Tina. we all have days like that---I say savor them.

Relatives (my company) are/is here now and they are in bed sleeping.

As soon as I watch my recorded soap opera, I too will be headed to sleep.
sweet dreams to you all.

Good morning.

Thank you for the kind words...we cannot get special boots here unless they are prescribed...and that is what I am trying to accomplish at the moment. His feet are too thick to fit in normal walking boots. We have 2 more appointments within two weeks to get the final decision.

I am cooking beets at the moment...then I will peel, cut and make the pickling brine. Another Fall chore will be completed in a few hours thumbup I am so pleased with the amount of preserves this year.

Good morning.
Good luck on getting his feet squared away, Sunny. And I'm glad you are getting so much put away.
I don't know my exact plans for today yet. But I think I will go out and shop for our needs because they have an event up the road tomorrow and through the weekend. And I don't want to fight the traffic. So going out today is my best choice.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Hurry for the beets. I love pickled beets. As it is just me that will eat them I make my own refrigerator version one jar at a time. To have them sitting on the shelf at the ready is a wonderful thing I am sure. Your first frost--oh my---so very sorry, but I guess it had to happen, huh???

Company has just left for the day. I offered them lunch if they wanted, but I guess they will be gone all day. The good news is it is Lee's birthday today so Rod is going to take him out to eat to celebrate. Carol does not have to cook.........YAY !!!!

Yay for dinner out, Carol. Yay for popping lids, Sunny. Good things are happening for everyone.
The traffic is bad on weekends in September the last few years. There are other events during the year but they are easier to navigate.
I have yet to go out.

Good morning.

Junie, I cook my ribs in the oven...leaving them brown as well...then I make two kinds of sauces and transfer the ribs to two dishes and bake another hour. They were delicious.

We woke this morning to broken fencing...another bear. We are going to have to slowly turn our back fencing into permanent rails. Black bears and cows do not mix.

I need to cut my lawn and such today...it will only need cut a couple of times before Winter.

So sorry to hear about your fencing. I hope you can bear-proof soon, Sunny.
I plan on the shopping that I didn't accomplish yesterday. I really need to get the some things in the house.
I hope everyone has a great day.

I'm glad I got them done early. They set up the tent for the rodeo restaurant. They've set over 200 tables for the (almost) formal outside BBQ tonight. Catering trucks in and out. I'm glad I'm not needing to go out the next few days.
The dinner tonight is for bigwigs and fund raising and things. The white cloth tablecloths come off and the regular people eat BBQ for the next 3 days.
I do hear the rodeo more than the concerts. It is closer to me. But it's more pleasant sound for me. I just wish it weren't so crowded. They oversell tickets and don't have near enough seating and all for the crush of people.

It is really just every weekend in September this year. Other events include various fishing tournaments and some graduation ceremonies in May and June. They don't have the crowds of the concerts or the rodeo. I can handle them all.
I am going to bed now. Sweet dreams all.

Rodeo and BBQ...that's my kind of party.

Just had to bring GG to school...she has the sniffles and stated she can't go to school sick. She apparently changed her mood when I landed to 'take her to the doctor'. Too sick for school...too sick to come to Grammie's for the weekend. thumbup

I have to go back up later to bring DD my push lawn mower...it shall be interesting to see how she fairs out with it lol

Sunny, I am laughing about your G girl...she is already trying to work all of you, huh?? Well, did the ploy work---did she end up going to school after all ?
I wish your DD the best in cutting grass....it occurred to me that she may well think you will be frustrated with her not knowing how to cut & just take the mower over & cut it for her???

Tina, I guess one month a year is not so bad I am glad to hear that.

My company has left about an hour ago. Now I have bedding to wash & such...which is ok as it is raining outside...a LOT. So far we have gotten 2+ inches since 7 am this morning.
So inside chores are a good choice.

GG went to school...and came home running a fever of 101*. She is resting at the moment. She fakes so often that we miss the days when she really is sick..

I started to cut DD's grass then a neighbor stopped by with his sit down mower and cut a lot of it for us(he said he knew the baby's dad before he died)...it was almost a foot tall and all woody weeds. He seen me fighting with the clogged mower ever minute. I still made DD cut some, she was not impressed with it though lol It took me a bit to do the weed wacking but we are done. It looks so much better.

Here I sit for a few.

I hope your little short person feel better soon, Sunny. I feel sorry for all of you in that situation.
Hopefully she realized today that perhaps always telling the truth is best for her.

A rider mower. Rod has one, and it is wonderful, it is a used John Deere & so does a good job. He had a different brand back at the farm & it was a horrible mess. plus then the deck was not removable and so to clean it was near impossible.
If anyone remembers, we had 5 acres at the farm---3 were in pasture, so did not need cut every week, but the 2 acres needed cut at least one time a week & so was quite the job...he cut the grass & I raked it.
I am so very happy that the neighbor helped you with your DD's grass. Perhaps he will do so some in the future as well. why prayers

My bed clothes are clean & dry but I still need to put both beds back together....

Good morning.

GG is sick ALL the time....it's just like her system holds on to everything. I am going to have to give in and take her to see a specialist as well. We know she has ADHD but I fought all attempts to have her 'diagnosed' but now she is developing 'tics'. I am scared.

I am sorry, Sunny. Best of luck for finding the best doctor (magician) for her.
Good morning. I got lots of sleep for me. I don't know what I will do with my day yet. But I plan on productive something.

I too wish you the best in finding your GG a good Dr., so as to help her. It is extra sad when little ones are not well.

I got sleep but I would have liked more, just on general principals. But, I woke with a sinus headache. the best course for me in that situation is to get up so my head will drain. Headache is now gone. I think I may well go visit my Sister today. I have not seen her in quite a while.

I wish everyone a great day as well.

I am so afraid it will get worse. Very afraid. And I'm so glad your garden produced this year.
I have potatoes on to boil. I am not sure what is going to go with them, but it's a beginning.

Yes the price of groceries scare me as well. And then I just read where Social security is not going to go up, or if it does it will not go up much--then the cost of Medicare will end up going way up. Rod will go on Medicare & such next year. As he is still working I think his time period for signing up will change. At least I will be 65 before he retires...Hopefully that will help us.

If prices keep going up Rod may well have to Learn to LIKE beans, as that may well be one of the few sources of protein that we can afford. Luckily I love beans. This economy is crazy.

Perhaps we may well add some soil to a place or 2 in the back yard & plant potatoes & such like I used to do.

Beans have even gone up. About a dollar per pound over the last 5 years, give or take. Canned beans have more than doubled in the last 10 years. Cheap proteins like milk, cheese and eggs are never referred to as cheap proteins any more. It's scary out there.
By Carol, "Perhaps we may well add some soil to a place or 2 in the back yard & plant potatoes & such like I used to do."
Good plan. Your wallet will enjoy it as well as your stomach.

Very true, Tina....Now I have a year to talk Rod into spending the money on soil for our back yard. it is so low, I think potatoes would rot if we planted them out back.

Supper, a packaged chicken alfredo boxed dish, is in the oven. I hope it is good--it was sure easy and not that costly.

I guess I will open a new CH..see you all over in the new one......CH 2415
