Hi Adele,
This is a very sad time but at least everyone has a chance to say their goodbyes.
Those nurses and hospice people know what they are talking about when it comes to end of life situations.
I know it’s hard to think about now but just be glad for all the years that you did have with your mother.
Nothing makes this goodbye easy but it…[Read more]

Hi Colleen,
That was nice that you went to Danyielle’s. it seems like a while since you were there.
Is Owen still racing?
We went to brunch with Jenny and the kids.
Our weather here went from chilly to down right hot.
We are supposed to have storms tonight.
I hope they are not bad ones.
Greg was going to till and plant today but he has a…[Read more]

Adele,
I am sorry to hear things are not going well for Tillie.
I know it just gets to a point where you are waiting for the call.
I know you must be emotionally exhausted.
All I can do is send hugs and prayers.
Gail

Hi Everyone,
I hope Mother’s Day went well. We went out for a nice brunch and that was about it.
Brent did call to wish me happy Mother’s Day and Greg happy birthday for today.
Colleen, happy belated anniversary. I hope you get in a nice trip to Branson. I like going there. There is lots to do and see.
Plus it’s pretty there even though I don’t…[Read more]

Ooops. Couldn’t get Greg’s picture to fit.

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers whether they be people mothers or pet mothers. All women have mothered or mentored someone in some way. Women are the world’s backbone.
Photos of my Mom and Greg’s Mom-me with my siblings-Greg with his sister.

Hi Adele,
Well we have rain again too. It will be cold and rainy again most of this week.
I think we are going out to brunch on Mother’s Day. That will cover Mother’s Day and Greg’s birthday since his birthday will be Monday and that is golf league for him. He was finally able to get golf league in yesterday but said he didn’t play very well as he…[Read more]

Hi Adele,
The show is called I Love That For You. The first episode was last night but I’ll bet they’ll repeat it. Or you can get it ON Demand.
I copied it but haven’t watched yet.
So what is a Billie roll anyway? lol
I hope that you can figure a way to get to the nursing home. I hope you can find a motorized wheel chair that is light enough. I…[Read more]

Starting a new discussion for May. See you all there.

Hi Adele,
Tell Bobby Happy Belated Birthday.
So what did you get from carry out with the gift certificate.
Greg picked up from the taco food truck yesterday.
It’s odd how Tillie’s health changes from day to day.
I’m glad that she enjoyed the soup.
That must have made you feel good.
I keep praying for her health and safety. And for you and Gary…[Read more]

Hi Colleen,
It sounds like you had a good Easter too.
We had a day in the 80’s on Saturday but I didn’t turn on the AC either because I know it is going to be cold again. Frost warnings tonight and tomorrow.
I had one of those rainbow cakes one time and the kids said it was too sweet. Go figure. I liked it.
I’m glad I don’t have to raise a…[Read more]

Hi DD,
We didn’t used to get snow in April but it seems like we are getting it more and more recently.
In fact I was just remarking to Greg it seems like since we were kids that the springs are colder and the falls are hotter. But maybe it’s just me.
Love the butterfly pictures and the dog with the chicks. So cute.
I thought in the last pictures…[Read more]

That’s a picture of what we woke up to the day after Easter. The poor flowers don’t know what to do.

Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone had a good Easter.
Adele, as usual all your goodies look delicious.
We had a nice brunch. We went to a different place this year as the place we used to go wasn’t offering brunch this year.
I’m glad that we went early as the guy who owns the place told me he was expecting 500 hundred people between 10 and 2. Yikes.…[Read more]

Happy Easter to all My Quacker friends.
Love you!

Adele,
Italian beef sandwiches-not Italian meat. It may be a Chicago thing. It’s very thinly sliced beef served and cooked in an au jus with Italian seasonings. I grew up on it. We had a place in our little town where I grew up that served the best that there was. It’s served on a crusty bun or bread about six inches long with a topping of sweet…[Read more]

Hi Adele,
I didn’t really hear about NY until this morning. All I can say is that I am very glad that I don’t live in a big city.
When I think of when I lived in Chicago all the times I took the Ltrain or the bus without even thinking about it. Of course even back then some weird things happened on public transportation but at least they weren’t…[Read more]

Hi Adele,
Well that’s good that Tillie knows why you can’t come in person.
Yes, Facetime is hard for someone who doesn’t hear well.
I have started putting the closed captions on the TV for Greg as he was missing probably 50% of the dialogue in most programs.
I know I have to repeat what I say too most of the time. I know it’s bad for him…[Read more]

I read on the Q boards that some people read on Facebook that DWTS is going over to Disney plus. Oh well-it was fun while it lasted. I’m not paying for any more services as DISH has already gotten way too expensive. Plus any streaming services aren’t that great for us as our internet service is not that great and there is a lot of buffering when…[Read more]
