Hello All!
Ann use the microwave to dry herbs. It is quick and they keep their bright green colors. Just lay them on a paper towel and turn to a midium heat for 30 seconds at a time until crisp.
Shelly when I am able to take car rides we will be getting up your way. It would be great to finally meet.

Hello Everyone!
Cathy at least you have a life to tell us about. I love hearing about your adventures.
All I am doing is staying home trying to heal.
My balance is off and I fell the other day and just a few min ago, I dropped my sandwich and bend down and picked it up and stretched my back which I am not supposed to do. Now I am sore again. It was a reflex and I hope I didn't mess up my internal stitches.

Good Morning Everyone. It is a beautiful morning.
Gordon no wonder I worry... I looked at the doc's list of my allergies and they missed some big ones! Iodine and IvP dies. The last time a doc gave me Iodine, I almost died! I'll call the nurse in the morning tomorrow and make sure the list is changed.
Lizzie loves our new neighborhood. Nearly everyone has dogs. She getting a lot of attention while out with DH for walks and we put a fence up in the yard for her to run.
I think we will have to have her teeth cleaned at the vet. Her breath would knock you over all of the sudden. She does not chew on anything, never has, so her teeth are gross. Any idea how to clean them without putting her to sleep? -

Hello all.
Don't spend much time on the computer since I am in a lot of back pain. Sitting too long hurts!
Shelly Patterson's name is James. I don't like the women's Murder Club books...boring.
I have read tons of books sine this pain started in Sept. I have been reading Amish stories. They are wholesome not gory.
Thank for the BD wishes no matter when they came. LOL
Our new neighbor is a master gardener and she has planted some flowers in our garden. I can't wait to see what pops up since I can't bend to plant. Her yard is lovely to look at. I just planted boxes that hang on the deck rail and some ferns on the porch. I can't use this picture thing so can't show you pics.
Well sat too long. Going to ly down now. I do read this chat ever day or so. Hope everyone is safe. God Bless You. Pray for me next Thursday, May 12. My back surgery is set for then.

We moved boxes yesterday and I picked up more than I should have and my hernias are hurting today, so I'll leave the lifting to others. Hollowrock Dave came yesterday and helped with his truck.
My 89 year old aunt wants to help so I am having her cut shelf paper. She is so cute to want to help. We did 6 loads of boxes and it looks like we haven't made a dent in the stack.

Susan our foster daughter was doing similar to us and we just didn't want any more stress. I told her and her boy friends not to call us any more because I was sick of all of it. We didn't bother with each other for 6 years. We are talking to each other again and the BS is starting all over, so it won't be long before we tell them to go away again.

Max we are busy still packing and moving boxes into the garage. Foster Daughter and her friend helped last night and will come back when they have time to move more. All my old Christmas and holiday stuff is out of the attic now.
We stopped over to the new house today and the hardwood floors were being installed. I really like them. The tile is in the laundry and Bath Rooms and the kitchen cabinets are in, too so everything is moving right along.
We will close on the 24th and then many people who offered to help will move the boxes into the new house. The furniture movers will finish up Aug 3 and 4. Because of the antiques, they won't stack anything.
Cathy full moon tonight and sky is a bit couldy so not much to see except for the circle around the moon.

I will go back to PT and see if they can help me with it.I love the new cardiologist and I am off the blood thinners! Yay! He said that the A Fib was episodal and not constant so it isn't a worry for stroke. (Spell check didn't work for episodal, Tincey!)

We had two inches of heavy rain last night. I am afraid to go out and look at my potted plants. I put some of them on the porch steps to get watered! We needed rain but not so much at a time. Also had tornadoes in the surrounding area north and East of here.
Our agent called others in the area with two story houses and they aren't getting any lookers either. I think it is the bad school system. Most of the people here either home school or send their kids to Catholic schools.
We went to check on the new house and they have most of the siding on and will start the stone in a few days. The plaster guys are working inside, too. It is amazing to watch them walking on stilts like they are wearing street shoes. We met some more neighbors yesterday and they showed us their house which is a different model. I like ours better!

The foliage is pretty tho. Oh are we going to have a zillion cukes! Tomatoes not as good but neighbor gives us them.

Hello all.
Liz is a small 34 pound English Setter. Not big at all. She is a crazy jumping Jack! But very loving and sweet. She eats nothing that we don't put in her bowl or hand to her, so when we have guests we can have goodies on the coffee table and she never even smells them. My sister's dog is a sweet Labradoodle but is a human vacuum. Can't have any food out any where when she is here and have to hide the garbage can in the laundry room.
Goodnight all and God Bless You!

It is a ravine with lots of wild flowers. I am going to do a friendship garden there, too.

Good Morning Everyone!
I do read before bed but don't always feel like chatting.
Max our plug in the laundry room is half way up the wall also.
The house has doors and windows now and the concrete is poured on the porch and garage. We met a man there to talk about the deck. Then we went to his store to see the displays of all the choices. Wood is cheaper but I think we should go low maintenance. The yard isn't very big and is not graded yet so we have to wait for the fence measurement. The front windows are very long with a transom over it and very narrow, so the blinds that we bought on sale won't fit.
I'll take pics of the clematis today. It is gorgeous. I am trying to root some so I can plant at the new house. Also have some false indigo in a pot to take. I will miss my private back yard and the view out front but I guess I'll get used to it.

We are going over to the model home today to measure the windows since Penneys has the blinds that I want on a 50% off sale. I'll measure the shelves in the kitchen also so I can cut shelf paper while I am sitting around exhausted at night.

Susan I had heritage plants in our 1850's house in Crafton. The old woman who lived there brought them from her granma's farm. I got books to figure out what they were and put the names on Popsicle sticks, so I could do more research after I ID them all. Different old roses lined the corner surrounding the front yard. They were small but beautiful. Well we took a family of Foster kids and they helped me in the yard by getting rid of all of those sticks in the flowers!. So much for all my work!

They came a t 8:15 and the carpet cleaner came at 11, so all the tidying that we had done was undone. And now we have to put it all back where it belongs.

For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer. -

Whew I am tired.
I didn't have PT since the wind blew the electricity out. So I came home and took the fall decorations up to the attic and brought down the big Christmas wreathes that I haven't used since the B&B and put them on the porch railings. Also did 3 loads of laundry and made tuscan kale blend for over pasta for dinner and invited my DS and hubby for dinner.( and their dog of course) 85 pounds of sweetness!
My neighbor called to tell me to run outside to see the biggest rainbow that we have ever seen. It didn't last long since it is so windy, But it was gorgeous!
We'll be leaving for TX Wed. so had to do the laundry and pack. I am so disorganized this time. Not happy to fly on the day before Thanks giving! It's got me discombobulated!!! LOL

Max never heard of fitted Bed spreads....just sheets.
Shelly I'll ask DH if he wants to sell them. I want religious ones for the holidays.
Bob yes he got them out of the machine since he didn't want to wait in line.

Susan the flea eggs are on a two week cycle, so if you do the flea treatment closer to the two weeks from when you gave them the first treatment. It should be better. Also clean and de flea your carpets and furniture in two week increments.My friend had a bad problem and we looked it up several years ago.

Hi everyone!
Max Avon was a glass company not all marked Avon is the cosmetic co. I just found that out a couple of years ago.
Susan my cat whacky cousin has to be out of her apt by the 27th. I told her if she gets rid of the cats, she can stay here for the holidays. She said that she has found a nice small house that she might buy with some help from a friend. I am encouraging her to get the cats out of there before moving. They have made a mess of the apt. I will give her an antique bed but not if she still has the cats to ruin it.

Susan I need some advice. My crazy cousin has about 30 cats and kittens in a one room apartment. She is being evicted and has to get rid of her babies. I know most do not have shots or have been "fixed" What can she do with them. She has a month to get out. She doesn't want them to go to a place where they will be put to sleep. She lives in Pittsburgh PA. I can't help because of my allergies, but would like to find out who she can contact. She has no money since the cats cost 300 a month to feed. She is retired and at the end of her rope. She has no clue where she will go.

Max it is glass that I have bought to use for the last 20 years or so. When I had the B&B I used it more than I do now. We belong to a Pittsburgh Historic Glass Club and are doing some research for the club. We will display some of the glass at their antiques show in Feb. so I am trying to ID it.
