I sent a card, too, early this morning.  I imagine they have delivered it by now. 

I sent a card yesterday, but will try to send another one today.

I was out "car shopping" yesterday with my neighbors.  A couple really good possibilities, but we'll go again this afternoon, and check out a couple more car dealers.

I received the insurance check, for the total loss of my Corolla, yesterday.   

I've bookmarked the site and will try to send one every day.

Good morning from the still-overcast Oregon coast.  

Melaura, I have a great grandbaby that is 14 months, a grandbaby that is 16 months, so when you mentioned your little one, I just had to smile.  There are no others so sweet, so innocent, so full of promise as the just born.  I know you would have chosen to be married first, but we all make mistakes and receive the consequences that go with that.  You have this precious baby now, and your life is forever changed.  I'll add my prayers to the others here for all you and your little one need.  Our Father is so good at providing, as you know.   Thank you, honey, for telling us.  It's good that you are keeping a good foothold on making your (and baby)future a good one.  We know you are a good mama, cuz your mama thinks you are.   Bless you, sweetheart.

Me again. lol  I was so thinking of Melaura's little one, that I forgot to say anything else..

Jane, I'm glad you got your money and can find a car.  Also sooo glad that you have a man to go with you when you shop.  Those car dealers sure can be aggressive when they see a woman shopping for a car.

Etta Sue, your surgery didn't slow you down.  You are busy and involved.  I always like reading about your day.

Carol, I remember my husband used to use a headseat.  Not really a headset, but ear plugs.  We had to have the connection added to the tv, and then he would have it turned way up and I couldn't hear it so didn't bother my reading.  By accident we found that if the plug was pulled part way out, he could still hear well, and it wasn't high volume for me.  He was very hard of hearing, so you can imagine what it sounded like to the rest of us.    Sorry about your cold.  Hopefully it will run a quick course and leave you alone.

Larry, I'm sure your friends would rather have the laptop running smoothly than having lunch.  I know I would feel that way.   You are a blessing to others with your computer geekness.

Well I'm living and breathing  and have a pulse today, so that is always a good sign.  :thumb:  I am getting things ready for the trip, I just about have my small duffel bag all packed except for the last minute things like make up, medicine and other cosmetic type stuff. I have my camera bag ready with extra batteries and the battery charger.

Keith came in a few minutes ago and was on his way to Bandon for a meeting with  a client and the contractors. They will be  feeding him there so I didn't have to fix lunch for him.

It is still gloomy out, the weather channel said showers off and on all week, but that is not what the local weather man said, we just have to wait and see what  happens. I will walk the dogs   a little later anyway.

Have a very Blessed Day everyone.

Pumpkin bars will be coming out of the oven in five minutes -   you must wait until they cool & I will put a cream cheese & walnut frosting on them. 

Sorry, that is pecans - all I had was a big bag of pecan halves in the garage refrigerator. 

Listening to my old church channel that I have set up on Pandora - they want to throw in some things I don't like so I keep running over here to put in my thumbs down.

I don't think I have a cold after all.  It may have been an allergy attack of some kind - will know by tomorrow.  Thanks for your concern all.  I feel pretty special that so many mentioned get well and had interesting ideas.  Oil of Oregeno from JudyB - do you then smell like a dish of spaghetti?   

It smells divine in here - a heavenly smell of pumpkin bars for sure.......

Larry:  I will see what Don says about these - they do work well for us or otherwise, I could hear everything all over the house and it is nice when I want to watch & listen to something as well if he is reading.  We do try to accommodate each other at times 

Does the card site actually hand a card to the patient or is it a typed message?  Either way, it is so nice for us to let Janet and Beth know that we care about them.

OH now Carol that is not fair....tempting us with pumpkin bars and cream cheese pecan topping.   They sound wonderful!

No the oil of oregano doesn't stay and I haven't detected any odor.  It just works.

Kass made dinner tonight.  Mashed potatoes....they were actually whipped! with ground chicken mixed with peppers, onions, tomatoes, and thickened.  It was yummy. 

Exams are coming rapidly.  The stress has started.  I always hated school, and rarely passed an exam because of the stress.  Thankfully they do better than I did.

Got to go Kassie is going to read the Bible...Proverbs 9 for the 9th day of the month.

Carol, they type out the greeting that you type in.  Then they take that to the patient.


Melaura, did you see that we have an arcade on here?  Lots and lots of fun!  When I can't sleep at night sometimes, I come and play a few games.

Click on the Arcade button on the little blue tabs above.

Morning Everyone!

I drop in read often but time doesn't permit posting often...Appreciate reading about your days going on. Sounds like you are doing well...So glad to hear...

Still haven't met my flower garden deadline...which was May 31 then June 8-So now for sure it will be done within a week...Some of seeds I planted month or so ago popping up...I love it when it is filled in-which I have to remind myself-Patience is a virtue...

I tried to get info on Janet and Beth, not sure if I quite understand I went back 4-5 thoughts of weeks-So would anyone mind filling in the spots for me? I would really appreciate it....

Have to pick up my daughter and to the garden when I get back-Hopefully I'll feel like getting out there if it's not to hot...Whatever I start my day off sets the mood for accomplishments.

Just thought I 'd drop in. God is the blesser of our days...May he Bless yours....

Juanita, so nice to see your post in here.

Beth is Janet's daughter and she's been very, very ill and this last trip to the hospital was an emergency as Beth has many things wrong due to her condition of neurofibromotosis but while having surgery recently to remove some of the tumors, her bowel was perforated and she was five weeks that way before they realized and she's in critical but stable condition in Wichita.  Janet is having to stay in Ronald McDonald House while there 24 hours a day.

So, we're trying to send lots of cheery greetings to her on the hospital system.  I know she'd appreciate hearing from you.

Her name:   Beth Brandt
Room:        BC25







They will deliver your greetings from Mon. to Fri. during business hours.

I thought you might be interested in what one of the youth group in my church wrote to the local newspaper.

Thank you~Pat. I wonder if they'll insert a small cheery photo in the greeting???...hmmm....

I got a call last night that we are having Red Hats today so I have a little bit of time before I have to get dressed and over to Ivalou's house to be picked up at 11am. 

No, the surgery hasn't slowed me down much.  A much better night last night and I talked to the InterStim Therapy nurse yesterday and she told me to be patient...sometimes it takes time for the procedure to kick in! 

My friend in Mexico that lost his MSN IM got it back last night.  He tried doing a restore and either wasn't doing it right or at least, it didn't do right.  But he was searching in some folders for something else and found the download file, maybe .exe file, for installing MSN IM so he sent me a Good Morning message today. 

Gotta go.  Rainy and gloomy today but still no SNOW!

Here it is well after noon and I have missed Pat's Birthday!

A very Happy Birthday to you, Pat.  What are you doing to do?  Whatever it is, be blessed.

I have had Maycie Doodle Bug since last night so haven't had time to get in here.  She takes ALL my time when she's here.   Right now she's in her high chair eating lunch, so I sneaked in to say hello.

Hi, Pat, Happy Birthday from the South!

Hope your day is a great one.

Y'all have a good 'un, too!

Ruth Ann

Yes-Happy Birthday Pat!!!

I only just discovered the calendar earlier...There's a few things I still need to explore here....

I celebrate the day of your arrival in this world, Pat!  I celebrate all that God has given us in you.  I celebrate YOU!

Hi everyone and Happy Birthday, Pat.

I just got home from choir practice.  We had only about a dozen choir members there.  Next week may be our last choir practice until August although we will be singing the next three Sundays but have the music just about ready and always have a rehearsal on Sunday morning.

Today after Bible study I went over to my friends house and helped her get her computer back on the internet.  She still has dialup and somehow had gotten the wrong number in the dialup dialog.  I then tried to get a new printer she had installed but that effort wasn't successful.  She is getting cable DSL on the 24th.  I heard back from my friend from Maryland that the work we did on his computer had really speeded it up.  We had a nice visit with he and his wife and also had a nice lunch. 

It is late so will just say good night.

Pat is spending the evening with Andrew and the family.  Good for her.

Well the girls have finished on the computer, and I can finally check out the posts.  This has been a strange day,  Starting with rain and it is still overcast and trying to rain.

I have to go into NBay tomorrow, so I will be off to bed early.  Have a good night everyone.

Good night, Judy. 

My little ggranddaughter went home around 2, so I've been "resting" ever since.  And watching videos of her that I took with the digital.

The dogs are so happy she's gone. lol  I know they'll be glad when both of the girls are older.  Megan never bothers them, but Maycie wants to touch them all the time.  Touching works with "nice" for awhile, but there's always that need for a power hug which turns into a hair pulled.  I have to keep her away from them all the time.  One of these days.......they'll be begging for her attention, and her food.

Larry, I think you should come to Coos Bay and work on a friend's computer.  She has DSL, her computer has as much memory as mine, CPU is same, but her computer is so slow.  With everything we've tried, nothing changes. Defrag, cache deletion, temp, etc.  I use Windows Advanced Care as a free program that optimizes and cleans the registry.  Maybe that's what she should do.  I guess some use CCleaner, but I onl use that one to clean up.

I'll say good night now and see you tomorrow.

'Nite, Nita .... see you tomorrow  

Hi, Jane.  I had my post written and the phone rang, so I was talking to Kim and forgot to post it.   See you tomorrow.

Good Morning everybody!

I'm feeling 'bright eye and bushy tail'.

I am usually up this time every morning but dont get on the net until DH leaves for work... Our day starts at 4am if were not hitting the snooze button,lol.

I hope your day is full of love to God and to one another.

Thank you my friends for being here!

juanital,  There is no way I could be bright eyed and bushy tailed at that time in the morning.  It is normal for me to be going till late in the evening instead.

Pat I hope you had a good time at Andrews.  Did Janice join you there?  John was parked in Janice's town last night.  HE had an AM delivery there.

I have to pick Melaura up at 8:30 AM so I have to get going today.  I had a rough night last night, Couldn't sleep for anything.  My mind was too busy.

Be back later

JudyB

Pat ~ I am sorry I missed your birthday yesterday!   

Well, we got a terrible storm last evening and even a power outage.  So no wiener roast/picnic in the woods this weekend.  The lane is a tad bit lower than the fields so it is last to dry out.  Sure don't want people getting stuck in the lane!  Them and the lane would suffer.  Right now I am living on lake front property!  So hopefully it will be dry next week, the 20th!

Just got a call from Ivalou and Betty, our friend from church that goes to Beef and Boards with us and also went to Florida with us...her son lives about three miles away.  They lost a big tree last night.  The tree fell on the granddaughter's car and the son's car.  The grandson's car and DIL's car was in the garage and okay.  There is a shed on the property and half of it fell in on the son's pickup truck!!!  They have a porch with cement blocks for railings and all the porch furniture was blown out into a field!  Sounds like a mini-tornado! 

Gotta go...Ivalou and I are going to Noblesville....to eat...what else, we don't know!!

Etta Sue:   Sorry about the problems that the wind caused.

Pat:   Belated Happy Birthday

Judy: Drive carefully which I am sure you always do.

Lots to do and feeling lazy but later on I will be headed out to the grocery store food we do need. I got a couple of stressful phone calls one is health related and other was just plain ....................... I sure wish I had no feelings and then I would tune them out and not even care.

Have a great afternoon and evening.    Ruth
