Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! I need to get to the vet for more disposable syringes with needles, as I used the last one for Lilo's shot this morning. While there, I need to empty the container I have been putting all the used needles in, as it's nearly full. They can dump them all into their Sharps container for proper disposal and I can start refilling it next Tuesday. Lilo is in my lap now.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! We are going to see a movie tonight, as a pre-release showing. I do hope to get a nap in at some point.

Hi Ed! I think I may have been MIA? yesterday? I don't see a post, but then your post with the pix of Dinah keeping you safe is the first post on my machine...so maybe I posted on the prior page...as if that's important!
Got a different flea spray stuff for Tom E. Highly recommended by Pet Smart Peeps...it took both Ted and I to hold him and spray him! It was a fight. But, happy to say he didn't attempt to bite us! (he has in past years been quite a biter. Even as a young kitten. Eventually in the last year or so, his biting morphed into holding my finger, etc in his mouth, and looking at me...Like I 'could' do this ya know!!!
He is curled up in his new furry bed sleeping. Glad he's decided to use it. I must remember to offer to pay Ted for it. Maya wouldn't use it... but if I know Ted, he paid big bucks for it. Like I said 'offer'.....
I WILL to to the gym today, rain or not. I am only 3 miles from completing this months challenge (Apple Watch), and figure after already going 88 miles, I can make the other 3.1 to complete it. OR, I could do less and then I'd need to go to the gym today and tomorrow!! Nope! Git 'er done....right?
I just realized the post I read from you, was yesterday's post! Maybe I should just chill and drink my coffee before I go any farther............
Wednesday....October 30, so say the calendar.0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! Happy Halloween! Temperatures are rapidly dropping today from a high of 71 (now) to a low of 27 or so early tomorrow morning! As soon as I finish my tea, and feed the cats, I will be working on making some space in the garage to bring in plants, and then on the actual bringing in of said plants.

Yesterday, I posted the video celebrating Grandpa's life and final journey. There is another YouTube channel that is somewhat similar to Grandpa Kitchen, called Village Food Factory. It may even be an older channel, and may have inspired Grandpa Kitchen. I understand that the creators of Village Food Factory do, in fact, make a living off their channel, but also seem to do a lot of charitable work with the excess. I don't know if Grandpa Kitchen and his family made anything for themselves, other than sharing in the meals themselves, but would certainly not hold it against them if they did. I think producing the videos is probably nearly a full time job in itself, not to mention shopping for the birthday and Christmas gifts, and school supplies, and organizing all that stuff for the orphans.
So...here are some videos from Village Food Factory. I do hope that, after a brief period of mourning, we will continue to see new Grandpa Kitchen videos.

Good Morning Ed
I did not see the video of Grandpa Kitchens until this morning. So sad. He will surely be missed, and as time goes on will be a legend in story telling. I know that those children will remember him, and tell their children stories about Grandpa K to their kids.

Sometime today, Ted and I are going battle again with the flea problem. We have ordered a borax product that Ted says he and Jack used at their house. Sounds like a lot of work, but if it does what Ted says it will do...it will be worth it.
Tom E. continues to use his repurposed dog bed. (Thanks Maya!)..I think I may have helped...I put his catnip sock in the bed.
Can't believe we're going from 71 degrees to Freeze in the next 24 hours. Was the pix of a snowman eating a kid something I stole from Mike's pix? one of your posts? or some other source...like fb? If you haven't seen it, I'll email it to you....is funny! and would make kids think twice before coming into your yard....LOL!!
Well, maybe I'll just drop the pix with this post...would be easier.
Ok, I need to get going towards today's project. Lotza furniture to move, Ted's going to do the hard work, of sweeping the borax into the carpet....I'm going to wear a mask...I have one for Ted...we'll see if he uses it.

I am feeling every one of my 60 years tonight. With the sudden COLD front coming through, I spent most of the morning and part of the afternoon getting the garage ready for plants and then we spent the rest of the afternoon actually getting the plants into the garage.
I feel good about getting it done but not so happy about having to get it done so quickly. I am icing my back now, for the second time today, and may not be able to move tomorrow, but it's DONE.

We were ready, but not one person came to call.
Fortunately, these are very small candy bars. One or two of the Snicker bars would be just right for a bout of low blood sugar, or when wanting a sweet, but just a bite.

Howdy all y'all. It's frigid Friday! 34 out there now, with a high of only 57 expected. The heater is running now, as it finally got cold enough in the house for it to kick on. Other than being cold, it sounds like a nice day. I may get out to install a small willow tree, in memory of Bonnie. With all the rain we had, the soil should be easy to dig. We'll see if it's dry enough for that later in the day. And whether I feel limber enough to do it!

Hey Ed!
Sorry I'm so late today. Busy around here...but making progress.
I want to watch the video about the kids...assuming maybe a tribute to Grandpa? or maybe a very early video of him and the kids?
Leaves are falling from my big maple tree. Pretty gold, and red, and orange. Ted raked and blew them today. Tree still 95% full. (he'll get over this..right now its pretty 'novel' for him!)
Had two trick or treaters last night. Sad. But weather being as it was, not surprising. But it was disappointing.
That's about it for now....watching a hockey game with Ted tonite. This is the first period time out...second period starts shortly...I need to get a glass of water...
Later...

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! 36 now with an expected high of 58 and no chance of precipitation. I may get out for a few things today.

I got out for groceries and mulch, and we finally laid poor little Bonnie to rest, planting a black willow seedling to mark the spot. I am sure Clyde would much rather he still had Bonnie as a companion, rather than Remus as they are not yet really friendly, but are at least somewhat tolerating the existence of the other.

Hey Ed!
I've started this several times....never got even the first thing typed before I'd be interrupted.! There are days like this!
I did make it to the gym, and Publix...and got my laundry done..and folded, and put away! So, my dear friend Laundry will have to wait for me another day! LOL.
I've been looking at, so far not watched Grandpa video's...ok, I did watch one from several days ago...he was cooking chicken hearts! I don't know how his turned out, but Mom used to cook the liver, gizzard, and heart along with the rest of the chicken...fried, of course. Those pieces never made it to the kitchen table....I ate them hot from the skillet! My one thought, Grandpa looked old, even before he really was, I think.
Hope your trip out today was pleasant. I did laundry first, and even napped...waited for the 'high temp' of the day before I went out!!!
I bought the winning lottery ticket for tonite.... just so you know, OK?

That's not Grandpa. It's Daddy from another village who does similar work. The do have some resemblance though, don't they?

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! Pretty cold out there now and only expecting to see 59 today, with no chance of precipitation. There is something I was thinking I needed to add to the shopping list, but darned if I can think what it is/was! I thought of it while making breakfast so maybe I will remember if I run through all my breakfast activity in my head.
I successfully "fell back" on the time and feel pretty decent. I did stay up extra late last night and did not get any nap yesterday, so was able to successfully sleep until about quarter past seven this morning. I have been feeding the cats "late" for about a week to get them pre-adjusted to the time change, but I think they will still need another week or so to really get used to it.
If I ever remember what I needed to add to the list, I might even remember next time to add it to the list. I have my phone nearby most of the time so there really is no excuse (other than being 60 years old?) to not put things in right away.

I have no earthly idea what this tuber is that they call the "veg goat leg" though I did find the name at least via an internet search. It is called aatukaal kizlangu. Maybe we can find it at the Farmers' Market? Here, before the video, I also found a recipe for soup, completely vegetarian. Might be fun to try.
Aatukaal kizlangu/ Goat Leg Tuber Soup( Herbal Soup)
It's 100% vegetarian soup. Made of Aatukaal kizlangu( is in dark brown color and hairy looks very much like lamb leg) is fiery and soothing all at once. Really makes wonder!the aches and pains vanished . I came to know this kizlangu is found in the mountain rocks at hills like Kodaikanal, Ooty, Kollimalai and Yercaud.
I tasted it during my recent trip to yercaud at a hill top from a petty shop . Sip of this hot soup in that place was really a wow movement. After tasting it I felt very soothing and gulped 2-3 glasses quietly. Finally got the recipie from that old lady Palani Ammal, selling fruits and this Aatukaal kizlangu soup.
I really want to thank her in loads for this wonderful recipie. I love u old lady for helping me to add 1 more authentic recepie to my page.
Ingredients:
Aatu Kaal kizlangu- 1/ 4 piece
Oil- 1 tsp
Shallots - 10 (Peeled)
Tomato - 1 small one (chopped into bigger pieces or chunks)
Garlic pods - 10 (Peeled)
Coriander leaves - Few
Curry leaves- Few
Peppercorns - 1/2 tablespoon
Cumin seeds - 1/2 tablespoon
Red chillies- 4
Turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Pepper powder - As required
Salt - As per taste
Water - 4 cups
Preparation Method:
Remove the skin and chop the kizlangu, it's that much easy to do.
Grind all the above ingredients (except turmeric powder,tomato & kilangu).
Heat a saucepan add 1 tsp oil and add the ground paste into it and Stir fry 2-3 min.
After that add tomatoe, turmeric and kilangu and fry 2 more minutes and pour required amount of water and salt, garnish with curry leaves and coriander leaves to it and close with lid.
Cook on low flame upto 30 minutes and remove from flame.
Add salt and pepper as per taste. Garnish with coriander leaves if you wish.
Serve & enjoy the hot and spicy herbal soup.

Good weird morning Ed!
I hate time changing. I'd vote for either standard or daylight time...just as long as it was permanent!
You're only 60...wait til you're 76.5 and counting!!! LOL! Write it down or walk the isles of the grocery (which can become expensive), I keep lists for Costco, Publix and Kroger. I start a new one for Aldi or Walmart if I need to go there. I do keep a pretty expansive pantry so mostly its a matter of what do I have fresh, or maybe frozen.
Today at 3:15 is the last LaCross game for Nate this season! It will be the warmest part of the day, (which by my standards is not that darned warm!! ) I go to his home games mostly to visit with Jack and Jenn, and give the little guy a hug and tell him he played a great game. How do I know it was a great game? I lived thru it, and can then go home! Really do not care for the game one whit!! (and the little guy...is soon to be 14 or 15, so not so little anymore!)
Loved the photo's of you new botanical garden! LOL...I've seen that at my house some years. I did not bring anything in yet...I may remember to clip some basil to freeze part of them, and root a few starts in the window with the orchids. OR...mother nature may get them.
Tell J I said nice bike!!! Impressive! I don't drive or ride anymore. 5 years making night time runs to the ER when I worked in the lab cured me of motorcycles. I didn't forbid my teenagers of much, but I did strongly mention not to ever let me know if they'd been on a bike! LOL!!
OK time marches on, and I have a thing or two to do yet this morning. Hope you have a good day, and thanks for the 'veg goat leg pix and recipe'. I'll run right out to get one!! LOL!!! UGLY THING! YIKES. Who would have ever thought to eat it????

It's not just a picture. It's a video of "Daddy" cooking a bunch of that "veg goat leg" into a soup. I haven't done a compare to see if it's the same recipe.

A little over a month after her passing, we finally laid Bonnie to rest yesterday, with a surviving remnant of the black willow that the sidewalk contractors destroyed, as a marker for a sweet pet.
Clyde and Mr. Remus Crabbypants are still getting to know each other. They may NEVER live in the same space, but at least they can see, smell, and chatter at each other and bump noses if they really want to.

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Another chilly morning but with an expected high of 60 and no chance of precipitation. Not a lot on the agenda today other than a nap! I woke up about an hour early today. Fancy that! LOL. I hate changing the time and wish we could just leave it alone.
I did eventually remember the item for the shopping list and added it.

Hi Ed,
I'm waking early too, but I don't let that stop me from getting right back to sleep for that 'extra' hour.
Ted and I went to Costco bright and early this morning. Roger would have counted our trip a total 'fail'. We poked around and hunted for this and that...so that it was crowded by the time we left! I also bought 2 extra items...Ted found some apple pastry things, and when we checked out, they were 2-fers. So he had to go back and get another package of them..cherry this time. Not bad enough there is still Boo Candy now pastry too! LOL!
At least I didn't buy any junk food. Then I hit the gym, and on to Walmart for cheaper than supermarket cat food. 70 cents at Publix is 59 cents at Walmart, same Friskies...oh well. I get a bunch when I go, so its only every 3 weeks or so..
Dog and cat are not sleeping together, but fairly nearby...maybe you two sugar babies and our two animals will someday learn to get along together!?!
I'm heading for a nap, and then about 4, when its warmest out, I'm cutting the huge monster size Miss Huff Lantana back to the ground. I think I got one on some kind of weird steroids that don't wear off. Every year I cut it back to the ground...and every year I think I've finally killed it...only for it to pop up and start growing like a crazed plant a couple weeks after most every other thing has sprouted or bloomed.
Need to go back and watch some video's after dinner.
Oh, Nate's LaCross game was a great game, we were sitting in the sun, and it was nicely toasty! Enjoyed the game. (because it was the last one of the season maybe???)
Ok, nap time...0 -
NEW EMAIL SCAM GOING AROUND! DON'T FALL FOR IT!
This morning I received an ALMOST believable email purporting to be from PayPal, regarding a supposed issue with my account.
First, the FROM address is very odd. Really? Service@mail.paypal.com <service-center7257211@judi.business>?
Second, it wasn't apparently addressed to me, but to reminder@mail.paypal.com. That is a highly unlikely address for PayPal to send an email to, as PayPal ALWAYS addresses me by name, when emailing me, and would not be sending email for me addressed to a mailing list type email address.
Third, the body of the email starts with "Dear Customer" and my name is not Customer. PayPal would never address me as "Customer" in an email and ask me, in that email, to click on a link to log in to PayPal, particularly a link that would route me to a redirect link, not to PayPal at all.
It looked something like this, including all the odd typos, but this time there were no egregious grammatical errors:
Service@mail.paypal.com <service-center7257211@judi.business>
Reminder: Something went wrong on November 04, 2019 [PPC-002-147-831]
To: reminder@mail.paypal.com
Dear Customer .
Remember , you still need to take action to restore your PayPal account. Until you do, your access is limited.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! I do need to get out today for cat food and some other groceries. On a short walk yesterday, I noticed that a couple of the neighbors were enjoying a late picnic lunch of squirrel tartare.
If you think they are dining like a couple of vultures...well, they ARE but I don't think we can hold that against them, since they are, in fact, a couple of vultures. LOL.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! It should be a pleasant day, as far as temperature, but I see 90% chance of precipitation too. I don't have to go anywhere today, and we need the rain, so I hope we get it. Maybe the cats will let me nap today. Yesterday, they let me nap for nearly an hour and decided that was enough, though I had hoped for a bit longer. LOL.

Good Morning Ed
Yes, overcast today, rain later in the afternoon....enjoy that nap!!
Will watch Grandpa's kids later, right now its shower time...then gym, and home??? no errands? what an odd day!
Just wanted to say a quick hello!
I roasted a big pan of vegetables yesterday for dinner! MMMMM! (and Ted the vegetarian wouldn't even taste them... how you can be a vegetarian, and not eat veggies is beyond me!) In all fairness he did fix cauliflower fried rice on Sunday, and said he'd repeat that again soon with a few more peas and carrots. Its a start?)
Saw a possum in the back yard last night.......can't say that made me particularly happy. Oh, and the raccoons struck a couple days ago...during the day no less. Turned over Tom E.'s straw nest, drug his furry big bed off of the wrought iron chair, and over to the cat access holes in the screen porch. But since those holes are about 3 feet up, I still have the furry bed! They did some other things like overturning a trash container, knocking over the groom, etc. Dratted raccoons!

Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday! We did get a decent amount of rain yesterday and overnight. Today is supposed to be cool, with no chance of precipitation. My local bank was recently devoured by another bank, and I think I have worked out all the kinks following the transition. I have scheduled my last test of that for overnight tonight, but anticipate no problem with it.
I might get out to Kroger today for a few things, and may pick up lunch if so, while out. And I need to get some of Mike's tomato gravy with pork started in a slow cooker! I think it would go nicely over a small serving of pasta.
And, of course, I need to feed these POOR, STARVING CATS that are clearly not exactly wasting away but you can't convince them of that. LOL.

Hi Ed,
home from the gym, and eating the last of the roasted veggies and a decent sized salad with raisons, green olives, tomatoes, red onion, oh, and romaine lettuce! And FF 'Skinny Girl' Poppy Seed dressing. All Good!!
Only a couple of things on my list today, starting with a nap!
No particular news...thinking of Mike. It will be a long day for him.
