@dazedx3 Glad your surgery went well, I hope your recovery goes smoothly. That's sad about the table. Prayers for your daughter and the baby.

@dazedx3 - hoping everything turns out OK

Hello everyone…my surgery is over and I’m hoping recovery goes better this time. The dr. had to add 6mm to the kneecap so that is significant! I had my first phy. therapy apppt today. Why they put that department the farthest from the entry I’ll never understand. I will say that one forgets how much pain there is with a knee surgery.

DD is moving into their new home today. She did text and say that the movers wrecked her round dining table That table really kind of means a lot to us because we worked to refinish it together. It took us hours and hours but we had a lot of good talks. If you have some extra prayer time we would appreciate it, she is having some problems with the pregnancy, time will tell.

Okay, that’s all for now, I get so sleepy. Thanks Snowysmom for thinking of me.

Glad to hear the surgery went well. Recovery is tough. If you need a pick me up, this is one of the best places to be.

Maybe the damaged table is a blessing in disguise. Might give you and DD another opportunity to have some great talks.

Prayers up for DD

I like how you put that SpaceMan! Often times the biggest blessings are unexpected extra moments with those we love.

Good early Morning with love friends. Wishing each of you a happy Saturday.

Spaceman Kind and true words for Dazed.

Good morning. Another nice day with temps in the mid 80s. I have already been to Hannafords for my weekly trip. Did not need too much but still $70. I did get a chicken and produce so that adds up quickly. I hope to make a chicken, broccoli, egg noodle casserole for dinner for a few nights. I am going to the Lake to walk and then to Kohls. I walked at the dog park yesterday. I saw so many butterflies. 2 small butterflies that were orange and almost reticulated with black lines followed me for a bit. The same kind also followed me a bit at the lake the other day. They are lovely. They were not monarch butterflies but just as pretty. I love to see the birds, butterflies, and dragonflies this time of year. Kenny is coming by today for a walk through of the condo. My first year of ownership is up at the end of next month so I want to be sure we found everything obvious that needs to be fixed before the warranty expires. I want to get it on the punch list. Kenny has good eyes and if there is something to be found, he will find it. I have one item still on the punch list and it is like pulling teeth to get the foreman to get back here to look. I will email again Monday. One thing I have learned this year is persistence and getting a bit feisty although Chris would probably say I have always been a bit feisty especially in my later years.

Have a good Saturday.

Good early Morning with love friends. Wishing each of you a happy Saturday.

Thanks! So far, it's starting out with a power outage

It flickered early this morning, but came right back. Then a few minutes ago, my neighbor came over to say theirs had gone out and see if ours had, and we realized ours had too (we didn't have the TV on, and it was sunny enough not to need the overhead kitchen light, so we didn't notice at first).

I hope it's an easy fix not related to yesterday's big mess!

 

[lynxstch]

Good morning. Finally a day that's only going to be in the low 80's, with chances of storms this afternoon

@Snowysmom Hard to believe it's almost a year since you bought the condo. You've come a long way since then and we're all proud of you!

Nothing new going on here. I can't believe that my friend and I talked on the phone for almost 5 hours last night, lol. It was 3:30 my time when we finally hung up. You'd think we'd have nothing to talk about, but we always find something. I'm going to need a little siesta this afternoon.

Have a nice Saturday.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Update - power is back!

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Yay that your power is back dear PollyannaMom!

Snowysmom, Amen to what Lynn said. We are indeed so proud of and always here for you.

God Bless your friend, dear Lynn and what a gift of grace you are to her!

Have a good afternoon friends.

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Hope everyone is having a good weekend! Working.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Pea. Be safe, take care, and always thank you for all the kind great care you give so many.

 

[lynxstch]

Good morning. Back to the 90's again today. Lower temps tomorrow with a greater chance of rain. We need it so badly.

Same old same old around here, nothing new.

Have a nice relaxing Sunday

 

[Snowysmom]

Good morning. It is going to be a bit warmer today in the 80s. Rain is coming in for Tues, Wed, and Thurs according to the forecast. I have been out and around to Wegmans, walked around the complex, and then went to the Lake to walk. I am a bit anxious today so alot of walking helps. Kenny came by yesterday with Clifford the big yellow dog. Kenny took a good look around the condo to see if there is anything else that needs to be done. The few things were minor like a couple of door stops which he said he can put in easily. I would rather he do it as I know it will be done well and right. He looked outside too at siding and the roof. At least those are the responsibility of the HOA but I want to be sure they are fine so no water gets in and causes damage I have to take care of. Not much else going on today.

Have a good Sunday.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Happy SundayLove to all my Quacker Family. Dad went shopping at Pavilions this morning. We're expecting paper towels from Walmart this afternoon. As always, I look forward to watching online worship a little later. God willing one day when I am completely back to normal health, I will be so thankful to follow God's call to check out new possible churches. The congregation I was so active in prepandemic has some practices I don't agree with. Even before Covid, I felt a sad change at the church and the stirrings in my heart of needing to look into other options. Zero blame or ever judgment--never my intention or place, just sharing how I feel. God may eventually lead me back there, too! The journey will be a blessing indeed. Have a great rest of the day friends.

 

[PollyannaMom]

Back from a day the zoo today. Saw some great animals! Lots of walking in the heat, though, so I'm tired and want to be inside in the AC...but the cat wants to be out here on the porch - guess who won??

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Come and Find the Quiet Center was one of today's church hymns. I thought of all of dear you, my Quacker family with it. Remember to rest and trust in Him. He is with you forever. I sure care, too. Should any of you also be interested in a link to today's sermon on the importance of rest, PM me and I will send you the link. Have a good night, friends with love.

 

[Snowysmom]

Good morning. It is in the 60s now with temps heading to the 80s. Rain is coming Tues and Wed. I got together the clothes I am bringing on the cruise. I actually know what I will wear each day. I feel better that way as I know what exactly to pack, what looks good on me, and easy to get ready each day. Yesterday Kenny invited me to dinner. He smoked some chicken and did chicken wings. It was so good. I videochatted with Jeff and the kids. They are back from the Cape. Ellie was so tired she could hardly tell me how she was doing. She needs a vacation from the vacation. Sam as always was saying Nana and coming over to wave to me. Charlotte and Luke told me about their trip. Quiet week this week so I will do alot of walking when weather permits with probably a couple of trip to the gym to use the treadmill.

Have a good day.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Good Morning

Dear SnowysmomI am really so thankful that you have an upcoming cruise to enjoy and always the blessing of nearby family. They are all sure graced to have you!

Happy Monday and last full week of July to all. Dad, thank God, intends to stay home today. He sure needs to rest more. I am looking forward also to the extra blessing of talking with Pastor Louise later today. Our weekly conversations and time of prayer these last few weeks have meant so much to me. Dad and I are also expecting a Boost Aquafina delivery this afternoon.

I've been doing my best to do more exercises. I'm trying so hard to get up more often both from my recliner chair and bed. From the chair (lower than my bed) one hand on the walker and the other on the armrest sure make it easier to stand up. From the bed it is becoming easier for me as I gain strength to get up on my own with the walker right in front of me. Either/any way safely getting up period let alone better/steadier is only by the Grace of God. I pray never to take any normal movement for granted again. Mobility absolutely is a gift to chrrish and use well in faith.

Vivian is scheduled to come again on Thursday. I probably will cut her coming to every other week to save money. She sincerely is so appreciated by me. Her visits are also very expensive for dad and I. I absolutely will daily do exercise on my own. Keeping this in prayer. I thank each of you always with all my heart for all your recovery prayers.

Have a great Monday, friends. I will check back in later
