Happy Friday!
Cool morning but warming up. Meeting Lisa's mom for lunch at one, then going to Xfinity as I didn't make it there yesterday. I went to bring Babe flowers at the cemetery for our anniversary. I did get my car the VIP wash so they did the inside and out, looks great.
Will be leaving early tomorrow for Western so not sure if I will have time to check in. Will be home Sunday.
Barbie, I am glad Jake is home and back with his adorable family, I am sure you all missed him.
Take care everyone, Covid is going around again, just be careful

Happy Friday. I’ve already lost my post once so short and sweet. Good news Barbie, Jake is home and doing well. Our mild weather continues so walks and gardening are pleasant. This morning I really wanted to stay in bed for longer but knew I needed to shop for groceries so it was up and at ‘em! It was perfect timing because I almost had the store to myself. On to another store for pet food, then filled the car with fuel before coming home to collect George and Betty and drive to the moors.
While out with Linda on Wednesday I bought a tray of leeks to plant in my garden and also cabbages so decided to look through my seed box to see what else I can grow in the Winter months. My heated propagator is now switched on on a window sill with trays of perpetual spinach, red kale and Chinese cabbage so I will hopefully keep the veggie garden producing.
More problems with my smart tv losing its signal and another hour wasted retuning so many times that when I finally regained the channels I had no idea what I had done to fix it!
I’m doing my best to lose a few pounds and do find if I keep busy I don’t get hungry. The best trick of all of course is to not buy chocolate biscuits, ice cream and starchy food so we’ll see how that goes!
The page is moving about and rolling so I will finish before Imlose another post.
Take care everyone.

Hello friends. The plumber did finally arrive yesterday and he did some work to stop the leaks. He said I should try to descale the shower head myself and if that didn’t help, I should purchase a new one. I have no idea how I would purchase a new one and I definitely could not install it. The current one is welded in place with lime and scale. I am trying a bag of vinegar tied to the shower head and will see tomorrow if it has helped. If not, I will call my handy man again.
I got up quite early today to pick up a small grocery order from Walmart. Again, not all items were available but I do seem to get the same person each time I pick up early morning orders. She says you never know what will be in the store. Too true! And once again, I was too early to go to Trader Joe’s.
I am working at cutting paper for the fronts of my Thanksgiving cards. Haven’t decided on what will be inside.
Hallelujah, it is raining this afternoon. More than just a tiny sprinkle for once.
I picked up my mail and ended up needing a call to my insurance agent, bills to pay, a call to the bank needed to sort out a CD. And I need to change license plates on my vehicle. I am guessing that will require a handyman visit as well as there is normally one or two screws that do not cooperate.
I have laundry and cooking on my schedule for the weekend. The excitement never ends.
Jackie, I am sorry you lost your TV tracking once again. I do not think the TV is that smart!
Sandy, safe travels once again.
Anne, are you getting veggies regularly now? I hope the nasty woman is not bothering you dear dear Jilly.
Be safe everyone.

Happy Sunday Sneakers. Our weather is changing so this morning’s walk was a soaking one but at least it remains mild. Before we left, I noticed Betty was constantly licking nails on her back paws and when she finally let me look I could see one nail on each was pressing into a pad, those the practice nurse missed last time but did cut her toes!
It was a struggle but I’ve managed to clip those hurting her and will take a closer look at the rest of them later. I’m in pottering mode so this afternoon I’m washing the garden room windows and sills then tidying indoor plants ready for Winter.
The coming week I have plans but most on hold until I get some confirmations. I do have a checkup with my dentist on Thursday and that will mean driving to Plymouth so I’ll combine it with a trip to a furnishings store because I need winter curtains (drapes) for my dining room.
Take care everyone.

Happy Sunday! I am home after a great day yesterday for family day at Marisa's college. There was a great tailgating party before the football game where we could sample all kinds of bbq. Played bags, a game where you throw bean bags into holes if you are lucky. We left to go to Walmart before the football game which we had to evacuate because of lightning so we went to have dinner. The game was postponed but resumed again and we stayed until after the half time show. It was wonderful seeing Marisa and I think she was happy to see us. We spent the night at a hotel and went to Church and then met Marisa for lunch before heading home. Makes my heart happy we are reunited.
Busy week and Bryanna leaves for California on September 29 and I hope I can hold it together. I am taking her and her significant other out for dinner Tuesday and it will be hard. She is like my 5th child and we are so very close but it is time for her to spread her wings. Even typing this I am tearing up.
Sometimes life isn't easy is it?
I hope you are all well especially Jake and have had a wonderful weekend.

Good evening. Just doing stuff around the house and reading this weekend. It was a long church service this morning. Enjoyed it. After lunch, I worked through some of the clothing in my closet. I tried on everything I looked at. That takes a while but I felt better about eliminating those items after spending time with them. After a bit of work there, I moved down to the basement and I continued to clean and straighten things on my built-in shelving units. Closer to having those straightened. Then I have 7 free standing shelving units of various sizes to work on. And several stands for my dehydrator and other items. Such an interesting life.
Sandy, another very enjoyable weekend. I am sorry that Bryanna is moving away. I know you will miss her so much.
Jackie, oh my, poor Betty. I hope her nails are trimmed enough now. I hope you got some rest today.
Barbie, how are things going at your house? Any problems walking both of the dogs on your own? Is Jake able to walk without assistance now?
Hello to Anne, Joy, Diane, Jeri, Patsy and all our Sneaker gang. Be safe.

Happy Monday. I don’t seem to be getting much done today. Some hoovering and phone calls made, including Sheila to make a plan for coffee on Wednesday. No news about George’s groomer’s mother I was going to visit tomorrow. A message told me an ambulance had been called and I’ve tried to find out why but so far no luck. Also left a message for my cousin whose wife has passed away and far less important, the man who is supposed to collect and dispose of bags of rubble left by Peter! It is dry after some early rain so think mucking out the hen house could be the most constructive thing I do today!
I love that teapot Lin. An owl keeps calling out during the daytime so I must do a Google search why it isn’t snoozing and saving it’s voice for night flights!

Happy Monday! I have to go for a mammogram today but then nothing else. Busy week again so I will be happy to stay home today.
So funny story. When Cheryl told me about the weekend she said it is family western day which I took too mean wear western gear. So I wore jeans, boots and a hat only to find out she meant it was family day at Western University. So we took a picture only because we all were laughing so hard. Growing old is not for the weak. lol
This was the last day after eating lunch and then leaving to go hom.
Have a great day.

I have been able to walk both dogs on leashes in the morning. Bessie is older and plodding, Bodhi is young and enthusiastic. It is a challenge Jake is able to walk without the walker and uses his cane to go outside Bodhi is still cautious around Jake and barks a lot but is able to get a little closer every day Barbie 1

Good evening. I ran a few errands this morning. Did a bit of straightening in the basement this afternoon and once again stuffed as much as possible in my trash can. I waited for my neighbor to finish mowing his lawn before rolling out the barrel. Haaaaa.
I talked to a friend for over an hour. Watching the iON + Channel on Roku. My once a week chance to see the TV show “Hudson & Rex.”
Barbie, it sounds as if Jake is doing much better. Yes!
Sandy, glad you didn’t have a jam packed day.
Jackie, you probably got more accomplished than you might have thought at first glance.
Be safe everyone.

Hello to all….have been busy days. The sun setting early now and we feel the change of seasons. Had a nice surprise when my granddaughter called and said she will come down today and stay two days. Jackie is from Georgia and it is so lovely that she moved to California and we can now visit at the drop of a hat. She has received some job offers, but has an interview on Thursday and this is the one she really wants to work. We talked a lot and laughed a lot and she seems to have matured so much since i was back there. Deb and Cha going to diabetic dietician and doc tomorrow, so we ate pizza today so tomorrow we can get on the Dash Diet together. Not Jackie tho!
Hello to Lin, Jackie, Sandy, Barbie, and all you Sneakers out there.

Happy Tuesday! Rainy day but hoping it clears up by dinner time. I am taking Bryanna and her boyfriend out to wish them well on their new journey. Plus I will tell him he better take good care of my little girl. lol I got my mammogram and they have new machines that are much easier than the old ones thank goodness.
Joy, nice hearing from you and glad to hear your granddaughter is coming to spend a couple of days with you. Enjoy!
Barbie, a new puppy and/or dog is just like a baby until you get them trained. lol
Lin, still busy purging, soon you should have an empty house.
Have a good day everyone and keep staying safe and healthy.

It has been raining all day so apart from a walk round the block, I haven’t done much. Yesterday evening I received a text asking if I could postpone my visit to see Maddie until later in the week so I’m now planning to go on Friday morning. At least Wayne arrived to remove the bags of rubble and I had to laugh that although I had been unable to even drag one of them across the ground, he lifted them into a wheelbarrow 6 at a time and trundled down the path to his truck. A nice man so I will use him again if needed. It’s my usual time for a cup of tea so while in my kitchen I’ll prepare chicken breasts for the oven.
Seeds I planted in the heated trays last Friday are already showing themselves which was quick and I must work out how and where to plant them on to protect from pigeons and slugs!
That was funny about you wearing a western outfit Sandy. You look great anyway. 😁
Tomorrow I’m supposed to be picking Sheila up after a doggy walk to take us somewhere for coffee. The forecast is storms so that might restrict where we go!
Happy Tuesday.

Hello, we did get rain today. Actual rain! I worked on some card elements and did more sorting. Today I ran across a box of papers from when my dad was building his house. There are also some things related to the farm interspersed. This box is going to take a long time. My handyman was supposed to stop by but he did not show up. I also got some bills paid and funds transfers submitted. I pulled some more tops from my closet. No size tags so I do want to try them on before deciding on whether to toss or keep.
Sandy, there is no worry of having nothing in my house. There is no end in sight, I am still on the on ramp. 😁
Jackie, I hope you find a nice place to go tomorrow. My gosh, Wayne is super strong! Wow!
Joy, you have a busy life. Great that your granddaughter lives close to you!
Be safe everyone. Fall is approaching fast. 🍁🍂🍁

Happy Wednesday! Rob cancelled me for sitting today, he said it was too complicated with the rain and he wasn't ready to go to office in time. He will go another day if I am available.
Dinner last night was wonderful with Bryanna and Spencer. I will see Bryanna again two more times before she leaves and I cave.
I will just stay in today and do nothing unless I can make an appointment with my daughter's finance guy to ask a few questions.
Tomorrow is my meeting and then picking Cheryl up to go to her old neighbors house for pizza before going to the library for bingo night. No money involved just prizes and we are bringing can or dry goods as a donation. Friday it is time for the one man band again as he is having surgery and will be out of commission for a while. Saturday going to Rob's where Bryanna, Spencer and Lisa's mom will be joining us for their last time with Bryanna. She will do my hair for the last time next Wednesday which will be my parting day with her. It is bittersweet because I want them to be happy but I will miss both of them.
I did ask him last night if he loved my granddaughter and he said I love her very much.
It won't be easy for Bryanna leaving her younger siblings especially her teenage sister who lives with her and her mom. She will always have a home to come back to if things do not work out but I pray they do.
They seem very happy and compatible with each other.
Have a great day and keep staying healthy. Where is our Annie???

We are returning Bodhi to the Humane Society shelter tomorrow. He is clearly afraid of Jake and barks almost non stop when they are together. The woman at the shelter said that Bodhi's littermate is being fostered by a couple that found the same thing. The puppy is fine with the woman in the couple but not with the man. That reinforces our speculation that the puppies were abused in some way by a man and now men scare them. I am sad but Bodhi can't be happy in a home where part of the family is scary to him. We will look for another dog in awhile. Barbie 0 -
Hi, it’s been a busy day and I am quite tired.
Barbie, I am sorry to hear the bad news. Sorry Bodhi couldn’t adjust. 😢
I adopted a Husky rescue a long time ago and she had been abused by the man in the house. Kept her on a log chain, yelled her but never admitted to hitting her. I always had my doubts. She got along with my male Husky and we got along well but she didn’t trust men. She never bit anyone but she really did not want to get trapped close to a man. Luckily I was divorced and there was no man in the house.
Be safe everyone.

Happy Thursday! Meeting today and then bingo at library with Cheryl and her SIL. I do have a phone appointment at 10:30 with my daughter's finance guy just to see if he can help me with a few things.
Lin, sorry your husky didn't like men but glad you were able to keep him without having a man. lol
Barbie, sorry it didn't work out with Bodhi but it might be for the best if he doesn't trust men. I do hope you can find another companion for Bessie.
Missing Anne, anyone talk to her?
Have a good day everyone.

Hello everyone. Sorry I didn’t check in yesterday but it was another one where everything went awry. Sheila’s daughter lives a hundred miles away and had told her she was having ultrasound and internal procedures because she was passing blood and apparently was supposed to receive a call from a consultant yesterday because they found a mass. You may not be aware our NHS doctors have been striking and yesterday it was the Consultants and Junior doctors who walked out so the call didn’t happen and instead of meeting me, Sheila waited for news because her daughter was trying to get someone at the hospital to talk to her. She has been told they want to take a biopsy within 2 weeks and of course the family is terribly worried. Today I drove to Plymouth for a dental check up then went into the centre of the city to a store that sells everything for the home. I bought a couple of cheerful cushions and was about to leave when torrential rain started to fall and because I had parked at the far end of the car park I thought it best to wait until it eased. The window cleaner visited this afternoon so all the smeared dirt on the upstairs windows and those in the garden room roof has gone. There are some pieces of lime mortar stuck on a bedroom window frame that I will have to try to remove from inside.
Barbie, I’m so sorry Bodhi couldn’t settle with Jake but hopefully the shelter will be able to find him a home with a single female. It’s terrible that he might have been abused before and know from experience with George still being scared of doors opening near him, that sometimes they never forget.
I don’t remember that teapot Lin!
I’m sure you will miss Bryanna Sandy but how lovely that she has found someone to love and take care of her. I’ve not heard from Anne and hope it’s because she is keeping busy. It’s a big change in her life and I worry for her and Jilly because her outlook on life is young and full of humour and a couple of “inmates” sounded a bit grumpy.
Let us know you are alright Anne.
Tomorrow morning I will visit Maddie with George and Betty as I haven’t heard any different this time. I’m going to take her an unopened jigsaw puzzle because I remember she enjoyed piecing them together and I’ve not got time since we came out of lockdown.
Take care everyone.

Hello. I finished stamping the sentiments for the inside of the Thanksgiving cards. Each panel will still need to be cut down to size. I am looking for ideas for more birthday cards. Lots of cards needed in November. I asked my handyman to help with a deck container that is huge but disintegrating with plastic pieces and burlap all over. He said the materials would have to be removed one trowel load at a time. He said I could do it. So I tackled the project this afternoon. It was messy but I did finally finish it filling several bags that were quite heavy. I did get them moved to the garage. Glad to have that finished.
Yesterday I put new license plates on my car because the handyman forgot. I think he is way over scheduled.
The neighborhood is continually buzzing with home improvement projects. Lots of vans, trucks, etc. at various houses almost every day. Is that a sure sign of winter arriving soon?
Jackie, I am glad you found some cushions. Did you say you were also looking for curtains/drapes? What a good friend, taking a gift to your friend. Jigsaw puzzles are fun but I have only completed a daily 49 piece puzzle online. My unopened puzzles will be there when I have time one again.
Sandy, I hope this financial advisor will be able to help you.
Now I am worried about Anne. Anne!! We need to hear from you.
Be safe everyone.

Hello everyone.... Delightfully I think fall is on its way. It was only 78 today though we may have a few days left of the low 80s here. I am so ready for the cooler weather. We have actually kept several windows open during the day rather than use our ac, which is a nice change. No rain here.
We made our trip down to see my sister and brother, plus spouses last Sat. The Bay Area traffic was horrendous reminding us why we rarely go that direction inspite of it being 2 hrs away. With all of the traffic it is more like 2 3/4 hrs now. People drive crazy 70 + and change lanes frequently requiring us to put on the brakes. It had been 5 yrs so a visit was past due. Only wish they would come our way, but Santa Barbara and Castro Valley are not close. Unfortunately my other brother from Redding wasn't able to make it. Nice visit and interesting to watch how much we all are aging, especially me being the eldest.
I too am concerned about Anne and hopefully we hear from her soon. It is definitely an adjustment for her since she has been independent for so long. People can be clickish and we find that also is one of those things we have found out here living in a senior community.
Barbie...Sorry that the rescue didn't work out for you. You tried and with him not being accepting of your husband I could see that being quite a problem. In time I am sure you will find another buddy for all of you.
Jackie....Goodness you have had a lot of rain. Glad to see your house projects are finally finished on the outside. So what is next ?
Lin....More cards and I am sure quite a challenge with holidays, plus birthdays coming up. Going thru some boxes of things sitting around and sorting everything is quite a job. I did a bit of that with my closet the other day. Unfortunately my husband won't let go of anything; there is no room for anything else, but his hat collection etc keeps increasing.
Sandy....Feel for you with your granddaughter leaving the state with her boyfriend. You have been such a wonderful grandmother to her and have a delightful relationship. It will definitely be an adjustment. Still am adjusting to our son, his wife and 2 granddaughters residing in Tennessee . We really miss them.
Joy...More company. Never a dull moment in your household. Enjoy them while you can.
I had to make a trip to an endodontist this week to get a retreatment done of a old root canal. So far so good. One more step in all of this dental work this summer in a month then hopefully that will be it for a while. My husband also had to have a root canal done this week. It has been an interesting and expensive summer, but lots have been accomplished. Now it is time for our life to slow down a bit.
Well it is getting late. Thinking of everyone. Stay healthy and enjoy fall as it comes to your area.

Happy Friday! Laundry has been started and the sun is shining. It's going to be a good day.
I won some bubble bath at bingo last night which I will give to Charlie since I don't take bathes. I would never get out of the tub once I got in. lol lol Tonight we are going to see Gary the one man band.
I did try and send Anne an email but it came back so I am not sure what is going on with her. I am hoping it is just that she can't get on the internet or something simple and nothing is wrong.
Diane, good to hear from you. Sorry about your dental problems, I personally hate going to the dentist but do get my teeth cleaned four times a year do to a gum problem I had. The last time I went the dentist came in and said you should really think about getting that tooth pulled. I said ok, I will let you know next year. lol Yes, Bryanna and I have a special bond so I know I am going to miss her so much.
She is always here when I need her and goes out of her way to help me in any way she can. I do want her to be happy and enjoy her own life so it is time to let go.
Lin, love the kitty teapots. Your cleaning up sounds like some of it is hard work. Please be careful. I talked to the finance guy and liked what he had to say so I made an appointment in October when I am not so busy. Wish me luck.
Jackie, Sheila has to be filled with anxiety waiting for news of her daughter. I did not hear that your medical are on strike, that has to be horrible. Our nurses go on strike for more money which they deserve but not sure i have heard of any doctors ever going on strike.
Have a great day everyone, does anyone have Anne's cell phone number to call her??

Diane,When we lived in Eureka we had to drive to the Bay Area frequently and every time we would say to each other "Please don't make me live here". Now that we are in Washington, we say the same thing when we have to drive to Seattle. Barbie 1

It’s a lot colder suddenly but dry so I won’t complain. I had an enjoyable visit with Maddie once we got there but the journey of about 5 miles was fraught with a variety of incidence so at one point I thought perhaps I shouldn’t be on the road! She is extremely creative and has had a fascinating life up to this point so there was lots to chat about, especially since it turns out the 5 books Debbie Woof Woof brought for me to read were written by her mum! It hadn’t dawned on me that the author Madeleine Orrick was her mum and she didn’t mention it! When we left I took George and Betty for a walk on the moors and was shocked just how cold the wind was and glad I had taken a warm coat!
Sandy, the only phone number I had for Anne was her home landline and 2 email messages I’ve sent are returned as either blocked or wrong address. I’m not sure Anne would know how to block people and anyway would explain to us if she wanted to drop out from the group. Years ago, Mike was interested in a subject Anne and I were discussing and I sent information to him but have a feeling it was through her email address. I’ll check back on old contacts this evening.
Cute kitty cats Lin. About 40 years ago I owned a small cat teapot with its paw in the air as a spout but it was taken to a charity shop when I was having a declutter before the current one! The search is on for curtains in my dining room because the current pair are a thin, summery set that don’t get drawn but in the Winter it will be a good idea to have thick lined curtains to make the room cosy and warm. Nearly every readymade pair is the eyelet sort and I prefer pleated so already my search is restricted and I wouldn’t want to buy without seeing them first because colours look entirely different online!
Diane, nothing else planned for my cottage just now, apart from extra roof insulation over the kitchen which was once a piggery. A few years ago I would have clambered up there but think a handyman is a safer option these days!
The pets need feeding and so do I. I shall get some early shopping tomorrow then pick up Sheila and go somewhere for coffee. The last news from her daughter is that doctors want her in immediately for a biopsy but their strikes are creating long waiting lists which to me goes against the Hippocratic Oath they sign when becoming doctors!
On that note, I wish everyone a Happy Friday.

Regarding emails to Anne, I’ve read the response carefully and found this section which mentions a third party service. Perhaps the Care Home is having internet issues or doesn’t realise it’s system blocks messages?
Check the error for information about where the problem is happening. For example, look for a domain name. The domain name will tell you which organization was responsible for the error. The recipient's email server could be causing the problem, or it could be due to a third-party service that your organization or the recipient's organization is using to process or filter email messages

Hi, laundry and birthday cards are on my agenda today. I only had Anne’s home phone number and email address. I get a message on the email attempt—user unknown. The phone number rolls immediately to unknown as well. I thought perhaps they disconnected the service at her house and maybe added her to one of the family members accounts? I cannot find any probable info for Michael, Mark or Derek. And I don’t know the name of the place where Anne lives now.
I am out of ideas.
Jackie, an interesting visit with Maddie. Keep on the hunt for heavier drapes but it is difficult to try to track down something you like within driving distance to take a look. Doctors may have taken an oath to do no harm but they are first and foremost government employees. Although we have nurses and others who go on strike or walkouts here as well. Quite a mess and sorry Sheila’s daughter is caught in the hubbub. I’m hope you enjoy coffee with Sheila tomorrow.
Sandy, happy laundry day to you. I hope you have a good day.
Diane, I am glad you got together with some of your family. Sorry it couldn’t have been everyone. Meanwhile, oh my gosh, dental work! A friend of mine needed a crown and got an appointment to get started on it and got a surprise. She only needed one appointment. She went in, they shaped things and made a mold and then made the crown in-house while she waited. They fitted it and off she went….all done! Sounds like science fiction to me.
Barbie, have a good weekend and I hope Jake is feeling well now. ❤️🤞🏻❤️

Hi girls, I’m here!!! I can’t believe how the time flies in this home! Actually I haven’t a great deal to comment on either. The problem with the email is I’m still not set up. I’m not set up with much at all. No TV etc and it’s all because everyone is so busy renovating my old home, or picking apples off my old tree, or digging up the spuds I planted last spring, or arriving with tomatoes also planted last spring. I’m not being neglected here in the home of us oldies, it’s just everyone has different priorities to me! So they pop in and see me and Jilly regularly but don’t do the things I’d like them to do. For instance bring two pieces of furniture I’m really missing etc. I’m not complaining just waiting SORT of patiently. On the plus side me and the Bean spend quite a bit of time in the park next door because the weather is just beautiful right now. No humidity, but warm enough to walk without a coat. I’ve met Caroline from Calgary who loves to walk as well and we are contemplating joining the walking group but not if it means tagging along behind all the folk pushing walkers!
The transition from a house to an independent living place is not easy although some long term ladies say before long this apartment will be home. We are getting there! Despite the nasty woman still being nasty with my little wee one who is a great hit with everyone else. Management say ignore her which I’m doing and my lovely cleaning lady Fatima says she loves Jilly and me, and brings me a candy most days. So, I’m getting used to people of varying levels of empathy, or you could say even the nutty ones. Fortunately not many, most people here are really nice. I found out today how the nasty one makes Jilly bark when I’m not around so she barks. Funny really, but I’ll let you all know what she does another day if you show interest. Wow, I’ve whittled on long enough.
So my lovely sneakers in conclusion the move on the whole is quite enjoyable. You just have to give it time and especially if you have a happy, friendly, tail wagging little dog who has to adjust as well. Promise I’ll write more regularly.
