:-) It’s like summer in Williamsburg. 91 forecast for today.
😦 I didn’t bring summer clothes, except for one Carolina tee shirt.
-) A safe and uneventful trip from Hendersonville.
It surely is weird hearing Chas carry on about a stupid restaurant being closed. Not a fancy type, just an ordinary restaurant on the order of Denny’s, somewhat larger and nicer.
On driving from N. Virginia in 1963, I-85 wasn’t open and we had to travel down from Petersburg on US-1. Honey’s was the first sign of civilization.
I recall one December we drove down in a snowstorm. It was in my ’66 Plymouth. As we went to our table in Honey’s, I noticed a couple of guys giving Elvera the eye. She was pretty in 1966.
Becky was born in 1982. Chuck was a student at Carolina in Columbia. He and Linda brought her up for the grandparents to see. Chuck had to go back but Linda and Becky stayed on a couple of weeks.
We arranged for Chuck to meet us at Honey’s (half way) to take them home.
We first started going there because we needed it at the time. Then it became a tradition. That’s all.
You can tell I’m just killing time at your expense.
I finally got around to reading Peter’s cartoons while waiting for The Slowest Woman In The World to get ready. When she’s ready, she’ll complain to me because I have to put my shoes on. 😆
SHE’S REDY! I need to get to it.
😦 I cannot keep track of any passwords present, past, future, saved, written down, hidden away, posted on a post-it note on the computer or in any other way.
😦 My computers, including this website, don’t want to remember my password and insist on my repeating it to them–which they seem to remember better than I do and often refuse to recognize even when I paste from a document in which I have hidden them.
😦 Despite successfully managing our finances for 35 years, since I handed them over to my husband six months, I now am not able to even access basic information. I am worthless in this regard, now.
😦 In addition to this nightmare at home–which I regularly compound with weeping and gnashing of teeth to the dismay, if not disgust, of my husband–I’m also subjected to repeated demands for passwords at work. These passwords, which have to be shared among several of us, also do not want to play ball with me. I manage not to sob at work, but somedays it’s a stretch.
😦 Why do some websites require me to change my password every six months?
🙂 I have lots of IQ points.
😦 They do me no good.
🙂 I’m so thankful God requires only one password to get into heaven: Jesus.
🙂 That one I can remember.
Pity my husband who has to live with me . . . though I do seem to have some redeemable characteristics he apparently likes.
I have to be annonymous. So sorry. But you can probably guess who I am. IF the website takes my contribution this time. 😦
I never have understood why I have to wait for my husband to get his shoes on, when he could have done it earlier. He sounds much like Chas. You just have no idea how much time it takes to look decent. 😉
🙂 Much needed rain.
😦 Cold–brrr
🙂 Brought some homemade cookies to the family that moved next door (hidden by our trees and across a field) in August. They are a homeschooling family with several children and one only a month old. It is the perfect family for that large old farm home.
🙂 Good opportunity possible for one of daughters. We have been praying for God’s wisdom about taking it.
🙂 😦 Computers. When they work well, they are really, really good. When they don’t, they are so frustrating. They also take up tons of time, to the point that I wonder how much we really save. So it seems to go with each new technological breakthrough. Cars, for example. They are so needed and so appreciated until something goes wrong. Something will always go wrong. Grateful to those who can help us during those times.
You need to get it all straight, anon. It would be a disaster should one partner die and the other have no access to some of those sites.
🙂 Got to sleep in today. But I’ve got to hit the road for some errands.
😦 Hot and windy. And I’m “on call” to work today in case big fires break out that we need to try to cover.
Chas, I looked up Honeys and we have a few of them here, too (I’ve never been to one), but looks like several here also have closed down, including one in Hollywood. Maybe the chain is having to scale back their properties.
Not sure how I feel about the job of actually making cider. (The next-door neighbors have an orchard. I’m on “sorting”–which means throwing out rotten ones and cutting out bad spots–and we’re caught up to the teams that are washing and everything else.)
😦 These stupid books I’m making for my husband are still giving me headaches. Last night it took me several hours to progress two pages, that’s how bad it was at crashing and redoing my work. (I’ve moved about 40 pages so far today, on breaks from cider. But I have another 100 to go on this book, and then I have to finalize one more book, too. All by Monday or Tuesday, when the 20% off coupon expires.)
Chas, maybe the restaurants are unrelated but they had that same name. I’ve never actually seen one but several were listed in the general LA region when I googled it.
🙂 Oh, I’ve shocked mumsee again with my supermarket talk. 🙂
🙂 Finally got heart worm/flea meds picked up for my dogs, they’ve been holding them for a week and I just couldn’t get up there before now. Then I dropped off a Bible to my disabled friend, I ordered copies of the new Gospel Transformation Study Bible for each of us and it just became available and finally shipped this past week. Looks like it’ll be a good resource.
😦 It was 99 degrees where she was. We stopped in at the mall and ordered ice cream at the food court.
😦 Not quite as hot where I live, but it’s still 92 which is hot enough. Thankfully my house has stayed cool as last night was (marginally) chilly. It’s supposed to be back down in the 60s for highs (with possible rain) by the middle of next week. 🙂 Yay.
😦 Feels like I’ve been on the road all day, back and forth — saw a few bumper-to-bumper traffic jams on stretches of different freeways above me here and there, but traffic wasn’t too bad where I was going. And I’m so grateful to have a/c in my Jeep. 🙂 Spoiled.
😦 My friend Jenn, the one with the severe health issues & chronic pain, had to have her beloved companion, her dog Jack, put down this evening. She is devastated. (Please pray God’s comfort for her.)
😦 The growth on Peanut’s (our oldest cat, Chrissy’s “baby”) hip has gotten quite large, & is no longer fully covered with fur. We just cannot afford the surgery & biopsy, but it has bothered me to see it progress so far, & I’ve wondered what the outcome of this will be. And yet, Peanut has still been eating well, & gets around well, too. But then yesterday, it started to bleed.
🙂 Chrissy recently got a sizable portion of money from an investment my mom had made in her name, to be payable when she’s 21 (which she now is). She wants to pay for Peanut’s surgery & care. Peanut has been primarily Chrissy’s kitty since Chrissy was 9. That’s a huge chunk of her life.
Peanut is due back at the vet’s office Monday morning at 8 a.m. Before doing any surgery, they will do a chest x-ray, to help determine if this is cancer. If it is…well, we wouldn’t put her through surgery if it wouldn’t ultimately save her life. For Chrissy’s sake, I’m hoping against hope (& praying) that it isn’t cancer.
Donna, we have nine gallons of cider in our freezer, and we helped make it!
🙂 Two out of three of my gift books are complete. This one had about 50 pages that were a nightmare, but otherwise it was fairly smooth. I need to finish the final one in the next couple of days, so it sure had better go quicker than this one! (This pass is supposed to just be looking for no final errors, and it worked that way with the first book, but with the one I finished today some errors crept in, and correcting them made more, and so forth–the software this company uses can really be a hassle, but it’s finished!)
Wow, Cheryl, that is a big freezer! I buy the cider, but at farmer’s markets where it is homemade.
So glad that your books are coming together. They will be treasures for generations.
We are under the weather here as well. Several of us will be staying home with the icky cold. Some will get to go to church as they are already done with it or are showing no signs of it. I am already tired of being sick.
Mumsee, did you get the letter and tri-fold World sent out recently? Yesterday, I decided to go to member.wng.org and check it out. I got signed in and got access, and can still get access today using my email and same password. Right under the comment box on each article it says “Posting as: 6 arrows”. So I assume I can post and read all the pages.
There was something funny with my account page, though. It says my membership is good through May 1, 2014, but on my mailing label, the last issue I got that had a subscription end date said my sub runs through 31May14. I see they don’t have any date listed now on the label of the most recent magazine I got (October 5), so I emailed them asking about the discrepancy in dates, but haven’t heard back (probably because I emailed yesterday rather than during business hours). So we’ll see what comes of it.
Seems NY has always been trying to control people’s lives. I saw where New Amsterdam, in 1645, made it unlawful to have wooden chimneys.
😆
????????????????
Jo, we have a second freezer that is just a freezer (no fridge). We get the cider in half-gallon jugs and freeze it; we’d cleared a full shelf for it, and there is still room if we get a few more jugs.
🙂 Book #2 has been uploaded to the site. Now to finish the third and final volume.
Chas, when you make it illegal to make a man’s shirts without pockets, could you add in a woman’s skirt or especially a woman’s pants? I’ve turned down the chance to buy pants for the simple reason of “no pockets,” but I accidentally bought such a pair a few years ago. They assume a woman is carrying a purse, but I wore them the night I met my husband in person, and we took a walk around the block from the house where he was staying with my elder and his wife; I stopped by my car to get my sunglasses, but then I had no place to put my car keys and had to give them to my man to put in his pockets. Even when women’s pants have pockets, they often aren’t deep enough, and our winter coats and jackets tend not to have nearly the number or variety of pockets. When my husband and I go on a walk, I often end up handing him my glasses /sunglasses, since he has a deep enough pocket and I don’t. . . .
When you don’t have a pocket on your shirt, you have to put both your glass case and cell phone on your belt.
Cheryl, when Mary was young, she had to have pockets even in the skirts she wore. I don’t know how it is now.
The distance from the Wren Bldg. at Wm. & Mary to the Palace is almost exactly a mile. The boys & girls use Duke of Glouchester St. as their jogging track.
Another bit of trivia Jo.
No matter how wealthy a person was in 1776, he didn’t have a comfortable chair to sit in.
Has anyone else noticed that?
I wonder when the rocking chair was invented?
Hey,, I like to be first and last.
A freezer full of cider sounds wonderful.
I agree about the pockets. I always need a tissue for my allergies and at least one key. One time I had someone add pocket to my skirts.
A law against wooden chimneys sounds reasonable, rather than controlling. I would think brick might be a better choice around fire and sparks? Merely codifying common sense!! 🙂
