I already stripped the bed and washed all the sheets getting rid of all the germs or at least trying. Nothing really planned for today but do some light house work take care0

Good morning;
Today I am actually taking a day off from cleaning. I only have the breezeway and upstairs bathroom left to do. I am going shopping for a new dress. My nephew is getting married in Nov. Tonight I am going to Rise of the Jack O'Lanterns at the Boston Seaport and World Trade Center with my daughter. I am picking her up from work and we are going out to eat at Rosa Mexicana. I get a free meal for my birthday. It should be a fun night. I will try and post a few pictures tomorrow.
Enjoy your day.0 -
Hi
It is showing 46 degrees this morning and it was cloudy starting out, Then that turned into a drizzle followed by a light rain on the way back. OTOH there was a touch of snow in a news broadcast from up North o where I am so it could be worse, Probably not so good for the morning commute up that way. I walked today for 7,714 steps. The forecast high for today is in the 50s
The chance of the first snow of the season in the northwest corner of the state forecast for today appears to have come true.
I should mention that the Dining Room table is 1/2 covered with Drying Sweet Potatoes from the garden, some of which got a little large at almost 2 pounds each. The last of the tomatoes are sitting there, Mainly green right now so I am hoping they turn ripe. Not much else to do with Cherry tomatoes that are green I suspect.
Have a Great Thursday

Hi Irene
That sounds like good news, Yea!
Don't remind me, It is time for me to wash the bedding too
Enjoy the day

P.S. Did You get out walking before the rain today?Joanne3366 wrote: »Good morning;

Hi Joanne
Do Breezeways really need cleaning? I thought they were a roofed in area open at the ends to the outside.
I should look into a free Birthday meal as mine is coming up in a little while. After all, why not, free is a good price. OTOH I might feel guilty eating a free meal somewhere I don't patronize. Unless a part of the reason for it is to try and attract new customers after they sample the cuisine, Decisions, Decisions
That is a new one to me, the Rise of the Jack O'Lanterns.
Happy Birthday, Enjoy Your day off from housework

Hi Irene
I dread having to get down and kneel while scrubbing the kitchen floor, You are a better person for doing that than I.
Other than a little sore, how is the knee doing now?IreneMurman wrote: »good morning, Vix your chicken and veggies sound good how did you make them?

That reminds me, I need to squirt the Toilet Bowl cleaner into it so I can clean it.
I suspect that You are feeling a combination of both.
We had more of a drizzle here, from the Thursday weather radar it appeared that the Rain was both north and south of us where I am in NJ. That seems to happen fairly often too.
Have a Nice Day

Congratulations on staying busy and having a new painting hanging.
Good News regarding the skin check too.
Enjoy the Day

Good morning
Cool pictures, Jo, looks like you had a fun night.
Irene, probably the scrubbing....I don't do that anymore. But, a clean house is wonderful.
Hi Roger. I'm with you, I stopped that long ago, except for the corners.
Went to zumba this morning and have my massage today instead of last Monday. That'll be nice.
Cool, sunny day here, pretty.
Enjoy.0 -
Hi Vix
I have to agree a clean house is nice too.
Today looks so much better than yesterday, like night & day
Enjoy You Zumba & Massage today

Good morning;
Roger-My breezeway is enclosed and heated. I have my washer, dryer, trash compactor and cat box out there.
We did have fun at the Jack O Lantern festival. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the ride home. I don't usually drive at night and it was also raining.
Vix-Good news on the skin check.0 -

Hi Joanne
It would have to be heated with the washer out there
How do You like the trash Compactor?
I had thought about getting one and then had second thoughts, why bother when You can get by with one trash bag per garbage pickup cycle as is.
I was never all that happy driving at night in the rain either and I drove for a living
Have a Nice Saturday

Good morning, Roger for the cleaning I used a mop I can't get down on my knees yet so I just scrubbed using a mop and I have to say it does look good. Jo I don't drive at night I try and stay home not good at driving at night. Vix how does your picture look hanging? Glad everything checked out good at the skin dr. Woke up all stuffed up again so I made sure I took my vitamin c .0

Good morning.
Roger...haha...love it, hi-deaf! I'm there.
Jo, I don't like driving at night in the rain either. It's good having the washer/dryer on the first floor. I always thought it would be nice to have a breezeway between the garage and the house. Keep it more separate.
Irene, I'm with you on the cleaning. Hope the vitamin C helps. The picture looks pretty good now that I framed and hung it.
It's sunny and supposed to warm up today. We're going out to a farm-to-table restaurant tonight, it's supposed to be really good. Should be fun.
Have a great day.

Hi
It is showing 60 degrees this morning quite a bit warmer than yesterday for the same time, I walked today for 8,871 steps. The forecast high for today is in the 60s. No sunshine yet either.
Yesterday while walking I had a Deer running around on the street ahead of me for part of my walk. It would run ahead, freeze in place until I got to close and run again Then a little further on I saw the Blue Heron standing motionless in the brook waiting for it's breakfast to swim past.
Have a Great Sunday

Hi Irene
I'm sorry that You are feeling poorly again, I take a Vitamin C, A Multi-Vitamin and a Combo Calcium, Zinc, Magnesium Before dinner every night. I previously took them in the morning with Breakfast, Then I decided to try them in the evening so that they would be closer to when I went walking in the morning
I do not really see much difference either way FWIW.
I was thinking about scrubbing the floor and then decided to heck with it. I am taking some of it out each day currently so as to get down to the sub-floor for two reasons. One is to be able to screw the sub-floor down better to remove the squeaks and we decided we wanted a light floor to brighten the kitchen up instead of the dark browns installed currently. Undecided as to Tile or prefinished hardwood which would be easier to install. Or one of the tiles that looks like wood.
Have a Nice Day

I'm so tired of he said, she said.....
Our washer is sort of on the first floor, Actually it is a part of the house that is a two steps down off of the Dining Room that has a door to the back yard in it. It can be used as a ersatz cold room in the winter as it is the coolest room in the house
I hope You had a nice meal. I agree I went out walking to the store for produce yesterday and I was overdressed it was so warm. I suspect I should have gone back inside and changed to lighter instead of continuing on.
Have a Nice Day

Good morning!
Roger, in my experience a pergo type floor is the easiest to maintain. We had a light color as the last kitchen floor in my old house (after trying many other types of flooring). I have wood floors in my new house...the new wood is not too bad to take care of, but the pergo is tougher.
Supposed to get really warm out today. Enjoy! 0 -
Hi Vix
From what I have seen on home improvement type shows the better prefinished floors have a really tough surface. The downside of any of them or laminates is they need to be replaced as they can not be resurfaced.
Today started out warmer and is supposed to be warmer here too
Enjoy the day

hi all , went for a nice walk about 3 miles so far my knee is good went real slow so maybe that is the answer.The weather is nice today0
-
Roger, we got Pergo XP in our basement here and I think it had a lifetime warranty, ah here it is "Lifetime limited residential, 10-year limited light commercial warranty against wear, staining and fading "...anyway, we figured it would probably outlast us. Home Depot had a sale on the flooring and included a sale on installation. But you're right...they can't be resurfaced. Floors are hard to choose because you will have to live with it for a long time and they are expensive, so my advice is to get something you really like. 0

Hi Irene
I am happy that Your knee is good after 3 miles, Yea!

Have a Nice Evening

Hi Vix
Thank You for that information, much appreciated.
There is one of the questions we need to decide, do it ourselves or have it done. A Tough Decision.
That is one reason we are not rushing into it a purchase. We plan to live with it for many, many years
Have a Good Evening

Good evening;
It was a lot warmer today than yesterday. We went to the Harvard natural history museum and the Peabody museum at Harvard University, then came home to watch the football game.
Irene-I think going slowly is the key to keeping your knee from hurting.
Vix-Did you enjoy the restaurant?
Roger-we have a lamanite floor in our kitchen and if you drop anything on it it makes litttle dings

Hi all...
Jo...hmmmm....my laminate floor didn't do that. Guess we lucked out with the one we bought.
The restaurant was nice. In an odd place in Baltimore, but it was big and busy. The food was all relatively local, so very fresh. I had baked trout from PA. Hubs had a MD steak. They even made the drinks from local distilleries, wineries, breweries and farms. Interesting.
Have a good night, everyone.0 -
Good morning, I went for another walk a little sore but plan on putting heat on it and it will feel better. Vix your meal sounds nice. No big plans for today I do need to go ups and pick up my package from llbean ordered new slippers getting 2 pairs I love there slippers nice and warm. We had a pretty big storm last night it rained really hard and of course we had a lot of thunder and lighting Annie was not a happy dog so her and I sat and watched some tv but at least it didn't last too long. As far as floors I have no clue I do know my sister has pergo floor and loves it .0

Good morning.
Irene, sounds like you're building up gradually. Comfy slippers are nice.
It didn't rain here, though it did cloud over. We're back to cool weather for a couple of days, and then it's supposed to get warm just for Wednesday and Thursday...then back to cool/cold.
Jo, museums are usually fun.
Roger, interesting about the deer who was walking with you. You must have done something good.
Swimming for me this morning, then I made a list of things to do this afternoon.
Have a good day, everyone. 0 -
Hi
It is showing 48 degrees this morning somewhat cooler than yesterday's 60 degrees for the same time, I walked today for 7.7K steps. The forecast high for today is 56. We had Thunderstorms roll through Yesterday twice with a short break in-between and short lived heavy rain and some wind.
Yesterday when I returned from walking I browsed through the Garden area and picked a few small Raspberries, There may be a few more that will ripen as they are almost there. I also picked the last of the Green Beans. The rest of the garden is done and the leaves on the Fig Trees are curling from the previous frost.
Have a Great Halloween
Roger0
