112 posts on the old one...time to start fresh.

I am glad that you got back home with no trouble Tina.

Junie, the bottles are all different sizes.

DH is out raking the last of our hay...tomorrow we bale. I will be glad to see it done and the barn filled for Winter.

Hay in the barn is good, Sunny.
I took a nap. Now I am trying to wake up. It's hard to do.

We rented a large round baler from a local farmer....the tractor loader will do all the work thumbup

This afternoon I have to take GG to visit her aunt who is home visiting for a few days from another province. It is bittersweet...it reminds me that she is the only one from the 'sperm donor's' family that even acknowledges her. I dread the day having to explain to her that she has a father, other grandparents, etc...

I will be taking home my grandson for a couple of days as well....DD needs to have the new place finished with the cleaning by Tuesday so the painting can begin.

Good morning. Have fun with your grandson, Sunny. Are you doing the painting?
I will finish unpacking my van today. That is all I can think of yet. I'm sure more will happen.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning. Happy Monday.
That is a lot of painting. I hope you get it all done, Sunny. When I was younger by about 40 years, I loved to help people paint and things. Not so much any more. Too many aches and pains these days.
I need to go out for some business today so I will shop for the things I forgot on Saturday while I am out.
I hope everyone has a great day.

WOW that is a lot of painting ! I wish you all the best. I so hope that the friends do come to help her. I am sure that everyone concerned cannot wait for the week to pass.

Have fun out, Tina....I too cannot do what I used to. It frustrates me that I do not have the ability to work late into the night as I used to. OR that I am not able to go out in the evening & put several hours into caring for my plants & landscaping---Getting older is not for sissys, that is for sure. and oh..I hate to paint...I always have hated it, sad thing is Rod does not like to paint either.

I used to like to paint. But not anymore.
Jonni and I still have to go out and bring in the safe I took out for possible evacuating. It takes two to lift it and then we put it on a dolly to bring in and out. . And it is mostly papers to keep in case of fire. But I bring it out when I can, in case...
I signed up with my propane company today for a substantial savings per gallon for the next year. That's a good thing. Then I went to the grocery store and picked up the tidbits I forgot the other day.
I didn't have what it took to stop for gas after that. So I'm sending Jonni out for that in a bit.

Tomorrow is Ceramics and then I will go out to lunch. WE have a meeting in the evening--but when I am back home, I will be in. See you in the evening tomorrow.

Good morning. I am thinking of the Italian people in their earthquake woes today. It has got to be awful.
I have no major plans today. I might just get some housework out of the way.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning ! breakfast

I have spent the morning separating baby clothes into sizes. Sad thing is I now must send the appropriate sized clothes to my DD as I do not think we will be going there any time soon.

Now it is time to take my MIL cards for her to sign for this months birthdays, etc. also need to get some gas.

Temps back into the 90's here today... rolz

I wish everyone a good day.

OH Tina...such kind words..thank you so very much. Those words made me feel good. shewinks

My youngest DD's best friend has a baby daughter, & it is her hand-me-down baby clothes I was going thru.

They are now all in zip-top bags labeled as to sizes. That will help me send the size appropriate clothes to my oldest much more easily.

Yes, that will be a big help to your daughter. You can't physically hug and cuddle your grands on a daily basis. But you can share your love by sorting and sending those clothes along. A long distance hug.

That is just the way I look at it. And if you feel that way too, you should share it with Valarie. Let her know some loving hugs are on the way. Are you tucking something in for Henry?

well, it is appreciated.

Henry: I very recently sent him a 4-pc gardening tool set. he was in heaven. Daddy even made him places to hang them in the garage like Daddy does for his. shewinks

But yes, in with the clothes, I am sending him a Jell-O Creations Dessert Kit. When Mommy makes it with (or for) him it will be Oreo Dirt Cups. There will be enough for him to share with his cousins if he wishes. I may find something else because you know Mom will not get to making that right that day.

I need to go to bed soon.

G'nite sweet dreams everyone.

Happy Birthday to her, Tina.

A "wrong number" woke me this morning. I have no idea, but I am up & ready to go. I had to talk myself into staying inside even.

Going soon to see my MIL & then to the grocery.

You were very much missed, Sunny. I will pass your message on to Jonni. Are the kids rooms painted now?
I am sorry you got so tired. Sweet dreams.
And I am tired myself. Sweet dreams all.

Yes Tina, the two kids rooms are completely finished and I also done some repairs in the rest of the house. I also fully painted all the ceilings through the whole house. I figure that I done my share...now DD can do hers. thumbup

Today I need to do laundry, clean and mop here. It has been raining non stop for days.

Good morning. That's a lot of painting that you did, Sunny. I can feel my muscles seizing up just thinking about it.
My plans for the day include shopping for the weekend ahead. I may get some mopping done myself.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Mopping finished...and here I sit waiting for the dryer to shut off. One more load to go in then I am all caught up.

I am hoping to get a few dry hours tomorrow so I can get my lawn cut as well.

Good moring.

Tina, Carol had family visiting and she was making the meal for them...she had a busy day ahead of her yesterday.

We had had a bad storm last night...a few places flooded. I am so glad we built on higher ground with no basement.

Today GG and I have a b-day part to attend. My God-daughter's baby turns 2...it should be fun. Then I have to come home to mow the lawn then head to a surprise party for our nephew who eloped. They are visiting from another province...so my SIL is having a small family gathering at her house for him and his new wife.

Hoping your day isn't as busy as mine. lol

Ah, I didn't get the word of Carol's happenings. I hope she manages to have fun with her visitors. And thank you for letting me know.
Good morning. You are very busy, Sunny. I couldn't do what you are scheduling anymore. I would collapse. But I will go out today for a few items I need from the grocery store.
I hope each of you has a great day.

Sorry ladies, I thought sure I came back in & said goodnight. In my mind I had done so. blush

It was only my niece that was coming. She works for Boeing in Seattle, WA and once a year or so she has classes at the headquarters in St. Louis.
So, on her last day she stays around to visit with her grandmother and then sometimes stops by to see us. Rod did not want to go out to eat, so I had to (well, I felt like I had to) extra clean my house and then cook a nicer meal for her....I cheated & just made a cake & mashed potatoes to add to a company take out meal that is offered at a local restaurant.

I also finished packing the clothes I had for Valarie & took them to be mailed to her....

Today I plan on not doing much. I will re-clean the kitchen, and fix meals, but other than that I so not plan on doing much.

I too wish the 2 of you a great day.

That sounds like a nice visit, Carol. I am glad all is well with you.
I finally got my shopping done. I need to make a list for staying in next weekend. Have everything and not run out of anything. Because I'm not going out.
Today I bought a london broil. Sliced thin it will make some awesome sandwiches this week. And a stir fry. I've got that cooking now.

Thanks so much Tina.

I just got back from Wal-mart. I had some things to pick up so I thought to get some photos developed.

Last time I got photos they were 9 cents each. Today they were 29 cents each. egad
BUT then when I went to pick them up, they were 15 cents each b/c I had 100 made. I will most likely never go to Wal-mart again for photos unless I am on a deadline. I can order them online from Shutterfly for 9 cents each, and not leave my house.
You live, you learn.

It is thundering in the distance, I guess we may bet some rain. why

Good morning. It is an unusual, cool August morning. I am thoroughly enjoying the coolness. Quietly planning my day. It is time for clean sheets so I will work on that today. Maybe trim some hair too. A beef stir-fry is for dinner tonight. Anything else that gets done is a bonus.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Good Morning!

I turned off the computer & unplugged it last night after I came in as the thundering got more intense. Then around 9 it just stopped. I was extra tired, so I went to sleep. Strange thing was I stayed asleep until 7:30 this morning.

We will go to church, and then go to visit my MIL. After that I am not sure what is on the agenda. We shall see.

We finally got a little rain last night without the lightening and thunder. It was nice. Wish it would happen again.

Was great to see G-mom post. Sorry it had to be about JV.

So glad that G-Mom came in---I will have to go search that out, as so far I have missed that. Thanks for commenting, Sheri.

You got rain, that is great---We did not--after all the build up we did not even get sprinkles.

Today we went to a Rural King. I needed some thistle. They were having a sale, so I also picked up some suet cakes for this winter.

The rest of today I am going to spend going thru picture albums. Apparently, my youngest DD went thru & took what she wanted.... do not mind, she could have had the whole album, but it would have n=been nice if she had of asked me. (her wanting them would have made me smile)

I hope everyone is having a wonderful, restful Sunday.

Good morning. We had our cool and we are headed back into summer now. I liked it better with the cool. Every year I get pickier.
I don't have plans for today yet. I must think of something to top my list to accomplish. Decisions, decisions.
I hope you all have a great day.

My time stamp is all messed up again.

I've been out in the garden this morning and it's a little bit cooler. I'm sitting here eating a cucumber. Cucumbers will be what I miss the most. Wish I could find a way to grow them all year.

Good Morning.

Tina, I do not know what I am going to do with my day either. I have several things to accomplish, I am just not in a big hurry to do them. why So far today, I did get some photos in the mail, & then I managed to get my front porch flower pots watered & my one small flower bed weeded.

I also got all of my photos organized & put in albums. I did find some really old ones...thing is they maybe doubles, as where I got my photos developed used to give out free doubles. why
I wish I would remember things better than I do. but oh well. It is my fault not for doing whatever with them back when I got them developed.

It is cool this morning. I wish I had of found that out earlier. I should have gone out back to weed say around 6 or 7 am.

I wish everyone a good day !

Good Afternoon. I was going at a good clip, until I ate lunch. The combination of the food and the sitting quietly while I ate must have done me in. I need a nap & it is far too late for one now.

Did they get the cleaning and painting done to satisfaction, Sunny? I am glad it's nearly done. It is time to settle in.

Gracious. First I come in, begin to post & nope--I get called away. So, finally I am here & I will try again.

Tina..I am glad that you are feeling better today & I do hope that the trend continued all day.

Sunny---while I am sure that you were tired after helping with the moving, I am sure that it was a good tired. Sounds to me like a job well done. Yay for you !

I need to go to sleep soon. The good news is that I do not have to go anywhere tomorrow---well, unless I want to travel....

Sweet dreams everyone.

Good Morning !!

I do not blame you, Tina. I think this weekend is a good time to stay off of the roads. When the kids were small, the labor Day weekend was the only time we had 4 days in the same spot to take the kids on vacation. I would pray the whole 4 days until we were home. Thankfully, nothing ever happened while out on that weekend, but I agree it is a good weekend to stay very close to home.

am doing a bit of grocery shopping (I long for the old days of grocery delivery) and then have to scrub mold off of a few places on my deck. I plan on painting the whole deck this Friday & Saturday. It is long over-due.

I've been totally lazy today. Still sitting her in my pajamas. I need to wash my hair and clean up a little but I just don't want to get out of this chair. Just read up and found out that this is Labor Day weekend. Guess I better go to the grocery store before it gets crowded. Don't wanna go.

yes..I just got dressed and I need to wash my hair too. But, just brushed it back and am ready to leave--I will wash it tonight.

I hope you find a way to get out & get your groceries & get back home soon, Sheri.

I just had trouble getting in here---tried 3 times & then left---just now I had NO trouble getting in---oh well--all tha tis important is that I am here now---

I wish you all a great afternoon.

It is not just Labor Day weekend here. There are 3 days of concerts and camping up the road at the pavilion. Well, the camping is right across the road from me, the concert up the road. I do not go anywhere when there is an event. I sit tight and people watch.

Ah, Yes. I remember that now. I do not blame you.

I am home form shopping. I bought a Kidz travel bed. it is the size of a crib mattress and has sides like a small inflatable children's swimming pool. And if you would like, you can remove the mattress insert & then have 2 beds. I got it as an addition to beds at Grandma's house.

Now I have a small break until it is time to begin preparing supper.

Good morning.

My DH's Aunt passed away so we have been busy with family who have come home for the services...she was a very sickly person, her passing now has her at peace. We take comfort in that.

Tina, the cleaning and painting was not nearly completed but we had no choice but to move her when we did....it was the only day that the 26 ft moving truck was available. I will go today and tomorrow to help with a few things...the baby is sick with fevers also, there is a virus going around. It will take a month or so to get the house where it should be.

Yay for the baby bed purchase Junie...I wish they sold such items here.

Good morning. I am sorry for your aunt's passing, Sunny. Glad she is at peace now. I am also glad your daughter is in her new home, if not settled yet. Poor baby. I hope he recovers quickly.
Today is the first of September. That means I have some banking and shopping to do. Tomorrow the campers move in for the concert. And I won't fight for road space with them. I want to have plenty of fresh food on hand.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Sunny, so sorry for your Aunt's passing. Yes, a very good thing that she is at peace now.
Glad too that your DD is moved in. Poor little grand. I hope the sickness does not last long.
September 1st---Oh my Tina--where did the summer go??? I hope that you are able to get out & get your errands done.

I did some grocery shopping yesterday. I think that will hold me for a week or so. I think I am getting sick..I think all I will do today is scrub the deck to get the mild off. Then if I am not sick tomorrow I intend to begin staining the deck, as it will be in the high 70's to low 80's the next few days.

I just dropped off bean pods at my Uncle's and he gave me a half gallon of freshly picked blueberries. I am going to freeze them for muffins in Winter.

I hope you got your errands completed Tina.

I still need to paint my foundation...thanks for the 'paint' reminder Junie.

Yes, do go out today, but please do not let it kill you. fidget
Better to go today than to go thru the weekend after all. That should be motivation enough, right ??

I am not feeling so well...I am hoping it is just allergies...

why do I go to the quick reply when I hit reply ???
Do not like this...I do not seem to have access to the various colors/font size & color/types, this way etc.

I did however go to the page that give me access to them if I hit edit after I have already posted

I also had to make several tweaks to all of the different styles for the page display, so some of you may have seen some oddness for a couple of hours.

As for changes to the way that the post buttons work, the behavior of the reply bringing you to the quick reply box is so that you can use the "quote" function and quote multiple posts (whereas before it'd bring you to the full reply page each time you pressed the quote button). It'll also allow cellphones and tablets to quote a post.

When at the quick reply section, if you click "Full Editor" it'll shoot you to the full reply page, so you can start your post on the Quick Reply and move over to the Full Editor if you need to.

I am getting this now----So yay for me.

I am starting to feel bad again. I guess it is time to take some meds & then go to sleep so I can get up rested & then begin to stain the deck tomorrow.
I scrubbed the deck tonight & hopefully it is ready to get its coat of sealer tomorrow.
The next 2 days are supposed to be mild days weather wise--YAY !!

Sweet Dreams to you all.

Well, I did not go to bed. I washed one last load of clothing first. Now, that load is done and folded.

I think I will for sure go to sleep now.

Sweet Dreams everyone.

Good morning. No one has been in today. I miss you guys!
I have been hovering over the Fla., Ga, SC coast, weather watching. It is not too nice for my southern friends. I hope everyone stays safe.
It is time to get something else done around here.

Good Morning (barely)

I have bene awake since 8 am. I went out & my deck was wet with dew...Imagine that. So I came in & dis some housework. Then I was just sitting down to my laptop with a first cup of Coffee & My MOM called me on Skype. But hey, I am here now. It is looking like I will be waiting until after lunch to paint.

It will be in the high 70's here today...To my notion, perfect for painting. II wish everyone a great day.

time: 7:55 pm 9-2-16 (checking my preferences)

I do feel fairly good...not right but not really bad either---I guess it is a mild cold.

Welll tonight I went out after supper to try to finish up the one can or sealer. When I tried to move one of my wooden planters it came apart...Dirt went everywhere.... and then I think I saw a LOT of termites..THEN I did not know what to do with the dirt. why Rod is going to take both planters to the creek tomorrow. I do not feel comfortable keeping the one good one given their were "critters" living in the one.

But hey, the deck looks cleaner now---Good news is this happened before I had painted the floor...where the dirt did hit was either dry or not painted yet. prayers

I found it did rain last night--we got 1/10 of an inch. I thought the deck looked like rain--not dew...

All bathed & clean now....

OH MY!! 2 sick kids ?? I do so hope that they do not share with Grammie.

Well last night I got rid of my 2 planters. One was rotten & fell apart on the deck when I tried to move it. The other is in decent shape but it is going--no use having th4e chance for the mess happening again. Deck is damp again--so I will run some errands this morning & then continue sealing this afternoon.

it is 9:10 am
9-3-16


I think I have my preferences set up correctly.

I wish everyone a great Labor Day Weekend !!

Good morning.
I am so sorry you have 2 sickies on your hands. Your daughter is very lucky to have you to fall back on, Sunny.
I hope your deck dries enough to get it done, Carol.
I think I will concentrate on laundry today. Or something productive any way. I hope everyone has a great day.

The Deck is done !! shewinks

The Humming birds are ever so happy..(I told them they could come to the feeder on the deck but they didn't believe me.) why

My big plan was to do some weeding & such after I was done, as it is such a beautiful day.. I have changed my mind--it is time for me to take 5. Carol is not as young as she used to be...oh well.....

My evening meal is done as well. WE both ate late lunches so supper was late as well. (now hopefully, carol will not snack.)

Thanks TIna, I am happy it is done as well. It has not been done right since 2012. In 2013 Rod had some deck stain left from when he stained his shed and so I painted the step going down form the deck and all but about 5 boards of the floor on the deck with the remaining stain.
am so glad that I got that job done. Now I need to wash the door and step into the house from the garage, the door frame tot eh house on the front porch and the mail box and post. Then will decide if they need painted.....I think they probably do, my DH says they all are just dirty. I hope he is right.

I too have a load of clothes in the machine, Tina. I do so wish we did not dirty so many clothes.

I wish my kids didn't change so often. Or one of them didn't feel the need to use two towels a day. Oh well. I am getting there.

Well, Thankfully Rod only uses 1 towel each day--and he doe snot use wash cloths. I use 1 washcloth a day & use my towel 2 days--so that saves me some.

The load of clothes are dry, & hung or folded. I think I will try for sleep now.

Sweet Dreams. snooz

Good morning. And good grief. There is another fire nearby. It apparently started after I went to bed last night and i never heard a thing. I don't know much about it yet. It's nearer than the last one and on the other side of the Freeway (I think). I'm on fire watch again.
