Good morning flowers. It is going to be nice and warm but they are calling for more thunderstorms. We are getting dangerously high for the Mississippi, flood level. Flood stage is 34.2 and we are over 30. They keep extending the warning on the weather channel ap so I think eventually we will be flooding. It is already flooded in low lying areas, one of which is I40 when you cross over the bridge. It usually ends up under water so I sure hope it all settles down before we go to Indiana as it is the only way out of town to the north without doing a lot of reconnaissance.
Going to tackle upstairs bathrooms today. I also need to take my receipts and file them. I had a big ole stack on my printer needing to be filed. Other than that, nothing except fixing dinner tonight. I am making homemade sloppy joes and probably fat free chips.
Maggie: My glasses are doing fine. I may need a bump in my prescription in distance when I go in August, but they are fine. I didn't pay to have bifocals on them since I have a yearly appt in August. It is puzzling why my contacts are no longer working with the same prescription in them, but I am giving up on them and just going to glasses. I like that paper clip idea a lot. What a great way to keep track of loss.
During your prayer time, give a couple minutes for my sister, Alberta if you would. She is 68 and fell the other day because her feet all of a sudden were excruciatingly painful and then she couldn't keep standing on them and fell forward. I am concerned about possible diabetic problems as she is diabetic, but she also has horrible thyroid problems. She went to the dr yesterday but I haven't heard what she found out.
Have a good middle of the week. I am prayer for garbage haulers today and it is pretty bad around here now. Faye

Good morning girls. It is pretty cool this morning and temp dropping all day. It is raining cats and dogs here and we surely don't need it to. We are at nearly 32 ft and flood stage is 34. They have flood warnings in low lying areas out already for the rain today. More than likely Jack is going to be earning that fat overtime whether he wants it or not.
I got my sandals yesterday and my capris. My capris are down a size and they fit, yahoo! My dress is supposed to come today priority mail so I am anxious to see it with me sandals. The sandals are comfo so no worries there either. I need to check one more thing that hasn't been shipped yet.
Jean: I hope no more snow for you. I mean for crying out loud it is May!!! It is going to be a weird summer I am afraid. Yes, my sister lives in the South Bend area, but on the other side of town from my son. Her kids all live there too. My brother and his kids live around Chicago and my other sister lives in Arizona and her kids live in California, Arizona and in Houston. So with that being said, all getting together is not possible, besides my kids and myself won't have anything to do with my brother for a myriad of reasons so I wouldn't show up if he did anyway. My sister retired at Christmas time, but had a sit down job anyway. She is on a walker though and has trouble even when not having these issues she is having right now. She is a stubborn woman who won't listen to people, reminds me of my mother.
Maggie: I am a big oldies fan too. I have a bunch of stuff from Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, my favorite, Rick Nelson, Neil Diamond, variety CD's that have all kinds of artists. I am very fond of "British Invasion" music and Elvis and the Beatles especially. We have Sirrius in our car and on our tv so I can listen to all kinds of stuff all the time if I want to. I will knit to music. Thanks for the recipes. I really like the sound of the lemon bars and banana muffins.
You all take care this weekend. We are doing rugs this weekend, how fun. Faye
Good evening, ladies! Another cool day in the 60s.
I got an email from the farm that my friend and I go to to pick strawberries and they are now ready. Oh I can hardly wait to go pick some.
I went to First Thursday Bee last nigh and had a lot of fun. Nothing happening this weekend but yardwork. My roses have buds!
Faye, I'll put your sister in our prayer book. She better listen if she wants to keep her feet! I'm surprised you bought your cruise clothes now. By the time for the cruise, they'll be too big at the rate you are going. That's always a good feeling anyway.
Jean, now that Sonny is getting to feel good again, he's turning into his true loving self. It seems like you just closed up the lake cabin! Time is sure flying by.
Maggie, the recipes look good but I won't be making them because of the wheat. I'm feeling so much better and have so much more energy on this research diet, I'll never go back. I've lost 6 pounds now without even trying.
I always say hello to strangers. It's just a nice thing to do.
Have a great evening.
Good afternoon, ladies! Sunshine today but only in the 60s. I hope it warms up soon.
I did some housework today and now I'm vegging the rest of the day. I didn't sleep good last night so have been tired all day.
Jean, Soony was probably feeling sick when you got him and now he's back to exact and letting you know he is really a friendly cat and glad to have human companionship.
Maggie, I don't use mixes of any kind. I don't do wheat but there is plenty to replace it. I'm mainly fruits, vegetables, dairy lean protein and a few whole grains like farro, quinoa, and barley. I'm feeling so much better since they told me not to eat wheat. I know you love your coffee. All that caffine would make my GERD so bad. I can only manage 1 cup of regular coffee and 1 cup of decaf. Tea doesn't bother me...go figure.
Have a wonderful evening.
