Hi All,
I did ask Tiago if he could help with this but he can’t. He did tell me one thing to try but it did not work. So will just keep trying different times of the day and see if I can get on here.
I do miss the pool. I wish that we would have hired someone to come and clean and show us how to do it. I think that was our main problem. Ron did not want to do that I think he just wanted to get rid of the pool. I was really tired of hearing him complain about cleaning it out. So it was one of those battles that was not worth fighting. The kids did not want to help clean it out so we gave it to one of them.
I really like all the memes that you posted. They are really funny. I cannot believe that snake that was in that house. I would be afraid to come in the house if that big thing was in my living room. That is really creepy.

Hi Adele, How is Marissa? I hope that she is doing better. It is so hard to get back to normal after being sick. If it is not one thing it is another. I really like all the things that you have on your porch. I did not know that QVC sold such cute things for outside. I guess that I need to watch more of those shows. I have not been watching the Q that much lately. They seem to be boring. I found a lot of different food to taste. I really like David’s cookies. They have really good sugar free treats. We bought a sugar free cake and it is really good. Their cookies do also. They are a lot better then Cheryl’s.
How are you doing? Did your hip pop back into place or did you have to call the doctor? I hope that you are getting around better and the pain is gone.
Not a whole lot going on here. So I guess that I will get off here. Talk to all of you next time I can get on here. Have a good day and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
You sure did a lot of work planting. Your deck looks really nice. Your rooster and the cart on your table. Did you get those from qvc? Your phone takes really good pictures. My phone is old and does not work as well as it use to. Ron has a newer phone and he got his from Verizon also.
I finally got on here this morning. I just have to wait until it will let me on here. I do not know what is going on with it.

Hi Gail,
We do not have the pool any longer. Mandy took it and it is in her garage she can not put it up the land lord will not let her. It was hard to clean out and the cover did not fit right and it fell into the pool and we could not get the levels right after that.
I will look that site up and see what they have. I need to do something again and keep busy. I need to start reading again. I have not been reading as much. I go thru spells like that.
Ron went to a funeral the other day and he could not fit in his suit. It was not too big he was too big for it. He won’t go and get a new suit he says he will lose the weight. So I guess I will have to go to Penny’s and try and find him some dress pants. Just getting a sports jacket might be a good idea. He is stubborn and it is hard to get him to do anything.
We do not have a due date for the baby. She still has not seen the doctor. She will go and see her on the 16th I think or maybe it is the 15th. I can’t keep track of all the dates for seeing doctors.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great day and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
Brook is doing okay. She still does not know her due date. She goes to the doctor on the 16th. I have no idea why it is taking so long to get in unless we are going to have another baby boom. lol
I would like to see the cover of the magazine and I can send for it. I need to do something around here instead of just sitting. It seems like we have been in the house for a long time.
We had a lot of rain here and it has been really chilly. I do not know when we are going to warm up again. I would like to have some warm weather but not really hot. I guess that I am getting really picky now.
How is Amanda doing? I hope she is feeling better and over losing the baby. It is hard to go thru. I am glad that she was there for Memorial day. Is she living there again or has she moved? MY grandsons have been texting me lately. It is funny. Owen just got his cell phone and he is really excited about it. It is fun when they text because they really do not have a lot to say.
Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
I do not remember that show with Jane Tracey. I very seldom watch the jewelry shows because I do not wear it. All I wear is my wedding ring and that is it. My finger breaks out from wearing it. They did do some really fun things on there. Remember all the fun they use to have doing the Irish shows. They would have dancers and a group playing Irish music. I can remember they use to set it up like you were in a Pub.
Grayson is a little character. He gets around rally fast and it is hard to pick up behind him. He likes to clear the coffee table all the time. He just starts picking things up and throwing it in the floor. He does not care if we tell him no but he is getting a little better about picking things up. It takes a while before he does it but he will do it.
It is funny how we go to the doctor together now. When we were younger we never went together. We have different doctors so they do not do anything for us at the same time.
We cannot grow melons either. We had a pumpkin start to vine out once but it was where we threw seeds in the compost pile. We only had one and it did not get very big. Ron wants to grow blueberries again. We did not have much luck with them either. I guess that Ron does not want to give up. We are not having much luck with our cucumbers either. We have had to replant the seeds. We just planted more and hope these will come up.
Have a good night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
Sounds like you a good Memorial Day. I wish we could have seen all the girls but it just did not work out that way. It was a good day to grill because we finally had a warm day and no rain. Today it is raining and really cold again. This weather is crazy.
I will write all those places down and see if we can stop and see them. Especially the old western town. That would be interesting. I am not sure if we will go to Mount Rushmore or the badlands. It seems like the badlands would be really hot. I wonder if they have put up any attractions there.
It is terrible that Kids do not know about the Holocaust. Kids need to know about history and what has happened in the past. I do not understand why i they do not teach it in school or their parents do not teach them about it. It is just really sad.
Well that is about all from here. Glad that you got to spend time with the grands and Jenny. It is so much better when you can be with your family.
Have a great day and stay safe.

Hi DD,
You can give Hallie my information also. We want to be sure everyone is okay and doing well. I hope we never find out about another friend on here like we did Sue.
Your dinner sounds really good. Corn on the cob is kind of high here right now. It was 40 cents an ear here. I guess that I am just cheap. It should come down in price soon. This weather is crazy here. We will not have any tomatoes in our garden until the end of June or the middle of July. The weather is warm on day and cold the next. We have had to replant the cucumbers twice.
Hi Adele,
We grilled today also. We had pork steaks, cheddar stuffed sausages and hamburgers. Mandy came over and brought Brook and Grayson with her. Grayson is into everything and gets around really fast. I could not believe that he can get into so much is such a small amount of time. He eats everything you put on his plate. He is really getting to be a big boy. I can hardly pick him up.
I really like your glass case and coin purse that you made. I wish that I had your talent. I am not good at making anything any more. I use to do latch hook but they do not have that around any longer
Hi Gail’
I agree with what you posted. I hope that people remember why we celebrate this day. They did some interviews on the street and they were asking young people why we celebrate Memorial day. They did not know. All they knew is that it was a day off of work. That is just so sad.
I hope you had a good day today.
I hope all of you have a great night and stay safe.

Hi DD,
I wish that you could give one of us a number or some way we can make sure that you are okay. There has to be away. What about the people that manage the apartment building where you live. I really am concerned and do not want this to happen again. We want to make sure that we can send you flowers and make sure people know that you are cared for and loved as a friend. I hope that we can figured this out.
That is funny about Snowball. You are lucky that she did not get in the elevator. She knows how to get attention when she wants it. She must be hard to catch once she takes off. She is really a lot of company and that makes it nice.
It is really cold here so we cannot go outside and do much. I do not think that we will be able to do anything outside this week-end. How is Critt? Will you two get together for dinner this week-end? It would be nice if you could.
I wrote most of what is going on in my post to Gail if you want to read it. Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
Sue was on here before I was. There was a whole different group on here then. They just came and went. I think this group now has been on here the longest. I am glad because we have made friends and all care about each other. I wish that we had a better way to keep track of Sue and DD. It would be nice if we could just get on here every day and just say Hi I am ok. That way if we do not hear anything from someone for awhile we can check on them. We can let each other know on our other web sites because right now I can not get on here every day.
We were supposed to have a picnic today with Ron’s family but it was so cold we had to move it inside. e had a really nice day and a lot of good food. It was good to see all the nieces and nephews. My kids could not come. Mandy and Brook had to work, Kylie went to six flags and Danyielle had already made plans. Hopefully they will all be there for the Christmas dinner. It was just fun to see every one. All the great nieces and nephews are so tall and getting older.
That will be strange not being able to eat a good breakfast at the motel. We will find a place to eat breakfast at a restaurant. I like yogurt but have to have something else to go with it or my sugar will drop. That will seem weird. We are wanting to go to South Dakota. Ron wants to see the crazy horse statue. I do not know what else he wants to see I have not looked to see what else there is to do there.
I hope that Greg and his buddies will be able to go to Canada again and go fishing. They should lift the band from people going into Canada. It would be nice if they could go.
I hope that you got together with Jenny and the kids. I know that it is cold outside here. I wish it would get warmer but it is supposed to get down to 42 tonight. I hope that it does not do damage to the garden. I hope it doesn’t ruin your plans for the week-end.
Well that is about all from here. Hope you have a great evening and stay safe.
Colleen
