Lets Chat in 2022

LFF, I'm wondering if you're even half as tired as I am. While hoping the sale goes perfectly , I think I would have traded places with you.
A trailer in our park is being torn down after the squatters being evicted. (The owner died intestate (?) no will of her trailer/ Her children/child had simply moved in and neglected to pay lot rent. Thus eviction. The new owners of the park, wishing to upgrade, offered 19% lot rent cut for some of us to clear everything out of the trailer and two sheds. 5 or 6 of us took the offer and worked two days, about 5 hours each day, clearing everything except appliances. May GOD forgive me for judging, how people can live in such a mess is beyond my understanding. We filled two containers, each much larger than a dumpster, about 40 cubic yards each) I felt SO grubby after handling all the trash. Also pennies, dimes and a few nickles were scattered here and there. Remembering what Daddy used to say, "If you watch your pennies your dollars will take care of themselves." I saved every penny. I put them into a Bank and reminded our team leader to take it. We were told anything we could use, take it. I took some fishing gear to my son, most of which he tossed in his trash. My daughter and I took some paving blocks, 1 rake, a watering hose. That is all I can recall. There is SO much waste in our country! There was a Rubbermaid container filled with knit caps, boots, etc, all of which could have been given to Salvation Army instead of mildewing. In defense of the original owner, she died of cancer. Her children perhaps should know better?

That is a very sad story Joyous!

Did her kids happen to be on public assistance?  A lot of people who get things given to them don't take care of anything.
We only did about $400 worth today, but didn't sell anything big, like furniture.  I'm tired, but probably not as tired as you, Joyous.

Got my security light fixed outside, to light the yard, or, their version of fixed. It stays on 30 seconds and then off for a full one minute and 40 seconds. I guess it's another call to the customer service this morning. They came and removed the old one that was on a nice pole by error. How kind of them!

Good morning all!

Today is laundry day.  At least two loads of my own and a load of towels.  Sons do their own laundry  but I told them I would do the towels together.

Cloudy and humid today but warm enough for the windows to be open a little.  Love that fresh air!

Next week I want to try to wash windows and curtains.  Probably one room a day for that project.

Windwalker hope the light issue gets resolved for you and LFF hope the sale improves today.  I know you must be tired!

Just finishing off some chores then feet up for the rest of the day.

Glad and everyone enjoy your day.

Had to work a half hour past our closing time.  Then Michelle texted me and wanted me to run her around.  Got home and fed Chipper at 7- 3 hours late.  Yes I'm tired

I'm still tired out today. LFF, maybe you're more weary than I am. We could just call it a draw! And yes, her kids may e on Public assistance. I'm not sure. To me, all the more reason to take care of things.
I did one load of laundry, put my kohlrabi seedlings in pots of soil, visited Little Chuckie, did putz about in the gardens, perhaps it's age that makes me tired?
I would like to have helped you, LFF and your sister. Even though I NEED to get rid of STUFF, I would so love to look through the things he and his sister are selling.
Glad, I had planned to wash curtains. So far? Promises unkept!

Day 3 of the Estate Sale.  Made 400 first day, 200 second day- Lots of work on 2 cold days.  Today should be warmer.  Hoping to get rid of lots of stuff!

Strange as it seems when I overeat I get a better blood sugar reading?  Really not true but it sure seems like that.  This morning I had 158 and don't know why then I get to thinking it is caused by the glass of orange juice at bedtime.

Windy this morning.  I did a little gardening yesterday evening.  I need to plant a few more seeds today.  Kale I finally found and I also bought collards.

LFF I know you will be happy when the sale is done.  Get some rest!

I am looking forward to a nice relaxing Sunday with my feet up.

Glad and everyone enjoy your day.

Had nice weather for the sale.  Lots of customers.  Unfortunately. most of them were lookyloos.  We didn't make a lot of money, but we're getting rid of stuff!

That's good LFF.  Saturday is always a good day for a sale as long as the weather is nice.

I worked in the garden a couple of hours this afternoon and I believe I overdid it.  Will rest now.  A hot shower will help.

Son planted tomatoes and beans.  Soon we will put cucumbers and peppers out.  Can't wait till the garden starts producing.

Jackie, I suppose you're correct. It's just when I take on a job I feel I must finish it as soon as I can. I did rest quite a bit today. Saturday I consider Sabbath so very little physical labor.
I visited Little Chuckie. My son went fishing, came home early because he was due to take prepared food to a plane, which is his job. The lady who owns the business had the food ready. She got a call that flight was cancelled. That is disappointing for all concerned. Such is life.
Lovely day.

Today is day 4 of the Estate Sale- last day.  We have so much stuff to get rid of.  Will take offers today.  All the clothes will be donated to Christian Neighbors, a Charity, and we'll have to call someone next week to dispose of the rest.  We still have big items like a 3 piece dresser set, a queen size bed, with a pillowtop mattress, a desk, an antique wardrobe, a large bookcase, in addition to things like my Mom's 75 year old wedding dress, and 90+ year old ballerina dress.  And everything is in excellent condition.

Good morning to one and all. A mild Sunday morning starting here. It's not quite light yet. No plans for today, the baby birds have left the nest in the shop, and the roses are blooming out front, so Summer is close.

I love the smell of roses!  

Have a wonderful day Windwalker and Shouters!

Watched online church this morning and just going to enjoy Sunday. It's quite lovely out and lots of sunshine.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Looking forward to our afternoon if it doesn't rain.

Glad and everyone enjoy your day.

I enjoyed this beautiful day. Our first Wren inspected two of the 4 houses available for Wrens to raise their family. Wrens can enter much smaller doorways than any except Humming birds. Of course Hummers build their nests according to their own plan.

Partly cloudy this fine morning. I mowed the backyard yesterday. It's just about time to start on cleaning my shop out, before it gets too hot next month.

We're at 52F already at 11 a.m., and we're supposed to get way up to 53F today!
Went and looked at cars for Michelle today.  She didn't like the two we looked at.  I'm beginning to think she doesn't want me to buy one for her.

You can buy me a car if you want LFF.  I will let you.  

I slept til 10 am wow!  Must have needed it! 

I can't afford another car payment.  Fortunately, Michelle wants to buy this herself.

Grocery shopping today.  Oh! such fun.

Glad and everyone have a great day.

I'm satisfied with my 2000 Saturn, fortunately because it is much better than a car payment.
Jackie, one of the greatest joys of Spring is the return of the birds who fly away south. Robins are so pedestrian and friendly. Hummers entertain by hovering over their sweet nectar. Wrens! This morning we drove out into the countryside to buy some Dairy-DO, a supplement for the garden. While there we also bought yet another Wren house. Sure enough, as we sat on the porch, a pair of Wrens checked out two older houses and settled for the new house.
After visiting Little Chuckie, I set out some broccoli plants and some red cabbage plants.
I had washed the dish towels earlier. I wash then when there are only 4 clean ones. That gives me a decent size load.

I read it was good to put horse or cow manure on strawberries.  Tried it.  Big mistake!  I'm going back to using whipped cream.

    LFF!

OH you two!
I'm trying growing veggies in large, black bags this summer. The material is sort of like canvas and I'm trying to decide what material to put in the bottom. A suggestion was the foam peanuts or foam tubing. However I wonder if there may be something in them which causes harm to our body. I may use straw. Then soil of course. These bags have handles on each side and can be moved about.

Sounds good, Joyous!

Mornin' all!  I'll be going out to my Mom's again today.  My Sister and I have to move all unsold items from the house to the garage, and start packing up donations.  My Sister has lowered the prices on items she has on Marketplace, so hopefully we'll sell some today.  Otherwise, we'll have to dispose of everything we don't donate.

It's supposed to rain today, but you know me, I like the rain. No plans for today, just take it as it comes.

Mornin' Windwalker!  If there's any chance of rain, as there is here, it'll rain by my Mom's!

Last night, only a 45% chance for today. Now they say 100%. I'm not sure whey they even get paid.

Good morning,
Just finishing my second cup of coffee and then upstairs to ready the coffee for the morning.

Have a lovely day everyone.

Just going into town to exchange some pants I bought yesterday.

Glad and everyone enjoy your day.

I sort of enjoyed my day thus far.
My youngest son, Little Chuckie's keeper, isn't feeling well. Therefore I visited my doggie and will visit once more. Also went to Meijer for Advil, tea, cheese, eggs, orange juice, paper towels for him. FORGOT the bread! Thankfully my gr.daughter works at Meijer and got his bread. Our insurance refund check came. Nice surprise. It seems we have been paying more into the uninsured drivers fund than was used.
No planting today. Too cold.
Guess I will visit my doggie again soon.
Wishing all Shouters a peaceful evening and sound sleep tonight.

I was at my Mom's for about 5 hours today.  We have most of the stuff packed up and in the garage, but have a lot to do yet.

I know you will be glad to get it all done L

I took soon to mow my friend's yard then came home an slept for a 2 hour nap.  I sleep too much!

You do fine Glad!  I'm going to bed early.

I visited Little Chuckie twice today because my son wasn't feeling well. This evening he let me know he must be delivering sandwiches to a plane at 6:00 A.M.
I wish he could continue getting over whatever he has. He is the only driver the Lady has and she depends on him.
Goodnight all!

That is worrying Joyous, has your son tested for Covid?
I hope he soon gets better, jobs are precious.

Went to breakfast this morning.  Saw Michelle's new car.  Will go to Secretary of State with my Sister this afternoon.

Today off to exercise classes so a good day ahead.

Everyone have a good day.
