Good morning ladies,

Yesterday wasn't as humid, what a difference, today back to humidity. Yesterday we went for groceries, did laundry hung it outside it didn't take long to dry. Lexi had her three walks she enjoys it very much.

Eija, I feel so bad for you ...all the rain you have been getting. Flooding in your basement, what a mess to clean up. Moving furniture, it quite the job, we can't fight mother nature.

Pat enjoy the family get together for the birthday party. Our DDIL also has a birthday today. Here's to the girl .

Have a wonderful Sunday ladies,

YF

Good morning!  We also have two birthdays in my family today.  My brother and my nieces husband.  They live two provinces away from me but I will call my brother to wish him a Happy Birthday today.

I'm looking forward to having a couple of nice days - the forecast is for 24 today and 28 the next two days Woohoo!

Good morning all. I chose blue colour because I am feeling blue..and stressed and worried. We had a rainstorm yesterday that you would not believe!! Crazy, crazy, crazy. Up the highway about an hour and a half, there was a creek that became a torrent, and washed away a bunch of places...people were evacuated. That water all has to go somewhere, and guess what...we are downstream. Not good news at all...  I spent yesterday feeling down and depressed, and today I am that way already. Ready to cry at the drop of a hat.

The water in our basement is still running. Hasn't gotten any worse, thank heavens. But not any better at all. I hate this sitting here and waiting for things to get better...I am not good at this.

Sorry to be so depressing here, but this is my life right now.  :o( 

Good morning.  I too have choosen blue but different than emc.  Wow what a difference a week has made in my life.  My DH has had some major health issues and is a different man since last week.  He is having some head issues.  We went on a holiday with friends, I had to do the most driving.  Arrived home Tuesday night.  He had a chest X-ray on Wednesday.  His thinking had been getting worse in the last few days.  Thursday is was worse so I drove him to the emerg 3/4 hr. Our own Dr. is on holidays. The Dr. was very good took a history, and many tests which couldn't explain his symptons.  He ordered at urgent CAT scan.  So Friday I drove him 2hrs to the scan.  He was worse again Saturday so went again to the emerg.  (my thought is that the more is is in front of Drs. they will find out what is happening)  The results of his CAT scan were normal. PTL  Now they think it may be some drug reation and so we are doing some changes again.  He is very sleepy, forgetful, can't walk good and I can't trust him to be on his own.  One of the Drs last week had told him to take 3 Tylenol #3 per day for a cough surpressent.  It has worked but the Dr this week thinks he may have a problem with the codine,  so it is gone now and he also gave him back one of a pill he was to stop (this Dr thought it is better to tapper off the drug)  Sure hope we are on the right track.  Friends are very supportive, will stay with him tomorrow as I have to be gone for a few hours.  Please pray for my DH.  I'll keep you posted.  Thanks for being here to listen to my wows.  Everyone, give those you love an extra hug and visit with them today.  My DH is not resonding to visits and I miss that so much.  Pillena

Hello.... trying again!!!

I couldn't get on for the longest time to post.... could read everything just fine but couldn't post..... finally realized that I was not logged on.... I usually don't have to do that.  Oh well.  But why didn't it tell me that???  BTW it is telling me now.

So I go on and have typed about two paragraphs.... and a power surge... bah ..... I restart the computer and another power surge.... I gave up.... then I went on and typed up two recipe cards... enjoyed that for an hour.... saving intermittently.... and then had just saved the finished copy for the second one... and you guessed it... another power surge.

So posting this and continuing with the next post.

Keeping these short and sweet.... can't say that I don't eventually learn.

This is what I had typed and lost .... well these ideas 'cos I didn't memorize it.... you silly girls

Pillena, so sorry to hear about your DH.  A very difficult time for him, you and your family.  I hope they figure out what the problem is very quickly and that you can all get back to enjoying the summer.  Hugs to you. 

Eija, also sorry to hear of the trials and stress that you are going through.  Must be a real PITA to be going through the flooding issues.  I live on a river ... quite high up... and because of that height have always felt safe.... no basement here.... only a crawl space.  I always said if we flood.... it would be like when Noah built his ark....obviously that isn't true when I read how high those small creeks are rising.  I also hope that soon the sun will shine for you...continuously... and the waters will recede.

Maria, still thinking of you and your dear brother.  Also praying for the both of you.

posting again.....

Oh my goodness...yes I had typed a paragraph when I was hit by another power surge... so happy that I am doing this in short posts.

But stubborn and determined I turned my computer back on... but will not reset that clock.... and then had a devil of a time logging on.... just not my computer day.

Anyways.... as I was saying.

Here in Washago we are experiencing a gentle rain all day.  (Gentle here but it must be something else nearby to cause the power surges... but what do I know?)  .... anyways the flowers are loving it.... and David will not have to water the plants when he gets home tonight..... but my laundry on the line isn't drying...go figure.... I finally brought it in and threw it in the dryer... bummer because they were sheets and I was already thinking of how nice they would smell tonight as I fall asleep.

I went garage saleing yesterday.  I did NOT buy any cookbooks.  I did NOT buy any Pyrex.  I did NOT buy anything that had anything to do with cross stitching/quilting/crafts.  I did NOT buy any novel for myself.  But that's not to say I came home empty-handed.  I didn't buy a lot though

However, I saw this bracelet... Tiffany & Co.... I thought just a knock off or cosmetic... or whatever.... this woman had priced nothing... she said... it all goes and any price is good.... and I was hearing things go fairly cheaply.... and thinking back on what I paid for jewellry last Saturday.... I offered 50 cents for the bracelet... she said she really would like at least $1.... okay.... I wanted it because DD is Tiffany.... well Tiffany thinks it is the real deal and worth $270 - $300.  I just don't know???  But she looked at it (facetime) and said... oh $250 and then googled .... why would she let it go for $1... she did say it was real.... but lots of vendors tell little white "fibbies" when they are selling.  I'm glad she wants it..... because it wasn't something I was seeing myself wear.... often pick up jewellry for her if I think to myself... I would wear that if she didn't want it. 

This is my last post.... sorry about the babbling.

Aleida

sorry about the babbling.

You weren't babbling Aleida...nice posts...glad you kept at it, even in bits and pieces. Yes, I hate those power surges, too, especially when it messes with the control panel on my stove. We still haven't brought it in, but it'll cost us a few hundred dollars to fix. Bah!

I'm doing mine in blue as well, because that's how I feel today. It's work related so I can't vent. It's just been rather nerve-rattling lately..

(((((Pillena))))) Praying for your DH and for you as well. Ditto for (((((Eija))))), and for (((((YF)))))

Running off again. Have a lovely day!

Good thing you only paid that dollar, Aleida, but you never know, eh?
