I was hoping everybody would forget today is the day JACKIE. I was going to remain masked and mum until later this afternoon. Actually I'm much luckier than PATSY and John and most people because although quite a distance to travel it is an appointment time so I presume no line ups in other words. I think I'm the last of the first time shots now in our group? And the most complaining! The second shots are to be put back three - four months to allow all who want it a chance of the first shot.
Supplies must be getting low? I tend to agree with your Canada London friend and her views on the government but the opposition are equally bad! What's new. I see Boris was in the wars with his words on greed!
The tee shirt would have been something so thank you for the thought! Lol.
Anyway it's a lovely sunny day for a car ride although my spoilt little Bean won't be happy left at home. Just like Katie she goes everywhere with me. If I wasn't so old I'd get a companion for her. I'm sure she will have a sore throat when I return.
Such bad news for you concerning your daughter Patsy. The virus does seem to linger for ages after one is 'cured'.
Well, time to do something! I'm wearing a short sleeved summer top and despite the "heatwave" feel decidedly chilly. Will wear my thick winter jacket over the top later, brrrrrrrrr.

Have a wonderful day!
Of course you realise every image of a Barbie birthday card shows the doll that's married to Ken so I know it's not you!!

It's your birthday today Barbie?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY and I hope today is really special for you!
Put on those dancing shoes!
Anne. 🌷🌷🌷🌷0 -
Hello dear ones! The sun is shining...in between the rain showers. But it is still very chilly, there is something in the air that says it is spring. She is such a flirt, that lovely season we all urge to welcome!
First I must say Happy birthday Barbie. You are that unflappably dancing lady we all admire. I wish I could put out a lovely birthday card for you. My old computer and ancient ipad are cranky and does not cooperate with graphics. You are forever positive and show us constantly how to count our blessings and live a happy contented life. You offer us great life lessons. I hope your birthday is as wonderful as you are. We are blessed that you are part of the sneakers. Dance on!
Anne: oh my dear friend! I suspect that this little adventure today will be interesting. Probably uneventful...but after, you will feel the anxiety level diminish greatly. We all say we are not too worried about it. We are all careful, we all wear our masks and try to keep our distance, the shots help us take a deep breath and have high hopes for that new normal. Jilly will find a way to keep a vigil until her friend/mama/playmate will return. Katy can see out of the deck doors, upon the rare occasion she must stay home she looks out the window on the doors. I know she does. There is doggie slobber all over the glass. Jilly will find a way to keep watch as well.
Exercises, fold a load of laundry, quick sweep and mop the kitchen floor, two phone calls, one to check on our daughter and the wife of our friend. Dinner is a big tossed salad and Avocado toast.

Happy Thursday!
Meeting day and then a pick up from Walmart. I ordered some high heat paint used for grills to paint my warming plate on my coffee maker. Wish me luck so the whole kitchen isn't painted black. lol
Cold and storms predicted tonight, the only thing I don't like about Spring.
I agree with Patsy, there is something comforting in knowing we have our vaccines bringing us closer to a normal life once again. I have a friend who is in her 40's who had Covid months ago and she is still suffering with after effects, especially with her lungs. She got vaccinated yesterday so she is hoping that will help get rid of some of the symptoms. Good luck to your daughter.
Annsie, good luck with the shot, praying no side effects for you and you can rest easy again.
Jackie, cute shirt. I hope the sun stays out for you and the hens will appreciate a clean home.
I took your advice and googles and will try to paint the warming plate. I kept my old coffee maker just in case I mess it up. lol
Lin, you seem to be so busy lately, take some time for yourself.
Time to hit the showers and get ready for meeting. Have a good safe day.

All done and dusted here. No after effects so far and I got the Pfizer vaccine. Lovely nurse, Alice. I hardly felt a thing. One thing amazed me. I have never seen so many over 80s in wheelchairs, pushing walkers, and leaning on their walking sticks or care givers. I am truly blessed still walking on my own two pins.
Jill and I went for a walk once I got back home. Boy was she one happy pup to see mom again. It's nice having a little furry love you.
Now I've got to go and put my proof of shot somewhere safe. Second doses not to be given out until mid July, I asked if I could donate my shot to Mark but they wouldn't let me. I feel his age group needs it more than my generation.
Annsie. ❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️2 -
Yea! Hooray! Anne got shot! How wonderful. Now all of us sneakers are shot. Some twice but we all are safer and closer to that normal we all want to see. Well done, dear Anne. With the extraordinary problems in the past with blood clotting, doing this required no small amount of courage and determination. Jilly’s mom will be making her special lamb chops and Mike will continue to take her on her long walks. Splendid!

Thanks PATSY. Still no reaction after 3.5 hours. I wasn't worried about the actual poke and in truth she was such a nice, warm registered nurse no one was more surprised than me when she said "all done". I've just been peering at my arm and can't see the entry point. Did I REALLY get the shot? Well I've got my certificate and a sticker which reads "I've had my shot" so I guess I did.
Anne.💉1 -
Welcome home Anne, that took oodles of courage so Bravo! I’m glad you received the Pfizer jab as well which must have been a relief when you were told. Wonderful; now you can relax!
Brave Jilly too coping with being left on her own but I bet you both thoroughly enjoyed your walk together.... a touch of normalcy in a crazy world!
Have a cosy snuggle together this evening. 😘

Uhoooooooh! I just got an invitation for a MFP friend and the picture looks very suspiciously like pornography or something similar. I, of course, rejected the invitation but wanted to warn everyone that there might be a calculated effort to sign up people. I am not very savvy about things like this, maybe my first impression was wrong but I don’t think so. Just warning.....

Patsy, I have received quite a number of those lately. I just delete and forget about it.

Thank you all for the warm birthday greetings. My day was perfect. It began with a card from Jake and the pets and kept getting better. I got to do all the things I like to do which are the same things I do every day. I had a quick visit in the driveway with my friends whose mail I forward to California. They were here for a few days but had a crisis at their house and couldn't come for a visit; They stopped on their way back to California to deliver homemade chocolate cupcakes (I gave them to Jake) and a Costco gift card. I am truly a fortunate person. In my county they have now made the Moderna vaccine available to anyone ages 18+. We don't plan to do anything different even though we are three weeks past the second jab. The only thing I'd like to be back to "normal" is petting dogs. Sasha is so sad when we see people on our walks and they can't pet her.Anne, congrats on getting your vaccine.Jackie, for many years my closest teaching associate was named Ken and many people on staff called us "Ken and Barbie".

Yes, I get them when the face becomes visible! Goodness knows why but the main thing is Bean is ignored except by her pals the Sneakers! Lovely photo of the beautiful Katie PATSY and back to our handsome George JACKIE.
I'm still around with nothing worse than a very slightly sore arm. Mind you I was in bed at 8:30 because I couldn't keep my peepers open. I've just done my half hour trot around the homestead and eaten my oatmeal and I better get moving before the groceries arrive early again. I don't think Michael will show his face because thunderstorms predicted for this morning and he won't want to take Bean out for a long hike in rain.
Wonderful day BARBIE. My sort of happy day.
Mmmm, might wash the sheets today seeing today appears to be a wash out.

The sound of wind and rain was loud last night and we were promised stormy hail showers for today but apart from a couple of times needing to get myself under cover it’s not been too bad. I do seem to have gone round in several circles, first returning to the pet shop I visited on Monday when they were out of the Greenie denture sticks Betty has, only to find they are still out of stock. We import a lot of pet food and treats from the EU but unfortunately new customs regulations since Brexit are causing delays in just about everything we buy. Anyway this afternoon I went back out, this time to the local farm supply store that I remembered didn’t run out of much when panic buying was going on last year and hooray, Betty’s low fat sticks in the petite size were on the shelf so we are stocked up for the next 30 days! I also stopped at a corner shop that always sells beautiful greetings cards, this time for a couple of Easter greetings to send to a cousin and an aunt. At times like this I wish I had time to be as creative as Lin because having returned home I now think I should have bought more to send to friends on their own because of lockdown. I have posted a box of luxury small chocolate Easter eggs to my school friend Anne (the other Anne with an E!) and a package has arrived here from her with what looks like treats for the pooches and Brady.
My builder has phoned today to confirm he will start work Monday morning... at last! It’s no doubt going to be hellish for a couple of weeks but I can put up with that as it will mean finally getting the downstairs rooms in order and decorated. You might see the occasional boring photo of piles of rubble as I share my experience!
Lin, yesterday’s teapot is nuts but I love the colours, as if someone got hold of a large pack of liquorice all sorts and squished them all together!
How funny about you and Ken Barbie. You work so hard at it I’m betting you are just as slim as the other Barbie!
Both my little hens are showing signs of being broody and I’ve left a bid on 6 black Belgian d’anver fertilised eggs on eBay with a certain amount of trepidation because what if I win and 6 cockerels, as feisty as Charlie, hatch out! I’m already thinking that if I’m outbid I won’t mind at all!!
Cup of tea drunk so I will start moving more items upstairs or down to the garden shed.
Enjoy the day whatever it brings and stay safe.

Happy Saturday! I have stripped my whole bed down including the cover that covers my foam mattress topper which is a horrible job to do alone, a lot of flipping of heavy foam. Took my winter spread off to bring to the trash as it is just too lumpy and will put on my spring/summer spread. I also fluffed up my pillows in the dryer and I am doing my usual laundry. It is chilly outside so a good day to get it done.
I painted my coffee pot heating plate and it turned out great, at least I think so.
As far as friends request, I do not accept any and delete them. I am sure some are harmless but I like our little group, maybe I should make it private, what do you think? I will miss your faces.
Jackie, and now the mess begins but it will be so worth it when done. At least it should be done by summer and you can enjoy the garden and rest in comfort in the evening. One Charlie would be fun, he used to make us laugh.
Annsie, glad you had no big side effects, my arm was sore for a short time but I took some Tylenol. I seemed to be more tired that day as well but fine the next day. Did they schedule your second doze?
Lin, what a strange looking tea pot, Jackie is right, it looks like licorice.
Barbie, glad you had a fun birthday and what nice friends you have. Illinois is opening up to anyone over the age of 16 for vaccines on April 12. That is the first day to register so it will probably take until the end of April for all of them to get the vaccine.
Patsy, Lin is correct, just delete them and forget about it. Cute picture of Katie.
Where oh where has out little Bob gone??
Already time for lunch and still have to ride the bike, still can't figure out where the time goes.
Stay safe.
Sandy

My second dose isn't until the end of July Sandy because the meds want more people vaccinated at least for the first time. I WAS scheduled for April. I guess there's a shortage of vaccine in this country. I'm finally waking up after drooping most of the day and decided to join you in stripping down the bed sheets and duvet. Mikes coming over tomorrow and it will be a job out the way.
I delete all friend requests as well. Just stick with our little group.
Off to work I go,

Hello. Strange night here. I think spring brings odd weather that is a mix of winter and spring. Our camellia bush is loaded with buds and are starting to open. They will need a sweater... The nights are very cold and the days are warming up. We have partly cloudy days with cold showers intermittently.
I followed Anne’s suggestion immediately on the bad friend invite. I love our little group. We all know each other so well. I have often said, I would know any of you if I passed you in the street. There have been so many that have come and gone on to other activities. I feel like a mother hen myself. I want to gather and keep all of you dear friends safe and nearby, at least internet near. Would making the sneakers forum privet mean others can’t join us? But seriously this is a precious little group.
Sandy: that coffee maker looks almost exactly like mine. Great job on refurbishing the heating plate.
Lin: confession time...I rather like strange looking teapots. I have several that were gifts and a couple handmade ones from Potter artists. We often used to exchange art pieces after an art show. I always loved the funny and very odd pieces...like that last teapot.
Jackie: I order Katie’s vitamins from a pet catalog online. I also order some things from Dr. Jones, our wonderful holistic YouTube vet. The things we do to keep our fur family safe and healthy!!! Worth every Penny, as far as we are concerned.
Anne: I am so relieved that your symptoms after the vaccine were minimal. Frankly, I was a little concerned but really felt you would be fine. But there is always that tiny little worry.........
Veggie pizza night, continuing with episode of the Crown. Fun! Sort of historical, great art direction with great old cars and costumes as well as houses and buildings. We are enjoying it all.

Good afternoon. Another day on the phone, Zoom and texting. Maybe Spring is bringing people out of hibernation and in a better mood? So all caught up on local news now. Nothing that you would find interesting but I did of course.
Received a grocery order this morning but again not many items. I just place the tiniest orders. At Walmart the person delivering to my car will say, is that all you ordered? Or that is the smallest order today. The orders are quite easy to put away.
My tax papers have arrived for signatures (and to attach checks). I will return them to my tax attorney and they will sign and send them. So that chore will be finished. Check mark.
A friend was texting with me this morning about a new digital library service called Libby. I downloaded the app and added my library card number. So much easier than the old Overdrive system. And that is funny because the same people developed this one. So a new source for hunting for books to read. I read a few samples and if the books are the same layout as the samples, much easier to read there than on my Kindle app.
Annsie, glad you are doing well after your first shot. And I hope tomorrow will be a good day and excellent visit with Michael. Will your weather be springlike?
Jackie, ah yes, time for the contractor. You have a good attitude about the process. We will be supporting you if you want to moan but also hoping it won’t be as disruptive as imagined.
Sandy, good job on the coffee pot warming plate. I hope it works well for you. Nice! What a great job on your laundry.
Patsy, I also love the strange artsy teapots but I like the regular ones too. Something about the unusual attracts me. Veggie pizza sounds good. Enjoy your evening.
Back to check writing.
Be safe everyone.

I am now displaying a dog photo as well. This is one of my dear departed Siberian Huskies.

Lovely to see your beautiful dog LIN. Our pets may be gone but a beloved pet is never forgotten. I often think of my Jenny. She was part lab and something else. That dear faithful dog saw me through some very difficult times in my life and was sweet natured just like little Jilly Bean.
Thank you for giving us a glimpse of your beautiful huskie. Names of both please.
I've just realized - every one of our group has or had a much loved pet. Says something about us doesn't it!
