      It is a hard call. Especially after being here for so many many years-but enthusiasm has waned. So I thought I’d throw the thought out there and see what people think. There’s only four of us now. I wish there was a way to get more posters on here again to liven things up but it seems everyone has moved on and maybe those who might be interested don’t even know that we are here.

      Hi everyone,
      Since no one comes here to chat anymore do you want me to continue starting the monthly chat or shall I just drop it.
      I doubt we will ever get anyone new chatting. I guess those who used to be interested have all gone else where.
      Let me know what I should do.

      Adele,
      I have seen those awnings advertised. We don’t need shade as we have part of the deck covered in the back and the front porch is covered. It’s good to know those awnings work well though.
      I hope your tummy feels better. I actually like to eat those peanut butter crackers as a snack. I always wonder how they get the crackers such a bright orange.
      Or maybe it’s better that I don’t know. lol

      Hi Colleen,
      I’m sorry that you have not been feeling well. I will pray that the stomach will feel better soon. We miss you but are happy that you checked in.
      I wonder if the cost of that composite stuff will ever come down as it becomes more popular.
      I don’t think we would ever screen our deck. Part of it does have a covering on top so that you can sit either in the sun or the shade so that is nice.

      Hi Adele,
      Yes, last night I was looking for AGT and then saw it was on Tuesday. lol
      As my MIL used to say-it’s time for me to go to the dummy house. lol
      I can’t believe you have your heat on!
      It is cooled down today but not that much.
      So now I guess you will have to sow grass seed where the pool was. I wonder how things will grow after the pool was there for so long.
      It will be different for a while looking out and not seeing a pool.
      I know it would be weird looking out our back door and not seeing the pond.
      We have a guy coming in a few weeks to replace wood on our deck and on our upper and lower front porches.
      I would love to get that new decking that never has to be replaced but it is very costly and the deck is pretty big.
      I do want Greg to cost it out both ways though.

      Bowing my head and saying a prayer of thanks to those who have served and died.
      I love our country!

      Hi Adele,
      Oh gosh-I use my tablet every day to play games. I have some word games-some board/card games. I have one that you decorate rooms in houses in different styles and I just discovered one where you can do landscaping. You should look into stuff like that. It would really help you pass the time if you want to do something else besides watch TV. it mixes it up a bit. I love my tablet. It’s a Samsung and google play has tons of games to choose from.
      Well now I am pissed. My Dish receiver gave out and we have to get a new one which means that I have lost all my recordings. The thing was 70% full and there was some TV series that I didn’t watch during the regular year that I was going to watch and catch up with during the summer. I may be able to get them on demand with the new receiver but then I have to watch commercials. Plus I had some concerts and musicals that I hadn’t watched yet that were sort of one and done events so I doubt that I will be able to find them. I know in the big scheme of things it’s not much but I still felt sad about losing all the recordings. I didn’t realize how dependent we were on recording things and watching them commercial free later and being able to record things when there were two programs on at the same time that we wanted to watch. Even Greg is bothered by watching the commercials and is asking me when the new receiver will come.
      I don’t remember Greg having to do anything after he had his stent-maybe some physical therapy but neither us remember. Although i do remember him going for therapy but not why.
      I’m glad they got rid of the bunnies. I know it’s hard but sometimes it’s best to let them be and let nature take it’s course as sad as it seems. Bunnies still seem to thrive even without our interference. I’m sorry Aizen got bit. Yes feeding them all the time is a pain. it sounds like Steph needs a hobby. lol

      Hi Everyone,
      Colleen, your Mother’s Day sounded good. It’s nice to get flowers. Greg got me some from WalMart.
      I did know the guy that came in second on the masked Singer. David Archuletta. I knew him from American Idol and always thought he had a good voice. In fact about three weeks ago I said I thought that was him and I was actually right for a change. lol I also guessed Michael Bolton but not Dick Van Dyke-that was a surprise.
      Adele, What is the heart attack school that Nancy is going to?
      I have not seen A man called Otto but I read the book that the movie was based on called a Man called Ove by Fredrick Bachman. It was a great book. I think they moved the movie to take place in the US.
      No one will have to make Maya’s dress for Milk Days as she is the Queen and just wears a regular gown-it’s the princess contestants who have to have dresses made from crepe paper.
      I don’t blame you fpr breaking down Mother’s Day is another mile stone in a very very tough couple of years for you. But you are right-you have no choice but to keep moving forward and pray for better days. Sending big hugs!
      Tell Steph to be wary of fleas from bringing those bunnies in-most of them have some. Greg’s company used to pack those little bottles for baby animals for a company called Pet-Ag. So is she eventually planning on releasing them when they are bigger? They are cute but they are also wild animals.
      The guy behind us had his bull loose a few weeks ago. Thank goodness he didn’t come here and mess up Greg’s putting green again. There might have been war! But it’s scary to know a bull is loose. I grew up across the street from a huge bull barn where they were used for artificial insemination and a bull is not something you want to meet up with just walking around your yard.
      Adele, you could probably play tri-ominos on your tablet or phone. I have a few card and domino games that I play on my tablet. Did you ever play Mexican train dominos. I started playing on my tablet and ended up buying the game for the family. I like playing games with the family.
