Woooooooo hot weekend coming up. It is very warm right now. Little conditioner cranking away. Anne: maybe Canada is different but here in the states, retirement places are crazy expensive! And there is often a long waiting list. And there are many examples of abuse and neglect. It isn’t nearly like the expensive place dear…

Hello sneakers, mild sunny weather ! At last! I will be crying for rain next. The new French doors are in downstairs, siding is going up and then painting. Yea hooray! Progress is happening. We are hoping to see our son this week. He has been working on a movie special effects. Horrible movie I guess. But he humrumph! John…

Hello everyone! We had sun.but it was chilly. Kit was frustrating. Seeing sun but it felt so cold outside. Our local libraries have started a seed library. Trays of seeds and starts are waiting for eager gardeners. Take one and deposit one. On the honor system but lit is growing so some people are being very generous.…

Hello! It was a nice sunny day here. Perfect fir the construction guys to keep working on the rot removal. Down stairs double French doors were removed and new replaced. All the siding on one side downstairs is being replaced and upstairs French doors. This has been an expensive process. But it had to be done. John and I…

Hello there- our nice weather continues but……allergens by the billions! Everyone is suffering. I am dealing with it all. Head, eyes, nose and lungs. I used to love spring. This is a strange spring. Son Damon is looking at A very interesting house right down the road. Very pretty and a great large house again. It isn’t a…

Hello and good afternoon dear sneakers. We have glorious sunshine. And it should be that way for all of three days! That might be it for a long time. This is PNW after all! Two guys are ripping off siding revealing rot and mildew.. it must be done because disaster looms otherwise. I am just glad John isn’t tempted to try…

We have high thin clouds and it is chilly out. Nothing looks like spring here at the moment. But I have high hopes. We have an odd situation going on concerning family. John has a nephew who was a traveling salesman before he recently retired. He was successful because he connected to a company that supplied casinos and…

Well dog-gone-it, I have lost my posts twice now! We have lovely sunshine. A bit chilly still. Our neighbor is finishing up the pressure washing today. This included deck furniture and windows so has taken four days. He discovered two places where there is rotten boards on the siding. We are getting a carpenter to fix up…

Hello dear ones, we have clouds but maybe showers on the way. The pressure washing continues. This time on the deck and deck furniture. Dear John is napping and Katie is snuggled next to his leg. She is devoted and is protecting him from all harm while the pressure washing is happening. We. Live on the north coast of…

Happy Easter dear sneakers! We have rain as always. But that is an ever present condition here on the north coast. We are used to it but that doesn’t mean we have stopped complaining about it. Sadly no Easter egg hunts here today. I loved dyeing the eggs and hiding the eggs. I went all out and doned a rabbit suit with ears…

Virruth! Kitchen stool Is what you need- you can perch on one and chop and stir to your heart’s content. Patsy☘️🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐰🐰🐰🐰

Good afternoon everyone! A rainy cold afternoon. Our neighbor is out in the rain pressure washing our shop and garden shed. He is such a sweetheart! John decided to give him our old van and he was so appreciative. But we never use it and it was a chore to keep the battery going and the mice away from the wiring. Plus the…

Another wet da, chilly day. The incredible thing is that our neighbor is out in front of our house pressure washing the house. Katie is barking non-stop. John is off getting the taxes done. (This is a heart stopping thing. He insisted on doing it himself as always. Hoping he can get through this. He seems okay today but…

Hello there, we had a sunny afternoon. Rain and hail in the morning. Naturally my cardiologist appt. Was for11:15am. In hail and sleet. Good news about my A-fib. Only requires a blood thinner and blood test every 6 months. So back to dealing with dear John. He does pretty good in the mornings and early in the afternoon.…

Hello dear ones! We have sunshine again. It is breezy and a bit chilly but spring-like, My big news is that I think i may have found a good helper for housecleaning. She is perfect. Just enough complications that makes her my kind of person. First of all…she really doesn’t speak English. We have a few words we use and lots…

A mild sunny afternoon! Wow! Not sure how to take this. It might be a trick. Evil weather sneaking up on us as we bask in this heavenly spring like weather. I have long known that medicine is not an exact science. Most doctors actually know this but they are the ones that deny that fact. This thing with John is mysterious…

A sunny afternoon, still quite chilly however. Today is grocery delivery day and grandson is coming to vacuum around the traffic areas. Yea! And the drama here is that John might be going through early Alzheimer’s. Or he might have had a stroke. The diagnosis is still in process. Apparently brain injuries or trauma of any…

happy birthday Barbie. Happy that you are celebrating your birthday in your own way. Wishing you the best year ever with great health, and of course, the love and companionship of your sweetheart and sweet doggie. Best wishes Patsy☘️🐕🐕🐕🐕🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Wet and very cold. Katie popped out in the backyard for a quick pee-pee and dashed back inside in between rain drops. I watched from the window and that was my outdoor experience so far today. Yesterday was very hard. In fact I would like never to repeat it. But I fear that will not be the case. My appointment at the eye…

Our sunny day disappeared and it was very warm yesterday. But spring is on the way. So glad Jackie found her cell phone. That was a big worry. And the loss of drivers license was huge. That gave your phone and address! Scary possibilities. Today was fill out Walmart order and visiting with Damon. We must try to help John…

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day everyone! It is sunny but still quite chilly. Bought a corned beef sandwich and ate half. Confess to being a bit nauseous. I haven’t eaten red meat in several years. My tummy was not prepared for such an Assault. Not sure what possessed me to entertain such a departure. I guess the devil made me…

Beautiful sunny but chilly day. Lovely to see. I believe that the never blooming lilac bush out in the lower flower bed is LEAFING OUT! I see green leaf buds on all the branches. This silly bush never blooms. I have threatened the poor old thing many times. “Either you start to bloom or I will cut you down to the ground!”…

A beautiful sunny but slightly chilly day. The atmospheric river drowning California is dipping over into Oregon but so far we are doing okay here. John returned from the doctor with new meds and a health plan that hopfuly will help manage his heart condition. He has a-fib and some other heart conditions that need to be…

Sun shine for a couple of hours now! Looks and feels wonderful. Andrea came for a great visit and grandson vacuumed the rugs. How wonderful is that? Now I am dusting and I will clean the bathrooms tomorrow. John and I will be going to see the new cardiologist tomorrow morning. High hopes for a new strategy concerning his…

Hello again! Wet! Wet! Wet day and evening! Had fun watching the academy awards. The animation winner was made in Portland by some acquaintances of Damon’s. He thought they they were a great group. A studio called shadow box or something like that. One of the artists, a sculptor, does amazing things then the animators jump…

Happy birthday dearest Sandy, there you are….forever young, beautiful and still independent. You are an inspiration to “stick in mud” me. Your photos show us a woman who takes good care of herself…and her friends and family. In truth you will always be surrounded by people who care about you. You are fun and positive. Two…

Hello, I keep losing my posts. User error? Maybe. It is trash day and I have more than I can stuff into the trash cart. Saving some for next week. Akkkch, Jackie: love the new color and style on the hair. Very attractive. Since I do my own, I have never learned the trick of really good coloring. Mine is all or nothing.…

Hello again, lost my post yesterday. It always makes me dispirited and very annoyed when that happens. Nothing if great importance but it would have been nice to chat with you……. Thank you for the birthday cards for sweet Katie. Yes she is 7 years old now. For a big labradoodle she is middle aged and in truth she is…

We had sun for an hour or so but it isn’t raining or hail or snowing. All is good but chilly. Realtors in general are money grubbing hard-hearted pond scum! We have had at least 4 offers from realtors and interested locals to buy our house and properties. The realtors come sniffing around when they see a family member has…

Hello everyone! Cold here as well. And wet! Big excitement here. I have been feeling worse and worse. Called my doctor that I have little to no trust in. His office” witch “told me I could not talk to him and if I felt bad call an ambulance and go to ER! Damon insisted that he come and help me to the ER. Both Andrea and…
