I "liked" your post Kirby because it sounds like you have a caring doctor which I pray she truly is! I can sure relate to the rain--all day here.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Early good morning, all!

 

[Snowysmom]

@Kirby Grandkids do bring home alot of stuff. I hope your ear feels better soon.

@AuntieMe3 So sorry about your friend's Dad. I am sure she will understand.

@TazDev I hope your ankle heals soon. So sorry you have a fracture in addition to the sprain.

@bobbiwoz Lovely flowers.

Good morning. It should be another nice day here with temps around 50. 2 of Jeff's kids are not feeling well. Charlotte has double ear infections and is on meds. Sam had a tough night Monday so he went to the doctor yesterday. No ear issues or anything else. He does have the 2 canine teeth trying to get through so is probably miserable from that. Everyone else seems to be OK. I will check in today to see.

My days have been mostly on my own with my walks and work and doing things around the condo. Some days are really hard to get through. I am hoping once I am out of this condo and area that maybe I will feel a bit better. I am not sure if that will be the case. I seem to be going through a tough time right now and can cry very easily. I listen to the birds while I am walking and try to be aware of them around me. I have always enjoyed seeing and hearing birds.

Off to work which has been hard to get through too. I have to really focus on what I am doing.

Have a good day.

@Snowysmom, I love how you describe your walks and that you listen to the birds. I love wild bird songs and chatter too.

We are headed to PHL for our flights, first to Phoenix then Santa Barbara. Beverly has been my friend since kindergarten, and her daughter, Erin is getting married on Saturday. Beverly sent me this picture of Erin at a gown fitting. I look forward to seeing this beautiful young woman again.

Good morning, calling for 65 today, but with a chance of showers. The grass is growing, and it won't be long before I have to start yardwork. Seems like we just finished doing it.

@dazedx3 -Prayers for a quickly healing ankle.

@Snowysmom -- 's

@bobbiwoz --Have a fun, safe trip. That's a beautiful wedding dress. Hope they have a fantastic wedding day!

@Kirby--Hope your ear issue clears up quickly.


Summer texted me late last night. She has to go to Morgantown again this afternoon. Her Doctor wasn't happy with the urine results from the tests she had done yesterday and wants to do an ultrasound and take x-rays. It's just one thing after the other.

I am off to the market soon, and then home to work on the bathroom. Save should be here early with the vanity. Then it will be another run to Lowe's. If I knew exactly what he needed I would get it while out this morning but he's picky, lol

Have a great Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday.

A little late posting today. I've actually been busy yesterday and today.

Meeting up with Evan and Mia tonight for a birthday dinner, he turns 29 today . His soccer game is too late for me so we'll just go to dinner and I'll give him his gift. I got him a gift card to the German Beer Haus across the river in Kentucky. It's a fun place .

Still nursing my sore back. I'm going to really regret cleaning the litter boxes tomorrow night but it has to be done. I might set each one on the dryer and clean them out, that way I won't have to bend down so much. At least the big garbage cans have wheels so I can just push them to the curb. The bad thing about tomorrow night is that it's supposed to rain all day tomorrow and Friday. I hate putting garbage out in the rain.

Meal prepped 1/2 of a taco salad the other day so I put the rest together last night for dinner. It was pretty good. I still have enough for 2 more meals.

That's it for today, have a great day!

Good Morning from a very LA,

Sandro our Sparkletts man thankfully came while it was still dry. Dad, I feel badly for, is currently out doing a couple of quick errands followed by some speedy, few item only shopping at Ralph's. I wish he would have stayed home. Sometimes, as all of you know, people can be awfully set in their ways. extra that all goes easily and smoothly for him and that he doesn't get wet. I did enjoy a lovely night's and truly pray that all of you did, too. Cozy beds in stormy weather are extra blessings indeed!

PollyannaMom to you and your's. May all of you and your DH, and son, too, of course, have a cozy and good Wednesday. I am PM-ing you.

Snowysmom, I also love how you describe your daily morningand am very grateful to God you are able to go on them each day. I pray you find peace through them and renewed faith, too. I do believe (and certainly pray which I hope you already know) that once you have moved out of the condo, you will absolutely feel a ton more settled and lighter of spirit, too. for Baby Sam and Charlotte, too to feel better!

for safe travelsBobbiwoz and a blessed wedding experience for all. God Bless truly Erin and her husband to be. Thank you for sharing a lovely picture with us of Erin. She looks so very happy

Lynn and please try to keep in the mind your bathroom remodel really is nearing the finish line, even though (I understand) it may not always feel that way! extra for Summer, I feel so badly for all she continues to go through. How blessed truly she is to have you and Don in her life to begin with and to know she has your caring support right nowprayers that your trip is a quick and easy one.

Footballmouse, to Evan! back prayers to you indeed, my friend.

Wishing all of you a bright Wednesday in some way

God afternoon thread save!

Dad thank God is safely home and didn't get too wet. It was sure pouring earlier! The rain has stopped for the moment right now. To AuntieMe3, Kirby, and I believe Footballmouse, too, who may also shop at Ralph's or Kroger in your area as it may be called, Land O Lakes (which we get the unsalted sticks of) is $3.99 this week with a digital coupon which is here a $5 savings! This is baking weather it sounds like for a lot of our Quacker family, I want to pass this along. Another Ralph's saving to those of you who like peanut butter, neither dad nor I do but he got a couple jars to donate to church Food Pantry, with a digital coupon, Kroger peanut butter is 99 Cents.

All otherwise is quiet around here. each of you are having a good day. Extra love and prayers to Dazed, Frog, Kirby, Taz, and AuntieMe3.

Vanity is in, and I love it. Bathroom should be finished by Friday! It's so beautiful outside, 70 degrees. Walmart wasn't very busy, but there were a lot of empty shelves again. Even in the frozen food dept. Wonder if they are having supply issues. We noticed that gas was down to $3.29 this morning.

Have a nice rest of the afternoon.

 

[footballmouse]

Flyingdumbo - thanks for the heads up on the butter.

lynxstch - love the vanity!

 

[flyingdumbo127]

I also love the vanity, Lynn!

You're so welcome, Footballmouse. I hope you are able to use that deal

 

[Snowysmom]

Lovely vanity Lynn.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Thread save for the evening. Sweet to all with love, always.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Had a nice afternoon with the kids - beautiful weather, so we were able to stay at the playground for a good while.

Then after homework (hardly any today - yeah!) she and I made a salsa recipe she got from a story they read in school.

He tires out a little before her at the playground, so I brought Othello and taught him to play. - He's already beating me.

 

[Kirby]

Beverly sent me this picture of Erin at a gown fitting.

Beautiful dress on a beautiful girl!

Another Ralph's saving to those of you who like peanut butter, neither dad nor I do but he got a couple jars to donate to church Food Pantry, with a digital coupon, Kroger peanut butter is 99 Cents.

We eat PB but didn't need any so took advantage of the coupon for our food pantry at church. I bought an 18 count egg for $3.69 and with a .65 coupon, it came out to be $3.04! And then, both of the Crest toothpastes that I bought were on sale for $3.99 each. I had three e-coupons totaling $3.00 together and a paper coupon for a free Crest toothpaste totaling $3.99 so I technically got two toothpastes for 99 cents. I didn't plan it, just worked out that way.

Wonder if they are having supply issues

I've heard that there have been some food supply issues. There was a blurb on my FB feed that a number of Raising Canes were closed temporarily due to supply issues.

Lynn, your bathroom cabinet looks so nice! The tile you have on the walls looks a lot like what I have in my master bath shower but in grey tones.

The sun came out today and the temps went up into the upper 70's. Will probably hit in the 80's tomorrow with a chance of storms Thursday night.

 

[AuntieMe3]

Love the vanity Lynn.

 

[Snowysmom]

Quick good morning. I am going into the office early so I can have an early lunch with my friend.

Have a good day.

 

[footballmouse]

Happy Thursday.

Got the dogs & cats fed after work and then I headed out to run some errands before meeting up with Evan and Mia. Had to drop a return off at the UPS store, got gas and then went to Meijer. I wanted to use their printers to print out some pictures of Mia but when I walked in, the photo department was dismantled . WTH! Guess I'll have to go to Walgreens. Just seems every time I stopped at Walgreens their machines were broke . I did grab a little tub of fresh cookies for Evan to take to soccer. Since the game was so late & I wasn't going, I wanted him to have birthday treats to pass out. Definitely got a laugh out of him.

Got home and my Amazon deliveries were there. I'm thinking the 0-3 months outfits that I bought Mia for Easter are going to be too big. I'll have Bailey try them on her and if I need to order a smaller size I'll just do that. They came pretty quick so she'll have it in time for Easter and the bunny pictures .

Watched Survivor last night and then went to bed. Tried watching the Reds game while laying in bed but the channel kept freezing so I switched over the the basketball game, University of Cincinnati (UC) was playing in the tournament .

Finishing up the facial moisturizer product study that I've been on for the past 8 weeks today so I'll get paid for that . Using that money to pay for the hotel when I go to Florida in July. My friend saw that airline ticket prices dropped yesterday so we all bought our plane tickets. We wanted to stay at around $150 so with tax we paid $161. It's only $20 more than last year and this was the lowest it's been since January.

They kept predicting rain for the past 2 days but I don't think we ever got any but tonight we're supposed to be getting some storms and then rain all day tomorrow . Yay for my basement .

That's about it, back to work. Have a great day!

 

[lynxstch]

Good morning. Woke up to a freak March thunderstorm this morning. It was pretty violent. The rain was pounding sideways against the windows, and the thunder and lightening were almost constant. I don't mind thunder, but lightening scares me, always has. I used to hide under the bed when I was little.

Dave had to get his wife,non wife out of jail at 7 this morning. She had to serve a 15 day sentence and then another 10 day one. She got dizzy and hit a telephone pole, and they arrested her for being DUI. She doesn't drink, but she takes heart and psych meds and they told her she wasn't supposed to be driving while taking them. I have never heard of such a thing. She had just gone to court for the first offense when it happened again. Dave was going to pick her up, take her to the market, then to her house, and then come here. I got rid of all the drop cloths and picked up all his tools, then washed the floor in there. Last night I painted the inside of the linen closet before he puts the shelves in today. We are going to Lowes for the returns and few things we need to finish and then to Frostburg to get the wood trim. I would rather pay $8 for 8 feet there, than $27 for 8 feet at Lowes!

Sun is supposed to come out and the temps go to 75, right now it's still 52 outside.

Have a great Thursday

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Good Morning everyone from dry LA,

always that each of you had a good night's sleep, I did, and are having a warm and blessed Thursday, too. Thankful to God also that dad just got safely home from morning at 99 and Target. This afternoon we will be doing some online Walmart needed shopping as well. I'll be getting some Easter mail ready

Hooray for playground funwith the twins, PollyannaMom. Thank you, always, for the love and care you give them and vice versa to them as they give you. I LOVE that together you and the little girl made a salsa using a recipe from a book that she read, what a wonderful way to connect together a story with a fun, learning, and hopefully tasty activity. I had to Google Othello. Good for the little boy! Thank you, of course, for teaching him to play.

Send me some, Kirby! I'm grateful to have helped save you money. Thank you for your church pantry donation.

AuntieMe3 and Snowysmom (enjoy your lunch and time with your friend) extra bug and prayers to both of you.

How frustrating, Footballmouse! Dad has found that CVS often has trouble locating our ordered photos. I hope you finally were able to use their photo printer. How is the print quality? CVS is very handy but lately (and to be fair we print mostly dark apartment or internet found images) the printed pictures are awfully dark. Mia. Have a wonderful celebration with her and Evan tonight.

How awful for Dave and his wife, Lynn! Smart shopping as always, too! I'm sorry though you may need to take a to save but sounds worth it. I don't care for thunder lightning!

Wishing all of dear you a good afternoon. I will check back in later.
