    Allie I watched the weather channel last night too. Your right best not to watch it right now. Little you can do. Things can be replaced not people. I didn't think you were down in Florida right now. If you are leave. The hurricane is scheduled to hit tomorrow. (Sunday)

    Lenora good to see your post. Be safe. Prayers for Florida. If you have to leave too prayers for safe journey.

    :heart: Margaret

    Pip - have a safe ride! Breakfast looked great = carbs! Kirby is something else! <3 I wish you two many, many long, happy and healthy years together. <3

    Joyce     - please post when you can. Love hearing about what's happening in your world. The last housecat we had did the same thing with splashing water all over.... I finally a large plastic bowl of water in the bathtub and dropped a marble in it. She'd spend hours in there "fishing".

    Cheri - have a good visit with your son! Hope things are getting put back together in Houston.

    Machka - sounds like you had a brisk bike ride. I like hearing about winter weather, lol. In about three months I'll want to hear about your spring weather!

    Heather - sending you healing thoughts for that dratted cough. Some folks get coughs so bad they break ribs. Have fun making the birthday cake - can't wait to see a photo of how it turns out!

    Allie - hope the FL property survives with minimal damage. I am the type to stew and fret and drive myself nuts imagining the worst - your response to Tom was good - there's nothing you guys can do about it. Has it ever been through hurricanes or bad windstorms before? Also, have you heard from any of your neighbors down there? I keep looking at all the different models of the hurricane's track and it's so confusing - and aggravating. The serenity prayer is appropriate for all of the circumstances in your life right now (and probably for all of us!)

    Smells like fall and I saw a flock of Canada geese. Have 2 crockpots of applesauce going for the freezer, and still plenty of apples left over that kept well in the garage and handful left on the tree. Will start dehydrating some tomorrow.

    Will close for now-have a good Saturday!

    Cool and hopefully rainy SW WA State

    The interstates from Florida through GA are overflowing with evacuees! People/Companies in GA are doing a great job of offering the visitors places to stay. All the state parks are offering free admission and disaster relief plans are in action. We are expecting heavy rain gusts, wind, and possible tornadoes as a result come Monday or Tuesday. All the local news stations are posting updates every few hours. It is difficult to imagine what may come as it is a gorgeous Fall like day here.

    Alison ~ Hope your home gets through the storm!

    My Instant Pot mini arrived. Boy, it's a lot different than my Nesco. It will take some getting used to. I feel like I'm loading my counter top with gadgets! ;)

    Carol your IP is same size as mine, got it 2 weeks ago when my rice cooker went kaput! There are YouTube clips on setups and things to try first, like the boil water test. I watched them instead of reading the manual :s Have fun with it, hope you like it.

    [quote="barbiecat;c-40401365"] :)Wendy . my weight stays within the same few pounds. It goes up if I eat in a restaurant because of the sodium then returns slowly to where it was before. I eat the same now as I did when I was losing weight and seek every opportunity to be active. I eat the same meals over and over. When I cook, I fix exactly what we'll eat and create no leftovers to be a tempting unnecessary treat later. I am exactly opposite of Heather in my eating. I don't create interesting meals and I rarely eat out. I found a plan that works for me and I stick to it. I decide ahead of time what I'll eat for the whole day and stay with the plan. If someone offers me a treat, I decline it, no matter what it is. I weigh myself in the morning and at bedtime in exactly the same clothes and write the weight down. Maintaining my health is a matter of life and death for me and I treat it with respect.

    Yaye Barbie, you beat me by weighing yourself twice a day. I'm going to try that and see if it keeps me more honest and inspired to stick to daily meal plans. I think a lot of bodybuilders do the same kind of fueling in that they eat the same meals over and over. Easier to stick to the plan for some people.

    Today it is rainy and grey again but I feel desperate for a run, so might just drive to forest and wait for a break. I know Jock needs a run too. I also am desperate to do the next phase of blonding my hair. Tired of being Bozo and having heads turn as people stare at me everywhere I go! EEEK. My daughter #2 was going to bleach my hair again yesterday, but I ended up taking her to the Emergency at our hospital as she has been sick with unending headache and all over bone pain and then woke up yesterday with a rash like pox all over torso and arms...Saturday so nothing was open but emergency. Diagnosis: Strep throat and strep rash. Two weeks of 4 x a day antibiotics. Poor girl. She burst into tears in the waiting room because she had convinced herself she was dying of bone cancer or brain tumour.

    Very stressful on me and we rebounded afterwards with McD's and a fish burger and M&M Mcflurry...(at least I resisted the fries!) So I really NEED to go for a run and burn it all off and dump the stress too. Hope she feels good enough today to do my next bottle of blonde! <3 Wendy

    We've moved most of the things that need to be moved; turned them all upside down as well. When Joyce talked about her Cracker Barrel rocking chair made me remember the Brumby Rocker I got when my Mother died. My Pop had worked for them in Marietta after getting out of the Navy. I have several pieces his had made. A tool chest, a blanket chest, old steamer trunk that my mother went off to college with, and, an adjustable desk and stool that was my mother's when she was little.

    Sister left Miami and her friend went to stay at her condo and will stay to feed the cats and dogs. She was happy it did not hit Miami. She is up in Peachtree City with my oldest sister. It hurt my feelings 'a little' because I had told her she could come here. She has never even seen my house and we've been here over 16 years. Looks like if it hits where they say it will ... we might end up coming right over Albany as a Cat 1 Tropical storm; but with stronger winds than the 2 previous storms. It has been a bad weather year for Albany.

    Louis and I will sit on our swing on the back deck (until the sun gets in our eyes. We had wanted to build the house with the front door facing our driveway; but, the county put a halt to that. If we had been able to then the deck that goes the length of our house would face east.

    I'm making pear conserves. Now, I need to reheat our gumbo and make a little rice, so I guess I will stop now.

    Pip: Thanks for the photos. You two are my heroes! :bigsmile:

    Joyce: I hope that you'll discover that your front porch is your new favorite spot to sit. :flowerforyou:

    Lenora: I hope you're lucky with your weather. :star:

    Becca: It was nice to see your face! :bigsmile:


    We just got home from a lunch with several of DH's high school classmates. This is the 52nd year since graduation for them & the second get together since the 50th anniversary celebration. I like most of his classmates and the people a lunch today were very pleasant.

    A couple of my latest creations, plus a couple of my work area. These two were the two least messy areas. After I put these on here, I saw in the background the roll of toilet paper in the bathroom down the the hall lol
