Thanks, rr. I hope so as well. Just realized I haven't gotten myself a new computer in over 10 years! The one that I'm replacing used to belong to...

LOL. I don't know why, but I always delay opening new tech stuff. I enjoy it all, but that initial opening... I don't know. Okay - I'm weird....

I generally skim through headlines that show up on the Yahoo or MSN home pages. I haven't watched regular news in a long, long time. It was just...

Not frugal, but a purchase - went a got a new laptop. Decent price and includes Word, etc., so I'm happy. Haven't taken it out of the box yet,...

Thanks, nswef. And Yum on the Alfredo sauce. Way back when - when I had occasion to have a meal alone, I would sometimes buy a jar of alfredo sauce,...

Dinner is zucchini patties/burgers and left over corn on the cob. It has been a "food prep" day. I've had fresh product sitting on my kitchen...

Very nice, rr. I hope you do well at the sale, even if a little one.

Glad you are doing okay, flowers. Sending prayers to all in the area.

All so cute! Love the faces! Just a question... I didn't see any holes to run string to hang the ornaments. Are they not those types of ornaments?...

So cute!!

I agree - interesting. The one thing I usually think of with these types of underground "fortresses" is that - the easiest way to evict people is to...

Thanks for the update! Continued prayers for safety.

That's a lot of peppers/stuffed peppers!!!!

Wonderful prepping, flowers! Prayers and positive energy that all will be safe.

I would love to find a place like this - size and price - in my area/surrounding area! I could live without the basement, but it's just the size I...

I'm declaring the yard sale yesterday a success! Got rid of more than I thought I would, made a little bit of money and have about 5 items out of the...

Busy day already so I threw together a chicken stew in the crockpot. Will only have to thicken and season. Also have some sourdough rolls rising.

I love parades. And that's funny about first gear. LOL Glad it all worked out.

Thanks, catherine and IL. They have finally found a sub - a 16 year old working towards a car - LOL. Very motivated, but still a kid. I'm very...

This is just a big whine.... Night shift co-worker is now out for medical reasons until October 25th. (Has been off and on for the last 5...

They have such car shows, off and on throughout the summer, down the main street of the little town one of my siblings lives in. We'll go over every...

I am in the process of preparing for a yard sale and I know that I should go through the bookshelves. I'm holding on to some books that I keep...

I have been extremely delinquent in cooking dinner lately. May just do a simple pasta and meatballs for tonight.

If I may ask, in what way are they calling her "family"? I can see being welcoming and inclusive to the family - mainly as being respectful to...

Prayers that everyone is safe.

My old car! It's being donated and picked up today. Bought a sibling's Rav4 hybrid. That's also one check mark off the retirement to-do!

Most humans are such softies when it comes to their pets. LOL. IL, you have become quite the cat person!

I, too, recognize the name. Nice to see you back. I love how your story has ended up so far. Hoping for as much success when I retire - in about 6...

I totally agree on your analysis of FLowers In the Attic. I hate anytime kids get hurt, neglected, etc. The book was a sad comment on parenting -...

Congrats on finding the stone. Maybe a birthday/holiday gift could be a new setting of your own design!

Chairs were taken shortly after putting them out. Just sold the rain barrel yesterday. Was going to put it out in the upcoming town wide yard...

Read both of those - such sad reads! Still trying to get through Les Miserables

That sounds really, really good. Did you make it? Recipe?

Rave once again to family - this time to a bil in particular. I am back on my laptop!!! New hard drive and lost everything, but that's okay. Kind of...

Just put two older wooden kitchen type chairs out on the "Magic Sidewalk"... fingers crossed that someone takes them! lol

As I just posted up in Raves - I am now using this netbook as primary internet access, as my laptop went Kaput! Hoping it can be fixed. Glad this one...

My rave is for holding onto old technology - lol. By way of explanation - my laptop is not working. Have been trying to do stuff on my tablet - which...

My new message on the land line answering machine (yes, very old school. lol) is: "Friends and family please listen to this entire message. Due...
