A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2508

Good morning. I too am drinking my coffee. I hope it wakes me soon.

It sounds as if you have things all planned for Teddy. I am sure he will be happy with going out with his family.

4 days of rain?? yet----sounds like my house in the past while. This week may or may not be dry all week. It depends on which channel you listen to the weather on.
I was not able to do my outside staining yet this year..and now it may well wait until fall. but I have to get it done before winter for sure.

Sounds like a great idea on the purse...back when I was younger I used to make purses to match a lot of the clothes I made for myself. wonder where my chain is that I used on all of them..LOL

I don't carry a purse at all. But they sound nice.
I got some shopping done on the way to the school. Took Teddy and some juice and otter pops to his classroom. Came home and switched the laundry I started before I left and put my groceries away. I put dinner in the crock for later and finished drying and folding the laundry. I have a second load to hang out in a bit.
I have to go pick up Teddy in half an hour. This condensed day is going to take some getting used to. Oh, I just remembered, I need to fill my tank. So I'll leave a bit early as to have time to do that. Condensed day.

All, done. I filled my tank, Picked up Teddy and came home. I hung my load of rag towels on the line. Now I'm going to rest.

Resting is good.

I baked most of the day....it filled the freezer and warmed the house at the same time.

I also just ordered my grandson's birthday gift...a Little Tike's toybox, it is hard to believe he will be turning one in a month.

They grow too fast, don't they?

WOW..one year old already,---yes they grow up way too fast.
MY oldest Grandson will be 4 this September...they grow up way too fast.

I am off to finish cleaning up the kitchen catch you all later.

Sweet dreams all. I;m going to drag my bones to bed.

Good morning.....more rain for me.

I have no idea what today will bring.

Good morning. I got up a little early but it's good. I can get some stuff done before school. It's going to be warm today.

Maybe I can sent some cooler weather your way Tina....it reached 50*F(10*C) here today. It has rained for days and a new tropical depression shall carry it on for another week. Oh well, better now than when I plant my garden. I have no need for floating seeds

Well, right now I'd rather it was hot than cold. So you keep sending there cold on east, Sunny. Thank you though.

Sweet dreams all. I'm done in.

Hello:

I went to ceramics today & then out to eat with my friends. As it would be my birthday tomorrow the waitresses sung me Happy Birthday and brought me a piece of pie with a candle on it!!!..My friends sang also---it was fun.


Then I got home & slept for 1-1/2 hours. Really I should go to sleep early tonight to make that count----probably not gonna happen.

Sweet Dreams to you, Tina.

Good morning.

Rain, rain go away...Sunflower wants to go out to play

Happy birthday Junie ...my parcels are always late but not my 'well wishes'

Today I visit the grands...and run errands. I also will finish up my purse this morning.

Good morning. I am ready for Wednesday. I have our clothes laid out. It's going to be a good day. I hope it is for everyone.

Good Morning. Coffee in hand here.

Tina, it sounds as if you are way organized. Kudos to you.

Sunny. thanks for the birthday wishes. it makes me smile to be thought of. and I am honored to get a package from you.
The timing is not an important. Surprises are surprises, no matter when they come.

Today I will get a blood test, run an errand or 2 and then go to Wal-mart.
I hope to find a blue/white print pair of shorts.....Happy Birthday to me....

I wish you all a great day!

I am home for the day. I have taken Teddy to school and home again. I took my trash to the dumpster on the way out. And shopped on the way home this morning. I put all of that away and grabbed a bite to eat. Then back out to wm to see if they had any paint that Ted's teacher wanted for his class. They didn't so I got bubbles instead. I'll look for paint another day.
So I am done and ready for a nap.

got a lot done today...and am home waiting to leave to go out to eat. We are meeting Valarie and 2 of the girls for supper.

Oh, have fun, Carol.

Yay for supper out Junie...enjoy your visit with the babies.

Tina, Teddy's teacher must love how you help out with the class.

I ran errands, visited the grands then came home and lit the stove. It is freezing outside.

She does love it, Sunny. I do it because class budgets are bare bones. And teachers often go out of pocket for fun stuff to do. I know first hand. And we can afford to help so we do. It's fun for us too.

Sweet dreams all. I hope you've had a very happy birthday, Carol.

Sunny---Tina, thanks so much for the birthday wishes.

I had a fantastic time....Rod & I met Valarie, Nora & Cora at a restaurant half way for us both from where Val is staying this week for Dinner this evening..
we did not I know if I had a cold or allergies so val decided not to stay here. Everyone will be going back home tomorrow.

Nora is a cranky little girl & was only happy when eating or resting in my shoulder...or when I was humming to her. (I figured I should not sing in a restaurant after all.)

anyway I had a wonderful birthday, holding Nora-----even if no one got a photo of it-----why I even got to eat a bit

Now I am paying bills, and washing clothes...I swear the clothes multiply in the hamper.

I will soon go to sleep g'nite everyone..Sweet Dreams

It sounds lovely, Carol.
Good morning. I am having an early morning again. But I'm up so I'll enjoy the sunrise.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Thanks, Tina.

I have not seen a sunrise in awhile--I need to do that. They are so pretty.

I am now waiting for my sister to come & get me. She is taking me to see my Endocrinologist.

of course there will be lunch or dinner (or both) out.

I wish everyone a great day.

Good morning (still is here anyway).
I hope you get good news from your endo, Carol.
I made my appointment and I am home again. It did not take as long as they said it would. And I am legal now. I've been driving on an expired license for nearly six months without realizing it. My mail really sucks sometimes. I'm very glad I wasn't stopped.

Yikes Tina, did you have to be re-tested?

Good luck on your appointment Junie, it makes me smile to hear of your b-day with the babies.

Not much going on here today...laundry and mopping and such. The rain is never ending it seems.

No, Just my eyes to prove I don't need glasses. And because of my age they need to see me to make sure I'm not too decrepit to be driving. And get a new picture. My old one is too young, I guess.

Thanks ladies. When I got my license,(was it June 3rd?) they for the first time in years asked me my weight...and my height had to be within 1 inch of correct.
BUT then I think that was b/c our licenses are now going to be identification cards for things like getting on a plane & such as well.....

I have to wonder if I will have to have my eyes checked next time or not ?
I told them that my eye Dr. said since I have artificial lenses put in after my cataract surgery, unless I get an eye disease my eyes will not change..ever.

I have glasses but just to read.

back to watch Doc Martin now

I have glasses for reading also. I am going to bed within the hour. Sweet dreams and rest well all.

Good morning.

Here our licenses need to be updated fully with a new pic every three years...and if it is expired by one day then you need to be retested as a new driver.

The weather is getting a 2 day break before tropical storm Collin gets us Monday with heavy rain. I guess my garden planting will be put off once more.

Every 4 yrs. here.

The cut off date for the chance in licensing here is July. They may be beginning the end of June...not really sure of the time frame. I got a hard copy of my permanent Driver's License b/c I got my license June 3rd. The next time I get them (2020) I will get a piece of temporary paper to dive on & after a background check, and so they say, my hard copy will come in the mail a few weeks later. I guess one more way to follow/control us.

It is over-cast here, but no rain yet...I am hoping it does not rain.

Today I have a few errands to run & then some housework to do here.

Good morning. I was up in the night for an earthquake and went back to sleep. Happy Friday.
I am glad our licensing isn't quite that stringent. I wouldn't fare as well on a written test these days. I drive more by "feel" than how many feet or car lengths I am from something.
Today I'll Take Ted to school and shop for the weekend. Then pick him up again. It sounds like a plan.
I hope you all have a great Friday.

Sun-shiny and HOT now---near 90 with a heat index of around 100*F.

I too wish everyone a great Friday.

The earthquake was quite a ways from me so it was a gentle roll. But not so much for people nearer to it. 5.2 is a nasty jolt and quite exciting.
I took Ted to school this morning and didn't come home. I went to the grocery store and got things un-refrigerated. Then I got some gas. Then I made the trip to the school supply store and was 15 minutes early for their 9 am opening so waited in the parking lot. I went to the door at 9 and read their sign. They don't open until 10. So I schlepped around for the hour including breakfast and got back after 10. I bought the teacher's desired paint ($30) and left there. I drove back and took the paint in to her and picked up Teddy a little early. And I took a nap when I got home. It was good.

WOW... I hate when days go like that. it seems that once a day starts like that it just keeps going as such.

BUT then, you did get breakfast out.
I love to eat out....and oh, it has nothing to do with the getting of food...
I love that "somebody else" takes my order, brings me the cooked food & cleans it all up after I leave. All while I sit and relax. That makes my day.

and earthquake ?? oh my....glad that you and yours were ok, Tina.

Junie, glad you got to see the babies.

I need to check and see if my license need to be renewed. I've convinced our mail lady throws our mail in the trash.

We've been at St. Simons Island since Monday. I definitely didn't want to come home.

OH MY I can understand your not wanting to come home- vacations are THE best.

Thanks for the well wishes, Sheri.

California licenses are renewed every 4 years on your birthday. For the last few years I was able to do that by mail a month or so before my birthday. They sent a letter, you send a check and your license comes a couple weeks later. But I reached the magic age of 65 and I need to renew in person now.
I am sorry that your vacation is over, Sheri. But welcome back.
I'm about ready to hit the hay. Sweet dreams all.

Ours is every 4 years and some get to do it by mail & some not. It depends on if you need an eye test or a driving test, etc. I needed an eye test (I have glasses but just for reading). BUT, since the driver's license are not going to be state ID as well, the fee went from $10.00 to $30.00...that was quite a shock.

I am going to bed now--g'nite. sweet dreams
