A happy Sunday sneakers! All is well here. We had a fierce wind and rain last night. We received at least 2 inches or more of rain. There were flood and mudslide warnings but I haven't heard about any incidents as of yet. Hope all are safe and well. One of life's odd little measures of ...you can't have it all...is the…

Good morning all, we have another very soggy day. I am feeling it! I need Coffee, a bit of my exercise, feed the furry juvenile, and hit the dungeon. I ,again, have multiple projects in the works. If you could only see John's face when he tries to wonder into my dungeon! At my advanced age, I have given myself permission…

Soggy city here! I was to read at the kindergarten but it is so wet and windy, I asked to delay our story time until next week. Sandy, I am to read Charlie Brown and The Great Pumpkin Patch. One of my personal favorites. Charles Schultz was a creative genus and so generous to his community. Charlie Brown really speaks to…

I am truly amazed at the diverse little group that we are. Victorians who enjoy computers? Count me in as one of you. I also love computers but my understanding goes only just a bit further than knowing where the on/off button is. Our son just gives up on me and says..."what are you trying to do, Mom? Let me just do it and…

Things are normal here...rainy, cloudy and windy! But all in all, a great cup of coffee and a cd of great bluesy jazz and there is of course, a great chat with the sneakers. I feel better today after a nice sleep. The fall left me with a few very colorful bruises and sore muscles. I had this idea of making the bruises into…

Buzz: as always, you are an example of a woman who defies age. You look and act like a woman much younger. Age really is just a number. Jackie: I saw in the news that you had a pretty nasty storm heading your way. Glad you escaped the worst of it. We had a similar experience this weekend with the meals we had planned for…

Hello sneakers! Interesting weekend here. Our son arrived a bit later than he planned. He had an appointment to have new tires put on his car. As usual things took longer than promised. He was exhausted. The shirts and sweaters fit him perfectly. He looked great in them. Starting Tomorrow he has meetings with several new…

Oooooooooh dear Anne! I still can't operate those amazing graphic programs to with you a happy birthday. Know that I wish you a happy birthday and happy every day! You are still young, you are still beautiful, you are still Anne! We are so glad you are a sneaker. Patsy

Happy birthday eve, Anne! Got on the iPad to check weather and just had to get the birthday greetings started. If you had stayed in England...would we have have had a chance to get to know you? Maybe! Things have a rhythm and a reason. As much as you miss England and the wonderful memories and culture, I believe you have a…

Good day dear sneakers, Getting set for our son's birthday visit. He has been so busy this summer we have hardly seen him. We have our weekly calls to keep in touch but it isn't guite the same. Still limping about with my heel problem. The wet cold weather really shows everyone who is boss around here! All our old friends…

Good day sneakers! It is a rainy day here. Sort of cold but Katie has done a through check on the grounds. She checks for dragons and possible dinosaurs each day. She isn't as mature as Anne's Jilly. She wants to play ball, jump and play constantly. She is a very accomplished thief! She steals socks and underwear (gasp)…

Good afternoon everyone! The day started rather foggy and cold but the sun is out now and it is a lovely warm afternoon. I need to use it to good advantage. Yesterday I had a little trip to the ER for attention to my ever present diabetic ulcer on my heel. It never really heals and needs attention constantly. But no…

Went out to lunch and spent so much time I didn't get to buy my pumpkins or mums. I guess this will be a Sunday afternoon thing. We love to go to this seafood place for lunch. We buy Katie a well cooked hamburger patty as a treat. She gets excited when we drive into the restaurant parking lot! It is rather cold and we have…

Good (but very chilly) morning! I was up early but not by choice. This is our trash day. We must get our trash container out to the side of a little road early. Our trash truck comes at such a strange disorganized time. Some weeks it is in the afternoon and some weeks it arrives at 7:30 am. We cannot leave it out the night…

Another lovely morning here! We washed living room windows yesterday and now the world seems brighter. On to the rest of the windows as the week end brings the last of the stuff from my late friends home. I have just found a home for her dog. I was thinking I would need to adopt him but fate intervened. He was an injured…

Good morning! A cold morning but it looks clear and sunny. I did get a couple of windows washed yesterday but as my mom would have said, "there is more to do but I am just not feeling it." The news is so alarming I have to just take a quick glance to make sure we are still not at war, then off to more uplifting activities.…

There are gun shows here in Oregon as well. In fact there seems to be a company that organizes these shows. They are normally in large venues. There was one right next an antique show. The gun show was larger and more people attended. I keep thinking each time things like this happens...well finally, we have hit rock…

Good morning. It is very chilly this morning. I have to remind myself that this is indeed October. I somehow feel like summer was very short and hot. I don't remember any lazy days of summer. I must have napped through summer... I am still getting those phone calls and am now dealing with the last of my late friends…

Good morning dear ones! Looks like we are going to have a clear day. I don't see any clouds at all. Lovely! It is just a bit chilly, it is lovely sweater weather, not coat weather yet. John , Katie and I spent a lovely Sunday. There is a new seafood restaurant here with an extensive take out menu. We bought seafood…

Ooooh how can they resist us beautiful golden sneakers? All those trolls, I mean! I was telling John about all the troll attention you all have been getting. He laughed and said, "this guy better watch out. You sneakers are no bodies fool. He could wind up in jail faster than he ever thought possible." I am sure there must…

Good morning dear sneakers. I must confess to being somewhat flummoxed by the recent political crazies, hurricane disasters, our sciatica, the passing of my friend and sister in spirit and now Katie has come UNtrained. she pees and poos in the middle of the night. Oh well, I guess in the big scheme of things this is pretty…

Hello all! Excuse me if I must say, I love that some guy took a look at our pretty red-haired Anne and became instantly twitterpated. It just shows what we have been saying all along. You are a pretty lass with a lovely little pup! The scary thing is this...where do these guys get our names and are able to contact us?…

Hello remarkable sneakers! How fortunate I am to have discovered a group of truly positive people. I admit to being a sad sack from time to time. Thanks for shaking me up and turning on the light. John says it must be that Irish thing in me...I wallow in misery and dark thoughts. He loves to read Irish poets and says one…
-
Buzz: this question that you brought up is so much a constant part of my life. I am still part of a couple but in my case, it is this...the power belongs to John. He isn't over-powering but he is the kind of person that fills a room. He commands attention in a respectful friendly way. He is stronger than I am but he needs…

Oh my ! This administration can not help but make one big mess after another. This airplane parts and engineering corp. tariff will have huge reprocussions. Holy cow! When will this end? This is such a monumental bad idea, I see so many unintended unfortunate consequences. It defies reason. My late friend's family is now…

Glorious sunny mild day here. Katie and I did our morning exercises out on the deck. It was a lovely morning. I cleaned out three kitchen drawers and picked out things to add to the goodwill box. John keeps going through the box taking things back out! It is crazy, really. He never uses any of the things he decided we…

Oh dear Lin! A very happy birthday my friend. You have been that special Golden Sneaker that intrigues us with your creative crafts and devotion to church and friends. I have always felt there are those people who teach us by showing us a life lived in service and caring. You are that kind of teacher. On your birthday I…

Great photos Lin! My husband would have loved looking at this restored classic car. For me...a real classic Lincoln would have to include Mathew "alright! Alright! Alright" in a tuxcedo driving a Brand new shiny Lincoln. LOL! Love those car ads on TV. Katie and I are on the deck this am doing our morning exercises. Those…

Beautiful fall day here...we are into regular Oregon weather now. Rain, some sun and cool temps. Sweater weather. Jackie: that is also one of my favorite poems..."Stoping by woods on a snowy morn." Robert Frost! I dabble in a bit of poetry but I lean toward the modern verse without rhyme. But I love it all! Lin: After a…

Howdy! We had rain and a tornado warning! US, here on the Oregon coast...a tornado warning! I don't think anything ever came of it but it was quite a surprise. I have seen a very scary water spout before. It is like a tornado of water, also very dangerous. We got our copy of the National Geographic and GASP! Right on the…
