Hi Ladies,
Just thought I’d pop in & say Hi. Not much to talk about. All they had on the Q was jewelry today, so boring. I think there is a bug going
around. all I wanted to do today was sleep. It’s been pretty chilly out here for this time of yr. We’ve had showers off & on yesterday & today. I even had to turn the heat on it’s been so chilly. It’s supposed to warm up over the weekend. Then the heat is on!!
Colleen, Albany hurt her leg at home last month. she said she took a tumble. She’s been in a cast & had to stay off her feet. she’d post on her FB page
she was spending $$$ watching the Q from home. LOL. What’s a girl to do??, she said. She should be returning soon, I hope.

Adele, by the time you read this your back splash should be in, I hope. I hope they do a good job the first time & don’t have to come back. You’ll have to take pics of it so we can see it.
Speaking of pics, I took pics of my new dishes & will include them. One is of the dinner plate & salad plate, the mug, bowl looking down into it & side view.
The pattern isn’t flat they’re embossed so you can really feel the pattern. GORGEOUS!!!!
I don’t know why I’m getting this red line under my words. ????
I’ll talk to ya later.

Hi Ladies,
I’m way behind so forgive me if I leave something out. We’re having some really weird weather this week. Today was thunderstorms with hail here, & snow up in the mts above 4800 ft. It won’t last long. Mother Nature is playing tricks on us right now. I can’t remember getting snow in the mts this time of yr. But the temps are goin up in the next few days. By Sunday it’s supposed to be 80 or better. We go from one extreme to another.
I hope all of you are okay. I hear the heat is on back there.
I saw on my FB page Albany’s coming back soon, Jacquie will be back on Friday, altho I have my doubts. After an accident like that she’ll be sore & in pain for awhile. Whiplash is quite painful. the damage can go undetected for some time. I think Shawn is on vacation with her hubby.

I got my dishes & they are GORGEOUS!!!! I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful they are. I’m soo glad I got them. They’re almost too pretty to use!!
I’ll take pics of them & post em. They can doctor the pics so they look prettier than they really are, but these are beautiful.
That prayer page is a wonderful idea. Right now we all need prayer. I’ll have to find it. I haven’t gone to it yet. My sciatica is bad this week. It’s left me not wanting to do anything.
I guess that’s all I have for now.
Hope you’re all fine.
talk to ya later.

Hi Ladies,
I’m sorry to hear about the passing of a fellow Quacker. I didn’t see a photo on this page. Did I miss it? Saying a prayer for her family.
Well the clouds are rolling in tonight…hooooooray!!! That means the heat wave is over & cooler temps are ahead. Showers are in our future.
It looks like a cloudy, cool & maybe damp day for the Grand Floral Parade on Sat..no surprise there. I think the bands, horse riders, etc probably
prefer cool days. Just not soaking wet.
Did ya catch the QF show today? It was on in the morning here. Again a lot of cute tops, & no money. There’s going to be other shows later in the week.

Oh, did ya know that Phillip Watson was in the hospital? I got a post in my FB Newsfeed. He said he was in for nine days & was glad to be alive.
He had a heart valve replaced & a stent put in. I didn’t learn about it till I saw the post. He’s sooo darn cute. I love to watch his gardening shows.
Let’s send prayers for his full recovery. He was feeling pretty weak. I’ll check his FB page & see if there’s any updates.

I had open heart surgery in 1982. I was born with a hole in the heart & instead of it closing like it normally would, it grew bigger. the heart surgeon that
developed the procedure did the surgery. When I was asked who I wanted to do it, my response was Dr. Starr. They patched up the hole & here I am.
I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have made it to age 50 if I hadn’t had the surgery done.
I can hear the wheels turning. Why didn’t my parents have it done when I was a child. Well, the Dr’s said I wouldn’t make it thru the surgery at that
age. I was 32 when I had it done, so by that time the procedure was perfected. The Lord knew when it was the right time. His timing is Perfect.

I’m putting up my tropical pics for the summer. If I can’t get there in life, I can sit here & daydream of being there. Sigh. Besides they’re gorgeous
pics.
I’m enclosing pics of my set of dishes, I took it off the computer. Also a pic of my shelves in the living room. You’d never guess I LOVE roses, LOL!!!

Adele, did they come & fix the back splash yet? I’d be ALLLLLLLLLLLL over them if not. Your sooooo right it was torture with all that noise. It’s BLESSEDLY QUIET now. And you’re right they should have moved us all out while that went on. It could’ve been done in half the time. the crew
wasn’t happy they had to share the elevators, & put up with us!!!
Well, I guess that’s all for now.

Hi Ladies,
Right now we could use some of those cool temps & rain!!!! We are having a mini heat wave, breaking/shattering records here. It’s been
in the upper 90s, almost 100 Sat, & today!!! It’s supposed to cool down tomorrow & back to normal temps the rest of the week. Thank goodness!!!
Luckily the humidity was in the 30s. I don’t like it when it gets this hot. I have a small AC but it can’t keep up. This evening about dinner time I stood up, & it felt like an oven!! between the AC & the ceiling fan they couldn’t keep it cool. Concrete holds the heat in summer but not so much in winter. The sun beats down on the roof & we benefit from it…if you like heat!!

Adele, you haven’t heard anything like we did last yr. The drilling thru concrete is Unbearable!! I’m surprised all of us has any hearing left. At least yours is only a few days. They should’ve moved us out while all this was going on. It went on for almost a yr. I’m just glad it’s over now.
Are you sure the cherries weren’t the culprit that upset your stomach? My mom always told me not to eat very many cherries as they give you a belly ache. Maybe she was right.

Have any of you heard of Current Catalog? I’m one of their best customers. I get their stickers, cards, all sorts of things. I love it. Gail, they have a ton of things with butterflies. They have a butterfly wreath in their catalog. I saw several things with butterflies.
I have a pair of Vionic flip flops & they aren’t that comfortable. The arch support is too high. I got a pair of Birkies several yrs ago & I still have them. They have a patriotic pattern on the straps. I still wear them & get compliments on them.
I wish I could take credit for the pic of the bowls. I got that set for the holidays last yr. I wanted a set of bowls & they fit the bill.

I was a naughty girl this weekend. I ordered a set of dinnerware from Temptations. It the 16 piece Figural Floral set in Roses. If you go to QVC & type in
H204924 & click on the Rose set you’ll see why I couldn’t resist. I ordered them on Sat. & good thing I did cuz they sold out on ITKWD. I always check to see what’s coming up on his shows.
I just heard we did hit 100 today. We had the Starlight Parade last night. It’s precursor to the big Grand Floral Parade next Sat. They also have a junior
parade mid week for the kids. I’ve seen when parades were in pouring rain. It looks like next week will be in the 70s with clouds. Better than temps like today!!!
I’m sending a pic of the mama goose & her family Dan took after his experience with a mama goose. LOL. I wish I could relay it as he wrote it. But my memory’s is as long as a minute. But you got the gist of it.
Have a good week every body & I hope Adele you get your back splash taken care of soon.

HI Ladies,
OMG. I just learned of Mary Beth’s accident. How terrible!!! I was wondering why she wasn’t on any of the
jewelry shows, I just figured she was on before I turned it on. QVC hosts are sure having a run of bad luck this yr.
Jacquie just returned from a medical leave, Albany hurt herself recently, Shawney Sue has been sick & now I hear about MB. Even the guys aren’t immune.

Dan Hughes posted his experience with a mama goose & her gosslings.
It was so funny I almost peed my pants!!! He was trying to sneak up on her to take a picture when she caught him, &she took out after him. He took off running & screaming as she was biting him. She caught him right where it hurt
the most!!!! I wish you could read it for yourself. His version is sooooo much better than mine.
We have a weekly farmers market every summer & today was the opening day. They set it up across the street in the church parking lot.
I’m sorry you hurt yourself,Adele. Ouch!!! I know all about dust & construction!!! Colleen knows all about it. It’s a long story. Last yr we had a constrution crew come in & replace the old bathtubs, install ceiling fans, new heating system,
& other things. They moved us to another floor so we wouldn’t be in the way. When we moved back a month later there was a layer of fine powdery dust Everywhere!!!! When we complained it took them 5 days to get a cleaning crew up here to clean it up. The construction crew was supposed to clean up before we moved back. I found trash all over my apt. It was a nightmare, esp for those with breathing issues, like Kay. So, if you or anyone in your family has bad lungs be forewarned.
I’ll get off my soapbox now. Take care everyone.
Dianne

Hi Ladies,
I found you!!!! Hooooooray!!!!!! It’s cooler today with high clouds. We may get some sprinkles overnight, but from
Friday on it’ll get hot & hotter over the weekend. NOT LOOKING forward to that!!!!! Sorry my keyboard got stuck there
for a bit. Not much going on here.
I’m doing this on my tablet & i’m not used to it. My computer is down temporarily. So, you have a good day. Good luck
Adele.
Talk to ya later.

Happy June!!! ???????

Hi Ladies,
I tried to send you an email last night, but once again I lost it.
So, I hope all of you had a good holiday. I took a picnic lunch over to Kay’s & we had a picnic at her place. I made potato salad, took hot dogs and buns, baked beans and chips. We had a good time.
The weather was beautiful yesterday, mid 70s, perfect for me. But today it’s gonna get up to the upper 80s, maybe 90. Then it’ll cool off for the next couple of days, then it’ll get even hotter for the weekend. We could hit 100 Sat. We don’t get that hot this early. That more like mid July. Good thing I have my A/C!!! It’s gonna be running all day and night.
I have a friend who goes on cruises once or twice a yr. A friend of her books these cruises when the ship is returning. I think they’re cheaper. My friend would Never pay full price!!! They have Dramamine for motion sickness. Although my friend tells me those ships are so big you don’t feel the waves. As for storms, they steer clear of them. I don’t think you have to disembark unless you’re planning a tour or you’re staying overnight at your port of call. In which case that would be included in the price. If it’s just for the day you can stay on the ship.
As for safety, they have everything covered. They hav safety drills when you go aboard. Just kick back & relax. And don’t forget the FOOD!!!! OMG, the buffet is to DIE FOR!!!! I think it’s open 24 hrs a day.
But whatever you do, DON’T watch Titanic!!!!! Lol.
Is it Sue who is having dizzy spells? Are you on any new meds? My cardiologist put me on a new med and I’d be sitting here & the room would be spinning. He cut me back to once a day at bedtime and it stopped.
Yesterday when I was trying to write my post I had someone up here on my lap wanting/demanding some attention. Any guesses ladies??
Well, I guess that’s all for now.
I’m gonna try this again.
