Good morning, I managed to get the whole neighborhood looking when I set off the smoke alarm and thankful Denny was here but he could not get it to stop. This smoke alarm is different than what we usually have and after a bit he got it stopped. That is the longest 3 or 4 maybe 5 minutes 😱 I had heated up a cast iron frying pan to braise a roast in it to sear the juices in it before putting it in the crock pot. It started smoking too much and the alarm went off. My eyes were… Read more »
Hi Jenn………..good you already knew your neighbors or for sure you would of met them yesterday. Glad to hear your roast turned out.
Those ducks sure are cute!!
Your right Ardy, we sure would have met them if we had not met before…LOL
😆
Hi Jenn
Well, since the process of prepping the best-ever tasting roast set off the alarm I guess you’ll be setting it off again the next time you prepare one 😆
Love your Duck pics ❤️
Yes, probably I will Kathy.😂
Hi Jenn, I know it seems to go on forever and I can never remember how to stop it and just run around like a mad thing, lol ! PANIC !!!!!
It really is a terrifying noise and I also freak out when I hear it!!
Good morning, just realised its Friday the 13th I’m always wary which is stupid but I just wish my son wasn’t having a scan today but its needed. He had a stroke so the scan will show what needs doing so that’s good it will show any damage from all the awful cancer treatment he had years ago and he has no spleen lost years ago playing football nearly died but survived to fight another day ! His hand went numb and it had happened before so he went to hospital only to find out it was a stroke and… Read more »
Hi Beryl.
I do hope there will be a positive outcome for your son.🙏😘
You me both ice its hard not being able to be there for him ! 👌
I am so sorry about your son Beryl, I pray he does not have bad news today.🙏 We never stop worrying over our children. 💗
This is your oldest son I am thinking.
That is good he went to the hospital in time.
Hi Jenn, yes its Mark and it went well today they had some laughs at the hospital which all helps !
Surgery Friday for putting in stents and I am scared for him as he has so much scared tissue from his cancer but they talked it over and I tell you I am going to be in bits on Friday because its somewhat dodgy. Goodness I want to be there with him its so hard not to be as a mother you need to be there for your child even though he’s 64 ! 😟
💕
Age doesn’t matter when it comes to our children Beryl. I would be as concerned as you if it were one of mine.
I will keep him in prayer for his upcoming surgery next Friday.🙏
Prayers for your son 🙏🙏
Thanks so much Ardy. 🙏
I pray all goes well when he has the stents put in 💖
Hi Beryl
Prayers for your dear son 🙏🏻 ❤️
Good Morning
Beryl. Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam.
A taste of Winter this morning 28F and the bird baths are frozen solid.
The Green outside my window is white with frost and glistening in the morning sun.
Will get to 40F with a light wind.
The old girl coughed a bit on start up this morning will have to make sure the battery is fully charged in this cold snap.
From Sunday through next week will be rain and high wind but no frosts.
A cloudless sky today with full sunshine.
Catch you all soon.😀😘
Goodness ice you are up early I have just got my tea its 9:25 !
I’m not going out until it warms up a bit and maybe not even then !
Keep warm ! 😘
Hi Beryl.
Sun is streaming through the window in the room where I sit at my computer and it is warming up the room now.
CH boiler still running though.😘
Good morning Ice,
A bit chilly for you this morning, you really feel it when it gets to low 30’s-20’s.🥶
Good idea to keep the battery charged now.
Hi Jenn.
Had a bit of fun with your smoke alarm I see but a very useful instrument to have.
Pleased that your roast turned out to be so good.😋😘
Those alarms are great to have for sure. I used a low frying pan usually I braise the roast in a cast iron pot but I didn’t feel like getting it out. I had a fine mess of splatter from the oil in the pan on my stove but got it all cleaned off.
Good morning Ice
28 is a very chilly morning. I hope it warms up later.
Hi Ardy.
The green has thawed out in the sun but we will behaving a sharp frost again tonight,🙄😘

He said thank you very much Ardy.

Very nice pics!! Like Ardy said, I thank them for their service.
Denny said thank you Kathy.♥

Good Morning! Sunny and 52 going up to 69. This morning I have a haircut appointment. Then I need to get my curbside pickup order from PetSmart. I also have an item that I need to return to The Container Store. But first I need to feed Matcha and Chai and then eat my breakfast. For dinner last evening I browned some ground sirloin and added it to a can of Hormel Chili with Beans I had warmed up on the stove. We topped spaghetti with the warmed up chili followed by our choices of cheese. Here’s a pic of… Read more »
Here it is with the cheese all melty 😋 I ate half of mine and will eat the rest for dinner tonight.
Good morning Kathy, that looks pretty good. Sounds like you’ll have a busy morning. Don’t you hate it when you have to return something? I know I do
Yes I do hate it when I need to return something.
Hi Kathy.
Good luck with the hair curt.I hope you will be pleased with the outcome.
A very tasty looking meal there.😋😘
Thank you 😘
Hi Kathy,
Your meal looks very good.😘
Your temperatures are cooler now too, jacket weather.
I’m enjoying the cooler temps that feel refreshing for now 😊
Good morning,
Another nice day, 42 going up to 50.
Yesterday was really beautiful, it turned very warm and was sunny. I was outside walking and sitting a bit. Amazing weather we are continuing to have into November. Rain is predicted for tomorrow, at first they said snow.
I started a knitted scarf and worked on pet beds.
Good morning! Well it sounds like you’re getting ready for winter and getting scarves and such, but I bet you hate to see snow coming so soon. Luckily it’s just good to be
I am still trying to make a couple or three more knitted Christmas gifts and I really enjoy knitting and am enjoying more crochet projects too. I have challenged myself to try difficult patterns ( for me ) and that is fun. I read that studies have shown knitting helps the cognitive function so that is a plus for me.😀 Cognitive Reserve and Memory: A widely cited Mayo Clinic Study published in the Journal of Neuropsychiatry & Clinical Neurosciences found that older adults (ages 70 to 89) who engaged in crafts like knitting had a 30% to 50% lower risk… Read more »
That is great you are doing this……..it doesnt look good for me and memory loss…..😪
Hi Jenn
Your weather sounds delightful 😊🧡
Good Morning! Our friends that live in Oregon – used to live here years ago are here in town for three weeks this time. Jacqueline had major hip surgery and needed special equipment to help her get in and out of bed and the shower so she ordered from Amazon and had it sent to us so Stephen came by yesterday to pick it up and they were too tired when they arrived Tuesday night.. While we were outside a truck drove by and they were taking pictures of Gary’s house and then they parked and got out. He was… Read more »
The guy that used to live across from us that stopped by owns an Island in Alaska and Airbnb

Very beautiful pictures of Alaska! I went to Alaska once, it is beautiful.
I wish we traveled
Hi Ardy, How nice your good friends are there for vacation and you will be meeting with them for a dinner today.💕 I wonder what the guy who used to live in Gary’s old house think of how it looks now? Without Rick mowing it would probably have grass up to the windows! Did you or Rick speak to the boy? How many years has Rick lived in that house? I think maybe she your doctor wanted you to try without the stomach medication. She most likely will renew it for you if you tell her you tried and the… Read more »
Do you mean the man that stopped by yesterday? Yes he stopped. He was with a lady and they got out and came over and talked to us. He was one of the five sons and the girl he was with is soon to be his wife. It’s quite the story. Actually. Her kids were at his Airbnb in Alaska and they came up with this idea that he should meet their mother without her knowing and look what happened. Now they’re going to get married. Yes they were a very nice couple. I was glad they stopped. I did… Read more »
That is nice you got to talk to the guy and meet his soon to be wife. That is a sweet story.♥
Hi Ardy
I’m so sorry you experienced such terrible heartburn. I can understand why you chose to start taking Omeprazole again.
After last night i will start taking it this morning……I will let her assistant know and she can tell her…..she didnt even tell me to take Tums, just stay away from spicy foods and i am getting HB with reguare foods…like my salad yesterday with chicken
Sorry it has bothered you so much. Denny was told in the past to stop a medication to see how it did and he tried then told the doctor he needed it and that was that.
I hope the same for me because I just took it.😃
OMGoodness that even regular non-spicy foods gave you heartburn 😞
Yes but it was milder….yesterday I had the salad for lunch and Rick made tacos/ NOT spicy at all and no salsa with refried beans and my HB was awful.
😪
