Hello! After a cloudy day yesterday…..we have another one today. No rain thus far. We groomed Katie yesterday and John did a massive vacuum on the upper floor. He does things in a macho guy way. Wrestling heavy furniture and seemingly unaware of important dust and debris right in plain view. I will do a touch up while he…

Overcast today. But still mild, our weather is having a hard time deciding whither it is going to be autumn or late summer. The leaves have made up their mind….they say “we are done for this year!” Drive way and our little road is coated with fallen leaves. Damon’s birthday is coming up and I hate to do it but I think we…

Hello everyone. We have a very warm fall day. Very sunny. Sort of uncomfortable outside really. Now about MFP….exactly the same issue here. If I try to come back here if I close for some quick refill on coffee, for example, there isn’t NO coming back for hours. Just a plain white screen that will not load MFP again. So it…

A sunny mild day. I would enjoy windows open and the scent to fall leaves. A perfume that can’t be bottled but is so delightful. John is suffering with sciatica and the poor baby is miserable. He also uses these illnesses to be quite cranky. The dear sweetheart needs to let some frustration out or he will pop! I am getting…

A bit chilly here as well. I am still recovering from sore arm and a bit achy muscles from our flu and booster shots. I was worried about doing both at once but it really hasn’t been a problem. If you are considering getting the booster, having a flu shot at the same time will not make the side effects too much worse, if…

Happy birthday dearest Lin! The day cannot really begin without a teapot from Lin and one of her sweet posts. If I had your discipline, I would indeed be a vegan just like you. I hope you know that you are such a special person. Kindness and consideration are your hallmarks. You are one of those lovely people who connect…

There is something crazy going on with my sense of time. The weather seems out of whack but it is really me that’s out of whack. It is quite warm today and I have to remind myself that it is really autumn. Not late summer. John is going on new meds for his arrhythmia. It is hard for John to even own up to getting old, much…

Hello dears! We have a cloudy day and still fairly mild. Not sure what will come out of these clouds rain? Maybe? The day is speeding by and I am trying to cross off a few things from my to-do list. Rather poor showing thus far! This is cauliflower pizza night. However our daughter can’t come because her dog is I’ll,…

A lovely cool fall day here. I am hoping for a successful day of chores and time in the dungeon for a couple weird sewing projects. I have a couple of shirts that fit comfy, no wear but I have spotted them with paint. I am now attaching an embroidery decoration so that I don’t look like such a mess. I always think I can do…

Can’t think of anything else but what Barbie and Jake are feeling. No matter how much you try, no matter how practical you attempt to be, how much strength you pull together to see this through, the truth is that these fur family members were an essential part of our life. Saying goodbye hurts both physically and…

It is a very warm day here. Finally after having the health dept. cancel the booster clinic because they ran out of vaccine, we have appointments at Walgreens. Getting the flu shot at the same time. Barbie: so sorry about Bernie the cat. I well remember the devastating sadness we go through when we have to say goodbye to a…

Good day everyone! Another mild sunny day here. I wonder when our rainy season will start? I both look forward to the cool weather and at the same time I dread the long dark season. Both John and I are set for our bivalent booster on Friday. It ways a tussle getting the appointments straightened out. The software for the…

Hello. A beautiful fall day here. Sunny and mild. I guess I will try to take a page from the amazing Sandy and equally amazing Anne. By that, I mean I will try to coach John out if his pandemic isolation and start being social again. It is an interesting thing about various personalities. I really suffered from the…

A somewhat cool but sunny day. The weatherman here said the summer temps are gone for the time being. John and I have the most trouble with hot weather. We don’t mind cool weather, I guess it is because we have lots of jackets and sweaters. And John wears hats a lot. He says his bald head gets cold or hot or wind blown or…

Me again! Just saw Diane’s great newsy post! Hello my friend. It is such a relief to hear you are safe and doing well. Yes, I understand about plantar issues. It is a misery. Come back whenever you can. We all love hearing from you. Patsy☘️

Hello sneaker friends! A sunny mild day here again. I have so much to do and even more that I want to do. I will try to fit some of it all in. Tonight is cauliflower pizza night. I am adjusting to it. I can’t remember how the other tasted. We get the veggie kind and John likes me to put anchovies on his. Now I ask you!!!…

A mild sunny day here. Although for some unknown reason I had a very sleepless night. Tired this morning but I do have tasks that must be done. Boring stuff like cleaning bathrooms and gathering trash for Friday trash day etc. John is still having high pulse rate and arrthrymia. Now comes the interesting part….I must…

Hello sneakers! ! A cooler day and the haze continues. It takes my breath away when I think of the source of this haze. Diane, hope and pray you and your family are safe. I quickly checked our health dept. for the new updated booster shot. Currently all the new vaccine is spoken for here in our county. We will be getting…

Our hazy skies are still with us. It really isn’t too bad. It moderates the temps yet we still have light. A bit if sun wouldn’t be too bad either. We are in the 70s. I am cautiously optimistic about the Ukrainian situation. Maybe this is taking a turn for the better…regarding this appalling war. Interesting news about a…

Because of the haze caused by the wildfires, our temps haven’t been bad. We were to get drizzle but so far that didn’t happen. Grateful for the reprieve of hot weather. We woke up yesterday to very scary orange skies and a smoky smell. Naturally Damon called to say he had done as much research as he could and saw nothing…

Hello dear sneakers! We have a very orange smoky sky. It is dark and ominous! I fully Amit! It is extremely frightening! I am tracking the weather station on our radio. They give emergency notices when needed. My emergency bag is by the back door. The thought is that all this smoke is from the California-Oregon fire. The…

Sunny today again, and it is starting to heat up again also. My thoughts and prayers remain constant for those suffering in California and the American west. Let’s hope the coming rain will be plentiful yet gentle. Wow, Sandy, that was a very moving and touching poem. Thank you for sharing it. As I have mentioned, I know…

Hello dearest sneakers! Sunny and somewhat mild today. Bracing for the return to hot weather this weekend and next week. Just on the news about the passing of Queen Elizabeth. While I confess to being totally clueless about British royalty, I know that The Queen was respected and held in great esteem all around this…

A sunny warm day here. In fact our hot weather is returning once again. But not like poor sad scorching California. That beautiful state is in trouble. My thoughts and prayers for the people and animals dealing with this climate change. We all are, actually! John has one of his ongoing tooth issues. Every tooth in his…

Sunny day here and while it is warm, it is a lovely day. How I wish I could have a bbq with our kids here. Teasing and laughing and lots of music. It will be John and me. I will call Andrea and Damon. Damon might be going to a social event of some kind. I really don’t mind that at all. I love it when they are feeling happy…

Overcast here as well. But blessedly cool. I think these clouds are to drift away on and then more heat. I can imagine how much fun it would be if we had a swimming pool but alas….we suffer in the heat and high humidity. John is suffering with a bit of allergies and dry irritated eyes. So my task for the day will be to…

Oh my gosh! Poor little Jilly! Did she have to have her leg taped up for support? When our fur babies get hurt, I know it hurts us almost more. We are so worried about them. Wishing dear little Jilly a rapid recovery. I know it was expensive, but when it comes to our beloved fur family, if I needed to, we would spare no…

Watched the presidents speech yesterday and will say we DO live in interesting times! And scary also! Flying socks and angry demented neighbors! Stay safe and keep cautious! Overcast day and much cooler so far. It might heat up this afternoon if our clouds disappear. So I will do my exercises while it is still cool. I did…

Anne: how wonderful. Exciting times at your house. If it were me, I would talk to Mike and have him organize a few of his friends to come help him haul most of the sad old unusable stuff to the dump. The normal thing is to provide beer and pizza to the helpers. Since it is summer, they can sit out in your back yard and eat…

Me again…. Lin: will you be joining the garbage garden competition? You really can grow anything. Remember that old joke about some gardener who left a broom out and by morning it had taken root? That could be you! Patsy☘️
