Good Morning! Heavy thunderstorm and 68 going up to 73. The rain should end before noon. 
Around midnight I was awakened by a heavy thunderstorm that brought us over 1″ in our rain gauge. We need every drop so we’re very happy for the rain.

Yesterday I looked out the back door at just the right time. This Carolina Wren was on top of some fencing in our breezeway that Craig uses to make cages around newly planted items to protect them from Deer.

Good Morning
I colored my hair yesterday morning and then met my friend, Joyce, for early lunch at Ole. I am having a little trouble with acid reflux since my new care worker took me off my prescription meds. She said to stay away from spicy foods but kind of hard when it seems we/i mostly go out to eat Mexican food. Although I dont order spicy the salsa usually has some zip.
It was close to 80° yesterday and was sunny and dry!

Hi Ardy,
That is nice you met with a friend for lunch.
80 degrees sounds very nice to me. Happy you had dry weather.😀

Hi Ardy
How fun going out to lunch with a friend. Sorry about the acid reflux issues since your NP took you off of Omeprazole.
Your weather yesterday sounds perfect 😊

Good morning, We have rain predicted through Sunday morning, but off and on with some steady rain overnight. We sure need this. I went for a couple long walks yesterday, it was so warm I did not need my jacket or hoodie. I can smell the fallen leaves on the ground, the nice Autumn smell. We met new neighbors who live across the road from us and they have a yellow dog they walk often. They are very nice she invited us to go boating with them next summer where they keep a rental boat they take 4 hour excursions… Read more »

Hi Jenn
The chat was fixed mid morning yesterday. Too bad the dog you met isnt friendly.
What a beautiful dog bed. I know they will l♥ve them.
What are your Thanksgiving plans?

Jenn
November 6, 2026 5:48 am

Thanks Ardy, I enjoy working with the polar fleece it is so soft and I am putting a double layer of batting inside since it is so much thinner than it used to be. I bought the ‘ultra thick’ batting which is a joke really it is not thick like it used to be. We are invited to Gabe and Leakana’s for Thanksgiving and I am very happy about that. I am taking a ham and she is doing turkey and I am bringing a couple desserts and Denny will bring his famous mashed potatoes. 😘 They have the bigger… Read more »

Probably just Rick and I now. My sister/husband stopped coming over years ago and they stay home too, doesnt make any sense to me especially since I know John loves Ricks cooking but she prefers cornish hens…My sister is funny and i dont mean in the haha way. The only time i see her is when she comes over for her haircut.

So sad that she chooses to stay home especially since you are her only sibling. That is just the way with some families. My sister Jackie has pretty much stopped all communication with us her 4 sisters. Not even sure why but she does take care of her 5 grandsons a lot and that has become her world. Her choice but hard to understand.

I dont understand my sister either. She said we should stop exchanging Christmas gifts now which is fine with me but it wont seem like Christmas. She is still coming over to eat with us.

Sounds like she likes to control things. Doesn’t her husband come for Christmas?

Hi Jenn
Great news on the much needed rain in your area.
Very nice offer from your neighbors you met yesterday. I wouldn’t be able to sit that long on a boat either.
Very pretty pet beds that you made 💝

Good morning.
Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam
A cold and dull morning with a few showers around later today.
A high of 53F today just 46f at 8-00.Same type of weather pattern until next week when we might get some real rain again.
Many parts of the country still have drought conditions.
Hope this post gets through ok today looks like the problem with the site has been resolved.
Paper in hand and we still have a trip to the surgery to pick up our prescriptions.
Catch you all in a while.😀😘

Howdy-do Lovely Early Bird People 🐦 Woke to a nice sunny morning after last night’s rain; it was raining ’til at least 3a. Should get to 60 by end of day. My oldest friend from elementary school just got back from a PBS trip to the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA; they were hosting an interactive murder mystery dinner show. Their table guessed it all correctly; naturally they did; she’s one of THOSE people 😄 I say that like I’m not 🙄 I’ve participated in several of those mystery-dinners over the years; they’re so much fun. Have a good/safe… Read more »
