Good morning. It's a cool drizzly day here so I'll be indoors for the most part. But there is plenty to do.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Good Morning.  I too will spend most of the day indoors. It is to be rainy & possibly stormy off & on today. here in a bit we are supposed to get a break in the rain so I will go to the Grocery then. I am hoping to be able to do laundry in the rainy time. Rod told me we are supposed to have weather in the 40's for al of next week. So, me being cold will continue for days it seems. But now that I have complained, I must remind myself, there are no heavy snows or ice to deal with. I need to be thankful for that. I too wish everyone a good day !

Yes, staying in out of the drizzle. I planned my budget for the month. It is something I both love and dislike. But it is done now and April is tucked away. I also got all of my recycling together and ready to go. And fed us breakfast and washed up the dishes. I'm thinking of tossing together some type of pasta casserole for dinner.

I have gone grocery shopping, came home & took apart my chicken legs & put them on a lipped cookie sheet to freeze.
Then I took the burger that I bought and first took enough out for one meal, then made the rest into individual burgers.
The rest of the meat that I bought could be frozen in their individual packages. Tonight I am cooking Italian sausages for supper.
I will figure out what is going with them later.

I made chili mac for dinner. Along with some veggies and garlic toast. We ate early so we will be snacking later. I have leftovers for another meal or so too. I love leftovers.

Rod grilled the sausages outside tonight. I made rolls, butter noodles, & California medley to go with them. Not much left over I must say.  I love leftovers also. Heavy storms are headed this way. I will be back as I can.

Good morning. We are supposed to warm up today and dry up from our drizzly weather. That will be nice.
My plan is to get ready for the school week ahead today. So clean bedding and clean bodies are in order. Lay out clothes and such. Make sure lunch ingredients are packaged up and ready to go.
My baby's birthday is on Tuesday. It it hard to believe it was 22 years ago. They have been wonderful years. But I don't know what to get him at all. That is so stressful.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

YAY !!! Nana is cooking breakfasts again !!! How I have missed that. We went to church, to visit my MIL, then to clean church for a members wake. Then we finally went out to eat lunch. The restaurant looked closed so we went to a small Amish store nearby, & bought Summer Sausage & homemade bread & brought them home. We are now looking at dreary skies and waiting for more rain & storms.  I am hoping for warmth & melting snows for all of us.

Storming around here.
Oatmeal and blueberries. Yum. I have eaten all my frozen blueberries and they won't fruit again until around the first of June. Sure hope the birds don't beat me to them. I was going to eat some oatmeal at the hotel Friday but it was instant. Not a fan of instant oatmeal. Do you guys make yours in the crock pot overnight? Speaking of blueberries, I've got to stop eating crap. For the last 6 weeks I've been eating fast food and drinking Pepsi nonstop and I feel awful. I've got to get it under control.
We went to Saint Simons Island Thursday and came back yesterday. It was grandparents day at Colt's school and Ginger had his birthday party on Saturday. We stayed in a hotel instead of at Ginger's and it was very nice to be able to have a break. The hotels there are sort of expensive but I'm thinking I'm gonna do that every time. I didn't realize I felt so overwhelmed until I had a break from it all.
Tina, I'm always enthralled over your budget making process. Wish you could teach me how to do it.

My budget is just mine, Sheri. No one else is spending my money. I am sure it would be difficult with two people spending. It can be done but both people have to be on board with it. But it helps me to remember to make sure I have money put by for the few larger bills that show up intermittently; property taxes, memberships, insurance, etc.
Sweet dreams all. I'm exhausted.

Good morning. I slept well and long. I feel good except the nose. Hopefully that will clear during the day.
No Carol, It would drive you nuts to have anyone else in charge of your budget. It would me too.
It's going to be a lovely day here. I'll get a few things done.
I hope everyone has a good day.

LOL you know me well, Tina..
Good Morning. I have already cleaned church for a funeral today, (May is my month to clean church) went to get a routine blood test & am washing clothes now. Soon I will go and do some prep work for a Shower my sister is giving Valarie & the girls. Her DH will be giving Brian a diaper shower as well.
It is cool & overcast here today, but hey, it is not raining. That is a plus--
I wish everyone a great day !!

Carol, church members take turns cleaning your church? Is it the entire church? Not sure I'd want to be on that list. :)
A diaper shower is a good idea cuz can you just imagine diapers x 3. Lordy. What if they had to have cloth diapers. Oh my gosh. These are exciting times.

Hi all.
I see everyone has been busy.
I am so glad that they are planning a diaper party Junie, my daughter has not bought a diaper yet and probably won't need to until after baby's first birthday.
My DH just received a 6 month job lay off yesterday....when it rains, it pours it seems.

Good evening. Sunny, I am sorry to hear of your DH's lay off. I hope that something can be worked out. Tina, I agree, morning does come too soon. As soon as I fix Rod's lunch I too am, headed to bed. Tomorrow is Ceramics. Then after lunch, I will be going to my Eye Drs. I have not had my eyes checked in say 5 years, so it is for sure time to do so. I'll see you all after supper tomorrow evening. Sweet Dreams

Good morning. I was up for about an hour in the night but I'm good to go this morning. It will be a slower day than yesterday but enough to do.
Good luck at the eye doctors, Carol.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning, we woke up this morning to snow falling....thankfully it has turned to rain at the moment.
DH will be able to find some work in June....once the woods dry up enough that transports can haul timber on the secondary roads. Until then he will file for Employment Insurance. The worst part is that we have to go three weeks with no pay coming in before the benefits kick in.
Today I am taking a break...it's too wet to go outdoors and the indoors is already cleaned.

A day of rest is good, Sunny. If my house ever gets all clean at once I would have to celebrate somehow. I'd probably get out my sewing machine and create something.

I should have taken out the sewing machine but I have no material to do anything with. I need to buy some flat sheets if I can find some on clearance soon....I like the cotton fabric for projects.
I have been watching TV and researching things on the internet for most of the day....it has been quiet but also unproductive. I hope the weather cooperates tomorrow.

I can't imagine not having material around. I still have fabric around from my middle daughter from the early 80's. And I've added kid prints with my last two children. As well as pretty stuff I found on sale without any plans for.
For a few years my town didn't any fabric or sewing supplies at all. The Joanne's and places closed down and Walmart dropped the line. Walmart recently started back up with carrying fabric and things so I feel much better.

I too have drawers full of material. from baby prints, to satins, and yes even some feed sack material. AND I have a drawer full of lace and baby buttons. Perhaps I can get to use this now.
The Eye Drs. appt. went well. The Dr. said that since I have had cataract surgery in both eyes, my eyes have changed very little and will not, well unless something goes very wrong.
So, I did not have to buy new glasses. The up side?? he gave me a prescription for IF I break my glasses.

Good morning.
Tina, we have no fabric shop here so I have used up every scrap over the years making baby blankets as Baby Shower gifts. Fabricville is a 4 hour drive from here....so flat sheets it has to be.
I have went for a walk, done up the housework, did some yard work and it is still not lunch time. I need to grab a shower in a few and head out to do errands....school is cancelled for the rest of the week as well so GG will be waiting for me at 2 pm.
Have a good day everyone.

Thank You, Tina. I also like him. he has extra schooling and can prescribe medications for certain eye diseases so that is why I still go there. And hey, he was also a wealth of information on Retirement issues as well. IT WAS a good visit.
Sunny, errands. I run a LOT of them, It is a never-ending chore, and I hope that you have an easy day out today. The prize at the end of the day is getting to pick up your Grand Girl. Congrats.
Today it is more errands for me as well. But it is a nice day so that will be ok with me.

Good for you, Sunny. Have fun with your GG.
I ran errands myself this morning. Well just the bank, school and store. I'm going for some gift cards for teachers before I pick Teddy up from school. They will be the last ones they get. The last we will have to buy.
We nave chances of rain Thursday and Friday. That's a good thing. But I want all the things I need in the house before it gets here.

I picked up an end of the year card for GG's teacher but haven't picked up a gift yet...I need to do that soon. I also picked up my mom's Mother's day gift today but had to give it to her early. No big surprise...she gets lobsters every year  GG is outside with DH so I get a 5 minute break while getting her bath ready. I raked another big area of my lawn...well between the snow mounds

I keep a large Rubbermaid container full of odd gifts. That way I have a last minute gift handy or a filler gift if I need that as well. Too bad you do not live close to me, Sunny. You could come & see if there is something in my container that you could use.
It has proven quite handy over the years.
Supper is over & I think I will watch some TV now...

I got the gift cards for the teachers. That is a load off my mind (and wallet). I know they will like them because I got inside info.
Now I'm going to head for bed. Sweet dreams all.

Good morning...it is raining a bit but will stop soon. Then I will head out for a 15 minute walk. More yard work for today and I am loving being outside this time of year...no mosquitoes yet  I have a gift bin here as well but the only thing left in it is a doll and two craft kits. I need to start filling it once more.

Well,...No one has been in here since this morning.... I guess that everyone is out working in their yards today. I wish I had of been. I will try to do some outside work tomorrow. I think I will add new soil to some of my larger pots tomorrow. Then perhaps I will plant some of my newly purchased plants,..and hopefully I will also plant some flower seeds.  I am going to sleep now--night ...night.

I am going to bed. It has been a long day. Sweet dreams all.

Good morning. Yay for new plants and flower seeds. I can't wait to start planting here...until then we will keep busy with yard work. We are down to just one big mound of snow in our yard I have a few errands to run today or tomorrow...depending on the weather. It is raining at the moment. Have a good day everyone.

Good morning. It's raining all over So Cal except here. We are under a flash flood watch and it is bone dry out. Maybe it's coming.
I am not going to take Teddy to school today. Black Butt is in poor shape. I think he has had a stoke. So we'll stay with him today. He doesn't appear to be in pain so we'll just try to keep him warm and comfortable and see what the day brings.

Prayers for Black Butt. It is so hard for older pets. I do not blame you for staying indoors today Tina. Staying safe is a good idea, and I am sure that BB appreciates the 2 of you being there with him. A win-win. My plants: 4 tomato plants (celebrity) a sage plant Osteospermum, Orange 2 spikes 6 (or 8) regular sweet potato plants 2 verigated sweet potato plants 2 new Guinea impatients 3 petunia plants That is all I got for now... most of the flowers are for a large pot in the front of the house. veggie & herbs are for the back of course. Osteo is for the flower bed in the back. I have 2 smaller beds within the large bed in back that I like to plant wild flower seeds in....that too I will do today. I will finish my coffee, then begin cleaning the house. This afternoon I will begin to plant. I hope your day if Errands goes well, Sunny. I too wish everyone a great day

They sound lovely, Carol. I am not going to plant anything this year again. We still have a water problem. The two baby fruit trees I put in last year were struggling and it looks like one didn't make it.
It seems as though Butt has recovered from his problem this morning. Not completely but he was able to rise and go out to take care of business. Then he looked at his food and water and decided a nap was more important. So I may have him a bit longer. I have mixed emotions about that but I will baby him along for now as he isn't in pain.

About planting: I am not putting in any garden plants this year other than a few Tomato plants. The Sage is to replace the plant I had to pull from my Herb Garden. I am only going to add a few pots of flowers this year. IF I get asked to go to my DD's this summer, the less Rod is left to care for the better I think. \I am glad that BB is feeling better, even if just a bit. That is a good thing. Sadly he put me in the mind of Dante. First we regulated him to the kitchen & its tile floor. Then when he could not go down the stairs any longer to go out to go potty and had to struggle to even get up, we did what we had to. It was a sad time. It is supposed to get up to 80 this afternoon. I am looking forward to going outside to "play" with my plants.

Good night my friends. I know that I'm tired because I had such a rude awakening this morning.
Black Butt hasn't eaten much today but he's generally stronger than he was. So that is good.
Sweet dreams all.

Good morning. I am so sorry about your dog Tina, it is a hard thing to watch anything you love suffer. I hope that today brings a better day for all of you  Carol, that sounds like a nice variety of flowers. GG and I ran errands yesterday...and we bought our seed potatoes and the rest of our seeds that we need as well. The nursery shop is not open yet so we have to wait to get our tomato plants. It was a long but a good day.

Good Morning !
I did not sleep much last night--but oh well--Perhaps sleep is over-rated.
Today I am not going to do much.
Since my girls are not going to be around, I am treating me to a special Mother's day weekend.
And in my scenario, I will be doing as little as possible. THAT will be my treat.
Going now to finish my coffee and then call to see how my MIL is doing.
I wish you all a great Mother's Day Weekend !

I puttered around this morning and got a lot of little cleaning done. Then Ted and I went to the store and bought bread and tea. And went to the bank to make a deposit. Now we're home for the day and I'm thinking of a little nap. Then I think Teddy needs a bath. He was out collecting pinecones.

OH my Pinecones----but hey, I bet he had fun !! I went out & planted a few more of my plants. Then I did some stuff in the house. Now I am all ready to go to my Nieces BBQ but it is a b it early to go yet. I got ready early b/c I too had to go to the bank--but I checked online & they must have cut back on their Saturday hours. So now I am ready early. TTY all much later tonight.

Have fun Junie. Tina, did Teddy look to take them all in the house? Kids can gather up collections pretty fast. I shoveled snow most of the day...at least it is all in one thin layer everywhere to melt. The neighbors think I'm crazy but by tomorrow night I'll have no snow left and they'll have half a yard full

That sounds like a good way to jumpstart your gardening, Sunny. And good exercise too.
No, Teddy did not bring any pinecones in. I have a 55 gal drum full and a box or two that I use for firestarters. But it's full so the rest will go to the green waste dump here on the ranch.
Teddy is bathed and shaved and will be all clean for mother's day tomorrow. Not that a lot is planned. My oldest daughter will come up. I may bake a pineapple upside down cake because I like them and haven't for a few years. Depends on how I sleep tonight.

Let t he neighbors think you are crazy, Sunny. YOU will be planting when they are still trying to get rid of snow....
Tina, glad that you got the days chores done. You are a better woman that I am. I will not even bake a cake...
The BBQ was nice.....Although we had quite the storm for a short time. WE had to go down in the basement for a bit, as tree limbs and leaves were falling like rain. Good news is it was not hail, b/c that is what it sounded like. I will say that even after I cleaned off my car, it still needs to be run thru the car wash to get the leaf parts completely off of it.
I am one tired puppy and will go to bed soon. Night - Night

Good morning. Happy Mother's Day I have never eaten pineapple cake...I bet it is delicious though. Junie, I am glad you had a good time....minus the car cleaning. It is raining out and we will head to town after lunch so that GG and her brother can celebrate Mom's Day with their mother....and I am treating myself to lunch at the pizza shop

Sounds like you all will have a good Mother's Day...That makes me smile....
Rod took me to a "different" place to eat Brunch. he said that we were pretending that we never go out for Brunch on Sunday & that this is special. Then he took me to buy some plants. he said he thought I would enjoy that, & that he wanted to do something nice since the girls were not going to be around.
Off to have some time outdoors before the next rain begins.

WE went to clean church then we came home. there was supposed to be a storm but apparently it has either passed over us or it is not here yet. Either scenario works for me.
I have a Drs. appt. tomorrow (check up only), so:
I am soon going to bed as well too. Night night. I hope that I sleep well too...

Good morning. I am glad Mother's day was nice to you all....it was a quiet one here. The grandkids got me a card and some Scentsy wax tarts, DH surprised me with cedar shingles. Enough of them to do the whole shed...I know it sounds strange to some but after wanting them for over 10 years, it is wonderful. And as crazy as this sounds as well, I am sitting here watching the snow storm outside. Every thing is covered.

Good morning. I was hoping your snow would be over and you could look forward to a longer than usual growing season, Sunny. But our mountains got more snow this weekend so none of us can rely on Mother Nature so much. I slept well so today is going to be a good day. I hope it is a good day for all.

I took Ted to school and stopped to shop (mostly for his lunch items). I stopped to fill my tank on the way home. Then I came home and put everything away and put Teddy's lunch things together for the next couple of weeks. I have to lock those away because anything left out is fair game to him. And he doesn't necessarily eat it, just opens everything. That is waste I cannot handle.
I'm going to take break until the next thing occurs to me.

Good morning....the snow has stopped, and melted through the night with the rain. It is still cold outside but my lawn is bare.  I spent the day yesterday cleaning then heading out to the shed to get a start on some projects. DH brought home an old barrel from the barn that I cleaned, sanded and bleached. I want to make an end table with it...it is now ready for varnishing when the weather cooperates. I can't wait to start shingling later this week.

Good morning.
That sounds like fun, Sunny. I hope the weather cooperates with your plans. I love that you are excited for cedar shingles. I reminds me of the odd requests I have made for odd things over the years. My heart still misses a beat in the tool department.
I will have a normal day of school and stopping to shop.
As often as I say I shop it is always for last minute stuff., milk and bread, etc. But I need to make some major purchases and I've been putting it all off. I need to get better at doing more at once to conserve trips out.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Tina, I love tool shopping...I wish I had all the new gadgets that they make these days. I have been wanting to shingle the storage/wood shed for many a years. It is just painted rough boards and the weather has taken it's toll. DH went to get a few bundles for me to start one side, then the sales guy showed him what they call 'seconds'..it is considered C grade(A is clear, B is small inclusions and C is 'shed grade' because they have knots and some are not square but for half the price he was expecting....I will make them due Just in to tell you that I have a cow in labor at the moment...I'll have details and maybe pics in the morning.

Good morning. We have a baby girl calf added to our family...I'll get a pic later when we leave her out of the barn. The mom is black Angus and we were told that the dad was a red Angus....well baby was born a light beige color. I am guessing Momma 'jumped the fence', so to say Yesterday I managed to get the siding on the house washed...was it ever dirty. I'd never go with white siding again if I had the chance to choose. Today I have already made molasses drop cookies and have a spaghetti sauce simmering on the stove. I need to go to town later to run errands and visit the Grands. I am hoping you all have a productive day as well...it is amazing how much energy I have when the sun shines.

A buff color is a good color for a calf. I am happy for you. Is the mamma a good mother? I bet your grands are eager to see it.
I am up to my eyebrows in neglected laundry.

Good Morning. I did not come back in last night. It was storming here, so I had my computer turned off & unplugged.
It is damp & overcast today but so far no more storms. I ended up doing a number of smaller chores yesterday. But, hey, they are done now...You are right, Tina, it does feel good to get things done.
I need to go to the grocery this morning. Then I may just go see my sister.

I went to the grocers this morning as well. I only needed yogurt and bread but ended up with more. I've put that away and munched on some grapes. On to the next thing.

Hi all,

I'm so sorry, Nana. It is so hard to outlive the next generation. And so hard with such a young mother. My thoughts are with you all.

I'm not ready for summer yet. It was mighty hot here today. But it's supposed to get better before it gets worse. So I'm not running coolers yet.
Ted's prom is tomorrow. Most Fridays they have a dance and tomorrow it will be the same except they want the graduates to dress up. I told Ted's teacher that if he has to dress, I'll just keep him home. He is not happy in clothes. It's more important that he's happy than dressed up.
That being said, I need to buy him some dressier clothes than his everyday sweats and tees. Like a pair of slacks and a button down shirt. In case we ever get invited to an affair where sweats just won't do. To be worn very rarely. He is so picky.

Nana: Such bad news you got. I am, so sorry for the whole family. That is indeed a bad situation. I am glad that so many of you will be able to be there for the family left behind. I know that will help them.
Tina: I hope that you work out the clothing situation for Teddy. He should have fond memories of his time at school after all.
I am way tired, and I need to go to sleep very soon.
So, I will say goodnight now---nite-nite...& Sweet Dreams.

Good morning. I am so sorry for your loss Nana Tina, would Teddy wear the clothes if he really needed to? I agree with his comfort being put first...you are a good Momma. I had a bad day yesterday...I had a cow in labor and despite all our efforts she lost her baby upon birth. I know it's a usual circumstance when farming but it is so hard emotionally. That being said I'll post the pic of the baby girl that was born 3 days ago. ![[Linked Image]](http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u104/tamara-carey/005_1.jpg)

So sorry you had a rough day yesterday, Sunny. I wondered.
Thanks for the photo. Such a cute little calf. That has to brighten your day to look at it, right??
Yes, Tina, I agree, you are a good Momma. VERY good.
I am soon off to look for some 11 x 14 frames. Wish me luck.

Good morning. I ended up awake a lot of the night and slept in. So Ted will miss his prom. That is not a problem. Someone else can be prom king. He doesn't like wearing things on his head anyway.
I will need to go out at some point today though. And I have plenty to keep me busy in general.
I am sorry about the calf that didn't make it. That is hard. The one that is with you is a real beauty queen though.

Sorry Ted missed his Prom, but I bet he is OK with that. I looked & looked and did not find my frames. BUT my sister & I did learn that one can spray paint photo matts to be any color that we want---so yay for that. I did my grocery shopping and picked up a few items for my Daughter & her girls. Just out of the bath now---I think I may watch some TV.

Good morning. Junie, I could not find 11 by 14 frames here before either...it seems that 10 by 13 is the new standard. I had to cut two of GG pics to fit. I spent the day shingling and it is slowly coming along....even more slowly with GG's help We ended up searching and finding a new born dairy bull for the momma that lost her calf. Dairy bulls are not kept on the local farms so they are sold to be raised for ground beef. It was so funny, the poor thing was only an hour old and taking his first drive home in the back seat of DH's truck. It will take about three days for her to accept him, we tie her and force her to nurse him...then he will slowly take on her scent and she will accept him as her own. We've did it twice before. Hoping today brings a restful day for you Tina. We are having three days of rain so inside I will be.

Good Morning. So glad that you found a calf for the poor Momma who lost her calf. Also glad that you will be able to help her accept the new baby. Now both will be happy. You also enjoy a restful time indoors, Sunny. Today we will go visit with my MIL. She was ill last weekend when we had planned to help her celebrate her Birthday and Mother's Day. We will celebrate both today. Very windy & much cooler today.  A cold front has moved in. I guess this year will be like others have been. One day we will have the furnace on & wear jackets & the next the A/C will have to be turned on and we will be hunting for summer clothing to wear. Crazy area.

Good morning. Today my plans are easy and simple. That should be restful enough.
I wish you well with the new calves, Sunny. I have never raised any animals for food. It would be difficult not to make everything a beloved pet. But I could if I had to.

Good evening all. It has been a long day being 'rained in'...but GG and DH went to town and GG made him buy tomato and pepper plants so that's another thing crossed off my list and I didn't have to leave the house

Bless your GG, Sunny. She is learning well !!
Not only did you NOT have to leave the house, and yet you still got plants, you got to be in a quiet house...a win win win.

sorry Nana. That's so sad.
Sunny, I didn't know you had cows. Sorry one died but the other one sure is cute.
Tina, Colt has a hard time wearing certain clothes. He can't stand the way they feel on his skin. Ginger used to try and make him wear things he couldn't stand sometimes and I pitched so many fits about it she doesn't anymore. It's just not worth it.

Yes, Ted likes T-shirts for instance but not when they have pockets. Nor graphics. The same with pants or slacks. That makes it hard to dress him, or easy depending on where he's going.
I am much like him as well. Things bother my skin a lot.
Sweet dreams all. I didn't do half of what I set out to do today. But I'm good with what is done. So I'll sleep well tonight.

Good morning. I have a nephew with sensory issues as well(Autism)....dressing him is a nightmare. No buttons, collars or snaps allowed. It has to be soft cotton and very loose fitting. It is still raining...so another day indoors is ahead. This coffeehouse is filled up
