A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2547 - April - Well, almost

10:21am

Well I got 4 hours sleep last night, but hey I got a bit more cleaned out & my pictures ordered. Well all but the ones of the girls & their brother.

is it a Federal Holiday?? I have not seen my Postman yet.....

7:35 PM EST

Not a federal holiday. Maybe your postman snuck by.

Sunny hope everyone is on the mend today.

I hosed the pollen off the screened in porch today. It's nice sitting out there this time of year.

8:49 pm
Our Postman came 1 hour late this morning. I am thinking that they all began 1 hour later than usual.

I envy you your weather, Sheri. I am nowhere near being able to think about such as screened in porches. Not that I have one, but even if I did it is far too cold her yet to be thinking about such as the outdoors yet.

tomorrow I am going to take my Mom to a Drs. appt. then on to ceramics. snow today & tomorrow it is forecasted to be around 67*F. Lordy I sure dislike Illinois for its weather changes.

10:54 pm

going to bed soon. I will see you all tomorrow.
Tina, you are MIA I hope all is well with you and yours.

Sweet Dreams

Sweet dreams everyone.

Mail came an hour late today. I am thinking that the Postman came in an hour late. A win win for them all.

I envy you bring able to hide off your porch, Sheri. Even if I had one, it is still too cold here to do such as that.

Ps: I wrote this post both on my computer and on mytablet... I wonder if it will be one post or two ?

6:56 am

Great...Great....it is foggy..and there will be hail this afternoon. So I will get to go to some ceramics, after I take Mom to the Dr. But I am probably going to have to come home and not go to lunch to avoid getting my car plummeted with hail while I am out to lunch.

I wish you all a good day !

Good morning. I went looking for good news this morning before coming in.
I hope everyone has great Tuesday.

well the good news is that I got to go to lunch and that we missed the hail.. I have been home 30 minutes & we have just begun to get heavy rain. We shall see what happens next.

I am glad you missed the hail, Carol.

Aubry and I went to the movie and Target today. She had $55.00 and Johnny gave her $10.00 so she spent 65.00 on stuff she doesn"t need. At first I tried to direct her spending but then I figured if Shelley sent her with it I wasn"t going to fight her. It"s not junk to her. She bought clothes for her American doll and paid $8.00 for some type of squishy peach stress reliever. Then we looked up DIY projects on the computer. She loves doing DIY projects. We sat on the screened porch. Fun day.

Colby had a well appointment. He"s 5"5” and weighs 133 pounds. I think that"s the 70th percentile. Good.

Well, sounds like you had a good day Sheri.

Today is my Valarie's 38th birthday. We will see her this coming weekend.

Happy birthday, Valarie
Sweet dreams all.

Well, I am not tired but I really should go to sleep.
Thanks for the well wishes to Valarie, Tina.....
Sweet Dreams, everyone....

Hi all. I spent the day yesterday running the grands to doctor and dentist appt's.

School was cancelled again...another storm day. We are getting a nasty one for this time of year...over 16 inches of snow for today. It feels like spring will never get here.

Well, that sucks, Sunny. I hope it is followed by thaw.
Good morning. I am up and thinking about coffee.

8:27 am

I am just up too. Sorry for the sick children and storm that is coming. I will hope that the forecasters are mistaken.

Today I will be removing my previous moments from my curio cabinet, so the cabinet can be moved.

I wish you all a great day !

11:10 AM

Junie, where's the cabinet going? Are you already packing things? Happy birthday to Valarie. Johnny's grand daughter, Alexis, turned 21 today. Time keeps passing me by.

Sunny, sorry about the sickness and the storm. Hope it all changes tomorrow.

I'm dizzy today so I won't be doing anything outside. The sun is shining but it's very windy so I may not even sit on the screened porch. Maybe I'll go back to bed.

Tina, hope you got that darn sticky A unstuck. I needed a laugh.

2:43pm

Sheri: I hope you feel better soon. Well, the curio: Rod was going to paint in the hall where the curio sets. Now he is going to wait until we move furniture out--but it needs to be packed up anyway.

Gracious..it is still sunny & cold..I have rested a bit and had a soda so now I must get back to work. "See" you all later.

Going to finish watching about JFK then off to bed. I was 11 when he got shot. I remember it like it was yesterday.

Good night all.

I was just under 13. I remember too.
Sweet dreams, Carol.

Hi all.

Sheri, have they still not found a reason for the dizzy spells? Hope today is better.

We got another two feet of snow. It took me an hour to dig out my car and now my hand snow blower is acting up. I think the storms we get are too much for it to handle. I need to start the tractor to deal with it all later...I have more snow now then we dd all Winter....you can't even see the houses from the road.

I'd move in a heartbeat if I was able....I am 45 going on 80 lately.

I am sorry, Sunny. That has to be awful.I couldn't do it. I hope the grands are well?
Good morning. It is going to be a good Thursday. I can feel it. I hope it is for everyone.

Oh my Sunny. That sounds terrible. I pray for a real spring every day.
I hope the grands are feeling better also.

I wonder how Sheri is doing ?

I have one of my 2 Precious Moments containers packed up. Well the PM's in that container are packed up. I will soon pack the boxes back in the container and then start on the 2nd container.

3:51 PM EST

Sheri feels better. When Shelley was 2 years old I got an inner ear infection that laid me up for 2 weeks and I've had dizzy spells since. Sometimes I need an antibiotic and sometimes not. I sort of think yesterdays issue was more of a sinus thing though because it was overcast and damp. Who knows. But I'm better. Thanks for being concerned.

Sunny, I keep saying it but I CAN NOT imagine.

Tina, hope you're having a lovely Thursday.

Well I am glad you are feeling better, Sheri.

and you are right....I cannot imagine all that snow that Sunny gets, not to mention having to deal with it.

well, I am off to go fix supper..TTYL

going to sleep soon...g'nite everyone

Sweet dreams, Carol.

Hi all.

Thanks for the sympathy on the snow. I just feel so frustrated and 'blue'...I could just sit and cry. I think the thought of having to deal with this in later years is affecting me more than the situation at the moment.

Before the snow would melt in April...we'd get a few small storms into May that would melt in a day or two. We are at the first of April and have more snow than we have ever had, that I can remember. Snow for this afternoon and tomorrow with another brewing for Tuesday.

My windows need to be shoveled out but I am too discouraged to even start....bare with me 'venting' for a few weeks.

Vent away, Sunny. You deserve it. Does anyone there make a seasonable living shoveling snow off roofs and windows and things?
Good morning. It's Friday. I'll see what trouble I can get into after some coffee.

7:30 PM EST

We'll listen to you Sunny. I know you're sick of it plus you've had a good bit of illness in your house this past year. It will get better.

Sweet dreams all.

Truer words have never been spoken, Sheri. Sunny, we are all here for you and yours. Vent away my dear.

I am soon headed to bed. We are going to spend the weekend down with Valarie & her family

TTYAL

I wondered if you'd already left, Carol. Travel safely.
Sweet dreams everyone.

Thanks for listening. I feel better today...I guess I was just overwhelmed yesterday. I just needed a good cry and to stop feeling sorry for myself. My BIL now has a roof leak and my mom's friends garage fell in from the snow this week. I guess they have the reason to feel blue...not me.

Sheri, a few men make a good share of $$ with snow removal. Some do driveways, others do steps, windows and roofs. It is a must for everyone to move the snow or you'd never get out of the house.

I did get out yesterday for groceries and treated myself to a little 4 inch ivy plant from the grocers. It made me smile so I figured it was cheap therapy.

It is storming out at the moment again.

Cheap therapy is good, Sunny. I hope it is over for you soon.
Good morning. It is Saturday. I hope it is a good one for everyone.

10:44PM

It has rained all the live long day. Better than Sunny's snow though.

YAY for Cheap therapy ! We All get down every once and a while. glad The Ivy helped.

Did you get anything good to est, Sunny ? Treats are important too !

Sheri, rain is far better than snow, for sure.

Yes we saw 3 houses today, Tina. Nothing said "buy me". We will stay with Val until Monday morning.

I hope you're having a good time, Carol. and safe travels on the trip home.
Sweet dreams everyone.

Oh well, at least there were three to look at ...one has to start somewhere.

Yes Carol, I treated myself to a box of granola bars. I am trying to eat healthier but I love a sweet treat in the a.m.with coffee.

DH has gone to work...the roads are so slippery. They are not showing any snow for a few days in the forecast..we are ever so glad.
