A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2605

Yes, I have been watching Delta's progress. It looks like you will. But hopefully in amounts you can handle.

Sweet dreams all.

Oops ! Looks like I forgot to come in and say goodnight.

Well, good morning. Drinking coffee.

Good morning. I slept well last night.. I'm getting ready to fill my ballot out and take it to a local box. I would love it if the political calls ended when the ballots leave the residence. But they will be coming in for another 3 1/2 weeks. Sigh...

I agree, Tina. Luckily for me, most of our political calls come on my cell phone.

I am sick to death of politics and politicians. Just now started to rain and for the first time since we've lived here, 20 years, my head got wet in our driveway. Even in high winds that big tree we just had taken down blocked the wind and rain from the driveway. I miss that tree.

The athletes at Darbi's school had to be test for covid. She came back negative but the email said "your result of 10/6/2002 is negative but may be in error." What the heck does that mean? Another person received a letter from the local testing site saying his results were negative but he hasn't been tested. A person my hair dresser knows received a letter saying their insurance denied their covid testing claim but she hadn't been tested. What in the world?

Is today Thanksgiving for Sunny?

Monday is Thanksgiving here Bestofour but we are going back a step due to a Covid outbreak...there'll be no gathering for anyone sadly.

We lost power yesterday, got it back last night....then had no phone or internet for over 24 hrs.

So sorry you lost power, Sunny. Glad it is back on!

Sheri, oh my goodness. I love my trees. So sorry you had to take yours down..

We are forecast to get rain tomorrow. 1 - 3 inches. I need some dry time to take the kids their pumpkin that I painted for them. Can't do that in the rain. Wish me luck.

Did you get a pic of the pumpkins for us, Carol?

Sweet dreams all.

Here is a picture. Sorry it is not a very good photo. The light in the kitchen made it look a bit off colored. And I was hoping to show you all the gold thread on the horn that defines the different colors and the shading on the pumpkin..and oh! The ears are painted with a go!den ivory pearl, and I put some pink chalk inside the ears.

Thanks for asking. I had fun doing it.

Very cute!
Sweet dreams all.

Thanks, Tina ! Sweet Dreams.

I too am going to sleep soon. Nite Nite.

Good morning.
Sadly I have been up for about 25 minutes. It is going to be a long day. But hey, the coffee is good.

Your pumpkin is beautiful, the multi colored horn really sets it off.

It is really cooling down here quick, those heavy winds we got really took out all the pretty colored leaves too fast.

As of today, I will be finished with my flooring(minus the quarter round trim because I still haven't bought it yet)...I cut my index finger and had to stop, of course it is on the opposite hand of the one I smashed.

Thanks, Sunny. I hope the girls like it.

Glad you wil be finished with the flooring soon. I am sure it will be beautiful. Please be careful.

Sorry it is cooling off quickly for you, Sunny. Is a warm patch ( Indian Summer) too much to hope for ?

It is supposed to be in the mid 70's here this werk, then I guess it will begin to get cooler.
You would think that I would have a better handle on the weather here by now...but nope.

Good morning. I've been up since 4 am. A nap will happen.

I hope you get a nap, Tina. i will not. I will fall asleep on the couch about 7 sleep.for.aboit 15 minutes, and that will.be my nap.

I went over to Valarie' s today. The girls and I played Hide & Seek. It was a.good time.

I did nap, 2 short ones. It was good.

Junie that is so cute. I used to have cute stuff that you sent me but a cleaning person broke it. Or maybe it was the child she brought with her one day. Who knows but I miss it.

Johnny had to be tested for Covid today for a colonoscopy on Wednesday. This is his second testing. Both times he says they ran a swap around the inside of his nose not into his nose like some of the stories I've heard.

I had my hair cut yesterday for the first time in a long time and it's a mess. The right side is longer than the left and the sides are shorter than the back. Awful.

Think I'll go to sleep a little early tonight since I've been wanting to sleep all day and just haven't done it.

Sweet dreams, Sheri. The good thing about hair is that it grows (most of the time).

Yes Sheri ! The good thing about hair is that it always grows back...when we were kids, my cousin' s boy friend told her that when she not only got her hair chopped, she had it died some awful color as well. .Tina saying what she did made me remember him saying that and I laughed.

If it helps, when I got my hair cut back in May, I had my lady cut it shorter, so I would not have to go back too soon..well it is chopped..I cannot make it look good no matter what I do. That will be the last time I tell any beautician to change what they have done. If I had of kept my mouth shut, it would have been perfect, and most of the time I could have just washed my hair and it would have dried perfect. Oh well, you live, you learn.

I sent you a gnome, correct ?? Which one was it. If I ever get back to my ceramics shop, perhaps I could replace it.

So sorry Johnny is having to be tested so often. I sure hope he does not come up as positive.

G'nite all .......sweet dreams.

Sweet dreams, Carol.

Good night ? Tina. Sleep Well !

I gave up on going to the hair stylists a long time ago Sheri....cutting my own seems to be working out so far.

We had thunderstorms last night, the lightning lit up the sky....it was cold all day so I have no idea where the storm came from.

Good morning. I am so glad you are ready for what winter brings, Sunny. It sounds like it could be a sloppy one.

Messy winters...oh my ! Well at least our covid preparedness will help us thru that as well.

Have I said before ??..I do not like winter. Fall I love it yes, but not winter.

Goodnight sleep well, my friends.

Good morning. Happy Monday !

Wow, it must be Monday. I got up at 4 and then went back to bed where I woke at nearly 9. I had so much to do I didn't get here 'til noon. And nobody else has been either.

Well I was here, but I was sure the Lone Ranger. You must have really needed the sleep. So glad you were able to get it, Tina.

Yes, I refreshed the page twice before posting that. But your post didn't show up until mine did. Just more craziness to my day.

I never got a chance to check in today...I was busy.

That has happened to me too, Tina. It looked like I had not posted this morning until I refreshed several times...Computers are "wonderful".......NOT.

Sunny, you were missed.....glad that you checked in.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Your Thanksgiving is all put away, Sunny? Are you ready to start all your Christmas baking/cooking now?

Christmas baking.....First I will make Halloween sugar cookies. I bought orange/black jimmies to put on them. I do not have much orange colored sugar left.

Dropping in to say goodnight. sleep well my friends.

Sweet dreams, Carol.

My Christmas baking comes later Tina, I have to wait until my pork and beef is processed to see how much room I have left in the freezer.

My mother dropped off some of her turkey so I only had to make all the fixings. (she never quarantines so I refused to go over), we'll have hot turkey sandwiches today with the leftovers.

Junie, what is a jimmie?

Sprinkles, chocolate shots, those things decorative on doughnuts, etc.
Good morning. Hot turkey sandwiches are what I live for.
