LithuanianTsk, Clynn, Lisa and Lani I remember my parents telling about getting milk delivered, Dad mostly as Mom was a Kentucy farm girl who did the miking of diary cows. But, he'd tell me about the way the cream and fat floated to the top his mom would skim it off; as did my mom's mother on the farm...made butter and kept the cream for cooking and baking. Alas this desert gal only knows how to visit the dairy case.
Tsk how cool is that Chocolate milk on your birthday from 'the milkman'
Lisa what a pain to go thru all that, again with your specs. When I go for walks in the late evening I have a pocket pepper spray...aim for the eyes and spray straight accross them. Stains the face too. Thankfully, I've never had to use it. Very nice memory of the Borden milk co. Sweet Elsie.
Clynn I luv the Ukraine classroom. And, the coffee mugs esp. the one on the right. Oh my, now that's a new one, birds drinking milk. Didn't take them long to peck thru the foil/cardboard top, I bet. YOu know I had a pink Olster lady's shaver purchased with S & H Green Stamps. Wonderful photos of Bella.
Good one of Red Bellied Woodpecker
Hi Tig photographers see Life thru a different lens. Safe journey home.
Kb Hurrah! You 'captured' The Towers at home.
Thanks for the photo. Lemurs conversing. Hopefully before long there'll be snow and a drought no more.
Tsk Enjoyed your memories of the milkman.
Oldguy always ejoy the links; Jim's first FIL was a milkman...who was smart with money. Saved it up and bought the company he worked for in New Hampshire. Bought a rambling Victorian house and restored it. Made a nice home for Helen siblings.
Lani cute breakfast this AM, Jim would luv the fluffy ewe. I'd go for the kiwi and orange w/ English muf Many thanks for update on "Lilibet' and the links. Wishing Aly only the best with writing her finals. January will come quickly. School advisor has the right idea and don't sign a thing.
I usually check our bank accounts daily. But been busy with Jim' health. As it's been a few days thought I'd better give them a check. Looking a the dashboard, all the joint accounts were fine.
But I was shocked that my social security account had been cleaned out with several purchases to an online game streaming service at $100 each visit. Made a quick call to our banks customer service and reported. They deactivated my card and flagged my account. I have to wait now for the charges to process before I can dispute them. However, there's a Lowe's charge that has been pending since the end of Sept., 10 days. A big 'what if' regardubg the fraudulent charges, popped into my head. I think Monday, regardless, Ill visit the branch and have a chat about Lowes expressing my concerns with the fraudulent charges . It never ends.
