Hi Ladies,
I think I told you I was having problems with the computer awhile back. Turns out it was the modem. I called Comcast last week when it kept coming up I wasn’t connected to the internet. They tried fixing it over the phone, to not avail. They sent out a guy Sat. morning with a new one. It’s supposed to be more powerful than the old one. So I shouldn’t have anymore trouble. (knock on wood).
We had a gorgeous weekend & it continues thru Thurs. At least we’re drying out for a change. I’ve been getting out as much as I can!!!

Are you entering the contest QF is putting on? I got an email today & for the heck of it I entered it. For $1000 why not??!
I couldn’t win if I was the only one to enter!! So I’m not holding my breath.
Sue, I pray your surgery goes well, as well as your therapy.

Colleen, belated congrats on your anniversary!!! I pray you are drying out now. I hope you’re all safe from all the flooding & tornadoes.
Not much going on so I’ll close for now.
Stay safe everyone!!

Hi girls,
I’m safe. We had some thunderstorms due to the sudden heat yesterday. The worst we’re in the mts, & Eastern Oregon.
They moved thru quickly & I didn’t see much lightning. I think the tornado warnings were down by Crater Lake, 300 miles south of here. It’s closer to the Oregon/Ca., border.
It’s about 30 degrees cooler today. Overcast but nice.
Just thought I’d let you know I’m ok🙃

Hi Ladies,
We had a taste of summer yesterday & today. But the clouds returned, along with thunderstorms. Sudden heat causes that here. I’m in no danger. We don’t have storms like you guys have. I hope those storms stop soon. We’ll have rain tomorrow, & showers off & all over the weekend & next week. We’ll be 30 degrees colder too. Be lucky to get up to the 60s. Oregon weather in the spring. Roller coaster, or weather whip lash.
I ordered the burgers for the end of June in time for the 4th. that way I can check out the reviews & if they’re not good I can cancel before they ship. They always look so bloody on the TV. I don’t like that at all. The ones they have on display look like a heart attack waiting to happen!!!! All that cheese & bacon. I’m surprised David hasn’t had a heart attack watching him eat all that fat & calories.
Speaking of heart attack, I went to the cardiologist today & he says I’m gonna live. He doesn’t want to see me till next Nov. unless I have issues before then. I think with the warmer (??) weather coming on & being able to get out more I’ll feel a lot better. Just seeing that strange bright orb in the sky helps.
Sorry if I gave you guys a start there. You can’t get rid of me, you’re stuck with me.
WOW!!! I just heard we hit 85 today. I hadn’t heard that earlier.
Ok, that’s all for tonight.
Take care. Stay safe!!

Hi Adele,
Thanks for the feedback on your purchases on the Q. I’ve bought Kansas City Steaks steak burgers in the past & wasn’t impressed. They’d shrink, curl up & were tough. I also got those famous ball park hot dogs from Yankee Stadium yrs ago & they didn’t taste any different than hot dogs I had before. salty too. I;m sorry the pot stickers didn’t work out for you. If I were closer I’d take em off your hands & try em. What flavor did you get, just out of curiosity.
I got those holiday sides one year & they were good. They had a small ham & 2 sides for one of the holidays, & it was great. The ham was delicious!! Smithfield ham. I haven’t seen them in a while now. I wonder if they stopped dealing with the Q.
It was a gorgeous day today!! The last time we had more than 2 consecutive days of sunny weather was back in January when we had 5 days, but the temps were in the 20s!! Not exactly swimsuit weather, lol.
I’m gonna try & send some pics I took of Jewell last week. She curled up on my chest (shelf) & fell asleep. I couldn’t see it till I got the phone out & took some selfies. She’s not the least bit spoiled is she??!!
I have an appt. tomorrow with my cardiologist. I’ll keep ya posted as to what transpires.
Take care.

PS. I couldn’t find my pics so ill have to try next time. sorry.

Hi Ladies,
I’m baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!! I was incommunicado for awhile. So here we are in a new month already!! Where did April go?? I hope everyone is fine & in no danger from those horrible storms I’m hearing about!!! We’ve been wet, but that’s nothing new! We are however in for a taste of summer today & tomorrow. YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! We went from the 50s heading for the high 70s, maybe 80s!!! Loooooooooong over due!!!
Believe me NO ONE is complaining. But then we drop back to the 60s the rest of the week, with showers. Not heavy rain like we had. We’ve set all kinds of records with our rain this year.. we’ve had rain for the over 150 days. Our water year begins on Oct. 1st, ends Sept. of the next yr. We have surpassed all records dating back to the 1880s!!! No more drought out here. And the snow hasn’t even started melting yet.
My eye is back to normal. I went to my primary doctor & he prescribed a tube of a gel like ointment for ecxema & it worked. It was really bad behind my ears. I;m just glad my eye is better.
I see you were talking about lumber mills. Oregon was known for our timber industry back in the day. I grew up in a lumber town. The lumber mills employed most of the town. Now they’re long gone, just skeletons of yrs gone by. Just a memory. Even the paper mill that was a big employer is gone.

Is anybody getting those steak burgers on the Q today? I’m thinking about it. That way I’d have my burgers for the summer. They look soooooooooo good, I wish I could reach thru the TV & grab a couple!!!
Well, I guess I’ve bored you long enough.
Stay safe

Hi Ladies,
I hope you’re all doing fine. We have a new season out here, winter-spring, combined. We have a river of storms coming in all week! I HATE it!!! They say the mts could get a foot of snow this week!!
Thank all of you for your prayers & kind words concerning my friends’ passing. It still doesn’t seem real. She was younger than me.
Wasn’t that sad about Erin Moran, from “Happy Days”? I read where they think she died of cancer, but not confirmed yet.
Well, I guess that’s all for now.
Have a great week 🙃
Dd
Do you think if I wished hard enough I could get to this destination?? 😂

Hi Ladies,
Just a quick note. A friend of mine passed away Thurs. evening from heart & kidney failure. We took care of the same elderly woman. Cindy & her mother would take over for me on my weekends off.
Her daughter, Hallie refers to me as her aunt, even though we’re not related. Cindy referred to me as her best friend.
Anyway it’s been a rough week for everyone. It’s not like we didn’t know. She’d been ill for quite some time.
On a different note, we Finally hit the 70 degree mark today!!! Won’t last long though. Rain is already on the way. Rain showers will be around all next week, ickkkkkk!
Have a wonderful weekend!!
