    Thanks drkatiebug and ginnytez.

    The old version relied on friending people and the Community section of the app was vicious. It seems to have been directed in the opposite way. Good to know. It seems harder to find conversations, though.

    Off to a slow start, though. My food intake was fine yesterday, but friends came over and there was wine. I’d like to come up with an enjoyable alternative to wine.

    Lisa - what I like is that it has taken the old fashioned traditional style and somehow made it new. The colours, the yarn, and the placement. To be perfect for me there would have to be more blue than green. :p

    I've been looking on the Internet for inspiration as to how to improve my two recent pictures, the view from my bedroom window, and the picture of Edie. I've screenshot a few. Hope to have a go on Wednesday. I want to make them slightly more abstract. More post-impressionist! :laugh:

    [quote="ginnytez;c-47239353"

    Debbie-I find the raccoon invasion disturbing. My two cats no longer go outside (their choice). Next door neighbor told me yesterday there was a nasty possum in his yard and the possum and dogs were having standoff-possum didn't want to back down. I haven't seen it but will keep a look out. We may need to contact animal control-hopefully he was just passing through from one cornfield to the other.


    Take care all,

    Ginny in Ohio[/quote]


    only one of our 7 inside cats is allowed outside and only during the day. Before we started letting him out, he was so stressed he was tearing up the door casings,scratching everything. The other six can go in the catio- It is all enclosed, as long as they don't tear a whole in it- We used a fiberglass screen but should have just gone with the chicken wire to start with, then we wouldn't have to be doing the repairs. This in not the first time. Another time was the one female that son's girlfriend brought over(who we were told was fixed but wasn't at the time but is now) was in heat and either she ripped it or the male feral cat did it. That time, she got out along with three or four of the others. Each time we have got them back in. Has happened a few times they got out.

    We have possums here too. We are in town so surprised at the wildlife we see here- see skunks too.
    The coons are the ones that cause the damage- messing in my garden and tearing up the lawn. Mainly go for the cat food and we worry about the outside feral/semi feral cats.

    Having a wonderful weekend with my girlies. Heading home today. Finished all my cards, but for the sentiments that I have to stamp at home. Didn't want to bring the stamps and ink along, so just a little finishing work.

    15 Call or text someone you haven't talked to in at least a week... BFF Kerry, to wish her mom (my other mother) a happy birthday.
    Love and Blessings, Carla, in MN

    Love that colorful knitted thing Heather! I would put it on a harder fabric and hang it on a wall. That is art to me, not a blanket persay.😁👍🏻
    I took a screen shot and will post it to my sister who has artists fingers.

    Happy Sunday,
    Well, yesterday I got all the equipment cleaned off on the showroom, mopped the floor, and started organizing and cleaning the Gravely blade shelf-YUCK! Will make new tags tomorrow. Also sold a few pieces of equipment. Good day. Finished folding the laundry and put away at home, then we left for Kentucky. We stopped at my favorite Mexican restaurant for lunch/dinner. It tasted great but.....darn belly issues! Didn't make it 5 miles down the road and we had to make a quick pit stop. Lets just say I ignored the sign that said for customers only! Things then calmed down until bedtime of course. I am guessing there was too much fat in my diet yesterday. Trying to eat more sensibly today.

    FLIES SUCK! Don't know where they are coming into the farmhouse, but upstairs was awful! It took me an hour to vacuum up. I have plastic and tape over the windows now to see if that is mainly where they are coming in or if they just collect there trying to get out.

    I should probably get some paperwork done. OH! I had two customers yesterday tell me thank you for their Christmas cards! I sent e cards to as many as I could before Christmas via their email addresses. They thought that was awesome! Yay!

    Prayers and Hugs for everyone with family health issues. Try to remember to take care of yourselves, so that you can be there for your family.
    Hope your Sunday is relaxing and maybe a bit productive.

    <3

    Rebecca - Yes, I see it as Art in a very plain room. Or a colourful bedspread in an all white bedroom. I don't think it would be difficult to do, just time consuming! I could see it in my guest room, which is aqua. Blue and pink are my default colours. :D

    So many things to watch on TV tonight, after two nights of nothing! Why does that happen so often? I can only record two things at once, so have had to leave one programme and catch up on it on iplayer. New 'Vera' which I am recording, so we can skip the adverts. Also 'Great Pottery Throw Down'. Watching 'Call the Midwife' and 'Happy Valley'. 'Digging for Britain', with my favourite fantasy dinner party guest, Alice Roberts, will have to stay on iplayer. We often watch the BBC, with no adverts, and record the commercial channels.

    So, lots of treats in store!

    Love, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    @GodMomKim 👋🏻 hi N. CA, here, too. We are WET, WET, WET!

    @kevrit - I used to RV. Hubs and I enjoyed the pandemic hiking trails and biking beaches throughout US! It was so fun.

    @KJLaMore what is this list? It seems nice.

    Happy Birthday, Rori! I just looked up apple bananas. I lived in the Philippines and never heard of them. They sound wonderful. Will be seeing if I can find some near me to try.
