G☼☼d M☼rning Early Birds ! There are so many of you on here this morning, I'm not going to name you one by one. Here's a {{{{{{Group}}}}}} instead ! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
MARGY, did I miss something ? What did the annoying people upstairs have to say about the bowling infractions ?
HODA, glad the long talk with your sister was soothing. Much better than relying on what the mainstream media decides to report.
LINDA, so glad Dennis is doing better ! Your nerves should now begin to settle down. I say go for some comfort food---for me that would be mac n' cheese or ice cream ! Prayers being sent up for both of you !
JUDIE, thanks for sending Mr. Sandman by last night ! He's a really good guy !
JUDYE, Bon Voyage` ! Hope you have smooth sailing in that newly serviced truck ! I'll look forward to hearing the nest area gals talk about your visit !
It's raining, it's pouring, in Columbus. The roofers completed their work on my building at 2pm yesterday and the rain began about 2am this morning. Whew !!!!
LORI, a few days ago you asked if granddaughter Lauren would be coming home from China for Grandma Judy's memorial service. I said I didn't think it financially feasible, but I was wrong. She will join the family in Lincoln, NE for the November 5th services. I'm so happy for her---just wishing it were physically possible for me to be there, too. Not !
Diann, happy late 47th anniversary to you and Jim!!! Congrats!!! Oh, definitely a sip of spirits was called for!
Margy---oops, my bad! Never heard of such a thing as boiling bath water. I'll have to ask Mits if Montgomery Co. issued that warning when they had the huge main break a couple of years ago! A mighty impossible task!!
ARGH!!! I got up too late to eat. Completely forgot that no food four hours before CT...tummy is not going to be happy in an hour or two! Two days in a row :(
I understand, Shirley. Getting a kid ready for school can be hectic. I home school my kids - LOL! No kids, just 5 cats, 3 foster kittens and 2 bulldogs.
Kay, you're an early bird today, aren't you??!!! SO glad the roofing is done--just in time! We had a shower or two last night, and some sprinkles, but nothing significant yet. Gloomy for sure. 55°. And the LEAVES are falling much too fast. :(
We have to keep the dogs out of the cat food and the cat out of the dog food.
George has a very delicate digestive system and is on prescription cat food, but he really wants to eat dog food.
One time he got into an unopened bag of dog food when I was not home and ended up in the kitty cat hospital. He will intimidate the dogs and take their food, or he will eat their leftovers. He will even fish little pieces of dog food out of the water dish.
Gotta' get ready for an appt. with my banker. Just need to move some money around--had an appt. for the Friday I wound up in the hospital and just now getting back around to it. I hate dealing with these kinds of details !
Bye Kay, Lynn and Thelma. It was so wonderful, spectacular, exciting to have you all here this morning!
Shirley, Poor you and poor George. He sounds like he's obsessed with dog food! Funny though. Freddy likes to lick the plastic bags you get at the grocery store. He's like an addict with them. Remember a friend's cat who liked to lick pictures. So, at least George likes something edible. :)
The doctor came in and said he wants to keep him at least another day. His cardiac enzymes are still high and since he had a pretty major event Monday, they would like to keep monitoring him.
He explained what they think happened, how it happened and mentioned that it was a little puzzling why it happened because he was otherwise pretty healthy.
Right now he is having a echocardiogram, which I am sure will give them more information on how he is doing.
He desperately wants to come home, but I know it's better he is there under the care of the pros!
I have had a constant headache since Monday (guess why?), and just can't get rid of it. Ugh! I would imagine when Dennis is home and we are settled, the headache will subside!
Rain is expected here today and I can't leave Riley alone in any rain as he will scratch walls (through the drywall) to try to escape. I am afraid he will pull his teeth out if I crate him. He is getting worse. So I will keep him with me today. I'll go to work for a while and do what is crucial and then come back and figure out what to do next!
Maybe if there is a break in the weather I can go to the hospital. I'd just rather be there sitting with him. Weird, huh?
Wishing all of you a terrific day! It's Wednesday.............half way through the M-F work week!!
Hi Linda good to see you my friend. So glad Dennis is doing so well. That is an answer to PRAYERS. I can understand you needing to be with Riley. Maybe the rain will ease up and you can go be with Dennis for a little while. HUGS and LOVE YOU and Dennis both. (((((((HUGS))))))) I continue to keep you both on my prayer list.
Would you believe I am still researching fencing companies? My neighbor had this one, but this is what one online review had to say--and this was the more complementary review:
"They were fast and had a nice product. As a bonus, if you call for a repair service, they may respond with a deluge of profanity, cursing you, your family, your politics, and toss in various other non-sequiturs. It was quite entertaining. They may be able to contain your pets, but they sure can't contain their emotions. the guy just probably needed a hug. Good luck."
Interesting . . . I am kind of afraid to call them.
Shirley Don't get the white vinyl fencing. It is really pretty. Problems when you weedeat around the fence. The grass stains the white vinyl and you have to scrub the fencing or power wash it down. You probably should be looking for a fence that does down into the ground. So the dogs can't get under it!!
Good morning! What a fantastic day! Beautiful day here and rain at home. Was not expecting that. Will certainly be interesting to see the rain gauge when we get home!! Wahooooooo!
Today we are driving to Pagosa Springs. That is where we are going next month for Thanksgiving. Going to check the local deli about a Thanksgiving meal. We shall see!! LOL
LINDA......the reports continue to sound good. Glad the doctor is keeping him another day although I understand the desire to have him home.
My wonderful jubby has been doing a load of laundry this morning while I did my morning getting beautiful and blogging. He is the best!
Now I need to leave and eat breakfast. One last day of fun and then two long days of driving home. ugh! Oh, well....!
Have a great day! Like that,Kay...group (((HUG)))!!!
Shirley...we saw the funniest sight...sad, but funny looking. In west Texas we saw where there had been a fire and the white plastic fence had melted! Really strange looking and they had it around acreage.
Thank you for the prayer wishes for my family in Egypt. I too pray for peace every where in the world.
Good morning one and all.
LINDA do take care of the headache and I am so glad that Dennis had a talk with his doctor and that they will keep him for another day.
Thinking of MARGY and the doctor's appointment, and water advisory is a good thing with the water main busted...
DANAMO I am worried that you are not feeling well because you thought you took your medication twice...was that insulin???Don't you need to go to the hospital for that?
Linda, don't be alarmed about the cardiac enzymes. They often don't peak until 48-72 hrs. after the event. They'll be coming down soon.
Shirley, if you let George get up om furniture, put his food up high where dogs can't get it. And dog dishes should be taken up if the dog hasn't finished his food in 10 minutes. Dog food is very dangerous for cats. And cat food, while not harmful, has basically no nutritional value for dogs.
Linda, poor Riley. Did you get a thunder shirt yet? Please do...well worth a try. PetSmart stocks them now. Even if there is no thunder, it might help if he gets upset just at rain. Poor dog. :( And poor you with the headache. Sure hope it eases soon.
Did I miss something? Does anyone have news of PAULA? She has not been on for over a day now??? I hope all is well.I need to check back to see when was the last time she was on...
That would be quite a sight, Lolly. A melted fence.
Lynn, we usually put George's dish on the washer. He isn't supposed to be on the other counters, etc., but we allow him on the washer.
Problem is that he sometimes upchucks there, and it was a mess, so I tried putting him on the floor because he is pretty intimidating to the dogs, but they got to hovering because they wanted to lick his dish when George finished, and so I went back to the washer.
The dogs were used to having food in their dish at all times, but when they came here, that had to change.
We try tempting them to eat faster by mixing a little canned food with the dry food, but we still sometimes end up with leftovers, and still have to remove the dish. Flash is one of those dogs who likes to scatter food everywhere and it all has to be cleaned up quickly.
Animal feeding just requires supervision around here.
The last entry I see from PAULA is Sunday at 11:08 PM. Is this not unusual? LYNN would you be able to phone her just to know that all is OK at her roost? I ask you because I think you are close to where she lives, you met up to go get NICK...
Strategic planning AND supervision, Shirley!!! Dogs are not typical grazers.....they tend to be wolfers! My sister keeps a gate across the laundry room and that is where the cats eat. Dogs can't get in, but the cats can. She has 4 cats inside and 2 dogs. Also has 4 outdoor cats. UGH! Even when I relented and let the kids have a cat, it was only ONE!! I hate going to her house!
Hoda, I'm not close to Paula.....Jo and Lori are. Paula traveled up here and then we went further into WV to get Nick! But, yes, I'll give her a holler!
I was looking for Paula's business phone BUT since the store changed hands I cannot find # in phone book. I have a home and a cell, but I think that she will get Lynn or Sharon's voice mail. I am going to pray she will be on line shortly.
Wow....BFF in CA's son just posted this about his 6th grader: 6th grade science camp on Catalina Island for three days this weekend. LUCKY kids! Asked if he is going with them, and to watch for EAGLES!!!!
Lucky kid, I'll say. Bet he will see some of the foxes on the island too.
I just received from a granddaughter a beautiful bouquet! Stunning fall colors and quite a variety of flowers. Makes me feel loved..... :) also brings a tear.
My mistake LYNN. Thank you for phoning and leaving a message LYNN and SHARON.
I am off to Yoga nad to do some errands. made an appointment to have the tires changed on the car and for an oil change. They could not fit me in before the 24th!!! He said it was a HUGE rush there for snow tires change...Just as well as next week I have to go to the dentist and the optometrist and I have my writing group, so I was thinking it is a bit too busy. My conditioning class starts next week also.Gracious me The Canadian Federation of University Women meet next week also!!!Better focua on today and see what I can get done...BBL
Completely forgot to say Happy Columbus Day on this REAL one. Oct 12, 1492 was the day that the watcher on the Pinta actually spotted Land in the Americas.
Oct. 12--Columbus Day--It is also my brother Jim's birthday.
Didn't take my cell phone with me, so I missed the call from the doctor's office, but they left a voice mail and my pathology report did not show any serious problems, thank goodness. But I have to have another colonscopy next year. Yuck.
I got a text from Paula too, that she was on the blog Monday evening. She is all good and loves us! I told her that some of us were gun shy after losing Deb.
Not fun to wait for the results of medical tests, Lynn. I will be thinking about you.
Still raining here. I would say that I am glad Hunter has a jacket in his bookbag, since he said he did. But that does not mean he will bother to put it on if it is indeed there.
I have watched him hop off the bus and happily walk home in the pouring rain while carrying the jacket in the bag. He is, after all, a boy.
Here to report on the CAT Scan of October 4th. Still waiting for the specialists office to respond, but my primary physician just called. She says there was, on that date, fluid aka infection scattered about the right kidney. However, it is greatly reduced and she believes it's well on the way toward complete healing. Told me to continue with the antibiotic and see Dr. G. as scheduled on the 26th. So, I consider it good news. Big sigh of relief ! Thanks to all of you concerned Momster's and I will, of course, keep you posted.
SHARON, thanks for tracking PAULA down--good to know she's fine---guess she's just been busy. We sure get spoiled when people who are daily posters skip a day or so !
Great to hear your report, Kay! Continue what you are doing...sounds like each day is a little better.
We are back early to day. We drove to Pagosa Springs to check out the Saint Andrew Lodge, our house for Thanksgiving. It is out of town and in the woods. Hear that there is a bear. LOL Peeked in the garage and saw a large grill. That was one of our questions...we grill a lot, even in winter. Anyway, it looks like a great place! Checked out the grocery store in town. It is new, large and very nice...great deli. Checked out the bars to see if they will be open for the guys to watch football. LOL I have decided to go ahead and cook a turkey and make dressing. That is easy enough. We will buy pies, rolls, etc. Anyway, it looks like a great place to spend a week...just beautiful!!! Family fun with no TV nor computers. LOL
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MEMA JO!!! Hope it's a wonderful, special day for you!
And...HAPPY 24TH BIRTHDAY TO JAY, our granddaughter! We love you, kiddo!
Happy 47th Anniversary, Diann & Jim! Wishing you many, many more!
Praying for even more improvement for Dennis, and prayers for Linda, too.
Been praying today for Margy's Dr. appt. Hope the finger is an easy fix! Waiting for a good report.
Asking for prayers, please, for our son-in-law Marq's dad, Don. We just found out that he is in the hospital since last week, because of a brain bleed. The doctors have him in a drug-induced coma while they decide what to do next. (Nobody wanted to ruin our vacation by telling us last week! Wish they had!) All prayers are much appreciated.
Well, gotta run. Kubby is on the way home from work, and I still have a LOT of transcription to do! They sent at least 2 weeks worth, and I need to send it back by Friday. Yikes! Will check back in later.
That is news to me, Shirley and I am glad you didn't feel anything.
Kay - I think that is very encouraging news - I think you can feel yourself getting better cause we Momsters can tell you are by being here as an Early Bird chatting with us!!!
Just finished dinner with gs & Alexis We are now waiting as my grown children should be arriving with the b-day cake!
Well I am back Yoga was very good with a lot of young people who are Teacher Trainees and full of life and enthusiasm.It felt crowded in there and yet I was able to focus and stay with my own practice on the mat...there are 18 Teacher Trainees who will be here for a month.
I got my flu shot and they were friendly and rather efficient about it all. I had not been to this clinic before and it is in a very convenient location.
I have not read back so will do so after I post this, I hope everyone had a great morning and afternoon...I have French Canadian Peas soup on again today...Love it yum yum yum!!!
At the clinic they are so grateful for the volunteers that they also had tea and coffee with cookies in case we had to wait!!! It is a free injection, on my Health Insurance Card because I volunteer...Life is Good.
It is also my American Mom's Birthday today. She would have been 92 years old...she crossed in 1996 from cancer. She was a kind and gracious lady and oh such a GREAT cook...she loved music and she taught Greek Mythology.
Hope to get a good report on Dennis this evening from Linda! And prayers that you headache goes away, and that Riley is hanging in there with the rain, poor guy. Bet he misses his Daddy, too.
Good reports from Shirley and Kay on their doctor things, also....sounds cautious but optimistic for Dennis... and hoping for good results for Lynn also !
Daggone those headaches, Linda !!! You can share, I'll take 'em from you !!!
Yes, Lynne, thanks for that reminder to pray for Andrea's son-in-law Marq's dad....hope that the bleed corrects itself without a whole lot of major intervention... Prayer, that is the BEST intervention
finger problem is most likely tendonitis, or like trigger finger, NOT that I have shot any guns lately! Had it before on left hand ring finger, not nearly so bothersome as right hand index finger! Have a prescription getting filled for a topical analgesic, like a gel motrin...and a referral to an orthopedist for that AND the foot problem, in November. THANKS for all the well wishes and prayers for the ailment I can type, but writing is really difficult, and so are a lot of other things...but it is minor compared to some of what is going on here...
I did NOT confront upstairs tenants last night about the noise...just waiting for a more opportune time ... I just didn't have the energy for it last night it won't be long though
Well, Margy, trigger finger is different from tendonitis! If you bend it and then can''t straighten it, and it snaps when you force it, that's trigger finger! I had it with a ring finger, too----right hand, I think! Can't even see the scar from the surgery anymore! And a word to the wise, if you don't mind.....DON'T let an ortho operate on your foot!!! Go to Dr. Mollica if it's a surgical issue----did we think a Morton's neuroma?? Mits said that their boil water advisory after that huge River Rd. main break didn't mention boiling bath water!!! Guess Martinsburg has cruddier water or ground??? LOL!
The bowling ball giving you fits, Margy? Do say something to them. They may not even realize the noise they are conflicting on you...unless you say something. If they do not correct it...then you have a serious problem.
and thanks Lolly, good advice, and I WILL address it....the upstairs thing .. When "mom" is not home, as she is not in the evenings because she works, "dad" is not much in control...qutie obviously
I'll take Lynn's helping of the Canadian Pea Soup, Hoda ☺
Lynn - I quit being lazy and googled trigger finger..most of the characteristics fit what I have... Thanks for your wise counsel ! cute graphics on Google by the way Art Clokey's 90th B-day...Gumby creator
ha ha I had tennis elbow once too, and I never play tennis
Hoda, I will share in your soup. I do think that Lynn is our resident "pickie eater". Maybe that is why she keeps her figure. I eat and enjoy way too much!
Just put a potato in our oven and have two steaks rubbed with a marinade. Jack is going to grill them. Rubbed them with garlic, rosemary, s & P, and olive oil. Yummy! Did I ever tell you about the time we snitched rosemary from the monks in Italy? Yep, I confess. we pinched rosemary from the monks!
We brought fresh rosemary with us. However, the rv park we are at has a herb garden and a sign that says "Help Yourself". I think that is really cool!!
We have enjoyed the afternoon being lazy. We have been on the go so much! I straightened the car, packed things away and we are set to go...early in the morn!
Re: tennis elbow.....did you know that it's only "tennis" elbow when the pain is on the outside---lateral epicondylitis. If it's on the inside---medial epicondylitis----is is "golfer's elbow"......so now you all know more about that ailment. And the tennis elbow braces/bands ONLY work for lateral pain!!
GREAT supper you are having LOLLY and JACK. I like the help yourself of the herb garden. Drive safely as you head out tomorrow. Only two fires in TEXAS one is three acres and unkown how much it is contained and the other is four acres and it is a hundred percent contained. Both were new today.One near Lufkin and Kisatchie National Forest and the other is near McKinney.
Susan had a lot of trouble with her thumb. As I recall, she was diagnosed with trigger thumb. She went to a hand specialist and had surgery. I haven't heard her complain since, so it must have worked.
Did th emonks run the grocery store? you said you tokk herbs from the monks and then you said from the grocery store...Hmmmm???Ten Hail Mary's each with two glasses of wine!!! {No Offence intended anyone just being light hearted)
LYNN, I have enough antibiotic, Ceftin 500 mg., 2 a day, to last til' the 29th. Plus there is one refill if called in before the 28th. Had no idea one could be on a.b.'s as long as that implies. What do you know about them ? Oh, I know some folks are on prophylactic antibiotics for years and wonder if that is what's ahead for me.
HODA, you are never going to have to share pea soup with me. The Exorcist comes to mind. ☺ Is is Canadian Pea Soup because the peas are grown there, or because it is pea soup with a Canadian twist. Maybe it's tastier than USA pea soup !?
MARGY, hope you find relief soon and glad they aren't making assumptions, but sending you to a specialist or two.
JO, can't wait to hear about the cake ! I remember 72 as a very good year !
Almost time for Criminal Minds. Liesl is already prancing for sofa time again! 1/2 hr. of Jeopardy wasn't enough for her!! But she's also been to the playpen once, so guess she's wearing down for the day!! BBL!
wow, Shirley...Susan's trigger thumb... surgery...recovery.... Amazing when you realize how important one single digit can be! ttfn xo couple of phone calls to make
nope, got 'em both locked, Jo... Thanks. tried to call City PD, rang several times...guess I'll find out...later How was the cake ???? And what kind ??
LOLLY, you n' Jack seem all sweet, like sugar n' spice. Now we know you have ♥'s as black as pepper. Stealin' Rosemary from monks ! You could have been charged with a salt and still be doing thyme rather than cummin home. Some sage advice, don't get caraway like that again, if you know what I mint. Er, if you know what I mean, that is.
B-day party was great - Lynn you will be happy knowing that Kristen made me the peanut butter cake with peanut butter icing from your recipe. Soooooo good! There were other finger goodies and apples slices with caramel dip, Trail Mix & cider. There were 3 of the 5 children here with 6 of the grandkids and 6 great grandkids. Houseful of loving fun!
Lolly, Its OK then since you only pinched a little bit!!!! LOL!!!
YES JO what kind of a cake did you get?
Pea soup is delicious and very nutricious. The French Canadians use ham for stock and with basil and onion and celery it is yummy. I make a vegeterian pea soup however...The first time I tried it I also tried a tortièrre and it was heavenly. They make the best meat pie ever...
About ready to head upstairs. I have bowling practice tomorrow.
Margy, I promise I have not been throwing bowling balls above your apartment. I don't even bring a ball home yet. Still have not decided what weight I want. But I know It will not weigh 25 pounds!
It's been a long day for me--time to head for bed. Will be saying a prayer for ANDY's sil, LINDA's dubby and all with aching digets n' joints. Saying thanks for birthdays well celebrated, gorgeous sights seen and that beautiful moon up above !
WOO HOO the other butterfly emerged! 2 of the other chrysalis don't look too good. 2 more DO look good and 2 are questionable. But with some warm temps and no rain tomorrow too early, I think these first two beauties will be heading to Mexico~I've told them to head to Lolly and Jack's Oasis on the way!
Just got back from Angies I bought NORTON to download my sub expires in 3 days PIA I had to take it back would not download I tried several hours and gave up I had to exchange it so I am asking Carl to come over while I am gone to download it I hope he will You have 14 days to install and right now I am frustrated with it and don't want to mess with it I went online also to norton help NO HELP it is a virtual person not a real person and I couldn't get them to understand my problem so I just took it back it has to be defective I have down loaded in past and no issue this wouldn't even come up with the box to enter the key card or to accept their terms PIA I skimmed the blog while I was playing with norton before I went to Angies I see Mema Jo has not heard from STEVE You all have my cell phone number you can text me the answer if you want to when you get it I will be waiting all week you all know that on pins and needles hoping he lets us in Ok I still have 125 comments to read I read the ones from JO that is how I know Ok I will try to check in in a bit still
It sounds like a full day JUDYE. Sorry about the computer problems. Exciting that you start your journey tomorrow and you will be missed on the blog...I hope JO hears from STEVE so you can get to see NCTC and the Sycamour Palace and with any good fortune Belle and Truder.
I see we are talking about fences See Dennis has to stay another day I see a alert was almost sent out for Paula KAY so glad you are getting stronger each day and glad you got some results back LINDA sounds odd but massage your big toe I believe in reflexology and where your toe bends massage it deeply couldn't hurt your toe is your head and neck
Still doing some reading I am so excited about going on this vacation and finally getting to put faces with names I can't wait for the week to fly by Oh by the way I put video on YouTube of june and terrys river view from their porch
LOL Kay!!! You are one sharp cookie! Read it to Jack...he laughed. He is also trying to think of a come back, but he is watching the Rangers play ball and do not think his brain is up to it tonight. I know mine isn't!
Paula it just sounds like bowling balls being dropped and rolled around sometimes there are two kids up there, throw in a little screaming... well...that's what it's like. I promise to stop talking about it, until I take care of it sensibly and sensitively; I don't think it's meanness or overt rudeness, but as someone kind on here mentioned, Lolly I think...they probably can't realize how noisy it is down here
Oh, Kay, you are so good with the puns!!! Love it!!! Ceftin is a good a/b----hope you aren't going to have to take it for too long, tho'. If it works, you don't want to become immune to it's benefits!
There's PAULA!!!! Glad you made it in the door!
Margy.....duh! I had scanner of outlet earlier when I was downstairs. Plugged it back in and apparently it didn't start scanning! Didn't even realize it! Back on now....not hearing anything significant at the moment.
boy is the blog odd tonight after I make a comment everyone avatars aren't there then they show up I wonder if it has anything to do with me upsetting Norton LOL I am just to frustrated to try to download the disc I texted Angie and haven't heard back if Carl will do for me I'm sure he will ok back to reading I am catching up

MARGY, did I miss something ? What did the annoying people upstairs have to say about the bowling infractions ?
HODA, glad the long talk with your sister was soothing. Much better than relying on what the mainstream media decides to report.
LINDA, so glad Dennis is doing better ! Your nerves should now begin to settle down. I say go for some comfort food---for me that would be mac n' cheese or ice cream ! Prayers being sent up for both of you !
JUDIE, thanks for sending Mr. Sandman by last night ! He's a really good guy !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,

Love You!!! Hope your special day is as special as you are!!
Bakatcha Linda.
It's raining, it's pouring, in Columbus. The roofers completed their work on my building at 2pm yesterday and the rain began about 2am this morning. Whew !!!!
Heard rain coming down hard here in the middle of the night, too, Kay.
Thanks, Thelma! :)
I think I need to find the coffee!
LORI, a few days ago you asked if granddaughter Lauren would be coming home from China for Grandma Judy's memorial service. I said I didn't think it financially feasible, but I was wrong. She will join the family in Lincoln, NE for the November 5th services. I'm so happy for her---just wishing it were physically possible for me to be there, too. Not !
SHIRLEY, cute avatar ! Put yellow flowers with anything and I'm gonna love it !
More importantly, there is rain in Texas!
Weather at Lolly and Jack's House
LOLLY, SHIRLEY is the bearer of good tidings ! You may not be in TX to enjoy the moisture, but I'm sure your grass n' plants are loving it !
Morning all!!
Diann, happy late 47th anniversary to you and Jim!!! Congrats!!! Oh, definitely a sip of spirits was called for!
Margy---oops, my bad! Never heard of such a thing as boiling bath water. I'll have to ask Mits if Montgomery Co. issued that warning when they had the huge main break a couple of years ago! A mighty impossible task!!
ARGH!!! I got up too late to eat. Completely forgot that no food four hours before CT...tummy is not going to be happy in an hour or two! Two days in a row :(
Hellloooooooo EVERYONE!
There's so many here this morning I'm in disbelief! But, I love it!
Can ya'll be here every morning this early?
((((Big GROUP Hug)))
Oh my, Lynn! What time is the CT scan?
Hi, Lori! I am usually up by 6:30, but sometimes things are happening around here.
I understand, Shirley. Getting a kid ready for school can be hectic. I home school my kids - LOL! No kids, just 5 cats, 3 foster kittens and 2 bulldogs.
Kay, you're an early bird today, aren't you??!!! SO glad the roofing is done--just in time!
We had a shower or two last night, and some sprinkles, but nothing significant yet. Gloomy for sure. 55°. And the LEAVES are falling much too fast. :(
Well, there are two dogs and two cats here. They contribute to many of the happenings.
Shirley, sorry you had more mess to clean up. Ugh!
CT is at 10.....leave here about 9:20.
Hi Lori. Good morning Linda, Kay, Stronghunter, and Hedgie.
˜"*°•♥•°*"˜ ˜"*°•♥•°*"˜
♫♪♫♪HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JO♫♪♫♪
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
What a gloomy day...59°, sprinkles and only going up to 61°.
Not a good day for Costume shopping:(
We have to keep the dogs out of the cat food and the cat out of the dog food.
George has a very delicate digestive system and is on prescription cat food, but he really wants to eat dog food.
One time he got into an unopened bag of dog food when I was not home and ended up in the kitty cat hospital. He will intimidate the dogs and take their food, or he will eat their leftovers. He will even fish little pieces of dog food out of the water dish.
We spend a lot of time guarding dog food.
LYNN, good luck on the scan !
Gotta' get ready for an appt. with my banker. Just need to move some money around--had an appt. for the Friday I wound up in the hospital and just now getting back around to it. I hate dealing with these kinds of details !
BBL
I'll catch you all later.
Okay, gang, gonna shut 'er down. Need to let Liesl out and then put her in her crate and then I'll be outta here. Later, gators!
Bye, Thelma.
Bye, Lynn. I hope it goes well.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR SWEET, WONDERFUL, AND SPECIAL LADY MEMA JO
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUU ( :
Bye, Kay. So glad that you are well enough to take care of the banking today.
Bye Kay, Lynn and Thelma. It was so wonderful, spectacular, exciting to have you all here this morning!
Shirley, Poor you and poor George. He sounds like he's obsessed with dog food! Funny though. Freddy likes to lick the plastic bags you get at the grocery store. He's like an addict with them. Remember a friend's cat who liked to lick pictures. So, at least George likes something edible. :)
Before I sign off to get things cleaned up here and head home, let me say again:
H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y, J O !
Hedgie-Lynn/e I know you have already left for your CT Scan. Sending prayers they find out what is causing your pain. HUGS
Just spoke to Dennis.
The doctor came in and said he wants to keep him at least another day. His cardiac enzymes are still high and since he had a pretty major event Monday, they would like to keep monitoring him.
He explained what they think happened, how it happened and mentioned that it was a little puzzling why it happened because he was otherwise pretty healthy.
Right now he is having a echocardiogram, which I am sure will give them more information on how he is doing.
He desperately wants to come home, but I know it's better he is there under the care of the pros!
I have had a constant headache since Monday (guess why?), and just can't get rid of it. Ugh! I would imagine when Dennis is home and we are settled, the headache will subside!
Rain is expected here today and I can't leave Riley alone in any rain as he will scratch walls (through the drywall) to try to escape. I am afraid he will pull his teeth out if I crate him. He is getting worse. So I will keep him with me today. I'll go to work for a while and do what is crucial and then come back and figure out what to do next!
Maybe if there is a break in the weather I can go to the hospital. I'd just rather be there sitting with him. Weird, huh?
Wishing all of you a terrific day! It's Wednesday.............half way through the M-F work week!!
xoxo ♥
Hi Linda good to see you my friend. So glad Dennis is doing so well. That is an answer to PRAYERS. I can understand you needing to be with Riley. Maybe the rain will ease up and you can go be with Dennis for a little while. HUGS and LOVE YOU and Dennis both. (((((((HUGS)))))))
I continue to keep you both on my prayer list.
Kay I am so happy the roof got done in time for the rain.
Margy your doctors appt for your finger is today.
Praying the doctor can tell you what is going on and can help.
Hoda I have added to my prayer list for your family in Egypt to be kept "SAFE". Glad you got to talk with them.
Diann one day late Happy 47th ANNIVERSARY to you and Jim. I see a family reunion coming up on the 22nd. That should be a lot of fun and laughter.
Some of you are so artistic on this blog. DanaMo I see your dog. Lori puts up neat things. Then there is JudyE with her fun
design for Happy Birthday.
I see one of the white baby potted owlets. It is so cute.
Would you believe I am still researching fencing companies? My neighbor had this one, but this is what one online review had to say--and this was the more complementary review:
"They were fast and had a nice product. As a bonus, if you call for a repair service, they may respond with a deluge of profanity, cursing you, your family, your politics, and toss in various other non-sequiturs. It was quite entertaining. They may be able to contain your pets, but they sure can't contain their emotions. the guy just probably needed a hug. Good luck."
Interesting . . . I am kind of afraid to call them.
Shirley Don't get the white vinyl fencing. It is really pretty. Problems when you weedeat around the fence. The grass stains the white vinyl and you have to scrub the fencing or power wash it down. You probably should be looking for a fence that does down into the ground. So the dogs can't get under it!!
Have an appointment for tomorrow with a fence guy.
Thanks for the advice, DanaWV. I will remember what you said.
♪♪♪HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR JO
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU..AND MANY MORE!♪♪♪
LOVE YOU, JO!♥ WISHING YOU THE HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS AND A FANTASTIC YEAR AHEAD!!!!☺☺☺♥♥♥
Good morning! What a fantastic day! Beautiful day here and rain at home. Was not expecting that. Will certainly be interesting to see the rain gauge when we get home!! Wahooooooo!
Today we are driving to Pagosa Springs. That is where we are going next month for Thanksgiving. Going to check the local deli about a Thanksgiving meal. We shall see!! LOL
LINDA......the reports continue to sound good. Glad the doctor is keeping him another day although I understand the desire to have him home.
My wonderful jubby has been doing a load of laundry this morning while I did my morning getting beautiful and blogging. He is the best!
Now I need to leave and eat breakfast. One last day of fun and then two long days of driving home. ugh! Oh, well....!
Have a great day! Like that,Kay...group (((HUG)))!!!
Shirley...we saw the funniest sight...sad, but funny looking. In west Texas we saw where there had been a fire and the white plastic fence had melted! Really strange looking and they had it around acreage.
Good morning and what a special day it
is with alllllllllll the b-day wishes.
72 isn't so bad when you have friends like I do on this blog!
Thank you one and all
Thank you for the prayer wishes for my family in Egypt. I too pray for peace every where in the world.
Good morning one and all.
LINDA do take care of the headache and I am so glad that Dennis had a talk with his doctor and that they will keep him for another day.
Thinking of MARGY and the doctor's appointment, and water advisory is a good thing with the water main busted...
DANAMO I am worried that you are not feeling well because you thought you took your medication twice...was that insulin???Don't you need to go to the hospital for that?
I'm home, had a bite to eat, and now reading papers! It is raining!
I, too, am also having to click on publish comment TWICE now. Stoopid blogger cop.
Linda, don't be alarmed about the cardiac enzymes. They often don't peak until 48-72 hrs. after the event. They'll be coming down soon.
Shirley, if you let George get up om furniture, put his food up high where dogs can't get it. And dog dishes should be taken up if the dog hasn't finished his food in 10 minutes. Dog food is very dangerous for cats. And cat food, while not harmful, has basically no nutritional value for dogs.
Linda, poor Riley. Did you get a thunder shirt yet? Please do...well worth a try. PetSmart stocks them now. Even if there is no thunder, it might help if he gets upset just at rain. Poor dog. :(
And poor you with the headache. Sure hope it eases soon.
Did I miss something? Does anyone have news of PAULA? She has not been on for over a day now??? I hope all is well.I need to check back to see when was the last time she was on...
That would be quite a sight, Lolly. A melted fence.
Lynn, we usually put George's dish on the washer. He isn't supposed to be on the other counters, etc., but we allow him on the washer.
Problem is that he sometimes upchucks there, and it was a mess, so I tried putting him on the floor because he is pretty intimidating to the dogs, but they got to hovering because they wanted to lick his dish when George finished, and so I went back to the washer.
The dogs were used to having food in their dish at all times, but when they came here, that had to change.
We try tempting them to eat faster by mixing a little canned food with the dry food, but we still sometimes end up with leftovers, and still have to remove the dish. Flash is one of those dogs who likes to scatter food everywhere and it all has to be cleaned up quickly.
Animal feeding just requires supervision around here.
BBL.
The last entry I see from PAULA is Sunday at 11:08 PM. Is this not unusual? LYNN would you be able to phone her just to know that all is OK at her roost? I ask you because I think you are close to where she lives, you met up to go get NICK...
Strategic planning AND supervision, Shirley!!! Dogs are not typical grazers.....they tend to be wolfers! My sister keeps a gate across the laundry room and that is where the cats eat. Dogs can't get in, but the cats can. She has 4 cats inside and 2 dogs. Also has 4 outdoor cats. UGH! Even when I relented and let the kids have a cat, it was only ONE!! I hate going to her house!
The last entry from PAULA on FB is Sunday at 2:51 PM...I am going to put her in my prayers and hope we hear from her soon.
Hoda, I just called Paula and left a message. Hopefully we will hear from her soon!
Did you call her business or private number, Sharon?
BTW JudyE I call and left message
for Steve to answer my email. Will be in touch whenever I hear (Hopefully today before you leave tomorrow
Hoda, I'm not close to Paula.....Jo and Lori are. Paula traveled up here and then we went further into WV to get Nick! But, yes, I'll give her a holler!
No answer----but I don't know if it was home phone or cell phone! Left her a message!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Good Morning to you.
Hope everyone is OK.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
They're saying it going to top 90° today, but so far it's pretty cool inside, even though the W. Channel says it's 75 and I have the window open.
I'm going to shut it and turn on the A/C very soon though "before" it gets too hot.
C(°?°)3 Jim
I was looking for Paula's business phone BUT since the store changed hands I cannot find # in phone book. I have a home and a cell, but I think that she will get Lynn or Sharon's voice mail.
I am going to pray she will be on line
shortly.
Wow....BFF in CA's son just posted this about his 6th grader: 6th grade science camp on Catalina Island for three days this weekend. LUCKY kids! Asked if he is going with them, and to watch for EAGLES!!!!
Lucky kid, I'll say. Bet he will see some of the foxes on the island too.
I just received from a granddaughter a
beautiful bouquet! Stunning fall colors and quite a variety of flowers. Makes me
feel loved..... :) also brings a tear.
Hi, Jim! Sure wish it was 90 here!!!! If it hits that and it's too much for you, send it here, please!!!
My mistake LYNN. Thank you for phoning and leaving a message LYNN and SHARON.
I am off to Yoga nad to do some errands. made an appointment to have the tires changed on the car and for an oil change. They could not fit me in before the 24th!!! He said it was a HUGE rush there for snow tires change...Just as well as next week I have to go to the dentist and the optometrist and I have my writing group, so I was thinking it is a bit too busy. My conditioning class starts next week also.Gracious me The Canadian Federation of University Women meet next week also!!!Better focua on today and see what I can get done...BBL
THANKS AGAIN LYNN AND SHARON.
To start with I had better FOCUS on today not focua!!! LOL
Completely forgot to say Happy Columbus Day on this REAL one. Oct 12, 1492 was the day that the watcher on the Pinta actually spotted Land in the Americas.
Oct. 12--Columbus Day--It is also my brother Jim's birthday.
Didn't take my cell phone with me, so I missed the call from the doctor's office, but they left a voice mail and my pathology report did not show any serious problems, thank goodness. But I have to have another colonscopy next year. Yuck.
66 degrees and raining here.
I called Paula's work, got her voicemail, went back to the operator to make sure she was at work today and she is and fine! YAY!
Rain, rain, go away......it's been pouring ever since I got home.
Hey, I have a feeling I'm missing somebody's B-Day today, but I can't find my "saved" list of Oct. B-days on gmail.
So, to Columbus and whoever's B-Day it is...
********************
I'm wishing you a
VERY, VERY HAPPY

I got a text from Paula too, that she was on the blog Monday evening. She is all good and loves us! I told her that some of us were gun shy after losing Deb.
Great news, Sharon! Guess we cancel blond alert!!!
Shirley, good to hear that biopsy was fine!!
It will be at least Fri. I guess before I know anything about my scan.
Jim, it is MEMA JO'S BIRTHDAY!!!!
Jim--it is Mema Jo's birthday!!!
Who is having a birthday?????? lol
Jim - I forgive your memory!
Thanks for locating Paula!!
I feel better now!
Good to hear that Paula is fine.
Not fun to wait for the results of medical tests, Lynn. I will be thinking about you.
Still raining here. I would say that I am glad Hunter has a jacket in his bookbag, since he said he did. But that does not mean he will bother to put it on if it is indeed there.
I have watched him hop off the bus and happily walk home in the pouring rain while carrying the jacket in the bag. He is, after all, a boy.

Thank you Jim ♥
Here to report on the CAT Scan of October 4th. Still waiting for the specialists office to respond, but my primary physician just called. She says there was, on that date, fluid aka infection scattered about the right kidney. However, it is greatly reduced and she believes it's well on the way toward complete healing. Told me to continue with the antibiotic and see Dr. G. as scheduled on the 26th. So, I consider it good news. Big sigh of relief ! Thanks to all of you concerned Momster's and I will, of course, keep you posted.
SHARON, thanks for tracking PAULA down--good to know she's fine---guess she's just been busy. We sure get spoiled when people who are daily posters skip a day or so !
Hi all!
Great to hear your report, Kay! Continue what you are doing...sounds like each day is a little better.
We are back early to day. We drove to Pagosa Springs to check out the Saint Andrew Lodge, our house for Thanksgiving. It is out of town and in the woods. Hear that there is a bear. LOL Peeked in the garage and saw a large grill. That was one of our questions...we grill a lot, even in winter. Anyway, it looks like a great place! Checked out the grocery store in town. It is new, large and very nice...great deli. Checked out the bars to see if they will be open for the guys to watch football. LOL I have decided to go ahead and cook a turkey and make dressing. That is easy enough. We will buy pies, rolls, etc. Anyway, it looks like a great place to spend a week...just beautiful!!! Family fun with no TV nor computers. LOL
The house has two decks..and peeking through the trees you can see the snow covered peeks.
Another Aftershock Today
3.0
Just heard about it on the news.
Hi, Everyone,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MEMA JO!!! Hope it's a wonderful, special day for you!
And...HAPPY 24TH BIRTHDAY TO JAY, our granddaughter! We love you, kiddo!
Happy 47th Anniversary, Diann & Jim! Wishing you many, many more!
Praying for even more improvement for Dennis, and prayers for Linda, too.
Been praying today for Margy's Dr. appt. Hope the finger is an easy fix! Waiting for a good report.
Asking for prayers, please, for our son-in-law Marq's dad, Don. We just found out that he is in the hospital since last week, because of a brain bleed. The doctors have him in a drug-induced coma while they decide what to do next.
(Nobody wanted to ruin our vacation by telling us last week! Wish they had!) All prayers are much appreciated.
Well, gotta run. Kubby is on the way home from work, and I still have a LOT of transcription to do!
They sent at least 2 weeks worth, and I need to send it back by Friday. Yikes! Will check back in later.
That is news to me, Shirley and I am glad you didn't feel anything.
Kay - I think that is very encouraging news - I think you can feel yourself getting better cause we Momsters can tell you are by being here as an Early Bird chatting with us!!!
Just finished dinner with gs & Alexis
We are now waiting as my grown children should be arriving with the b-day cake!
I'll be back when it's over! ♥
Well I am back Yoga was very good with a lot of young people who are Teacher Trainees and full of life and enthusiasm.It felt crowded in there and yet I was able to focus and stay with my own practice on the mat...there are 18 Teacher Trainees who will be here for a month.
I got my flu shot and they were friendly and rather efficient about it all. I had not been to this clinic before and it is in a very convenient location.
I have not read back so will do so after I post this, I hope everyone had a great morning and afternoon...I have French Canadian Peas soup on again today...Love it yum yum yum!!!
Glad you heard from PAULA SHARON.
At the clinic they are so grateful for the volunteers that they also had tea and coffee with cookies in case we had to wait!!! It is a free injection, on my Health Insurance Card because I volunteer...Life is Good.
It is also my American Mom's Birthday today. She would have been 92 years old...she crossed in 1996 from cancer. She was a kind and gracious lady and oh such a GREAT cook...she loved music and she taught Greek Mythology.
Jo Did not feel the after shock...did anybody else here feel it in your area?
KAY----scan results sound good. Probably even more clear now than when you had it done! Do you have enough a/b's to last til the 26th?
Happy birthday to Shirley's bro Jim and to Andy's gd Jay!!
Lolly, don't forget some Bob Evan's mashed taters for your TG feast! They are very good!!
Andy, prayers for your SIL's father. How old a fellow is he??
Gee----go on vacay and have 2 weeks worth of work to do in less than one?? What's wrong with this picture??? You'll need another trip!!
JO------what KIND of cake are you getting????
Happy Birthday to your American Mom, too, Hoda. Mrs. Batchelder, right? May she RIP. My Momma is 92....and still with us!
Good on you for getting your flu shot!!! But I must say---you can keep your soup!!! :(
Hi all....reading back at the speed of light....
Happy Birthday Jo!
Happy Anniversary Diann!
Messages for you both on FB!
Great news on the scan Kay!
Prayers for Marq's father, Andy.
Prayers and (((HUGS)) for you Hoda on you American mother's birthday!
Hope to get a good report on Dennis this evening from Linda! And prayers that you headache goes away, and that Riley is hanging in there with the rain, poor guy. Bet he misses his Daddy, too.
And hoping and praying for Margy and her finger!
Gotta run and squeeze in a bath for Puddles before dinner....OH, one of my Monarch emerged today! Another chrysalis is just about ready to open!
Lynn, I meant to send a birthday card to our Norma. I have a late postcard ready to send. But need a confirmation...I have
9th 652 7th St. All the rest I have but questioned this.?????
If I do it quick I think I can remember them all:
Happy Birthday to...
Mema Jo, of course !
Shirley's brother Jim
Hoda's American Mother
Andrea's great granddaughter Jay
did I miss any?
Oh, I have a great paramedic friend nicknamed "Bear" whose birthday is today also ☺
What in the world was going on in January of these birthday years...??? Late celebrations of the New Year ☺ ♥
Good Evening Eagle Pals..and yes, glad to hear Paula is okay !
Busy Busy Momster she is !
Good reports from Shirley and Kay on their doctor things,
also....sounds cautious but optimistic for Dennis...
and hoping for good results for Lynn also !
Daggone those headaches, Linda !!!
You can share, I'll take 'em from you !!!
the 9th is for her birthday, don't put that on the address line,
Lynne....
you have the rest, right ?
Yes, Lolly, Norma's addy is correct.
LOLLY---9th is the date of her birthday, not part of the addy!
Lolly!!
Diann Pa Nana is going through some recipes you have shared with us....for her reunion on the 22nd...neat huh?
Sounds purely joyful, your vacation, and sounds like any ailments you and Jack HAD have not given you any problems.
Besides, Lynne, a late birthday card is a good way to keep the birthday glow glowin'
Do It !!
Margy, what did Dr. say about your finger?
I wish Loretta would get hers checked, too. :( I seriously doubt that cutting it cured the problem!!
I'm picturing the Joy and the Birthday Cake at Mema Jo's right now !!
I've been there, so I can picture it in my mind's eye ☺
Yes, Lynne, thanks for that reminder to pray for Andrea's son-in-law Marq's dad....hope that the bleed corrects itself without a whole lot of major intervention...
Prayer, that is the BEST intervention
finger problem is most likely tendonitis, or like trigger finger, NOT that I have shot any guns lately!
Had it before on left hand ring finger, not nearly so bothersome as right hand index finger!
Have a prescription getting filled for a topical analgesic, like a gel motrin...and a referral to an orthopedist for that AND the foot problem, in November.
THANKS for all the well wishes and prayers for the ailment
I can type, but writing is really difficult, and so are a lot of other things...but it is minor compared to some of what is going on here...
Thanks for the address correction. I thought it looked funny.
Margy...what is this about your finger? What's up? I have missed a lot!
maybe I did too many snail mail cardings last week ☺
LOLLY
sorry, well not sorry, but I got you confused with Lynne with the address question about Norma..
☺
finger is sore and swollen, thought it might be gout, but my uric acid readings are ok, so it is either arthritis or..the tendonitis or both
Okay....you answered my questiong just before I asked! Great minds!♥U
I did NOT confront upstairs tenants last night about the noise...just waiting for a more opportune time ...
I just didn't have the energy for it last night
it won't be long though
I have to apologize..can't stay on too long to type...
think it might be safe to take a shower, and Lynn:
I will keep my eyes closed!
So many pet tales and stories here...I think I am missing out by not having any pets...
DANAMO: Are you okay tonight ?
Well, Margy, trigger finger is different from tendonitis! If you bend it and then can''t straighten it, and it snaps when you force it, that's trigger finger! I had it with a ring finger, too----right hand, I think! Can't even see the scar from the surgery anymore! And a word to the wise, if you don't mind.....DON'T let an ortho operate on your foot!!! Go to Dr. Mollica if it's a surgical issue----did we think a Morton's neuroma??
Mits said that their boil water advisory after that huge River Rd. main break didn't mention boiling bath water!!! Guess Martinsburg has cruddier water or ground??? LOL!
The bowling ball giving you fits, Margy? Do say something to them. They may not even realize the noise they are conflicting on you...unless you say something. If they do not correct it...then you have a serious problem.
No Full Moon Sightings hereabouts!
But I will be thinking of the
Full Mema Jo-Hunter-Columbus Moon !!
I'll be back later on...
Best wishes for a good evening, wet as it is hereabouts!
xoxo ♥
Thanks Lynn, will take all that into account...
can you tell me a little more about trigger finger?
Please and thanks...
and thanks Lolly, good advice, and I WILL address it....the upstairs thing ..
When "mom" is not home, as she is not in the evenings because she works, "dad" is not much in control...qutie obviously
Moon has been absolutely gorgeous here. Thought of all of you...thinking you could see the moon, too. Sorry about the rain!
HA HA HA HA !!! OK LYNN No French Canadian Pea Soup for you!!!I'll eat your share... :^)
I'll take Lynn's helping of the Canadian Pea Soup, Hoda ☺
Lynn - I quit being lazy and googled trigger finger..most of the characteristics fit what I have...
Thanks for your wise counsel !
cute graphics on Google by the way
Art Clokey's 90th B-day...Gumby creator
ha ha I had tennis elbow once too, and I never play tennis
okay, now to the showers...
A large bowl of soup is on its way to your flat MARGY. Bon Appétit...
Hoda, I will share in your soup. I do think that Lynn is our resident "pickie eater". Maybe that is why she keeps her figure. I eat and enjoy way too much!
Just put a potato in our oven and have two steaks rubbed with a marinade. Jack is going to grill them. Rubbed them with garlic, rosemary, s & P, and olive oil. Yummy! Did I ever tell you about the time we snitched rosemary from the monks in Italy? Yep, I confess. we pinched rosemary from the monks!
We brought fresh rosemary with us. However, the rv park we are at has a herb garden and a sign that says "Help Yourself". I think that is really cool!!
We have enjoyed the afternoon being lazy. We have been on the go so much! I straightened the car, packed things away and we are set to go...early in the morn!
Re: tennis elbow.....did you know that it's only "tennis" elbow when the pain is on the outside---lateral epicondylitis. If it's on the inside---medial epicondylitis----is is "golfer's elbow"......so now you all know more about that ailment. And the tennis elbow braces/bands ONLY work for lateral pain!!
Oh-oh----Lolly's an herb thief!!! But bet it sure tasted good---did you make it through customs coming home with it???!!!
Oh, Lolly----not picky about fattening things!! Just not much on veggies!!!!
Wonder where Judie is today? Busy with the panthers, maybe??
GREAT supper you are having LOLLY and JACK. I like the help yourself of the herb garden. Drive safely as you head out tomorrow.
Only two fires in TEXAS one is three acres and unkown how much it is contained and the other is four acres and it is a hundred percent contained. Both were new today.One near Lufkin and Kisatchie National Forest and the other is near McKinney.
Susan had a lot of trouble with her thumb. As I recall, she was diagnosed with trigger thumb. She went to a hand specialist and had surgery. I haven't heard her complain since, so it must have worked.
Lynn...did not bring the rosemary home. We were cooking. We had an apartment in Italy, we went to grocery stores...and snitched herbs. lol
Canadian pea soup--sounds yummy!
Thanks, Hoda! Jack is a very good driver. We toodle down the road very carefully!
Oh, Lolly. I am glad you weren't caught. Would not have wanted you to be subjected to their legal system. Who knows? You might still be there.
How right you are, Shirley!!!
Cool that you had an apartment there, Lolly. How long did you stay?
We were there for two weeks. We were in Tuscany and had an apartment on a farm...they made wine and cheese!
Sounds great, Lolly.
Did th emonks run the grocery store? you said you tokk herbs from the monks and then you said from the grocery store...Hmmmm???Ten Hail Mary's each with two glasses of wine!!! {No Offence intended anyone just being light hearted)
That must have been a great experience, Lolly.
LYNN, I have enough antibiotic, Ceftin 500 mg., 2 a day, to last til' the 29th. Plus there is one refill if called in before the 28th. Had no idea one could be on a.b.'s as long as that implies. What do you know about them ? Oh, I know some folks are on prophylactic antibiotics for years and wonder if that is what's ahead for me.
HODA, you are never going to have to share pea soup with me. The Exorcist comes to mind. ☺ Is is Canadian Pea Soup because the peas are grown there, or because it is pea soup with a Canadian twist. Maybe it's tastier than USA pea soup !?
MARGY, hope you find relief soon and glad they aren't making assumptions, but sending you to a specialist or two.
JO, can't wait to hear about the cake ! I remember 72 as a very good year !
Almost time for Criminal Minds. Liesl is already prancing for sofa time again! 1/2 hr. of Jeopardy wasn't enough for her!! But she's also been to the playpen once, so guess she's wearing down for the day!! BBL!
The Blonde is Back!
(though I wasn't really gone!)☺
Thanks for thinking about me and checking up on me...ya'll are the best!
Love you all ♥
Welcome back Paula!!! You have been gone for days! :)
Hellooooo Blondie..!
It takes one (the best) to know one (the best ) ☺
Good to see you...
Lynn: any scanner traffic from City PD ? Cops are up and down the street with their spotlights..
Noooooooooo! Shopped at the grocery store, snitched rosemary from the monks at a monestary. They had a lot, only pinched a wee bit.
wow, Shirley...Susan's trigger thumb... surgery...recovery....
Amazing when you realize how important one single digit can be!
ttfn xo
couple of phone calls to make
Don't go out the door, Margy!!!
thanks for rounding Paula up,
Sharon - You Rock ! ♥
nope, got 'em both locked, Jo...
Thanks.
tried to call City PD, rang several times...guess I'll find out...later
How was the cake ????
And what kind ??
Welcome back to the blog, Paula.
I thought I was going to be talked into
driving up to Emmitsburg and hunt you down. lol
LOLLY, you n' Jack seem all sweet, like sugar n' spice. Now we know you have ♥'s as black as pepper. Stealin' Rosemary from monks ! You could have been charged with a salt and still be doing thyme rather than cummin home. Some sage advice, don't get caraway like that again, if you know what I mint. Er, if you know what I mean, that is.
LOL KAY!!!!!
Lovely puns, Kay!
B-day party was great - Lynn you will be happy knowing that Kristen made me the peanut butter cake with peanut butter icing from your recipe. Soooooo
good! There were other finger goodies and apples slices with caramel dip, Trail Mix & cider. There were 3 of the 5 children here with 6 of the grandkids and 6 great grandkids. Houseful of
loving fun!
Off to watch Criminal Minds

Margy, are they really tossing a bowling ball around, or is that what you equate the sound to be?
Welcome Back PAULA...You were missed.
Lolly, Its OK then since you only pinched a little bit!!!! LOL!!!
YES JO what kind of a cake did you get?
Pea soup is delicious and very nutricious. The French Canadians use ham for stock and with basil and onion and celery it is yummy.
I make a vegeterian pea soup however...The first time I tried it I also tried a tortièrre and it was heavenly. They make the best meat pie ever...
About ready to head upstairs. I have bowling practice tomorrow.
Margy, I promise I have not been throwing bowling balls above your apartment. I don't even bring a ball home yet. Still have not decided what weight I want. But I know It will not weigh 25 pounds!
KAY you are HILARIOUS
Pea soup is a nice comfort food. I still remember having it after I got my wisdom teeth pulled. Comfort without having to do much chewing.
HODA, I know you aren't alone in loving pea soup and I also know it is nutricious. It's something about texture for me I think.
Happy Belated Anniversary Diann and Jim!!
OK Tomorrow I will have lentil curry soup...
KAY the hilarious comment was because of the note you wrote LOLLY about pinching from the monks!!!
It's been a long day for me--time to head for bed. Will be saying a prayer for ANDY's sil, LINDA's dubby and all with aching digets n' joints. Saying thanks for birthdays well celebrated, gorgeous sights seen and that beautiful moon up above !
♥L♥I♥B♥E♥R♥T♥Y ! ! ! ! ! ! !
HODA, I gotcha' !☺ I don't know about hilarious, but I am a bit silly, especially when I get tired ! Have a good night all !
WOO HOO the other butterfly emerged! 2 of the other chrysalis don't look too good. 2 more DO look good and 2 are questionable. But with some warm temps and no rain tomorrow too early, I think these first two beauties will be heading to Mexico~I've told them to head to Lolly and Jack's Oasis on the way!
Just got back from Angies I bought NORTON to download my sub expires in 3 days PIA I had to take it back would not download I tried several hours and gave up I had to exchange it so I am asking Carl to come over while I am gone to download it I hope he will You have 14 days to install and right now I am frustrated with it and don't want to mess with it I went online also to norton help NO HELP it is a virtual person not a real person and I couldn't get them to understand my problem so I just took it back it has to be defective I have down loaded in past and no issue this wouldn't even come up with the box to enter the key card or to accept their terms PIA I skimmed the blog while I was playing with norton before I went to Angies I see Mema Jo has not heard from STEVE You all have my cell phone number you can text me the answer if you want to when you get it I will be waiting all week you all know that on pins and needles hoping he lets us in Ok I still have 125 comments to read I read the ones from JO that is how I know Ok I will try to check in in a bit still
Kay and Shirley, glad your Dr reports came back good!
It sounds like a full day JUDYE. Sorry about the computer problems.
Exciting that you start your journey tomorrow and you will be missed on the blog...I hope JO hears from STEVE so you can get to see NCTC and the Sycamour Palace and with any good fortune Belle and Truder.

I guess you'll be heading out tomorrow! Hope you have a safe trip and I sure wish I could meet up on Monday!
Heading to bed...good night and prayers for all!
I read up to date the comments. See there are more birthdays for today.
Also see prayers for Don.
See where Kay got answer from her doctor about CT Scan.
Keeping Hedgie-Lynn/e and Margy in prayers.

Keeping prayer list up to date for people and God's creatures.
I see we are talking about fences
See Dennis has to stay another day
I see a alert was almost sent out for Paula
KAY so glad you are getting stronger each day and glad you got some results back
LINDA sounds odd but massage your big toe I believe in reflexology and where your toe bends massage it deeply couldn't hurt your toe is your head and neck
Still doing some reading I am so excited about going on this vacation and finally getting to put faces with names I can't wait for the week to fly by Oh by the way I put video on YouTube of june and terrys river view from their porch
the view I have to put up with in NC
There are two videos of it the other is below on the left side recently added videos
LOL Kay!!! You are one sharp cookie! Read it to Jack...he laughed. He is also trying to think of a come back, but he is watching the Rangers play ball and do not think his brain is up to it tonight. I know mine isn't!
Happy Trails JudyE...
Hope everyone you meet up with along the way....treats you like royalty ♥
Hey Do you think I should say something on Face book to Steve ???? or is that being to pushy????
Peanutbutter cake I haven't had that since I left home
Paula
it just sounds like bowling balls being dropped and rolled around
sometimes there are two kids up there,
throw in a little screaming...
well...that's what it's like.
I promise to stop talking about it, until I take care of it sensibly and sensitively;
I don't think it's meanness or overt rudeness, but as someone kind on here mentioned, Lolly I think...they probably can't realize how noisy it is down here
Oh, Kay, you are so good with the puns!!! Love it!!!
Ceftin is a good a/b----hope you aren't going to have to take it for too long, tho'. If it works, you don't want to become immune to it's benefits!
There's PAULA!!!! Glad you made it in the door!
Margy.....duh! I had scanner of outlet earlier when I was downstairs. Plugged it back in and apparently it didn't start scanning! Didn't even realize it! Back on now....not hearing anything significant at the moment.
boy is the blog odd tonight after I make a comment everyone avatars aren't there then they show up I wonder if it has anything to do with me upsetting Norton LOL I am just to frustrated to try to download the disc I texted Angie and haven't heard back if Carl will do for me I'm sure he will ok back to reading I am catching up
