$50 Your Way Giveaway! May 2023

Hello, Little Peanuts! I can say that up here in Idaho it’s FINALLY Spring. GESH! Winter was rough this year. I felt like I was going a little bit stir-crazy here at the end. The Husband is seriously LUCKY that he survived. Towards the end here I started to feel a little bit………………….Here's Johnny

The Husband is safe now because I can open the doors, I can open the windows. I can work in the yard. Ahhhhhhhhh SPRING!!
If you follow me on Instagram you know that I spread 80 (yes, EIGHTY) bags of mulch in the front of the house. HOLY MOLY People…… my body is 100000% saying YOU ARE NOT 20 anymore. But, it was worth all the Tylenol because the front of the house looks amazing. The deer as they wander through the yard leave me flowers that have bloomed (ya know….by poopin’) So, NEW flowers have been popping up!! So pretty!

Even sweet Bear is smiling.  However, spring has brought my ENEMY! The CHIPMUNK! This little guy eats all the bird seed I put out. They try to get in the house. BAD Chip and Dale. BAD!!

    To be blunt, after having that breast biopsy yesterday, my boob is sore and bruised. So many medical tests are just plain brutal.

  • Anonymous

    Just finishing out paperwork etc for the month. Made some baked chicken for dinner later. I usually try to fix food early in the morning and then when I get hungry around 3 or 4 I can just eat something healthy instead of junk food.

    Hard to believe May is over and June is ready to start.

  • heather

    I am having a nice day so far just enjoying the last day of May boy that was a fast month. I am have salmon for dinner should be yummy.

  • Polly Hall

    Today my project is to figure out the paper products I have and need for our 3 day family reunion coming up in a few weeks.

  • klp

    It has been an on again, off again day. Right now there’s a huge thunderstorm overhead. We need the rain so it’s welcome. Hopefully it won’t spark any wild fires.

  • Tamra Phelps

    It was along day at the doctor’s appointment that ended with a biopsy. That meant a pencil sized needle in the boob. Yikes. Three to five days for results.

  • Polly Hall

    We had a bat in the house this evening, I’m the one that has to catch it with a butterfly net while my husband hits the floor. He is so funny.

  • gloria patterson

    Shopping at a discount store here called GABES they have 130+ stores over the US. If you have one and have never gone you are missing out. I had $10 off $50. coupon so I only spend $52.00 dollars today. I was in there over a hour for me that is a long time my mother can be in there for HOURS. I got a lot of different craft things always somethng new for great niece. Got a real cute top original tag on it said $48. I paid $5.99.

    Stopped at Arbys and picked up a sandwich and ate it on the way home. Now I am just being lazy. Hard to believe that the month is almost over.

    When I left home this morning I was going to the bank and that was it. BUT when my car pulled out of the parking lot it turned left instead of right! It just kept doing it right accross the bridge and up the hill and in to the parking lot of Gabes at discount store. A little over a hr later I spend $95. and saved almost $10. for Senior Monday and got 2 coupons for later use.

    While there I saw a wall clock with Minnie Mouse on it…………. and recalled a video on facebook. They asked all these high scool students what time it was on the wall clock. Most of them had no ideal what the time was. Decided great niece (6) needs to learn how to tell time on this clock so I bought it. She is finishing kindergarten this week. And she love school!

  • Michele Soyer

  • gloria patterson

    Got a text last night from niece ………… great niece (6) wanted ot spend the day with me. So they got her about 9:30. We drew, finger painted, played dolls etc etc. She loves to look around and find different stuff and things then give me the look.

    She helped me putting up her mommy’s signs for hair cuts. Brit is a beautian and her grandmother talked her in to coming in the building once a month. Hair cuts $20 Hair cut & style $25. She is here for about 3 hrs and does 4 to 6 people each time.

    When we got back she got her makeup out (she has a lot here) then I mentioned I had bought one of those little fridge. OMG she was jumping up and down telling she wanted one of them so bad but mommy would not buy it for here. I found it at a discount place for $19.99 always wanted but once I got it never pluged it in. So I told if mommy said yes she could have it. Mommy said she to clean her room before she could have.

    Mommy picked up her at 5……………. she has been coming here several times a month since she was a baby. She knows where ever thing is here

    My day is off to a pretty good start so far. I was up early and enjoyed the sunrise and then had to run to town and just got home.

  • Michele Soyer

    Way back on this day in 1970 my husband took me to Central Park all the way uptown after classes to tell me that he loved me and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me…5 months later we were married and juggled university classes with working to pay the rent .. we were together until he passed 6 years ago – when I think back on this day and the happiness it brought me…..

  • Tamra Phelps

    I’m trying my luck planting tomatoes in containers this year, so we’ll see how that goes. Can’t set them outside until the night temp is always above 55, though. Fingers crossed.

  • heather

    Just got home from running some errands and saw a horrific car accident on the way home I am still shook up over it. Idiots drive way way way way too fast on the rural roads that I have to travel on and it is so scary to drive anywhere anymore.

  • gloria patterson

    Some how, someway in the last month I hurt my knee. I didnot fall, or twist it, BUT it has me in pain. It was bad knee anyway and I think I just stood on it to long. Once I get walking on it the pain is not bad. But if I have been sitting/sleeping and stand up I feel like I am going to fall. So I finally got smart this week. Sitting or sleeping I have a desk chair near me. When I get up I move to the chair. That way I can roll to the door way and hold on the door frames till I get moving. Called and have apointment Friday cannot stand it any longer!

  • Tamra Phelps

    Started a new diet today, trying to cut sugar intake. See if that might help with inflammation. We’ll see how long this lasts, lol. I definitely have a sweet tooth.

  • gloria patterson

  • Kate Sarsfield

    What a bloomin’ day! Up at 05.30, left 06.30, back at 20.00. The van driver was lovely. Michele, he’s Hungarian & lives in Co. Cork! Anyway, we cleared the big storage unit but had to leave some things that will fit in the car for another day in the smaller & cheaper unit. The 2 finished rooms are full of stuff, not even room to assemble one of the beds so I’ll be on the couch till I get more rooms finished. Back in the B&B now, had a lovely shower, a glass of Irish whiskey, now bed. Ciao for now till sometime during the week.

    • Michele Soyer

      I am so happy for you! You are almost at the finish line and that is fantastic….LOL we Hungarians are lovely polite people..well a good many of us – you would not want to meet my great uncle Sandor…

    • gloria patterson

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Going for a nap! Back from a couple hours of painting & tidying my new house. Leaving at 06.30 for the storage units. No idea what time we’ll get finished but decided not to stay in the house but to head back to the B&B for one last night. I’ll need a long shower & I’ve no running water till I can afford a plumber to source this new leak.

  • Michele Soyer

    Looking around for more small appliances to give away – brand new back-up coffeemaker is the next to go…hate to give up my professional kitchen aid stand up mixer but no sense in taking it – would need an electricity converter and I am not bothering with that – and I have no plans of doing the amount and quantity of baking I used to do….then the rest of the day is watching some art theft/forger movies – love them….

  • l p

    a good day here. nice weather, visits with friends, and got a bunch of chores avoided for months, taken care of. looking forward to a good week-end. thanks

  • gloria patterson

Thur after they left I had a nap got up ate did this and that and then I was down for another nap. Slept almot 7 hrs last night got up a 6 dressed etc, by 9 am I was in recliner and out slept for almost 5 hrs. A now at almost 4 pm I keep looking at the recliner and thinking about another nap.

  • heather

    I am having a nice day so far. Boy it sure is warming up here a little too warm for me. We will be in the high 90’s here over the weekend not good!

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Viktor & I did another coat on the other front room, I spent an hour pulling up nettles & took most of my stuff to my house. Relaxing now before a shower & nap.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Lately I’ve been so restless. This is made worse by being in a wheelchair, lol. I mean, I want to just take a walk…and not a roll.

  • Piroska

    It was a glorious day. Sun shining, warm temps, and I got to begin winter clean-up (take away leaves from perennials, find “lost” items that the snow had covered (hey, I even found a rake).

  • gloria patterson

    I spend almost 2 hrs yesterday going through ALL the clothes my mother had throw into her suitcase. She left this morning for a 9 day cruise. She had enough clothes to last her a month or more. Just to list a few things She had 10 swimsuits, 7 pair of white jean shorts all the same. There had to be at least 30 tops………….. and so so much more. I got as much as i could in the big suitcase I didn’t think I would get it zipped. I slid it off the bed no way I could lift. It took both of my brothers this morning to load it in the trunk. And then I also find out one brother had some room in his suitcase and she added more clothes.

    They asked me to go with them………………….. NO NO NO

    I am on vacation now NO body needs or wants anything from me for at least 10+ days!!!

  • heather

    Just got in the door, I started shopping for Mother’s Day today but still have to do some more trips to town before Sunday.

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Driving for 8 hours in torrential rain is no bloody fun! Tomorrow, I’ll take my plants & most of the stuff from here to the house. Just ate a whole bag of marshmallows!

  • Michele Soyer

    Time to give some stuff away – a smoker to my neighbour next door and a commerical juicer to another neighbor who has a juice stand in town….love doing this – I have no need for these small appliances and they are in great condition the smoker was never used and the juicer maybe 2-3 times in all these years….why throw things out if someone can use them….

  • Elizabeth

    One of those days where everything felt really hard even though it would all sound trivial and silly if I went through each point specifically…sigh.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Honestly, I feel so scatter-brained today. I am getting too easily distracted, lol. Anything can make me lose focus these days.

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Eight hours driving today but it’s been worth it. I can’t afford a truck to move my stuff so have to make sure it will fit in the big van. I can really see the difference in the storage unit now. One more trip tomorrow and most of the small boxes etc. will have been shifted! I’ll have no internet for about a week but I’ll be asleep for some of that & there’s free WiFi at the local library if I’m feeling isolated.

  • gloria patterson

    My mother 93 is getting ready to go on a cruise she is excited but tired already from getting stuff ready to go. I have done some stuff BUT. MY mother is a ironer and ever thing in that suitcase has been iron and spray starched till it could stand alone.. Heck I don’t even own a iron!!

    So getting ready to head to her place now to make sure she has ever thing ready. They are leaving a 7am on thursday

  • heather

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Emptied my carload yesterday & headed back to Wexford this morning to load up again. Left at 9.30 & back by 3.30 so not too bad. I missed the morning rush hour & the childrens’ school pick-up times which would have meant bumper-to-bumper traffic. Heading to the house tomorrow to paint & unpack car then I’ll go back to Wexford again on Wed.

    Gloria, I’m planning to move on Sunday 14th. I’ll have to rough it for a while but what the heck! If my Mum & Dad can honeymoon in a van with a mattress in the back & 2 buckets (one for washing, the other for a toilet) then I’m pretty sure I’ll cope!!!

    • gloria patterson

      I am so glad you had a date!! You have worked hard and it will be good to be in your home. It make take a while to get it the way you want but it sounds like it will be worth it!!

  • Polly Hall

    Very warm and sunny here and I was able to get some things planted in the gardens. Got my first blister of the season.

  • heather

    My day is going pretty good now that I am home safely. I had to go to the store and one the way home six motocycles passed a bunch of cars on a corner with cars coming in the other lane it was so scary I am still shook up over it.

  • gloria patterson

    WAs up early and decided to go to laundry. There was no one there got the BIG washer & dryer there are faster. So I was back with everthing hung up/put away in a little less than 40 minutes.

    Cut up chicken breast and into the oven. Never know what I am going to do with it, but its cooked and ready. Niece called she was coming over to cut grandma’s hair (she is beautian) so she and great niece stopped by for a little while. After she cut grandma’s hair she was off to another customer in the building to cut some kids hair.

    Kinda thinking about a nap not sure

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Had a decent sleep for once and decided to go to the new house to empty the car. Tomorrow I’ll fill as many of my houseplants in the car & head out again for more painting.

  • Michele Soyer

    Relaxing again today – tomorrow it is off to the grocery and other assorted errands…Lists to make and have to think about what to do about Sunday lunch….

  • Polly Hall

    I helped my son and husband put in a new toilet today at the cottage. I did not do the heavy work, I was the gopher.

  • gloria patterson

    Woke up at 4:30 am turned the tv on to CNN. They were just getting in to the carriage, I watched the coronation and was so surprised. I just never expected so much reglion in the ceremony. And this is not nice to say but I could just hear the king/queen OMG these robes are hot, this crown is heavy. You want me to hold these heavy things. If they made it more modern I would hate to see what they had do years ago. I watched it till they got in the coach and PW and family got in a coach…………………………. AND the next thing I knew it was 11 am

    So have looked around and watched some more and then decided I needed a nap.

    • Kate Sarsfield

      Charles is also the Head of the Anglican Church as was every Monarch since Henry Vlll split from Rome to divorce Catherine of Aragon to marry Anne Boleyn, hence the religious aspect.

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Six hours driving & my bottom’s numb! Packed the car with books and clothes and I’ll go again during the week. Took Viktor for a drive-thru Burger King as a treat. He loved the mountains & trees of Wicklow, especially the extinct volcanoes!

  • heather

    My day is going pretty good. I watched the King Charles III coronation it was really neat to see wish I was there but at least watching it on television you can see everything.

    I have no motivation today to do anything – I should get up and vacuum or scrub something but I looked around and there is nothing to clean or scrub! If my mum was alive she would tell me to take the day off… she was famous for that phrase…so I am taking her advice and picking up my book getting another cup of coffee and relaxing!

    Not much sleep last night then woke to the news that the musical director of all those Pantos has died. He only retired from teaching last year and was so looking forward to his retirement along with his cellist wife. He had music and naughtiness in his veins in equal amounts. Cancer bloody sucks.

    They’ve lined up a biopsy for me at the end of the month, so there’s that to dread, lol. Oh well, I’m going to try to just not stress about it because there’s nothing I can do to change anything–it’s a wait and see kind of thing. There will be time to stress later on if it’s necessary.

    There have been pictures all over facebook on our weather in WV. A lot of higher elevations got SNOW several inchs of it. Lower areas we just got the cold weather Nevt week it is back in the 70’s Was going to say quick trip to walmart but they have moved EVER thing in that store. And some of it so stupid. So it was a lot of hunt and seek and then I would think of something would have to hunt again.

    My day is going ok so far. Just got in the door and sat down to rest my feet. My internet is already making me crazy up and down today.

    Ouch! Everything aches after another long day of painting. The guy I had lined up to move my furniture from one side of the country rang to say he’d had to move back to the UK as his elderly parents are both quite frail so now I’m frantically seraching online (with lousy internet service) to find a replacement. I’m really worried now – funds are extremely limited. As Mum would say: maybe we should go back on the game, Kate!
