Hi Ladies,
I’m back. I went back & read some of the posts I overlooked. Adele, doesn’t your husband realize that cutting on the Wisteria, that it makes it GROW??!! Whenever you cut something back, it promotes growth. Stimulates, I should say. Besides, Wisteria is hard to kill from what I’ve heard. I’ve never had it but I knew people who did. It’s…[Read more]

Hello friends. Hot and very muggy here. Adele, please don’t do the “I know I can do this and I will do this” thing again. We all must be really careful in the heat. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke come on quickly and keeping cool and hydrated with water is so important in the hot weather; even when you are not doing anything physical. Sometimes,…[Read more]

Dearest DD
You go get that cat, if that is what is in your heart. You do what is right for you, no matter what. Nobody else has to go home,shut the door, and see memories of Jewell all over the place. Go for it.
Love ya!
Adele

Gailster
That is another funny bat story. I guess we have all seen bats! Are we……wait for it…..going batty????
LOL LOL
I sincerely hope nobody has any weather of concern this weekend.
Adele

OMG, Sue!
We get the same weather you get, and we did not get the hail.
We had a bat in the house once too- Ill tell the story later, when I have more time. It is a funny one, for sure.
Adele

Hi Ladies,
I’ve been trying to send you guys a pic of a kitty that came up on Instagram this morning. She’s a calico, 7 yrs old & is looking for a home without other cats, & is an indoor only cat. She looks nothing like Jewell but her bio resembles J. Maybe it’s too soon for me to think about getting another kitty, but I can’t stand the emptiness…[Read more]

OMG, Gailster!!

That story is hysterical. You gave me a good laugh ! I hope you made DD laugh too.
Adele

Hey Colleen
So glad you have made so much progress on your Mom’s house. It will be good when this is all behind you, and you do not have to go there anymore. It is so hard to get rid of all our loved one’s things. You will feel better when it is all done, I know it.
You are also in my prayers every night.
Love you!
Adele

Ladies…..I missed something about a frog???? At Gail’s house?
LOL
Adele

Hey Gailster
That is really nice that you have those mementos from your pets. they did not have those things when my cats died- it was over 20 years ago they have been gone.
I feel so awful our DD is in so much pain.
Adele

Hey DD!
I am so sorry for what happened at the crematory. That is just not acceptable. I wish I could give you a hug. You need a hug. I wish I had something to say, to make you smile. Unfortunately, everything in your home will remind you of your pretty kitty.
I think it is a good idea to talk to someone about your grief. Grief can do a…[Read more]

Hey Colleen
I am attaching a pic of the left over chicken soup….LOL
Heather had some more last night too. read my post to Gail for all the info of the day.
I am trying to catch up on posts. i got behind while Heather was here.
I am so glad you did not get any tornadoes.
Did you see Mario Batalli was in Boston being charged with sexually…[Read more]

OMG, Sue!
that is funny. Maybe it was Gail’s cardinal….LOL
Adele

hey Gailster
Heather was here the past few days and went home today. She always sleeps better here, so she got a lot of rest,and that is good. I will miss her….LOL
She goes back to the doctor Friday of next week, to see if he o got all the cells,and get the results of the pathology testing.
I hope you can get Greg inside for some holiday fun…[Read more]

Ah yes-I forgot about the bats. I remember my Dad chasing a bat with a tennis racket up in northern Minnesota.
I also remember when Greg used to go to summer camp for the army reserves up by LaCrosse Wisconsin. I would drive up if he had a weekend off and we would stay down town. Well at that time there was a mayfly hatch and they are all over…[Read more]

I would much rather have a bird in the house than a bat. We had both when I was growing up. The bat freaked me out. I remember Mom & Grandma saying to cover your head & she was trying to use a broom to guide it back outside. That would have been funny looking back but not at the time.
I think I would have liked your frog better than the hail we…[Read more]

Hi Colleen,
I hope the frog hasn’t replaced the cardinal. lol We have lots of frogs and toads around the pond. They do get pretty noisy at night but it normally doesn’t bother me but this one must have been right up against the house.
I remember when my Mom lived in Florida and there were those little chameleons all over the place. Sometimes one…[Read more]
