Sounds like J is getting excellent care!! Irene, nice you visit and do not let the virus madness get out of hand. Mostly due diligence will…

Hello!! Prayers for the Nashville area is in order it seems. How frightening. I am pretty sure I saw the animals walking two by two out my yard today, with heavier rain expected Weds. Irene, The retreat was only for the day. It was really nice and well done by many of our younger people. I would like to go on a week end…

Good morning all! It is raining and dismally grey today and will be for several days. Storms expected Weds. We sure do not need this rain. The temperatures are much nicer with no freezing at nite. That is great..rain or no!! Your soup looks great, Ed, perfect for the day!! Jo, I just aggravated setting things up for small…

Ed, you SURE you didn't have something else to eat before bed, lol... :D Worked in the yard. It is really pretty in the sun. Still freezing at nite! So nice to be outdoors!! Take care all!! <3

Hello, Glad you are all doing pretty well! Jo, hope your cold and cough are short lived. I have some downloaded material for Ash Weds. and we have a special service tonite. I hope to get there. I need to pick up some meds and I can go see the rivers while they are still high. I am having so much trouble with my arthritis…

Hello!! Sounds like everyone is doing well!! Jo, it is such a slow process but how wonderful to have the support of your boss! I hope you continue to improve! Ed, you stay awfully busy with all the animals!! How lucky they are!! Glad they are doing well!! Vix, I know you will have such a wonderful time for your Grandson'…

Beautiful Valentine Vix!! I hope everyone had a wonderful day!! Cool spying Ed!! At least the weather is crazy everywhere, lol...!! Cold here today and freezing tonite...oh boy.. :# But it is sunny!! :) Stay warm everyone!! <3

Hi!! High of 81 today. My forsythia is blooming and so are my blueberries. Not so good as tomorrows low is 36 degrees followed by 31 degrees. Parts of my tulip tree is also blooming..But then so is my Christmas cactus. I should have put it in the dark a little sooner than November, lol... :# Ed, your pictures are great!…

Planning the small group lunch is a lot like herding cats! I am making some chess bars today for Sunday. I was hoping we would cancel as they are having a later mid day lunch because of a funeral. My group does not mind being there from 9 am till 430 pm..but this lady will be going from 10:15 am till 130 pm and have to…

Hello!! One of my favorite songs there, Ed! :) Sleepy as we had our alarms for weather and flooding going off. One fatality in western Al. due to straight line winds. I am afraid Georgia and the Carolinas may fair worse. My yard is quite flooded in spots and still raining. I think I have had more than 4 inches of rain.…

Hello! Jo I am so sorry about Vinney. It is so very hard. Amazing how we feel them with us even after for a while. <3 It's 75 here and beautiful. I never seem to get around to planting bulbs. If I had them, I guess they would be up. Irene, I am not sure anyone should have seen the half time show last nite, lol.. :D Unless…

Hello!! Irene good for you on that treadmill!! Still trying to get more exercise into my day. And Vix, good for you keeping to your eating to lessen inflammation. I do so well at home, but unfortunately not when going out and church. Trying to get a little more control of that. :) I am only bringing sliced cucumber to…

Goodness!! What a catch Ed! Nice of you to rehome. So far no critters that big in the house. Nice rattlesnake a year back or so. My son killed it as it was getting in the yard with May. I have lizards getting in and while I catch some to put outside, others allude me to find little skeletons at a later time. I have spider…

Hello!! I did not realize how long it has been since I wrote. It has been a little crazy here. My stepmother lives in S.C. and is going to see an Ortho Doc around Feb 7th or so. She was in the hospital for about 5 days and rehab for 21 days. She has done well, but has weakness in her legs. It was thought to be neuropathy…

Good morning all. It is slightly warmer and the weekend should be around 60. The nights are in the 30's still. This area of Al. is known for great peaches, so we also need more cold. So far the orchards have had only about 1/3 the cold they usually do. I am sure Feb will bring a few cold days. We usually have an early…

Hello! Beautiful sunny weather but cold for us. Even May May runs in and out pretty quickly! I was able to just relax yesterday and have nowhere to be today. It is so wonderful. Such a homebody!! Hope to do some reading today.I am waiting for it to warm up some so I can play ball with May and tire her out some. Sounds like…

Happy MLK day! Lots of doings down here for the day. This lady is staying inside. We had a low of 28 degrees and a bit of a wind. I had forgot to cover one of my plants outside so I was doing it before bed at 11pm. May may wanted to play ball, so I was outside (with my jacket!) for a little bit! Silly dog!! Believe it or…

Hello all!! I have had a busy week and I am kind of tired getting up. My stepmom is in rehab at the moment needing PT as she has trouble walking and doing things. Bless her, she puts things off so it all is catching up with her. She did have to have some IV therapy for infection at the hospital first so it is a long haul.…

Hello! It is in the low 60's but wet, foggy, grey and cold, lol..( for us Al. people!) Jo, so very sorry to hear of your pinched nerve. They are awful and painful. The relaxers and meds will help. Stay ahead of the pain, even if you feel relief, it will be temporary for awhile. I have that too, and it takes a while for…

Hi! Glad everyone is doing well. I am pretty sure we had more rain than my rain gauge could hold. It is in the 60's but so cold and damp it feels colder. Al. was lucky. We did have some a tornado that resulted in 2 people who died. :'( Trees falling. But we did not have the swarm of tornadoes we were expecting. Thank…

Hi! Quiet day today. Worked some on the yard and a few minor things. The day went too quick!! I will be happy when the time changes! I have to shop Friday for Sunday small group, but it could be worse. I may get at home time without it putting me to sleep! Waiting to see how the severe weather sets up for Saturday. May May…

Hi! 32 degrees last nite..and a warm spring day if you are in the sun!! Dinner with girlfriend today and some cleaning to still do tomorrow. Back on track somewhat, but Sundays still derail me for weight loss. Hopefully I can try to work on that! Snow sounded nice! Icy spots not so much! Just enjoying the sunshine after a…

Good Morning!! We are having fairly warm days in the 60's and sometimes will be 70. The nights are occasionally freezing interspersed with 40's and 50's. Just enough bouncing to be crazy!! :) Well, there were a few people surprised they did not get to eat lunch at church. Our small group met and we had lunch and discussion…

Hi! Sounds like we are all dragging a bit from the holidays!! I LOVE Calvin and Hobbes!!!! <3 Glad you posted wrong, Ed!, lol..I know there are posts of Calvin & Hobbs. I have them bookmarked!! We are raining still here too. Flood warnings are posted for South of Montgomery in the usual places. I am soaked, but (Knock…

I forgot, the part of the leaf where the core was might need thinning along that vein with a knife so it will roll up... for the first layers of leaves it is thick.. :) ..

Hi! Great stay at home day as it seemed cold to me and rainey. Trying to rein in the carbs! Supposedly like 68, but with the bit of breeze and dampness, it felt in the upper 40's to me. Silly but true. All the New Years Eve foods sounded and looked delicious! Vix, when I do my cabbage rolls, I parboil a whole head of…

Hello all!! Ed, glad you got to the hospital to be checked out! Have you had anything like this before? Hope you are feeling better! Take it easy!! Irene, glad Annie is enjoying her walks! You too!! It is so wonderful to see animals spoiled. That is how it should be!! Crazy weather everywhere! 75 here yesterday and will be…

Hello!! It is cold and drizzly here, thought it was going to be fairly sunny and warm...Not!! I was going to remove all the coverings to a more inside location tonite based on the weather report which was 20% rain, and prepping for rain Sat and Sunday. They are soaked and I will need them for a freeze again on Monday nite.…

Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas Eve and a very Merry Christmas! <3 Everyone's dinners sound so wonderful and include a lot of my favorite things!! I know you will enjoy the time! Glad Lilo is responding so well to treatments Ed! You take very good care of your "creatures!!". Such a welcome change from some of the…

Hello all!! I am waiting for the ark to float by, hoping to catch a ride!! It has been raining steadily since Sat. nite, often quite heavy. I can barely push May May to get outside. We should have an end to the rain sometime on Monday, dry out on Tuesday and be sunny and 70 degrees by Christmas Day! A Christmas miracle…
