Hi Ladies,
I hope this finds everyone doing okay. I see where the owner of the Pats got caught with his pants down, you might say. Ooooooops!!!! LOL. Men can do the DUMBEST THINGS!!!!
Well, this has to be the stranges Feb. on record out here. We could get some snow over the weekend. I keep getting notices on my phone about snow is inevitable this weekend, into Monday & Tues. We should be having temps closer to the 50s, at least in the 40s, but no we’re down into the 30s. It’s crazy here. I see on the news about all the terrible weather you’re having back there with more on the way. Did you see where Las Vegas got snow for the first time in decades. Everyone’s getting hit. I think we’ve made up for what we didn’t get in Nov-Jan. Instead of inches of snow on the mts they have several feet of it. That’ll help come summer.

I went & had my mamogram today. I should learn the results next week.
Oh, what did the winner do on AGT to win? I hope it wasn;t the one who threw up. Or whatever they called it. I hope it was something worth while & entertaining.
Well, I guess that’s all for now. Not much going on here.

Take care & stay safe & warm!!

Hi Ladies,
I’m baaaaaack! I see you guys haven’t been on here all that much either, so I guess I haven’t missed a whole lot. Colleen, I’ve been sending prayers your way. I hope they were able to get her UTI under control with more antibiotics. Adele is right about the IV in her veins is far quicker than pills. I hope that by the time you read this she’s a lot better & back home.
I apologize for not wishing everyone a Happy Valentine’s day the last time I was on here. So I hope all of you had a special day with your hubbies, & loved ones. A church group from a different church hosted a Valentine’s day dinner here. Lasagna, salad, garlic bread, cake & ice cream, & Kool Aid. They had a gospel singer from the church which I thought was a nice idea.

I don’t know if some of you got my FB post that I got last week that Rick Domeier’s mother had passed away. I know some of you don’t have Face Book, so I wasn’t sure if Sue or somebody had passed it along to the rest of you.
Barbara, I’m so glad I was able to bring back those cherished memories about the chickens. Roosters are ornery & mean. Territorial I think. I got a chuckle out of it. Isn’t it funny how one picture can bring up memories long forgotten.

ahhhh, the sun has peaked out from behind the clouds just now. We had quite a wild week with storms. Good thing is the mts are back to normal snow pack for this time of yr. Somewhere between 3-4 feet of snow has fallen up there this past week. Not down here, we got lots of rain. A couple days we had local flooding in some areas. I’m high enough that it doesn’t happen here. Street corners if the grates aren’t cleared out, but that’s all.

Oh, did any of you see David on the Today show Sat. morning? By the time I got up they had children’s programs on. I don’t watch the Today show anyway.
Well, I guess that’s all for today.
Take care & stay well. I hope everybody’s feeling better now. The measles outbreak is still ongoing. almost 60+cases reported in Wa. now.

Hi Ladies,
Just a quick note. I don’t know what’s in the news back there, but we’re getting hammered. Heavy rain down here, causing flooding in low lying areas, heavy snow in the higher elevations, you name it we have it. We had the 2 driest/warmest months of Dec. & Jan. which are normally our wettest/coldest months of the yr. Here comes Feb., & somebody flipped the switch, & BAM we have everything coming at us. We’re making up for what we didn’t get those 2 months. It’s truly bizarre how the West side of Portland didn’t see much if any snow the other day & the East side got hammered & still has most of that snow. The skiers are jumping for joy cuz the ski resorts are recording feet of snow instead of inches of snow now. Just be aware that what’s going on here will make it’s way East.
Did you see the pre-season gardening shows today. Makes me sad I can’t have any flowers here. I used to have a bunch of pots of mini roses, but they’re all gone now. sigh.

Well, that’s about it for now. take care, & stay safe & warm.

Hi Ladies,
I’m fine out here. We had a quasi-snowstorm the other day/night. It came down from Canada, of course, but instead of covering all of POrtland, it hit the East side the hardest. I;m on the West side & barely got a dusting. Some areas of the west side didn’t see any snow at all!!! Strange how that happened.
They say we’re supposed to get more later tonight & maybe later in the week. It’s when they don’t see it coming that it really hits!! I can think of at least 2 storms that hit Portland several yrs ago & they were surprized when they hit. At least it happened on the weekend, altho if we get more storms during the week that could be trouble. We don’t know how to drive in snow out here.
I maintain you guys would get a belly laugh at us out here trying to navigate the snow. We panic is what we do!!!
Colleen, I’m sorry to hear your mom fell. That can be traumatic to everyone. I hope she’s better.
Barbara, so did you get yourself a Valentine present on gem day? Or KF? I don’t have any KF, but it’s sure pretty. Unusual too. You don’t see jewelry like that everywhere. The shows are on so later (middle of the night out here), I don’t get to see some of the shows. What’s early in the AM out there it’s wee hrs of the morning for me. I don’t have a DVR so I can’t record the shows. Maybe that’s a good thing.
Gail, I take it you were delighted with gem day. I hope you got yourself something pretty.
Ok, I didn’t mean to offend anyone, so I’ll see what I can find of puppies. Sorry.
Well, that’s about it for now.
take care & stay warm.

I;m back. I don’t know what I did, but I didn’t mean to send it. I guess I have a computer poltergeist that does that!! lol

I won’t be watching tonight. I’ll be watching reruns of Criminal Minds. Just what someone with a criminal mind needs to watch. lol
He lies every time he opens his mouth, so I’m not gonna watch. Politics bores me anyway. Is a shame when it causes friends to part ways.
It’s just not worth it.
Oh, did you see the QF show yesterday for QF day? Too many cute tops I wanted. Sigh. I see it ran over the scheduled 2 hrs. Someone must’ve bailed or something. Maybe an emergency.
It’s gem day today, so there isn’t anything I wanna see.
Well, I’ll get off here for now.
dd & Jewell
PS: Glad you enjoyed the kitty pics.

Hi Ladies,
Well, we got the snow they predicted. Just a dusting, most of it has melted. The roads & streets were ice skating rinks tho this morning. The temps are gonna be even colder tonight so again they’ll be icy. I’m staying in for the time being. You guys would get a big laugh at us the way we roll up the sidewalks/streets at the first sign of a snow flake. LOL

Congrats Adele to the winners. I didn’t watch it, & from what I heard I didn’t miss much. My dinner was delish. I have enough leftovers for a couple more meals.

Hi Ladies,
Another Sunday afternoon & NOTHING on tv!!! Just another boring day. So what’s up with all of you? I hope those horrible weather systems are out to sea by now. Every time they tell us we’re getting snow it doesn’t show up or it’s so little that it’s barely a dusting. Where we reallly need it is in the mts. IT can stay there too!!
Adele, I WANT that kitty!! She’s GORGEOUS!!!

I plan on roasting a chicken for dinner, with Stove top stuffing & a veggie. I got some other things but will save them for later on.

Not a whole lot going on here, so far. Will keep ya posted on the snow. I think some people, essp the kids are hoping for a snowmageddon.
Oh Gail, I meant to tell ya this before, did you see the set of 8 butterfly solar powered lights for your garden? It was on last week in the garden day.
There are 5 colors to choose from, red, blue,purple, white, & multi. It’s M57323, preseason priced at $29.98. Sorry I forgot last time I was on here. (if my head wasn’t attached…)!
Well, I’lll get off here now.
Have a great week ahead & I hope it warms up!!
dd & Jewell
