Good Sunday morning. I think I have recovered from yesterday. Yes, it reached 97 degrees F. And for some reason, we had a huge crowd down at Longmeadow for the Wagon Day. I would have thought people would stay home in their AC! I'm guessing at least 150 people ventured out. The brace on my knee helped enormously and I didn't have any trouble all day even though I clocked just over 3 miles of walking. But I was a tired puppy!

Then they called to about 7:00 to see if I could do the night closing as the caretaker who lives there wrenched his back. So at 9, I headed back down! It was a mere 90 degreees at 9:00! But I only had 3 older guys and Bubbles the Zebu to feed. Because it's so hot I did have to carry water to several horses in the older barns without automatic waterers. I slept late this morning!

Think I'll take the day off!

Happy Sunday to you all!

You definitely deserve the day off Draclvr

Draclvr, that was a long day! No wonder you slept well.

I woke up to rain this morning. We really need it. It isn't a huge downpour, but it's obviously been going on all night because the water level in my pond has gone up. And it's cold! I can't leave the door open. I guess summer is pretty much over.

Draclvr, it's time to put your feet up & maybe let hubby serve you a nice cold drink.

hagatha; you can send some of that rain our way please, it's 82F again today.

Have a great day everyone & stay safe out there.

Tonight I made a Papaya and Coconut Chicken Salad. Not bad.

Happy Monday Gameboomers!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Meeting at the Eagles tonight. Drac, Birthday Cupcakes in the Break Room. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Monday morning! Thank you for the birthday wishes, everyone! Don't know how I feel about 78 though!

And thank you for the chocolate birthday cake, Gerry! But I will leave it for everyone else to enjoy along with their WADDB. Somehow I was born without the chocolate gene!

Oooo... a mere 93 degrees today. And like this every day until MAYBE Friday. Blech.

Gale force winds here, with the added bonus of torrential downpours. Both day AND night

Happy Birthday, Draclvr. Remember; getting old is better than the alternative.

Oldbroad, that chicken coconut salad looks really nice. I might try that.

I think I've finally found a cat sitter so I can do some travelling before I'm too old. She comes recommended by my veterinarian, the vet tech who does Willow's claws, and my Pilates instructor. I'm hoping to do a trip next year with a dear friend who has been battling cancer for years.

Yes! Oldbroad, forgot to tell you, I have bookmarked that salad. Sounds really good.

Perfect that you have found a cat sitter! Do that traveling before you can't!

Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready to start your day! Draclvr you are still young wait till you get to be my age in 4 years!

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Age is just a number, that's what I keep telling myself. Some how my body isn't listening. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

My body isn’t listening either, Connie 😱 Shucks !!

Good morning everyone. Stay safe Mad and feel free to send some of the rain this way. I'll eat your piece of chocolate cake Draclvr...no problem! Glad you found a sitter Hagatha. Time for a cup of WADDB and bagels to kick start my morning and then I think I'm off for a grocery shop this morning. Take care everyone and have a wonderful day.

Good Tuesday morning. Yes, I took my body aside and had a word. It didn't listen either!

Ooo.. a mere 90 degrees F today. I've had to start watering the perennial beds... I had shrubs that were dying. I have some huge arborvitaes which I'm going to have to take a soaker hose to also. They need a lot of water and I don't want them going into winter thirsty.

I still put out a quart of hummingbird food every couple of days. What I have now are the travelers on their way through heading south for the migration.

Good Afternoon.


I just got back from an appointment with a physiotherapist clutching two pages of exercises for my back and right shoulder. In my head I'm still 40 years old. Then I get out of bed and reality hits.

I sure know that feeling, hagatha! I reach for that other me all the time but I just can't get her out.

I hope you all are enjoying your Tuesday!

Good Morning connie, Mad, soot, Draclvr, hagatha, oldbroad, Fogfighter and everyone. Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready!

The only thing that helps me physically at my age is getting out and walking every day while I still can. It helps me both mentally and physically to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful countryside. I've lived in the same house we built back in 1969...56 years ago! Not much has changed in my small town...we are surrounded by State Forest and farmland...walking on country roads is quiet and peaceful.

Hope you all enjoy a Happy Hump Day!

Gerry

That sounds like a wonderful place and plan Gerry!

Keep up the good work, and keep brewing the WADDB.

Over here 16 Celsius and cloudy. Nice for a walk too.

Happy Wednesday GameBoomers!

Good morning everyone. Yes indeed motion is still the best lotion for the joints. Your country roads and forest sound wonderful Gerry. Groceries delayed to today so I'll enjoy some WADDB and bagels before heading out this morning. Take care and have a great day

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. I've lived in this house 58 years. It was orange groves and woods around us, now it's all built up. I liked it better the old way. Music Bingo at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.
