Hi
It is 48 degrees this morning a change to the warmer from yesterdays temperature. I went walking today for 5149 steps. As I was walking I felt well enough to a little further than I had originally planned to go which was a Boomerang visit for Coffee and back home.
Forecast today for the Upper 60s, warmer tomorrow, parts of NJ had a frost warning for the overnight Friday into Saturday morning. I did not see any frost Saturday morning, however it must have been cold enough to kill off the Zucchini plants as they looked wilted Saturday Morning.
Have a Great Sunday

Hi Vix
I'm glad You had fun and did not overdo it, I tend towards doing that.
I had hoped to see Paris sooner or later, however after seeing this news article

Oh well, the world will change whether we want it to or not.

Woman Vacuuming Gasoline Out Of Trunk Sparks Explosion
http://1079ishot.com/woman-vacuuming-gasoline-out-of-trunk-sparks-explosion-video/A woman thought that it would be a great idea to just vacuum the gasoline out of her truck. Well, it turned out to be a TERRIBLE idea.
The woman is seen in surveillance video vacuuming the gasoline out of her trunk, but what she did not take into consideration was what could happen as a result of. An explosion.
The vacuum at the car wash was destroyed and will cost $500 to repair. Luckily, no one was injured here.
Let’s just hope this young lady learned a lesson her and NEVER decides to vacuum gasoline out of anything again.

Good afternoon;
It is a beautiful day. I spent the morning running errands, getting a flu shot and then came home and baked an apple pie. I am now getting ready to go for a walk.
Irene-I think you are doing great recovering from knee surgery.
Roger-I don't think I want to visit Paris after seeing that clip. I wonder how that ladies trunk got gas in it?
Vix-How was the air show and the ships? You had a great day for it.

Hi all
We didn't wait on line to see the ships,but we saw them from a distance. The lines were really long and barely moving. The air show was great. And the weather was perfect.
Glad everyone is starting to feel better.
Went swimming this a.m. and relaxing now. I didn't sleep well, so taking it slow today. Beautiful weather again today.
Hope everyone has a chance to enjoy it. 0 -

It's going to be warm out!

That is good news, the 80% did the Sue say how much longer?
I never got sick from Flu shots, I did was sore where they did it however. Even at free I am not sure I see a need.
Good Luck with Your Knee and Enjoy Walking Annie

Hi Joanne
I wanted to see Paris and London and Rome, however with the way things are going with the refugees I don't think so anymore. There is plenty to see here in the US. Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower and the Coliseum will have to do with out me.
If I had to guess, Spillage for filling or a gas can being transported in the trunk that fell over, Just a guess however.
As for Apple Pie, these days I find that I am having a mild craving for Caramel Apple Pie with a Crumb topping, No calories there I am sure
My problem with commercial made apple pies is so many of them the Apples are crunchy. I think I got to liking Soft apple fillings from my Grandmothers homemade where she used apples that she had canned which involves cooking them nicely.
Have a Nice Day

Hi Vix
I actually turned on the Living Room AC for a hour to cool it off last night. I suspect that today as it is supposed to be even warmer my Brother is somewhat sorry he pulled the AC from his window and stored it away after a thorough cleaning involving a partial dismantling where he said it really needed to be done too.
Barely moving lines are not good.
Hopefully not to warm today and tomorrow, However I did turn off the switch to the furnace just in case it wanted to run from the lower overnight temperatures. I wanted the house to cool off nicely.
I hope the swimming was enjoyable and that You have a good time at clay today.
I'm sorry Your sleep was poorly. Good Luck Tonight

good morning, George is home sick in bed I think it is the flu,so I took Annie for her morning walk we got in 5000 steps a little sore now she likes to pull in the morning actually I think it is me because I walk so slow now oh well ice always helps my knee. The weather here is warm when we walked this morning I walked in shorts and short shelve tee shirt . I always wanted to travel to Paris but not so much any more too many crazy people, Rome would be nice but for now the US sounds good. I did sleep with the ac on last night but the middle of the night I shut it off it got cold. Stay cool today .0

Good afternoon;
We had rain early this morning, and it was overcast. The sun is shining now.
Vix-I hope you get a better nights sleep tonight.
Irene-I hope George feels better soon.
Roger-I don't like store bought apple pie for the same reason, apples too hard.
I am going to the dentist to have my teeth cleaned this afternoon. The dentist cancelled the appt. I had before I went on vacation. When I got back I called and the earliest appt. they could give me was in March 2017. Luckily they had a cancellation and I get to go sooner.
I hope you all are enjoying this nice weather.0 -

So far so good, No heat or AC running
I actually wore a light sweat shirt this morning and was OK in it. OTOH I started out around 6:20 well before the sun started warming things up.
I hope George gets well quickly, being sick is no fun.
FWIW I never walk that fast.
Have a Nice Day

Hi Joanne
I would sort of like to see some rain, we are running in a level of drought here. Not severe to where they are doing restrictions of course.
I though maybe it was just me with the apple pies
Congratulations on getting in after a cancellation, I know You will be happier.
Yes I am enjoying the weather, Cheers
Roger0 -
My mother made apple pies (and lemon merangue pies)...the closest I could get to her crust was vanilla cookie dough, but the apples were definitely soft and sweet. I miss having desserts!
Irene, hope George is feeling better.
Jo, good that there was a cancellation.
Roger, glad your knee is doing better and you're enjoying the warm weather.
I went to Rome when I was young (about 20). Have never been to Paris or London. I think they would be interesting, but the world seems to be more homogenous now, we see so much on the media. (And I really don't like traveling all that much anymore...used to love it!)0 -
Hi Vix
I used to like to travel too. Mostly by Car and some such as California By Jet.
It would be nice sometimes to have the old recipes, In my case my Grandmothers Baking was delicious. Sadly I am pretty sure they are lost.
If You ever decide to make an Apple Pie make Your own apples, the Canned Pie fillings are not that good.
The world is not what it was, that is for sure.
Here are the Theme songs form a couple of British Comedies that ran for years that I enjoy watching.

Hi all.
I've made apple pie a few times...I always used fresh apples. I rarely buy canned food other than beans, occasionally tomatoes.
Last of the summer wine music is very soothing, the other one funny. I love music from that era.
Hot here today. Went to body flow class this morning and had my house cleaned. I have an appointment for accupuncture this afternoon. Should be interesting....something new for me.
Enjoy your day.0 -
Good afternoon;
I always use fresh apples when I make pies.
Roger-After my mom passed, I inherited all her recipes. I gathered everyone's favorites and made a cookbook for all my sisters and nieces for Christmas one year. It has a picture of my Mom oee

Hi Vix
You can find some of the episodes on YouTube if You are Interested, Last of the Summer Wine used the same theme with some minor variations for the entire 31st series or what we would call seasons. However the British series run a lot fewer episodes each year.
I used this link and You just need to look for ones that run around 29 minutes or longer, Some of the Christmas Specials ran over an hour.
https://www.google.com/search?q=last+of+the+summer+wine&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=last+of+the+summer+wine+youtube&tbm=vid
And this link found a lot of Dads Army episodes, look for the same type of lengths
https://www.google.com/search?q=last+of+the+summer+wine&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#tbm=vid&q=Dads+army+Youtube
Dads Army as a FYI Ran 80 episodes over 9 Series and a Feature Film.
I originally watched both of them Via PBS stations in the area.
I have no problem with canned food as such, just a lot of it is high in sodium
That is the best way to do apple pie from fresh.
I'll be interested in hearing how the appointment for acupuncture went and how much it helped.
Have a Nice Day

Hi Joanne
That was a Nice thing to do for Your Family and as a remembrance of Your mother.
The hardest part of using fresh apples is finding what type You prefer, at least in my case
Enjoy the Day

For the most part I like Macintosh apples in my pies. They are a little tarter than other apples and cook up nice and soft. This last pie I made I used honey crisp apples that we picked ourselves.
Vix-good luck with the acupuncture. My mom also made lemon meringue pie.
My last post should have said that the cookbook has a picture of my mom on the cover.
I have been having some trouble with my computer freezing while I am typing. It seems to only happen on the MFP site.
Hi Irene
Enjoy your evening.

Jo, that was nice of you to make the cookbook and copies for your family. What a wonderful gift.
Roger, Last of the Summer Wine is still shown on PBS here. I've never seen the other show. Thanks for the URLs.
The acupuncture was interesting. She said it may take 4-6 weeks or longer before I feel any improvement (I have a lot of issues going on), but I actually feel a little more relaxed tonight than usual, so that's good. We also went over some dietary recommendations...pretty much what I was doing, but have slipped out of, so back to more restrictions. She also said that I'd be better off with cooked vegetables instead of raw (salads). So that's new. I think this may actually help. I'm happy to be finding practitioners that aren't recommending drugs. My experiment continues. I am hopeful.
Irene, hope you continue to feel better, hope George is over his virus/flu.
Have a good night, everyone. 0 -
Hi

I'll bet the Honey Crisp Apples were delicious in the pie. I have been having one a day with my lunch as a SC. The last ones were a little Tart, the current ones I picked up are huge and sweeter too.
I wondered about the last post TBH

Hi Vix
Thanks for the information.
That is interesting that it was recommended to eat cooked Vegetables and not Salads. I have a suspicion that part of the No Salad thing is that most people eat them doused with Salad Dressing and many of those have a lot of junk in them. I bet it is nice being more relaxed.
I broke down and ordered a Kindle when it was on sale for $50. It came and I set it up yesterday and added a bunch of free titles, including the First Harry Potter Book.
I had some trouble with it not turning on and had to do the full reset to get to the setting it up screen. Then it was fine all day. This morning once again I would hit the power button and the green light would flash on and off and it did not power on again. Holding the power button until the green light flashed and then releasing it brought up a screen with the options of reset, cancel etc. And it was OK again.
I will be on the email to support later on as it appears that it is defective. I am sure this is not normal operation for a new device
Good Luck with Your Experiment
Roger0 -
good morning, Vix that is great that you are feeling a little better. George is still sick so he is staying home again today ,he has been sleeping a lot so that helps. I was getting so hungry reading all about the apples and apple pies I don't bake if I did I would eat the whole thing.Roger I love my kindle I always have something to read hope you get to enjoy it also.0
-
Hi Irene
Overall I prefer Books on paper, however I have run across a few that I only saw Kindle editions so when I saw they had it pretty cheap with free shipping I bought one. Just my luck that I seem to have gotten a bad one
Wish me Luck, I fired off a email about the problem and am charging it again, before I contact them as I had a reply that indicates I either need to call or Chat online to resolve the problem. I just tried turning it on a minute ago and the green power light just flashes on and off again as it was this morning. To me this indicates a continuing problem and not a fluke.
I have had a decent Caramel Apple Pie from a Bakery in the past. The problem is if I bought it I would likely eat the entire thing in a couple of days
I hope George gets better quickly
Roger0 -
Hi all.
Sorry about the kindle lemon, Roger....hopefully you will get it sorted out quickly. I have an old Nook. I still prefer paper books, but it's good for traveling or if find myself without a book to read.
Irene, hope George is doing better today. I don't keep baked goods around either, because I too would eat the whole thing!
Hi Jo!
Went to painting class today....I have a lot of work/practice to do. It's still warm here today, high 70s, but supposed to start cooling off tomorrow. Where we're going in the mountains may have snow showers on Saturday! Brrrrrrr.
Enjoy your day.0 -
Hi Vix
I am sure if it is proven defective that they will replace it. I am going to test for a couple of more days just in case it is user error
Nook, is that Barnes and Noble?
Today is not that bad outside IMO, So far no rain either which I am unsure if that is a goof thing or a bad thing.
Have a Good Evening
Roger0 -
Good evening;
I have a kindle,but haven't used it in a while. I also like to turn the pages of a book, old habits die hard.
Irene-I hope George feels better soon.
Vix-enjoy your time in the mountains. I hope you have decent weather.
It was another nice day. One more day of work for me and I am on vacation again. This time I am staying home and doing fall cleaning.
Have a nice evening.
