Good Morning Kids! I agree NancysSummerSip, that you ARE a great friend! I can't even imagine how expensive the husband's healthcare must be right now. I'm still shocked that my surgery this summer came to over 4 figures, and that was out-patient, using a hospital and doctor, and everyone else was in-network. Health insurance doesn't even cover close to what it used to.

As Winnie the Pooh would say "Happy Winds-day" It is supposed to be rainy and windy here today. I am taking a bunch of stuff over to DD's tonight after work and may just spend the night there in my trailer rather than drive home in the wind and rain.

Good Morning Kids! I finally got to complete my trip to a vampire's office (blood lab). I was shocked to see my car thermometer tell me it was only 59 degrees. A nice change, to be sure.

Good morning everyone. Very windy and 62*. Broke down and turned the heat on at my wife's request.

Mornin Muffins! I have had the heat on for about a week now. I still have to reset the thermostat, due to power outages, it lost time.

Morning all. Time to get moving for the day. It is bit chilly this morning. I was pleasantly surprised on Wednesday. The heat was actually turned on at work.

Made it to Friday. Heard from my former boss yesterday and I guess there were major layoffs at old company day before yesterday, at least 14 people lost their jobs out of a staff of around 60-70 people. This included the CEO and VP of Marketing. Some very long term employees also go caught up in the carnage. I am glad I got out of there when I did.

Good Morning Kids! Welcome to the weekend. We had some very strange weather overnight. Before bedtime last night, we found out there was a tornado on the ground, towards the middle of the state. Very unusual for this state. The occasional waterspout, yes, hurricanes, yes, but very few tornadoes.

Mornin Muffins! I need something to get me going. The coffee just isn't kicking in yet.
Busy, sounds like you were blown away by that tornado!

Busy I hope you are ok with this storm. I read that the tornado was near Tampa and 10k people are out of power.
Good morning everyone. 54* and I think the wind has stopped. High gusts yesterday made walking rough.
Gained 1.6# since yesterday and 1.2# the day before. Need to watch it with my CHF and changing one heart med Monday. Guide lines are to call doctor after 3# in a day or 5# in a week. Yesterday I had my hour of rehab and even walked for 40 minutes in the afternoon. I usually lose at least 0.4# every day. I did splurge on dinner both nights.

Fortunately, that tornado didn't get close to me, but some areas did have damage, including a school that lost it's roof. It's supposed to be windy & rainy all day, and they've got a wind advisory out for "high profile" vehicles. Hope the truckers are safe.

Hello peeps! Cold, wet and windy here --- we will get some of the remnants of Nestor here. Fortunately, we are getting rain at home, which is something we really need. Heading home tomorrow, and the rain should be moved out by then. Went to a farmers market this morning and it was wonderful! Fresh pastry, coffee, then bought some jam, apple butter, yellow grits, chocolate and honey. What a wonderful place this is.

We will be on the road from 5 a.m. to about 6 p.m. -- it is a straight-though drive home for us, so I am setting up brunch now. Y'all behave until morning.

So glad you sent the spread NancysSummerSip I didn’t want to log in in the morning and see the “board/thread had been gnawed beyond repair. We know how Bluerobin gets when you are just a tad late.

Good morning everyone. 55* and a nice slow rain. Just what we and the farmers need. NancysSummerSip where were you that you had such a long ride home? Not up here for the Baltimore running festival yesterday? I remember when the Baltimore marathon died and some years later this event started. Now 19 years. They had 22k+ participants in a marathon, half marathon, 4 member team marathon and a 5k.

Yesterday was a rainy blustery day with snow in the mountains. I survived the grands who visited most of the day yesterday. The little guy is crawling everywhere now. I have a sunken living room and that little step is no deterrent now. He can crawl right up that and head on down the hall.

Got pork stew started for lunch and work lunches for the week. I usually only make this once a year as it is rather rich. It uses the country pork ribs and has apple cider as the liquid and apples, onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and parsnips. The recipe also calls for mushrooms but I didn't like the looks of the ones at the store.

Good Morning Kids! Happy Monday! DS has a doctor's appointment, at one of those offices where you might sit in the waiting room for an hour or more. So yes, it's definitely a Monday...

busymom Hope the wait was short. One of my mom's doctor was like this. It was 5 minutes from my office. One time they were over an hour behind. The next time I called before leaving my office We are on schedule. I came to the conclusion they did not know what it meant to be on schedule. Have to run time to get out the door.
