Good Morning! Raining and 55 going up to 70. We’ve had a little bit of lightning too.
I definitely am having “weather-rib” today. The broken rib area feels quite achy.
Yesterday when I got home from running an errand I noticed how lovely our ‘Bloodgood’ Japanese Maple tree looked on the far side yard. It’s grown tall enough that I could see a portion of it at the corner of our house from the driveway.
Very pretty picture Kathy
Thank you ❤️
the Japanese Maple is looking very good; beautiful plant 💖
Unfortunately, as we age, it takes longer to heal; that rib will be sore/ache for quite awhile — sometimes i really don’t like getting older. 🤔
I am so sorry you broke your rib Kathy, prayers for healing. 🙏
Thank you 💜 Yeah, I coughed so hard back on March 17th that I unknowingly broke my left lateral seventh rib under my bra band. But I didn’t know that happened until last Friday after some X-rays were ordered so I didn’t know that I needed to avoid certain activities until it heals.
Good morning,
Sunny and chilly outside, nice and cozy warm in the cabin. 😊
Yesterday I was busy putting away food stuff and getting clothing situated. It was a warm beautiful day, I sat outside a bit to enjoy and relax.
Cooked hamburgers for supper with a big slice of tomato on top 😘
Hi Jenn.
Pleased that you are now back in your cozy cabin.
On my computer when I i open a new window your cabin is my wall paper.
When and if you go for an extension to the cabin post a new pic here and I will update the one I have. 😘
🥰
Glad you are getting settled. We had garden tomatoes in our salad last night, the first ones but they are small.
Hi Jenn
I can tell you have a sense of peace now that you are getting settled at your nice cabin 😌💜
Happy you’re getting re-settled in your cozy cabin {{HUGS}}
Good morning
I did some cleaning of things that are not weekly cleaning. We thought we got our income tax check yesterday but turns out it was a letter from the IRS. I guess they are only doing this electronically now, no on told us. So I tried to make an account so I could give them our new routing # to checking account. That did NOT go well. So I might call at 4:00am our time when the IRS OPENS.
Rick made chicken parm last night and I thought you you and Glenda.
Hi Ardy.
You just can’t beat it it looks very tasty indeed. 😘
That was from two breasts so we have another meal for today.
Hi Ardy,
That sounds confusing with the income tax. We do our taxes on TAX ACT and it always comes electronically. I hope you can get it worked out soon.
Chicken parm looks good.
We also use TAX ACT and get our refunds electronically.
We werent aware they dont send paper checks. I read they wont or cant change your account # for you. So I tried again this morning…what a hassle making an account and having it verified, had to take pics of drivers license, video pic of me….etc.
then enter your account # …..it said it was successful so we shall see.
Good morning. Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam. What a turn around from yesterday cloudy with a strong NE wind gusting to 25mph.with some showers as well. Sat out yesterday but not today although the forecast for the rest of the week is warmer with some sunshine up to 69F. We have a lot of Starlings visiting now because we put out Raisins for the Blackbirds and the starlings love them as well. I bought 5 kilos of raisins from Amazon for birds so they ought to last awhile.lol. Topping up the bird bath a couple of times a day… Read more »
Good morning Ice
Sounds like you enjoyed sitting out yesterday. And sounds like your birds will be happy eating raisins.
A truly miserable day today Ardy and that wind is cutting when you step outside.
That does not stop the Starlings diving into the bird bath.lol. 😘
Good morning Ice,
Yikes, what a change in weather you had. How nice you were able to sit outside yesterday.🤗
I never heard of feeding birds raisins, how nice you are buying them for the birdies.
Sure hope you get your pretzel today. 😀
Hi Jenn.
A huge difference today that comes because we sat outside yesterday.lol.
They just love the raisins they fight over them on the feeder. 😀
Well stocked with Pretzels today. 😘
Good morning After church on my way to the car I of course had to visit with my friends I saw along the way. I went to Walmart and they now have the new side open with the aisles stocked. They dont have produce or meat yet which is no big deal for me because Rick does the food shopping at Frys’. They are still three months away from being done. The Grand opening is Aug 8th. I came home and Rick helped me unload the car and then I went to Macy’s to pay the bill that is due… Read more »
Never seen one of those before very unusual !
They are common out here.
What a spectacular cactus.
our old Walmart is now a warehouse that sells discount furniture. They built a brand new one..I remember how shocked I was to see it at first, it looked huge…it doesn’t now that I’m used to it. We don’t go there often,..like DH says, it’s like walking in someone’s basement, lol…and McD’s..he says it’s like being in a garage…not much of an ambience…that’s how they remodel fast food restaurants now, I guess.
😀
What a beautiful cactus 💛
😘
So nice to have the cactus blooming around the church.🌵
Ice, I wonder if your GD Georgie saw this man running in the Marathon while knitting the longest scarf. 😍 This was his story for why he did it, very touching. On 26 April I’m running the London Marathon while knitting a scarf. Yes. At the same time. I’m aiming for a world record, but this isn’t about the record. It’s about my mum. She has Huntington’s Disease. It slowly steals movement, speech, independence. Watching someone you love change like that, and feeling helpless, is brutal. There’s no cure. You just try to show up. I’m doing this… Read more »
😘
Hi Jenn, one of my congregation died from Huntingtons and I am pretty sure his son might have it too, a horrible long lasting disease !
What a great thing that man is doing for his dear mother not easy but he will do it for her ! ❤
oh wow, I’ll have to tell my DS this story…i have a friend with that disease, her mom had it too.
So sad for your friend and her mom. 😥
It is a wonderful thing this man is doing in honor of his dear mother. 💗
So sad for your friend and sad about his son having it also.
Hi Jenn.
What an incredible story, heart rendering. 🙏
Yes, very heart rendering Ice. 🙏
Hi Jenn
What a touching story 💗
Good morning from Maine! We made it and so so so happy to be waking up in the cabin this morning. Yesterday was very busy getting the U-haul unloaded and everything in the storage unit. A couple were there unloading their stuff, they were moving from New York to an island in Maine. They had a beautiful wooden book shelf and they offered it to us since they could not fit it in their storage unit. We were down to loading the last heavy stuff, Denny’s big rolling tool box and my desk and a few other things. A guy… Read more »

Good morning Jenn
We have been waiting to hear from you. Glad you are in Maine now and spent your first night. I cant wait to hear about what comes next.
Hi Ardy,
So good to be here, it is a gorgeous sunny day which is wonderful.
😘
Hi Jenn, no mention of Danny boy is he OK and loving the change !
Danny is fine, he is a trooper, a seasoned traveler. He sure was happy thought when we got to the camp. He ran all around checking everything out. 😀
Hi Jenn
So happy for the three of you to be back home in Maine 🙂
Thank you Kathy, wonderful to be here.
