Ladies,
I’m in utter shock at the passing of our dear Barbara. It seems surreal! We”re gonna miss her long posts about little Colin. He’s gonna miss seeing her on Skype. He won’t understand at his young age what happened to her. Sooo very sad for everyone. Her poor husband, he must be crushed.
I haven’t read all of the posts, but did she write about anything being wrong? Not feeling well? I don’t remember reading anything the past few weeks or so. Did we even hear from her this month?
I would send her pics, memes on messenger, & she’d reply back sometimes.
I’ll post more later on.

This will be short. It’s gonna be hotter than a firecracker out here the next few days. 100+ up & down the valley. I hope my ACs can keep up!! We made the national news about it tonight.
I’m sorry I didn’t notify you in time to catch the fall shows. I have to say they seemed priced kinda high. Maybe I’m thinking in line with my ability to buy. I’ve been seeing people on FB complaining about how high priced things are these days on the Q. From the food, to clothing, everything. Somebody must be able to get things cause I see SOLD OUT signs on alot of things.
There was a picture of David & Jane, & the comments were down right nasty. They were posting about the FriYay show. Wow. Women sure can be nasty when they don’t like the hosts.
Take care & stay safe.

Gail, that must’ve been so terrifying for you & your husband. I can’t even imagine the terror of that wind blowing all around you. I’m glad you’re okay. I hope you were able to save all your frozen foods. That’d be a tremendous loss for you. I hope it’s all over for you.
Thursday is all fall decor all day long on the Q. I have plenty of fall decor. I can always hit the $ tree if I want to add or replace things. Every year they come out with something new I can’t live without. lol
I did my first dr appt. on my phone today. It was weird. But I won’t go to the office or the hospital unless I’m on my deathbed.
I can definitely feel fall in the air, it cools off quickly at night & is quite cool in the morning. but the heat will be coming in a couple days. Summer isn’t quite over yet.
Well, that’s all I got for tonight.
take care & stay safe.

I hope everyone is doing fine. I haven’t read all the posts but I did see something that caught my attention. For everyone who has trouble with their masks, did you know they have extenders that wrap around the back of your head? I’ve seen ads on tv for them & someone here was showing one to me.
I was given a mask awhile back, but it didn’t fit, it was way too small, more like for children. You might want to check it out & see if it helps.
Our weather has been on the edge of fall the past few days. Wake up to cloudy & cool mornings with warm afternoons. I can smell fall in the air, cooler, crisper in the mornings & later in the evening. It cools off faster in the evenings. But they’re saying next weekend we’re heading into a heatwave, upper 80s & 90s for a couple days, then cooler. It’ll be up & down for awhile.
Diane found an air conditioner at her residence sitting out by the trash last week. She took it inside & tested it & it works fine. So she brought it over yesterday for me to try out. I can use it for the bedroom on the fan since I don’t have a window set up for an ac.
You’re not the only ones who isn’t cooking meals every night. I cook a couple times a week or so but when it’s REALLY hot here, I won’t cook. Even for Critt. I tell him if its hot I won’t cook so he has to fend for himself. He has 2 freezers full of food so it’s not like he’s going without. He supplies the meat, steaks, hamburger, roast, whatever so it’s not like I’m buying everything. Sometimes I have a sandwich, cold fruit, snacks, just nothing hot. I think it’s normal to do that. I don’t bake either, unless it’s cloudy, cool, rainy outside.
Is anybody getting ready to check out your fall decor yet? I can’t believe it’s gonna be fall next month.
Well, I guess that’s all for now.
take care & stay safe.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Sue!!!! Gail’s right, treat yourself to something special. You only have one b/day.
I’m glad your mammogram came out clean. That’s always a relief. I believe mammograms are yearly even tho I don;t do it every year myself.
Our Covid-19 cases keep going up just like everywhere else. We’re up to 20,000 cases of it in the whole state. sounds like the East side of the state is getting hit really hard. Which I don’t understand, since it’s less populated, no big cities like Portland, mostly rural area.
Gail, I pretty sure I sent you pics of the Oregon coast recently. see above. Our beaches aren’t the white beaches of the Caribbean islands. I guess you could say our beaches are rocky, with great big rocks out in the ocean. Sometimes people go out there & climb the rocks then when the tide comes in they get stuck & the Coast Guard has to rescue them. DUMB IDIOTS!! We don’t have drive on beaches, but WA. state does. But there are those idiots that do if they can find a way. we may not have white beaches, but they are beautiful, none the less. Even in the dead of summer tho, it can be pretty chilly over there. When it’s 90 or so here, it’s 20 degrees cooler over there. It’s where everyone heads for in a heatwave. It rarely gets to upper 80s or even 90 there. And no we don’t have palm trees over there. too cold for them.
Well, I guess that’s all for now.
take care.

I see there’s a QF show this afternoon. It’s on from 4-6ET. Probably fall fashions or summer clearance.

PS: I’ll post more later on.in reply to: Quacker Talk-August 2020 #115936Hi Ladies,
I can’t believe it’s August already! Where did July go? This yr is flying by so fast, I can’t believe it. But maybe its a good thing considering all that’s happened this yr.
Our weather has cooled down. It’s been in the low 80s & no more 90s, but I haven’t seen what the long range forecast is yet for this month. I can usually feel the cooler air of fall coming in around the middle of the month. It’s like driving to the coast & when you come to this certain curve in the road the cooler air off the ocean hits you, there’s no mistaking it. It’s so refreshing.
We’re really dry as well. We really need some rain, but I don’t think we’re gonna see any for awhile at least. Oh, I see the weather forecast, & we will get some rain later this week. Not alot but it’s something.
I wonder why it’s so hard to raise melons? As a kid my dad planted everything but them. Don’t know why. I’m noticing corn is really expensive the past couple yrs. I got 5 ears for $2 today, when I used to get 5 for $1 during the summer. Actually, everything is going up in price!!
My father was abusive, & the devil incarnate!!! And no he wasn’t an alcoholic. He didn’t drink except for a beer on a hot summer day. He made Scrooge look like an angel. He hated spending any $$$ on us. If it weren’t for my mom & my sister who made my clothes or bought my clothes I’m not sure what would’ve happened. He blew a gasket when he had to pay the $5 or $10 what ever it was to take the class back then. He didn’t allow me to get a permit or license because it would double his insurance. When I went to the teacher & told him he suggested I go see the insurance people. So I did, on the sly
& found out it wasn’t true. But to no avail. So I didn’t get my license till I was in my 30s. There’s a huge gap there, but I was too scared to try. when he passed away I didn’t shed a tear. Not one.
Well, that’s enough of my soap opera for today.
Dinner time so I’ll go for now.
take care & stay safe.
ddin reply to: Quacker Talk-July 2020 #115820Hi Ladies,
Just a quick note. The Feds are gone & there were no arrests last night. In fact, it was quite peaceful downtown. there were protesters, but they were peaceful & actually shutdown some trouble makers. They put out fires, stopped those that were climbing the fence, & that was the biggest difference. The Oregon State police were there instead of the feds, & it made a HUGE difference. No fires, no ‘kidnapping’ of people off the streets, no flash bangs, tear gas, no violence. They broke up by 1 am & left & went home. That hadn’t happened in months. Even grannies are down there. a group called “Grannies for Justice” or something to that affect.
The BIG test will be this weekend. It may have been quieter last night but what about tonight.
did I tell ya they don;t protest during the day, just overnight. Go figure.
that’s all for now.
take care, stay safe.
ddin reply to: Quacker Talk-July 2020 #115758Hi,
I forgot to say my neck is better today. I took a couple aspirin before going to bed last night & it worked! I woke up just fine. At least I turn my head without pain.
