Welcome all.  This is the place to come and chat with friends and create new friendships.  Share your outside interests, your inside interests, your ups and downs, and favorite receipts are always welcome.

Let me share one of my favorites.  It was one of Chuck's too.  YUM!

Geeze!  It`s hard to believe we`re coming to the last portion of the year already!

How are things progressing on your end, Sandy? Things falling into place, hopefully.

What is it about the Autumn that is so peaceful & relaxing? We have no color here & I do miss it.  I get lost in the online photos..I can never choose a favorite!

Things are going fine here.  Still trying to decide what I want to put in storage and what I'm going to sale.  It's not easy.  I don't have to hurry so am taking my time.

How did you weather (no pun intended) the storm?  It just looks so ugly all the way up the coast.

Wasn`t as bad as feared here...lots of rain & strong winds..but it all finished last nite.   Charleston area really got whammied! I feel so bad for everyone that was affected by it...I hope no more hurricanes this year! 

Spent the morning cleaning up the yard (as best I can)  probably have to roll outta bed in the morning from all the bending! 😣 

Love the pie recipe!!!!

My son, Lincoln & his family went on a mini 'unplugged' vacation to Red River Gorge in  Daniel Boone Forest Ky. 
Here`s a couple pics..beautiful scenery & family pic too!
 
He & Shane adopted Kira & Christopher when they were quite young. Their mother had a dependency problem.  
Wasn`t long  that Social Services called them to adopt another  baby she`d just had,  it was just a few days old..that`s Tyler. 😀 
 
They had a wonderful mini vacation!

You are right, beautiful scenery and a beautiful family.  I'm so glad that the kids found a loving home where they were able to stay together.  Thant, unfortunately, doesn't happen often.

On oldie but goodie that needs to be taken out & dusted off once in awhile! 😁  Started my day off with a laff for sure!  

 

Most of us over 70 were Home Schooled in many ways ...

 My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE.

"If you're going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning."

My mother taught me RELIGION.

"You better pray that will come out of the carpet."

My father taught me about TIME TRAVEL.

"If you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week!"

My father taught me LOGIC.

"Because I said so, that's why”

My mother taught me MORE LOGIC.

"If you fall out of that swing and break your neck, you're not going to the store with me."

My mother taught me FORESIGHT.

Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident."

My father taught me IRONY.

"Keep crying and I'll give you something to cry about."

My mother taught me about the science of OSMOSIS.

"Shut your mouth and eat your supper."

My mother taught me about CONTORTIONISM.

"Just you look at that dirt on the back of your neck!"

My mother taught me about STAMINA.

"You'll sit there until all that spinach is gone."

My mother taught me about WEATHER.

"This room of yours looks as if a tornado went through it."

My mother taught me about HYPOCRISY.

"If I told you once, I've told you a million times, don't exaggerate!"

My father taught me the CIRCLE OF LIFE.

"I brought you into this world, and I can take you out."

My mother taught me about BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION.

"Stop acting like your father!"

My mother taught me about ENVY.

"There are millions of less fortunate children in this world who don't have wonderful parents like you do."

My mother taught me about ANTICIPATION.

"Just wait until we get home."

My mother taught me about RECEIVING.

"You are going to get it from your father when he gets home!"

My mother taught me MEDICAL SCIENCE.

"If you don't stop crossing your eyes, they are going to get stuck that way."

My mother taught me ESP.

"Put your sweater on; don't you think I know when you are cold?"

My father taught me HUMOR.

"When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, don't come running to me."

My mother taught me HOW TO BECOME AN ADULT.

"If you don't eat your vegetables, you'll never grow up."

My mother taught me GENETICS.

"You're just like your father."      

My mother taught me about my ROOTS.

"Shut that door behind you. Do you think you were born in a barn?"

My mother taught me WISDOM.

"When you get to be my age, you'll understand."

My father taught me about JUSTICE.

"One day you'll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like you!" 

This should be sent only to the over 70 crowd because the younger ones would not believe we truly were told these "EXACT" words by our parents.

My mom`s fav is not on the list & I`m not sure what  'teaching' category it would fall in.  😉 
 
 She`d say.."I`m gonna whip you till you can`t sit down..then I`m gonna turn around & whip you for NOT sitting down!"   
 
 I can still hear it plain as day!    And yes..I gave my mom fits!  🙃

I suspect the parents meant it also.... LOL

In New Mexico we go one that says: 

 

Hear that buzzing: go play with that snake...

Rattlesnake of course...

Of course that would be "Dont get bit".

Hilarious! My mother used to say to me "Because Y is a crooked letter", if I ever questioned why I was supposed to do something!
