That would be GREAT, Pat!     

Oh yeah that would be fun to get together again at some little place. Benny's was the perfect size and the folks there were fantastic.. Oh and BJ"S is a must. Last year when Keith and I went up the coast I had him stop at BJ'S for an ice cream and ask for him to take the tour. The young man was a sweetheart.

I couldn't remember the name of it, Marilyn!  Thanks!

Thanks Marilyn, for the Anniversary wishes! 

G'afternoon folks.

Well this has turned into a rough day.  Found out when I went for the mail that all John's benefits through work are cut of the day he turns 65.  To top it off I will have to pay full price for my meds, there won't be a reduced rate until I turn 65 a year later.  We don't have many options at this point.  Just a very expensive year coming up.  I set up eye and dental appointments to see if we can get all that done before July.

To improve the outcome of the day I went to Duchaney Falls to play with my camera.  Here is one of them.

The sun was shining for the first time this week.  It was wonderful to be near the falls and watch the power of the water.

John will be home soon, so I am off... Have a great evening.


YOu will see more of my afternoon here!!!

Wow Judy great picture of the falls, i love to benear falls and listen to the power of the water. Get close enough to feel the mist on my face.

Nice photo, Judy.  I clicked on your link and went to see the rest.  Lovely!


Well, my cat got out tonight and I guess she thought that she saw another cat (which she abhors) and chased a smelly skunk!  She's a stinking cat right now!

Meant to say yesterday, that Marilyn, I have a Breadman but not a deluxe model.  I like it.  My old bread machine which I've had for years and years, gave up the ghost!

Pat Skunk smell remedy....

In a plastic bucket, mix well the following ingredients:

1 quart of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide

1/4 cup of baking soda

1 to 2 teaspoons liquid soap  (Dawn works best)

Lauren may not like it, however it does work.  Tomato juice doesn't!!!

Hi everyone.  It is a cool 56 degrees and sunny here today but no wind.  We had a nice Anniversary Celebration yesterday and a nice lunch.  I didn't feel up to par yesterday and today is starting out the same way so don't plan to leave the house today except to get the mail. 

Happy Anniversary Pat and Paul. 

Judy, not good news on the health costs when John retires. 

I just watched this short video that is so appropriate this Memorial Day weekend.  I just had coffee this morning with a WW II veteran and on Tuesday of this week he and 24 others WW II veterans were taken by plan to Washington, D.C. to see the memorials and other appropriate sites.  Each veteran had a someone with them with wheelchairs, were given meals and then flown back to Atlanta in the evening.  Jack said it was a wonderful day but very tiring.

OK An update on John's benefit package. 

1   It is his life insurance that is cut in half. 
2.  Long Term Disability is cut out entirely as of his birthday.
3.  We will keep all our other benefits until he actually retires.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard this.  Now what my misinterpretation of the letter has done is give us a heads up about drug and other benefits.  He may not be able to retire until I reach 65 as well.  This is not good news to me as I find winter very isolated, and was looking forward to his retirement.

I had a one-track mind yesterday and forgot to say Happy Anniversary, Pat and Paul!

I didn't find what I wanted at Walmart for a portable cell phone charger at Anderson so I searched for a Verizon Store near that Walmart.  About two blocks away.  So I went there.  Of course, it was more $$$ than I expected but I got one that stays charged for a month and I can charge it with a USB cord in the car, on the laptop or the AC adapter. 

Now I have installed software to the computer so I hopefully can put images from my laptop to my cell phone...even says 'wireless'.  Hmmm!

I found on the web to download drivers and updates to my HP printer.  Well, all of them said $$$.  Or they didn't download.  So I am back to using PSP X4 on the old laptop to scan, then save it to the old laptop, putting it on a flash drive and installing it on here!  I think it is PSP X5 that won't recognize the HP as a scanner.  I can Print from X5 but not scan. 

I am so sorry.  TMI!!

Cloudy and overcast and cold...only 56° and it is past noon!  Did someone turn back the calendar?

Etta Sue, Best place to get a phone charger is a truck stop....Don't know why, they are less expensive there!

Pat do you have your Blackberry up and running yet?

Larry, what a video!  I shared it on Facebook.  (I edited your post to show the YouTube)


Thanks for the recipe, Judy.  I can't imagine using it on Lauren!!!  I'm sure the smell will go soon.  She's sure licking herself all over so she's not happy with it.    (I haven't got the phone yet, Judy)


Thank you, Etta Sue for the Anniversary wishes!  Much appreciated! 

I've really been enjoying Alistair Begg's speaking for awhile now and with the little graphic above, I should have put a link.  He has a whole series right now on that topic that you can download free.  I have his messages as an APP on my tablet and I listen to him everyday.

Here's a link:  http://www.truthforlife.org/resources/sermon/notes-flyleaf-my-bible/

Here's a topic where you sure don't need to be a photographer to join in!   

Tisie sent a photo of her cat and all we need to do is post our suggestion for a Caption that would go along with the photo!  So...let's have some fun!  When we get a few Captions, we'll vote on which we think is the best one to go with the photo!

Add your caption here

That video is really powerful, Larry.  I saw where Pat shared  it on Face Book, and then I also shared it. I think everyone should see it.   

I'm home!!!  And so glad to be here.  We had a wonderful trip, but are glad to get home, as always.

I haven't had time to read all the posts since I left, but will go back and catch up.  Also will tell you about the trip as time goes on.  We were up for 47 hours straight getting home!  L-O-N-G Day!  Got here about 5 yesterday evening, and now have all the laundry done and put away, have spent two hours with Beth (she really misses me when I am away) and have been TRYING to catch up on the computer.  I'm getting sleepy now, so might take a little nap. 

Time to start a new week  here.
