Joan and Shsuf...so glad to hear from you!
Termite....I understand that tired feeling when the grandkids leave! I have had my youngest grandson here for the week and I was not used to the 24-7 routine of a six year old. He left to head back to Tennessee this morning and I must admit that I am drained. Today seems like a good catch-up day to recoup a bit. We had a great time inspite of the rainy weather but I know now why we have our children when we are younger!!!
Carole, Travel safely and have a great time. I hope you have good weather on your trip.
Puffin....I am so sorry for your loss. A death in the family is always SO hard and so emotional regardless of the circumstances. Hugs to you and your family!
Blondie...so glad you are doing well now. I hope you have a fabulous Florida trip!
Chevy, we have things to paint at our house, too but it's pretty hard to get it done with rain nearly everyday. My porch is top priority here. We removed the old boards and put down all new and have just been waiting for the weather report to show a couple of clear days so we can paint.
Well I'm going to get moving and head out to do a few errands in hopes of beating the rain!

Morning all,
Puffin, so sorry for your loss.
Sorry I haven't been posting much, but it is a hard transition from being taken care of to caretaker, and head of household. Got to see Tracy's repaired ankle incision for the first time last night. My son, who works in an ER was supposed to come over after work to change the dressing, and check the wound for any signs of infection, but he ended up having to work till 11pm. Thank God, our neighbor is the head of the emergency room, and he came over and did it for us. From now on, it will be my job to change it every 2 days. The incision itself looks very clean and tidy, but a lot longer than I expected- about 5 inches long. She is doing ok, starting to wean off the Percocet, and getting pretty good at driving the wheelchair.
But, in addition to taking care of her I am now totally responsible for all cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping and everything else that goes into running a house. Being a full time working mother, Tracy doesn't have time to organize areas people don't normally see, like pantrys and cabinets. Only being here part time, and not being in charge of cooking, the disorganization didn't bother me. Now that I am in charge, I need to know what we have and where it is. So I have spent part of each day re- organizing the kitchen. Not moving where things are but just putting veggies with veggies, snacks with snacks, etc. I am doing a little each day, but I am beyond exhausted. I have pretty much done the kitchen. What's left is the cabinets in the garage- and with temps being in the upper 90's each day, I just haven't gotten the courage to get out there.
Added to that, my son flies back to So. Carolina this afternoon, and leaves So Carolina tomorrow afternoon (after Lucia's birthday party there) to drive his wife and daughter down here by Sun afternoon so he can be back at camp Mon morning. We will then be having her birthday party here at my house next Sun. I am taking him to the airport today. Then tomorrow night, Tim's fiancé has planned a surprise 30th birthday party for him at a restaurant in their neighborhood. I'm all for it, but it doesn't start till 8. I am usually in my PJs by then. And either Wed or Thurs, Nancy and her family arrive for a week. Good news is that when Robs wife is in town, they stay with her mom, so that clears a room for Nancy & Scott. Someone suggested that my 10 and 6 yr old stay here the whole time Nancy is here because they were so close before Nancy moved. I don't know how excited they are about Nancy being here, but being able to spend a whole week at Grandma's? Wow, it doesn't get any better.
Add to all this that our land line and dryer both broke this week. I have gone from being a bored lady of leisure to a chicken with my head cut off. Reality is, other than feeling exhausted, I'm loving it. I have a purpose again. Most of my pain is in my hips and legs and I think that is because I have had to buy new sandals this summer and I can't find any with the right heel, and trust me I have looked. I am having Nancy bring me the ones I usually leave there when she comes.
Hope you all have a good weekend, whatever your plans are

Wow, Anne. I am sorry that you have so much dumped in your lap not actually ever having expected things to go that way. Sounds like there is not much wrong with your organizational skills. You seem to recognize what will most benefit you in all this "new" endeavor. I'm not sure that I could deal with even a small portion of what you are doing. I just have myself and Dh ( though a boat-load of furries on the plate ) and our house in the woods and I seem in-capable of making the headway I want too here though I have improved. Still isn't saying about me what I'd like to hear or be able to say.
Well, just think ---- if anyone of us were within distance of you we'd be coming to the rescue giving you a hand. I'm off to feed the feral cats -- running a bit late from the major pour-down this a.m. Looks like it could do it again --- but hoping it is just mainly clouds. The sun has been out for a bit. Will stay much cooler if a bit on the humid side. See you all later.

Sunshine today! YAY! We have had so much rain that flash floods have roared through our area, closing roads and golf courses, as well as most other outside activities. At least the sun in out today and I don't have to run errands in the rain! We moved our grass last weekend and haven't been able to mow all week with the rainy conditions. I'm not sure it will be dry enough to even mow today. If we can't get to it soon, we will need to bale it!
Oh Anne, I am so sorry that you have all these additionals tasks and burdens on your shoulders right now. Wow! Hang in there! Sending big hugs to you!
Everyone enjoy your day!

The true Light is a gentle love which, rising in you, causes you to look on the world with understanding and compassion and respect. When you respect the souls of your brother and sister, you respect their lives in every way. This gentle spirit, this respect one for another, must come. For this is the generation of the one true Light, and this true light is that of love.

We too have sunshine today Rita. There could be an errant shower or so, but nothing to get excited about. That is good. It poured several times yesterday. Each time I thought it done --- and sometimes hours in-between it would come again --- very fast, furious and hard. After dark I quit watching for it or listening. By then, most of the fans were on ( door closed with a/c ready to come on if needed ) and I mainly heard them making their little whirring noises. We set them in several places in the house mainly for good air circulation rather than "cooling" us.
I work tonight --- no one wanted to go out and do anything with all the water ( and maybe more ) that was presenting yesterday. Other than a little work, laundry, and some minor things I really don't have much planned today. So far, it is cool enough that we don't need the a/c on. If the sun creates too much infrared heat we will have to turn it on but otherwise the temps are going to stay in the low 70's today ---- yay !!!! I've done pretty good with the heat this yr. so far, but it is early. Still I was kind of surprised.
Sure hope Sandra and Mike, Cammie, Mimi, and Carole and hubby traveling are fine. Waving hi to Joan and Puffin --- do hope things are moving all right for you and your family. You are all in my thoughts today and hoping there is a little sunshine for all of you too.
Blessings,
Jackie

Good morning. Yesterday's sunshine went byebye. Just waiting for the rain to start! It's quite cool this morning. So far we haven't used our portable A/C very much at all. When we need it , it works quite well, have it in our bed room, where we also have the TV and our recliners. I like it because I can remove the exhaust from the window when not in use, or we go out. Our windows are all on ground level, whch can be a security issue.
Started the morning off with blood work I had to have before A CT on Monday, to see if the PE I got in December is resolved, so I can get off of Coumadin. Has anyone ever had to have kidney function blood work before a CT, I haven't and have had a few CT's! They said it has to do with the contrast dye.
Been following the Gluten Free diet, which seems to be helping my IBS. Found some gluten free stuff that's good and some, such as the pizza I had yesterday at my Red Hatters lunch, are yuk! Wud like to find a really good GF bread.
Think of you all, especially those going through difficult times.
-
Bonnets, They made me get a kidney test before doing my MRI. Said it was because of the contrast. I know what you mean about gluten free being hit or miss.
-
Bonnets...I went back to Aldi's after you told me that your friend had found some decent gluten-free bread there. I bought a little loaf called Live G Free, white whole grain and it's not bad. It's not soft and fluffy like the bread we are used to eating but it stays together good when making grilled cheese sandwiches and is good toasted. I now have toast with my eggs and can make a BLT with it. It's the best I have found. Most of the others have fallen apart on me. I am glad that the gluten free diet is helping you. Thanks for the tip on the bread.
-
Rita, I found the Udi's Hamburger buns were a bit softer,G Free wraps at Aldis that I like too.
-
Bonnets - I had regular 6 mos full blood work before my last CT w/contrast but had to wait an hour for test results before the CT. When I asked why, I was told that my clinic requires kidney results on everyone over 60 before the procedure.

Hi to all. Day 2 of travel to north MN brought us to Bowling Green, MO, north of St. Louis. It was pleasant today, less humid and about 80 degrees. We hope to drive through Iowa and into MN tomorrow. Our goal is to arrive at our destination on Mon.
Hope the rainy weather tapers off for those getting too much rain.
-
Good to hear from you Carole -- glad your trip seems to be progressing ok. We had a really nice day here in Illinois as well. In the 70's with a nice breeze. I'd really love summer if we could have a bit more of that.
Just got home from work and it's 10 p.m. Need to wash up, jump in jammies, and eat a big bowl of popcorn. See you all in the morning
Jackie.

Thank you for “welcoming me back” from being away….the ladies here are very special and Jackie, you set such a warm and welcoming tone
each day. Thanks!Carole, I am glad that after your ordeal with your foot that you are on the road again. You deserve it. (I never knew there is a Bowling Green
MO.) Have a safe and peaceful trip.Puffin, I am also sorry to hear of your recent loss. We are never truly prepared...
Ritajean & termite, you described it well….that feeling after the grandkids leave. I have my two active grandsons here until Monday. Our
weather is not very good but we managed to go fishing today on our boat (2 fish caught, one disappointed grandkid), then shopping in town for Tshirts and bakery treats, and dinner at an outdoor café … then home to get in pjs and watch a 3D movie. Whew! I am tired…
I had my 2 grandaughters last week overnight and what a difference having busy boys.The AC we installed is great. But temps dropped and today we ran the heat for an hour to get the chill off the house.
The heavy rain arrived tonight.Chevy, you never stop! Painting the fence, the house….I’m inspired…
Yesterday I had to finish clearing a large area of bushes for the AC units, and I used a small chain saw for the first
time. I think I will systematically trim up the yard which is totally out of control.Anne, you have taken on a lot – sending positive thoughts & a hug for you.
Glad to hear the sun’s been shining in Illinois…we usually get your weather in a day or two.

Hi joan u r right, girls r way different from boys.
Yay Ac n the boat..

I am in harmony with God's beautiful world. A summer bouquet may include an
assortment of flowers in a rainbow of colors. The variety makes the whole bouquet
even more beautiful. I realize I am one flower in the wondrous bouquet of humanity.
Without judging or comparing myself to others, I enjoy the unique beauty in all of us.
I am a divine expression of God and so is everyone else. As I value our commonalities
and our differences, I experience harmony. I relax into knowing that I am loved and
that I have a unique contribution to make. As I learn to love myself, I am at peace--
with myself and others. Living in peace, I am in harmony with God's beautiful world.unattributed

Good morning. Pretty here and cool again as well. What's not to like. Just glad that the rain stayed elsewhere ??? though I'm not real sure just where . We may get an errant shower or so --- sounded like late in the day here --- almost evening. So far it has sure been a wet yr. You get what you get though. I just would like to think people are getting some dry out time -- just like we have here.
In view of the recent Supreme Court rulings as well as my overall strong liking -- I chose today's quote. We need diversity which I feel helps us so much to appreciate that we ALL have differences. How boring and stultifying if we were all the same. Then again, as most know, I've always felt that we are here to "grow" spiritually and would not really do it if we were the same. We learn most about ourselves and others when the going is tough. When we have to reach deep inside to find the best answer we can. I am happy with most of my "answers" -- but not because they were always great. They weren't, but each one defines you a little more and helps you get closer. So, sometimes the less then perfect answers, even some of the lousy ones help set you on a course of striving to develop what is ultimately something you can be really ok with while you 'grow' some more.
Lots of things to do today, but I have to say -- relaxing is way up on that list. For some reason ( maybe rain and storms ) I'm feeling like I need a little ho-hum time. I did keep up with most of the normal load and a couple small other things -- so we will see how it goes. We do plan some movie time, some time today. It has been a long time since we "watched" a home movie. I think maybe we may want to put that on the list of what you may want to make time for. I have always loved, loved, loved to read and always had a lot of books. When I was diagnosed and doing tx. my concentration was so poor I just pretty much quit --- and for some reason it is now difficult ( impossible so far ) for me to pick up a book and get through it. So, I'm thinking maybe we will do more movies while I try to figure out getting through a book......and I use to be able to read two or three per week.
Hope you are all going to have a great Sunday.
Blessings,
Jackie

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known
defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found
their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a
sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion,
gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.Eleanor Roosevelt

Good Morning,
Wow !!!!! Through most of the day yesterday we were pretty good --- then the storms finally reached us. Very dramatic -- not as much in the late afternoon as later on after dark. Just poured and the thunder and lightning were quite a spectacle. Glad they are over with. We may get a shower or so today --- but after yesterday I will be holding my breath just a little. Hopefully, we will get through this and go into a dryer time. Getting really weary of the rain and storms. Off to give Dh a ride to work. It always seem to take so long for the mechanics to get to the work that has to be done on Dh's truck. I think they hate working on it --- it must be difficult to get around and under things.
Will see you all later.
Blessings,
Jackie

We're back home from the funeral. The wake yesterday was lovely and well attended. Each family had a photo board on an easel, and another photo board totally of Millie's life. The slide show I put together ended up having 173 pictures and we were able to project it in a couple rooms.
This morning 4 of us filled over 100 balloons with helium and tied them to twine, and then made "bouquets" of 10-15 balloons per bouquet and set them across the front of the church in place of flower displays. I counted 50 people just in the family section of the chapel, probably another 50 in the pews behind us. Following the service everyone came forward and got a balloon and wrote a message on it with a sharpie. We gathered together on the church lawn and on signal released them all at once. Not the best ecological idea but it's what Lew's sisters wanted to do. Maybe a robin will use the twine in building a nest.
Lew has been searching the internet for years for a childhood friend who used to live by him. His family has since left the area. This morning he came up to me beaming with a man at his side, Billy had come to the funeral, and would you believe he lives 3 miles away from our home? Surprising how many people considered Millie their second mom. One even came from Texas to attend the funeral.
It was wonderful to see family and friends that we haven't seen in years, but so difficult to see so much sadness. I hate how my eyes are so tired and burn after being filled with so many tears.
Good to be home.

Peace and blessings,

Good day today --- not too toasty outside. I'm ready for my day off though. We went to the center and did our walk and work-out. Felt good, but I was glad to get done. Had several stops in between as usual, and dropping off and picking up Dh at work. Hopefully, his truck transmission will be started tomorrow. Shouldn't be a REAL long job, but is one where the mechanic really doesn't know till it comes apart -- just what he will have to do -- how many replacements parts etc.
We are going to watch some movies tonight. I am ready for some relaxation. Sound like I've done so much and I haven't really, but I wanted to sleep longer than I did this morning. So, started out tired --- was hoping for a nap this afternoon, but as is my usual --- I'm not much of a day time napper.
Hope you are all having a good day. Hope no rain coming down. More for us will come tomorrow.
See you later.
Blessings

Hi, everyone. We arrived at Pine Hollow Resort yesterday and are set up in our spot. The grounds look wonderful. Our next door neighbor loves flowers and she has flowers planted all over the place. She and her male partner are nice people. We have enjoyed visiting with them and this afternoon they invited us to go out on the lake with them on their large and comfortable pontoon boat.
It is warm today but comfortable. We have windows and the door open letting the fresh air inside. Sounds silly to leave your home for three months just to enjoy a better summer climate but that's what we do!
Now I'd better get moving and see about doing some cooking for our dinner.
It's good to have internet again! Something else to be thankful for, Jackie!
-
Carole, Leaving for 3 months for a better summer climate doesn't sound silly at all to me. Wish we could have done that when we lived in Houston. Hot with high humidity is not fun. Glad you arrived safely.
-
Carol u enjoy doing what u do n have someone to do it with have so much fun, jealous

I want first of all to be at peace with myself. I want a singleness of eye,
a purity of intention, a central core to my life that will enable me to carry
out these obligations and activities as well as I can. I want, in fact--to
borrow from the language of the saints--to live "in grace" as much of the
time as possible. I am not using this term in a strictly theological sense.
By grace I mean an inner harmony, essentially spiritual, which can be
translated into outward harmony. I am seeking perhaps what Socrates
asked for. . . "May the outward and inward person be at one."Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Gift from the Sea -
Morning everyone,
Blondie --- I'm with you and Wren. I think being able to leave my climate for a better one would be fabulous. Many people here escape the winters by going to Texas. It is close enough to get you into some winter warmth and there were a number of 'retirees' here who maintained the practice on a yearly basis. At first, I found that sort of strange -- but then I was gone ( the last 25 yrs. spent in southern California ) from my hometown for about 35 yrs. After just coming home again --- leaving for ANY reason didn't make sense. Now that I have about 19 yrs. in here at home --- I can see why. Though I am pretty much used to it --- it can get very hot and muggy here in the later summer months --- July and Aug. usually being fairly bad --- and if life was a bit different for me --- I might think of escaping the summer months here.
Since I still need to work --- and have animals needing lots of attention --- going elsewhere isn't in the cards. We are awaiting rain. It sounds like it could be almost a sure thing. Then --- perhaps for the next week after. So strange this yr. The month of Apr. much dryer than normal --- gave way to the long days of rain we normally get then and they haven't much let up. Seems like July may be wanting to start out as Apr. too --- we shall see.
Otherwise nothing much going on here. Just hoping for a quiet day. We will go to the gym. I'm thinking ( since I don't use it all that much ) of only renewing my walking pass at the gym. I've enjoyed being able to work out on the gym equipment, but if I put my mind to it --- I think I could do as much at home as I do there and save the extra $20.00 per month it costs to include use of the gym room.
Hard to believe that we are almost into July. The summertime so far seems to be rushing itself. Well, we will have one less tree, and the nuts ( hickory ) coming from it and that is not a bad thing. They were always messy and could when falling so far down make dents in your car and really give you a whack if you were under one when it came down. I won't miss cleaning up all the debris from the tree but it still looks rather odd out there. A fair amt. of sun will find its way into our yard in that spot. I'm hoping we don't lose too much more for trees. If I had a huge amt. of fill dirt --- I'd seriously think ( we have a friend who'd likely do it as he loves to take down trees ) of thinning out the trees we have that are far too close together and then even out a lot of our hilly yard. That is one of those -- if we win the lottery projects, I lthink.
Hoping you all have a great day. I'll be checking in later.
Blessings,
Jackie
-
Carole, Lew will be out of town July 9, 10th, 11th and I don't have anything special scheduled. Would you be interested in meeting in Detroit Lakes one of those days for lunch and a visit? Anyone else close that could join us? That would be about half way between us.Or I'm open to other ideas,
