Happy birthday to your GG, Sunny! Good morning. I am going out today and finish up some things and gas up my car. But that is about all I have on my list. I hope all have a great day.

Well this evening, I put down the new Mulch that I bought--sadly I only bought 1 bag (2 cu ft.) and I should have bought 2. I am thinking of buying a 2nd bag tomorrow night--we shall see.
Goodnight everyone. Sweet Dreams

Sunny, hope the party was fun. I love birthday cake.
Junie, when will you get your lab results? I got mine the other day and my white count is a little low but everything else is good. I never seem to buy enough mulch at one time so I've started sending Johnny because he'll buy way more than me. Guess he can gauge some better with the eye.
Tina, what is the price of gas in your area? We're at $2.09.

Good morning. Sheri, the cheapest gas in town is $2.56 per gal. according to gas buddy. I didn't know because Jonni has filled the tank the last couple of times. I had to look it up. I may ask her to do it again today. I like that it's Tuesday and Carol is probably at ceramics. Have a great day all.

Hi all,
Its official our house is for sale and under contract., hopefully nothing goes wrong with inspection and appraisal and we will be out of here the end of August.. we have almost everything packed , except stuff we need till the end... so we will see .... we had 8 people look at it Fri, first ones made and offer and then had the nerve to ask us for 20 grand less cause there is no sprinkler system, we never claimed to have one... so they backed out.. last one called and asked to put in contract for more than asking and their financing is already done.. so keeping fingers crossed nothing goes wrong , want to just get it done.

Yep it is Tuesday, and I went to ceramics. Then Rod & I both had our hair cut tonight...so here I am now.
We went to get another bag of mulch tonight at Walmart--what they had left was gone, so Rod said he would take me to the Lowes in Edwardsville (where we were for our hair cuts) but it was already his bed time & we had a 30 minutes drive home, so I said to skip it. See, we will have a late night out tomorrow night as well, so I thought to let him get his rest.
Gas is $2.11 a gallon in the town closest to us (Staunton) and $2.37 to $2.39 in Edwardsville.

Hi all. I spent the last two days running grandboy to different doctors until I finally got antibiotics for him. He has two ear infections, a throat infection and a sinus irritation....a kid that sick needs treatment, a stubborn Grammie wins in the end Off to catch up..

So glad you finally got your GS some treatment. Multiple infections are rough on a child.
I remember my oldest DD had a kidney infection (a bladder infection had gotten worse from non treatment) a throat infection & a severe ear infection. Thing is she did not feel bad, and while she had high fevers in the mornings, in the afternoons her temperature was back to normal.
YAY for stubborn Grammies !! I hope your GS feels better soon.

I am glad you got your grandson fixed up, Sunny. Good morning. I forgot to come in and say good night last night. I must have been tired. But I slept well and should get a few things done today so that is good. I hope everyone has a good Thursday.

Glad the house is showing interest Nana...hope it sells fast.
Gas is down to $4.40 here...well as of last Friday, we'll get the new price tomorrow.
Supper dishes are soaking and I have a peach cobbler in the oven. Fresh peaches are hard to get here...DH will be happy.

ah fresh peaches---they are a wonderful thing. As are orchards. here I do not trust grocery store peaches....you never know if they are good until you get home & then it is too late no matter how they are. I have 3 single servings of peaches for eating in my freezer as I type.
Glad you have a fresh cobbler to eat YAY for you all !!!!

Yes, I agree, I too hate to see the season end. I so miss "the farm" it had my garden, my Blackberry bushes, and my fruit trees.
ah well, it is what it is.

Have fun, Carol. I wonder if my kids would like mustard beans, Sunny. They sound like something they would like. Good morning. I slept well but I'm tired already. I had very busy dreams that left me tired. I don't really remember them just being terribly active before I woke. I will go out and bank today. A kind of leisurely activity. Maybe the store for a couple of items for the weekend. Just a lazy day.

I better stop complaining about my $2.00 gas Sunny. Yesterday at the movie theater I paid $5.40 for a bottle of Dasani water. I usually have a bottle in my purse but didn't. That will teach me. I can't imagine what mustard bean preserves will taste like. Have fun Junie. I pulled up a few pitiful looking squash plants this morning. I went ahead and put out more seeds so we'll see what happens.

Tina, mustard beans are delicious. It is a sweeter mixture than a mustard pickle, but the along same idea. They are made with part brown and white sugar. It goes great with pork.
I can't imagine paying over $5 for a bottle of water...that is outrageous Sheri.
Glad you had fun Junie.
Not sure what today holds, it is raining...I'll either go today or tomorrow to see Grandboy as well.

Good morning.
Today is an appt. to be informed about supplemental insurances....it will be good to get some information. I like to know what my nest options are.
My youngest DD & her family are on their way home for a stay. They let me know they were stopping here to drop things off & to pick up my inflatable bed so they can use it for one of the boys. So, I offered to make supper for them. of course they said yes.

Good morning. I have been up for hours. But not getting much done. Getting informed on supplemental ins. Is good, Carol. It can literally be a lifesaver. Have a great dinner with your grandsons and family. I will go out today and get something done. Hopefully before it gets hot. I wish you all a nice Saturday.

Junie there are so many supplemental insurances. I spoke to a woman who took Johnny's medication and figured out which insurance would pay the most and when it's time we're going with what she said. It's so confusing to try and do on my own. I can give you her info if you want.

well thanks...and yes it is IS confusing..and the "advantage plans they have are restricting to a very small area...and no one mentions that. Thankfully this lady I spoke to did.
and I will keep that in mind, but that is what these people we are going to see are supposed t do. I have a list of my medications in my purse as we speak.

Good morning.
.Beautiful day out, and I have new mulch, but I only slept 4 hours last night, so I think I may do housework today. Well that and if I am lucky, I might catch a nap....
The 2 older boys are coming to stay the night tomorrow night---then I will keep them both all of Tuesday. It will be a LONG, but fun, time. Too bad Grandpa will have to go to work Tuesday....

I cannot rest tomorrow, Tina---I have to go Birthday gift/Baptism gift shopping. Then I will need to go grocery shopping..hopefully I will get home in enough time in order to catch a nap. But yes, you are most certainly correct in your assessment.
Sheri, thanks, I sure will have fun.
I too am a very tired person...Sweet Dreams It is off to bed with me as well,

No she did not--she is a different duck. She hung out here all day---(a lot of the time by herself)---and it would have been NICE to be here with her---but no, she KNEW I had shopping to do and only 1 day to do it, BUT if I had of known that she was coming I could have had Rod take me shopping yesterday afternoon so today would have been free and we could have visited. But oh well.

How do you preserve cukes? I only know of pickling them. that's what I meant...sorry for the mix up. I just said preserves because I make different varieties at the same time.

Home made pickles are lovely, Sunny. Straight pickling or fermented. After tomorrow your grandkids are going to be around and spend a few days, Carol? I got more done today than yesterday. I will get there. Sweet dreams all.

OH MY !! I LOVE pickled beets. I have even found a recipe to make them one pint at a time..(I love them Rod, not so much )
Yes Tina, The 5 of them are coming here at some point Thursday and then will stay Thurs/Fri/Sat night. I assume we will be making cakes for the party.
All gifts bought----now to wrap them & put cash in cards....

Just got a text......Surprise (NOT) My DD & her DH want to go shopping or (to my mind) just out for the day & so they asked me to watch "the boys" when I was done with my errand. She can't (or won't tell me what time) so after she said she would call me with a time, I said I would text her when I was home...
I LOVE having the kids, and am very happy to help her--she is left alone with NO help when she is back in Virginia,-----what I do not love is how she does things--she knows what she is doing, & when, BUT, she will go to great lengths to NOT tell me anything until the very last moment, and even then tries to be vague about things...this is very frustrating to me.
I am going to let the laundry finish & then do the dishes. I am then off to bed, so I can get a good night's sleep
Sweet Dreams you all.

YAY for errands----(& their completion)
I wrapped all of my gifts & straightened up the basement some this morning. Thank goodness that is done--the boys played with doll houses while I did that.

Ladies & gents:
I am closing down the computer and then I will likely NOT be back until say Sunday night or Monday Morning. Valarie & her family are coming and I will need the dining room table clear & that is where I keep my Laptop...(Rod & I do not use the dining room table). YAY for both of my Daughters/their spouses & the 7 littles.
So, I will be thinking of you all and I will see you soon.

Change of plans....funeral will be Monday instead.
They are having a children's 'chocolate bar bingo' today as part of a community fundraiser. I'm not sure how it works but I have a grand daughter begging me to take her this afternoon.

That sounds like fun, Sunny. A lovely way to spend a Sunday. Good morning. I've been up awhile reading online stuff. I read my way into a headache. So I'll get something else done now. I hope all have a super Sunday.

about 12:06: OH JOY !! It has begun & I saw the beginning--YAY !!
12:47: So glad that I went out earlier--I thought it was getting darker, but nope--it was getting overcast..(GRRRRR)
12:55--1:10-ish : the sky cleared just around the sun--and I saw an almost totality (no corona?) M in my location, complete with the Cicada or was it crickets, and I also had hummingbirds buzzing around me--then it began to leave----now it is lightly raining so I guess I am done--but hey, I got to see most of it and I am one happy lady. !!!

Hi all. DH is gone to run errands as I told him I am going nowhere today GG and I picked over two gallons of pole beans to blanch and freeze for Winter...today's chore. I feel so blessed to be storing ahead such as we are. A special thank you once again to Junie for finding my special seeds for me. We planted half and saved half for next year...and I will leave beans over ripen on the vine to save seeds for other years.

Morning,
I hope your gs is better soon Sunny, I remember those days of spending more time in a docs office than not... it does pass eventually... we still haven't heard if the people who want our house approved of all the fixes they wanted or if our appraisal met our price...hopefully today... Carrie is coming over today to help pack up stuff and move boxes from basement to garage..I can pack boxes but can't carry or go up and down stairs multiple times... foot swells and gets very painful still..
we didn't see the eclipse , didn't have glasses... we did see it on tv and pics posted online....
Well I have a basket of laundry to fold and put away, got to figure out what to keep out, we are packing truck up Sun and moving to a hotel till end of month, have to be here till 30 to sign papers, then we can go.

You are welcomed, Sunny. I saw them so I just HAD to get them for you. So glad they grew well.
Good Job on sending DH out to do the errands, Sunny. men need to find out just how much work doing such as that is.
I wish you lived close to me, Sunny. With the kids gone, I have about 2 dozen quart-sized freezer containers that I need to get rid of. For jsut the 2 of us, pint-sized containers work best. Those I have kept.
Nana...so nice to hear from you, and sounds as if everything is going well. Glad to hear it.

LOL well sorry for that, Sunny. But at least you have new livestock now...
about the zip top bags with the air removed...back in the day, Ziploc put out Vacuum bags with a pump esp. made to suck out the excess air. I kept my pump & bought 2 extra boxes of bags (1 qt. sized & 1 gallon sized box). Well, I have not seen the pumps or the refill bags for years----and they worked SO very nice---oh well.
It rained this morning but then we had a beautiful day weather-wise.
