Good Morning! Cold in the 20's this am. I mean no one is out!! :) So very quiet!! Yes, we do better when it is 90 and 100 here! Drop below 70, and we freeze, lol. So sorry about your kitty, Ed. She is beautiful! But she is in very good hands!! Yours!! I had a hard time when my last batch of dogs (rescues) went. Four in all…

Hi!! Went from eating watermelon in the high 60's to freezing here in the 40's with a freeze tonite too, Ed! :D Enjoy your time!! We escaped with little damage in Al. though we did have a fatality in N. Al.. I am afraid La. and Miss took the brunt of the mini tornado season we now have for our region.Things are shifting.…

Hello! Back home from church but probably too late for a nap! Our weather for late Monday into Tuesday is to be stormy and possibly severe so I shopped on the way home from church so I can stay home Monday. I just needed protein and a few odds and ends. It is a beautiful fall day in the 60's at the moment and I am eating…

Good morning all! It has just been busy! Friday and Sat. I cooked for church on Sunday. Monday I had to go to the base for refill meds. The new system is its own malfunction junction, but I will get it straight eventually. It mostly entails old people making multiple trips instead of one, and dividing things up. Great for…

Hi All. Happy Anniversary, Vix! Hope it was wonderful!! (By the time you read this, lol..!) Jo, enjoy your time off!! Congrats to you on going to the gym, and you, Irene, on the elliptical! I found that hard to do when going to the gym. You have to be coordinated..I am not, lol... :# All of us I am pretty sure, would have…

I eat when I am happy..and eat when I am stressed..I may be doomed, lol!!! :# Irene, hope Annie is better. That would be very frightening and stressful for sure. I am sure she is so glad you are close by!! <3 Paperwork lately for anything can be stressful! Vix, sounds so wonderful and economical!! What color?? Hi Val, Hi…

Lows in the upper 30's, but beautiful sunshine and in the 60's. Lovely weather.. Vix, especially not fun cleaning a frost free fridge! But oh, remember the days before they invented them?? Hope it is just the drain!! Ed, your glasses look great! Very Airy! The wine calendar is sure making me smile..Love it!! Do you have…

Good morning! Glad everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! My son's meal was scrumptious, with the best gravy ever. I really need to get back on track though..and have not yet pulled it off. I finished turkey leftovers today. I had meals and sandwiches, but never had enough to make my turkey casserole I make. My son packed…

Happy Thanksgiving!!! <3

Hi everyone!! Ed, great job on weight loss and your levels! Irene, sorry you don't like your highlights. Sometimes it is hard to get right. Jo wish I had your energy!! Vix, I have to clean too. Luckily going to my son's so I am just making rolls and dessert. Hi Val! Hope things are going well traveling! Hope everyone is…

Happy Belated Birthday, Irene! <3 I believe you get to celebrate at least twice as you are under the weather!!! Ed, hope your glasses come Ed. Seeing accurately is always nice!! Vix, the PT did wonders on me and everyone was very nice and gentle and knowledgeable. Until the boss took me in hand. He was a smart alecky kid…

Hello! Nice fall days in and around 70 degrees. No rain till Sat. I put in the worst nite for sleeping since I had my son about 42 years ago! :D My pinched nerve in neck and shoulder has gotten progressively worse since my mammogram and the lady did all that twisting and tugging. She was very good and gentle, unfortunately…

Hello! Just some active days! Church as usual, but I went to early Sunday class and not small group. It was a nice change. I am sure I could use learning more than expressing my opinions! lol..Monday i just felt like cleaning. Flu and bronchitis going around here as well as sinus problems and asthma attacks. Crazy weather.…

Ed, thanks for posting the soups..Guess I need to visit!! My tastes have changed somewhat as I get older. Probably some of the meds change things too! In your case, it seems a change for the better!! Irene, sweet of you to go with your friend!! Hope everyone stays warm and dry. We are cold and rainy all day..though better…

Hello!! A little warmer tonite..we have clouds. Low of about 42, maybe slightly colder with the wind chill. I had made chili already, enough for 2 days. Actually all the soups sound good about now! I love butternut squash and pumpkin soup! I have the stuff for the pumpkin, so that may be next! I am so ready for…

Well, it is cold here. 24 degrees now with a wind chill in the teens. I have most things covered up. I may add some extra leaves tomorrow on a few things, Supposed to be cold most of the week.. then back in the 60s and maybe 70. Alabama is not supposed to be this cold..though maybe it will kill some bugs!! Jo, awesome…

Wonderfully quiet Veterans Day. Appreciate them that served. Resting after the Sunday festivities..I am admiring anybody losing anything weightwise. Congrats to all losing!!! Jo, nice to hear from you, and really nice to be having a shortened work week!! Enjoy!! Val, is fine, just super busy and traveling for the holidays…

I sent an email to Mike too. Hope it was not rainy or too cold for them. My heart sure goes out to them.... Tired of cleaning and ran out of time..but it does look better. With May shedding and all the invisible country spiders making baby webs inside, I feel like Cinderella without a Godmother, lol.. Concert and seafood…

Good morning! Great pictures, Ed . I am surprised the vultures did not fly away. Does this make you a vulture whisperer..?Certainly not something you see everyday! Appreciate knowing about the Paypal scam too. I would like to think I would not fall for that...but sometimes they are so clever at disguising themselves. Just…

We are having a nice couple days. I am needing to do some cleaning. A friend is coming over Friday and we are going to the Gary Allen concert in Montgomery. To find a parking place close, well, we just have to go to dinner too which hopefully will put us there early enough for a good spot. She is spending the night, so we…

Resting after church. I do things on Monday but so slowly..you might blink and miss it!! Nice fall day. Another cold snap on Friday expected. No one brings rose bushes in the house..only me!! :# It is in a very small pot to encourage root growth when I thought I would lose it...And my slow self just never got it planted…

Hope everyone is having a good morning! That is a wonderful spot for Bonnie, Ed. That makes a great remembrance. Chilly mornings here, but nice in the sun during the day and in the 60's. Still chilly in the shade. My yard is pretty shady as all the trees have really grown. I have been on the property for over 25 years now.…

Hello!! I always post so late..ya'll probably see it in the am!! Ed, bless you moving all those plants. I am like you. I hate when it stays too warm to winterize then boom..you must!! I only have 4 plants to move in my cedar protector, and two rose bushes. But they are all heavy. I had to cut down. One rose bush is more…

Fast getting out to mail off some things..and drop Halloween to my grandkids. Then, blessedly home!! Rainey for several days..Strange weather. We will probably have no fall. Kind of a late summer slide into winter..which never kills the bugs!! It is like living in a b minus horror flick! Hope George is okay, Irene.…

Dang.. did not keep up with diary a day...back to day#1..Just short of a year...by days.. :o

Hi All, It has been a week!! I am pooped and glad it is Monday!! My kinda rest day!! I did not have small group or have to cook for church this week. Thankful as it just seemed crazy!! Ed- all your animals are so beautiful!! You are definitely making wonderful progress with Remus!! I can not wait until some months go by to…

Hello! I so relate to that cartoon!! So not a morning person, Vix!! Happy (probably late) birthday to you Jo!! That is amazing you and your husband have those close birthdays!! Hope you do something special! So funny about the cat, especially as I am not doing the waxing...Ed, that is interesting about your gliders. I…

Ed, hope you feel better!! Cuddling the cat is a very important job!!! <3

Hello!! Finally heard about my biopsy. Everything was good, thank God..and I just go back in like 9 months for another U/S. Looks like I have added another Dr. to my yearly repertoire. I don't have to find interesting things to do..the Docs have it all planned out, lol.. :# I need to take a run into Montgomery and leave my…

Please share the soup recipe, Irene!!! :)
