Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.

Oh my goodness. You wouldn't believe how much they are getting done. The dad is doing heroics out there with the wilderness in my garden. What a nice family!!! I am truly blessed! I will have a truckload of vegetation to be hauled away.
A real estate lady is coming over tomorrow afternoon to take a look and let me know what needs doing around here. Prayers that it go well would be appreciated.
Indeed they are blessing you, Praise The Lord!

I have hiked down those stairs at the Pt. Reyes Lighthouse in California.
Coming back up, I had to let people pass me by, so I could rest. That was a lot of stairs! Way back when....
He has stepped back into his friendships with my grand-nephews (he's between them in age) and is having fun with them. He's decided to be a ball boy with the football team this year. A big surprise to me is how much he's taken to gardening; says he loves seeing the work yield something that tastes great. Next year we're going to plant some watermelons...
Well done!
techie -that's wonderful. He is thriving in all ways. It's great that he loves gardening.
I am making progress with my (and mother's) filed stuff that I have to keep for a while yet. I've decided to toss the old metal filing cabinets that must be 40 years old and will replace them with something better after I have moved. So tax info etc. is going into rubbermaid type tubs for moving.
I know some of you have dealt with similar jobs. Anyone have a suggestion as to how to label the tubs so the labels are clear and secure during moving? Are masking tape and black marker pens good enough?
It's hard seeing her so pale and wan and going through all of this.
In two separate posts.....same caregiver....
Should a caregiver uncomfortable giving a shower and not strong enough to get a client to the doctor's appointment even be a caregiver?
1) Posts two or more questions right away.
2) Usually on a Weds. night.
3) Early on criticizes the caregiver(s) who have answered.
4) Within the hour after posting, "solves" the problem by quitting their job.
TN, I was thinking about your charge and wondering how he is. Thanks for the news! He's on his way. 😊
My earliest memories are of a contraption that gathered the bales together and then with the pull of a rope dumped them in small groups to be stooked by a person walking though the field. Later innovation brought a machine that had a man (usually my father) stacking the bales into triangular stooks as they were spat out of the baler - that had to be backbreaking work! I was sometimes recruited to drive the wagon slowly through the field while the hired men pitched bales of hay and stacked them on a wagon, I got a shout if I didn't stop smoothly! Getting the hay into the mow was another job we kids could help with, off loading the bales from the wagon onto an elevator (I can still hear the screeching sound) and up into the mow where an experienced man stacked them - what fun to try to bury the person working up there!
The most confusing part? A winter storm advisory too! Maybe they will have it straightened out by 5.
Thinking of moving a few things from the living room, which has lots of furniture and creating a couple of areas downstairs. There will be lots of space between them but that's OK. Any ideas?
Maybe an office area/library, desk and book cases, relaxing space, couple chairs and a small table, a game area, card size table and chairs, maybe a bookcase with games. Not much but, shows how large the space is and gives people visionary clues to usage.
Having large spaces between is good, clutter is a bad dog for showing.
Best of luck getting this done and sold.
When we have been house hunting we have noticed that the bedroom with the best view is often staged as a reading room. Big overstuffed chair, ottoman, table and house plant.
Our current house had one of the bedrooms as a TV room, one as a sewing room and the 2 on suites as bedrooms.
