This was great fun chatting with everyone this morning 😍
Have a great day
You too 🙂
With very little searching I found an easy way to get my google search bar back on my own this morning since it changed to Yahoo on its own!!
Well done Ardy 😀
😘
Wish I could but the guy that Mark gets to come is rather dishy so that’s ok, lol !
That is great you got it back and did it on your own Ardy!
I was so surprised!!! It took John a couple days to figure it out when it happened before.
Good Afternoon, I have been watching the patterns made by the wind and sun on the canal its quite relaxing. I don’t always like where they stop but this one is just right for me, no people !!
I am the opposite. I like to see people walking by with their dogs.
Yes I do too sometimes !
Hi Beryl
I like your pic 😊
Thank you, it calms me !😔
Good Morning! Cloudy and 72 going up to 88 with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. I’m happy to report that yesterday our HVAC preventive maintenance went well for our 3 year old system. Trusting that means the furnace will operate properly through this winter. Craig plans to lay a path of concrete pavers from the front walkway to the hummingbird feeder to help me have steadier footing when I need to change out the nectar. Yesterday morning he placed an order for the pavers from Lowe’s and he picked up his order during the afternoon. First Craig will… Read more »
It looks like the pavers will be a great idea. Rick brought some stone blocks from Gary’s when he died and placed them in the back yard and i walk on them to fill the feeders.
I did that years ago for the same reason !
It helps and i can avoid the dewey grass too or wet sand
Nice!
Those look nice Ardy, he got them in deep so not tipping when you walk on them.😀
Hi Kathy,
How sweet Craig is going to put down pavers for you to be safer walking outside. 💜
Always a relief to have heating checked out before a winter looms ahead. I hope it will be a mild winter.
Hi Kathy, I hope Craig’s back holds out while laying your new path I’m sure its going to look fab when he has finished ! 😺
Thank you! I hope so too. I made Craig stop earlier than he wanted to yesterday.
Hi Kathy.
Pleased that your HVAC passed it’s inspection already for Winter now.😀😘
Thank you 😘
we’ve had round pavers for years..DH said you have to put sand under them and he just hasn’t gotten around to doing it..or doing a lot of things….
Good morning, Sunny and going up to 66 today. Sitting in the afternoon sun these last few days with lower temps has been so nice. Not too hot and not too cold in the sun.💛 We had the best day yesterday, stopped at Dunkins and had coffee and donuts then to Marden’s. We found so many good buys. We both needed new Fiskars sewing scissors and we found some for $3.99 regular $25.00 and I did buy 2 pairs. I got a warm pair of Eddie Bower boots for $17. and I know they were well over $50. and just… Read more »
Hi Jenn.
A real bargain there then,😘
😀
Yes and I love a bargain!😍
While I was sitting out at the table this cute Dragonfly came along and enjoyed warming in the sun.
Beautiful creatures.😮
Yes, the delicate wings are amazing.♥
Great picture
Lovely little surprise for you ! 👌
It was a joy to watch it. Later I was in my chaise with a book and another came or maybe the same one, and lit on the book a minute.
💝
Hi Jenn
I love your pic of the Dragonfly
😍
You found some really great deals yesterday. I’m glad Barb being with you and Denny 💗
Denny is our driver he calls Barb Miss Daisy from the movie ‘Driving Miss Daisy’ and in Florida when he took us all about we called Deena Miss Maisy. LOL Doesn’t take much to make us laugh.😃 He is a great driver and will take us and wait for us wherever we go. He shops some then comes back to the vehicle and has a coffee and listens to podcast stuff. The phones have Bluetooth connection from our phones.
Love it 😂
Hi Jenn
WOW!!! You did get some great bargains! Mom used to take Muriel and I to RL many times after church!!
Bargain shopping is fun for sure! What was RL ?
Red Lobster
Hi Jenn, you got some real bargains there saved loads ! I so miss all that kind of shopping ! 🤗
It is such fun shopping with really good bargains. Especially when you find just what you are looking for like Barb getting the material just perfect for her tablecloth. She made it as soon as she got home!

Morning
Rick picked up a prescription for me and got his flu and covid Vaccines while he was at Walgreens. So i went online and made an appointment at Fry’s for them. Rick had bought a Milan style pizza crust so he put ingredients on and we had that for supper.
We watched the Fever play and win. When i looked out i saw a few bats but when i went out i didnt see any to take pics of this morning.
Ricks stepsister, Jamie made this bag for my sister.
Hi Ardy,
Very pretty tote bag Jamie made. Did she make it on your mom’s Viking sewing machine I wonder? 😀
Sorry you did not see any bats this time.
I didnt ask her but i know she has used it. She got an industrial machine from someone that i fitted into a desk.
I saw a few flying by when i was inside.
Hi Ardy
What a beautiful bag Jamie made for you 💝
Thanks! I love it but this one is for my sister as a thank you for parting with mom’s Viking sewing machine.
I missed reading that part about who she made the bag for 😏
that’s ok. Jamie made me a purple one last Christmas.

Good Saturday morning. Beryl. Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy,Lynn, Pam. A cloudy day with the promise of some rain at times a high of 69F today and very windy. They promise rain in my area but it has yet to come true. There has been just enough to green up the green and it is now lost all of it’s scorched look. Up early again this morning, wheezing bit more lately will have to see about another inhaler this one not lasting the 24Hours it said it should. Paper in hand a trip up the bypass many leaves dropping fast now Autumn… Read more »
Hi ice, sorry about your breathing I hope you can get it sorted quickly nothing worse than breathing problems !
We are cloudy with rain but looking at the rest of the week it seems pretty good !
Now my Bay tree has gone I am hoping to see less leaves but the two massive Oaks across the road shed so many leaves all over the Close ! 😘
Hi Beryl.
Night time is worse even though I use a 24hour inhaler I end up wheezing in the middle of the night.
Will have to get on to the surgery to see someone about a different inhaler.🙄😘
Good morning Beryl
Hi Ardy. 👋
Hi Beryl,
Leaves have a way of finding us it seems. Oaks will have plenty of leaves to share.🙄
Happy you have a nice forecast after rain today. I am outside as much as possible these days to enjoy the beautiful end of summer sun and warmth.
Hi Ice
Sounds like you are in for some weather today.
I am sorry your inhaler isnt doing the job, hope you can get a stronger one.
Hi Andy.
Just might have a drop of rain soon .
I need something that last’s longer than the one I have.😀😘
Good morning Ice,
Such a cute kitty playing in the leaf pile.🥰
I am sorry you woke wheezing, I hope you can get another inhaler to help you.💙
Hope you do get some significant rain today.
Hi Jenn.
This inhaler is not lasting the night need something that would see me through the night.
My App just said rain in the hour now then has come out.lol.😘
Hi Ice
So sorry about the wheezing. I do hope you get an inhaler that works better for you soon 😘
Hi Kathy.
I think the trouble is that I find it difficult to take a real deep breath.
My inhaler is a powered based one and I have to take a deep breath and suck in the powder.
The original one was spray inhaler so I could spray it straight into my mouth with as deep a breath that i could muster.Seemed to work better that the powder one.😘
Hopefully your surgery can get you a spray inhaler again instead of the powder type 😘
Hi Kathy.
The powder inhaler is very difficult to use without a really deep breath Hope to get a spray inhaler again.😘
