Hi Gail,
We never did watch Storage Wars. I do not know why. I guess it never did come on at a good time for us. It was easy to watch the other day because they showed one after another. We have been watching Pickers for a long time. It is a lot more interesting then a lot of shows that are on.
It sounds like the teacher that taught Latin wanted to make it fun for all of you. I had a nun that took Latin very series and wanted us to also. So the classes were kind of boring. I cannot remember ever doing anything that was much fun in that class.
We went to a Catholic High School and grade school. I switched to a public school because I got tired of following after my sisters. There was always a teacher that taught one of them and they would compare us. My sister that was two years older then me was a really good kid. She never got in any trouble. Me i liked to talk during during class even fell asleep a couple of times. My other sister was really smart. She never had to study for tests. She is the kind that while we were cramming for finals she was out running around friends. I was glad that my oldest sister did not go to that high school they would have compared me to her also.
I guess you saw the pictures of the pools in the Ozarks. All those people crowded into the pool. They made it look like they were shoulder to shoulder in the pool. Now that is stupid. Why would people do that. They had kids there among all those people. It is crazy that people would do that. I know that people like to swim but would not think that much.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great day.

Hi Adele,
You do not have to apologize for anything. That stuff happens. I do not know how to cut and paste either. I am not that good at doing anything on the computer. I wish that I could get one of the kids to come over and help me to do all this stuff. It would give my grand daughter extra money if she would take it.
When things like that happen it makes life interesting. It gave us something to think about. We have not been able to figure out what is happening to post that disappear on here.
It is supposed to rain here tomorrow too. I hope that they are wrong and we have a nice day. It would be nice to grill tomorrow and just relax all day. Maybe you and Critt can eat together tomorrow. That would be nice.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

Hi Gail,
We had never watched it before. Ron is worried that I am going to get hooked on that show now. What else are we going to watch. They have not been showing pickers that much here lately. We are never sure when they are going to be on they keep moving it to different time and day. It will be fun when they can put the new season on. I read that they are going to show the Mask Singer next season. I was glad to read that.
I like that Barry also. He is just a really nice guy. Dave makes a good villain on that show. I like that young couple. Just wish the woman would not be so crabby. Just watching some of these people it would make you want to stay away from the Storage Wars. It would not be fun to watch them act like kids.
Well we had a good day today. We got to see Aliza and Owen today. We sat outside the whole time they were here. It was just fun to see them all. Aliza and I went for a walk out to the trash barrel and Aliza was excited because we went for a walk. She didn’t hold my hand she just walked along side of me.I think that her and Owen were really glad to see us. Owen was showing me how to play a game on his tablet and let me see how he was playing. It was just so much fun watching them play. Grayson was here also. He was his happy self.
I took Latin also. I went to a Catholic high school for a year then went to public high school. I was glad to move to a different school. That is really good that you can remember Latin. I cannot remember any of it. I think that I just blocked out because it was a useless language. I took Spanish and did a lot better in that class and still remember some of it. Not a lot but some.
We had a hard rain here this evening. It cooled down a bit and then when the rain stopped the humidity went back up again. I do not if they had any storms around here we did not hear the news tonight.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

Hi DD,
It would be interesting to find out how you pasted that. It is hard to do very much on this site. I like the pictures that you posted. The water is so calming to look at. I always like the picture of old houses. Snowball is such a cute cat. I always like to see pictures of her.
They were having some good prices on clothes for awhile. I think that quacker things are going up again. I like that denim and co. are really good clothes. I bought a sweater for my granddaughter for Christmas. I am tying to get some things so I do not have so much shopping at Christmas.
There is not a lot going on around here. It is really hot here. We went from one extreme to another. I just wish that they would get this new system we had installed working. They are still waiting for a circuit board for the dumb thing.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

Hi Gail,
I noticed that mess the other day. I was going to answer your post but could not fine it and cannot find it now either. I guess when they fixed it they got rid of your post to me. I cannot believe that happened. It goes from one extreme to another. It is funny that it happened. You could just keep scrolling and scrolling and it just did not end. It would be interesting to find out how DD did that.
I am getting really bored I am watching Storage Wars and not just one I watched all day today. Now you have to be bored to do that. I am reading a book also. I have to rest my eyes from reading and doing things on the computer. My eyes burn so will wait until they rest from doing this stuff for awhile.
I got to see Grayson the other day. They came to our house to see what we had for them. They are moving into their house in a week or two so they need furniture. I wish they would have decided to move before we got rid of all mom’s stuff. Oh well that is how it goes.
Grayson is such a happy baby. He just smiles and jabbers. He makes all these noises like he is trying to talk to us. He is rolling over and getting on his knees. It is funny he can get his knees up but the rest of his body does not want to go with him. He is really getting chubby. I figure he will start growing again soon. All he can do is get longer I hope not wider. lol He cannot go to the doctor because of the covid and that bothers me. He should have started his series of shots.
I wonder If Adele’s great has had his shots yet.. I am afraid these little guys are going to have a lot of shots together. It will be interesting to see how they are going to handle yhis.
I hope your grand kids are doing well. Have you got to face time them? That makes my day when I get to face time the kids. Well that is about all from here have a great night.

Hi Adele,
I lost your e-mail on here. I thought that you had posted but could not find it back. Those bunnies are a mess. I cannot believe that they fell apart like that. They should have warned you about them being so delicate. They would not last five minutes out here. I am glad that they are taking them back and refunding your money. That is the right thing to do.
Maybe they will mention the people that have died from the virus. They may name them by name in each state it would be hard to do that at one place. There are just too many to name.
I did face time with the kids today. Aliza is funny. I wrote all of that in Gail post so if you want to read that there. It is just too much to rewrite. That is about all that has been going on around here. I guess that we will grill over the week-end and that is about it. Just for me and Ron.
Have a good night.

Hi Gail,
We did not have to drive that far to the dentist. If it was farther away we probably would have stayed and got upset that we had to wait that long and I would have been crabby.
That is a good idea that they put the mannequins at tables. That way people cannot just sit at the table. I knew they would figure out away to make it safe to go out and eat. If they give people the chance they can come up with some good ideas that should work. I think that we will get thru this if they come up with a vaccine.
That should be fun for Greg. They say that golfing is one of the safest games that they can play. I do not think the way they are going to have baseball games will be fun to watch. They should just cancel it for the year and wait so they can play it right.
We talked to Aliza today on face time. She is so funny. She graduated from pre school for the year. She goes back next year. They had all the teachers standing out in the parking lot at a safe distance and the kids drove by in cars and their teachers would hand them their papers and some craft things to do while they are home. Aliza would not talk to her teacher I think it is because they had to have masks on and gloves.That probably made her look really different. So after her mom and Aliza talked about that she started singing songs to me. She loves to sing songs and they are different every time she sings them.
It seems like when I really start to miss the kids the girls have them face time me. It really makes it a little easier. Kaylee talked to me for a little while but her tablet went dead.
Opening the drive in movies was a good idea. You can bring all your own snacks and drinks and not have to go to the snack bar if you do not feel safe. I do not know what they will do about bathrooms. That will be an interesting challenge.
Well that is about all from here. Thanks for all the funnies. I have been showing Ron the jokes and he has gotten a laugh out of them also. Have a great night

Hi Gail,
I ended up not going to the dentist. Well I drove over there but they were way behind and they had that person and two more in front of me so I rescheduled. It is just weird sitting in your car for a long period of time. People drive by and look at you like you are strange.
I cannot believe that people were shoulder to shoulder on the beach. That is crazy people would think that is safe. Even if you go to a restaurant they are spacing the tables so far apart so you will not have to worry. I do not know how they will work that with the waitresses or waiters. They are going to stand so far back that we cannot hear them or us them. It should be interesting.
I just want Aliza to come over and spend the night. She is always so full of energy. She always has something funny to say. I have seen the older kids Kylie and Brook they came by the other day. They usually come over one at a time.
It is hard not being able to help the kids out now. Every once in awhile I can help Brook out with things for the baby but only if she comes here to get the money.
That would not be worth going to the beauty shop if they cannot use the hair dryer. They would not be able to style anybodies hair. I guess that you could go and get you hair cut and that is about it. They could not put high lites or dyes in peoples hair because you have to sit under the dryer for it to dry or the color to set in. I cannot believe that is one of the rules. They might as well left the shops closed.
I noticed that my post from yesterday to you posted twice. That is strange it went from disappearing to posting twice. Well that is all from here. Have a good night.

Hi Adele,
I am glad that you got a hold of someone at QVC that is helping you out with those ducks. That is terrible that you cannot even paint them without them falling apart. You need to sand them or you cannot paint them. I guess that you cannot be sure of the Martha Stewart things. At least QVC is standing behind the product and doing the right thing.
Nothing is ever easy. We have been finding that out. We had our new furnace and air put in but it does not work. We have been calling them to come fix it and they say the part has not come in yet. It has been 2 weeks now and not a word. So Ron is going to track down the owner and have a talk with him I do not want to have to get a lawyer to handle this. We don’t any of us need this aggravation. I am glad that they got your plumbing fixed and you did not need to worry about that.
That is a high price to pay for chicken. I am glad that you got your money back on the packages of chicken that you did not receive. I hope you can get that chicken with your next order. I imagine that they cannot get the chicken back if they delivered it to the wrong people. I do hope that they called in and told them about the mistake.
It has been boring around here. W have not done much. My excitement for the week is going to the dentist tomorrow. I will actually get to see a bunch of masked people.
Have a great night.
Colleen
