Good Morning.  No sun for us today but we may get some rain and it is 37 degrees.  I'll be back later.

I didn't lie, I'm back.  Just waiting for a phone call to be returned.  I got a strange bill yesterday from the oxygen company.  Medicare paid the 1700.00 rent on the cpap machine but want me to pay for a plastic fitting that have always been free but now they want $18.00.  I'm sure it is a mistake in bookwork. I got the trash and recycling out this morning.  I had it in the garage but didn't want it out blowing around overnight.  After the 50 mph wind died down overnight I took it out this morning and is by the curb.  I got my seeds out last night and am thinking of planting some of them today. I got a call last night from my deaf sister.  The calls through the interpreter are usually real hard to carry on but the girl last night was just great.  We talked about a half hour and did a lot of laughing. Just a pleasant time.  Well, I don't have much more to say but will be back if I do.  There, I posted twice and now it is your turn. You all have a great day.

Good morning, my turn I'll go next. More rain early this morning and more on the way for afternoon! I keep saying enough but it still keeps raining! It's time to cut grass but that won't happen for awhile. We live on hill and lots of the yard is a swampland in the wet weather! Sun is shining now.

Not much of interest happening here today. Lot of preparation for the eclipse and we are in the total darkness area for four and half minutes. Traffic is predicted to be a real mess as people coming into the area to experience the darkness. We live in the country so our road will prob be busy! Some schools are closed for the day those on break this week will get another day off!

Time t do a  little work, I'll start with watering and cleaning dead stuff out of some plants

I hope all is you are well,

Be back later

Good barely morning.  49, going to 59, with mostly sunny sky, and wind letting up.

Had the ultrasound this morning.  Now, wait for the results.  My appointment was for 10:15, and we were back in the car at 10:17.  Nice that they could take us early, and get done with it.  Had to fast, so ate breakfast when we got home.  Took my medicines, too.

Nothing else for today, so think I will take a nap this afternoon.

Have a good day, everyone.

Good afternoon…
Took care of some legal business and then had an excellent breakfast at a Farmhouse Restaurant….interesting that her there are a large number of places here that are only open for breakfast and lunch with a full bar at lunch.

Making a ground pork and ramen dish for dinner. Quick and easy and spicy too.

At a good place in my book….didn't want to quit reading last night but needed to be up early this morning so will read a while this afternoon.

Sure will be glad when I know where everything is here in the cottage….Keith put most things away and I send him in search of things that I always knew where they we’re in our old house.

Going up to 82° here…to go with my birds, we now have a resident rabbit but I don’t plan to feed it.

Just checking in. Still have snow everywhere; the streets and walks are clean. No sun, and it's up to 40º, so a slow melt. That's okay, it will soak in then. 

I'm trying to figure out my granny rectangle again. I dug out my written pattern that I did when I watched the video the first time. I wasn't even sure with what I had written down, that I was understanding my own pattern. It took me a bit to find the original video again on youtube. I tried to make the rectangle longer by adding more beginning chains by adding multiples of 3, but I don't think that's what I want to do. This is the pattern I had to write because the woman doing the crocheting didn't speak a single word, and what was written on the screen was all in UK terms which are different than US crochet terminology. Yeah, it makes it a bit difficult, but I'm getting there. I have two rounds done so far, and had to come get my pattern so I can see what I need to do for round 3 and 4. When I get rounds 3 and 4 done, that will be a full rectangle. It's kinda the same size as 2 granny squares laying side by side. I also have another baby blanket pattern and yarn sitting beside the couch also, so I could work on either one. 

Well, off to get this figured out.

good early evening,  It rained or misted all day, its now 44.  Not a very nice day, but not a lot of wind which was good.  Ray got up early this morning, we went to a Estate sale and yard sale and then the booth.  Wasn't a bad day shopping, nothing at the yard sale and just a small bag full from the Estate sale.  Not much got done this morning, so I will be doing a few things tonight, like take care of the little bit of Easter Decorations that was out.  Easter was just not in my mind this year.  Guess I didn't hear much about it until l week before.

M/M,  yes it was the drop leaf table that we sold.

Gotta go weather is on, have a good evening.

Good evening. I am like someone else...not much going on today. I got very little done but did cut some colored blocks and a few white ones for the quilt...did not sew a stitch. I am my own worst enemy!

Got a shower and my hair washed so I can try to curl it tomorrow as it is Yellow pages lunch group...usually a bunch of laughs! I could use some.

Are any of you in the path of the eclipse? I am pretty sure we will not see much but really don't know.

Have a good night all!
