****PCH KITCHEN**** July, 2008.........Welcome

Good days ladies, sorry about being so late today.  Could not get them to accept my password and was not about to change. *smile*

Thank you Ruth for the PCH siggy for July.  Do hope that you girls have a wonderful time on your little trip and come back home to us all refreshed, safe and sound.

Here are the two posts for July that I found on the June thread.  Hope you girls don't mind my bringing them up..................will be back in a bit to visit more.

Hi Girls,

Connie, the plane crash I was talking about was at Mt.Charleston in Las Vegas, my DBIL and his family live on that mountain. The one with the helicopters colliding was in Tempe, Az. So very sad for all of those who perished. Sounds like Kerry will have alot of time to get some honey-do's done for you and to get you ready for winter. We have a monitor heater and also a wood stove for heat. We will be replacing the wood stove we have for one that is more efficient. The one we have now burns hot and goes out within a few hours. They have I think they call them convection wood stoves where they get loaded up and will burn for 24-40 hours and they maintain an even temperature.

Ruth, hope you have a good time in Branson with Rose and her family. Have lots of fun.

Well Jim did get to come home last night. Got home after 9:30 p.m. and had to leave this morning before 6 a.m. At least I got to see him for a little bit, he said to me bet it doesn't even feel as if I have been home at all. I told him I was happy to see him even if only for a few hours. The Siskiyou Complex as they are calling it has burned over 8,000 acres and say that it will take months to put out. There are many other smaller fires right in our area as well. Going to dinner tonight with Ted and Tera over to a friends that Jim and Ted have worked with. It will be nice, they are good people for sure. Not sure what I will be doing today. Right now thinking about getting back into bed for a little bit, got up with Jim this morning and still very tired. Hope everyone is doing well and those who are feeling poorly feel better soon. TTL Ann

Good morning Ann and all who grace the room today, I just got off the phone today, talking to Dee, she is still battling no feeling well and I spoke to Cupcake last evening also, definite prayers for all our MIA’s. I sure hope everyone has as good a day as they possibly can, but I hope each of you know you all are in my prayers as well as praying for our emergency workers and our Troops, God Bless you one and all. So many plates are runneth over these days it seems. I need to get out and mow some today, not the whole thing, but the fruit tree area and have to vac out the pool, I think that is going to get done early this morning, so I had better get to it. SYL, Hugs, Connie

Ohhh good grief Nancy LOL. I forgot all about a new month, I was trying to figure out the date while looking at Ann's post this morning and making myself believe that tomorrow was a new month LOL. Then I saw your post and my mouth dropped open LOL. You can probably tell I am just not with it or in denial that July is already here? hehe, Thanks for starting the new thread Nancy, love the siggy, and thanks for bringing Ann and I into the correct loop. *grin* SYL, Connie

ISO:  The month of June:  Did anybody see it fly by? Somehow I missed most of it. Before we know it, it will be Christmas.

I did somerthing to my ring fionger on my left hand. Feels like I sprained it, can't bend it without a lot of pain especially the knuckle so this will be short....pecking instead of typing.

The boy down the road came today and finished weed wacking on the hillside where Duane has dificulty keeping his balance. Was worth every penny to have him do it. He stayed to dinner and he and Duane went fishing again this evening.

Have finally received a tracking number for our engine shipment. Will call the freight co. in the morning and see if it is the truth or not. Better be or will report fraud to the credit card company.

Speaking of credit cards I called Capital One yesterday and asked them to lower our rate and they did, from 14.9 to 8.9%. We always pay off our balance every month but you never know when an emergency will come up and we can't do that. So call yours and see what they say.

Gonna go soak my finger in epsom salts. Hope Deery is doing o.k. and all the others, too, who are awol today.

Nancy good to see you peeking in again and letting us know you have been under the weather too, gosh so often I think and wonder if you are ok, or just taking a break, but more often than not you have trouble breathing cause of those darned high temps lady. It has been a bit cooler here and I had high hopes you were a bit cooler as well, you be sure to just sit back and take it easy Nancy, we miss you when you don't post, but your health is more important. Keeping all you ladies and your families in my prayers. I got hot the other day Nancy, headache, cold sweats and knew I needed to get water and cooled off, so I quit that day of mowing. Well I see Kerry has got his tractor fixed and coming into the house, work, work work. Have a good nights sleep everyone. SYT, Hugs, Connie

Hi Gals, I am okay. Just haven't felt like dealing with Internet Explorer. Weather has been great and I have been having my lunch outside. Squirrel watched me today but wouldn't come out of tree. Think it wanted me to leave so it could go to bird feeders. Ha! Well tomorrow fasting and Thursday they moved appointment up to 9 am. So we will have to leave about 7:30 am because of commute traffic. So will be scarce for few days. Unless I get some more energy from somewhere. Anyone got some to spare?

Prayers for PCH Family. May God Bless our Troops and Emergency Workers.

Hugs All Around, Deery

Hi Gals, I will tell you more then you want to hear. I am getting a break from drinking the preperation. Almost got the first bottle down and threw up half of it. DH has to go out and buy more prep and nurse said 2 antinausea pills. Sure hope they work.

Wishing all a good night of sleep and good day tomorrow.

Hugs, Deery

Deery I sure hate to hear you got rid of 1/2 the bottle of stuff after you got it part way down I guess? Yuck, you poor lady, having to take that prep stuff, that is the nastiest thing to have to do to get ready for those dog gone tests, that about kills you in itself doesn't it? I did giggle though Deery, remembering myself getting ready for the same procedure and telling Kerry I was gonna be sick, gonna be sick, I jus t could not take any more of it and Kerry made me finish, but ohhhh how sick a person gets! Did the antinausea pill help Deery? I hope this is all you have to do to get ready for this and no more then, hope all goes well when you have the tests done tomorrow. Kerry and I have been working our bootys off this evening, I was mowing around the trees, he was bush hogging and then I got out the pump sprayer and mixing up 3 gallons at a time, made a total of 15 gallons of brush and weed spray. Then Kerry pushed a tree down with the tractor and put it on the burn pile with the tractor and started it burning at almost 9:30 and started into the house and saw something out in the yard, it was a armadillo, so he got his flash light and 22 rifle and was able to kill it. He will be hitting the shower, we both got in the pool earlier, but he went back to work and I took him back a bowl of watermelon, now this gal is heading to bed. Sleep well. SYT, Hugs, Connie

Hi Girls,

Quick run through, have been extremely busy.  Jim did get to come home last night and was gone early again.  Not sure when he will be home next.  Nancy, LOL had to laugh, like Connie, I didn't keep track of what the date was.  I was wondering where everyone went.  LOL  Hope you are feeling better and taking it easy.  Thinking of you all and keeping you in my prayers.  WIll catch up with you all after this weekend.  Take care.  Ann

I am back, very tired and again in a bad fibro flare that started on Tuesday afternoon we was at Sliver Dollar City when it hit, it did slow me down but did not stop me. we went to see the new movie Wall-E

it is a Disney movie and really funny, we seen it at the Imax theater, went back to Silver Dollar City again yesterday morning Issac Rose's DGS wanted to ride a couple  of the rides he did not get to ride on Tuesday. this trip was for him, so we tried to do things he wanted to do . we did not do anything else there, we went to Springfield and done some shopping there.I got some books to read

Recipes and Wooden Spoons by Judy Baer,  and two books by my favorite Christan writer Terri Blackstock. I have been reading her books for the last several years this time I got Dawn's light  and the other one by her,  Covenant Child. so these books should keep me home and doing nothing for awhile. ( ya right, lol)  that was a thought anyway I did get a cook book to Charleston Receipts  from the Junior League Of Charleston South Carolina. have not had a chance to look at any of them yet .

Well I am going to get off here for now and rest for a while and will try to get back later on, but if not today I will stop by in the morning.

hope everyone is ok i will go back and read up on ya all when I come back.
