Hi Ladies,
I did a post last night & lost it so I shut down for the night..
First of all, Adele, if you want the Boofetti I’d order asap! Tara showed a sample of what’s coming up Wed. & she said it’s a one & done offer. Once the colors & patterns sell out that’s it. She also has egg hunt, harvest, festivefetti/Christmas, & boofetti in Old world. there’s festive, shamrock, & romantic in Floral lace as well as the reg colors in each pattern. I think she’s calling it sq-oval set. I’d love to order a set, but I don’t need anymore bake ware & I’m running out of room!! LOL. I hope I didn;t leave anything out. I knew you’d like the Boofetti.

I sure can feel fall in the air out here. we had a cooler than normal weekend, didn’t make it to 70 yesterday. Even had a few sprinkles, but not a big down pour. I had to pull out my jeans already. It’s partly sunny right now. It’s supposed to be in the low 80s for a day or two, then cooler again.
Adele, do you put the tomatoes in boiling hot water before peeling em? We always did that to peaches when mom canned em. Makes it so much easier to peel. I don’t mean cook em, just drop em in really hot water.
Congrats on your new sister. that’s wonderful for you. You still have a connection with Winnie, & that’s terrific!! What is Chesapeake Shores? I’ve never heard of it.
It is sad about John McCain. they ran tributes to him all day yesterday on CNN. He truely was a war hero, good man, good Senator. I think ding-bat has sealed his fate by being so cold about Sen. McCain. Voters have looooong memories.. I had to smile when I heard former Presidents Obama & GW Bush were asked to give eulogies at the service. I see they lowered the flags out here. We have flags on one of the bridges here & they’re lowered today.
Well, I better get this sent before I lose it again.
Have a grrrrrrrrrrrrreat week.

Hi Ladies,
I’m gonna try doing this again. I just got an email about the Temptations TSV coming up. It’s a 21 piece bakeware set, & it comes in BOOFETTI in Old World. IT’s new this yr as far as I know. I’ve never seen it before in a full set of Temptations. I’m pretty sure it’ll be the TSV on Wed. It’s really cute.

Oh, I’m pretty sure you;ve all heard of Pinterest. I went on there last night & I found numerous pics of Halloween from back in the day. Also Thanksgiving. You can find just about anything on there. That’s where I’ve gotten some of my old Victorian pics. I get most from my FB page but Pinterest helps a lot.
It’s a lot cooler out here today. I can feel fall in the air. Refreshing!!!
That’s about all for now.
take care.

Hi Ladies,
We went from hot dry summer right into fall, overnight!!! The air quality went from 167, dangerous to everyone, down to 14 in just a few hrs! When the winds switched to off the ocean they blew that smoke right out of here!! We could get some showers over the weekend. I was able to go to the store today. I had to get a jacket out cuz it was so much cooler.
I can’t believe it’s almost Labor day weekend next week. I can’t believe the kids are back in school already. The teachers in Wa. state are striking if they don’t get their pay raises. One district in Vancouver, Wa., across the river from us has already voted to strike. I don’t know what Oregon’s teachers are going to do. I havent’ heard.

I’ll have to google Dept. 56 & see what they have. On second thought, maybe I shouldn’t. LOL I could go broke!!I love villages. I got most all my “villages” from the Dollar Tree. More affordable that way.
Gail, on your computer should have an icon, looks like a gear, that is settings. Click on that & it will take you to several choices of operations. Look for notifications & see if it’s on or off.. If it’s off, click it to on & see what happens. It probably won’t work till you get back on the computer. Whenever you change something it won’t change till you turn off the computer,then restart it. It’s just a thought.
Just experiment & see what happens. That’s what I do. Have fun.
Guess I better get off here for now.
Have a great weekend!!!

Hi Sue,
I think I can safely speak for alot people out here & say we would LOVE to send you some of this hot dry weather we’ve had this summer. We broke another record this week for the most 90 degree days this summer. So far it’s 30 or 31 days. Our normal is around a dozen or so for all summer. Oh, in exchange for some of that rain you guys have been getting all summer long. As you see, I already posted before I saw yours.

I’m sorry you’re having such a bad time with your legs & back. Is it Osteoarthritis? From what I hear it’s really painful. Do you have a walker? I was given one when I went to the hospital when I fell out of bed. I used it to get up from the sofa or bed. I felt secure using it too. I took it back after I felt better & could get up on my own. Have you ever considered getting a power chair? I believe Medicare pays for it. When I first moved here & had signed up for Medicare I started getting notices in the mail for them. I have no idea where they got my name & address as I never looked into it.
Just a thought.
take care.

Hi Ladies,
FINALLLLLLY!!! The smoke is GONE!!! The winds changed this afternoon & blew it out of here!! Yesssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!! I took a nap & woke up to blue skies overhead. I let out a shriek of delight & joy. It was worse today but it’s gone now. I’m looking at blue skies & clouds that came in off the Pacific. I haven’t been able to open my windows all week it’s been so bad. It was bad for everyone, not just those with health issues. Kids weren’t allowed out to practice their sports or play outdoors.
No the hurricane won’t affect us. It’s on the other side of the world. Too bad, tho. We could use some of that wind & rain to help put out those fires & blow the smoke all the way outta here. It would definetly help clear out the air!
Adele, you keep that message for as long as you can. I kept a message someone left me for as long as my phone was working. I lost it as soon as the phone wasn’t working anymore. And don’t feel you;re being foolish or feel you have to explain it to us. We’re here & we don’t judge. IT’s not our place to.

What is Dept. 56? I’ve never heard of it. I don’t have a Halloween village. I do have a few items I put out on my door, but it’s mostly fall decor I put out.
I can feel fall in the air. It gets cooler at night, & quicker too. There’s a nip in the morning, too. I’m looking forward to the cooler temps that’s for sure.
Gail, congrats on your new laptop. It’s fun to get a new toy. It is for me anyway. Have fun with it.
I watched the show today, but didn’t get anything. Can’t afford to!!
Colleen, yes they do have to give us 48 hr notice that someone will be coming into my apt. It’s the law. They usually put the notice on the door several days before the date of inspection or bug treatments.
I’m glad you enjoy the pics I put on here.
I better get off here before I lose it & have to start all over again.

Hi Ladies,
Just a short note. There’s a QF show Thurs. afternoon. I think it said 3 pm ET. I didn’t get picked out for the random inspection today. They did go into
Kay’s, but the guy was in & out. He checked certain things & left & that was it. I guess everyone thought it was for housekeeping like our annual inspects.
I’m sick of this smoky air. It’s the worst I’ve ever seen. But there is light at the end of this mess. The winds are supposed to change to overnight & come in from the ocean. And the temps will drop down into the 70s. I think (hope) it’s the end of the 90’s for this summer. We could even get a few showers next week!!
I hope you get a good computer, Gail. I’ve got a couple from the Q on 6 easy pays. the first was a Dell, & it lasted me several yrs. Then I got an HP & it still works, but I can tell somethings aren’t working anymore.
Well, that’s all I have for tonight. ITKWM is on tonight with a new TSV. Don’t know what it is tho.

have a good day

Hi Ladies,
Greetings from the smoky capital of the NW. It’s supposed to get worse thru wed. night. we’re getting it from Canada, Eastern Oregon, & Idaho. The whole NW is under a thick layer of smoke from all the forest fires out here, oh I forgot the fires from Eastern Wash. I think this is alot worse than the smoke from the Gorge fire last year.
Adele, we still have a whole month of summer left. I won’t start decorating till next month. I have to get cleared of the bed bugs before I can unpack my stuff & put it away. Then I can have Diane help take the summer stuff out of here. She stores it in her beach house & I switch out each season. I’m in no hurry to take down my tropical pics just yet. My private islands, etc. lol (I can dream).
I don’t know who those ladies are. I think I know you, but not the others.
I could use some prayers for the fires & retail therapy. I’ve been doing more therapy than I should be doing. Not just things from the q, either. Altho it’s the biggest contributor.
I saw Sue had commented on a post on FB. Somebody had made a soup they showed on the q yesterday. She made it with her Vitamix, I guess.
There’s a random inspection tomorrow. The “suits” come in & inspect a certain # of apts to see if this place qualifies for Section 8. If they come here my place will be a mess due to the bug situation. I talked with the asst. manager & he told me what they’ll be looking for. Housekeeping isn’t a priorty this time. Just checking the fire sprinklers, can I get out in case of emergency, etc.
Jewell will sure be alot happier when things get back to normal. And yes she is alot of company for me. As soon as I lay down for a nap or go to bed at night she’s on top of me before I can get comfortable.

Well, I better got this off to ya before I lose the whole thing.
take care,

dd

Hi Gail,
LOL, you’re so funny. I’m glad I made you enjoyed the pics. The smoke is gone, FINALLY!!! It’s so wonderful to have the windows open & the AC off. Oh, Critt came home yesterday. He’d been back in the hospital due to dehydration. They’d given him so much diaretics that he got dehydrated. Makes ya wonder doesn’t it? But he needed to lose the fluids from around his heart.
Well, I don’t have much to gab about right now.

Haave a great weekend, everybody.
