Hug PollyannaMom. I hope your DH enjoys his new chair.

The remote to my recliner chair officially gave out later yesterday. Grace of God l, I was able to catch a little sleep on my bed. Walmart.com indicates the new remote is coming today, what an extra blessing that would be! Truly any sleep and rest is such a blessing.

I look forward as always to online worship later.

Sunday joy to all with love.

Glad to hear your remote is coming. DH didn't need a new chair, just the plastic mat that goes under it so the chair will roll in spite of being on carpet. The old one was wearing out and had cracked through in several places, so the chair wheels were catching in the cracks.

@flyingdumbo127 Glad the remote is coming today. I remember when I had my knees replaced I slept in the same kind of chair for weeks until I was able to make a slow transition to sleeping in bed again. I hope you are able to get good sleep in your bed again soon.

Good morning. It is partly sunny here with blue sky and white clouds. It is pretty. The temps are supposed to go to near 90 today. I have been to Wegman's to get cupcakes for Owen birthday dinner at Kenny's tonight. I am planning to go walk at the lake before the temps get too bad and then do some work, housework, and CVS. Kenny found out his arbitration hearing for his divorce is this month. His attorney is feeling better so that is good. I am hoping for the best outcome for everyone especially the kids.

Have a good Sunday.

Hi, Catching up on reading. @Snowysmom , have a wonderful time at Owen’s birthday! @flyingdumbo127 , happy the chair has helped you so much, that you are getting stronger!
We were at WDW, wonderful time with cousin John, and his wife, Pat. Love the special effect balloons!



We got home yesterday and celebrated Tom’s 80th birthday, very early, it’s November 17, but we had all 5 grands, both sons, one daughter in law, and one dear Cousin, his wife and son with us. My wonderful Sister and Garry hosted everyone! Today one son and three Grands are back in MA where they are moving into their house that could have been ready in January. The extra months of two mortgage payments have been very hard on them and their finances. They expect their old house can be rented in the next two weeks, so, the sooner it’s empty, the sooner they will be back on track.

Just a picture of Tom and his cake!


That’s son, Greg, with the cast ( one of his muscles detached from his elbow a few weeks ago during volleyball game! He had an operation and it’s getting better!) and one of his sons, Drew, 10 soon to be 11, in the picture.

Good morning. Just a quick hello. We're having a blast. We've done nothing but laugh and be crazy. We're sticking to doing things mostly indoors where it's cool. We took a picnic lunch to Blackwater Falls yesterday and played in the waterfalls to stay cool.

This heat is ridiculous. We're going to hit 100 on Tuesday and 90's the rest of the week. She's leaving on Wednesday instead of Tuesday, but when she gets home, they're going to be 100 Thurs, Fri, and Sat. They don't get the humidity in CO, and they normally don't get this heat either. So the crazy is all over the place.

I hope everyone is well. I've been skimming the posts (not that there's been a lot of them. We seem to be losing more Quackers all the time.)

Have a great day, we're heading for the outlet stores today for some retail therapy.
Stay cool everyone!

Happy early birthday to Tom dear Bobbi! Love to you always. Beautiful pictures as always, thank you.

Dear Lynn, praise extra indeed to God. I am so thankful you are enjoying a fun break with a friend. How blessed she is as are we to have you in our lives.

God willing the new remote will come today. Dad and I sure pray it will. Update to come. Happy Sunday to all with a hug.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Slipping thread good afternoon thread save. I just watched and enjoyed online worship. The pastor's message was about connection among generations to one another and to God. Great sermon. No remote yet. The last update was from 4 hours ago saying it was out for delivery a good hour+ from us. Dad and I are sure praying it does come today. God willing a happy remote update to come later.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Sweet dreams with all my love. Thanks to God, the new remote came and I was able earlier to get a few hours of sleep. It is such a blessing to have a working recliner chair again. One odd thing that I will pay attention to is that the remote at one point did respond in the opposite way that it should have. That was an issue on the old remote. Praying this new remote just needs a few uses. I sure am grateful for it already.

Vivian texted me to say she is back from her vacation. Tomorrow before 3 (24 hours before my scheduled Tuesday at 3 PT appointment with Vivian) I need to decide whether to cancel Tuesday and just have Vivian come on Thursday this week. Dad and I had discussed cutting my PT to once a week due to cost. After the last several days especially, I'm tired. Extra Mercy of God, I also have gotten in a lot of extra PT and exercise due to the chair situation! That inspires me to also want to keep Tuesday's session. I just also need to balance catching back up with sleep and rest which is also why (besides cost) I may opt to cancel Tuesday.

Tomorrow afteenoon God willing is when I will be experiencing healing touch virtually by phone thanks to God connecting me so many years ago with my friend Pastor Louise. I am looking forward to and am so thankful for that.

Hugs to all. Prayers each of you are sleeping peacefully right now and that soon I will be doing likewise!

 

[Snowysmom]

Good morning. It is 66 here with temps heading to 90 today. We are getting the heat for the next couple of days. I have salt therapy today. I am looking forward to relaxing a bit. Owen had a good birthday dinner. He got gifts from Dad but I saved mine for his party on Saturday.

Have a good day. Off to work.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Hug Snowysmom and forever thank you for the love and kindness you give all your precious grandkids. Salt therapy prayers.

Good morning everyone

Thanks to God I did get sleep earlier and feel rested now. The new remote is still acting up. I will call Golden Technologies, the company that made the chair, later. When I press, "sit" from a completely reclined position, the chair does 90% comply. The weird part is that the chair does not come down 100% to the floor like it should! Pushing "Up," ultimately creates a lower chai with too straight back. When I try to recline the back, the back becomes more upright! Clearly something is off. Extra prayers and most of all always my complete faith and thanks to God for everything always and that of course in His time I will be 100% recovered. Update to come later. Remindet also to always be grateful for working electronics!

Have a happy Monday dear friends.

 

[lynxstch]

Good morning. I can't take much more of this heat. It's miserable to even go outside. We're trying to stay anywhere that it's cool and do things. Now when she gets home they're going to be hitting 102 or higher. We're supposed to get almost 100% chance of rain on Wednesday, of course, because she's flying back home. Oh well, we can't control the weather. I'm going to head to CO in the fall, and we're still planning our Hawaii vacation.
Not sure what we're going to do today, maybe hit a cool movie theater and do lunch. It's just nice to have someone to talk to. The house is too quiet and lonely most of the time.
Have a nice day, stay cool. Any of our Quackers in the path of the hurricane, stay safe.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

You just take care and keep cool dear Lynn. Enjoy this extra time with your friend. Hugs, I'm so thankful you have upcoming positive travel plans. You should come further West of CO to CA

A few weeks ago, a friend sent me some lotus seeds… three have germinated and I have been able to put them in a small saucer-like planter in the pond. This will be exciting to see if I can get a flower eventually!

We are not extremely hot in Cape May. Tom and I did swim in pool this morning. I am sad for those who have the intense heat, Son’s neighborhood in Houston is getting the rain and wind. They are here, but keeping in touch with friends.

Tonight, my sister and I will work on putting together a family calendar with our young cousin, Konnor, who is very interested in ancestry.

@flyingdumbo127, I hope the recliner issue gets resolved.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Thank you, dear Bobbi! Golden never did call back today. Dad had the good idea of checking whether he still has the phone number for Armando the kind serviceman who came out last week about the chair. So far, as I said, how blessed we are that the chair 95% does work just fine. I just pray that the remote not responding 100% as it should is not an indication that there is an issue still with either it or the chair itself.

Dad and I are so extra grateful to God to have heard from our cousins Steve and Ruth in Houston earlier this morning. They were directly by the hurricane but are fine. Praying that our Quacker family member Kirby and her family along with any other Quackers in TX are okay, too!

Editing to add that I did cancel Vivian's visit tomorrow. I will see her on Thursday. It was a blessing to have been able to ask the representative I spoke with at the pt company to please pass on my appreciation of Vivian to her boss. That brought me joy to do

Afternoon hug to all.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Good evening thread save to share how lovely it was to have a long conversation and times of prayer with my friend Pastor Louise. Pre pandemic, I would see her at least once a week usually twice at church. I haven't seen her since before Covid started! God willing later this year that will change. Healing Touch experience was very peaceful. I would recommend that any of you interested reach out to a minister who practices this for more information. We talked for a good while initially and prayed together. Louise shared with me how healing touch works and asked me for three specific prayers. Then we hung up and each had a good 25 minutes of quiet prayer on our own. When Louise called me back afterwards, we shared our experiences during our times of prayer and agreed to meet again by phone next Monday. I am so thankful and always to God for connecting me to her. Of course, I always also am grateful God connected all of us together. Have a good evening, dear friends and sweet dreams later, too.

 

[Snowysmom]

@flyingdumbo127 How nice that you had such a peaceful talk with Pastor Louise. Sounds so calming. I hope you hear back about the remote and chair.

Good morning. It will be another hot day with temps in the 90s. I may go to the gym to do the treadmill after work. It may be too hot to walk outside in the afternoon. I did salt therapy yesterday. I felt relaxed afterwards which helps. I am getting ready for the cruise a bit once in a while. Kenny wonders why I start weeks before but I tell him planning is part of the experience.

Off to work. Have a good day.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Thanks dear Snowysmom. I think you would have enjoyed the experience too. I'm so grateful the salt therapy was positive and am excited for you about your cruise. Where are you going again?Dad and I wll try to find out remote information later today.

Happy Tuesday with love to all.

 

[lynxstch]

Good morning. Going to be a scorcher near 100.

Have a good day, stay cool

 

[dazedx3]

Hello quackers,
Glad to hear most are enjoying the summer. We have had so much rain that many of my annuals have died due to, too much water. Usually we are in a drought by this time but not this year.

I have “ graduated” from the grief support group. I joined another group called “Widow’s Walk” they meet Friday morning for coffee and conversation. Not sure how I feel about it yet.

As you may remember my knee replacement did not go well. I am having a revision surgery on Monday. That pretty much will put my summer to an end.
I’m very anxious about this surgery. I am usually relaxed about stuff like this but without Kris, it is really stressful. I’m trying to piece together some people to help me afterward for a few days. I hate asking. Then in about 6-8 weeks I will be having the other knee done.

Have a nice day everyone!

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Dear DazedI wish I lived closer to you. I would be so blessed to help you in some way. Please PM me if you would enjoy some mailYou are not (ever) alone. All of us truly care, too, my friend.

Love the and friends pool picture dear Lynn. Please take extra care and keep cool.

 

[bobbiwoz]

@dazedx3 I can’t blame you a bit for being a bit anxious. I pray that you find people you can turn to for help. Hugs.
