Hi Ladies,
Did you guys get an email from QF? I got one today. It’s a set of 2 short sleeve tops with 2 different necklines & designs. They’re just under $40.
The date is the 25th. They come in 6 colors. That doesn’t seem like much when it’s a set of 2. I could be wrong. Just doesn’t seem like that’s very many considering how many of us there are out here.
It’s been a chilly day with on & off showers all day. Doesn’t look like summer’s around the corner here.
I made a batch of brownies today in my new Temptations baker. It’s the one I set out for my Easter décor.
Thank you for the compliments on Jewell. They do think they own the home. We’re their servants. They just don’t pay the rent or mortgage.
Barbara those are some wonderful stories about how you would take your patients out for fresh air. As a caregiver I know how important that is
for their morale. I just don’t understand why anyone would object to it. I think it was wonderful you laid out in the grass when you were ill. It makes such a difference in your attitude. Who cares what the neighbors think. Maybe they should do the same thing. It might do them some good as well. It’s well documented that animals are healing to the sick. But as a nurse I’m sure you know that.Oh, did you guys catch the Jesse Stone marathon on Hallmark movies & mysteries channel today? I wonder if he’ll make another one?
I’m starting to decorate for the summer months. I put out beach stuff, sea shells, etc. I put up tropical scenes from calendars all around the apt, like I
do for the holidays. they cheer me up. I have some plates of sea life from artist Christian Lassen. I love his work. I don’t have any paintings like I do of T. Kinkade. I do have plates, & I put them up in the shelves. I’ll take pics when I get it all out.
I forget who was getting the new Xfinity set up? Have you figured it out yet. I see commercials all the time for the remote you speak into.
Adele, thank you for the compliment on my chair. I had that specially made yrs ago. I wanted a stuffed rocking chair & I found this little place that did
that sort of thing. I love the old Victorian pattern of roses so I got it. It could use a good washing, but how does one go about doing that??lol
I love the old Victorian homes, etc. Anything Victorian.
Well, those brownies are calling me so I better go answer the call. Lol.
talk to you later.
dianneHi Ladies,
How’s everybody? I hope all is fine with all of you. It’s a wet day here. A bit chilly too. I hope you’re all safe.
Another plane down due to terrorism. I’m glad I don’t fly anymore. Not that I did a lot of flying before, but it’s
just too dangerous nowadays. the last time I went anywhere was in 2000. I went to Disneyland & NYC. I got
pics of the twin towers as the tour bus drove between them. I could’ve gotten off & went in, but I didn’t.Oh Adele, your visuals were hysterical to say the least. I guess I’m gonna have to fix you up with some
bibs so you don’t have food dropping down your front. If you took me out to eat, you’d never take me any
where again! lol You’d be saying “I’m not with her”.
Did you receive the tanks? How do they look? I hope you like them all. You sound like me & my easy pays.
I have to get my current ones paid off before ordering more. I would love to get some of Carol Hockman’s sets,
but I’m a bigger size on top than the bottom. sigh. I love her floral PJ sets.Colleen, do the Genie bras give you support? QVC had them a yr or so ago, but they didn’t look like they’d
have much support.That pic of Jewell was just after her experience with grooming. If ya look closely she’s giving me the evil eye.
She was NOT happy with me.
Well, Tues. was Oregon’s primary. I knew Bernie Sanders would win. He was here in March, I think it was, & the whole
arena was full. I don’t know if you saw it, but a little bird got inside the bldg., & it landed on his podium during his speech.
It made the national news. It was cute. The bird stole the show.
Well, I guess that’s all for now.talk to ya later.
dianneHi Ladies,
You guys are hilarious!!! I almost fell off the couch reading all your posts. Being a single lady I found it especially funny, about the ads on TV for Viagra, etc. I just turn them off or change the channel. I’m right with you on the bra situation. I can’t find one to fit me, either. My budget won’t allow me to spend a lot of money so I have to do with what I can afford, which isn’t much. Have any of you bought Breezies from QVC? I’ve never bought one off TV. they always look like they’d be small. Of course the models are tiny like we were once upon a time.
Barbara, I’m so sorry to hear about your issues at home. It would seem to me that the investigator should file some kind of charges. Or at least take her report to the DA for the false reporting from your BIL. You can be arrested & charged for filing a false police report out here. I’m not sure if it’s a felony or a misdomeaner (?). I worked as a live in caregiver for elderly ladies & some families were wonderful & some were not. But I never heard of something like this.OK, I’m gonna try to answer your questions, if I leave someone out don’t be offended. I should take notes, really. Yes, I do get the TSV at 9 PM out here.
I don’t know yet what the QF TSV will be, but I’ll be get a notification pretty soon I would imagine. As for the food, I tried the KC steak burgers a couple yrs ago & didn’t like them either. They shrank up, I’d have to cut the outside edge so they’d lie flat in the skillet & they seemed to be bloody. I got the classic, the Vadallia onion & the bacon cheese & didn’t care for them. Loved the seasoning that came with tho. I use it all the time on roast, home made hamburgers,or steaks. Doesn’t take much either. I hope the Smash burgers are better!!!
I really enjoyed the meatballs. The sauce was delicious. I looked for frozen meatballs in the local grocery store, but didn’t find any. Maybe another store has them. Do you remember which store it was?
I so wanted to order the Lock & Lock TSV, but I gotta watch the budget. Loved the new colors of lavender, watermelon, (lemon), & glacier blue. Blue is my fave color anyway.
I hear ya about the appointments not until later in the AM. I worked “swing shift” for many yrs at Hewlett Packard, (2:30-10:30pm), so I didn’t get up till 9 am or so. That way I was awake all shift, & had some daylight hrs to do errands, etc. I’m still on swing shift. My body got so used to it I’m still up at midnight some nights. Used to watch Johnny Carson when I’d get home from work, he was soooooo funny! He was funniest when he was “dying” on stage. When the jokes wouldn’t go over & the audience was silent, & he’d break out in a dance. Not a morning person at all!!!
I hope everyone is fine & in no danger from storms.
talk to ya later.
dianneP.S. the QF show will be on 4-6 EDT, 1-3 PDT. Enjoy.

Hi Ladies,
I hope everyone’s weekend is going great. Well our short heat wave is over. It was in the upper 80s yesterday, today it’s barely 60. Our
natural AC came in over night. It was gray & gloomy all day.
There’s a QF show tomorrow after ITKWD. I think it’s a 2 hr show, but I’m not sure. It’s been mostly beauty products today. I don’t watch
those kinds of shows. Wouldn’t do me any good anyway!!! Lol.
Say, I was on my FB page today, & I came across a post about Carolyn Gracie. Apparently someone made some kind of remark or some
thing & people were coming to her defense. I didn’t know what was said or when it was said, but for so many to come to her defense it
must’ve been nasty. I don’t understand why people feel they need to do that. I say, if ya can’t say something nice, keep your mouth shut!!
And if ya don’t like what’s on, change the channel. when Lisa Robertson was on one time she was doing a segment on purses. A caller
basically called her out on air. Everybody just looked at each other, like did that just happen??
Well, have a great Sunday & enjoy QF.
talk to ya later.
dianneHi Ladies,
Ahhhh, I see we got the black lettering back. I don’t have to go get new glasses after all. For just a bit I thought it was me!!!
So, I hope everyone’s fine & safe. I saw some of the tornadoes on the news, even tho it was in Colorado.
If you want to get away from that dangerous weather, come out here. I know we’re known for rain all the time, but we have
NOTHING compared to what you guys get out there. We don’t have the humidity, or the dangerous tornadoes. thank God!!!!
When we have humidity, it’s in the 40s or 50s, maybe 60s, and you would howl laughing at us when we start whining about
“the humidity”. In the summer the humidity goes down to the 20s or lower. I know we complain about the rain, but it’s a good
thing to keep us green.For all of you who have issues opening jars, cans, bottles, I gave Colleen a list of things that are on QVC. I found the Temptations
oven mitts are great for opening jars, etc. They’re thick inside, & come up half way up the arm, protecting your arms. they have silicon
on both sides so it doesn’t matter which hand you put em on. The Q also has can openers that have every bottle opener you could
use.
I gave in today & pre ordered the today’s TSV for the Smash Burgers. I’ll get them the end of June. Have any of you had them? I’ve
never had them before. The food always looks sooooo gooood on TV. Some how it never looks that good when I try it.Oh, did you girls get an email from QF about a live audience show the 25th? I’m not sure about the time of the show right now.
Well, I’ll go for now.
dianneHi Ladies,
I hope all of you had a wonderful Mother’s Day with your families. Is it me or is this type lighter? I can barely see what I’m typing.
I hear there are some really bad storms out there. I hope you’re all okay. Today was overcast for most of the day & in the 60s,
but we’re in for another warm up.
Those berries look luscious!!! Our strawberry season should be starting next month. I grew up in a small town about 100 miles SE
of Portland, & every June we had a Strawberry Festival. We bragged about having the World’s Largest Strawberry shortcake. The
local bakery made it every year & it was in the annual parade. It was covered of course, then after the parade, they handed out slices of
it. Being a small town there was plenty for all. There was a small carnival, too. then in July the next town over, Albany, had their annual
summer festival. It was called the Timber Carnival. Timber was the local industry until the technology industry came in. It put a lot of
people out of work. Logging was a big thing back in the day. Lumber mills were everywhere, esp in the smaller towns.I miss the small town atmosphere I grew up with. There were no drugs, & all the gun violence there is today. I sure miss that. Life was
soo much better back then. Life was simpler. sigh.Well, I’m gonna try & send my pics of Crater Lake again.
Have a great week ladies.
dianneHi,
I’ve tried several times to forward pics, but nothing comes thru. sorry.Hi Ladies,
Happy Mother’s Day to all. I’m sure you all will be with your families on Sunday so I don’t expect to hear from ya till Monday. Enjoy your day!!
Colleen, I have some items from ITKWD that I thought I’d share. they’re all from the show & I have 2 of them. I’m listing the item number, but I
can’t include a photo. sorry
Temp-tations Oven MItts-K42822-FL; K42824-OW–$19.58 for a set of twoCooking Buddy-K42231-$19.98—works great for taking large things out of the oven & for a large trivet. Choice of patterns & colors.
Kuhn Rikon ultimate can opener–K18779-$19.96. It has all the openers you need. opens all size bottles, cans.
5 in one can opener–K43097-$19.98. Not as many bottle openers as one above. Mark Charles demonstrates with David. One time David got too close & got sprayed
by a soda pop. Ooooppppppppppsssss!!! LOL. I crack up when those 2 are on. Esp when David has trivia for MC.Barbara, I live right between the mountains & the coast. Portland has 2 rivers. The Columbia River divides Oregon & Washington; the Willamette (pronounced Will-am-it).
I believe it’s the only river that flows South to North. I’m about 90 minutes from the Oregon coast & about the same from the mts. Oregon is a gorgeous state. Our only
National Park is Crater lake. I LOVE it there. I’m gonna try to send some of my pics of it. Its the most beautiful blue you’ve ever seen. It’s down in Southern Oregon.
I could go on & on & on about Oregon. We get teased about being behind the times, but that’s okay. Also about how much rain we get, but we need it.For a minute I thought I lost this, but I was able to retrieve it. I get really upset when that happens. I have to start over & can’t remember what I said before.
I’m gonna try to send some pics of Crater Lake that I took yrs ago. It hasn’t been doctored in any way. That truly is the color of the lake.talk to ya all on Monday. Have a wonderful Mother’s Day!!!
