Re: ODT SUNDAY 23 AUGUST ~ SAT 29 AUGUST

SANDRA they are funny!!! Too sad to lose both Dolly & Tim Curry in a day, I loved him in Clue, (plus he was fantastic in Rocky Horror)  he was so funny, he played some quite different roles, he was in a Criminal Minds episode and he was SCARY, awful character, he did it well.

DEVONNE YIKES 23,000, I just can't imagine, how do they do drop off and pick up?? So many, I guess it's like a small city. I hope he enjoys it.  Hope Gracie is OK, they are having issues with Oscar at the moment, I saw him this afternoon he seemed ok, was racing around, he had tummy issues (and the other end LOL ) I suspect he might have either eaten something outside or been bitten by something, John stayed home from Uni today to make sure he was OK.

SANDRA hope you get some good results from the heart monitor, my Dr had to change my BP meds, but now I think it might be too low, I will do some more checks in the next few days, it was low today. Always something isn't it

HOLLY we will be having your temps next week, it's been cool nights, and warm days, but next week it will be early summer for a few days LOL I dislike those  temps, I have also got to use more from the freezer, I found some bacon - used that up for chowder tonight. I understand about the school - the boys has grown to almost 3,000, but they have new buildings to cater for them, it was only 2,000 when John started. The new buildings are great, Dean won't see the last ones, but it doesn't bother him LOL

INDY shame you never got to Dollywood, I don't know anything about it, guess it's like Elvis's property? Julie went there, she said it was interesting, like a museum. I hope the clean up is closer to getting done for everyone, and that your power is on, maybe they had to cut it off to do repairs? Enjoy lunch!!

It's been warmish today, still a cool wind blowing, I picked up Dean after training. And I have received the book I ordered from Jen Kingwell, it has recipes as well as patterns. I have been playing with a jelly roll I picked up at camp, it's all blues and creams, I have wanted to do something like that for a while, I sorted them out and it may work for one of Julie's patterns, I will need a little extra, final decisions when I go the LQS to see what they have to match it, it's an old range, but blue is difficult to match, it's a dull blue, called Indigo Blooming (Moda) .

The Mr is still coughing, he has spots in his lungs, he will need further scans, but it looks like it's treatable, can't worry about it too much till we know what it is, he has had exposure to asbestos many years ago, and it's possibly related, his specialist has it all documented and he sees him again next month. He has had pneumonia so many times his lungs are badly scarred from that too.

I need to tackle my sewing things, I just dumped them last weekend, and I did just toss a few things around before I went LOL So tomorrow that will be my task

 


(((hugs))) and prayers

Re: ODT SUNDAY 23 AUGUST ~ SAT 29 AUGUST

WHAT????
1.  MY GRANDFATHER SUFFERS FROM OLD TIMER'S DISEASE.
2.  HE'S CUTTTING OFF HIS NOSE DESPITE HIS FACE.
3.  SHE IS LABORING UNDER A MISSED CONCEPTION.
4.  THE MEN WERE ARRESTED FOR MISTER MEENERS.
5.  THE DINING ROOM FEATURES THE COLORS OF SEAFOAM GREEN AND MAUVE WITH CHIP AND DALE FURNITURE PLACED THROUGHOUT.

ANOTHER DELIGHTFUL DAY.
DEVONNE......GOSH, WHAT A BIG SCHOOL.  ALMOST AS LARGE AS SOME OF THE BIG COLLEGE CAMPUSES.
I HOPE GRACIE IS DOING BETTER TODAY.
HOW SWEET OF GREG DELIVERING YOU CHIPS.  I HOPE HE GOT A BIG HUG FOR THAT ONE.

JUDY.....I  FRY MY STEAK IN BUTTER AND ONIONS.  THEN I USE THE BUTTERY GRAVY TO DIP MY BREAD INTO.  MMMM GOOD.
IN THE WINTER OF 1998 OUR STATE SUFFERED A HUGE POWER LOSS WITH MANY WITHOUT POWER FOR NEARLY 30 DAYS.  A FREAK ICE STORM THAT TOOK DOWN MILES OF MAIN POWER LINES FROM NORTH TO SOUTH.  THE POLES JUST SNAPPED IN HALF.  YOU COULD SEE MILES OF THEM AT A TIME JUST STICKING UP LIKE BROKEN STICKS.  STRANGELY ENUF IN OUR LITTLE TOWN OF OLD ORCHARD BEACH, MAINE, WE LOST POWER FOR 3 MINUTES AND THEN TAPPED INTO THE NEARBY MASSACHUSETTS POWER SERVICE WITH WHOM OUR TOWN HAD A PLAN.  GENERATORS THAT WERE OUTDOORS WERE OFTEN STOLEN TO BE SOLD ON THE BLACK MARKET FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.  IT WAS A TERRIBLE TIME WITH WORKERS COMING TO OUR AID FROM ALL THE OTHER STATES WORKING DAY AND NITE TO RESOLVE IT.  NO FUN FOR THOSE WITHOUT GENERATORS OR THE GAS TO RUN THEM.

I DIDN'T MAKE IT TO BINGO LAST NITE.  I HAD ONLY GOTTTEN ABOUT 3 HRS SLEEP THE NITE BEFORE.  SO DARN RESTLESS.  I WENT TO BINGO ONCE BEFORE FEELING TOO TIRED AND DID NOT ENJOY IT SO THIS TIME I BEGGED OFF.  GOT LOTS OF SLEEP LAST NITE SO AM GOOD TO GO TODAY.  ITS THE LAST DAY FOR OUR FREE FARMERS MKT BY THE FIRE STATION.  I HOPE TO GET SOME SALAD MAKINGS TODAY.
I DID SOME PINNING ON MY SAMPLE APRON YESTERDAY IN CASE WE HAVE TIME FOR CRAFT MORNING AFTER FARM MKT.  I NEED A HAND-SEWING PROJECT FOR CRAFTS.  I PINNED THE OUTSIDE EDGES SO I CAN HEM THEM BY HAND.  IT SHOULD KEEP ME BUSY.

STAY SAFE LADIES.  HUGS FOR YOU ALL.  QB S

Re: ODT SUNDAY 23 AUGUST ~ SAT 29 AUGUST

Ladies, I meant 2,300 students, lol! I can see why you thought it was like a city. It is huge though. Greg doesn't get in the line for pickup. He parks and Carter walks to the car...it's really close!

I threw away a bunch of out of date spices. I organized my pantry a few months ago, but I never had time then to go thru all the spices. I got half of the island cleaned, and had to take a break. This back pain is for the birds! I will take two Tylenol so I can finish the kitchen and get my trash out.

Do any of you play June's Journey? It's frustrating when you can't go to the next level because you have to buy from the shop. I don't like for my "private island" to be so crowded, but they make you buy things to continue playing.

Re: ODT SUNDAY 23 AUGUST ~ SAT 29 AUGUST

LOL, Devonne, that’s a more realistic number for a high school! 

We had a real monsoon! Flood warnings coming on the phones and the Alexa’s, thunder and lightning, as dark as twilight out. It lasted a couple of hours, and the sun is just starting to peak out. We probably won’t get to see the eclipse tonight due to clouds. 

Sandra, I hope you had a good farmer’s market trip, that is such a great thing! Heather had brought us tomatoes from her garden, and we had bacon and tomato sandwiches for dinner. I still haven’t bought lettuce. 

With the beef recall that sounds so dangerous, I’m only buying beef at the Amish market. I still have some in the freezer, so I don’t have to buy any in the near future. 

The staff is back in some of our local school districts, I’m so glad I don’t have to be part of that! 

Cheryl, how are you and Dean holding up?
