After 13 days the AC is working again!!!! PT was tough but I loved it!!!  LOL

[paulie]

Good Morning 

I hope everyone is doing good. 

Much cooler temps have arrived and nice breeze too. Feels good! Feels like Autumn for sure.

Makes me think about cooking a big pot of beef stew or chicken soup or chili and an apple pie. Lol Oh! Apple Fritters! I don't glaze them just sprinkle powdered sugar on the tops.

[paulie]

Paulie very nice! And a very modern kitchen. How many bedrooms upstairs? Any plans for a garage or carport? Thanks for sharing

Phyl, Thank you about kitchen. There's 4 bedrooms. 2 main floor and 2 upstairs with half bath upstairs too.

No immediate plans for a garage or carport but we have discussed a metal roof/open sides carport. Would help with mountain snow for sure. Would have to be very wide for everyone though and  more $$$ so no immediate plans. lol

[paulie]

Very nice Paulie - After the Fledge  After Party 2024?  Congrats.  Has to be a long time dream getting to fruition.   ENJOY!

P

Puff, Thank you very much. Heck yeah to After the Fledge After Party 2024 would be awesome. We'd allll have a blast I know that.

Yes to a long time dream getting to fruition for sure. We've owned the land for over 20 years and from the time we bought it we, along with our children, had dreams of a cabin some day. But with four children still growing up and then three grandchildren there was always things needing to be done. Raising four children $ .. college $ .. weddings $ and whatever. No problem though because family comes first. God blessed my husband and me a year ago and we were able to fulfill the cabin dream.

About 20 years ago I came across a cabin photo that I cut and had hanging on my home kitchen refrigerator with cabin dream we all had. Even when a refrigerator broke down it was hung back onto the door of the new one.
I took a picture of it hanging now on the cabin fridge door. I'll try to post it for you all to see.

Tears in my eyes after seeing the "someday" pic on the new frig in your new hang out.   
     

P

Puff, Awww thank you about your emotions about the "someday" pic on frig. 

Honestly when Charlie and I sit on the front porch in silence one of us eventually says, "Pinch me. This has finally really happened?"

Good Morning Everyone...Happy  Thursday !   



Currently 56F  with  High  82F sunny and very high pollen,  Low 57F.


LB relieved that you have your A/C back!  Took long enough 

Paulie It all takes time and you both will have such a nice place to call 'home'.  Stew and apple fritters sound great!

Hi jicaji

Have a 'good' day...

[paulie]

Love lov love, I love the floors and kitchen!!! I love everything but I love the front porch the most!!!! I would spend my day there

LB, YAY!! You've got your AC again! And I'm sooo happy for you enjoying PT so much and more importantly how much it's helping you.

Thank you. I think of you sometimes when I'm on the front porch because I remember in early Spring when I posted of pic of porch with nothing on it you said how much you like it.  Some tall back rocking chairs on it would be comfy. 

[paulie]

Pauli, great job thur out!  I do not know how uou found that special shoeer curtain!  It looks like it was made to. Order!  Thanks for sharing!

karen, Thank you and you're welcome. About the shower curtain would you believe Amazon?! Yep! Good 'ol Amazon. 

[paulie]

Hi Phyl, We were posting at same time. 

Wow you have 56F there! Definitely Autumn temps for you.

Mmmm I wonder what's being stirred in the bowl in your morning photo? Oh! Flour etc mixture for apple fritters.  Geez I'm getting hungry.

Very true it all takes time. I just remembered I didn't reply to your question about moving to cabin. Charlie is ready to!! Seriously!! Lol  Not me .. not yet anyway.

[paulie]

LB, I just remembered this. Thanks for explaining about your shots. Good you got your flu shot and waiting until Sept 30 for your covid shot. I didn't know the new one covers the new strain going around.

Also, you mentioned before you're worried about being home alone after your surgery. Your brother and nephew will be helping you with Copper correct? And hopefully long visits.

One thing I was told is afterwards a person uses a walker to get around then transitions to a cane for a bit.

[Puff]

Paulie      and       Again

It just feels good to see happy days for those who finally get a dream.

Come all - lets try making ourselves feel good/ feel better.  Make happy

Good Morning Everyone...

This last Wednesday, 9-6-23,  Jim had his annual with all the usual blood work. On the 9th he got a
call from his doc's office saying there was an 'anomaly' in his blood test results. And, that
Doc want Jim back in his office for a 're-do'.   Jim did that right after work Monday afternoon.
We are waiting for results.
I know about blood an anomalies having one myself with the ITP. And, my Dad dying from two separate blood cancers---Multiple Myeloma and (Pre) Leukemia .
Back in the '80s treatment was very different  with  blood transfusions as a stand out. 
The blood cancers are my greatest concern. I saw how my dad suffered especially in the end with bone pain so intense that he couldn't stand being touched or even laying in bed medicated with morphine. And the emotional roller coaster/stress my mother hid from the world and him---hearing her sob as she prayed before bed every night.
At any rate Jim said doc's office will call---we'll hear tomorrow sometime. If they call during Jim's working hours, he'll call  them. But, as they know he can't  take calls at Publix. I'm sure we'll hear late afternoon.     

Phyl, I just now read your post from the other day.

Has Jim gotten his results back yet? I just said a prayer for him and for you too. I remember you mentioning your ITP previously.

God bless your dad and mother too for what they experienced .. and you too during that time.

You and Jim remain on my prayer list.

P

Puff, I agree!

[paulie]

Phyl, Me the worrier just went to 'Forum Member' to read your past posts.

Good that's Jim's retest showed slight anemia and very good supplements will help with that.

I also read about the liverwurst sandwiches you're making him. I'm very sure you'll be keeping a close eye on Jim!

Hi everyone

I am sore today LOL    But I am able to walk still !! WE did more yesterday MY hips hurt too. Funny I really dont need the AC now got cooler. 77 today still ac for me though.  I sure dont miss the portable I can actually hear myself think now!  I am tired always so tired. Still have trouble sleeping. 

[paulie]

Good Morning 

LB, TGIF for you!! Sounds like PT will really strengthen your hips and leg muscles and anything else for your surgery. Good and helpful!

About getting your AC repaired and now cooler weather. That's Murphy's Law! Nice though that you still use it when you want to.
I bet you're enjoying Copper walks in the cooler weather.

Quotes! #1 Lol Been there done that! #2 is good.

jicaji, Looks like your area might get some winds and rain from hurricane maybe?

Well me having been out of commission for three weeks (bummer) is now ending finally! Earlier this week I went food shopping and got around walking good. Husband drove. Wrist isn't sore any more. Yay. Today I'm going to drive around a bit to be sure all's good.
My gardens have gotten out of control so with cooler temps I need to get out there to begin cleaning up!!

I'm waving to everyone and wishing you each a pleasant day.
