9:30 here---just going to make some coffee & get cleaned up-going to wash clothes today---& wait for it to stop raining we got 1 and 9/10 last night
(inches of rain)

wjhat are ya painting red??/

Are you here Juniegirl? I'm going to get some pictures of my sunflowers and start a thread - maybe this afternoon when I get home from work.

That is great---I will get some new today (when it stops raining) & add to your thread---this will be so much fun!!!

A hay wagon frame...keeps the rust away..our equipment is so old.

Hi Sheri.

well I am glad ya got a wagon--we sold our trailor when we moved---
yea Sheri--bad manners of mine--I didnt say "hi" so Hello--

We have two old wagons..one needs a whole new wooden floor and sides. Which means we'll be cutting cedar soon to drop off at the saw mill next door...sometimes I honestly wonder why DH farms. I wish I had a full time job...just so I could work less

Got to go Carol..sorry. I need to get it finished, I have too many things to do today.

I'll catch ya later

that is ok.-- don't work too hard, Tamara.
I too wish I had a full time job for tha reason & for the obvious reason.

Sheri--did ya get my message??? dont you work too hard either---
I need to go and begin the washing machine--see ya' all later--

O.k. the wagon is all painted, I'm all showered up and yup red oil paint washes out to leave pink streaks in one's hair OMG, I'm as messy a painter as I am a baker.

Had some more things to do but decided they can wait another day...my insides are achy.

DD called~ she chipped out half her front tooth again(the filling just won't stay it seems..fourth time)..also found out because she is 19 and not working she is still covered on our insurance..I'll take her next week, the dentists office is so busy and backed up.

hi--I'm home mom---
Glad to hear that DD is still covered on your insurance---

Yup hit and no miss this time.

good deal----and BTW--I have not started my clothes washing yet---
I put up some meat into the freezer instead.

what is up for you this afternoon. my DH is gone for the afternoon
so here I am.

Well, it's 2:30 here and all the inside work is done..and I only have to throw some pork chops in the oven in a bit..so here I sit.

Chatting with DD on facebook also..she's tormenting for some maternity clothes..nope. I'll buy her a couple of swing tops and some stretchy leggings from the clearance shop when we go pick her up..it's a place that sells new but overstocked clothes from other stores..Not spending good money on clothes that will get discarded in under three months.

12;38 here--and it is so nice to hear that all of your work is done for now.
Rod is so tired of leftovers that I am making him hamburgers tonight. (he LOVES them) supper will be easy & he will be happy.


I hear that about the clothes. and new clothes are new clothes after all, so she should not mind.

I still have some basic outfits put aside from when I had my girls. not that either would wear them.

it has stopped raining now--& the sun is kinda out--weather is 64*F

Ya i told DD all the clothes now days seem to be made like maternity clothes anyway..the yoga gym pants have the belly band and all the T-shirts have an empire waste so...

you have a good point.
back in the day (during my first born) I bought a pair of maternity pants that had a stretch band in them so as to expand as the mother did. THEN one could wear them after as normal slacks. (but I kept mine as maternity because I figured a second one would come--

so really Julie will not need a lot of maternity clothes right??/
most of what she has should still fit???

She used to wear her clothes snug so not much is fitting..she's running around the apartment in boxer shorts and too tight t-shirts

I'm gonna check the second hand store down there as well. Most clothes are like new, maternity clothes only get worn a few months.

That is very true--and some people even spend a lot of money on them so she could probably find a nice outfit for the shower there---
would not hurt to check anyway.

hello, carol jean and tamara. just dropped in to say hi.
second hand stores are wonderful for stuff like that. I went just last weekend to get myself some shorts. I gained some weight when I was on crutches and none of my shorts fit anymore. I couldn't see spending a lot on new shorts that I'd only wear until I took this extra weight back off. I got 4 pair of blue jean shorts (some jeans that I whacked off) for 7 bucks.
well have a great day everyone.
gotta get going.

Hi Cricket---

I LOVE second hand stores..but just here lately they ahve removed the fitting rooms in several here. so I have not been lately. why would I want to buy something get it home & find out it is useless. No returns at ours here

They opened a new one in town here..next to the dentists office where DD has to go. I'm gonna check it out for myself.

great--and so convenient----The lady at the last re-sell it shop I went to told me of one that a church runs that has a dressing room--I need to go there & check it out for sure.

Yup, these days a person has to do what they can to cut costs..

I do work for my uncle to pay my internet..wishing I could make that deal for my power bill.

they sure do.--Rid just today asked me to remove all of the items that we dont need from power outlets---well, I told him our power/electricity this month was $98.oo so he should be happy with that.
he still took out the phone from the bedroom. :tears

I think I will buy myself an old fashioned type phone for in there---they are really inexpensive after all...

He took out the phone now that's cut backs.

Gotta go Carol, supper needs to be cooked. it was great chatting with you...til we meet again.

yes I need to go as well---and yes it was very nice---enjoy supper....
see ya soon...

no--I didnt make myself clear----we had a seperate cordless phone in o ur bedroom--so now we are just left with the 2 cordless & 2 plug in phones in the rest of the house...

Hi there everybody! Can't believe I missed Cricket!

Gee, Carol, I wouldn't give up my bedroom phone for anything because of potential emergencies. The risk doesn't seem to outweigh the couple of pennies a month no phone would save, to my way of thinking.

My attendant's last day is Friday. She has only been with me a month and isn't good at this work. She decided on her own to change careers and so will be working as a receptionist at a gym. I think she will like the socializing that job will offer.

I was unhappy today to discover that I've got a huge, monster sized package of chicken in the freezer! I never would have put such a gigantic pack in there like that.... I always divide them up for me 'n Maxi. So I'm thinking I might defrost it, marinade it in BBQ and cook it up for Maxi's Confirmation party. It would be tasty on the grill and there is certainly enough for a small crowd.

Speaking of thrift stores, Goodwill just opened a very big store just north of me about 10 miles. It is supposed to be the largest Goodwill in New England. I haven't been in there yet, but I've been told it is great.

Hi everyone! I've gotten ahead of myself here at work today and my co-worker is gone so I can use the computer and kill some time. I keep snacking and wanting more snacks! A few more days and I'll be done with these meds, phew. Then I'll probably want to sleep for a week, . The rest of the week and weekend is supposed to be pretty nice so I'm going to try to get some more weeding done this weekend. Last time I did it I only got the front half done so the walkway area is looking pretty crowded.

Yes, They only run on a tiny bit of electricity that comes through the phone line. And as long as the lines still work they work well even if the power is out. After a major fire swept through, my power was out for nearly 3 weeks and the cell towers were tough to use. I had the only working phone for all of my neighbors. I just had my phone lines redone in my house and made sure that one was still hooked up. It was very important to me. (it is a 35+ year old rotary dial phone)

well my big plan is to buy an inexpensive plug into the wall type of phone for the bed room Merme--I agree with you.

and both the Goodwill's & the Salvation army's around here, do not have the dressing rooms now---so sadly, for me, now basically it is a place to look for jackets & coats.

BTW: The Chicken idea sounds like a plan for Maxi's confirmation. I wish you luck with the plans.

When is the party again???
\
\Tina--I too have a wall phone that old. but it has a 25 ft cord so there will be no putting it in my beedroom. Years ago my oldest DD learned the hard way they needed a phone of that type. even with cell phones one needs to charge them, even wth car chargers it is difficult-
