Forget about the coffee pot, and any reference to it.  I certainly don't want to make any one sick

Well, this very boring day is over!  I've taken care of Cooper and loved him up many times.  I washed the bed pillows and put them outside in the sun to finish drying. I also washed all the bathroom rugs and the kitchen rugs.  I swept all the floors and made some soup.  Now if that doesn't constitute a boring day, I sure don't know what does!

SHIRLEY, that kitty sure does make thing move around your house.  And I think it's wonderful how you gave them your time and space over all these years.  I wonder what their lives would have been like without you around!  Every cat in Cat Heaven probably knows your name!

Frankie has arrived safely in Mexico and sent me picture of her and my grandson (her brother) to prove it!  I do love it when my kids families get together.  I also got a picture today of my daughter, Cathy and her family on their last day on a Florida beach.  Granddaughter and Grand SIL will return to Texas tomorrow and Grandson and Bride-to-be will return to Philadelphia; daughter Cathy and husband will be back here tomorrow night! 

LLOYD, best wishes to your Granddaughter and her groom-to-be.  I bet you'll enjoy the wedding!

Now I'm heading for the haystack!  My eyes have been on "close control" for a while now and no naps came by to grab me today.  I'm tired and ready to sleep.  Cooper has already gone to bed.  He knows when it's time.  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow.  And may God bless us, every one!

P.S.  Rick, I don't remember your reference to the coffee pot, but I can't forget about a coffee pot.  I'm addicted!

Lloyd was visiting the sites again;

I do not reamber rezining so why do i need to re regester?

Lloyd

well the grilmans done it again got my post befor i got it posted. so I gusse I will just put this Laptop to bed and go either fiend a good moovie to sleep through or just goto bed, see you all tomorow.

Lloyd

Good evening‼️ I can not believe how long it has been since I have posted.  It isn't because I do not think of you all everyday.  I just do not seem to have that much to say, but I sure enjoy what you all have to say🥰

Last weekend we drove to Cortez Colorado to my 56th class reunion.  It was a beautiful 7 hour drive.  Seeing old friends is always a treat.  We chatted for 3 full days and we STILL had things to say🤪

As we drove through the Buena Vista / Salida area, I sure thought about you, SHIRLEY. It was beautiful going through the San Louise Valley.  My heart was mighty full of joy getting back to the community that was so very precious to my family when I was growing up.

We visited Telluride....what a disappointment it was to see what has happened to that wonderful little community.  The traffic was awful and I could hardly recognize much of anything in the town.  They call this progress? 

Today we enjoyed going to a Octoberfest in the community where Dr. Dave lives.  We go every year and it is always enjoyable. Not quite as much fun when one can not have a good German Bier to drink, but the Keto diet we are on frowns on drinking something that is like eating two sandwiches 🤪🤪🤪

Next weekend we are going to Chicago to one of our daughter-in-laws fathers memorial.  My bucket list has always been to get to Michigan, one state of four in the continental US that we have not been.  I have wanted to go to Mackinaw Island every since seeing the movie SOMEWHERE IN TIME.  My dream is coming true.  My only regret is that Norm and his sister are no longer living, so can not see them😩😩

I hope EVERYFRIEND is doing well. 

Jenny

Good morning..

Looks like we may get the rain today. Liquid sunshine is always welcomed this time of year, helps the wells ,rivers and creeks.

Geese are moving..one flock going by now with crow cawling in the back ground.

A day of rest here....hope to finish putting on a binding then hand sew the
 back of it.

Jane, I bet you could write many books on your times as a Guide leader and still have stories to tell.

Jenny good to see you , you have beens busy in your travels.

Patricia, our trees are starting to dress in their fall colours. Love seeing the different shades but know what comes next.

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

Good Morning Everyfriend!  WELL!  That's more like it!  A special good morning to LLOYD, AMY, JENNY and PATRICIA.  Have a great day!

I'm off to take Cooper for a walk and then get myself ready for church.  My daughter (who usually drops me off) is on her way home from Florida today so my son will be taking her place this morning.  I've had my breakfast and Cooper had his.

Right now, it's 58º and a bit misty out there but it's supposed to hit a high of 84 later today.  Around here, that's a typical fall day.

AMY, I've heard the geese.  They have a stopping place on a pond a short distance from my house and they fly back and forth between that and the river as a stopping place on the way South.  So they are on the way!

JENNY, it sounds like you've been a busy lady and it's not over yet!  What fun to visit with classmates and see familiar places.  We have a small group of classmates (anywhere from 8 to 12) who try to get together for brunch once a month.  It's always a special day! And once in a while someone shows up who is back home for a visit!

I better get into moving mode or I won't be ready when Philip comes to pick me up!  I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow....and definitely NOT Boring!

well here I am @ 10;25 AM sunday the 18th. it is over cast and73º weather guesser is saying cloudy. Nancy went to church and left me in bed asleep. I was wide awake still at 4;00 am. my laptop decide to reset its self at10 AM so i had to weight on it to get in to S&F this morning. It was aying cleaning it self up. well it is done and I am here with a splitting hed ace. so i am going in to the easy chaire and try to get some more sleep. Have a good day everyone.

and JaneS I do not think you are boring, I am glad to have you here as a friend.

Lloyd

Good morning from the Interior at a cloudy 40 degrees and rain, This is normal September weather, and we should see another temperature drop and leaf drop before the end of the month. October should be cool, crisp, and colorful as we await the first snow nominally by Halloween.

Western Alaska's plains are under a disaster alert as the Bering and Chukchi seas are amid turbulent storms made much worse by climate change. However, no injuries have been reported as the state was aware of the coming storm. The indigenous Inupiat have lived on the coastal plains for thousands of years, bought in offshore fishing boats, and prepared as much as possible.

I seem to have started something with everyone reassuring Jane that she's not boring. That wasn't said or inferred. Other folks have different discussions that may not fit everyone, which is why there are two, not one, main discussion groups, three if you count Bosum Buddies, all with different interests and discussion topics.

I haven't heard or seen any of the geese, ducks, or loons this summer as I haven't been to the wildlife sanctuary or anywhere this year. Since the trees in the back were cut down and disposed of, I haven't seen or heard any of the smaller birds either. Oddly, I've only seen two raven pairs this fall at a time when the young males should be in small groups and instigating trouble with the mated pairs.

There have yet to be any major flocks gathering in the skies and generating a racket as everyone puts in their two cents about where they should go, how fast, and in what order. There have been no wildlife sightings for me all year.

A good Sunday HELLO to EVERYFRIEND‼️

Octoberfest was fun yesterday, inspite of the fact they were already out of the Octoberfest Bier that I was hoping to have a few sips of‼️🤪. We arrived just 40 minutes after it started.  At least I did not have to cheat on my diet🤪🤪🤪. The normal Austrian "oompah" band was not there and everyone was disappointed‼️ There was a band there but they were not playing any German Music nor anything I would enjoy. 😩🥲 oh well, I will look forward to next year‼️

AMY, I knew about Kyle's expierence with his Holter monitor, but PHYLLIS, I did not know about yours.  Wow, a month is a LONG time to deal with one.  Ihad one on the week of my Dads Memorial Service.  That thing itched so bad that I was extremely grateful when the day came to pull it off.  BAD NEWS is, I mailed it in the box provided as it was on a weekend and the clinic was not open.  Turns out, that was a big mistake.  Thankfully I kept all records and pictures of where it was mailed....to Phoenix AZ.  GOT confirmation it was delivered there......3 weeks later after me asking and asking about the results.....the finally got word the place did receive it but it had no data on it.  Logically speaking....one would think they would have reported that to my doctor....instead there was NO response from them until mt clinic contacted them with my info ....then they said it was blank.  I think they lost it myself‼️  Now I have to do it all again😡😡 G R U M B L E 😩😩😩😩😩

We are going to Dr. Dave's to watch our Broncos and have dinne4 together.  I sous vide'd a tri-tip roast and he is supplying the rest of the veggies.  Always enjoy seeing the family.

I wish you all a good rest of your day.

Jenny 🏈🏈🏈 GO BRONCOS

Aw, Patricia, I think that probably makes you as sad as I would be (Not getting to watch the wildlife/birds). I don't go down to the river as often anymore and this "summer of sun" reminds me of the summer of 1954. THAT summer was as miserable as possible & don't think the record has ever broken.  I worked at Base Supply at what is now called Whiteman Air Force Base, a SAC base... nearest BIG city was KC but close small town is Warrensburg, MO. (Right around the corner from Lloyd & Nancy). It was 118 degrees in that concrete block building (no trees near an air force base), and NO AC. I had my first heat stroke that summer but not at the base. Right now it is butting the 100° mark, depending on which weather guesser you look at! NOT my kind of nice day.

Good to see you, Jenny.  My boys went to the Salida/Buena Vista area early June & had a ball & last week Andy & wife went to the time-share in Breckenridge & this week Pete took his girlfriend to run the Pikes Peak Marathon.

So far I've skipped lunch, my tummy is complaining, for sure. I honestly could not think of a thing that sounded good. Maybe a nap will help. Hope every Friend has had a nice week end.

Oh, NO, Jenny! Sorry about the blank monitor! What is it that causes everything to do with electronics to mess up this year. 

I don't know, SHIRLEY, but I'm ah thinking it is indeed GREMLINS‼️‼️

My DVR is set to catch every bit of the coverage of the Queens Final Farewell🦋  Back in the day we had to be up to catch anything like this.  Thankful we can now watch at a better time for us. 

Pleasant dreams to all.

Jenny

      Coffee Pot

      Gotcha, Rick!

Sweet dreams & God Bless Everyone!

Good Morning Everyfriend!  This will probably be short because I'm sure Cooper is ready for a walk and I'm not dressed yet.  We're supposed to have cloudy weather this morning and then rain this afternoon and evening.  Cathy and Craig are arriving home from Florida today.  I hope the rain doesn't interfere with their trip or slow them up.

PATRICIA, I was just kidding about being boring.  I really hope I'm not!  It was supposed to be a funny reason for everyone leaving this forum!  I didn't mean to upset anyone!

I have no idea what's on the forum for today.  Maybe a bit of laundry and that IS boring to me!  It's not something that I enjoy but it's always there!

JENNY, next time, let the dr. take that "whatchamacallit" off and read it him/herself!  It sounds like that other place doesn't know what to do!

I guess I better go get dressed and ready to walk.  I wish you all a good day...beetter than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Post that was misplaced by Lloyd.

Today at 06:55:52 AM

Lloyd

Good morning..

We had a dandy storm during the night..everyone was awake!! Gave both dogs  some Rescue Remedy and aftr a bit they settled down. Along with the remedy they had hugs and sweet talk too.

Working in the kitchen today......just hope we don't lose power when canning.

I did manage to get the binding sewn on one side of the quilt yesterday and now hand sew it to the back.

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

Good Monitor --- Blank screen --- Loose or dirty cable/plug. 
First step - Remove and then reseat.

I am actually still alive and still have enough brain left to use the computer but some days the body is just not willing to do anything so that is why I don't get here as often as I used to.  But, I still think I am part of the group and try to read most days and am always interested in what all of you have to say.

I am slower than molasses now in my older years so don't always accomplish as much in a day as I used to.  I have learned that most things will wait until "tomorrow" to get done....or even longer.  At least, I can still do some things and also, still have enough memory left to remember to do them. 

It's still summer here but at least the leaves are beginning to change color so the calendar says Autumn even though the temperature disagrees.

Take care, All.

GOOD MORNING.


I have watched in full the coverage of Queen Elizabeth's final farewell this morning.  One can not help but feel emotional 😭  I feel blessed that I have been lucky enough to to have been in England two times in my lifetime.  Having stood on a corner and have the Queen pass by within a couple of feet of me; looking into her beautiful blue eyes as she passed. Having my mother-in-law being a British citizen has certainly encouraged my interest in always keeping up with the British Monarchy.  King Charles III was born on Bob's Birthday and Charles and Diana married on our wedding anniversary date.   I have seen that CROWN in person....how cool is that?   Just my personal thoughts for the moment🦋

Thinking about EVERYONE across the world who are able to share in the momentous occasion.  My wish is that it makes us all stop and realize how precious life is and help us all to do our best to make our lives as special as they can be. 

I love to quote what Queen Elizabeth said to the American people on 911.  "Grief is the price we pay for love"

Jenny

When I type here, in this reply, does it put it in the right place?

Lloyd, --- Yes. it's in the right place.

I'm heading for the haystack a bit early tonight.  I'm tired right down to my shoestrings (and I'm not even wearing shoes!.   Cooper went to bed already and if things are as usual, he's in there warming up my side of the bed.

Frankie turned 30 today and Daniel will be 40 the day after tomorrow.  They are celebrating together in Daniel's home in Mexico!  They sent me a picture today and I bet I'll get another one on Wednesday. If you don't know, these are two of my grandchildren.

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!

Good morning everyone.well I went to bed earer than uasual for me, slept pretty good,and the reply button was up at the top where it it supposed this morning so this post should be in the right place this moning have a great day,

Lloyd

Good morning..

Muggy out ,no sign of rain but who knows?

Working with the rest of the beets today, pickling some and just eating others. Need to label the 25 jars of potatoes and put them away.

Off to start the day..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  We're up, had breakfast and took a walk this morning.  It was down into the high 50s overnight and is heading for a sunshiny high of 80º today.  We had a lot of rain overnight and everything is very grateful for that!

I have to get ready for two appointments at the Dr. office today.  They are both for tests in the clinic and should be pretty quick in-and-outs and over with.  Cathy is home from her vacation and missing her kids but glad to be home. 

I don't know what else might take place today.  Whatever it is, I'm ready.  I hope you all have a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow.

I think I hear an echo in here...in here...in here...in here!

HELLO to EVERYFRIEND  🦋🦋

I enjoyed watching Queen Elizabeths final farewell.  it was a wonderful tribute to a first class lady.....every bit of it.  I heard often that she had corrugated the whole thing.....what a wonderful job she did.  I sat down and watched the entire program. 

I just came from seeing my dietician and my pulmonology cardiologist and they BOTH were just blown away by my loss of 14# on the keto diet  that I have been on for a month tomorrow.  My blood glucose levels are in the non dietetic range now, and they will take me off of the last drug in another month.  They STILL can not find the reason for my need for oxygen other than the high altitude here in Colorado.  I am wearing another Holter Heart Monitor as the last one I wore for a week supposedly had no information on it. 😩😩 I am feeling pretty happy about all of this.

Will be anxious to hear what all you did today, JANE. 

AMY, you have been and continue to busy, busy, busy with all of your canning.  What a lady!

I hope you all are doing well today.

Jenny

Hello...hello ...helloooooooo Janie!!

Beets are history....done, done and done.I was going to do carrots tomorrow but they can wait...a wee frost will help them and the parsnips. I threw the beet tops to the hens and they cleaned them right up, unlike the swiss chard where they leave the stems!!

Jenny...     way to go on the weight loss!!!

Patricia,  I watched geese go over head, listening to the wind in their wings. Will post a photo of what my friend sent if I can.
