Hi DD,
I am glad that the smoke is gone. It is about time it clears out. It is nice tat it has cooled down there also. You really had a lot of heat there. It is terrible that they do not have a way that you can have air conditioners in your apartments. It seems like they could have central air in the building. I hope losing those two people will get them to do something about getting central air. You need that air when it gets that hot. I am sorry about the two people that have died. Did you know them? That is just so sad.
I really like all the houses that you posted. As hot as it has been the house with all the frozen trees and snow around it looks inviting. I could stay there for awhile. I hope that we have some really cold weather this winter maybe not all the ice though. All of the pictures that you post are so pretty. I love the ones with all the houses.
I saw the lanterns that Valarie was selling. I really did not need them so I did not order them. I have three lanterns around the house so if the electric goes out we can at least turn them on. They give off enough light to see to get around the house.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
Your trip sounds interesting. That is terrible that they did not tell you this place just had a window air conditioner and central air. I would be very disappointed and ready to go home. You really have to be careful when you book a place. The storm was really a surprise. Poor Jenny that is horrible to be that afraid of storms. I am so glad that you got her calmed down. That would be really nice if you can take the kids up north. They will really enjoy being in the cooler places and be able to swim.
The meme about how it use to be when we were kids. I can remember having to be in the house when the street lights came on. I also remember the ice cream truck coming every evening and we would run to meet it and get an ice cream. My mom would not give us money every time but when she did we were really excited. Did you ever just lay around in the yard and look at the stars. We could do that or sit on the porch swing. We were all so care free and had such a good time. We did not want to sit inside and play on computers and cell phones. We did not have them to worry about. I wish that our kids could have had fun like that. Well my grand kids more then my kids.
I did not order any of the Fall decorations or Halloween. I have a lot now and do not know what my kids will do with all of that. Maybe the two younger ones will want the things that I have because I know that my oldest does not want any of it. She does not put out a lot of decorations for any holiday.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
I have started wearing a hat when I go outside. It does not seem that hot. We went to the 4th of July festival and did okay in the heat. I am looking forward to the Memorial day festival. We always have a good time at that one. They always have a lot of different booths and a lot of interesting people there. I like the music there also. They have different types.
Grayson is getting big. I cannot believe how big that he is getting. He is really a solid built little boy. I do not see how Brook can pick him up. The doctor told her not to pick him up as much but it is hard for her not to. He is still so young and likes to be held and cuddled.
Are your grand kids ready to go back to school? Mine are not wanting to go back. Ethan and Kaylee are back in school already and I am not when Owen and Aliza go back. Danyielle was telling me all the thing that she had to get for Aliza for school supplies and it was ridiculous. She had to have five boxes of markers and 18 glue sticks and all types of things like that. I could not believe how much it cost her to buy supplies just for Aliza and she is in kindergarten. She said that it cost less for Owen the Aliza.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
Grayson just comes to me because I have cookies. He always eats when he is at my house also. I always send fruit home with him also. I have to laugh at him and the way he says apple. He really likes any type of fruit and we always have all types of fruit here. So find what food he likes and he will come to you every time. lol
Bunnies are like deer. They can get into any fence and they eat everything. The one thing that amazed me about the deer is they will eat the roses. I thought the thorns would keep them from trying to eat them. I wish that there was a way to stop them.
How is Gary doing? I hope that he is feeling better. Did he have to go to see the doctor? I have to go and see the eye doctor tomorrow and it is supposed to take two to three hours. I really hope that they are wrong on how much time it takes. I hate being in any doctors office for that long.
We have not tried grilling asparagus but we do grill zucchini. Fresh vegetables are really good when you grill them. We do that a lot of times when we grill steaks or any type of meat. It is really good roasting it like that.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi All,
Well today was a boring day. It was one of those days that there just was nothing going on. They were not having any shows going on or auctions r anything like that. It is not a good time of the year for anything to be going on.
There is supposed to be a new shot out now for covid. It is supposed to take care of all the different types. Especially this new type. I think it is like taking prednisone for so many days. I sure hop that we do not have to take these pills now.
Gail, Ron still does not have the car port done. He will have to go pick up Kylie and have her help. I hope that he gets it done before it gets really hot again. Thank-you for the prayers for Brook. She does need a lot of help to see what this guy is like. Grayson is really growing up. He is getting so heavy that he is hard to pick up. he does not get upset if I do not pick him up he will wait until I sit down and crawl up in my chair. If I am standing I have to bend at the knees and pick him up like you would pick up a heavy box. He is just really solid.
Adele, I saw the picture of your hostas. They are really pretty. How are all your family doing? We are doing ok here. I have not seen Aliza and Owen for awhile. I was hoping that they would come and visit this week-end but it might have been Owen’s week-end with his dad. I really hate that he has to split his time with his dad and mom. That is how it is though. Old arthritis is hitting all of us. I get tired of having to fight with it. My hands are looking weird these days. They are all swollen an getting curved.
Adele I do not think that you are going to have to worry abut alone. Your children are always coming in and out you have a loving family.
DD, I hope that the smoke has cleared now and you can breath some fresh air. The candy corn reminds me of when we were kids. my grandma use to have them in a candy dish all the time. We always knew that it would be there when we came to visit. I like all the pictures that you post. This year if flying by. I cannot believe that Christmas is creeping up on us. Last year at this time I had a lot of gifts bought so I did not have to worry. This year I have only one for my youngest granddaughter. I only have six more grand kids to buy for and my kids.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
It is really sad that Sue had to die that way. It is horrible that she was there for a few days before she was found. I just hope that the rest of the people that are on this site have family to watch over them.
We are supposed to get some rain here this week-end but we need it. We go from a lot of rain to hardly any. It is going to get really hot here again next week. I really hope that they are wrong. It seems like when it is time for the kids to go back to school it starts to get really hot again. The poor kids have to go to school in the heat.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
Thank-you for the prayers for Brook. She needs all the prayers that she can get. She came over to night and brought the baby. He is so cute and gets into everything. The first thing he wanted was crackers. He ate some of them and then he ate a cookie. He was still looking around for food so I asked him if he wanted an apple. He smiled really big and kept saying apple apple. He took it and tried to bite into it but he couldn’t so we took it back so we could peel it. He was funny he was not happy at first. but when he saw we were going to peel it he was a lot happier then. He ate all but one piece and then he ate some mac and cheese. He ate a lot of it. He must have been really hungry.
That is good that Tillie is coming upstairs for dinner. She is having a hard time getting use to that chair lift. I hope she gets use to it soon. She may never like it though she seems to have made up her mind.
That is sad that she did not have anyone to know what to do with her things. I think about DD and at least she has Hallie around to take care of things for her. It is so sad when people do not have anyone it is really hard. People do not check on their neighbors anymore. They really need to have some person to be around. It is just so sad.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Ladies,
Well I finally got back on this site. I am having trouble again. I do not know how to fix this permanently. It comes and goes and I just have to hope it works.
Gail I love the memes that you posted. I love the one telling the parent where they can find their child. I know I have felt that way with some of the smart kids that I have seen in stores.
I wonder if anyone told them on Quacker factory that Sue has passed. I noticed that her birthday was posted today. I will post something to Tiago and maybe they can get it taken off so it will not be there again next year.
Brook is not waking up. She has moved in with him again. He did not come back to see her until she got a car. He will do like he did before. He will use her car to go see his girlfriends and after he wrecks it he will take off again. He is such a jerk.
I will always remember your birthday Gail. There will be a lot more people to remember on that day.
It is warm here today. Ron is trying to put a carport up. It is big enough for two cars. He makes sheds for all his tool but instead of building a garage he puts up a car port. I have got to quit complaining it will be nice to have it.
I think that there are things wrong this site. Things like that have been happening a lot here lately. You never know for sure if you what you write will post. It is just acting up.
DD I hope that Halle is feeling well now. I also hope that Critt is doing well. Adele I hope that Tillie is coming upstairs now and eating with the family. It just seems like so many people are having problems.
I watched some of the CIL shows. I ordered that bat man that flies just by moving your hand. I think that Aliza will have fun with that. I had thought that I would get one for the other kids to play with so they could play with them on Christmas day.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great day and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
Well I am going to try this again. I wrote to you and tried to post it and it said that I was not signed in. I knew that I was signed in because I did the birthdays and they all posted. I could not get on here yesterday at all. I just hope that this is not going to start acting up again.
It was nice that the kids got to see their aunt. I have a niece that lives in California but she is moving back home this summer. She has cancer and that is why she is wanting to come back home. We will all be glad to have her home again.
I tried to get my daughter to call the police but she would not do it. Brook was still in high school when she got pregnant. So she was under age. If it was my daughter I would have called the police if I did not throw him out of the house. I do not under stand the parents of these girls.
I really like your new costume. I could keep from laughing you will be the hit of Halloween. You will have a lot of kids just coming to see your costume. I like the eye glass case and the coin purse. They are really cute.
How is Steph doing? I hope that her and Johnny are still together. Those girls have had a rough year. They are lucky to have you around to help them thru this.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.
