Thanks Junie.

Stay safe Sheri...a little snow is just as dangerous, if the area is not used to it. Tell DH if he doesn't fix the generator that you will use his money to buy a new one lol

Tina, a bare roof is scary. I pray the weather cooperates until the new roofing is applied. Do you use asphalt shingles there?

I took a nasty fall on the ice yesterday....(while going to the shed to get the salt, to melt the ice where I ended up falling. egad ) My sternum is so sore that I had a hard time to breathe yesterday, I woke up to stiffness and aching in my left shoulder area...front and back. DH has given me a lecture to sit and rest for the day.

Good Morning !

Sounds as if you need to follow your DH's advice, Sunny. Better to be safe than sorry.

Temps still at 1*F. Silly thing is the temps are forecast to go up to 40*F tomorrow...crazy.

Yes, Sunny. Asphalt shingles on the peaked portions and rolled asphalt on the less angled parts. All over tar paper.
Keep warm everyone!
Good morning. I think I will wish everyone a warm Wednesday. It seems like a proper theme for the day.
And stay safe!

I bet asphalt shingles take a beating there with the heat, Tina.

It is snowing here...just the light, big flaked, 'looks pretty' kind.

Sorry for the fall Sonny. And I keep saying I'm going to call and have a generator connected to our house and I think now I'll do it for sure.

We've gotten more than 4 inches of snow and it's still snowing. Supposed to be in the 40's tomorrow though so it won't last long.

We're still snowbound. Sort of nice to be forced to stay home. The main roads are clear but we're rural so our back roads are a mess.

Yes, sometimes it can fool you. When I went out last week, Rod told me to watch the ice. Well Worden had had bad roads, but everyone else had clear dry roads....ya gotta wonder about some towns road comissions.

Glad you got your roof on Tina. Are you expecting rain?

We've still got some snow on the ground but it's supposed to be in the 40's today and I think in the 50's tomorrow. Schools have been closed for 3 days so I hope this is all we get for the winter or they'll be having class into the summer. Shelley was talking about the difference of playing in the snow in the country as opposed to the city. Shelley's gang is pulled around by a four wheeler over miles of land rather than sliding down a hill on a sled. Darbi, being at college, was going down a hill on a trash can lid and cardboard. Where there's a will there's a way.

Sheri: tell Darbi to "borrow" a cafeteria tray at her college & use that for a sled. They work amazingly well.

Glad the roof repair is a good one Tina.

When we were kids, we had a neighbor who took a car hood and dismantled it. He then rounded the edges and we used that for sliding. We'd all pile on and take the slide of our lives...good memories. The worst part was having to haul it back up the hill. lol

These days we use 'crazy carpets'...nothing like a 4 ft sheet of 'weigh nothing' to carry back up.

It is storming at the moment..another 6 inches.

Congrats on the good roof repair, Tina. I am happy for you.
Sunny, yay for good memories. I think we as kids had a better childhood than kids do today. JMO, but hey......
Also sorry for the "once again" snow. spring/Summer needs to get here ASAP.

Rod has left for the day, I need to get going to run errands and get them out of the way. It is supposed to be nice this afternoon, and I really should go out and cut back my lirope. It is time for that.

Errands done. Lirope is cut back. It looks to as if it needs to be dug up and divided. So, this so this spring I will do just that,

Lovely weather here today. I didn't even need a coat and tomorrow is supposed to be 66° tomorrow. So crazy.

We don't cut our lirope back until February. I think it always needs to be divided. It's a furious multiplier. Wish beautiful flowers would do like that.

Well this time the dividing times out well. We are going to move at some point, so I intend to put up 2 or 3 pieces of my lirope in pots in the spring. I can take it with me that way. I took my chive plant with me from the farm in the same manner. That too will be going with me once again.

It was nice here as well. A bit above 50*F. But all I had on was a jacket, and no gloves or hat.

NOTE:

it is now 10:16 pm

I am in to say good night & sweet dreams to you all wavy

I planted liriope before but it never over-wintered...it needs zone 5 at least. It was pretty though.

It is a cold day today, DH will have to do the snow clean up...I re-pulled the muscle in my back. I better heal quickly...we have a major storm ahead on Tuesday with almost 2 ft of snow to fall. I have no idea how I am going to be able to deal with it and the farm chores...DH will be at work for a 18 hour shift.

Any takers? lol

My bladder had me up around 5.
Good morning. I am nearly ready for a nap now.
Sunny, our temps were very moderate until a couple of days ago. Now we have nights in the low 40's that raise about 10 degrees during the days. Cold for me. I have to pass on hiring on as day labor.

If we were closer to you, Sunny, I would be sending Rod to help you. He is saying daily that he needs something to do.I am sure you could direct him.

It is around 56 now....I so wish this weather would make up its mind.

Christmas is still up. why

Good morning.
Today I will fill my tire up. (I have a slow leak) And take it off to the tire place and get it repaired. There is always something to do with a car.
I hope all have a good Monday.

Junie, maybe Rod should take the tree down :) But your probably like Johnny says I am and tell him he's doing it wrong.

I'm going to get my allergy shot today which means I have to take a Benadryl before I go so I'll be hung over this afternoon. I hate taking an antihistamine.

Rod went out with our Pastor today..& he was of the impression that he was going to be picked up at home here, so he removed all the ornaments & took the tree down to the basement for me....Then he went out & had to go to Pastor's house with his truck...but hey, my tree is down...

Hi all.

I started my day driving GG to school, their bus broke down and we were freezing waiting for another to arrive.

I then had an appt where I found out I am having spasms in my pulled muscle...I was starting to worry about the numbness in my fingers. A person learns something new everyday.

We are having a big storm tomorrow..it'll be a good day for baking.

Stay safe, Sunny.
We ordered pizza for dinner. I didn't get my tire patched today. They were slammed with work. I will try tomorrow.
It is a few degrees warmer today than yesterday.

I can't tolerate someone who is always late. What's that all about. Always. That said I'm looking for a new egg person.

Poured rain her all night long and the wind was scary strong. Kept waking me up. It's sunny and 62° today but the wind will still make your hair stand straight out.

Hope you get your tired fixed today Tina. We like pizza once in a while too. Vege pizza for me.

Bought some elderberry syrup today from a lady who has elderberry bushes and makes it herself. Hope it's as healthy as they say.

Do you buy all your eggs from a private farm Sheri?

Tina, I like restaurant Pizza as well...wish we could get it here.

It is snowing bad out there...it is a good day to be inside. I made a large pot of homemade spaghetti sauce...baking to follow in a few minutes.

We had one pizza place who would deliver up here. Then it was gone a few years ago. Recently another opened and it is ok. But not something I will do often.
I did not get my tire looked at today.
Now I've got to decide what is for dinner.

Funeral home? I missed something.

Today is the second storm day in a row with no school...I guess the kids are the only ones enjoying this mess. The roads are awful. I am glad that I have no where to go for a few days.

I hope you can get that tire fixed today, Tina.

64° yesterday and 41 today. Variety is the spice of life.

Colby has a fever and Shelley is freaking a little bit. She has PTSD and I don't blame her.

Stay safe Sunflowers. Tina hope you can get your tire fixed.

Junie come back and explain about the funeral home please.

I am so very sorry guys......A lady who was one of the girls main teachers when they were in Grade school, passed away last Saturday. She was a kind perosn and a great help to us over the years. One example (I had a c-section) I was not allowed to leave the house, & we had no bus service. In order for my Valarie to get to school on time, Rod had to take her 30 minutes before anyone was allowed on campus, so Bertha came to school early enough so there was someone there to watch Valarie. There are many more like examples. Her wake was last night and her funeral was today. AS I had a full plate today, we went to the funeral home last night to pay our respects to the family. She was a wonderful lady indeed.

I have a question for Sheri:
...........................................I had a fasting blood test today. It hurt the usual amount, but what was unusual is the horrible pressure I felt on my arm, and it lasted for around 10 minutes after she removed the needle. It still did not feel "right" after the 10 minutes, but l lot better. it is now (about 1 hr & 30 minutes later) just about back to normal.
Sheri, have you ever heard of such as that ?? I know I have never felt it before & I take blood tests every 4 months and also Vita D tests as well at other times.

I am off to the next errand.... wavy

Hi all.

Carol, I heard of that before....usually a few days later you will end up with large bruising in the injection site. Hope it is better today.

Laundry is calling my name for the day.

Good morning. I slept well.
Do you have bruising, Carol? Did you discuss the feeling with your phlebotomist? I hope you are well today.
I hope everyone is well.Have a great Thursday.

It does happen once in a while Junie. It is often from a phlebitis, which is an inflammation of the vein the blood was drawn from. Hope it's better today but if not warm wash cloth laid across your arm and a motrin will help.

Yes I told the phlebotomist. she acted like I was over-reacting, but she did remove the rubber band,,that did help a very small bit. Yes I have a bruise..not real big but I didn't have one yesterday so we will see what happens as time goes by, Thanks to all of you.

working on the house today..Lordy I miss Rod working..I cannot work with him here....

I wish you all a great day.

Yes, when John retired we had to make new arrangements around the house. He actually took on more of the chores until he went back to work. And he worked until he fell ill and couldn't any more.

Rod offered to do more around the house, I just had to ask--well I asked him to clean up after supper---he puts away bread & butter (I rarely use either) and he sometimes picks up the plates & if I wait long enough he will wipe the counter. He will not stack the dishwasher, put leftovers away nor hand wash what needs hand washed. I asked him to wash some dishes the other day & when I returned home, they were washed but I got berated for asking him to wash the dishes right before I left the house & how dare I expect him to clean the stove...and as a further example he offered to help me when I was cooking supper tonight..well, by the time I woulds ask him to do something then tell him how to do it, and tell him where to get all that he needed to do the task, I am sure I could do it myself faster.. PLUS if he went into a cabinet to get say the forks, they had better be laying right in plain site and easy for him to find .
Mind you we have lived her since December 26th 2004, and no I have never changed where I keep my things....

so he thinks he would help but in reality no,....at least not often.

Yes, I cannot remember what the name of it is, but my kids all tried that on me in their teens.For instance, If they were cutting vegetables for salad and it wasn't done on time, we would sit down to eat and let them finish. Salad is just as good after a meal as it is for starting one. Or it is still their turn for dishes even if there is a second days worth. If I continued living my life, they would catch up. Jonni is still the worst roommate I've ever had.
Sweet dreams all.

The joys of kids and men. lol

Grandboy followed DH home yesterday, he went to visit for a few minutes while running and errand. Then on the drive home G-boy gave him a lecture that he was not allowed to drive Grammie's car grin

I'll take him back later and run a few errands on the same trip.

Glad to hear I am not the only one, Tina. Rod will not change. I think he has been this way his whole life, & so thinks his is reacting correctly.

Shame on your DH for driving your car. LOL It is good that you have your Grandboy watching.

I dislike winter for many reasons, but one of the main ones is the slant of the sun. For several hours in the morning, the sun hits right in my eyes while e sit and drink my coffee.

Passive/aggressive! I woke up in the middle of the night remembering the word(s).
I went to bed chewing over my forgotten words and they popped back in during the night. It happens to me often.
"Specific signs of passive-aggressive behavior include: Resentment and opposition to the demands of others. Procrastination and intentional mistakes in response to others' demands. Cynical, sullen or hostile attitude".
Good morning.TGIF. Although the days of the week don't mean the same to me these days. Today I will shop for the weekend and such.
I hope it is happy for all.

Yes, it is something most kids go through during their teens. But when it goes beyond the 'trial' era it is terrible to live with. I don't have any answers for it.

I wish you did....as an example on our youngest DD:
I got a Facebook message saying: " while I know you will be upset with me coming home next weekend and not coming to Worden, please remember that my friend is going thru a hard time and we just need to have a girls weekend."
Now, A) I said no such thing & B) She could have "come home" & not even told me. OR better yet, she could have let me know that she would be on a plane & coming home, but would not have any time to stop by.

I often ( all be it silently) thank God for my oldest child.

Yep, when I get any type of complement from said child, it is always a "left-handed" one.

This is sad to say but I would never let my daughter move in again...my nerves are not that strong. You are a strong woman Tina kissie

GG went to her mom's for a sleepover. Not sure what today's plans are...something will pop up I am sure.

YAY for warmth, Tina !!!

Rod needed change so he was willing to go to the grocery for me to get some Sweetened Condensed Milk. Plus since he did I can now make him a new dessert I found. I need to take a bath & then hopefully the butter will be soft enough to proceed.

It is called a fudge nut layer dessert. I would call it a "Homemade Fudge Jumble."
There used to be a box mix that made this do not remember if it was Betty Crocker or Pillsbury.

Rod does not like it, but he was smart enough to thank me for making him a dessert.

Totally understand because Johnny and I can't stand being in the house together for a long time. He doesn't like me bossing him around and if he's here for any length of time during the day I'm definitely going to start telling him what to do. He'll never retire and that's a good thing. I can't imagine that either of my girls would want to live with me for any length of time.

I think I'd like that cake Junie so I won't make it because I'd have to eat it all. Johnny is not a sweet eater.

Sunny I think it takes a lot of gumption to raise a grand child. I love mine but they exhaust me and I can't imagine them here all the time.

You and Tina both have me beat.

I think of Sunny often when we are down with the triplets. I think Sunny is quite the .. "Grammy.." .

I wish I was the one to tell Rod what to do..........

You do not truly be in the position to tell him what to do, Carol. That is a horrible position to put yourself in.
With Jonni, I mostly stick to her own messes. Will you clean the mess in the cast iron skillet from your grilled cheese sandwich? Will you clean your egg pan please? Will you pick up the tp that missed the trashcan in the bathroom? It may take 3 or 4 days but she gets around to it soon. I make her wash all her own dishes. I wash dishes for Teddy and I and any family meals I make. It works.

I want some of that dessert grin

I think we are all tough gals, we do what we have to...and complaining is allowed kissie

Yesterday we got a call that our old boss's barn fell in, (we used to work at his dairy farm) but he has since turned it into a beef farm. The cattle had to be moved to his brothers farm for the rest of the Winter. I just can't get over how stupid people are for not shoveling their roof.

DH is gone to help another farmer today, he had the weekend off and the phone hasn't stopped ringing. That's what happens when you are 47 and your friends are farmers in their 70's. I can thank these guys for never having DH underfoot lol

I have errands to run today with DD and the kids....GG stayed there for the weekend, first time in over a year. She said on a scale from 1 to 10 that Mommy was only a 3 for crankiness so she'd stay for a couple of days haha

That is funny, Sunny.
Good morning. I will get out to the store this morning. After that, the world's my oyster and I'll decide as I go along.
It is very windy and dry here. The red flags are up for fire danger.
I hope everyone has a good Sunday

Etsy was calling your name Junie? grin

GG was up half the night with a sore throat, then started coughing non stop coming on morning....another sick day here. I hate the fact that pediatricians refuse to take out tonsils now.

Cleaning, laundry and mopping is on the to-do list today.

No ceramics tomorrow. I have strained a muscle or some such.

Rod will do my grocery shopping tomorrow and who knows, perhaps even my laundry.

I am not real sure just how I hurt myself, Tina. The only thing I can suggest is that I pulled one of my 5 foot Rubbermaid containers up the 14 steps from the basement to repack my Christmas decorations into. So perhaps that did something to my body. Mind you I was fine when I got it up and all the while I did my packing. did not hurt until late that night..and was merely sore the next day. This gets worse every day...

off to sleep now--nite--nite

Tina, I'm going out today too. I have to get my allergy injection and might as well run a few errands while I'm out.

Good Morning !

Thanks, Sheri. I do not feel worse, so there is that. I have a Drs. appt. tomorrow, so perhaps I will
get some good news/help with knowing what is going on and what I can do to help.

Rod is going grocery shopping for us. I do not think this will end well.

Yikes..I hope you feel better soon Junie.

If I sent DH grocery shopping I'd have a cupboard full of chips lol

GG is home again today...sore throat and fevers. I hate school viruses.

Thanks, Sunny. The Extra-strength Tylenol is doing wonders. That and a girdle is helping a lot.

So sorry GG us still sick. I hope she recovers very soon.

Good morning. I had a rough time sleeping last night. So I am late to start my day.
The winds have stopped but the warmth they brought is here to stay the week. I like it although we need rain.
I hope GG gets well quickly. And you too, Carol.
I hope all have a good Tuesday.

Johnny always spends twice as much as I do when buying groceries. I'm eating a bowl of oatmeal. I try not to eat so many carbs in the afternoon but I wanted oatmeal so I cooked the old fashion kind and added honey, walnuts, real butter straight from the farm, and blueberries that I froze myself. Yummy.

Here that is the case most of the time. But today I could not stand very long at one time, never mind bend down to retrieve items from lower shelves.

I use margarine sticks in recipes Junie...butter is too expensive here for just everyday baking. Not sure on that brand though...here sticks come from Blue Bonnet.

It is freezing outside, we had a small storm through the night...enough just to make a mess.

GG had a dentist appt. for today that I had to cancel yesterday. I hate these fevers...I am hoping to get a doctor's appt. for her today.

Keep an eye out for the 'super rare blood blue moon eclipse' tonight. lol Werewolves will be out in abundance.

Good morning. I stopped using margarine for anything years ago. When the ingredients list got unpronounceable. I stick to butter or coconut oil for most everything.
I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

My husband's Dr. asked that he not ever eat any margarine. so I buy butter. a soft Butter for bread & sticks for cooking. used to use a 11% fat margarine for everything but after his Dr, said that I switched. I try to get it on sale & stock up in my freezer.

it is in the 40's today & sunny. I hear that by the weekend it will be in the 20's or lower.

I buy butter from a dairy farm not far from me. They make cheese too and until I tasted the real thing I didn't realize what I was missing. Same with eggs. I can't even eat a store bought egg now.

I'm not sure how cold we got last night but the water in the birdbaths was frozen this morning.

Sunny, seems that GG catches every virus coming and going. Hope she outgrows this.

I agree..I too am glad that I don't live there. I think Sunny's G G will outgrow the sicknesses. Well, actually I think she will get to a place where she had gotten most of the childhood diseases and will have built up immunity to a lot of them.

My mom used to buy hand made butter and fresh eggs. They were good to be sure. I wish I had access
