Hi Ladies,
Just a quick note. Let’s all pray that the hurricane turns north & heads out to sea instead of hitting land. I’m seeing reports of it turning north before it hits Fl. Let’s keep good thoughts & pray it does. I know the Big Weatherman upstairs can do it.
I pray no one on here will be affected by it. I know how the bands of wind & rain can reach for a long way.
I’ll write more tomorrow.

Hi Ladies,
Another lazy weekend.
Sue, I’m so happy for you. I understand it’s new to you. I hope you get lots of miles out of it. Enjoy getting around now!!!
It’s freedom that’s for sure. and that joke was priceless!!! Kids do say the darndest things. I’m not sure about the honey flavored candy either. I know they
have pineapple, & butterscotch flavors, maybe its new.
Sunday is Christmas on the Q. It starts today, off & on then the new TSV starts it off.
My friend brought back my fall decor & guess who has taken them over? She’s on top of them now, all curled up in a fluff ball.

Well, there’s not much going on here. Have a great weekend.

Hi Sue
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I’m thrilled for you!! What make/model is it? Color? Details, please!
Sounds like you have a good friend that would do all that for you. A very good friend.

Hi Ladies,
I hope this finds everyone doing fine. Not a lot going on here. We had rain last night. It’s funny cuz all the weather people were saying it’d be soggy for the AM commute. It didn’t show up till dinner time. Mother Nature has a mind of her own. It’s partly cloudy today & will warm up thru the weekend. By next week we’ll be in the upper 80s to low 90s. Summer’s last blast, I think. Altho we could have summer weather thru Sept.
IT’s been a cooler summer than they expected I think. No triple didget temps this yr. Thank goodness.

Barbara, I’m so happy for you. That you got to spend so much time with littlle Colin. I hope it continues!! If someone says something nasty, just consider the source, & let it roll off. Like water off a duck’s back. I know it’s easier said than done esp. when it comes to family. I don’t know anything about it, but I know friends who have/had little ones, & they can wear you out. If we had even a fraction of their energy it would help us alot!!!
Watching nature is so much fun. Except for tornados, etc.

Gail,
Those dueling protests have given Portland a black eye. It’s two different far left & far right factions that protest each other. The protests end up in violence. I’m not even sure what it is they’re protesting. In the 70s it was the Vietnam war, but I’m not sure what they’re protesting. Mostly it’s an excuse to do damage to stores, break windows, etc.
Colleen, I’m sorry my idea about the white sandy beaches won’t work for ya, but I tried!! lol I hope you find one you like & will for ya.
Well, I guess that’s all for today.
oh, they announced the stars for DWTS. I know a few of them, but not very many. Are any of you gonna watch? I don’t know when it starts. It’s been quite awhile since it was on. I heard there will be some big changes, but they wouldn’t say what they are. They probably changed the dance floor,/studio.
Have any of you watched Kim Gravel shows? she’s abit too loud for me.
Take care now.
Stay safe.

Hi Ladies,
Well, it was another lazy weekend. It was overcast & cool all day Sat., but the clouds burned off early today & had a lovely afternoon. It was down right cold this morning! I was thisclose to turning up the heat, but didn’t. We’re in for another mini heatwave for a couple days, then back to clouds & possible rain mid week.
Sue, PRAISE THE LORD, your tests came out negative. Such wonderful news!!! I’m so happy for you. I know how worried & scared you were. As for the car, I’ve heard Subaru’s are one if not the safest cars on the road. I wanted one yrs ago but they were too expensive for my budget. The one I wanted was more like a station wagon than an SUV. And as for the pic, I’ve had that happen to my pics on several occasions! I don’t know if it shows up when you get my posts, but once in a while it comes up ERROR.., meaning the pic couldn’t go through for whatever reason. Usually it’s the size & it wouldn’t fit. I tried to send a short video of snowball a few days ago & it wouldn’t go through. I guess this site is pretty finicky as far as photos/videos are concerned.

In my experience with taking care of the elderly, they call it ‘sundowners syndrome’ when they get their days & nights mixed up/turned around. I had one lady want to go to confession at 3 AM in the morning. I said absolutely not. I wasn’t about to take her out that time of day for anything.
Adele, I love your halloween decor. Like I told ya I wanted those dishtowels, mitts in Pumpkin Patch, but by the time I can afford it, they’ll be gone. But, there will be Christmas patterns coming soon.
That salad you described sounds delish!!
Colleen, I’m glad you found the rug you liked. I thought a neutral tweed would be the best idea. Now for the island. I prefer one with white sandy beaches, & beautiful waters. Ohh that’s the wrong kind of island. lol
Did any of you see on the news the eagle in a lake that was fighting to stay afloat? a fisherman recorded it & turned out the eagle was trying to get a big Huskie fish to the shore. It wasn’t giving up till he got it to the shore. It was one really big fish!!!
Well, that’s all for today.
Have a great week & stay safe!!

PS: Those turkeys sound like several T’giving or Christmas dinners. sorry, I couldn’t resist. I believe there’s a town that was completely taken over by wild turkeys.

Hi again,
I’m not sure what happened. My computer locked up for some reason, then it sent two of my posts.
I was gonna explain, I got my set of the 4 mini bakers from Temptations. They’re ADORABLE!!! So now I have harvest in most if not all the patterns. I don’t need large sets of it. Anyway, I set the box they came in out in the middle of the living room to see if furball would do anything. Sure enough she did. It was hilarious!!
Sue, take it easy. Don’t over do yourself too much. I think we all to the point where we can’t do as much as we used to, even 5 yrs or so ago. I know I can’t.
So just take it slow & easy, please.
Well, I’ll sign off for now.

Hi Ladies,
summer has returned, for now anyway. We really had a taste of fall this weekend. We broke a record for rain in a 24 hr or less period Sat. night. We had more rain that night than we ever have. we DON”T get alot of rain in August!! July & August are our driest/hottest months of the yr. I sent a local tv station’s write up to my FB friends. Then this morning I swear there was fog around the area. That’s a clear sign of fall in the air. Here anyway, I hope the temps are falling out your way.
Girls, Antonella is fine. she’s been on a couple or so of shows. She was on yesterday with VitaMix, today for jewelry, & 2hrs with Lisa Renna. So she’s doing fine. Yayyyyyy!!! Oh she did an hr with HairUwear, she was wearing one of the wigs in her natural color. Knowing she’s Italian it’s hard for me to see her as a blonde.
Adele, I’m so sorry about yur beautiful tree!! I’m glad you were able to save some of the flowers. I love hydrangeas.
Colleen, I agree, can’t your replace the island in your kitchen? I don’t have a clue how they’re put in or anything. Is a shame it got broke. Can you salvage any part of it? Perhaps use at least part of it in another part of the house. I’d put another one in if you need the space for stuff.
It sounds like all of you had good times with your little people. I hope Barbara had a wonderful visit with Colin

Hi Ladies,
I hope this finds everyone fine. I think we’re in for an early fall. It sure looks & feels like it. there’s a weather system that’s brought alot of thunderstorms on the East side of the state. and it’s affecting us too. Some of the system came up from the south & it’s been here all day, & really opened up tonight.

Before I forget, ITKWD will be 5 hrs Sunday, & there’s alot of Temptations, with boo-fetti included in the show. Looked like alot will be new. there’s Pumpkin patch, & FL Pumpkin, too.
Barbara, I hope you’re safe. I heard about that escaped killer on the news, too. AIltho I doubt he’d stick around. I’ll keep you in my prayers. I agree with you about the body needs alot of rest after any kind of surgical proceedure. After having a few myself I know it’s true.
I hope you have a wonderful time with little Colin. I’m sure he’ll love the cake. I still don’t understand your dil & her family not having any kind of party for their kids. I didn’t have big parties, but my mom did bake a cake & decorate it with those candy decorations, & candles. Nothing fancy, but that’s fine. taking a 3 yr old to a museum is beyond my comprehension. a children’s museum I can understand.
Adele, I’m glad you enjoyed the Halloween show. they did have some new stuff. Since they don’t have much for halloween I’m not surprized most of it sold out. The ghost, the black cat, sold out in both shows. They went faaaaaaaaast!!!
Oh, Antonella had a reaction to some meds she’d taken & it took affect sooner than she expected. She was embarrassed beyond words.
Snowball has taken over my TV cart. It’s funny cause there’s hardly any room there for her to move. Cats!!! She’s very entertaining.
Well, I guess that’s all for tonight.
stay safe!!
