Hello Cheryl we had lots of excitement here Friday and Saturday on Friday there was a fire uptown at a business that has been closed for awhile then on Saturday night there was a fire on our street a block away from our house and because the houses are close together 3 houses were gutted so we were without a landline phone and internet all weekend and yesterday at 5:00 we had phone and internet back and today we're getting caught up with our comments here Hugs Ceil
How was your weekend Cheryl? Did you do anything special? Anything going on with you today? I went out Friday to the VFW to have fresh burgers and fries, the girls from the auxillary made them. They were so good. Then went to the Moose with our friends. Saturday we were at a 70 and 80's disco held in the hall of the VFW . I couldn't dance due to my hip and the music as soooo loud but the food was good - all sould food and homemade. We woudn't do it again though - my hip hurts now from sitting in the chair for so long and it was doing so good for the pat several weeks. Doing nothing today - just the way I like it - quiet. Did some things that needed to be done around the house and took out ground beef to make shepard's pie for dinner tonite. Had sloppy joes last nite - they were good. Hope you are enjoying this beautiful day. Hugs, Wendy
Most of you know I love to take pictures. But to capture the moon like that, you need the right camera.
Even with a phone camera, it takes the right "eye" to "see" the right angle to capture the right picture.
I also just like looking at pictures. I came across this one that had a caption of the name of a plant. This is a Double Angel Trumpet.
A lot of you might not know that plant or remember the name Cricket. She was the first person that asked to be my friend when I joined Not Over The Hill in 2008. The above picture is her Angel Trumpet plant in her front yard.
While Cricket is no longer with us on earth, her Angel Trumpet plant lives on at my home just as she lives on in my heart. She would take cuttings in the fall and root them over the winter. She sent me a couple of cuttings and I still have one growing in a tub. It is inside our garage today because it is cold. It has been pulled in and out (in warmer weather) of our garage so many times over the years (hundreds) and will soon be at home in our backyard in another month when the weather stays warmer.
Every time I spoke to Cricket with all her health trials, she would say she couldn't wait to get to Heaven and have a "Woo Hoo Party" with Jesus. I was blessed by her friendship and I am also blessed by your friendship.
Hi Cheryl - going to a 70 and 80's disco at the VFW - all you can eat and drink for the price of the tickets - $20/ea. Our friends are gong too so it should be fun. Did a little weeding out front but there is so much more that needs to be done so it'll have to wait for another day. Hope you are having great weather as we are. Probably won't be able to send comments tomorrow as I have to cook and then go to dominoes but will be able to read any incoming mail. Have a good rest of the afternoon and evening. Hugs, Wendy
It was another 80 + day here - we are expecting rain tomorrow and a temp of 74. It was an absolutely beautiful day here. I went with the seniors to a trip to Williamsburg, Va. to an antique mall. The place was huge , but I only got to see 2 isles - it really was a huge consignment place but full of antiques and a few other things. Went to chick filet for lunch then home. But it was nice to get out of the house and go to a place that I knew nothing about. 3 of us took the car with a driver and the 4 of us had so much fun going up and back and it was a 2 hour drive one way. Have a good nite Cheryl. Hugs, Wendy
