I was not feeling well yesterday so did very little. Feel better today but not up to par. Beautiful weather we are having but really too warm for fall. I would love a few crisp days. Jack had a lung scan last week, doctor called Monday and said it shows two small nodes. They have scheduled another scan in six months. He…

My granddaughter, Callie, had come to my house a couple of weeks before the car accident to help me sort through clothes, shoes, jewellery etc. She found a lot of treasures to take home with her. She took this pic of herself at my house wearing several at once. Since she passed, I've seen her SIL and some friends on…

Good morning, I'm up and running this morning. For exercise I hop on my Slimcycle daily. I got it at the end of May and have now put over 1900 miles on it. It has resistance bands built in which I use about three times a week. Yesterday was my twin sister birthday (she's a year older than me). This was taken at Callie's…

Lisa in AR. We were thur your area on our way home from MO a couple of weeks ago and I thot of you. Such a gorgeous area. Thank you for your kind words. Callie had come over to help me go thru closets, shoes etc before we moved, she took home a load of coats, clothes and jewelry and took a picture of herself with her…

kizanne2 We will go out to dinner. Our son and dil will celebrate with us. Janetr OKC

Kelly. I read part of your post to Jack, too funny the oldest laying out the ground rules already. Do y'all know if the new baby is a boy or girl? Ca!lie's husband, Chris, is really struggling. My heart breaks for him. He doesn't have much support on his side of the family, so we have reached out to him. My daughter,…

Heather Thank you so very much my dear friend. I appreciate your kind words. Janetr OKC

Sue , bjg hugs, I'm sending prayers for you and family through this hard time. Barbara So Or - Our anniversary is Tuesday, it will be 12 years. This is my third marriage and this is the longest I've ever been married. I found THE right one this final time. Enjoy you day. Janetr OKC

Beth, thank you, sweetie. Kay, thanks for your kinds words. Janetr OKC

Callie and I ready to go to the Nutcracker Ballet last Christmas. Janetr OKC

Barbara in So Oregonno Callie and her husband did not have children. She wanted a baby so much, they were both having tests to see if there was any reason she could not concieve. Janetr OKC

My great grandson playing pedk-a-boo with his daddy's hat. Such a sweetie. Janetr OKC

Oh sweet Karen. Thank you. I tell myself when I am crying in sadness for her that there are several families crying with happiness for the second chance at life they received from our Callie. Janetr OKC

Happy birthday dear friend. I'll be 72 on November 5, so not far behind. Enjoy your day! Janetr OKC

Barbara So Oregon ..."JanetR’s farming adventures, but sounds like too much work for me…" oh dear, I didn't mean to be misleading. We do not take care of the property nor the animals. It belongs to our son and DIL, and their two boys 13 and 12. They do the work, we enoy!!! Lol Janetr OKC

Thank you, sweet friend. She and I did so much together. I miss her terribly. Janetr OKC

Allie's and Mary's posts regarding organ transplants reminded me of my granddaughter, 21, killed in car accident. she was an organ donor. Within a few hours of her passing they had lined up recipients for her heart, kidney, spleen and tissue. Her lung was too damaged. But they honor them and the families. As they wheeled…

Good morning my friends, my plan for October is to become more adjusted and comfortable in my new life. Sometimes I feel as if I were transplanted on the moon. So foreign to me. My husband was thrilled to move down here me, not so much. I have gained 7-8 pounds so first priority is to get that back off. Jack and I are…

That is so cute. I'm gradually learning. There is a gorgeous rooster. He's the most colorful I've ever seen. Below is a picture of the coop. I brightened it up with my cactus. 😀 i Janetr OKC

We don't have much going on today so we're being a bit lazy. It's nice for a change. Thank you all so very much for your sweet words. I have to tell you our few farm animals are spoiled. If they are out of the pens they come right over for a little petting. There is a male and female miniature donkey, the male is Earl and…

Thank you Heather, yes every time I think of my Callie, it feels like a kick in the stomach. Sometimes I feel like I can't survive, but know I have to. Jack's cardiologist changed some of the meds, he seems to be doing better but they are checking everything out. Janetr OKC

Hello dear friends. So much has gone on it seems like the a life time ago. We listed our home for sale on July 9th. It sold within two hours of the listing with pics hitting the MLS, three offers, top one was $20,000 over asking price. They wanted to close in three weeks. Lots if crazy, rushed packing. We moved about 70…

Good evening my friends. I've been going stir crazy with my hubby being gone for so long, I finally decided to get off my duff and do some yard work as he's not here to do it. Yesterday I cleaned the big uncovered patio and brought the cacti back outside. The first picture, in front of the small covered patio is a type of…

HEATHER oh thank you, I've never heard of a hoopoe, so I looked it up, how BEAUTIFUL. Between gorgeous iris and beautiful hoopoe, its been quite some time such having such fun in the wee hours of the night.>:) Janetr OKC

Iris have a very special place in my heart- My great grandmother used to raise/breed iris. After she passed away, my cousin and his wife did even more with the iris-going to many shows world wide. He has passed but his wife is still growing/breeding/showing. ( I guess that is what you call it- hybridizing is more like it I…

After having had both knees replaced several years ago, and then finding out about 18 months ago that the left replacement has slipped out of place, the orthopedic surgeon gave me the option of a partial knee replacement, I said no thanks. He recommended I forgo the treadmill and use the stationary bike, hence the cycling…

I am really enjoying our "post" (almost, kinda, sorta) pandemic stories. Though as awful as it has been to be separated from family and friends, not able be to dine out at restaurants, having to mask up to take a walk outside, I do believe it's given us all new JOY and a true thankfulness for all the little things we take…

PENNY I believe I shall miss your adventures and pictures of Longyearbyen nearly as much as you will, it's been quite a thrill. Thanks too for the welcome back. HEATHER I love your school picture. KELLY Thanks, sweetie, for the welcome back. Your grandsons too are so sweet, they're growing way too quickly. Janetr OKC

Ginny, I'm sorry for the confusion. Jack is my husband, so his brother is my brother-in-law. I call my sweet mother-in-law, Mama S. Hope that helps rather than muddy it further. Janetr OKC
