daily check in thread for all. #140

I know she had to work yesterday. When I talked to her, she was getting ready. She is often busy with the grand kids. But I know she will get back to you.

We are expecting rain too. Having trouble posting. Again..

Hugs, Karen....

Hi UA. I hope all is well.

Hugs to all...

Karen

Good morning this Tuesday

Checking in....as i hope others will as well.

The new light bulb on the deck that I put in yesterday was VERY (unexpectedly) successful. The only one I had of the correct height was a yellow 'bug' light. I LIKE it, very cozy feeling in the dark.

Cool rainy day (again). Nothing important on my schedule today, thank goodness. Maybe I'll bake some cookies before the weather gets warmer.

Hugs to you Jamie and Karen

Making Toll House cookies, Karen. You know they were 'invented' by Ruth Wakefield, I assume. I've had meals at the Toll House restaurant.... have often wondered how the place got it's name...so just searched and got this answer

*************

Back in 1930, Kenneth and Ruth Wakefield purchased a Cape Cod-style TOLL HOUSE located halfway between Boston and New Bedford, on the outskirts of Whitman, Massachusetts. Originally constructed in 1709, the house served as a haven for road-weary travelers. Here, passengers paid toll, changed horses and ate much-welcomed home-cooked meals. It was also here, over 200 years later, that the Wakefields decided to open a lodge, calling it the TOLL HOUSE Inn.

Just sharing a little 'concern'.

John hasn't gotten up this morning. I went to his room to check a few hours ago and he seemed alert and responded...but hasn't left his bed. It's now been at least 15 hours. No nourishment, and has he relieved himself.?

Should I 'insist'...or leave him alone?
I'm not experienced in caring for anyone.

Did get him up...and some food and liquids. Nurse at doctor's office did suggest the ER. Will do so if he doesn't improve.

Thanks, Karen

that's it. 1 day at a time. I send many healing thoughts to everyone. sleep not the best.

I always look at rain with different degrees of value, 1 we need it, 2 the dams and farmers can sure use it and our parched lands around the earth get a drink. it's a bugger when it is smashing it down, I mean, here in Australia, it can actually sting. I get peeved when the places that do get it don't actually need it.

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope John will continue to improve Joyce. Thinking of you... Hope you're eating and you're okay...

Nothing new in my side of the world.

Hi Karen, Jamie, Andy, everyone. Have a great day!
