-shut" mode and do not want to look at anything.

I've been watching the news about the explosion at the chocolate factory in Sout Eastern PA. They're still looking for two missing workiers...at least they were the last I heard. I said a prayer for all of them. What a horrible thing to happen!

AMY, sit tight and wait for Mr Melty to show up! You've done enough shoveling!

PATRICIA, I hope your Spring shows up soon. You've had enough of winter blowing around!

Frankie picked up Cooper around 4 p.m and she gave him a bath before they left. This time I didn't think he smelled bad but I always like it when he smells REALLY good! Tomorrow she doesn't work until 11:30 so I'll have a lazy morning.

I had to use up my potatoes today so I mad a pan of scalloped potatoes and a small "2 tater", pan of baked sweet tater wedges. Then I threw in some chicken nuggets to go with them so I had dinner today and I'll have lunch and dinner tomorrow!

Our temp was up to 59º this afternoon and is supposed to be in the 50s and 60s all week! I do believe Spring has sprunk!

Now I'm off to the haystack! I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow. God Bless!

Amy · March 27, 2023, 07:37:21 AM

Good morning..

Starting out at 20° but we are to snuggle up to 50° today. Yesterday didnt turn out the restful day, almost but not quite. Looked in Kyles cookie container and there was only one cookie So I got to work and he now has
er had 11 doz. Oatmeal and ginger snaps now fill four containers for him.

Today, will pick up dog food and work around home. I have started another quilt and I am curios on how it will turn out so will work on that.

Jane, Mr Melty did show up!! He also took the mess the snow plow left at the end of the drive way.......nice man!

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · March 27, 2023, 07:46:53 AM

Good Morning! I was going to just greet myself but AMY, you beat me here! So Good Morning, AMY! I'm so glad to hear that Mr. Melty showed up and you could stay inside and fill up Kyle's cookie jars! One cookie probably wouldn't have lasted him very long!

Today is cleaning day! I had my shoes off for a while yesterday and the floors definitely need to have a visit from Mr. Vac! And some of the need to see Mr. Mop, too!

I'm off to the races! I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow.

P.S. It's supposed to make it to the high 50s today!

RAMMEL · March 27, 2023, 10:16:37 AM

Jane - Just East of you we are just shy of 50° now. I expext it will make 60 later. Sunny and calm out and the "wildlife" is out in force.

patricia19 · March 27, 2023, 02:11:36 PM

Good morning; it's plus 30 for a low, and no storm is happening as yet, but everything and everyone is in standby mode. The snow piles I can see are shrinking and melting into themselves, but what will be is anyone's guess.

Yesterday, late afternoon, my energy ran out, so I retired to my Kindle and finished two spy thrillers before sleeping. Another exciting day.

Tomereader1 · March 27, 2023, 07:35:21 PM

Rammell, went back to the store and got the Peanut Butter & Company PB. I picked the one with White Chocolate.
Oh my word, That jar certainly won't last me a month or two! Krogers didn't the new Ritz chips. Guess I should be glad of that, won't have to spend another $3.49. Speaking of food, my good neighbor came today and brought me 2 slices of pizza (for my lunch, she says) and a whole Rotisserie Chicken to make meals of for the rest of the week! Another friend called me and invited me to go to a movie with her (she's seen it, and says it's wonderful) and thought of me.
So on Thursday, we will be going to the matinee of "The Lost King" What a day, and I have been Blessed. Hope your neighbors are taking such good care of each one of you!

CallieOK · March 27, 2023, 07:46:07 PM

I'm hoping my son will take me to Target on Thursday and I can find the PB with chocolate. 2 of my grandchildren are celiacs and I had found a cookie recipe that takes 1 cup of peanut butter, 1 cup of sugar, 1 egg and a teaspoon of vanilla. Mix well, make balls and bake at 350º for 10 minutes. That's it!
Can't wait to try making it with the chocolate flavored PB.

A neighbor's mail was put in my box today and she invited me in when I took it over to her. We had such a nice visit. Made my day!

RAMMEL · March 27, 2023, 09:51:45 PM

Peanut Butter & Co.
https://ilovepeanutbutter.com/
There's even some recipes there

CallieOK · March 27, 2023, 11:10:02 PM

Those look great but Grands cant have anything with flour and I rarely bake for them any more. So I was thrilled to find the recipe without any.

patricia19 · March 28, 2023, 12:23:02 AM

It's 8:09 pm, and the storm started punctually at 8 pm. First, we had rain; then, the wind arrived, bringing snowflakes. Now it is wind-driven rain and snow.

Since we're not part of the S.E. Alaska (Ketchikan, Alaska holds the record of the most rain in the U.S.); Washington, Oregon trifecta of wet climates and rain, our weather does not go down to the gulf and possibly to California. Our weather follows a lateral path either from Siberia, Alaska's Interior, and onto Canada's Yukon Terrority, or it may start in Canada, go through us, and go on to Siberia.

So, I don't think it will eventually get to Amy, but I suppose it's possible as she's also further north.

Amy · March 28, 2023, 07:00:48 AM

Good morning..

Starting out at 18° and it will race to a high of 40°. A catch up day here will little annoying jobs that need done.

Jane, I think your geese made it up here, last night I let the dogs out side and I could hear them on the lake. What a racket they were making!

Patricia, that is what we had the other day! They are calling for rain here tomorrow.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · March 28, 2023, 08:00:26 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! AMY, the geese are definitely all gone from here. The pond is empty. I'm glad to hear they made it North! We have peepers and chirpers in every bush now. I can even hear them with all the windows closed! I think Spring has arrived and Summer isn't far behind!

I'm going down to my sister's for a little visit beginning on Thursday and coming back home on Tuesday. If I don't post it's just because we're chattering up a storm!

Now I have to go get dressed and take Cooper for a walk. He spent the night with me and he sure is a cuddler!

You all are making me wish I like PB. That was the one thing I had to force myself to eat when I was in Girl Scouts and even when I was a Girl Scout Leader. A leader can't even say she doesn't like a camping staple. She just has to eat it! Now I don't have to.

Guess I better go get dressed and get The Cooper Snoop out for his morning outing. I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

RAMMEL · March 28, 2023, 08:42:10 AM

40° and cloudy here. Very cloudy - its still not light (bright) out. Nothing on the schedule today, but should do some clean up. --- Maybe a little later.

patricia19 · March 28, 2023, 01:38:22 PM

Good morning from a slightly cooler Interior at plus 22, heading for a high of only plus 31. Today will be sunny and cool, while Wednesday and Thursday will return to the plus thirties and forties.

Last night we had rain, wind, and blowing snow off the mountain passes from eight to two or three in the morning. However, only an inch of snow remains, melting into a pool of ice and slush. I spent yesterday decluttering, organizing, and cleaning my computer.

By seven pm, my eyes were so dry and tired that I went to bed and napped until this morning, other than a couple of phone calls. I will return to the job this afternoon, reorganizing the new PSP graphics I downloaded from Bubble.

JaneS · March 28, 2023, 10:10:28 PM

I'm heading for the haystack as soon as I finish up here. I have an early Cooper in the morning! and then a "catch-up" dr. appt. at 1:15 tomorrow. And I have to get my stuff packed for my trip to my sister's. She lives about 60 miles from me and Cathy will be driving me there on Thursday morning!

Today was a beautiful day! The temp reached 60 degrees and stayed there for about 2 hours this afternoon. Right now it's 40 and heading back for a low of 31 in the middle of the night and then back up in the high 50s tomorrow afternoon!
Spring is Sprung!
The Grass is riz!
I wonder where the posies is?

Actually, there are Daffodils all over the place and tulips are poking their heads out of the ground! Spring really has SPRUNG!

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

RAMMEL · March 28, 2023, 10:52:01 PM

Shirley and Lloyd --- missing again?

Shirley · March 28, 2023, 11:17:43 PM

I'm here, just worn out from activities today. Well, hardly call the trips back & forth through the house active but trying to keep the little hose carrying oxygen untangled is quite a feat. Long day & doing just baking & cooking tomorrow will be a treat. Told all the home health people I'm taking the day off to cook & quit thinking about the future surgeries (or not). It's bedtime even tho I got a nap in this afternoon. Hope Lloyd didn't try to get his motorhome on the road. When is your cataract surgery?

Sweet dreams to all and God Bless. My daughter wants me to take a ride around to see all the trees in bloom right now. I don't have either of my Cleveland pear trees anymore so not seeing anything in this neighborhood blooming. Exciting times, huh? Hope to get a couple photos to send Bubble to post if she will.

RAMMEL · March 28, 2023, 11:45:09 PM

Quote from: Shirley on March 28, 2023, 11:17:43 PMWhen is your cataract surgery?

If all goes well, in a couple of weeks. The 13th I believe.
The trees are just budding up here. We need another week or so till some blooms.

Amy · March 29, 2023, 06:12:13 AM

Good morning..

I am taking my friend in for a Dr appointment, we have to be on the road shorlty after 7am. Really need to watch for deer now as they are moving about more now. May do a bit of shopping but will keep an eye on the weather as later on in the day we have rain and snow on the menu!

There are still little annoying jobs left and they will just have to wait for another day. I did squeeze in some sewing yesterday.

Cut up some fat and threw it out for the crowsto enjoy. Once when I looked out I could see the pair of them in the neighbours yard with "something" in their beaks........then it dawned on me. When I was looking after Rex I would gentley pull the loose hair out and leave it on the ground, neighbour called it "plucking my dog". They were using this to put in their nest!

Sat for tea at 10.00 and played Ricks drum music(love drums) and Jesse was by my side. All went well till the fella started to whistle and Jess was cocking his head back and forth looking for him!!

Jane ,our daffys are well under the snow, bit by bit it is going though. Took Kyle to pick up more lumber to build a trug yesterday and it may be the last . He goes at it too hard and pays for it in the evening..

Lloyd has been in ,just hasn't posted.

Patricia, we have a lot more snow that you!!

Better gather all that I need...

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · March 29, 2023, 07:32:22 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! I've been up and attem for awhile now. Cooper has arrived and is waiting for a walk. I need to get my shoes on and take him and then get a few things done before I get my shower and get ready for a eye dr. appt. at 1:15.

I have to get my stuff ready for my visit with my sister. We'll be taking off for thee tomorrow morning and I'm not half ready!

SHIRLEY, enjoy your day off from worries. Cooking will take your mind off them.

AMY, have a safe trip wherever it is you're going!

RICK, your surgery is in my prayers!

Hello, LLOYD. We see you peeking in!

The weather is supposed to hit 56º by mid-afternoon! I can handle that! I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow.

RAMMEL · March 29, 2023, 10:03:36 AM

Quote from: JaneS on March 29, 2023, 07:32:22 AMRICK, your surgery is in my prayers!

thank you Jane. I'm a worrier so will be on edge till it's done.
Bright, sunny, and nice out this morning. Hope it holds.

donklan · March 29, 2023, 12:07:14 PM

RAMMEL:
I'm glad to hear you are going ahead with your cataract removal. If your result is similar to mine, you are going to feel like a thin smear of vaseline was removed. "The trees are just budding up here. We need another week or so till some blooms." Look at those blooms now and again after your cataract correction...See if you notice a difference.

patricia19 · March 29, 2023, 12:57:04 PM

Good morning. Nothing new here; I'm still involved in decluttering my apartment and computer, and I'm finding lots of odd stuff in my files!

I'm having cataract surgery sometime this summer, but I also have a lot of "floaters" that need to go.

Amy, we're told to expect more snow Thursday into Friday; it's all ice out there presently.

Lloyd was looking in last time too.

JaneS · March 29, 2023, 08:41:25 PM

Hello Everyfriend! I'm going to bed early tonight and getting up early tomorrow! I have to pack up my computer to take with me so this is my last entry until I come home from my sister's house next Tuesday.

PATRICIA, you are so diligent! I bet your apartment is the neatest I've ever seen...if I could see it!

I had a good visit with the eye Dr. today! He's going to do another in-office minor surgery on both eyes to help me retain moisture in them. They get so dry all the time that sometimes thy just bother me. He says it will feel better and keep them moist. Let's hope so!

Now I'm off to the haystack. If I decide not to take the computer to my sister's, I won't be back with you until Tuesday. If I take it, I'll see you sometime late tomorrow. I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow. God Bless!

RAMMEL · March 29, 2023, 11:54:22 PM

Goodnight - Mrs Calabash.

Amy · March 30, 2023, 07:01:49 AM

Good morning...

Yesterday was a fun day. After the eye appointment my friend and I hit some shops, including a fabric store. Weather held out until the way home and then we ran into rain and then blowin snow. We made it home here in good time before the "mess" started. She ran into whiteouts on the way to her home! High winds danced about here till it took out the power or about 4 hours.

Today is anyones guess , so many things to do, as next week will be a busy week.

Jane, have fun at your sisters..

Rick, I also liked JD...

Patricia, both my friends are so happy they had the surgery..one used to wear glasses since a child and now only puts a pair on if she wants to read. The other put her glasses on (as always) to work on the computer and it was all fuzzy,.took the glasses off and the screen wasclear as a bell!!

Better get in gear.

Safe travels Janie.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Shirley · March 30, 2023, 11:39:44 PM

Stopping by to say........"Good night, sweet hearts, till we meet again........" Another good day but ain't like the old days, for sure. Hope to get out to water flowers tomorrow and need to check on a dogwood tree that is still in a monster clay pot until I decide where to plant, gotta protect it from this KS wind. I usually water anything outside at least once a month during the winter & it only got water one time for at least 4 or 5 months. Have hoses disconnected for the winter. Been seeing some migrating birds going through to their northern summer homes. The pyracantha down the street is in bloom, mine died a few years ago. Don't remember what birds would come by & clean off all the berries in one day, but think it was the cedar waxwings.

Sweet dreams & God Bless, love y'all. Shirley/Tisie

Amy · March 31, 2023, 07:41:58 AM

Good morning..

Cloudy with a temp of 14°F at the moment. Nothig planned for the day other then bake bread as we are down to half a loaf and I am sure the crows will like that. A few odd jobs to take care of and then sew..I hope.

Shirley, I thought the geese were coming through my bedroom window this morning..noisy flock!Now I have this going through my head.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zSzWULRuO4

Patricia, has all your snow gone? We had the asparagus wrapped in bacon last night along with otherside and I could make a meal of just the asparagus . Bacon was cooked crispy just the way we like it.

Jane, are you back yet? Enjoy your time with your sister.

Better get going.

Enjoy your time and stay safe.

JaneS · March 31, 2023, 08:09:23 AM
