A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2507

Sheri: therapy is a wonderful thing, esp. if one does the work the therapist ask you to do. (but then you know that)
Colby is young, so I think give him time & eventually he will be fine.
.......Slow & steady wins the race after all.

Going to bed soon G'nite all

I guess it takes time, Sheri. He has my best prayers for continued success though.
I'm tired again. Sweet dreams all.

Good morning. It is great to sleep through the night again. I think I will get some housework done today. And maybe some cooking ahead. It seems like a good day for it.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning ! Coffee in hand.

I tried to get my DH to go buy his truck license sticker, but I had no luck. So, I get to go next week in the rain---

It is overcast here. I do so hope that it does not rain. It is not supposed to, but......

Good evening...prayers for Colby. He is young and he will get through this

GG and I have been out all day, a few errands this morning then outdoor chores. Her making a mess and me cleaning it up

That sounds about right, Sunny.

ah yes, Sunny. But when she is grown she will remember all the times she "helped" you. it will be wonderful memories for you both.
You and she are lucky lucky ladies.

home from my shower. I have a living room full of gifts. ASAP we will be taking them down to Valarie.

I hope you had a good party.
Sweet dreams all.

Good morning.

It sounds like the shower was a success

Today will be another outdoor day....my back step needs to be sanded. Winter weather is hard on exterior stain on decks and steps. I also need to cut some finishing trim for the edges of the cedar shingles. I just use cheap strapping and run it through the table saw...saves a bundle.

Good morning. I went out first thing this morning and tackled foreign life with a rake. I'm in now and getting ready to tackle more with other tools.
It sounds like fun, Sunny. When I was younger and more able.

I hope you all have a good day.

...It was a grand party. and I got to "see" my Daughter if only on Skype.

Today we have already cleaned church, and did an extra good job. WE will be done cleaning church after next Sunday--so we thought to do an extra good job this week. After I rest I am going out and water some of my plants & see if I can do some weeding as well.

The good news is it is around 80*F and the sun is shining here.

What an eventful weekend you've had, Carol. I bet you'll sleep well tonight. I will myself, between clean bedding. Sweet dreams.

Thanks, Tina. It was a great time. Clean bedding---sounds good. I put clean bedding on my bed on Friday. I wish it was there tonight..I LOVE the feel of clean, fresh sheets. Enjoy my friend.

I did laundry tonight so I would mot have to do it tomorrow. and I washed my hummingbird feeders. Then I soaked them in bleach-water for an hour. They are not draining so I can fill them tomorrow. I know it is late, but what with the storms, I have not put them up yet...sad news is after tomorrow it may well rain again this week.

I went thru most of Valarie's gifts & re-wrote the list of her gifts. I hope she can read it...I am tired.

I think I will pack Rod's lunch and then go to sleep. nite-nite everyone. Sweet Dreams

Good morning. I am up a bit early but that's OK. It gives me more time to get ready for the day. I'm slower moving than I used to be.
It'll be a regular day around here. Teddy to school and stop to shop on the way home. Then clean and cook until it's time to pick up my boy again.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning.

It is a holiday here...the Queens birthday. So today I have another day with GG's help.

I shingled the third wall of the shed...slowly but surely it is coming along.

Sonny come do my little building. I've been looking at that thing for years and just can't get motivated to pretty it up even though it needs it really badly.

Sheri, I'm on my way

I have no problem with motivation....it's the money that always keeps me behind. Have you decided what you are going to use on your shed?

Good night. I didn't get a nap today. So I'm whooped. sweet dreams all.

Sunny---stop by M Y house on the way to Sheri's....

I should have gone to bed an hour ago..so I really should get to sleeping now--g'nite

Good morning.

Today I will have to take out the lawn mower for this season's first cut...too bad it's not grass getting mowed, it seems to be all dandelions.

Dandelions are edible, Sunny.
Good morning. My computer gave me a scare his morning. But it turned out to be the power cord and I have another. So I am good for now. My T's don't want to type but with careful editing I'll work with it.
Today is Tuesday. I hope it's a wonderful day for everyone. And a better one for me.

Sorry for your "T's" Tina----I think your posts looked perfect.

Yes, Sunny, go out & cut the green part of the dandelions off with say 1/4 of the root still attached. (young greens with small roots are best.) wash well and dress with your favorite vinegar & oil dressing. Mom also added a hard boiled egg that she chopped up to the dressing. makes a great salad. and it is free if you do not count the dressing.

Tina, have you ever wilted the greens. I cannot remember if we wilted dandelion greens or not.

I am home from ceramics.

They can be cooked, Carol. Also used for tea and medicinal uses.
I'm home for the night I am not going anywhere this evening. Bernie Sanders is coming to town to talk and I won't get caught in the traffic quagmire that will bring. It was already visible in the traffic today. A lot of people coming to town to see him.
My town, San Bernardino, has the dubious honor of being the most dangerous city in California. I drive by a city park on my way to school everyday. It is slowly being taken up by more and more tents with homeless. I am not sure why that is being allowed. But it is. When Teddy finishes with school, June 30th, I don't think I'll be traveling in that direction often.

I do not blame you for not going out, Tina. I can just imagine the traffic problems.

About the homeless. I wonder if they are letting it go until something bad happens. and if nothing bad happens, well then good for the homeless ???

We just went to a few cemeteries and put out flowers, for Rod's Grandparents, & 2 Uncles at one cemerary and then to his father, my father, & both of our grandparents at another.

I am very tired. I will soon be off to sleep. sweet dreams everyone.

I nice way to spend your day, Carol.

The thing with the park is odd. It is not carboard boxes and things. They are relatively nice tents. But it makes sense to let them stay there where there are toilets and things. And maybe kids but I have not seen any. San Bernardino is still restructuring after bankruptcy. It is in a sad state.
Sweet dreams all. I am heading to bed.

Good morning. Another early day for me. I will take Ted to school and do some home depot shopping today. I need a couple of things there. So a fun morning for me.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning.

I am washing bed clothes & cleaning today, as my Daughter is coming home from VA this weekend. They are staying all kinds of places, so as to visit with various people....I get Saturday night & part of Sunday.

back to work now--I wish you all a fun day.

Good afternoon.

I moved firewood all morning so I can get at the back part of the shed for shingling next week. My arms feel dead...getting older really bites.

Getting older really does suck, Sunny.
Great on getting a visit from you growing family, Carol. I am excited for you.
Good morning. I didn't do Home Depot today. I stopped by the grocers first and got a good deal on grass fed ground beef. So I brought that home to keep it cold and began cooking. I have ground beef stroganoff in the crockpot. That'll last us a couple of days.

Sorry you didn't get to go to Home depot, Tina--but it will wait for you.

Sunny--about the getting older---it is MOST certainly NOT the best thing that has ever happened to me either.

Off to watch my soap opera now--then back to house work. TTYAL

I am tired. I think I will call it a night a bit early tonight.
catch you all on the flip side. Nite-Nite.

Sweet dreams all. I am going to bed as well.

Good morning.

Tina, I hope you enjoy the beef...that is a treat here.

Junie, I think I need to learn to slow down at things...it is so hard to take a rest when we get weather that cooperates.

We had nasty storms last night, if anybody has a leak in their roof they certainly know by this morning

Not much planned for today, there is no school tomorrow so GG will be waiting for me after school.

Good morning. The beef was a treat for me. It is not often available here.
Today I have a meeting late morning. I will pick up Teddy from school then. I am already looking forward to my nap. That is so sad.

LOL..not to worry Tina, you are far from alone. I wanted a nap at 10am. I wish now, I had of taken one.
We do not eat much beef. But it is more b/c my husband prefers pork & chicken. NOT that I hardly EVER buy expensive cuts such a steaks anyway.

we had early morning storms.
I woke just in time to bring al of th stuff in that I needed to.
Now I must put part of it back out. The first half is aready back out.

I am back now to cleaning house. I wish I could find my small fan.

I have a fan you could borrow, Carol.
Teddy and I are home. I reheated some stroganoff and I'm about to take a nap.

I found my small fan----plugged it right in and it does not work---it looks brand new and worked great last year.

It is one of those small 6 inch metal fans. I am hoping to fine a new one soon. My DH is not a person who likes the A/C, so it will be sometime in June before I can convince him to turn it on.

Sorry about the fan...guessing a trip to Walmart is in your future. I need to get a fan myself, one that is on a pole that swivels preferably.

I picked up GG then ran a few errands and went grocery shopping. It is raining at the moment and for the next few days. It is going to be a long weekend I think.

we had a large high velocity fan that could be on a stand back at the farm. We never used the stand, and then the fan died...

Yes, I think a trip to Wal-mart IS in my future.....
