Morning b4b! Thanks for starting the new chat!
Remember when??? If August stays as hot as July..I just may have to travel back in time for some sprinkler fun!
I so remember sprinkler fun! We always try to do things from when we were kids with our daughter. Like she had never heard or used a rotary phone. We were at a sale and showed her how we had to dial a phone. But here is Lauren when she was little playing in the sprinkler. The second picture it got her little toosh.
Good morning all from Eufaula Oklahoma! I can't believe it is already August ... where does the time go? We are on our way home. Been on the road for almost four weeks. It has been fun, but busy, busy, busy! This is suppose to be fun and relaxing, but this time around it seemed like we were on the go from the time we got up in the morning to the time we layed our heads down at night. This is really the first time that we hae had to just relax. But it is a great place to do it.
Haven't been online much. I think I just needed to take a break for a bit after the loss of my brother and brother-in-law. Although they were both blessings, it really hit me hard. The family reunion was really strange with so many being gone. Chuck is the last of his generation.
Of course I have been doing some shopping and have found some nice things. It will take me a while to get pictures taken to show them to you.
Hope you have all had a great time this summer. Chuck and I are planning our next trip this fall. Going to catch some of the great fall colors in Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.
Well we are getting ready to go do a little more site seeing today.
Take care and hugs to you all.
The sprinkler pics should be on the front of postcards. 🙂 I love the portulaca. This summer has been so hot and humid here, two sets of hanging baskets have not survived even with Miracle Grow and tons of water.
I had a doctor's appt. today to see what was wrong with my right foot, which has had two previous ankle surgeries. Unfortunately, the tendons and tendon sheaths are inflammed, and I have bone marrow edema compounded by chronic arthritis. I found out that if you don't rest and the bone marrow edema gets worse, your foot bones can fracture. The doctor ordered four straight weeks of no driving, minimal walking, and a boot on night and day only to come off when showering..... I am very upset because all summer I have been taking care of my 89 year-old uncle, and he just got out of a three-week stay at the local rehabilitation center. I am a VERY active person and this will drive me up a wall. No treasure hunting for four weeks unless it is on-line.
On a happier note, hubby and I got to go to an outdoor antique show yesterday in a shore town I have never visited. There were 60 dealers there, and we had a lot of fun. There were some bargains to be had, and they will pretty much be my last posts for a month. We decided to visit a little seafood restaurant we hadn't been to ever together (our 16th anniversary is coming up this week) and the food was very good. No frills little place with red checkered table cloths right on the water.
I will be eagerly looking forward to Wednesday Eye Candy and Weekend Treasure Hunts to see what you have all found. 🙂
Mornin all!
B4b, I put up 16 jars of spicy dixie relish yesterday. I still have another cabbage head to do more, but ran out of peppers & spices lol Gotta get those tonite & make another batch tomorrow.
Today am canning tomates..last ones for me this year. I have some late plants out (3) that are looking good in spite of the heat & dry..but I think if they produce..will be just for eatin & sharing lol
Once I get my last batch of relish done..I think I`ll start dryin some stuff. Stepson bought me a digital dehydrator & havent had a chance to try it yet.
btw..love your song 
Toodles
I wish I could sew. I don't have spatial skills that allow me to cut and match up patterns. I tried to learn many times....the scooter is a knee cart. I rented one for my last ankle surgery. I am looking at a three-legged scooter thing with a bike seat in the Harriet Carter catalog- I could zoom around the house on my butt.
My dad always had fields of veggies. He put up tomatoes and made his own tomato juice. He made hot pickles with cayennes, cherry peppers, garlic, and dill. He also made sweet bread and butter pickles with onions. My brother carries on the tradition.
Just an update on my buyer that had tech difficulty & accidentally left a low rating on an item (even tho she gave me glowing fb).
Well since she was sweet enough to call ebay (as I asked her if she would)..& let them know she had had the tech problem. & she asked them to change the rating she had left.
They told her I`d have to contact them..so I just did and since all the messages were there for rep to read regarding all the troble buyer had & the fct that she DID contact Ebay..they WILL be removing the defect!
Yippee!!
