Hi Gail,
You can have Ron for awhile. You need to catch up on the news.lol You need to hear all of the primary results. It is important to hear what Carolina thinks of Donald Trump. I have heard more speeches then I care to hear. We hear what the losers have to say and the winners. It is always about the same.
After I got a good look at the vest am not sure that I want it. I do not like the lines going down the front. Maybe it is just me. I thought that it was going to be just a vest without all the extra things on it. It is also really short. It will show my elephant knees. So have to think this over again. It is hard to tell what it is going to look like in the magazine. If it came down a little more it would be so much better. I will have to think about it again. I have a hard time making up my mind.
June is not a good month to be in this area. Kansas or Missouri. The hot weather really starts to set in. It gets really humid here also. It is better if you can stay in a place where it is not as hot and not as humid. I guess it is good weather for the guys to play gold though. They do not have to worry about the weather as much. Just heat. You usually go shopping while they are golfing don’t you? Maybe you will find an inside mall and not get as hot. It is more fun going to the little shops though. We are going to go to Kimswick as soon as it is warm enough to go looking around. They have some new stores there that we have not been in yet. Cannot wait and explore.
I use to love the Carol Brunette show. Tim Conway was so good on there and really made everyone laugh. Even the cast. Were you still at home when your mom quit her job and worked for your dad at home? Your parents lived in some interesting places. Which place did you like the best? You did live in Chicago for awhile also didn’t you. We never lived anywhere but Missouri. I guess that is why my mom and dad always took us somewhere for vacation. That was the only time that we left the state.
Your brothers and sister must be a lot older then you are. Do you see them as much now that you are all older? It seemed like after my dad died that we all stop getting together as much. My oldest sister does not drive as much and does not like to go that far from home. She does go to Mom’s but that is the only place she will go. She use to drive a lot more when she was younger but now she just does not like to drive. All of her kids live in different states. So she is on her own. We really hoped that my mom and her would both live together. It would make more sense. My sister’s name is Sue Ellen. We all just called her Sue. My grandma’s name was Susan so I guess that is why they just called her Sue Ellen. She was named after my grandma. It would have gotten confusing if they called Susan and they both would answer. lol
Tony does get the bad dancers. He does need a break. He should get some of the dancers that Derek gets. He usually gets the really good dancers. He was talking about Bindy the other day on the Chew and said that she was such a fun person. She was so full of life and always smiling.
They are having rain again in the same area that flooded last time here. It all went around us. I am hoping that they do not get any flooding this time around. That would be a mess. They just all got cleaned up and reopened.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Adele,
I hope that you taped the Chew that had that guy from dancing with the stars. His name is Derek Hough. Carla went crazy over him. She wants to go on that show so bad. He was funny though. His sister will not be on the show this year not even to judge. I am not sure what she is going to be doing. It is just sad that she is not going to be on there again. She probably got tired of sitting next the wild man. I cannot think of his name. The one that throws his arms around fell off his chair that one time. She always has to sit next to him.
I feel bad about you for going to the tax man. I hate going there. It is not as bad as it use to be though. We do not have anything to claim anymore. That is one nice thing about retirement. There is a lot of things that we use to have to do that we do not have to do now. We just spend most of our time with the doctor. When is Gary going to have his surgery? It will be nice when they get that done with.
Well I hope that Steph and her family will come over on Sunday for Johnny birthday. It will be nice for you to see the kids and Steph. Seems like you see Johnny more then you do Steph right now. It is good that he brings JJ with him. That way you can see him.
I miss seeing Aliza. She is so sweet. She will grow more this time I am afraid. My middle daughter is going over there tomorrow and she will send me pictures of Aliza. She says she is going to be nice but i think that she is rubbing it in.lol
How Is your weather? It is in the 70’s here. Going to be the same tomorrow and then we are supposed to get cooler. We will see what happens. I am tired of the weather changing from one day to the next. This weather is crazy.
Not a whole lot going on here. Have not done much. So guess that I will sign off for now. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Gail,
The news shows are on. He has been complaining for about an hour now. I do not want to keep hearing all that stuff. That is why I am on the computer and not listening. That maybe why I am so against getting a lap top. Then he would keep wanting me to come in the living room and listen, This way I cannot. I just say I am busy on the computer. That man is driving me crazy. He has had a head ache for the last couple of days. I told him he is trying to cram all this knowledge in his head that he hears on the news. It is just not good for a person to know all that crap.lol Of course he will not listen to me.
The special value is a skort with a vest. It is 39.96 it come in a lot of colors. The item number is A273161 the colors are Heather Grey,white, lime punch, light navy, red and black. That is the scoop on the tsv. It is really cute. They show a stripe shirt with it and it looks really cute. It will be interesting to see how many will be in stock after they show them Friday night. I like the navy color. That would be the color that I want.
The temp here is going to be in the 70’s. It was 71 today and about the same tomorrow. Then it is supposed to cool down. We have had snow in spring before. I can remember having snow on Easter day. We were younger then and we were all dressed up to go to church and it got really cold. It was funny. Everybody was dressed in their Easter best with winter coats on.
No my mom did not work outside the home. My dad was a lawyer and his office was at the house so she would answer the phone for him and take messages. So that saved them money, He never had to hire anyone to do that for him. We also could not use the phone from about 8AM until 5PM. If we did we had to keep it short. Can you imagine trying to keep four girls off the phone during those hours. I felt sorry for my mom. She was in charge of all of that. By the time he could get a separate phone for his office we were all gone. well maybe not gone but old enough that we were either working full or part time and going to school. So we were not home that often.
There was always someone older to watch the others. My sister Sue was the oldest so she was the only one that ever had to have a baby sitter. Usually my grandma would watch us if Sue was busy. She was so much older then the other three of us. She was a war baby. So my second sister was not born until the war was over. She had it made. They lived with my grandma and grandpa while dad was over seas. So talk about getting anything she wanted. You would have thought she would have been a little bit spoiled. She said that she wasn’t but she was too much older then I was for me to argue with her.
I will have to check that out next time. I was just reading the first one and did not go to find out if there were anymore on there.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Gail,
They had just come out. I do not know if they knew what was going to happen with them. I am trying to think of the name of them. We had to go to a clinic and they did all the exams and everything. It took awhile for me to get pregnant and had miscarriages at first and then finally had children. They said that it was common. I think the name of the pill was clomid. I am not sure and probably spelt it wrong. I will have to look it up. Your kids are close together. You must have had your hands full. That would be harder then having three kids. I always wonder how my mom did it with 5 kids.
That is funny. Her husband did not enjoy doing the house work for long. It is nice if you can have a cleaning lady to clean for you. It would be nice to have a clean house all the time and not have to worry about doing anything. Then if the house is dusty you can just wait for the cleaning lady to do it for you.lol We probably would be cleaning the house before the cleaning lady got there. Can’t let anyone see the house dirty.lol
How is your weather? Ours is warming up and windy. I just hope that it is not leading up to some storms. It is supposed to cool down again on Monday. They did not say how long it would last. Just wish it would make up its mind. Feel sorry for mom’s having to decide how to dress their kids for school.
When you get the replies on here are they from the people that sent you an answer of someone elses? Like today, I got the reply that you put on here to Adele. They did not send what you had sent to me. It is weird. Guess that it is better then not getting any reply. At least we can see that one of us is on here.
Well that is about all from here. I hope that you have a good night.
Colleen
p.s. Ron is watching that news again. I need to have it blocked from our tvHi Adele,
I did have a fever but it did not last for very long. Just the first night that I had it. So I am not sure what it was. Will find out when I go to this new doctor. Hope that he turns out to be really good. Time will tell.
Our weather is getting warmer. THe snow has melted we did not have it for very long. I like the warmer weather. I cannot go see Aliza this week. Since I am not sure what it is I better stay home. Tomorrow I plan on going to buy a new wallet. See how I feel after doing that. If I get sick then I know that I should not have gone out. lol
Have you been watching the Chew? What did you think of them having for robbery in the Chew Kitchen? It was kind of funny but would have been better if it was someone in the audience. The clues they had I guess let up the that girl that they said did it. I have no idea who she is. All I know is that she is married ot Lawrence Fishberne. I think that I spelled his name right. I have not seen the show that she is on. It would be fun if they did that again but pick someone that no one would suspect. They have had some good recipes. I want to try Micheal Symon’s tator tots. They looked really good. Would not do the eggs on top though. Unless they are scrambled and have gravy on them so you cannot taste the egg it would be good. The tator tots would be good on there own.
Do you ever get recipes for Pillsbury? I have been getting some and they are really good. Ron is enjoying the food that I have been cooking. He really surprised me. We had chicken with wild rice. That was something that was easy on the stomach. So will keep fixing things like that for the rest of the week. Except if I decided to have oat meal. I can eat oat meal for every meal. Ron does not like to eat it for dinner though.
Ron would never fix me potato soup. He would let me starve. Now he may go to the store and buy a can of it and say here eat this but to fix it for me no way. Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.
ColleenHi Gail,
Yes we did not think that we would ever have another child it was so long. But surprise there was another one on the way. I took fertility pills to get pregnant or there would not have been any kids at all. Back then you could only take them once and that was it. So it was a blessing from God that we had the other two. Life never goes the way we think.
I am with you. Lets just go out and eat every night and not worry about cooking or getting groceries. Wouldnt that be nice if we did not have to go out and get groceries and come home and put them away and then have to cook them. There is just something unfair about that. We are supposed to have a cook and a maid. That has always been such a good dream of mine. That will never happen but a girl can dream.
Ron really was a good nurse to me the other day and night. He stills worries about how I am feeling and if I should be doing much. I think that I have found a new doctor. I have to call tomorrow and see if they will take me as a patient. I need to get a questionnaire and take it in and see if I am going to accept them as my doctor. We are the ones that should be asking all the questions and finding out about them. I wonder what they would do if you came in with a list of questions. They would probably ask you to leave. lol
This time around I really did not want any flowers or candy. Just getting a meal was good enough for me. We got them at that little restaurant we like. So it was nice to get that,. I got pasta and you get a salad with it. They filled the whole big take out box with salad. It was the same size as the main meal came in. I was really surprised.
Well that is about all from here. Will talk to you later.
ColleenHi Adele,
You won 2 dollars that is better then nothing. You can buy a candy bar or you can get a soda. So you did not do too bad. I am not sure what else you can buy for two dollars.lol. Oh you can buy a pack of gum maybe even two. The Lindt Ball /truffles sound good. I have never had any. The strawberry sounds really good.
We had snow today. We were supposed to just get rain in the afternoon and some snow and sleet in the morning. Well we had snow all day. It was coming down like rain. It did cover the ground but it melted later in the day because of the warmer weather. It was really strange. It is that time of year though.
Have you noticed that our husbands do not spread out as bad as we do though. That is just not fair. Their metabolism is different then ours and so that is why. Well today I have been sick all day. Ron has been taking care of me. He is such a good person.In the morning it was toast and then in the afternoon after my stomach settled down a bit it was salad. I thought that it would make matters worse but it didn’t. He knew more then I thought that he did.
I have been in bed most of the day and night and feel like I better go lay down again. Tomorrow has got to be a better day.
ColleenHi Gail and Adele,
We had three kids but the youngest was 9 years younger then the oldest. It was not as bad but it is hard to keep up with them when they are that far apart. They have different things going on in their life and you have to do what they all want to do. Melissa was a good baby and easy to take everywhere. It was a good thing because she had to go to a lot of different things.
Did not buy anything from the show but there was a few things that I liked. I liked the top with the cherry blossom on it in yellow and navy bottom. It would look good with the navy pedal pushers. There were a couple of other tops that I liked but will have to wait before to order. I promised myself that I would not buy anything else until I pay off all of my easy pays. Will see how long that i make it. Bet it will not last as long as I would like. These new things are too tempting.
I am supposed to go and see the baby again this week. Just a visit with Danyielle and Aliza, Hope that Owen will be home but probably will not be. Any time we go up there we go on the day that he is supposed to stay with his dad. We are going to have to bring him down here and spend some time with him. Would love to spend some time with the two of the kids together.
We had a nice Valentines day. Ron went and bought dinner for us and I made a dessert. We ended up doing it Saturday night because we had a weather advisory for Sunday. So we stayed home Sunday. Was a good thing it was bad like they said it was going to be. The roads were slick but not a whole lot of snow. Sounds like everyone had a nice day. It is nice just to be together with our husbands. It is always Valentines day when you are with the person you love. We all got keepers.
Adele it was good to hear that you got your heat fixed. I would not like to think of all of you sitting in the cold. They did come fast. You were lucky. At least you do have a fire place. It would be nice.
Gail, Poor Rocky. He must feel bad when he has an accident. He is use to going out when he has to and it is not like him to have an accident. You are a good dog mom. You have a lot of patience with him. The poor guy.
Your dinners sound really good. The braised ribs and the goulash. Makes me feel bad that Ron had to go out and get something for our dinner. I did make dessert and that was it. I did get a card but no candy and was glad of that. That is one thing that I do not need. Did either of you get a box of candy?
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.
ColleenHi Sue,
That was terrible. It was a good thing that you decided to stay home for the week-end. Hope that they are wrong about the snow on Monday. If not please be careful going to work. Will you be able to do any work at home since you have the computer? I may be thinking of the wrong person that said something about doing work at home on your computer. I hope that you can and not go out at all. You have worked at that place for a long time. The people sound like they are nice.
Be careful if you have to go out.
