Howdy-do Lovely Early Bird People 🐦 Charles has left the building; meaning Chuck is spending the weekend in Colo Spgs 😎 Everyone in the family is very glad he’s going; he really had to step away from here; he seemed to think if he went to Wal-mart every day, the pain of losing his big brother and best friend would ease; it did not. 😔 The family pumpkin-carving is scheduled for Friday night and Saturday are the coffin-races in Manitou Spgs. It’s supposed to rain all day, which will deter absolutely no one; there’ll be a gazillion people out there.… Read more »
😀😘
I hope Chuck finds some healing with family. I know you are hurting too so you might like this time to be alone♥
Poor Chuck my heart goes out to him but he will find his peace maybe not at Wal-mart, sorry I had to smile at that but not in a bad way just sad for him ! Well what ever happens Friday and Saturday is a mystery to me but I hope everyone has plenty of fun ! 👍
Hi Pam, that is good Chuck is going away for a bit. I hope you do well being alone in the house now.💕
My good morning doesnt have much to say since i told you my news yesterday.
We never got any bad weather altho Northern AZ did and even had a tornado. That word is not used in AZ.
It is cooler this morning, 61° I should walk and then give myself a pedicure.
Good Morning! Sunny and 45 going up to a delightful 71 😊 Yesterday I went to BJ’s which is a 25 minute drive one-way from our house so it takes a while for my BJ’s round-trip. I’m bummed that BJ’s no longer stocks Amy’s Burritos. Thankfully Harris Teeter does have them and they’re on special this week. I stocked up and got 12 of them to store in our chest freezer for future meals. For dinner we had our version of ‘Cincinnati Chili’ by topping spaghetti with Hormel Chili with Beans that we added some browned ground beef to. Then… Read more »
Hi Kath7.
Beautiful tree and a very colourful time of year.😘
🧡🍁🍂
Good morning Kathy,
Pretty leaves on your Maple tree.🧡
I am happy were able to find the burritos you like at a different place since BJ’s no longer carries them.
Your meal sounded very hearty and I like the melted cheese choices you used as toppers.😘
💗
Hi Kathy
Your weather sounds nice. Your tree is pretty too.
Sounds like Lauren will have a busy weekend with her class reunion.
Your supper sounded good. Too bad you didnt take a picture.😀
Yeah, I thought about that last evening after I finished eating mine.
Kathy, I meant to say safe travels for Lauren. 🙏
Thank you! Lauren arrived safely 🙏🏻
i know you’ll enjoy seeing Lauren wave as she heads out for reunion fun. 😘
That tree is so pretty all dressed up in Autumn finery.
psst: tell Craig that’s exactly how I like my chili too 😋
Good morning, 43 going up to mid-60’s sunny all day. Such a beautiful weather week we are having. Yesterday was nice out, perfect walking weather these days that are comfortable not hot or cold. We think we did a mile after supper and never left our village here, just down through the roads and into the medical building area along the woods. I got 3 pumpkins put together from the kit I bought to make crochet pumpkins. I thought these dresses were so cute, sis Barb’s granddaughter wanted a dress and she asked Barb to a make her cousin and… Read more »
Hi Jenn
That’s great about the walking y’all are able to do in your village 😀 I would like to start walking for exercise again.
Sweet looking dresses 😍
It is so encouraging here to walk. The roads are quiet with just the occasional resident going past slowly. We love walking together in the early evening and here we can walk year round with the plowing and sanding on the roads here.. Denny walked daily with Danny morning and evening at good pace. We had fallen behind this summer and we are going for evening walks after we eat supper every day now. We both feel so much better after walking.
Great news Jenn 😀
What cute dresses!!! Sounds like you had a nice walk.
Denny goes a little faster than I but I am now at about the same pace so he won’t have to slow down a bit. A month walking daily here has helped me pick up my pace.
Rick is always ahead of me walking anywhere…..It’s like we arent even together🙄
Wow; you’re having some seriously nice weather. 🌞
Those dresses are adorable 😘 How nice of them to make the port bags; i remember Lian had a couple of those; one in her car and one in her purse, in case she was riding with someone else; namely me. 😎
Good morning, not the wind and rain I expected but it did blow a bit. It all looks pretty calm around the Bay so the dreaded storm must have passed ! Got my meals in a box this morning bought by a lovely girl who wears a red wig more burgundy really, cake and desserts so I am ok for awhile. My milk went off yesterday and I yearned for a cup of tea but I had Galaxy frothy hot chocolate so made do with that but not quite the same, must remember to freeze some milk in case it… Read more »
Hi Beryl,
I see your name and picture so looks like it worked right!
Sounds like you did not get too bad weather with the storm, thankfully.💜
I feel for you not having milk, I never like that when it happens. I would not drink coffee without my cream and understand you not wanting your tea. A good idea to freeze some milk for sure.
Hi Beryl
I can see your name and avatar picture.
I’m glad you’re set for now with food. Sorry your milk went off. I hate it when that happens 😞
Hi Beryl
Surely your milk will not go off this weather in a fridge.😘
Milk isnt good when its expired and I hate to be without milk. Cant you order more?
Beryl, i hate when the milk goes off and freezing it is a good idea — i remember my grandmother doing that, she just couldn’t drink it fast enough.
Good morning!
I got a response from Modlily and after a detailed reply from me they still dont get it. It appears they think I need the black top i already got.
I dont know what they dont understand????
Ardy, find out where they ship the items from. Denny found out after checking that all their stuff ships from China but they post as ‘Bennet & Claire’ out of Boston. They said he would have to pay to ship the coat back to China ( knowing it would be more than the cost of the coat ).
I have no idea how to find out where they ship from. I am sure it is China.
I wont hear back until Monday now as they dont work on the weekends.
I wont pay to have the top shipped back as it was their mistake. I will keep it if I have to but it is not flattering on me.
Then they will owe me $7 which i doubt i will get.
Denny felt the same, he realized he would not win with them. The emails back and forth were frustrating because they change what you request like in your case. Hope they do not charge you for sending another top!
They said i had to confirm before they send it. I surely dont need another black top…..
They are such a pain they make you give in!!! I am sure that is what they want.
😪
So many of these online companies are from China but you cant tell that they are until you order from them and have to deal with them.
Good morning.
Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam.
Raining hard this morning and the wind speed is due to be gusting later today at 50 to 60MPH at times.
We are certainly getting the rain that was really needed and it will be raining into nest week now.
We have two storms at the moment “AUSTEN” and further North storm “BEOLA” cannot pronounce that.lol.
The temp is not too bad 56F at 7-00 this morning.
Will be a wet ride out for the paper this morning. After that batten down the hatches I think🙄.
Catch you all in a while.😀😘
Morning Ice
You are getting rain ! I hope you wont have flooding. How is the new inhaler working out?
Hi Ardy.
Plenty of rain and now the wind is really gusting.
Been very quiet all morning but making up for it now.
Inhaler much better than the last one not wheezing last night.😀😘
Oh those gusting winds!!!
Glad to hear the inhaler is doing its job.
Thank you Ardy.
That if very good news the new inhaler is helping you more.♥
Knowing I get to have two puffs per day helps.
The other inhaler was one puff every 24 hours and I just could not take a big enough puff. so the effect did not last the 24 yours.
That just makes more sense, happy you have this better one now.😘
Great news about no wheezing last night 🙏🏻😘
Ice, no wheezing at night is very good news indeed 🙏
😘
Hi ice, sorry you are getting the worst of the storm it did blow during the night and its wet but not the gale I expected.
This is our beach right now and its quite calm ! 😘
Hi Beryl.
It has been very quiet up to now and the wind is winding up now.
The Wisteria is getting a good bashing and leaves are cascading down now.☔
Beryl, are you one of the houses in the background?
No , I wish though !
Good morning Ice,
Goodness, you better get back quickly from fetching the paper, sounds like it is going to get wild!
I hope there is no bad damage from the storm.
Hi Jenn.
It was very quiet this morning just rain and a light wind but this afternoon it is now really gusting.
The Wisteria and a big tree in the road at the bottom of are garden are really getting buffeted now.
Hope that tree in the road never blows down because it would end up in our garden.😀😘
You got out at a good time, before it got too bad out. Now you can stay safe and dry inside.😊
Those high winds can really do a number on the leaves this time of year!
Hi Jenn.
It is the sweeping bit I do not look forward to.
Hope the wind blows some of the leaves next door.lol.
That would be great if the wind took care of you having to sweep. Fingers crossed!
Hi Ice
I hope you made it safely to/from getting your paper this morning 😘
It was quite quiet this morning Kathy but the wind is winding up this afternoon.😘
