This Night Owl Blog has given so much!
It is a fun place, we don't bash and we have fun being "tedious"!
We offer advice, give love, lots of free food and an open forum which can be about anything that is important, thought provoking or just plain silly.
And sometimes we just March (some to different drummers, but all together). :)
It is not about a single person, it is about all the people on any given day blended together.....Goldie!
NUMBER 1!!??!! Hey ya all............We all know scales lie right?! LOL!!
That's a BIG haaaail yes to ya all about my RAIDERS! I am loving it so much and last week was great. The whole day actually. My RAIDERS won, my #2 Seahawks won AND-----the 9ers lost!! Could not have been a better Sunday of football.
Barb I really feel for your RAIDERS ticket holders. I'm having fits not being able to go to a game but I know if I had season tickets I'd be a mess!
Dianne I can explain why your texts don't come through to me. You have my home phone number LOL! This happens alllll the time because that's the number I give people, I really don't like talking on the cell---ok honestly I don't like the cell period. For years I was attached to it for work and what ever. And I need to get a new one, been looking but just not excited about it. Mine is getting poopy and does/doesn't do what ever it wants. I have your number and it's your cell right? I will text you and then you'll have mine. I live vicariously through you because you have so much fun with friends going out to lunch and visiting. I rarely did much 'lunching' before the pandemic and haven't done any since. The one I miss the most is meeting up with my cousin for lunch. Miss him so much and we keep saying we just need to do it. Things here are opening back up a lot. Some places have had outside seating for a while but I'm such a hot flash beast I can't do it in the heat. 🙄
JL You are still in my thoughts and in my heart lady.💗 Question----I would really like to send you a Christmas card but you are my only friend here who's address I don't have. If you would share your address with me I would love it, BUT I would also understand if you would rather not. I told ya all that I got my cards ordered and I about fell over when the came the following week! That never happens right? So I been addressing envelopes but will wait a little while before writing in the cards.
Mary GO Spartans!?!? Man oh man college ball has been something this year. Is it because they maybe didn't get a lot of practice time, because it's embarrassing watching most of these games. Looks more like little league than college LOL! Thinking of you out strolling along at 10pm for potty and poop breaks. But hey it's important. Squeeze that baby for me ok. Good to hear Jim is doing good. Nothing wrong about walking with a cane, what ever helps.
SO----I love ya all to pieces and hope you enjoy your day with what ever makes you happy and smile. Gidget and I send smooches 💛😘🐶🧡
Hi seaside....all lonely one here. I’ll join you. The others always seem to busy on weekends...me not so much. We Broncos are finally playing the patriots tmrw am. Game has been put off twice because of covid. Im hanging out at home tmrw, which I don’t do,often but our other plans changed so thought I’d watch the game and do some cleaning up around here. You’re even ahead of me addressing your cards. I get mine early but then they sit until thanksgiving. Sounds like you had a good football weekend last week. Yes, I must have texted your home phone so call ,or text me so I’ll have a cell number for you please. Louis is walking with a cane sometimes now for balance issues
We were supposed to go to mtns for weekend but fires are so terrible and that the roads are closed and smoke is bad. I have enough breathing issues that it’s too dangerous plus there could be an Evacuation. I talked the cabin lady into letting us postpone Until mid nov. tonight the news so saying not to go to those areas. I think we made the right decision. Too scary. but now my week is messed up. .
We decided to not go,anywhere (to Tammy’s) for thanksgiving this year. Its too close of quarters with about 12 people. It’s too many people for me. It makes me really sad but I’m also really scared. Our city just made masks mandatory outside now too. Not restaurants but gatherings of only five people. Shut off booze at 10pm. Our numbers are going up. Our life is boring!
*****YAY BRONCO'S!***** They did good, loved watching them win.
Dianne No RAIDERS or Seahawks today. I am watching GB and rooting for them. Yesterday was one of the best college football days ever. Clemson is just a beast! 73-7....you just can't beat them. Then Norte Dame was an excellent game too. I been watching the Colorado fires on the news and hoping ya all are doing good. It really is scary, I hope your fires are out soon. Sorry to hear about your Thanksgiving plans. I really miss get togethers since this miserable pandemic started. Sad so many have passed and so many sick. I don't understand people that don't want to take this seriously.
I know I've said many times on Facebook that I LOVE music and really love it all. My heart is in Hard Rock--Rock--and Classic Rock. I'm just an old Hippie Surf chick at heart LOL But I recorded a Neil Diamond concert from almost two years ago. I've always loved him and saw him twice in concert. He is amazing live, not as powerful a voice the last few years but still really good. Seems most entertainers sing their most popular songs at the end. Well ya all, I sat here all by myself this morning and cried like a silly baby. The last three did me in. Holly Holy has always made me cry. Then Sweet Caroline the crowd goes nuts singing and it brought back so many memories. His ender is always Coming to America....just forget about it, I totally lost it. Lordy I was a mess by the time it was over. I'm an idiot but it was something 😊
Hi gals! It has been a busy two weeks here. I rented a large trash container and finally got rid of all the wet carpet and ruined furniture from our spring flood in our lower family room . It has been piling up in our lower garage and driving me crazy! Jim didn't seem to be making any plans on removing it so I took the "bull by the horns" and made the call. Matt helped cleaning out the attic where there were many old tv s computers, Amazon boxes etc. I cleaned out closets and took many things to a local Christian service center. I grabbed loads of coats, jackets, boots & shoes that have been cluttering the closets and placed on the living room couch and told Jim to pick what he couldn't live without lol. The rest got donated. It feels so good to be rid of stuff!. Today I have been out raking. We have 4 1/2 acres of leaves! The only area I rake is close to the house. We have a large red maple tree that drops tons of leaves!
Dianne, I am sorry you are feeling down about all the medical issues.We are finally slowing down on Dr appts. I had my girlfriend drive me to my Eye Spec. because I new he was going to dilate my eyes. It is a tricky drive home. If not paying attention I could miss a couple important exits and wind up in Detroit lol! I don't trust Jim to drive me. I had my hair done last Fri. I think we are now over a week different now. BTW, we have not had snow where we live. The upper part of Mich did get some and the "Upper, Upper part got hit pretty good. Ick!
JustLin.I have been buying Christmas stamps off and on for a few months, so I don't get hit too hard in Dec.! I have never been to Benihanna. I'm not sure we have them here. How are your eyes doing? I made brownies this week end and yes, they are def. comfort food!
Barb, I got a message back from Jim's Dr. She agrees with me that he had a bit of vertigo that night. She said to bring him in if he had anymore, which he hasn't. When she wrote "bring him in", all I could think of was our Vet lol!! I hug Zoie extra hard at night and think about your Ursala. {{hugs}}
Seaside! Always good hearing from you! Congrats on being # 1 on the blog :) This year I cannot seem to get into football, so I don't know much on how our Spartys are doing. I do know the Lions finally won this week. I have been keeping a close watch on our local high schools. It has been a hard year on them. They are now allowing parents and a few students into the games. My son is a school bus driver so he tends do be a bit nervous with all the kids. Some are now getting infections from wearing their masks so much and probably not washing them enough!. Such is life. Give Bridget hugs from me and Zoie xoxoxox
Seaside I finally remembered to watch our 49er game last Sunday and we won! Yay! It's always more fun to watch a game when your team is winning, right? It's a good thing they have canned crowd noise because it would be really weird to be watching it with silence in the stands.
I don't feel comfortable putting my address here on this venue but I give permission for you to get it from Dianne, Mary, or Barb. Perhaps you could let them give me your address in return? That would be great. Christmas is coming up sooner than we think. It always does.
Neil Diamond does put on a good show. His songs are timeless.
Dianne I'm sorry you had to delay your get-away plans but you were wise to do it. You never know how fire might travel due to winds and sparks and such so it's definitely better safe than sorry.
So what do you think you and Louis will do for Thanksgiving? I believe I will be here alone and that's okay with me. I've stayed home alone before and I am fine with it. I ordered a turkey dinner from Safeway before and it was fine and was definitely easy. I did miss having my own homemade gravy and homemade mashed potatoes. You can see what my priorities are. LOL This year I am thinking of roasting my own turkey again or maybe just a turkey breast as I am a "white meat person". When I still had the dog, I would mix the dark meat into her meals and she really enjoyed that.
Masks are mandatory outside here, too, but my neighbors and I don't bother if we are out doing something in our own yard. I do see neighbors wearing them if they walk their dogs around the neighborhood so I guess most of us kind of think of our own yards as "King's X" territory. My neighbors across the street with the two little kids do come over to my yard as I am on the sunny side of the street at this time of year. I don't expect them to wear masks in my yard and they don't. It definitely brightens my day to visit with them (from a distance, of course).
Mary Wow! You did a lot of cleaning out and cleaning up! Why can't I be more industrious like you? I was proud of myself for getting rid of the dog's bed and now I regret doing it as I could have just washed the cover and kept it handy for when my daughter comes with her dogs. She does have a dog bed here in her bedroom but it would have been good to have a second one. Maybe we'll get another one. Today is the first day that I haven't cried over my dog but the day isn't over yet.
My Benihana meal worked out great. My married friends, Kathy and Lee, and I sat at one end of the table and a single young guy sat at the opposite end. The food was fabulous as always. The chef cooks at the table and entertains with some tricks with the knife and utensils. I love their ginger salad dressing so I bought some of that to bring home, too.
My eyes are fine, just normal ageing issues. I was relieved to hear that. As for my cataracts, she said they are between mild and moderate. I'm okay with that. My glasses are old now and the anti-glare stuff is starting to come off and making them not as clear to see through as they should be. I should make an optometry appointment now to have my eyes tested to see if I need a new prescription and get new glasses. I might continue to put that off for a while since it isn't urgent.
Barb It's been a week since you were last in the nest. I may have to nudge you before Dianne does it. I will def be watching Bachelorette tonight with you. This season is extra juicy. LOL
Hi Mary. Ursula was JustLin’s dog. I just have the two cats and I am about ready to get rid of Mellie! Just kidding, but she is on my s%#t list because she has peed on my bed twice this week! I may put her back on the kitty prozak she was taking a year ago for the same problem. I’m hoping she just did it because I didn’t get her box cleaned out. I usually do it every day, but this week I got lazy, so maybe she’s just telling me! Anyway, I’ll wait to see if it happens again and I will also be sure to clean her litter box every day. I’m glad to hear Jim hasn’t had any more vertigo.
Seaside, I commend you for addressing your Christmas envelopes. It’s a big chore and getting it done early is a good thing. I always do the envelopes first too, then write the cards. My two friends and I have not even started our cards yet. We usually have them all made by now, but we aren’t sure we’ll even make any. I’m really not motivated!
JL, Tonight’s Bachelorette should be interesting. I wonder when Tayshia is going to take over? This is just the craziest season ever. And so it DWTS. I really dislike Tyra more every week! Chad took my ballot to a drop box at the grocery store last week and I got a text today that is has been received and will be counted. I really like that they are doing that. Also, I like that the drop box was inside the store, since I heard about the box in SoCal that someone set fire to an envelope and put it in the box. Some ballots were burned. I just don’t understand how anyone could be so evil!
Dianne, We have decided to just have Thanksgiving alone at home, too. Chad will cook a turkey and I’ll do the other stuff and he’ll take some to Marie. Probably do the same for Christmas, only he’ll cook prime rib. Shopping will be mostly gift cards. Todd and Vicki usually have an Amazon wish list, so I’ll check that. Dean’s birthday is Dec. 14, and we have gotten him his fishing license every year since he was 15. It used to be only part of his gift because the license was under $20. It has gone up in the 40 years since he was 15 and now it’s close to $70, with the extra stamp permits for certain fish, so that’s his gift.
SacBarb, I can't believe I keep mixing you two up! Sorry! I need to take better notes!
Jim went to the Casino yesterday. I tore into the living room. I totally rearranged it. I put Jim's lazy-boy in the opposite side of the room closer to the tv as his hearing is getting worse! He seems to like it better. I am almost done putting things away outside, for the winter incl. my plants, ornaments,furniture etc. I did a bit of raking, but pooped out about 4. Had to save energy for my weekly Taco Tues dinner. Today I have to pick up a few gross-eries, & "walk-in" my ballot. Later......
Mary, we had tacos on Tuesday too, but Chad picked them up from our favorite taco place. They are $2 each on Tuesdays. It’s a local family owned place and we really like them. We get them 1-2 times a month. Last week Chad got two packages of peanut butter cookie mix and a bag of Hershey’s kisses because I wanted to make the cookies. So yesterday I asked him to get the cookie sheet pans down from the top shelf so I could make the cookies. He said “we don’t have all the ingredients.” I said all I need is two eggs and water and he repeated what he said and had a sheepish look on his face. So, the kisses were mysteriously gone! Anyway, I told him to get two bags of kisses next time he goes to the store! 😹😹😹.
Dianne, Have you been out and about? I like hearing about your adventures driving to different places and meeting up with friends. Sharon and I were planning to have lunch next week, but she is concerned about the spike in the virus so we postponed it. Chad is happy because he really didn’t want me to go to a restaurant. So, we’ll just talk on the phone for a while longer.
JL, You have such nice neighbors that bring you food. When my husband died we got so much food from the neighbors, we hardly had room for it all. It was really nice. But most of those neighbors are gone now, either moved or died. Now I only know a few people and only the nice guy next door well. The rest I just know enough to wave “hi” to. Chad talks to the creepy people on the other side occasionally just to keep on a friendly basis with them. Don’t want to piss them off! The people who own the house across the street that was put up for sale are having a hard time getting the “tenants” out. Their son was living there and he died, but he had a few friends living there, too. None of them paid rent and they are all druggies and they won’t leave. The parents were hoping that putting it up for sale would get them out, but they are claiming squatters rights. I don’t know anything about squatters rights, so I don’t understand why law enforcement can’t just get them out. Apparently it’s a huge problem.
SacBarb.I got a big chuckle about the missing kisses! We really don't have "authentic" Mex. restaurants near us. I don't think Taco Bell counts lol! There is one small place about 15 miles away. I will have to try it out again. I wasn't too impressed years ago when it opened. I did some more raking today. By the looks of the tree, there will be many more leaves falling! It's amazing how many it holds! It gets dark here about 7:00 so I have to take Zoie on her walks right after supper. It will be darker earlier next month when the clocks turn back. Boo Hoo! Two of Jim's son's live in Montana. In two days they have gotten 13.8" of snow! Ugh! I am not looking forward to that!!! Jim's oldest brother is in the hospital. They are having trouble getting his BP down, with his congested heart. They were getting ready to head to Florida for the winter. He went in for a gall bladder operation when his problems were discovered. They obviously couldn't have the surgery. Now they are talking about putting him in a nursing home. Things sure do change in a blink of an eye! I think he is about 83.
Hi....barb, yes I’m still out and about. My friend and her husband from high school met us half way for lunch at the Red Lobster. I hadn’t been there for a long time. It was actually pretty good. They are packing up to go to their place in Palm Springs for the winter. We will miss them. That’s funny about the kisses being gone. Good thing you didn’t get bags of Halloween candy too.
Mary, we are expecting 10” of snow and 7 degrees on Monday. I don’t love it at all but our fires really need it. I just saw tonight a place we gone to for years burned down today. It’s just so sad. My friends in Estes park are still Evacuated too. I’ll probably end up home canceling plans the next two days and that doesn’t thrill me at all. Our bronco game will be cold tmrw.
It’s been a sad worrisome week here. First of all,, my brother signed himself into hospice. He has congestive heart failure and fluids are building up. He finally agreed to take a water pill. He gained 20 pounds last month in fluids. He’s never been able to see his new first grand baby except on face time because of covid. He’s been in the nursing home four years now sitting in a recliner 24/7. Louis went in for a follow up chest X-ray and dr called to schedule him for an echocardiogram as she’s concerned about pulmonary hypertension. I’m scared plus he will probably need knee replacement down the road. I had to go to the dr and have a bladder infection plus my breathing is getting much worse. It just all came to a head on me the other night and I kind of lost it. Poor Louis trying to console me. It just seems like things are in such a mess with covid, fires, health, politics. I’m having trouble seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Soooo. That’s where I’ve been lately just worrying and I’m pretty good at that!
Today is Tammy’s 52nd bday. She had a little party at a restaurant/bar they go too with her work friends. We weren’t invited. I was invited to a lunch with a couple of her friends next Saturday. I had to Change my hair appt from then to yesterday. It wasn’t really quite time for it but she was booked the next two weeks.
Hi to JL and seaside. Stay warm. We will try. I may even think about making chili tmrw....maybe.
Dianne, I am so sorry you are feeling down :( I will say an extra prayer for you and Louis. I worry about your breathing. I see it in Jim every day. He uses "Advair", but still struggles. He still smokes :( Our hair appts are all messed up lol! My next one is Nove.20.
Barb, will you be staying home for your Birthday? I will plan a big party at our old bloggers Mansion. How fun did that used to be :)
Dianne, I’m so sorry your breathing is getting worse and to top it off with a bladder infection is just another worry. I really hate that all these things are happening to us as we age. I guess it a good news, bad news thing! Good news we’re still here, bad news we have all these ailments! I’m glad you have Louis there to console you when you get down. I pray for all my Owls and their families. I hope Louis’ echocardiogram doesn’t show anything serious. Happy Birthday to Tammy. Is she still having trouble with her leg healing? Today was NOT a good football day for either of us! That’s all I have to say about that!
Mary, you work so hard. I wish you could slow down or at least get some help. I know you’re not looking forward to the cold weather, but at least you don’t have to worry about losing power! I bet that’s a load off your mind. I will be spending my birthday at home with Chad. Our Governor has closed the restaurants again, but because I’m in a high risk group, Chad worries about my going places where there are even a small crowd of people. I did get out twice last week and it was really nice to get dressed and put makeup on. I had to go to the bank and another day I had to get my updated Trust notarized. We even took the car through a car wash because the birds nesting in my carport pooped all over my car. I spoke harshly to them, too, because I leave food out for them and they have free shelter and it’s just rude to poop on my car!
JL, I made Chad go to the store and get more Hershey’s kisses and I made the cookies today. I wanted to get them made right away, before the kisses had a chance to “disappear,” again! LOL. Chad took Arch to a job interview on Thursday and he got the job. He’s going to do shipping and receiving, which is what he did for Bartell’s Drugs in Seattle. I forgot the name of the company, but he’s happy to have a job. So far, he’s just a temp for the Christmas season with a possibility of becoming permanent.
Dianne I think of you every time I watch the news and they are showing your fires. This sure has been a bad bad year for fires. It is sad when you see places you used to go to all the time and now they're gone. I hope it gets better for you. I'm sorry to hear about your brother. I'm sure that it was a difficult decision for him, I will keep him in my prayers. So sorry to hear both you and dear Louis are having medical issues. You have so much going on right now, I wish I was there to help some how. Even more frustrating is the fact that even if I was I couldn't even give you a hug!! But lots of long distance hugs and much love to ya all!
Barb LMAO at missing kisses. Is that a pandemic thing?? LOL Glad you finally got your cookies done though. I'm still wondering if our fires will ever be completely gone. Seems like it gets better and then gets worse again. Thankfully it's not like it was a while back when we couldn't even see across the street and everything was covered in ash. There's been so much lose, I feel so bad for so many people. Yes our RAIDERS really blew it! I love them anyway all the time and hope for better next game. My #2 SEAhawks blew it at the end, so hard to watch.
Mary Thinking of you and snow......Does ZOIE like the snow? I know some babies love to play in it and some don't even want to walk out in it. I bet it puts a damper on long walks. My Gidget doesn't love the rain like I do. If I pick her up, open the door and it's raining she shoves her face in my neck. It cracks me up because if we go out there and I say oh look at all the water, when we come back in she shakes and rolls as if she was drenched! Not one drop got on her LOL!! So silly babies.
JL It's so cool you went to Benihana's. I've never been there but I've seen commercials and even movies where they do all that cooking in front of you and throwing things around. I bet it's a lot of fun in person. Hope you're doing better....thinking of you.
I've got some sewing to do today. That's something I don't do well but can manage when I have to or think what I'm doing is a good thing 😏 First though I think Gidget and I will go for a long walk and see what excitement we can find. Hope ya all know I'm thinking of you and send lots of love 😎🐶🍅🌺💛
Barb I didn't know you had troublesome neighbors across the street, just the ones next door. I'm really lucky to have all good neighbors now. Funny thing is that one other household and I used to be the youngest ones on the street and now we are among the oldest. There is one couple farther down that may be older than us but I'm not sure.
Time does keep marching on and there have been some new, younger families moving in. I especially enjoy the young family across the street. They have built bed frames, retaining walls, and currently building a bigger back deck. It's kind of funny because it's always Rainbow who is the major builder; wearing heavy duty face mask and using the circular saw while her husband, Jason, is her helper. She's very handy. Apparently, when she was a teen, she and her siblings (all children, not adults) put a new roof on their house. This is because her father told them they had to do it before he got back from a gig his band was playing and it was the month of August. I forget what city they lived in but it was inland and hot. Rainbow has not talked to her father in many years and her children don't even know that that grandfather even exists. I think that's all I need to know about him.
Mary You know that no Mexican restaurant is going to serve food as good as your own. I had some delicious carne asada tacos the other day from my local Mexican restaurant. I usually get shrimp fajitas from them but I was really craving tacos. They were delicious!
I have to LOL at how you get so much done when Jim gets out of the house. You are like the Energizer Bunny! You are always working so hard that you probably don't get the sore muscles I would get if I shoved all the furniture around. Fortunately, my house isn't that large so I wouldn't be shoving anything too far. The other day I got carried away and kind of hurt my left shoulder/arm again. It's gotten so close to being healed that I kind of forget that I still have to be careful about how I use it.
I am so glad you have that generator! I bet you are, too.
Dianne I'm sorry you are feeling down. You do have a lot going on. Is your infection clearing up okay? The fires are so sad as well as stressful. Is smoke from the fires causing your breathing to be worse? I hope your friends will have a home to go back to and that they will be able to go soon.
I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. He and I got on each other's nerves but I never wished this on him. I assume you can't even visit because of COVID and that is really, really sad for both of you. So many families going through similar situations. It's heartbreaking.
I hope Louis's hypertension can be controlled with medication. Put his knee surgery on the back burner. You'll have plenty of time to worry about that later. You have enough on your plate now.
I have a haircut appointment on Friday and I will probably start having my nails done again in the not too distant future. So far, I am liking my gray hair okay and am especially happy with having it being cut again. My long, droopy hair was really getting on my nerves.
Hey JL......I haven't received a text from you. Hopefully Barb gave you my CELL # not home phone and she probably did. It starts 925-222 and maybe you need to put a one first??? Not sure but haven't gotten anything. Maybe try again....I'll watch for ya 😊
Dianne, I can't believe your brother has been in a nursing that long! Before my youngest brother, Tony, passed, he had been in one for almost 5 yrs! I used to visit him and his windows were always closed and he would just lay there, day after day! We decided to get him headphones so he could watch his favorite shows on TCM. He said they were a life saver! He had to keep the volume down because of his roommate. I will put him in my prayers. BTW, you can keep your snow and cold temps! I have finally acclimated to our 40*s. Jim thinks I'm crazy because I still go outside in just my t-shirt. He is a Finn, and can't handle the cold. He is already wearing his long underwear!
Seaside. I don't have your texting number. I do have your address :). Zoie loves the snow! The rain doesn't bother her either. We have been out in all sorts of bad weather including hail,ice,snow storms etc. She will be 10 Feb. Right now she is nagging (barking) at me in the bedroom wanting me to go to bed lol!!
Barb,Shame on your bird poopers! I think the same thing when I find droppings on my patio! Like, really? After I fed you? LOL! I can't remember the last time I put on my full make-up. I just do my eyes. I have saved a lot of money on make-up! I have thought of hiring someone to wash all my cupboards. I have been having pain in my hips lately. I suppose all this cold damp weather has something to do with it.
JL, My house is pretty small too. There aren't too many ways I can configure my living room. I do get more done when he is not in his chair! I rarely sit during the day except when on my PC. I usually use my iPad or phone to check my FB or email. I do my banking on my PC. OK, Zoie has lost all patience with me lol. Off to bed I go! I won't even proof read :)
Hi JL.......Well it was only a guess as I never add the one to cell numbers. But I still didn't get it. hmmmmmmmm I wonder why. I'm just going to stick it on here cause I figure this blog probably isn't any more dangerous than other places you need to put your phone number. So it is 925-222-7738. Now sweet Mary has it too 😊
Mary Gidget will be 9 in February too. She's my very own special Valentine. SO cute your Zoie doesn't mind any kind of weather. I can just see her now frolicking in the snow Lol SO dang cute!
Well ya all I'm in the middle of doing my hair because my blond streaks were just plain done LOL So it's time to un-foil and hit the shower----again.
Hello all my wonderful Owls. I want to thank Dianne, Mary, and JL for the nice birthday cards. I really appreciate you sending them. We aren’t really celebrating, but Chad is cooking porterhouse steaks and baked potatoes. And for dessert, Lemon meringue pie! He had the steaks cut to 2” so he can get a really good sear on the outside and they won’t get overdone. I’ll probably be eating off the same steak for 2-3 days because it’s huge! I hope you all are having a good day.
Happy (belated) Birthday to you 🎵 ........ Happy (belated) Birthday🎵 to you........ 🎵 Happy (belated) Birthday my DEAR FRIEND..... Happy (belated Birthday to you 🎵 !!!!!! 😘😻🐶🍰🌺
Your gift is the fact you didn't have to hear me singing it 🤗 Without facebook I never know birthdays anymore. BUT----I have them all written down somewhere?? As soon as my brain kicks in I'll remember where I put it.
Happy weekend ya all....have a happy safe weekend and Halloween 🧡💛💜💙
NUMBER 1!!??!!
ReplyDeleteHey ya all............We all know scales lie right?! LOL!!
That's a BIG haaaail yes to ya all about my RAIDERS! I am loving it so much and last week was great. The whole day actually. My RAIDERS won, my #2 Seahawks won AND-----the 9ers lost!! Could not have been a better Sunday of football.
Barb I really feel for your RAIDERS ticket holders. I'm having fits not being able to go to a game but I know if I had season tickets I'd be a mess!
Dianne I can explain why your texts don't come through to me. You have my home phone number LOL! This happens alllll the time because that's the number I give people, I really don't like talking on the cell---ok honestly I don't like the cell period. For years I was attached to it for work and what ever. And I need to get a new one, been looking but just not excited about it. Mine is getting poopy and does/doesn't do what ever it wants. I have your number and it's your cell right? I will text you and then you'll have mine. I live vicariously through you because you have so much fun with friends going out to lunch and visiting. I rarely did much 'lunching' before the pandemic and haven't done any since. The one I miss the most is meeting up with my cousin for lunch. Miss him so much and we keep saying we just need to do it. Things here are opening back up a lot. Some places have had outside seating for a while but I'm such a hot flash beast I can't do it in the heat. 🙄
JL You are still in my thoughts and in my heart lady.💗 Question----I would really like to send you a Christmas card but you are my only friend here who's address I don't have. If you would share your address with me I would love it, BUT I would also understand if you would rather not. I told ya all that I got my cards ordered and I about fell over when the came the following week! That never happens right? So I been addressing envelopes but will
wait a little while before writing in the cards.
Mary GO Spartans!?!? Man oh man college ball has been something this year. Is it because they maybe didn't get a lot of practice time, because it's embarrassing watching most of
these games. Looks more like little league than college LOL! Thinking of you out strolling along at 10pm for potty and poop breaks. But hey it's important. Squeeze that baby for me ok. Good to hear Jim is doing good. Nothing wrong about walking with a cane, what ever helps.
SO----I love ya all to pieces and hope you enjoy your day with what ever makes you happy and smile. Gidget and I send smooches 💛😘🐶🧡
Hi seaside....all lonely one here. I’ll join you. The others always seem to busy on weekends...me not so much. We Broncos are finally playing the patriots tmrw am. Game has been put off twice because of covid. Im hanging out at home tmrw, which I don’t do,often but our other plans changed so thought I’d watch the game and do some cleaning up around here. You’re even ahead of me addressing your cards. I get mine early but then they sit until thanksgiving. Sounds like you had a good football weekend last week. Yes, I must have texted your home phone so call ,or text me so I’ll have a cell number for you please. Louis is walking with a cane sometimes now for balance issues
ReplyDeleteWe were supposed to go to mtns for weekend but fires are so terrible and that the roads are closed and smoke is bad. I have enough breathing issues that it’s too dangerous plus there could be an Evacuation. I talked the cabin lady into letting us postpone Until mid nov. tonight the news so saying not to go to those areas. I think we made the right decision. Too scary. but now my week is messed up. .
We decided to not go,anywhere (to Tammy’s) for thanksgiving this year. Its too close of quarters with about 12 people. It’s too many people for me. It makes me really sad but I’m also really scared. Our city just made masks mandatory outside now too. Not restaurants but gatherings of only five people. Shut off booze at 10pm. Our numbers are going up. Our life is boring!
*****YAY BRONCO'S!***** They did good, loved watching them win.
ReplyDeleteDianne No RAIDERS or Seahawks today. I am watching GB and rooting for them. Yesterday was one of the best college football days ever. Clemson is just a beast! 73-7....you just can't beat them. Then Norte Dame was an excellent game too.
I been watching the Colorado fires on the news and hoping ya all are doing good. It really is scary, I hope your fires are out soon. Sorry to hear about your Thanksgiving plans. I really miss get togethers since this miserable pandemic started. Sad so many have passed and so many sick. I don't understand people that don't want to take this seriously.
I know I've said many times on Facebook that I LOVE music and really love it all. My heart is in Hard Rock--Rock--and Classic Rock. I'm just an old Hippie Surf chick at heart LOL But I recorded a Neil Diamond concert from almost two years ago. I've always loved him and saw him twice in concert. He is amazing live, not as powerful a voice the last few years but still really good. Seems most entertainers sing their most popular songs at the end. Well ya all, I sat here all by myself this morning and cried like a silly baby. The last three did me in. Holly Holy has always made me cry. Then Sweet Caroline the crowd goes nuts singing and it brought back so many memories. His ender is always Coming to America....just forget about it, I totally lost it. Lordy I was a mess by the time it was over. I'm an idiot but it was something 😊
Sending love and hugs to ya all....😎🐶🧡
Hi gals! It has been a busy two weeks here. I rented a large trash container and finally got rid of all the wet carpet and ruined furniture from our spring flood in our lower family room . It has been piling up in our lower garage and driving me crazy! Jim didn't seem to be making any plans on removing it so I took the "bull by the horns" and made the call. Matt helped cleaning out the attic where there were many old tv s computers, Amazon boxes etc. I cleaned out closets and took many things to a local Christian service center. I grabbed loads of coats, jackets, boots & shoes that have been cluttering the closets and placed on the living room couch and told Jim to pick what he couldn't live without lol. The rest got donated. It feels so good to be rid of stuff!.
ReplyDeleteToday I have been out raking. We have 4 1/2 acres of leaves! The only area I rake is close to the house. We have a large red maple tree that drops tons of leaves!
Dianne, I am sorry you are feeling down about all the medical issues.We are finally slowing down on Dr appts. I had my girlfriend drive me to my Eye Spec. because I new he was going to dilate my eyes. It is a tricky drive home. If not paying attention I could miss a couple important exits and wind up in Detroit lol! I don't trust Jim to drive me.
I had my hair done last Fri. I think we are now over a week different now.
BTW, we have not had snow where we live. The upper part of Mich did get some and the "Upper, Upper part got hit pretty good. Ick!
JustLin.I have been buying Christmas stamps off and on for a few months, so I don't get hit too hard in Dec.!
I have never been to Benihanna. I'm not sure we have them here.
How are your eyes doing?
I made brownies this week end and yes, they are def. comfort food!
Barb, I got a message back from Jim's Dr. She agrees with me that he had a bit of vertigo that night. She said to bring him in if he had anymore, which he hasn't. When she wrote "bring him in", all I could think of was our Vet lol!!
I hug Zoie extra hard at night and think about your Ursala. {{hugs}}
Seaside! Always good hearing from you! Congrats on being # 1 on the blog :)
This year I cannot seem to get into football, so I don't know much on how our Spartys are doing. I do know the Lions finally won this week. I have been keeping a close watch on our local high schools. It has been a hard year on them. They are now allowing parents and a few students into the games. My son is a school bus driver so he tends do be a bit nervous with all the kids. Some are now getting infections from wearing their masks so much and probably not washing them enough!.
Such is life. Give Bridget hugs from me and Zoie xoxoxox
Seaside I finally remembered to watch our 49er game last Sunday and we won! Yay! It's always more fun to watch a game when your team is winning, right? It's a good thing they have canned crowd noise because it would be really weird to be watching it with silence in the stands.
ReplyDeleteI don't feel comfortable putting my address here on this venue but I give permission for you to get it from Dianne, Mary, or Barb. Perhaps you could let them give me your address in return? That would be great. Christmas is coming up sooner than we think. It always does.
Neil Diamond does put on a good show. His songs are timeless.
Dianne I'm sorry you had to delay your get-away plans but you were wise to do it. You never know how fire might travel due to winds and sparks and such so it's definitely better safe than sorry.
ReplyDeleteSo what do you think you and Louis will do for Thanksgiving? I believe I will be here alone and that's okay with me. I've stayed home alone before and I am fine with it. I ordered a turkey dinner from Safeway before and it was fine and was definitely easy. I did miss having my own homemade gravy and homemade mashed potatoes. You can see what my priorities are. LOL This year I am thinking of roasting my own turkey again or maybe just a turkey breast as I am a "white meat person". When I still had the dog, I would mix the dark meat into her meals and she really enjoyed that.
Masks are mandatory outside here, too, but my neighbors and I don't bother if we are out doing something in our own yard. I do see neighbors wearing them if they walk their dogs around the neighborhood so I guess most of us kind of think of our own yards as "King's X" territory. My neighbors across the street with the two little kids do come over to my yard as I am on the sunny side of the street at this time of year. I don't expect them to wear masks in my yard and they don't. It definitely brightens my day to visit with them (from a distance, of course).
Mary Wow! You did a lot of cleaning out and cleaning up! Why can't I be more industrious like you? I was proud of myself for getting rid of the dog's bed and now I regret doing it as I could have just washed the cover and kept it handy for when my daughter comes with her dogs. She does have a dog bed here in her bedroom but it would have been good to have a second one. Maybe we'll get another one. Today is the first day that I haven't cried over my dog but the day isn't over yet.
ReplyDeleteMy Benihana meal worked out great. My married friends, Kathy and Lee, and I sat at one end of the table and a single young guy sat at the opposite end. The food was fabulous as always. The chef cooks at the table and entertains with some tricks with the knife and utensils. I love their ginger salad dressing so I bought some of that to bring home, too.
My eyes are fine, just normal ageing issues. I was relieved to hear that. As for my cataracts, she said they are between mild and moderate. I'm okay with that. My glasses are old now and the anti-glare stuff is starting to come off and making them not as clear to see through as they should be. I should make an optometry appointment now to have my eyes tested to see if I need a new prescription and get new glasses. I might continue to put that off for a while since it isn't urgent.
Barb It's been a week since you were last in the nest. I may have to nudge you before Dianne does it. I will def be watching Bachelorette tonight with you. This season is extra juicy. LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Mary. Ursula was JustLin’s dog. I just have the two cats and I am about ready to get rid of Mellie! Just kidding, but she is on my s%#t list because she has peed on my bed twice this week! I may put her back on the kitty prozak she was taking a year ago for the same problem. I’m hoping she just did it because I didn’t get her box cleaned out. I usually do it every day, but this week I got lazy, so maybe she’s just telling me! Anyway, I’ll wait to see if it happens again and I will also be sure to clean her litter box every day. I’m glad to hear Jim hasn’t had any more vertigo.
ReplyDeleteSeaside, I commend you for addressing your Christmas envelopes. It’s a big chore and getting it done early is a good thing. I always do the envelopes first too, then write the cards. My two friends and I have not even started our cards yet. We usually have them all made by now, but we aren’t sure we’ll even make any. I’m really not motivated!
JL, Tonight’s Bachelorette should be interesting. I wonder when Tayshia is going to take over? This is just the craziest season ever. And so it DWTS. I really dislike Tyra more every week!
Chad took my ballot to a drop box at the grocery store last week and I got a text today that is has been received and will be counted. I really like that they are doing that. Also, I like that the drop box was inside the store, since I heard about the box in SoCal that someone set fire to an envelope and put it in the box. Some ballots were burned. I just don’t understand how anyone could be so evil!
Dianne, We have decided to just have Thanksgiving alone at home, too. Chad will cook a turkey and I’ll do the other stuff and he’ll take some to Marie. Probably do the same for Christmas, only he’ll cook prime rib. Shopping will be mostly gift cards. Todd and Vicki usually have an Amazon wish list, so I’ll check that. Dean’s birthday is Dec. 14, and we have gotten him his fishing license every year since he was 15. It used to be only part of his gift because the license was under $20. It has gone up in the 40 years since he was 15 and now it’s close to $70, with the extra stamp permits for certain fish, so that’s his gift.
SacBarb, I can't believe I keep mixing you two up! Sorry! I need to take better notes!
ReplyDeleteJim went to the Casino yesterday. I tore into the living room. I totally rearranged it. I put Jim's lazy-boy in the opposite side of the room closer to the tv as his hearing is getting worse! He seems to like it better. I am almost done putting things away outside, for the winter incl. my plants, ornaments,furniture etc. I did a bit of raking, but pooped out about 4. Had to save energy for my weekly Taco Tues dinner.
Today I have to pick up a few gross-eries, & "walk-in" my ballot.
Later......
Mary, we had tacos on Tuesday too, but Chad picked them up from our favorite taco place. They are $2 each on Tuesdays. It’s a local family owned place and we really like them. We get them 1-2 times a month. Last week Chad got two packages of peanut butter cookie mix and a bag of Hershey’s kisses because I wanted to make the cookies. So yesterday I asked him to get the cookie sheet pans down from the top shelf so I could make the cookies. He said “we don’t have all the ingredients.” I said all I need is two eggs and water and he repeated what he said and had a sheepish look on his face. So, the kisses were mysteriously gone! Anyway, I told him to get two bags of kisses next time he goes to the store! 😹😹😹.
ReplyDeleteDianne, Have you been out and about? I like hearing about your adventures driving to different places and meeting up with friends. Sharon and I were planning to have lunch next week, but she is concerned about the spike in the virus so we postponed it. Chad is happy because he really didn’t want me to go to a restaurant. So, we’ll just talk on the phone for a while longer.
JL, You have such nice neighbors that bring you food. When my husband died we got so much food from the neighbors, we hardly had room for it all. It was really nice. But most of those neighbors are gone now, either moved or died. Now I only know a few people and only the nice guy next door well. The rest I just know enough to wave “hi” to. Chad talks to the creepy people on the other side occasionally just to keep on a friendly basis with them. Don’t want to piss them off! The people who own the house across the street that was put up for sale are having a hard time getting the “tenants” out. Their son was living there and he died, but he had a few friends living there, too. None of them paid rent and they are all druggies and they won’t leave. The parents were hoping that putting it up for sale would get them out, but they are claiming squatters rights. I don’t know anything about squatters rights, so I don’t understand why law enforcement can’t just get them out. Apparently it’s a huge problem.
SacBarb.I got a big chuckle about the missing kisses!
ReplyDeleteWe really don't have "authentic" Mex. restaurants near us. I don't think Taco Bell counts lol! There is one small place about 15 miles away. I will have to try it out again. I wasn't too impressed years ago when it opened.
I did some more raking today. By the looks of the tree, there will be many more leaves falling! It's amazing how many it holds!
It gets dark here about 7:00 so I have to take Zoie on her walks right after supper. It will be darker earlier next month when the clocks turn back. Boo Hoo!
Two of Jim's son's live in Montana. In two days they have gotten 13.8" of snow! Ugh! I am not looking forward to that!!!
Jim's oldest brother is in the hospital. They are having trouble getting his BP down, with his congested heart. They were getting ready to head to Florida for the winter. He went in for a gall bladder operation when his problems were discovered. They obviously couldn't have the surgery. Now they are talking about putting him in a nursing home. Things sure do change in a blink of an eye! I think he is about 83.
Hi....barb, yes I’m still out and about. My friend and her husband from high school met us half way for lunch at the Red Lobster. I hadn’t been there for a long time. It was actually pretty good. They are packing up to go to their place in Palm Springs for the winter. We will miss them. That’s funny about the kisses being gone. Good thing you didn’t get bags of Halloween candy too.
ReplyDeleteMary, we are expecting 10” of snow and 7 degrees on Monday. I don’t love it at all but our fires really need it. I just saw tonight a place we gone to for years burned down today. It’s just so sad. My friends in Estes park are still Evacuated too. I’ll probably end up home canceling plans the next two days and that doesn’t thrill me at all. Our bronco game will be cold tmrw.
It’s been a sad worrisome week here. First of all,, my brother signed himself into hospice. He has congestive heart failure and fluids are building up. He finally agreed to take a water pill. He gained 20 pounds last month in fluids. He’s never been able to see his new first grand baby except on face time because of covid. He’s been in the nursing home four years now sitting in a recliner 24/7. Louis went in for a follow up chest X-ray and dr called to schedule him for an echocardiogram as she’s concerned about pulmonary hypertension. I’m scared plus he will probably need knee replacement down the road. I had to go to the dr and have a bladder infection plus my breathing is getting much worse. It just all came to a head on me the other night and I kind of lost it. Poor Louis trying to console me. It just seems like things are in such a mess with covid, fires, health, politics. I’m having trouble seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Soooo. That’s where I’ve been lately just worrying and I’m pretty good at that!
Today is Tammy’s 52nd bday. She had a little party at a restaurant/bar they go too with her work friends. We weren’t invited. I was invited to a lunch with a couple of her friends next Saturday. I had to Change my hair appt from then to yesterday. It wasn’t really quite time for it but she was booked the next two weeks.
Hi to JL and seaside. Stay warm. We will try. I may even think about making chili tmrw....maybe.
Dianne, I am so sorry you are feeling down :( I will say an extra prayer for you and Louis. I worry about your breathing. I see it in Jim every day. He uses "Advair", but still struggles. He still smokes :(
ReplyDeleteOur hair appts are all messed up lol! My next one is Nove.20.
Barb, will you be staying home for your Birthday? I will plan a big party at our old bloggers Mansion. How fun did that used to be :)
Dianne, I’m so sorry your breathing is getting worse and to top it off with a bladder infection is just another worry. I really hate that all these things are happening to us as we age. I guess it a good news, bad news thing! Good news we’re still here, bad news we have all these ailments! I’m glad you have Louis there to console you when you get down. I pray for all my Owls and their families. I hope Louis’ echocardiogram doesn’t show anything serious. Happy Birthday to Tammy. Is she still having trouble with her leg healing? Today was NOT a good football day for either of us! That’s all I have to say about that!
ReplyDeleteMary, you work so hard. I wish you could slow down or at least get some help. I know you’re not looking forward to the cold weather, but at least you don’t have to worry about losing power! I bet that’s a load off your mind. I will be spending my birthday at home with Chad. Our Governor has closed the restaurants again, but because I’m in a high risk group, Chad worries about my going places where there are even a small crowd of people. I did get out twice last week and it was really nice to get dressed and put makeup on. I had to go to the bank and another day I had to get my updated Trust notarized. We even took the car through a car wash because the birds nesting in my carport pooped all over my car. I spoke harshly to them, too, because I leave food out for them and they have free shelter and it’s just rude to poop on my car!
JL, I made Chad go to the store and get more Hershey’s kisses and I made the cookies today. I wanted to get them made right away, before the kisses had a chance to “disappear,” again! LOL. Chad took Arch to a job interview on Thursday and he got the job. He’s going to do shipping and receiving, which is what he did for Bartell’s Drugs in Seattle. I forgot the name of the company, but he’s happy to have a job. So far, he’s just a temp for the Christmas season with a possibility of becoming permanent.
Waving to Seaside and Gidget. 👋👋👋
Hi all......
ReplyDeleteDianne I think of you every time I watch the news and they are showing your fires. This sure has been a bad bad year for fires. It is sad when you see places you used to go to all the time and now they're gone. I hope it gets better for you. I'm sorry to hear about your brother. I'm sure that it was a difficult decision for him, I will keep him in my prayers. So sorry to hear both you and dear Louis are having medical issues. You have so much going on right now, I wish I was there to help some how. Even more frustrating is the fact that even if I was I couldn't even give you a hug!! But lots of long distance hugs and much love to ya all!
Barb LMAO at missing kisses. Is that a pandemic thing?? LOL Glad you finally got your cookies done though. I'm still wondering if our fires will ever be completely gone. Seems like it gets better and then gets worse again. Thankfully it's not like it was a while back when we couldn't even see across the street and everything was covered in ash. There's been so much lose, I feel so bad for so many people. Yes our RAIDERS really blew it! I love them anyway all the time and hope for better next game. My #2 SEAhawks blew it at the end, so hard to watch.
Mary Thinking of you and snow......Does ZOIE like the snow? I know some babies love to play in it and some don't even want to walk out in it. I bet it puts a damper on long walks. My Gidget doesn't love the rain like I do. If I pick her up, open the door and it's raining she shoves her face in my neck. It cracks me up because if we go out there and I say oh look at all the water, when we come back in she shakes and rolls as if she was drenched! Not one drop got on her LOL!! So silly babies.
JL It's so cool you went to Benihana's. I've never been there but I've seen commercials and even movies where they do all that cooking in front of you and throwing things around. I bet it's a lot of fun in person. Hope you're doing better....thinking of you.
I've got some sewing to do today. That's something I don't do well but can manage when I have to or think what I'm doing is a good thing 😏
First though I think Gidget and I will go for a long walk and see what excitement we can find.
Hope ya all know I'm thinking of you and send lots of love 😎🐶🍅🌺💛
Barb I didn't know you had troublesome neighbors across the street, just the ones next door. I'm really lucky to have all good neighbors now. Funny thing is that one other household and I used to be the youngest ones on the street and now we are among the oldest. There is one couple farther down that may be older than us but I'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteTime does keep marching on and there have been some new, younger families moving in. I especially enjoy the young family across the street. They have built bed frames, retaining walls, and currently building a bigger back deck. It's kind of funny because it's always Rainbow who is the major builder; wearing heavy duty face mask and using the circular saw while her husband, Jason, is her helper. She's very handy. Apparently, when she was a teen, she and her siblings (all children, not adults) put a new roof on their house. This is because her father told them they had to do it before he got back from a gig his band was playing and it was the month of August. I forget what city they lived in but it was inland and hot. Rainbow has not talked to her father in many years and her children don't even know that that grandfather even exists. I think that's all I need to know about him.
Mary You know that no Mexican restaurant is going to serve food as good as your own. I had some delicious carne asada tacos the other day from my local Mexican restaurant. I usually get shrimp fajitas from them but I was really craving tacos. They were delicious!
ReplyDeleteI have to LOL at how you get so much done when Jim gets out of the house. You are like the Energizer Bunny! You are always working so hard that you probably don't get the sore muscles I would get if I shoved all the furniture around. Fortunately, my house isn't that large so I wouldn't be shoving anything too far. The other day I got carried away and kind of hurt my left shoulder/arm again. It's gotten so close to being healed that I kind of forget that I still have to be careful about how I use it.
I am so glad you have that generator! I bet you are, too.
Dianne I'm sorry you are feeling down. You do have a lot going on. Is your infection clearing up okay? The fires are so sad as well as stressful. Is smoke from the fires causing your breathing to be worse? I hope your friends will have a home to go back to and that they will be able to go soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your brother. He and I got on each other's nerves but I never wished this on him. I assume you can't even visit because of COVID and that is really, really sad for both of you. So many families going through similar situations. It's heartbreaking.
I hope Louis's hypertension can be controlled with medication. Put his knee surgery on the back burner. You'll have plenty of time to worry about that later. You have enough on your plate now.
I have a haircut appointment on Friday and I will probably start having my nails done again in the not too distant future. So far, I am liking my gray hair okay and am especially happy with having it being cut again. My long, droopy hair was really getting on my nerves.
Seaside Thanks for giving me your contact information. I texted mine to you. I assume you received it.
ReplyDeleteI am a 49er fan and I finally remembered to watch their game last Sunday and they won! Yay!
The high winds didn't really materialize here so I am lucky that my power did not get shut off. How about you?
ReplyDeleteHey JL......I haven't received a text from you. Hopefully Barb gave you my CELL # not home phone and she probably did. It starts 925-222 and maybe you need to put a one first??? Not sure but haven't gotten anything. Maybe try again....I'll watch for ya 😊
Dianne, I can't believe your brother has been in a nursing that long! Before my youngest brother, Tony, passed, he had been in one for almost 5 yrs! I used to visit him and his windows were always closed and he would just lay there, day after day! We decided to get him headphones so he could watch his favorite shows on TCM. He said they were a life saver! He had to keep the volume down because of his roommate.
ReplyDeleteI will put him in my prayers.
BTW, you can keep your snow and cold temps! I have finally acclimated to our 40*s. Jim thinks I'm crazy because I still go outside in just my t-shirt. He is a Finn, and can't handle the cold. He is already wearing his long underwear!
Seaside. I don't have your texting number. I do have your address :).
Zoie loves the snow! The rain doesn't bother her either. We have been out in all sorts of bad weather including hail,ice,snow storms etc. She will be 10 Feb.
Right now she is nagging (barking) at me in the bedroom wanting me to go to bed lol!!
Barb,Shame on your bird poopers! I think the same thing when I find droppings on my patio! Like, really? After I fed you? LOL!
I can't remember the last time I put on my full make-up. I just do my eyes. I have saved a lot of money on make-up!
I have thought of hiring someone to wash all my cupboards. I have been having pain in my hips lately. I suppose all this cold damp weather has something to do with it.
JL, My house is pretty small too. There aren't too many ways I can configure my living room. I do get more done when he is not in his chair! I rarely sit during the day except when on my PC. I usually use my iPad or phone to check my FB or email. I do my banking on my PC.
OK, Zoie has lost all patience with me lol. Off to bed I go! I won't even proof read :)
Seaside I added the 1 and resent the text. Hopefully, you'll get it this time.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteHi JL.......Well it was only a guess as I never add the one to cell numbers. But I still
didn't get it. hmmmmmmmm I wonder why.
I'm just going to stick it on here cause I figure this blog probably isn't any more dangerous than other places you need to put your phone number. So it is 925-222-7738. Now sweet Mary has it too 😊
Mary Gidget will be 9 in February too. She's my very own special Valentine. SO cute your Zoie doesn't mind any kind of weather. I can just see her now frolicking in the snow Lol SO dang cute!
Well ya all I'm in the middle of doing my hair because my blond streaks were just plain done LOL So it's time to un-foil and hit the shower----again.
Smooches to ya all 😘🐶
Hello all my wonderful Owls. I want to thank Dianne, Mary, and JL for the nice birthday cards. I really appreciate you sending them. We aren’t really celebrating, but Chad is cooking porterhouse steaks and baked potatoes. And for dessert, Lemon meringue pie! He had the steaks cut to 2” so he can get a really good sear on the outside and they won’t get overdone. I’ll probably be eating off the same steak for 2-3 days because it’s huge! I hope you all are having a good day.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY Barb!!!
ReplyDeleteYour dinner sounds heavenly!!! Meringue pie is one of my favorites!!
Sending huge {{{virtual hugs}}}
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BARB!
