Hi Ladies,
I’m gonna try to send a pic of the fire from my FB page. And some humor to go along w/ it.
ddHi Ladies,
I imagine you’re all watching QF right now. I ordered the velour vest & shirt in chocolate(vest) with the orange(leaves) top. I don’t have anything for fall. I have every other season tho. There were so many I wanted, but I went for that set. Now I need a pair of fall color pants to go with it.
Well, I don’t know if you’ve heard, but there’s a horrible fire going on just outside of Portland. Actually it’s in the East part of the county. It was started by teenagers lighting fireworks over the weekend. I can’t say on here what I’d like to say. I just hope the authorities come down on em with a sledgehammer.
IT’s up to 10,000+ acres & headed West. The smoke is so bad it looks like a foggy October day. It’s really bad. Ash is falling like snow, except it’s 90+ degrees outside. the weather’s supposed to take a turn for the better tomorrow, but that’s not soon enough. Some small communities are on evacuation alerts. Some have already been evacuated. It’s a NIGHTMARE!!!!
Hey Gail, do you see any rain in our near future? I sure hope so!!!!
I just got an update: According to a witness she heard the teenagers giggling as they threw the fireworks down into a canyon. She reported it but by that time the fire was already going. I’ll bet those kids aren’t laughing anymore.
well, I better close for now.
ddHi Ladies,
Sorry for the delay. I’ve been busy trying to unpack from the bug thing. she FINALLY signed off that I didn’t have em any more. I actually started doing a little bit before hand just nothing the bugs could hide in.
It’s hotter than he– out here!! And the state of Oregon is in flames!!! I don’t know if you’ve heard or not that we have 17 or 18 fires going on right now. We sure could use some of that rain you guys have right about now. This Labor day weekend is going to be the hottest on record. Monday we’re supposed to hit 100+!!! On top of that the smoky haze has returned. It had cleared out when the ocean breeze came thru for a few days. The haze isn’t too bad right now, but will get worse in the next couple days. the kids return to school Tues. & they predict 100 degrees that day. since the schools don’t have AC they’re going to let the kids out early, just like they do when it snows. This will be a first in history. Normally the temps start dropping by the end of Aug. first of Sept. Not this yr.Say, did any of you catch ITDW Mary Beth today? She was filling in for David today. At the end of the show a call came in from Eric in Pa. It was her son calling to let her know ( & the viewing audience) that she was going to be a grandmother for the first time. It was soooo sweet.
Tara was there with a couple things from Temptations. One was a new pie plate w/ a carrier & the other had been on before, a set of bowls, w/ a patter, I would love to have it but it’s too much for me, I don’t have a family. I did order a small set of 3 bakers in Pumpkin Patch. they don’t look all that big.
I haven’t read the posts yet so if I don’t comment on em that’s why.
I’m recovering from the fall nicely. I still have some pain, but nothing like before; I can go to the store, & normal housekeeping. Well I guess that’s all for now.
Have a great Labor day, & a great week.
ddHi Ladies,
Just a quick note before the long weekend. Hey Adele, how about sending your pool out here!! It’s gonna be in the upper 90s & even 100 over the weekend!! IT’s gonna be 100 on Monday & Tues. the first day of school. From the sounds of it it’s gonna be hot all next week. The schools here don’t have any AC so the kids will be miserable. No rain in sight & we could use a good downpour or two to help with the wildfires out here.It may sound crazy, but it feels like Friday today.
I hope you’re all feeling better now. It’s no fun feeling poorly over a holiday weekend. Take care all, & enjoy the weekend.
dd & JewellColleen,
Feel better real soon. I don’t always feel like posting on here either. Hope it isn’t anything serious.
dd & JewellHi Ladies,
I hope you’re all okay. It was cooler today, but the smoke from the fires came back.. it was awful!!! It’s supposed to cool off for the next couple of days then we heat up again. From the looks of it it’s supposed to last into next week. And I’m talking triple digit temps. UGH!!! From what I’m hearing on the local stations is that this hot weather here is what’s causing the problems in Texas. The dome of hot weather here is forcing the tropical storm to stay in its place & not moving on.
Adele, did you get your dishes? I’ll bet they’re gorgeous!!! Isn’t there something you can put on your table to hide the scratch? Furniture oil or something? Or is it too deep? Just asking.
Oh I was mistaken about the mini wreaths. They’re from Bethlehem Lights, not VPH. They’re so cute they could easily be a VPH item.
Jewell is much better today. The bedroom was several degrees cooler & that made a lot of difference. She’ll really be cooler when she gets her hair cut Sat.
I know it’s not the end of Aug. just yet, but it’s almost over. Where did it go??
take care
ddHi Ladies,
I hope everybody is doing fine. I’m getting better day by day. I’m off the pain pills & the PT for the shoulder. I made such good progress with the shoulder the therapist felt I didn’t need to continue. Just keep doing the exercises he gave me to do & keep doing my normal household duties, just lift any heavy tubs. I can vacuum, mop the floors, etc.
I’ve heard Vick’s VapoRub is good for toenail fungus. Apply to your nails at bed time, then put on white sox & it works during the night. I’m not sure if it works overnight or if you have to do it for several days/nights. It’s the menthol or eucalyptus that kills the fungus.
One part of the country is drowning in waaaaaaaaay toooooooo much water & we could use some of that water out here, to put out the fires. Most of the state is burning up. We have the smoke & haze in the skies here again, along with two more heatwaves. It got up to near 100 today. It’s supposed to be that hot again over the holiday weekend. The hottest I’ve seen in quite sometime. It usually rains or is turning chilly by Labor day weekend.I was naughty last week on the CIA show. I ordered some VPH items for Christmas. the two snowmen with the kids, & the two mini wreaths. And over the weekend I ordered the Corky’s drumsticks for the holiday weekend. I thought I’d have them with my potato salad & some kind of dessert. Watermelon maybe.
I’m praying for the tropical storm/hurricane TO STOP!!! Those poor people!! I heard the storm is gaining more strength & making another pass thru the same area!!!
Adele, we don’t get QVC2 on our cable system either. I do get it on my computer by going to the QVC main site & type in QVC2 in the box & it pops up. I can get it on my phone too.
Jewell was supposed to get groomed today but for some reason didn’t put her name down on the schedule, so they’ll be out on Sat. I had to wrap her up in one of my towels I wet down & put in the fridge for my shoulder. I didn’t put it directly on her from the fridge, tho. I used it so I got it warmed up for her. she wasn’t sure what I was doing at first, but she calmed down & relaxed. her breathing slowed down then she wanted down so I knew she was better. Silly girl stays in the bedroom where it’s soooooooooooo terribly hot & won’t come out here where I have the AC on during the day.
I’m rambling on now so I better go.
Take care.
ddHi Adele,
Were you addressing me or Sue about the rail? I’m assuming you meant me. I’ll look it up. If you want to get rid of some of those Harvest or pumpkin mugs, I’ll buy them from ya. That way I could have something from each pattern. I try to find something small to add to my temptations collection that way.
I don’t have enough room for full sets of dishes, since I have a set in the rose pattern. One person doesn’t need that many dinnerware sets, or bakeware sets. Heavy, too.Went to the Dr. today, & my b/p was low for me,92/50 she said. the only thing I can think of was I fell asleep in the waiting room. It was my nap time, lol
The Dr. didn’t seem to be alarmed about it. the pain has subsided a lot this week. this time last week I could barely breathe!! Forget about taking a deep breath!!
Gail, I’m not sure why I’m falling out of bed these days! I wish I knew. Even the Dr. couldn’t explain it to me. He thought maybe I started out laying on my stomach, but I haven’t done that in yrs. It’s bizarre to say the least. I’m gonna see if I can find that railing Adele talked about earlier. If I get something close to me, hopefully it’ll keep me from falling out.I’m still hearing stories about the eclipse out here. Seems people were so overcome with emotion, they teared up. It went absolutely quiet when it happened. Eastern Oregon was the best place to be. It went completely dark over there. It went dark here too, but it wasn’t as dark. There was just a sliver of sun. People in awe of God’s Majesty, even if they don’t want to admit it. Who but God could do that.
Are you noticing the sun is down at 8 pm now. Getting dark earlier every night. Sigh.
Well, I’ll close for now.
Take care.
Sorry to hear you didn’t win the lottery Adele. Maybe next time.

PS It’s Christmas all day on the Q today (Friday)Hi Ladies,
I’m baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!! It’s been a week now so I thought I better let ya know I’m getting better. It’s rather embarrassing. I took a HARD TUMBLE out of bed last Tues. night. I hit the floor on my right side. I had to take the ambulance to the ER the next morning. I could barely breathe, I was in so much pain. They did a C scan & said I didn’t break any bones or injure any of the major organs. My ribs were badly bruised tho. I’ve heard that’s worse than breaking them. I can finally breathe deeply, & am getting around better now. they put me on the heavy duty pain killers. Thank you for all the prayers & well wishes. I was afraid I may have punctured one of my lungs when I hit so hard. I have no clue why I do this. I’m in a dead sleep when it happens. Hitting the floor is what wakes me up. I’m gonna have to look into getting rails for the bed. All I’ve been able to find are for little kids.Well, the eclipse came & gone. I tried to record it on my phone, but I’m not sure it came out. I did record it off the TV. The local stations had crews all over from the Oregon coast to Eastern//Central Oregon, which had the best view of it. The clouds/fog rolled in at the coast which kind of blocked the perfect view of it.
Everyone was so over whelmed when it happened. the tv crews tried to explain what it was, but I summed it up to this: they were in awe of God’s handiwork!!! Just that simple.
Adele, I don’t know if you know this, but the Harvest & Pumpkin Patch dinner ware sets are back in stock. I saw them on my phone this morning. They are GORGEOUS!! Hard to decide.
Did all of you see the QF show yesterday? Gail, they had the most beautiful butterfly shirt. It was of Monarch butterflies that go diagonal down the front & on the left sleeve. GORGEOUS!!!! In red, black or espresso. I want one of each, 0f everything!!!I thought we were done with the heat, but they’re saying that starting this weekend we’re going back into the 90s for a few days!! Today is overcast with cool temps.
I got my lock & lock set in Iris, & it is a beautiful blue with a hint of purple. Not a lot tho.
I haven’t read all the posts, so give me a couple days to catch up. I know I’m forgetting something, but I’ll remember after I sign off. Never fails!! -
