Hi Gail,
Thank you for starting the new post. We are lucky to have you to do this. I love the pictures you posted. I wonder how they got the dog and the cat to wear those things around their neck and head. My dogs would have them ripped apart in two seconds flat. I cannot get them to wear a sweater.
That is nice that they are letting you and Greg watch all those concerts for free. You will really enjoy them. It is just so sad that we will not be able to go to concerts or plays for awhile. Adele is lucky she got to see Hamilton. I have heard that it is really good.
That is funny that Greg is talking to his fish. Well at least they let him know when they are hungry and he does not have to guess at it. lol Ron needs to talk to his dogs or something.
How are things going with Brent and his house? Has he signed the papers yet or has he given up on it. He could have been fixing his house and getting ready to move in.
Well that is about all from here. It is pretty boring here. Have a great night.
Colleen

Hi Adele,
I cannot believe that the apartment complex is not going to give her daughters more time to get her things out. It would have been nice if they would have. They should have thought more of them.
I agree with everyone about the er doctor. He seems like a very caring man and did not want to upset the family any more then he had to. It is so sad that Amanda had to go thru all of that. It is nice that she will be staying with you and Gary. It will be nice to have you around to help her thru all of this and vissa versa. It is good that they were all there for you. I know that this will be hard for all of you for awhile but as long as you have each other you will be okay.
Where we live they always do an autopsy if a person dies at home. The only way they will not do one if the person is elderly and everything looks okay. I guess that they have to be careful of all that.
I am here for you also. We all are. Anytime you need to vent we are willing to listen. Please take care of yourself my friend. You are in our thought and prayers and all of your family will be also.
Colleen

Hi Adele,
Sometimes it is hard to get close to the ones you love when you lose a love one. I know that it is hard but you will get close to everyone again soon. Everyone handles things different. I wish this pain would go away for you but it takes time. Just keep your family close and see them as often as you can. It will help ease the pain and it will be nice to be around the grand kids. I know that it is rough and I wish that I could take some of the hurt and pain away from you. I will keep praying for you and your family.
Bobby is such a good son. It is good that he could take charge like he did. It would be too hard for you to do all of that and he realized that. Your geand kids are good kids also.
I watched Grayson for awhile today. Brook brought him over and then she had to go to work. I kept him until Mandy got off work. He is such a cute baby and has such a cute smile. He likes to cuddle up just as close as he can get to you. He is just a very loving child. I think that you need that right now. It can make you feel better.
How is Tillie doing? I hope she is doing okay thru all of this. It is good that she lives there with you and is not alone. You two will have each other to console each other.
Well that is all from here. I will be praying for all of you.
Love you my friend
Colleen

Hi Everybody,
Melissa is here with the kids. I am not sure how long they are staying will write a lot more then. Sounds like everyone is getting tired of cooking and staying at home. I was until they got here. They have been here for a week and am not sure how long they are going to stay.
The memes are really cute. It is fun reading them. Our asparagus is not doing any good this year. I think that we had too much rain. Our garden was planted later this year for the same reason. The rain has really been bad in the spring we had a lot of it. We have had to replant once. So we are not sure when anything will come in this year.
Well that is all from here. Will write more when they go home. I hope everybody has a great night.

Hi Gail,
I will have to look at Wal Mart and see if I can find one. I hope that they still sell them. If not maybe they will have something else to take its place. I really need to find something.
It is really starting to irritate me about these rioters. They told my son in law not to wear his uniform when he goes into work. He will be a target foe these people. They are just shooting any one that is wearing a uniform. All these men are doing is going to work and trying to make money to raise their families. I feel bad for all the police and fireman that have to worry every time they go on a call. It is really sad.
Your hands can break out from wearing those gloves.You have to make sure that you have the right kind. The latex gloves really bother some people. The mask can get hot also.
I hope everything went well for Greg today. I hope that he hired the man and he does a good job. It was smart to send those guys home so their cars did not get damaged or they got hurt.
Those pictures of the nurses and doctors is really good. It does describe them. Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.

Hi Barbara,
We can get ground beef but they are charging $6.00 a pound. I could do not believe that they are raising the prices as high as they are. I hope that they can get it stopped soon it is not right that they are doing that. I am not sure what time they are closing our stores here. They may be closing early just have not been out in the evening for awhile. I know that they are only letting so many people in the store at a time.
I am going to have to check on the q and see if I can get one. I would like to try something. I just hope that they are still selling them. I will check them out after I get off here.
That must have been interesting talking to those guys that use to be in his band. I bet that they had a lot of things to say about their time with Elvis and what it was like. I bet they had some good times and then some rough times. It must have been horrible having to fight your way thru the screaming fans. One thin that really bothered me is when he was performing and he would be sweating and wipe his sweat on a rag and those women would fight over it. I would not want one of those smelly old things. That is disgusting.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
Well we had all those peaceful protesters during and then last night it all went crazy. They were looting and burning it was awful. We need to pray for all those misguided people that are doing this. They are not grieving for the man that got killed they are doing this to be destructive. They broke into a gun shop and took all kinds of guns. This has got to end or there will be a lot of bad things happening.
I liked those sweaters that you are talking about. I liked the one with the flowers but not the flamingos. They had some cute things but were kind of expensive. I bought my first top from Brook Sheilds collection. I just got it on clearance and it is cute. I have not worn it yet so do not know how it fits.
They are enforcing a curfew now and that is a good idea. If they can get the peaceful protesters off the streets they will not get arrested or mistaken for the violent protesters. I really feel bad for the police right now. They are doing the best that they can and everyone is talking out against them. They are beating up on them and shooting them. It was one cop and the guys that he was working with that did that not every cops on the force. He has been arrested and I am sure the others will be in trouble also. They told my son-in-law not to wear his uniform to work now. A lot of the recruiting offices have been closed because of the riots. They have to be careful are they will shot or the office will be set on fire. I just pray that these men will be safe.
I think all we can do right now is pray. Stay safe.

Hi Gail,
The jar popper looks interesting. I have never seen one of those before. Where did you find it? I need something to help to open jars. I have seen those jar openers on tv but wonder if they really work like they say. You just put it on top of the jar and it does all the work.
That is good that they did not make the guys wear masks while they are golfing. It would be hard to wear them while playing and hot. I do not see how all the medical people wear them and people that work in stores wear them. They would get in the way. It seems like it would make it hard to breath.
Everything in St. Louis had been so peaceful and quite and then last night they went crazy. They were looting and burning and shooting people. They shot our old police chief that was working as a night guard at a pawn shop. They also had a group that broke into a gun shop. These people are not the regular protesters they are a group that is trying to cause problems in this country. I just hope they get this under control. It is like the Vietnam protests and people got so violent. I just keep praying that this will stop.
Well that is all from here. Have a good night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
That would be scary to see all the smoke .I worry about everyone. I feel so bad for the business owners where these people are breaking windows and looting stores. These people are not worried about the man that got killed they are just being destructive and taking all they can get. I just pray that is over soon.
I am hoping that none of this craziness comes here where we live. We live so far out and we do not have that many stores here for them to loot. Have not heard of any peaceful demonstrations here either.
That is scary the growths that Heather has on her tonsils. I hope they figure out what has caused this and get it taken care of. I am surprised that they do not want to take her tonsils out. That is usually the first thing that they want to do.
Not a lot going on here. It is so boring. Have a good night.
Colleen
