Good late morning…doing laundry now, and we’re going to pick up a picture that DH had framed…the people used to own our favorite gift shop, had two dogs, and we miss them lots. It’s sunny and 40s today, nicer so maybe a dog walk or two.
Good Morning! Plenty of sunshine expected today. It’s 26 now going up to 50. Craig went back to work today following his two-week Christmas break plus an additional week of vacation. Today I hope to go grocery shopping at Food Lion. I need more bananas and a few other things. I have more donations (mainly clothes) to drop off at Matthews Help Center this week. Craig found quite a few nice pullover sweaters in our cedar chest that were Christmas gifts through the years from his family. None of them are his preferred style or colors. I found a few… Read more »
Craig sure had a nice break from work with you.
Yes he did and I enjoyed having him home for that long. Craig enjoyed it as well and wasn’t looking forward to his 5:30 AM weekday alarm. Most mornings during his extended break Craig slept in until after 8:30 AM.
It is hard to get in the swing of it again after time off.
Good morning, We had a wild windy day yesterday, the trees were really swaying! The temps dropped during the day and it is only 32 degrees. I made a tablecloth using up the bird print fabric I have. I am trying to use material I have stashed. I like to have a change of colors of tablecloths or table runners, place mats. I have the eye appointment this morning to have that test they did not do. It is a machine that takes pictures of your eye that the doctor said is stronger than the one they took. I already… Read more »
Ask them why. I have always had all done at the same time
Same here!!
Hi Jenn
My eye doctor includes that exact test during a single appointment. I am baffled why yours has you make a separate appointment for it.
Yep me too
Good morning I went to church yesterday and then to Walmart. They are not going to carry the economy bird seed any longer, dont know why. I never bought 40lb. bags before but i bought two at $15 a piece where as the 20 lb. bags are $12. I asked the man to put them in my cart but I had to lift them out of my cart and in the trunk of my car….bot they were heavy. Then Rick took them out of my trunk and he had trouble with them and wondered how I lifted them in. I… Read more »
Pretty Butterfly.🧡
That was a much better deal to get the 40 lb. bag but too bad they stopped carrying the value brand. Those must have been heavy lifting them out of the cart. Thankful you did not injure your back.
Hi Ardy.
You certainly have enough bird food for a whole flock of birds.lol.
It will last a while as they only get so much once a day
Have to shop smart and save money🤑
😃
Hi Ardy
Beautiful Butterfly 😍
That’s too bad they stopped carrying the economy bird seed.
They have another brand now I saw and the price looked about the same but it showed corn and sunflower seeds in it and our birds dont eat that.
Good Monday morning. Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam. A wild and wet day yesterday but calming down today with some sunshine and maybe a shower or two this afternoon. Temp above average for the time of year at 52F. Got to charge the old dears battery up today, the cold weather has run it down a bit so it needs a boost for any further cold weather. But this coming week is a mixture of sunshine and showers, no named storm on the horizon. Time for that welcome coffee and bread sticks now. Hope you all had a peaceful… Read more »
Morning Ice
Hope you got the old dears charged up for another run.
Hi Ardy.
Still charging after three hours so it was really needed.
I use it once a day to just drive down the road to the garage to pick the paper up.
Then back up the bypass so a total miles of about 2 miles so not getting a proper charge from the engine.🙄😘
Unfortunately I dont drive but once a week….when we go out its in my old KIA which Rick drives
Good morning Ice,🌞\
Sounds like a beautiful day for you, enjoy the sunshine. 🌞
Also sounds like a quiet nice week ahead for you with no storms.
Hi Jenn.
Just having a passing shower now.lol.
But the week looks to be very mild.
Good luck with your eye appointment.
I take it that the eye photo they take now is the one that can see behind your retina.
We have it taken now when we have an eye appointment as part of the eye examination.👓😘
Hi Ice
Did you enjoy your coffee and bread sticks? (Silly question I know 😄) 😘
Hi Kathy.
Not a silly question at all.
I look forward to this every morning when I first start up my computer it sets me up for the day.lol.😘
😋😘
Ice, what a joy to have your birdies return 😘
Kathy, YIKES, that hole in the oven element looks scary 😟 glad Craig was able to replace it with a minimum of fuss 😎
Jenn, getting used to a new place, country/language, must be so overwhelming to Lynn; she’ll settle down in a few months; kinda like retirement after a gazillion years of working; it takes time. Denny’s such a good guy, wonderful that Joe has him to talk to re: PTSD, nasty stuff.
Prayers for Deena’s PET scan to be clear 🙏
Hi Pam.
Yes na welcome return love to see a lot of them for a change cold weather brings them in I think.😘
Thank you Pam. Praying for Deena’s scan to be okay but she can’t even have it until she is recouped from the Bronchitis which has affected her breathing very much.
Yes, good analogy of the comparison of Lynn coming from another country and someone being retired, it does take time.
Our cedar chest became a cat trap for Matcha this morning while we were sorting through clothing items stored in there.
Matcha looks so incredibly soft.🥰
Matcha IS incredibly soft 😺
“Thanks for the nice new box, Mom”
