Hi Ladies,
I hope everyone is doing fine. I was able to get out to the store today. We woke up to cloudy skies & cooler temps. the orginal alert exxpired this afternoon, but they issued another one later in the day. There was a nice breeze when I walked over to the store. IT feels like the onshore breeze has started up, cuz I sure can tell the difference. It should clear out this weekend.
I had a post written out & it vanished yet again!!!
Barbara it was great to hear from you. We get worried when we don’t hear from ya. Yes it is tinder dry out here. Fires keep popping up. The poor fire fighters must be beyond exhausted. As for the bugs we’ve had issues with em since I’ve been here. The other residents are the biggest problem. they either have em & don;t report it, or they let people in who bring em in with em. Mostly homeless when they shouldn’t be letting them in. I don’t even know how I ended up with em. I don’t have people coming in, but I must’ve picked em up somehow. I do have bites around my ankles, but they dissappear quickly. Your little itty bitty must be growing by leaps & bounds.
Gail, I saw another ad for the compression socks.. these zip up the back & are open toed. I think they have black & beige available.
Adele, I hope you’re doing better. I’ll be sending some cute Halloween pics I found..glad you found your Mr. Halloween somewhere else.
Isn’t that sad about Aretha passing away. all the talk shows have been paying tribute to her all day.
Well,, that’s all I have for tonight. I better get off here before I lose it again.

Hi Ladies,
I started a post earlier but lost it so I’m gonna try again. I had to sign back in tho.
Oh Colleen, I’m sorry to hear your latest news. You & Ron must be devastated. Those hospice nurses are angels for sure. It was good of them to allow her to spend his last moments with him that way. God Bless em. Sending love & hugs to you.
Adele, it gets easier as time goes by. It’s raw right now, so be good to yourself. And like I told ya before, write down your memories of her. It really does help. Those ornaments are adorable. That helps too. Keep the hands busy. I’m glad you enjoyed the Halloween pics. I found the T-shirts on my FB page, that’s where I find those pics I send. I figured out how to save em. I found another website featuring blankets/quilts. I’ll be sending some along with this post. Some are really cute.
We woke up to a thick layer of smoke from the fires in Ca. & now Canada. It looked like an October morning when I got up, except it was smoke. It’s supposed to be this way for a couple days. I won’t be going out anytime soon. Once the wind changes & starts coming off the Pacific it’ll push it out of here. Say, would you send that rain out here?? I know I keep harping on it but it’s so dry fires keep popping up. I’m sure you’d love to send it out here.

Well, the bug guy came today. When I came back, I found he had sprayed the sofa & rocking chair, which means he found some. that also means he’ll be back in a couple weeks to check everything out. I told Kay today I don’t feel the animosity this time like I did last yr. This guy comes early, gets done so I don’t have to wait all day. and he’s nicer too. I hope he got em all this time!!

I got a small catalog from Montgomery Ward this week. I haven’t seen a MW catalog in decades. I remember getting the big ones growing up. they always had the cutest clothes back in the day.

Did anyone see the bridge collapse in Italy? I saw clips of it but didn’t see the whole thing. I don’t remember who had family over there, but I hope they’re safe.
Well, I better get off here before I lose this one too.
Take care.

Hi Ladies,
Gail, have you seen these new socks that zip up your leg? I saw this ad on my FB page for socks that zip up the leg. Go to Planter Socks & see for yourself. Unlike regular socks, the toes are cut out so your toes are free. You step into them pull em up & zip em up. They’re called the Open Toe Plantar Compression Socks. Good Luck.
I know what you mean about the seasons. I’m looking forward to the cooler temps of fall, but not the cold dreary days of winter. It seems like it takes foreverrrrrrrrrrrr for summer to get here, then when it does it just flies by soooooooooo faaaaaaaaaaaast!!! I do wish we could get just some of that rain out here. We had a few rain drops over the weekend, but it’s gone.
I don’t really have a whole lot to write about today. Just getting ready for the bug guy tomorrow. We’ll be going down to Kays for the 4 hr lay over. We have to stay away 4 hrs during the treatment.
Well, I guess that’s all I have for today.
Take care everyone.

PS: I told a friend that when she sees a butterfly it meant her mother was communicating with her.

Well, it happened again, it posted before I was ready. I don’t know what causes it. I don’t hit submit.
We’ve been having 2-3 days of really hot weather, then it cools down for a few, then back to hot. We just had a couple days of cloudy days, & even some rain. But not nearly enough. IT did push out the smoky haze we’ve had for a few days. We’re getting the smoke from the Ca. fires. So. Oregon is really bad with it. It just makes the sky hazy with a pink cast. The fires out here are mostly contained now. They were mostly farm land, & wheat fields. Not sure how they got started, but I did hear farm equiment might have started one. We could use some of that rain you guys are having.
I have another inspection on Tues. I hope I pass it so I can unpack & get back to normal. It’ll seem strange when I get back to sleeping in my bed again.
I thought those Halloween decorations would go fast. I see where this week starts Temptation dayz for 2 weeks with all new stuff.

Oh Colleen, I’m sorry, I didn’t send my codolences. I went back & read about your family’s death in the family. I apologize. Sending hugs & love. I don’t always get all the posts read.
I better get off here before I lose it again.
Have a great week girls.

dd & Jewell

Hi Ladies,
It seems like it’s been ages since I was on here. I hope this finds everyone doing fine. Adele, I know you’re not doing so well right now. I’m soo sorry for your loss. Write down all your memories of Winnie. When my mom passed away yrs ago a therapist told me to write down my memories of her, good & bad. I wouldn’t worry about the soup. I doubt very much it was the cause. From all you were telling us about her in the last days, it didn’t sound good to me. Sending big hugs to you. Jewell sends her love too.

Hi Ladies,
I see they’re having Hello Fall TSV on the Q tonight. And fall stuff all day tomorrow (Tues). I saw on FB that David is hosting A great big Halloween show
tomorrow. He was showing off the oversized decorations he’ll be showing. That’s the first Halloween stuff I’ve seen on the Q in a long time. I don’t remember seeing anything last yr.
The National Night out is 1-3pm tomorrow, in the heat of the day. They’re having a barbeque in the parking lot here.
I’m making this short, as I wanted to let ya know about the new TSV tonight. Don’t know what it is but I know they’ve been showing fall stuff in the ads.
Seems like summer just got started.
Take care everyone.

Hi Ladies,
I hope this finds everyone doing fine. I’m tired but that’s because I went out to Wally’s before the heat shows up. I won’t be going out when it gets so hot. We’re supposed to have our National Night out in our parking lot, not in the evening but in the heat of the afternoon!!!
Adele, those ornaments are adorable. I wish I could make em. They look light & wouldn’t bend the tips on the tree.
I sent the pics to your FB page. I’ll see if I can send em on here this time.
Sue, I hope you had a great b/day. Did you do any celebrating?
Did you guys tune into ITKWD today? Kicking off the presale of his new cookbook. I put my order in as I have his others. Some of those recipes he had on today sure sounded delish. He even made his nemesis, brussell sprouts, & ate one on national TV!
Well, that’s all I have for today.
Take care all & have a great week ahead.
