how about drinking?

Jazzy, good idea about volunteering, I thought about it but hadn’t taken any action yet.
It’s boring yes but hopefully not for long, DH and I will be packing up the house this winter and getting it ready to sell in Spring. Once we’re on the mountain full time, we will be finishing the interior of the cabin and building my she-shed/beach bar. When settled, I’ll have a garden, greenhouse and maybe a chicken coop to tend to.
Also, the property owners association on the mountain has an outbuilding with several thousand vhs movies on shelves in no particular order. If they’re still there when I get back, I am going to alphabetize them. It bugs me every time it see it, lol

Ill- I think there is a period of just allowing yourself to exhale with retirement. Many of my friends who have retired take a good year off to just relax, read, sleep in, travel, etc. Most of the people here either help with outdoor activities (city and national park volunteers, with music organizations, and I have a whole lot of friends whom help with animal rescues). You have to figure out where you passions lie (the environment, a hobby, politics, human rights issues, etc.)
I can't wait to hear what ideas you come up with....

Mornin Ladies,
We I do feel a bit better today so far, hope it stays.
Oh I loved retirement, except not the way I did. But like most of us we seemed to have worked our whole lives and I supported 2 girls without their father's help, but wi my folks help. But I always worked 1 and sometimes 2 jobs and I hated not being able to spend more time with my girls. So in my head when I was going to retire at 70, I would have decent money but cancer got me first and I didnt work til I was 70 and got all screwed up. That few more years would have given me another 1,000 .00 a month, anyway Ive never been bored at all not working, so it's hard for me to imagine.
So Kim what's going on with u, I of course don't get it, I thought everything was all set.
And Jazzy u've got one part thats not so good, ick, but the other 2 are right.
Lori those beans are gigantic, how do u make them, they look odd to me.YOUR DAUGHTER is coming in a week??? This is so exciting, how long is she staying. I sure hope it's a while, u can't see enough of her for sure.
Janky and Muddling u gals sound a little not happy, if I remember correctly, so I hope I'm wrong.
Well Les and Joey went to dinner at her "old stepbrothers" house and they both had a great time. My ex had 8 kids and 1 was pretty decent but his son was great, we got along s well when I was leaving his father he wanted to go with me, but of course he couldnt and they moved around a lot. Now he's like 2 towns over, married to his HS sweetheart and actually is happy with his own business. I think I told u that one of his sons killed a woman at her home, after doing work for her. Most of his kids were really screwed up, but a couple came out fine and Scot is one of them.
OK I'm back---phones and now I totally forgot what else I was going to ask or say. Damn.

Muddling, I understand lonely. We live on 80 acres, off the grid. But do love it here, been here almost 20 years.
Janky, I hope you get to do lots of traveling and to warmer temps!
Ill, as fast as time goes by, you will be able to do all of those things in no time at all.
Oh Cami, you certainly didn't need to get sick, but glad to hear you are on the mend. Glad that Jodie gets along with her half brother. Oh wait, you said step brother, oh well. What a bummer that you missed out on that extra cash, but cancer got you first. Damn Rat BasTURD. The beans are pressure canned. Yes, my DD will be here in a week, but only for about a week, def. not long enough.
NM, sleeping in this am?

goldie0827, we're on about 80 acres too. I didn't ever think of it as lonely when we were younger and had friends over, then when my son was here with friends in and out and even after he left home I was so doggone busy with working on the place, I didn't have time to be lonely. I like peace and quiet! It's lately, when just about all I can do is sit on my backside and look out the window most days, that I feel lonely. I'm not even sure that's the right word. Also the land around us has been sold and divided so now we have....neighbors. I don't like people that close with all their noise and bright lights. If you choose to live in the country, accept that it's dark out here, dammit. I can't even see the stars like I could with all the &%$+# dusk to dawn lights. I hate this!! Paradise lost. End of rant, :- |

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Hump Day! Waking up to rain and much warmer temps this ayem. Lots of fog around, the air is just saturated with moisture. There's even talk about possible thunder storms this peeyem. Quite the weather shift from the other day when there were frost warnings up!Gotta love Maine falls. Just crazy. The apple orchards are opening up, cider won't be far behind, definite signs of fall. Sadie is bringing in all kinds of burdocks, which is not fun. Them things is sticky!
Jazzy--Glad to hear the numbers are better with the Trulicity. The A1C isn't too bad, but trend is the wrong direction. I'm glad you were able to get back on the original regimen that works so well for you. Fall weather in Maine is fun, always changing, always something to be looking at and enjoying.
Goldie--I wondered if beans needed pressure canning. I know some things require pressure and not just water bath. Has to do with acidity, if I remember correctly.
Muddling--it must be hard to be so far away from everyone.
Janky--Yup, Maine weather is similar to Quebec in many ways. I think the cold comes into Quebec before it gets to Maine, at least the Arctic weather patterns move that direction. I did my first two years of nursing school at UMO. Big campus, lots of students from lots of places. So many end up in Florida in the end, though!
Illi-Wow, sounds like the mountain place is going to be really, really nice. Garden, greenhouse, chickens--all will keep you occupied. Alphabetizing the videos will be quite the job! But probably very greatly appreciated once you've finished it. At least for you!
Cammy--so sorry you caught Joey's crud. Oh, good, you are feeling better! That's good. I kind of though the transfer was pretty well set, too, but the main office is too busy and short staffed and the other office is in a bit of a slump, so they won't let me transfer yet. Eventually it will happen, or something else will come along. I'm trying to stay patient. All families have some skeletons hidden away, don't they?And some really good people in them.
Goldie--yup, hit the snooze before dragging myself out of bed this ayem. Thanks for covering the DOTD!It looks great!
Muddling--too much change, not all of it good!

Mornin' Ladies,
Sandy I forgot to thank u about the soup it was exactly what I was talking about and now I know, if it's good or not cuz I trust ur taste buds for sure.
I just put my heat o, I'm so cold, but it'll probably get warmer later.so well see.
Muddling u and Lori both live way out far. But I wonder if ur lonely really. Maybe u just have to get used to a slower type of life. For over 20 yrs I lived alone oh wit neighbor <just like now> and if I saw them I always talked but just a little. Now when they or my kids friends come over I go out say hello and come right back into my world---well some of them I've known for a while ad they come in her and cuddle with me for a while---but I go days barely seeing my own family, I don't want to interfere in their lives and I don't want to be bothered either. Of course the only one that comes in here anytime and as long as he wants is Joey Anyone else just stays a little bit, unless of course if it's important. If it wasn't for my health I would still live alone. It's funny to cuz I really enjoy being around the people I really care about alot and I talk a lot too.
I dont know why I just can not keep up with what day it is, I have to consistently look at the calender.
BTW Muddling rant whenever u want. Were all here for u. I know I do. Right now I think I have to go back to sleep for a while I've had 2 cups of coffee but my eyes are still cockeyed <yes Lori, that's the right word.>

Muddling, you can rant when ever you like, we don't mind at all, then just have one the Tenders bring you a libation of your choice. We don't have anyone that has lights on at night, except for in the house, since we are all off grid and use solar. All of the lots out here are 40 acres. My nearest neighbor is on the furthest side of his (from me) and we are on the furthest side from him. Perhaps you are bored, instead of lonely?
NM, glad you got a little sleep in. And yes, some things HAVE to be pressure canned. It uses a lot less water, only about an inch, where a water bath has to come up over the jars. The pressure has to reach a certain number of pounds and steam starts to escape out of a hole in the lid, you have to let that steam escape for about 10 minutes and then put the weight on it. Now you have to weight for it to reach the recommended pounds and then start timing. So it's not really any quicker.

Cami, I think you hit the nail on the head. I can't do much and I haven't adjusted yet and I doubt that I will. It's mourning in a way, missing the old me and feel I bad that DH has to do almost everything now. I'm going to have to work on that. I hope you are feeling better from strep throat! That is yucky stuff and painful.
Goldie, yes, bored could be part of it. I hope you are getting some rest! Our garden is mostly gone. We just have a few volunteer tomato plants trying hard to make some cherry tomatoes. They aren't too pretty but they are fresh and good on a salad. We do still have lots of peppers. I'll string the cayennes to dry and we'll freeze the banana peppers and bell peppers.
NM, yes, not too happy here but I am trying to remember my blessings. I also may need to talk to the MO about it. Reluctant to take even more meds, but maybe for a little while. I love your Sadie stories. Such personality! We have a beloved senior doggie and will likely not get another dog after this one. I hope my DH will move closer to some family when I am gone and it will be easier without pets. What will be hard will be leaving the land that has been in his family for 150 years.
Everybody, have a good day today!

Turn the heat on, turn the heat off. Turn the A/C on, turn the A/C off. Lather, rinse, repeat. Welcome to Chicago's "shoulder seasons" (early fall, much of spring). Woke up to 52F. Got all the way up to 67 today. 54 now, 50 by dawn. 69 tomorrow. Stormed very briefly and violently Tues. evening, but mostly in the far NW & SW burbs. We didn't even lose a tree branch. Took the L downtown to the Loop and watched the scary dark gray "shelf" cloud rolling in from the west. Made it down to the street & into the Bar Assn. bldg. just as the first raindrops hit. The storm was so fast-moving that it was in & out in less than 1/2 hr.
Tues. night was the first chorus rehearsal for the Bar Show. Once again I am a "utility infielder:" nominally a mezzo/first alto but pressed into service for everything from second soprano down to second tenor--wherever they need me. Many ensemble numbers this year--the toughest ones being parodies of "Jellicle Cats" from Cats (only we're singing & dancing rats) and "Raise You Up/Just Be" from Kinky Boots. "A Musical" from Something Rotten and "Mamma Mia" (about Rahm, of course) are much easier. I know I've been cast in a couple of quartets (fingers crossed that I get to be Angela Merkel again; in the other number I will either be a guitar-playing weed-growing aging hippie leading three other singers, or a singing avocado (don't ask). Naturally, in the closer I will be one of 50 lawyers--whatta stretch! The Cats number has brutal time signature changes, key modulations, harmonies ping-ponging between 2, 3, 4 and 6-part, and a range from a low B to a high F# (and that's just us mezzos). DOTD yesterday was a splash of Barefoot Pinot Noir at the post-rehearsal nosh party before I got back on the L and headed home.
Got an e-mail from Apple saying the new Apple Watch 4s are now in stock at my local Apple Store (Old Orchard) and if I wanted I could cancel my order (for late Oct. delivery) and re-order to pick it up today. Well, duh. Got the 40mm gold-finish aluminum (actually, a rose gold) which matched the rose-gold magnetic Milanese mesh band I bought on Amazon for $10 (as opposed to $150 at the AppleStore). Came with a "pink sand" fabric "sport loop" velcro band. Didn't take too long to set up, and I got an instant $115 credit for trading in my old one. (They let me keep the original white silicone band that came with it; and all the 38mm bands fit the 40mm watches). Right on cue, Bob called me on my watch, saying he was heading to Cellars for dinner, so I got there in half an hour. A flute of prosecco was waiting for me.
The EKG app won't be ready till Dec., but the new and improved heart sensor can detect A-fib, tachycardia and bradycardia and alert me to them. Also, it can tell when I've fallen. One press of the side button and it dials 911. Beats the hell out of wearing an ugly white plastic "Help-I've-Fallen-&-I-Can't-Get-Up" pendant and paying a monthly fee for monitoring.
Tomorrow is the pre-penultimate hand therapy session before I see my surgeon and he turns me loose. I had a lot of pain this morning--stabbing, burning, throbbing--but also in my R thumb, knees and tibial hardware. I was warned I would be a human barometer (front moved through) and they weren't kidding. Tonight I took my CBD oil--maybe it'll help.

Muddling, my garden still has tomatoes, picked another 70 yesterday.
Sandy, your post made me chucle several times! Good luck on the new gig. Good grief woman, what time did you edit? 3am?
More canning to do now, but going to town today, and need to get labs done as well. Gosh, I hate that!
I see we lost a sister, I've been following the thread for our dear PattyPeppermint. I know some of you here knew her and posted. I feel like she suffered for a long time. So a DOTD in her honor.

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy thirsty Thursdasy! I just had a moment of total confusion. I was looking at yesterday's note on my split screen and thought "Did Inot post on Thursday?" before realizing TODAY is Thursday! I've been working 4 days weeks for so long that I forgot I was working a 3 day week this week, and thought I had missed a day without realizing it! Good heavens, life is crazy!And people wonder why I cross days off on my calendar--it's so I can figure out what day it is! I asked Sadie, but she doesn't care about days of the week and dates of the month. She just cares about food, tummy tickles, treats and cuddles. And catching the squirrel that is teasing her!
Cammy-I put the heat on the other day, too. Then it got warm again, today it's chilly again. Sigh. Maybe not being able to keep up with what day it is comes from ageing? I never used to have this problem!
Goldie--pressure canning sounds dangerous!But then, I've never used a pressure cooker. I know Mom used to can a lot but I think she only did the water bath technique.
Muddling--It's funny how we've been conditioned to judge fruit and veggies by appearance rather than taste. Retirement must involve at least some mourning, it's a change and a big one after all.All change involves some level of loss, and losses need to be mourned. I can't imagine living without a dog, but lots of people say and do the same thing at retirement, no more dogs after the current one. I suppose it does make a lot of things easier. Leaving the family land has got to be hard.Will the land still be in the family at all? Sadie is quite the personality, I agree!
Chi--Don't you just love these crazy weather days? Wow, sounds like an ambitious Bar Show this year! Nice deal on the watch. Being a human barometer is not all the fun it's made out to be, is it? Hope the CBD oil works.
Goldie--so sad to hear about Patty Peppermint. Love the DOTD in her honor.

NM if DH sells out after I'm gone, the land will leave the family. I don't know if he will but it would be the best for him. It's too much for one man to look after now.

Hi ladies- a bit of sad news today but just in case you knew her- PattyPeppermint made her transition today. I know several of you have been on Insomniacs in the past, and that is where I met her too. There has been a dedicated thread for her for awhile now, and know I have seen some of you there as well.
She used to always say "hootie hoo" to us all, on the Insomniacs thread where the "night owls" live. I think whenever I see anything owl in the future, I will remember her great sense of humor through it all.
0 -
RIP, PattyPeppermint--may her memory be for a blessing. Wish they still sold Vandermint (Dutch chocolate-mint liqueur in a windmill-adorned Delft-style bottle)--a shot of that would be a fine DOTD tribute.
Lori, I posted close to 3am, as I'm a night owl. Had to kibble the kitties at 2am, and wait for the CBD oil to kick in.
Found out today that the "help, I've fallen and I can't get up" function on my watch will auto-dial 911 if I don't respond to an "are you ok?" notification w/in 30 sec. So if I'm conscious and want 911, I can push the button and call; but if I don't want to have the EMTs come out and the city later bill me for an unnecessary ambulance, I can respond "I'm OK" and hold off the EMTs. The difference between the watch's fall-detector function and those medical-alert pendants is that the latter don't necessarily kick in if the button doesn't get pushed and/or the patient is unconscious or otherwise cannot respond. (And there's no monthly monitoring fee for the watch).
Also found out at OT today that based on my progress, the surgeon will probably discharge me from therapy next Wed.!

NM, sorry you got your days messed up, but at least it was a day you didn't have to go to work, vs. the other way around. As for the pressure cooker, I hesitated when I was thinking of getting one, then decided it's a must if there are certain things I want can. Guess you need to teach Sadie how to use a calendar......LOL! OMG, the looks of fruit and veggies vs taste. Fruit out here has no taste what so ever. If you closed your eyes while eating, you most likely won't be able to tell what it is, unless texture gives it away.
Muddling, you can't leave the land to the children? Or is that a no, due to their locations.
Sandy, take away the time difference between us, you go to bed about the time I get up! I got my mom a medic alert necklace, sent it back, cuz it doesn't detect where you are, so you have to be concious enough to give them your name and address.
It happened again, while out yesterday a man came up to my husband and wanted to know if I was his daughter or his wife! LOVE IT!

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy TGIF day! Gray, gloomy and chilly here today, got the heat on for a bit this ayem. House temp was 58 when I got up this ayem. That is just TOO cold for me in the mornings! Sadie is warming up the recliner so that will be nice and cozy when I'm done on the computer and ready for TV time. She is so good at warming the recliner and warming the bed and warming my feet in the chilly weather! I can't believe it's almost October. The time is flying by.
Muddling--that is a lot of property to look after!
Jazzy--so sad. Glad there is a happy memory of her to share!
Chi--Is all that functioning on your watch an app or part of the watch itself?It sounds really interesting, and something that would be good for both Mom and Dick to have.
Goldie--LOL at the daughter or wife question! Oh my, Vandermint Liquour, havn't seen that in AGES!I must find some in honor of Patty P.

goldie, my DH couldn't afford to move to the way-more-expensive metro area unless he sold out everything here. I don't know what he will do but it's my advice for him when he finds himself alone here. It's a dilemma.
0 -
Muddling, don't sell your self (life) short, but I certainly understand. Can you try to sell now and both of you move somewhere? I know where we are, it is a very poor city, and jobs are not many and at least an hour away. We have tried to sell our house/business, with no luck. Our business is quite profitable, but where we live, it's not for every body.
Anyways, did my labs yesterday, TM's are up quite a bit, so as you can imagine, wavering over that wabbit hole. I see my onc on Tuesday and pick up my DD as well. Suppose to go camping, but Hurricane Rosa may put a damper on that. Temps cooling and rain. Hurricane in Arizona....LMAO! So, I will be reading, can't promise to post tho, but I will try. I want to keep my life as normal as I have been, and you all are a part of that! My mom isn't doing too well, but it could be just a few days of that. Zeus, whom we had found a home for, an animal shelter found him tied to a bumper at a flea market, no food or water. They took him and he is chipped in my son's name, so they called him. Said he was deaf, blind, could hardly stand, in pain (hip dysplasia) and didn't really want to eat, so they are going to put him down. My son will be in Michigan in a week and said he would like to see him one more time, but they said it wouldn't be fare to Zues to make him suffer longer than need be. Why can't they put us down like that? Poor Patty, I think suffered for a long time, and that is one thing I really don't want to do. Scalded and peeled maters, DH helped, will can them tomorrow.
Love to all my loungettes!
0 -
So sorry to hear about poor Zeus.
The fall detection & auto-dialing of 911 (or one-push dialing if you want to do it yourself) is built into the watch's firmware (it's not part of WatchOS5 or 5.1). So is the heart rate monitoring. which uses an optical sensor. The electronic heart sensor is in there for the EKG app, which will be available to download as firmware (i.e., a software program for this model of watch, Series 4, only).

Good morning friends- the weekend is here! Super busy week at work this past week, and some challenges with some client issues, but we got through a lot of them. We are preparing for a pilot with 250 clinicians and have a lot going on. I spent some long days there this week and decided to cut out midday yesterday but then realized, with things going on, I needed to change my strategy. I have not been to bc yoga in almost 2 months and love the Friday afternoon class so I left a bit afternoon, did that class, some errands and then went back to talk to the director and CTO and finish my end of the week status reporting. Don't tell anyone, but I was home doing the status reporting with a glass of french rose in hand. I was done by 6 p.m. and then enjoyed some more wine!
My favorite month of Sept is almost done now, went so quickly with having new work but going to get out this weekend to do some change of season things here at home, but also plan to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather. Today is a haircut and lunch with a professional colleague (also a bc survivor) and then a bike ride maybe later. Tomorrow I am meeting friends for an Octoberfest!
Goldie- we heard about the hurricane coming off the Pacific that is headed this way. Folks here both want the moisture but in advance of balloon fiesta that begins a week from today. I think we heard midweek. And hurricanes in the Pacific? Not too common. The news here is forecasting a wetter than normal winter because of El Ninjo. I hope the rain does not impact your camping trip friend.
Sorry to hear about the TM's being up. Stay with us here and don't go down the rabbit hole. We will wait to hear what the docs say.
Muddling- being isolated as we age is not a good thing. I live alone, and no family around me but do live in an urban area, many friends around, etc. I have often thought about when I retire to live in northern NM (my favorite place here), but know it would not allow me good access to healthcare and social interactions. Figuring out where to go is not easy. I get AARP and often look at their ratings of places to live as you age. Maybe if it is more of an exploration it won't be as scary to think about. Just some ideas......
NM- 58 in the house, eek! It is that cold outside in the mornings now which is lovely. How is the foliage where you are? I hope you are enjoying the fall up there, so pretty in Maine. Are there apples around? I am craving something home made with apples (may go for some tomorrow at the farmers market).
Cami- I think I read you picked up some of the crud going around in the household. How are you feeling this weekend friend?
Big shout out to everyone here too! Have a good start to da weekend!

Yesterday aft. I felt a bit chilly, and checked the thermostat--61 degrees indoors! Yikes--time to turn the heat back on. Cranked it up to 68, which was still a bit chilly at the back of the house, radiators felt stone cold. Took a look into the den off the kitchen--and the awning window was open, crisp breezes blowing through the screen. Heidi (who likes to threaten birds, from the safety of indoors) was delighted, but not I. I pulled the window shut. At bedtime, my weather app said it was 46 outside, so I set the thermostat to 72, the temp reads 74. Nice & toasty in the bedroom upstairs, but downstairs I put a hoodie on (not zipped) over my PJs.
Last night Bob brought home leftover filet mignon, baked potato & rice pudding. I added some garlic green beans and half a tomato. We had half a bottle of Fess Parker 2017 Santa Rita Hills Rosé of Pinot Noir in the fridge, so instead of cracking open or Coravin-ing a red, I had the rosé. Should have bought more than one bottle.
Last Sunday friends had us over for lasagna. Was going to bring a bottle of Chianti, but spied a couple of bottles of Crown Winery 2011 Sangiovese, the grape from which Chianti is made. Where is Crown Winery? Humboldt, TN. That's right--smack dab between Memphis & Nashville. In 2013, we played a guitar festival there, and at the VIP/performer cocktail hour reception I asked if the winery grew any vinifera (as opposed to the hybrids most wineries outside the usual US winemaking areas--CA, OR, WA, MI, VA, PA, North Fork of LI--grow). They said Sangiovese, but they were short-stocked on it and thus not pouring it for tasting. So the next morning before leaving for some recording down in southern IL, I visited the sales room and bought a couple of bottles (along with two each of the hybrid Chardonel and their Methode Traditionelle bubbly--big mistake, they were awful, but they tasted good the night before after a day of Yoom Kippur fasting). We opened it, figuring "here goes nothing," and it was delightful and beautifully balanced--as good as any WA or LI Sangiovese I've tasted. No, it's not available anywhere but the winery, and it may not even be available online.

Hi girls,
I just wanted to pop in again to say hello to all my breasties. I have not yet read, have to catch up!
I had a wonderful interview for a level 4 loan processor at TD Bank, a bank here on the East coast and it went very well. They are looking for a mortgage processor for their "wealth pod" and I have experience working with high net worth clients. The interview went very well and I am so hopeful. If you can all say a prayer that would be appreciated.
I am still dealing with this string thing hanging out of my stomach. It is getting more painful and I can't continue to put it off. The issue is that I am too afraid of plastic surgeons and am not sure if a regular surgeon will know what to do with it. I really have to get on it and make some calls. I smoke medical marijuana and also take 80 mg of ibuprofen twice a day for the pain. It stings so bad. I am just stooooped for not taking care of this since the thread or mesh (or whatever it is) has been hanging out for several months.
I am watching little Logan today, he is so much fun (he is my grandson for those that do not know). He is so polite, he says excuse me anytime he wants to speak, cracks me the hail up!
Well ladies, hope you all have a fantastic weekend.
Oh btw, thinking of Mema Sue and thinking she had her MX by now. I have to jump back and see if she has updated.
You are all in my prayers.
Love you goils berry berry much!
ChEErS one and all! Dwink up!!!!!!

MemaSue, just saw your post, glad the MX is over. Wishing you quick healing and also glad to read that the pathology was good. Wooo hoooo! You are in my prayers girl, sending you lots and lots of lubslubslubs! xoxoxoxoxo

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Sunday Funday! Just kicking around the house with Sadie today. Finally got Audible on my Amazon Firestick so I can listen to audiobooks while doing housework, makes the time go faster while doing tedious chores. Not sure if Sadie listens to the stories or not, she is either sleeping or "helping" when I do housework. Otherwise not much else going on today. Had a nice bean suppah with Mom and Dick and a whole bunch of other people that I don't know yesterday. Good food, lots of talk about people I know nothing about. But good to see them, anyway!
Goldie--so sorry to hear about Zues. So not fair to him. And it is too bad we can't perform the same kindness to suffering people. Sorry to hear about the TMs. Try to stay out of the wabbit hole, ok?
Chi--amazing what a watch can do these days!
Jazzy--I love doing little things for work with a glass of wine in hand and nobody knowing any different! Don't forget to take care of yourself during this project!I learned that from you! The leaves are just beginning to turn here, but the predictions are for a not so vibrant color year this year. Too dry recently, and lot of leaves are already falling with any breeze at all. We're just getting into the warm days/cool nights we need to trigger the colors. Apples orchards have started opening, the yield is expected to be mixed this year, with lots of microclimate influence this year. There were lots of torrential rainfalls that hit some areas and not others. The apple orchard on one side of me has opened, but with limited types of apples available, the apple orchard on the other side of me hasn't opened yet, but the trees look really loaded. I'm waiting for the Honey Crisp apples, I like them best for eating and cooking but they ripen a bit later than the Courtlands and Macs and some of the others.
Jazzy-- I saw the Bocelli father and son clip on FB, too!Gave me the shivers!
Chi--I had a Rosé of Pinot Noir recently that I loved, glad you mentioned it, I need to get some more. I am continuously surprised at where wine grapes are grown! Too bad that so good wine is so hard to find.
Dara!! I am praying for the position, I know that bank, they have branches even up here in Maine. Please do get that string taken care of, anything hanging out like that can be a pathway for infection and you do not need to go through that again!Besides, if it hurts, it needs to be dealt with.

Having a rough time. I don't think this belongs here, but.... On Monday 24th I wake up and go to work a wife and before lunch I am a widow. My husband had a sudden heart attack. We had a nice memorial service on Thursday evening and this Friday coming we will have a military honors service. I am doing ok and I have lots of family close. The feels different.
I have been drinking wine a lot. Which ends now, because I need to go back to work.
Not asking for sympathy or any thing. I just might pop in and put something weird on here.
