    Faye: Do you live at the marina/RV park? If so, I walk by your place several times a week when we are out walking our dog. Welcome to the neighborhood. :star:

    Tracey: PEI is a place I have always wanted to visit. I’m a huge fan of Anne of Green Gables. :star: Your photos are wonderful! :star:

    Pip: Sorry about the loss of your phone. I hope you’ll be able to replace it asap. Was it insured? :sad:

    Rebecca: I do live in Halloweentown. October is amazing around here. I wonder whether it will be impacted by corona virus. I hope not. Last October we had the pleasure of a visit from DS, DDIL, & our grandson. All of us had a great time. :bigsmile:

    Sue in WA: I hope your mole turns out to be benign. :flowerforyou:

    Machka: You are so close to reaching your goal. Have you been thinking about how you will celebrate? :huh:

    Lisa: You have been blessed with a good man and chose to marry him. WTG!!!! :star:


    We are in a battle with tiny black ants. DH found an online suggestion—spray the area with mint oil. I decided to try a different aromatic plant—I took some spent flowrs form our sage plant and the ants are not here at the moment. PLUS the kitchen smells great.

    The Rashneesh was way upriver from us. We were living in Tualatin back then. We moved here 23 years ago.

    Today is Invite An Alien To Live With Your Day!

    How's that for a weird one? "Invite an Alien to Live with You Day celebrates Mork & Mindy, a television show that starred Pam Dawber as Mindy and Robin Williams as Mork, an alien from the planet Ork whom Mindy invited to live with her. The day takes place on Robin Williams' birthday, so he is celebrated as well. During Mork & Mindy's four year run, 55 to 60 million people tuned in each week to watch it."

    My kind of day! Lol

    Pip I hate that your phone is broken. So annoying and as you said, not the way you had planned your last day of work. Just think of it as a mic drop maybe. It might take a little of the sting out of it.

    Heather & Faye So relieved that Johnny has taken Faye's vertigo words to heart! Heather just tell him toilet sitting & getting up will be good for gluts and legs. :)

    Faye I don't know much about the border between Oregon and Washington, but I looked on a map and it seems as if there is at least a 150 mile stretch on the Columbia River where the prehistoric sturgeon still swim…

    Tracey So nice that you and your husband connected on your 4 day trip. Very beautiful place you live in.

    Kay Thinking of you this morning. Many sympathetic ears here if needed.

    …


    We had a spectacular storm last night here in the Richmond, VA area. Thunder and lightning! 0.5" rain. The world is fresh and clean this morning!

    thanks, I like that thought

    Thought this was interesting:

    “ Ratcatcher's Day, Rat-catcher's Day or Rat Catcher's Day is celebrated on 26 June or 22 July, commemorating the myth of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. The town of Hamelin in Germany uses the June date[1] and the term "Pied Piper Day".[2] The confusion of dates is because the Brothers Grimm cite 26 June 1284 as the date the Pied Piper led the children out of the town, while the poem by Robert Browning gives it as 22 July 1376. It is a holiday remembering rat-catchers, similar to Secretary's Day and Presidents Day.[3][4]”

    It is also National Hammock Day! Enjoy your hammocks!

    Katla Yes, UP river!!! I get confused because of the elevation rise from The Dalles to Hood River. The elevation goes up but the river is flowing down. I do have a small place connected to a friend's place near Troutdale to stay, in times of lengthy medical care requiring a PDX specialist. Most times UP the river! Still dreaming of getting a semi to live in so I could spend time all up and down the river. I still have to go to a specialist in Eastern Washington for yearly checkups so such a home would be ideal for me except I cannot drive anymore so I would have to hire a driver. Not sure my union retirement and SS would allow for such extravagance.

    Karen Yes, there is a lot of river milage ruled by the underwater dinosaurs that I love and travel every chance I get. 150 miles sounds about right for sturgeon territory.

    Dellafayefox: What a grand RV!!!!! I'd love one just like it, but will stay with the old rig we've got until we win the lottery. I expect that to happen about the time water runs uphill when the tide is not coming in. :star:

    Heather Both Dr, John Epley and Dr. F Owen Black should have received the Nobel peace prize along with other honors. Dr. Black worked for NASA and checked all the astronauts before and after space flight. He was the pioneer of the effects of space travel on the human inner ear. He did amazing studies in microgravity. He and Epley perfected the slow drip steroid procedure for controlling full-blown hydrops. Amazing scientist!

    Deliafayefox: I saw a woman walking a black lab toward the St.Helens Marina when I left to pick up my dog from the groomer. Does that match you and your dog? If so, it would be easy to meet in the park at the end of the road. :flowerforyou:

    I am odd in that I actually enjoy cleaning to some degree. When I have something on my mind I find cleaning gives me good thinking time. I like having no one around when I do it. As for daily cleaning I do most of it, but it’s just hubby and I so it doesn’t take long.

    Tracey

    Actually Tracey this time it was kind of therapeutic! I vacuumed the living room dusted, then lit some jasmine incense, (then I cracked a window), but now I look around and 95% of every surface is clean.👍

    Katla there are just a few sayings that have resonated with me, that is one of them.👍. Also the sing songy one:
    All will be well and
    All shall be well
    And all manner of things shall be
    Exceedingly well!
    (Something like that).

    Faye - I dream of making a contribution to human happiness like your doctors. Even writing a wonderful song would do it. B) I admire great song writers. I retain a forlorn hope that my writings, especially my memoir, will be such a contribution. That is what keeps me going.
    I very nearly retrained as a doctor when my children were young and I have a lifelong obsession with all things medical. To be remembered for making other people's lives better seems to me to be a wonderful thing.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Faye, oh the Rajneeshee cult, I was working in downtown Portland, and was trying to find a place to live. I had been living in my Dads condo (he was living with a girlfriend but still wanted an "out" if it didn't work out. Plus he owned the condo, so for a couple of months I lived there. I was just trying to get on my adult feet! Anywhoo I worked at us bank mainbranch (such a beautiful building) I will find it and post it. I had found a huge old house in uptown near the library and they had rooms to rent, with even a baby grand piano in the main living room. It was reasonably priced. Before I committed to it, the cult had bought the whole building!

    I remember being verbally attacked on a bus going home by 5+ of them. I had asked one why she wore a pendant with his face. Then suddenly I had them all around shouting at me, and I just raced off the bus crying. Crazy red/ purple clad people!
    💖Rebecca
