Hi Gail,
I have never seen one of those electric bikes. Are they like a motor cycle or a regular bike that kids ride. I feel kind of dumb not knowing what they look like. I hope that Greg is really careful when he is riding and does not hurt his back like Simon has.

Hi Adele,
That is sad about your neighbor. I guess there are some people that cannot handle taking care of sick people. It is better to admit it then to try and not be able to do it. It is a shame that they could not get a visiting nurse to come in and help out with her. I will remember him and the family in my prayers.
It has been really nice here. The weather has changed a little here. It has been cooler and less humid but that is all coming to an end over the week-end. It is going to get hot again and humid plus the rain is coming back again.
I worry about you listening to this medium. It is going to get you upset and you do not need that. I will be saying a prayer for you. I just do not know that is a good idea.
I am glad to hear that Steph is talking to everyone again. I wonder why she gets mad like that all the time. She needs to realize that all of that is not worth it. Like you said Life is short and it is not worth fighting with family over anything.
It was weird to have to sit there and not talk. I am glad that there was someone else in there that felt the way I did. We had to sit in those dumb cubicles and stare into space. They do not have magazines in the offices either. So there is nothing to read either. Boring sitting there with your mask on and not being able to do anything. We all looked like a bunch of bank robbers trying not to be identified.
These poor little guys have so much to go thru with getting their teeth. It will be nice when they get a mouth full. Grayson is crawling around by pulling himself with his arm and pushing with his feet. The tummy crawl. My oldest daughter did that until she started pulling up and taking a few steps. Then she started to crawl on her knees.
I have not been cooking as much here lately. We eat a lot sandwiches it is easier and right now I do not feel like eating. It is easier to have a sandwich then a big meal. I am thinking a chicken in the slow cooker with potatoes, carrots and onions. If I do not do it quick it won’t get done. I will change my mind and it won’t get done.
Maybe you should move the chair away from the table until you can take it being there. It took awhile for us to get eating at my mom’s dining room set but we do now and remember all the good meals and times we had around the table.
Well that is about all from here. Please take care of yourself.and stay safe.
Love ya
Colleen

Hi Barbara,
Colin is so cute. It is funny how the little ones have picked up on this sickness and they cannot go anywhere. It is sad that kids that age has to go thru this. Aliza was supposed to go back to pre school but they decided to put it off for a semester. She is really disappointed she was ready to go back. The teacher has to wear a mask and it bothers some of the kids. The little ones do not have to wear one but the teachers do. It will be hard on her to miss this year but she will be fine I think.
Did those exercises help you any with your strength? I hope that they did. I could not find the pictures of them our house still is full of stuff from my mom’s house and my sil’s house. I will be glad when we find a place to go with all this stuff.
It was not fun having a dad that was a lawyer. He could ask more questions and ask in different ways and trip us up if we were trying to get away with something. All but my oldest sister. She could get around him more then any of us. I guess she was use to him and got good at it.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
My dad and my nephew are the only two. We do have a couple policeman in the family and that is about it. We have one person in the Army and no more then that.
We have watched a couple of those concerts. They are pretty good. I cannot think of the guys name of who we have watched. He sang the song Remember When. I cannot believe that I cannot remember his name. That is driving me crazy I can picture him but cannot think of his name. Do you ever watch Huckabee? He had Barry Williams from Brady Bunch. He has a group that he sings with. There is only three of them his wife another guy and him. They sounded really good. He has a really good attitude about being a child actor not like most of them. He said that he liked to go to other sound stages and see other that were being taped.
That is always good to hear if some one has passed kidney stones. Especially when you have a family member that is going thru the same thing. They have so much pain when they have those.
It is really strange at the events that they are having and the ones they cancel. I wonder if they will have all the vendors there. I would imagine they will not have as many as usual but you never know. Did hear that Frank from Pickers is sick. I am wondering if he will be on the show again or not. I will be glad when they start showing new shows. I am getting tired of reruns.
Mandy and I are going out to lunch tomorrow. They opened up a new fish restaurant here and we want to try it. They serve lobster tails and crab. There is not another pace in this area that serves that type of sea food. We usually have to go to St.Louis for that type of meal.
That is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
The eye doctor appointment was interesting. You sat in these little cubicles until the called you and then you went into a room and one person checked your vision then dialated your eyes. They put you in another room to wait til your eyes were dialated . They had signs up all over the place asking people not to talk unless asked a question. Well I was in the waiting room waiting to see the doctor when This man sitting in a cubicle across from me started talking to me. They had a tv on telling you how to be careful and what to do to keep from getting the virus. We were both in agreement that they needed to show something a little more interesting. It was like being in prison.
I am glad that someone else had thought of doing concerts that way. I would love to go hear some live music for awhile instead of listening to the radio. I wish they have something on here so we can listen live concerts.
I have found that the best time of the day is nap time. I feel like a two year old. Just need a nap get tired from deciding what chair I want to sit in and if I want to get dressed or change pajamas. all these big decisions that have to be made.
Our nephew was running for judge in one of the counties around us and won. We are all so proud of him. I think that he has won the job because no one from the other party was running against him.
I like the meme about the grandma and her granddaughters party. Smart lady. It would be hard for the kids to turn her down when she was doing something nice for them. I like all the memes you post they are all funny.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi DD,
Time sure is flying by. Part of it may be because we cannot do much right now. I will be glad when they give the okay to start going back to normal. I want to see more people and find out what they are doing.
Our weather has cooled down here also. It is supposed to be in the 70’s tomorrow so that will be nice. I have to go to the eye doctor tomorrow and maybe go for a walk in the park. It depends on how many people are there.
Sounds like you really had a rough childhood. You are lucky you mom and sister were there for you and did all they could for you. It is sad that you had to wait so long to get your license. It would be hard to be sorry to see you dad pass away when he treated all of you that way. It is just so sad.
Melons are pretty hard to raise. I think you have to do so many different things to the soil and baby the plants. That is all that I can figure it out. We have tried to grow them a couple of times.
Well that is all from here. Stay safe.

Hi Gail,
If your dentist is like ours you will have nothing to worry about. There will not be anyone in there but you, the dentist and staff. If you get to toe dentist office early you have to wait in your car and they will call and let you know when you can come in. So no two people will be in there at one time. It is nice to walk out and not pass any one in the hall.
It is so sad that the kids cannot go back to school. They are missing out on so much. I feel bad for your niece missing out on so much that goes along with going to high school. Kaylee is upset because she cannot meet any kids that go to her school. She has not been able to get out and meet people since they moved. Ethan has a group of friends that live in his neighborhood. There are not any kids Kaylee’s age that live there.
The concert sounds really good. We have not streamed any concerts at all. I wish they would be able to have concerts in the park and distance the people from each other. They could have people sit in their cars and then they will not be close to anyone.
It has been nice to be able to do things again. Everyone is being so careful about making sure there is only one person in their place of business. I feel comfortable going to those places. I do not know when they will open the churches. If they have I have not heard.
It is supposed to be in the 70″s here also. I am so happy that is is finally cooling down even if just for a few days. From the way it sounds there are not a lot of us that can plant melons and make them grow.
Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi DD,
I forgot about the Christmas in July shows being on today. I missed them will have to look on here and see what they have. I have been ordering Christmas gifts already. I have bought a few things and have a few people bought for. It makes it nice then I do not have all that expense at one time.
It was nice that the mayor let the state police do something. Maybe if he would have done that a long time ago it would have stopped. It is good that it is calming down and the people are taking a hand in stopping it. That is the best way to get it stopped. I wish more people would do the same every where. If they see that people are tired of this maybe it will stop.
I jst wish that the girls would start driving. Where we live we do not have buses or cabs. We may have one cab company but have never seen them. They are not around here much. It would be too expensive to take a cab out here we live too far away from things. That is the only thing about living in the country or in a small town.
I still have to look that up about what makes a water melon explode. I had never heard of it but it sure makes a mess. I am glad that it happened at her house and not ours. I cannot imagine cleaning that mess up.
I really like the pictures you posted. I like the ones of the houses and the snow. The pictures of the water are so calming. They make you feel relaxed. Thanks for posting them.
Have a great day. Stay safe.
Colleen
