MIDWEST: Thursday April 18

[carross]

Good Morning,  Its sunny and cool 49 and the high should be about 59, funny I didn't heard anything about the wind, could we be lucky enough to have no wind.  First thing this morning, I have some things that I missed in the refrig that need throwing away, so I'm walking to the road to put in garbage bin.  As long as by the road I might as well walk the road and see how many large stones I missed and pick them up, all this mess came from across the road where the neighbor plowed her snow and then the snowplow moved them into our grass and they are hard on the lawnmower.  I have a few things to do before going to a Estate sale and then on to the booth.  Have to come up with something for supper. 

Yesterday I had to cancel my hair appt.  I thought it was for today, now I can't go until Tuesday.  Glad I checked the date.  Jerry brought me some big rocks, so I have to find a home for them, I'm pretty sure I know where I will put them.  Nice basketball size.   At Lowes I picked up 2 containers of pansies and one small catcus, these plants are for decorcations at the craft show on Saturday the 27.  

Lair,  Isnt that the way it goes, get the plants out and it turns cold, I think we have 4 nights in the 30's.  Apple growrs will be having the big wind machines on, yes I said wind.  Too bad they couldn't bottle all that wind.  Strange on the cat chewing holes in your air hoses.

Carolyn,  Fun time with little one I bet.

Leroy,  Glad to see your temps have cooled down.  Its hard to find something good to watch on TV.  Is the knee feeling better?

Mary,  Very pretty blanket and the color is very pretty.

M/M,  Yes it sure did rain, and the wind.  Glad you were able to mix in the milk, we all do things like that.

Connie,  Late is better then not at all.  When something goes wrong, thats what I do stop and do it later.  Nothing wrong with a easy supper, I'm doing it more often.  Have a fun lunch today.

I best get busy and get that walk to the road done.  
Have a njoyable day.

Good Morning All. After supper I finished up the last 3 rectangles with the dark green. I now have 24 rectangles totally done. I started making the white center for the next set of 8, and I got 5 done before I quit. Once I get these next 8 done I'll lay them all out and see how it looks. I want to see what all the dark edges look like laying out together. I might decide to join them together with the white or yellow just to brighten it up. I guess I'll worry about that when I get that far. 

We got more rain this morning but I can't tell by looking out the window. It's still sprinkling a little bit. We needed the rain so bad, but now I'm gonna have to dig dandelions and mow. Update 10:16 and it's still sprinkling. I checked the rain gauge but didn't dump it. We had another 1.25".

Gonna head out to breakfast shortly. I thought it was Friday, but it's only Thursday; that's why my med count was off. Chiropractor appt. at 12:15. I gotta get my hips and back straightened out after that weed digging session. 

Update 6:30: I spent my afternoon working on the granny rectangles. I have 8 more started and up to the first 2 colors done, and now working on the first shade of green. I'll be watching some videos and then back to crocheting.

Good Morning.  It is overcast and we have had some short showers.  Our temp is 45 degrees and I don't think we will get much warmer than that.  Since the weather forecast is not inspiring, I have not paid attention to what is coming.  I do think we have 4 nights that the low is in the low 30's. I have cold chills this morning so I will be staying close to the furnace today.  I need a day of doing nothing.  I am feeling a lot better today so taking it easy will be a good thing.  I hope you all have a good day.   Later...

I slept late, nothing new for me.
I only get to see the baby when
his mama works days and he stays with
the grand parents next door.
I look forward to him coming even though he
doesn't stay long usually. Have toys here
for him but he likes the lids from oatmeal
boxes.:) he is my 13th great but the others
weren't close by. The youngest will be 9
The sun is shining very pretty,
Our little town from the tornado is a
Pitiful sight. I heard that one man was on
top of a house helping put a tarp over it
and fell. Broke a veterbra and other
injuries
Lair, I don't do as much as I
would like. You do good.
Leroy, hope you are much better today.
Carol, glad the wind wasn't so bad.
I am thinking about going to S.C
for a visit and then to Florida in May.
Not decided for sure. I love trips but they
take a toll on this old body.
I will get off here and drink some more coffee.

Good morning.  49, going to 56.  We got a little more rain last night, buy today, the sun is supposed later.

I didn't go to PT today. My leg was hurting so bad Adam called the doctor.  I can't get in till 3pm tomorrow.  Not my regular doctor, but I've seen him a time or two.  Also asked my doctor about increasing the dosage for Gabapentin, as what relief I do get only lasts a few hours.  I take Tylenol in between, but that only lasts a short time, too.  I don't know what the vein or nerve thing is in the back of my leg, but that's where most of the pain is coming from right now.  I just didn't think I could get the liner on and then the leg.  I was afraid that would hurt even more.  Of course, the first thing I thought of was did some infection get through, and that's what is causing the pain.

I watch several videos of guys cleaning up properties of people who can't, or they've been abandoned.  Australia, Viet Nam and the US.  Everyone once in a while, there will seem to be a quick sense that I can smell the dust, or mown grass.  Talk about smellavision, I think I have it!!

Well, it was morning when I started.  Have a good day.

Today did not accomplish much. Went to the Peru girls lunch and again only Joanne and I came...we always have plenty to talk about but better when several are there. We were done by 1:45 so I then headed to a certain Goodwill in hopes they would again have some deck/patio chair...none in sight but did pick up a few things and boy was I hurting when I left there. Headed home and lo and behold there was a GSale 3 doors down from us. I got a couple pair of slacks for myself...$2 each. a set of 4 glass jar canisters with wood lids(Hope to paint them black and bring them into the current times), a few decent travel mugs/cups, 5 coffee cups, paper towel holder,matched the canister lids. The Gsale was less than Goodwill...all cleaned and ready to go.

I did not get any sewing done today...hurting a lot tonight so heading to bed real soon.

Carol. smart to pick up those rocks...DH ran our mower over some rocks when we were in MO and of course the mower threw a big rock thru the big glass window on the back of our 5th wheel! Expensive fix!

That lost post thing saved me again and I got this post back to continue...thanks to Bett as this was her creation!

I will not be putting any plants out until next week. I had thoughts of buying some potting soil and some plants today...but that would not be good with the predicted freezes.

Off to bed...have a good night!
