$50 Your Way Giveaway September 2023!

First and foremost, HOW IS IT SEPTEMBER already!?!?! MAN, this year is flying by!! Did you know it’s only 116 days away from Christmas?? I know, that was mean. Would it make you feel better to know that it’s only 61 days till Halloween!?? NOW I KNOW that means that I can start decorating today.

For those of you that are new here. The first of the month, (every. single. month) I post my $50 Your Way Giveaway. I usually update what has been happening up on the mountain (in beautiful Sandpoint Idaho). Some months I have more news than others. August went really fast. Between all the doctor appointments for The Husband and me. GESH!! Getting older is NOT for sissies. So, I finally have a diagnosis. Cushings Disease and PMR which is Polymyalgia Rheumatica. GESH!!

The Husband after cataract surgery

The Husband had cataract surgery in both eyes. He is giddy with the results. (Can men be giddy?? Maybe I should say SERIOUSLY HAPPY with the results) I sent this picture to the kids and Zachary immediately shot back, WHAT did they do? TAPE his EYE in??  I shot back well the glue gun didn’t work and he cried when I got out the stapler.

In other news. The Grandgirls went back to school. Alice in the 7th grade and Olivia started HIGH SCHOOL!!

I can’t believe how grown up the girls are.

Okay, now for the REAL reason you are here!!

GIVEAWAY TIME!!

    Day is going good so far. Got what I wanted to this weekend so far and tonight we will have friends and family over for dinner:)

  • Tamra Phelps

    I don’t know what’s up with Chrome today. I had to switch to a diferent browser to access PB & Whine. Oh, well. Usually these glitches work out in a days time.

  • l p

    the day is going well. it’s overcast, chilly with rain threatening but the outside errands got taken care of so that’s great. thanks

  • gloria patterson

    Got a new Aero garden delivered yesterday……………. got a great deal on it. This is my 3rd one. I love having fresh flowers so I never grow veggie in them. So I set it up this morning and then took a long nap. Listening to some old movies and on the laptop

  • Kate Sarsfield

    I did post a comment but it seems to have disappeared! Anyway, to sum up: after a v.long night and lots of antihistamine & water, naps etc. am feeling much better.

  • heather

    My day is going much better now that I am home. I had some running around to do this morning and it just wasn’t my day out there seems like all the machines were not working properly that I encountered.

  • Michele Soyer

    Well last day of the month and boy did it go quickly – I received quite a few phone calls regarding the property with some scheduling site visits after they retain a man of business here – keeping my fingers crossed – did 3 loads of laundry – you might wonder where in the heck do 2 women make all this laundry?? Anyway on the line and French Toast for breakfast – glad I sanitized the aviary already and dumped the compost – now I can read, read, read!

  • Tamra Phelps

    I’m having one of those days when I just feel restless. Nothing is what I want to do or eat or read, etc. Hopefully it passes soon, lol.

  • gloria patterson

    Was at the Dr at 8 am ever thing looks good will check again next friday. I was reading a book and covered up my left eye and the pages looked yellow. Then I cover the right eye and the pages were WHITE!!

  • Kate Sarsfield

    There I was busy planting spring bulbs when I got stung by a wasp, then another and another … got inside, took an antihistamine, jumped in the car & headed for the pharmacist. They were brilliant. Took me to a side room, slathered my legs (9 stings), my arm (1 sting) and the back of my head (1 sting) with antihistamine cream, got ice packs & a glass of water. After about 10 mins I was fit enought to drive. Since then all I’ve done is feel sorry for myself 🙁

    • gloria patterson

      So glad you were smart enough to drive to the pharmacist! Maybe you should take the next few days off and just be lazy. No work just a book or two and some movies…………….. NAPS NAPS NAPS are good things to do this weekend

  • Michele Soyer

    I could just sit and read all day BUT the pooch needs a bath and my daughter would like gnocchi today so pooch first then on to cooking – now that I am not chained to outside labor anymore except a few pots of clowers I can do what I truly enjoy and cooking/baking is one of those pleasures!

  • Kath

    Whew. What a day. I helped friends move from their house to an apartment. There’s no room to walk in the living room as the boxes are covering the floor. I hope things get settled soon – they’re exhausted.

  • gloria patterson

    Got to the hospital early, first person cancel so I got moved up!! This & that…… quick & easy go back Fri am for followup.

    Have clear patch over left eye have to use the drops for a while Had a 3 hr nap now playing on the laptop

  • clynsg

    Day is half gone and has been pretty good so far. Do have to go into town and do the online insurance inspection for a rental house we just bought, but that shouldn’t take long, and the weather is really nice right now.

  • Stephanie Larison

    I am doing okay, thanks. I just took my 2 year old to the dentist this morning and apparently she has crowded teeth and will need braces in the future. Another kid goes tomorrow to get extractions because she’ll need braces in the next few years. Lol, out of my 4 girls, looks like they all will need them at some point. Going to be soooo expensive! My 14 year old is currently in them, sigh.

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Thoroughly suprised myself: Was up & at ’em by 07.30!!! Sorted the shed, scrubbed the animal crate & pet carriers, unpacked the stuff to go in the shed, ordered more paint for collection tomorrow and all before 12.00! Heavy rain due now so going to curl up for a bit.

  • Michele Soyer

    We had 27 “looks” at the property on the international site we posted on – maybe just maybe the coming full moon and then eclipses in October will spark a sale…hope springs eternal…I have been lazy these days reading book after book – it is kinda nice!

  • gloria patterson

    today was not a lot done…………… kinda lazy

    Got my call need to be at the hospital by 7am thursday …………….. so ready for this one

  • l p

    the day is going well although it started early. have to get used to the construction crew working on next door’s buildings starting before 7 a.m. thanks

  • Kate Sarsfield

    I’m still surrounded by things that need to go into the shed BUT no point even unpacking them till I get the animal crate & 2 cat carriers out first AND as we’re in the middle of Storm Agnes, that’s not going to happen till the weekend. Might do the second coat of floor paint in the bedroom but I think I might be feeling a bit too lazy to do that today!

  • Tamra Phelps

    I am so fed up with my own health, lol. Is this really what middle age is: one damn health problem after another??? I miss the days when I didn’t even think about my health, lol.

  • gloria patterson

    I could not go to sleep last night around 2 I finally drifted off……………………….. and then LEG CRAMP!!! In the back of my thigh … got the pickle jar out pour so in a cup. Then got big ice pack out…… Pickle juice and ice pack and I was out. Wide awake at 6:30

    Ran to kroger to pick up some peperonni rolls. Sat down at my laptop and the cramp is back

    • Kate Sarsfield

      Check with you doc if you can take calcium tabs at night. I used to get awful cramp in my feet every night till I started taking them.

  • heather

    We got some much needed rain last night and it was wonderful. I wish it was still raining we need it for the widfires in the area. I am being quiet today and jut doing stuff online.

  • susan atkins

    My day is going great ! Itis my husbands 72 nd birthday and we are going to celebrate with a cake and ice cream with the girls and grandchildren.

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Slept till lunchtime. Ah, me! Those were the days when I could party all night, attend College lectures all day then party again!

  • Michele Soyer

    Today is back to work…Starting with a tidy up of the apartment downstairs then a good sweep of the garage area.. ending it with my 6 week malathion spray around the house and garden – one thing about the tropics there is never a shortage of all and sundry bugs and pests…

  • gloria patterson

    My plans for today…………….. STAY HOME DO NOTHING!!

    That got changed Dr called in prescription for mom and the pharamcy does not deliver till Wed & Fridays. Visted mom and told her I would go get the prescription and she started talking about tomatoes, and they were going to be gone sone. Seniors got $50 worth of farmers market coupons this year. Well mom had not used any of hers…………

    I bought $50 coupons worth of tomatoes RED, YELLOW, PINK & GREEN!

    It is 68 light rain and the light is fading. FALL is here

  • Kate Sarsfield

    I slept for 10 hours last night! Feeling ok after yesterday’s marathon apart from my lower back. The bones from my coccyx to the pelvis/spine are fused (born that way) so they don’t ‘give’ so can’t stretch to get the kinks out. Might sleep on the floor tonight.

  • Michele Soyer

    Today is a bank holiday here. Republic Day so I am taking the day off – I believe in taking any and all holidays! Plenty of leftovers so I don’t have to cook but a dessert was requested so I stll have apples, pears and some figs left from my very expensive splurge in the import section of the grocery – after that once again books etc…Tomorrow I will begin work again…

  • gloria patterson

    Today is gret niece’s 7th birthday and her party………….. So much food sister in law and one niece have a bar with food and also do cartering……….. so good cooks. Several family member brought big crocks pots of food. Had pizza you name it, two tables full. And NO I DID NOT cook anything (I don’t do that ) gave niece some money for the party……

    In great niece school there are 3 first grade classes……….. Well Zay likes this boy in another class. So she did a invitation for this boy and asked that class teacher to give him the invitation. And he showed up! And they ignored each other. I was sitting in the right spot when Lilly (best friend) came up to him and SAID … ZAY WANTS YOU IN THE BOUNCE HOUSE RIGHT NOW! And off it went!

    It was so much fun watching them

    It was great party and was so happy when it was all cleaned up and we could go home!!

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Well. I made it! Left at 7am, got to Monamolin Village & picked up my outdoor plants and popped into the graveyard for a quick chat with Mum & Dad, then onto Gorey where we loaded the van with mostly outdoor & garage stuff. Left Gorey at 1pm & finally got home at 6pm. By 8 we had unloaded everything. All this during an 11-hour storm! Wish I had hot water for a shower but I don’t, so boiled the kettle & had a good hot scrub-down, something to eat & now ready for bed.

  • Michele Soyer

    Sunday, blessed Sunday! After cooking doing nothing but fun things.. playing with pets, reading and listening to some great music…watched The justice League last night…needed some action entertainment instaed of anyhting deep and dark!

  • l p

    the day is going quite well. it’s really windy outside so it’s an indoor day. good thing as there’s some roadwork going on outside and it’s rather noisy. thanks

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Off to bed soon as up at 5.30 for the 5 hr drive to Wexford. Been checking the weather forecast all week & tomorrow is going to be bloody awful. Rain, wind, thunder & lightening – eek! The traffic should be ok though, being a Sunday.

  • Michele Soyer

    Sitting here deciding on what to do today – making a spinach pie for lunch and some potato cakes thats about it..Have study paperwork on the table to go over then my book.. Have been watching Domina finished the last one in the series so going back to the 70’s to watch I, Claudiius again one of my all time favourites!

  • gloria patterson

    I am being lazy for the next 2 days. Not going to do much of any thing just read my new books and naps. Sunday is great nieces 7th birthday party she is so excited.

  • Michele Soyer

    Found another global site to advertise my property on so we are now 1 local and US and one global.. there is another great site but budget must be maintained…trying to stay upbeat and positive – for some unknown reason I woke up thinking about coconut macaroons – have many paks in the freezer from the last time I harvested dry ones – so after breakfast I will make a batch – that should keep me out of trouble – pouring rain so I have an excuse to not go out and do land work….

  • gloria patterson

    Ran up to walmart picked up a few things. Bought myself a present that I have been wanting. Received a tower fan that I had order for my mother put it together and took it to her.

  • heather

    Chilly morning here I am so happy the season has finally changed. Now if only we could get some rain. Hope you have a great day. I am staying one today and getting stuff done around the house.

  • Kate Sarsfield

    At last feeling so much better and have resisted the temptation to do too much today. Actually had a nice time picking a few catnip toys for when I get (fingers crossed) Loki and Bryn. Sister and niece rang to sing Happy Birthday (family tradition). Very strange to hear it in unison but the singing gene seems to have passed them by! Nice long emails from Dad’s two sisters as well.

  • Polly Hall

    My husband & I had a really nice day with his ageing Aunt & Uncle we went to lunch, did some site seeing and hung out at their house

  • Tamra Phelps

    A case manager from the local community serrvices is coming by tomorrow. He’s going to see if he can manage to finagle me a new wheelchair. Fingers crossed but not gonna get to upbeat aboit it yet.

  • gloria patterson

    Have not been out of my apartment today. My lazy day! Read a little, on the laptop a little, crafted a little…..
    then took a 2 hr nap!

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Set off for my stint at the animal rescue centre. After about 2 hours started to feel woozy, cold & sweating so sat in the car, ate some candy & began to feel better. My blood sugars must have been low after the days in bed & not much eating. Got a sweet & sour on the way home & ate it in bed. Feel better now.

  • l p

    the day is going well, sort of. having to get used to construction noise. they start early but are finished by dinner time. it’s going to be a good four years before both buildings are completed. out to purchase some good quality earplugs. maybe that will help. thanks

  • heather

    My day is going pretty good so far today. I hit the grocery store super early today before the crowds and got everything done and am back home.

  • Peggy Nunn

    The is going great. The sun is shining and the birds a squaking… not really singing… just making noise. But it is nice and peaceful out here.

  • l p

    the day is going fairly well. out first thing to help some friends with a project, a bit of grocery shopping, time to put my feet up and have a cup of tea. thanks

  • gloria patterson

  • heather

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Feeling a wee bit better today, but sleeping on & off all day so far. Have managed to eat a little. Need to get my act together ready for tomorrow.

  • Fredrick Pauly

    I spent yesterday driving home to Myrtle Beach from Murfreesboro, TN and have to work 9 hours today, so I’m a little tired, but good besides that.

  • Michele Soyer

    Yesterday was a bit of this and that…Got up at half 5am to get out by 6am to trim and clean all the bushes outside my gate that border the road – was done by 9am.. breakfast then to call the prospective buyer regarding the property – was not in the country but requested pics etc….did that to find out it was too big a property so ok thats that. BUT in walking around my neighbor who bounds me deep in the bush and just works the land doesn’t live on it told me someone he knows is interested in land but will take a look at the house also – scheduling that now…
    Today I plan on baking a bit and making lists to go out tomorrow…

  • heather

    I was having good day until someone cut in line right in front of me after I had been waiting for a very very very long time. Oh and yes I called her out on it and barked pretty loud!

  • gloria patterson

    Fall is knocking at our door the temp was down to 40 last night. Had a jacket on this morning didn’t take if off till I got back to the building. Did a little of this and a little of that……………… and my recliner keeps yelling at me YOU NEED A NAP!

    Just think Nov 5 time will change………….

    By 8:10 am on tuesday the Dr will be giving me my Steroid shots in both wrist. Yes it hurts a bit but boy the relieve. I am counting the minutes 🙂

  • Tamra Phelps

    Our days have really cooled off now. It feels like Fall here in KY. Of course, it could swing right back to hotter than the surface of the sun at any time…

  • clynsg

    Just fine so fine. Quiet in the house right now,since everyone else is either asleep or at work. I have to do a couple of things later that are necessary but not particularly pleasing, but that is life!

  • Rhonda Struthers

    I am having a good day thus far. I am catching up on emails with coffee in hand. Looking forward to a low key beautiful day.

  • Donna S

    It’s a so-so day. The cat woke me up fairly early. I decided to play a few games on my Ipad. Then it started to rain. It’s overcast now and a bit cool.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Well, it started off a nice day but now it’s raining out there. Anyway, it has been an okay day. I think my UTI is getting better.

  • Darlene Carbajal

    My day is going well. I am recovering from my trip to Vegas. Did so much walking! I feel like my legs are going to fall off! 🤣

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Have spent the last 2 days in bed, shivery & sweating, but I think I’m over the worst. It means I had to cancel getting my stuff out of storage but I couldn’t have managed the hours of driving.

    • gloria patterson

      Kate hope you are feeling better and off to see your kittys. You are not getting enough nap time. Maybe you need to bring a kitty home with you so it can teach you about naps 🙂 How much stuff do you have in storage? Is there room for all of it at your house? Take it easy BE LAZY

  • gloria patterson

    The tenp is 63 and I just looked out my window and a tree across the road is changing to orange….

    FALL is here

    Just did a little of this and not much of that today. Trying to get all my paperwork done and in order

  • heather

    My day is off to a good start. Hope I can get this comment to post for the second time. I am just doing stuff around the house today and also online.

  • Natosha

    I feel pretty awful today, from yesterday being sick and woke up still the same. I am trying to feel better so that on Monday at least I can feel way better than today or Saturday. However, my hopes are high and I do feel like it’s getting better as time goes on. I hope your day is going well. Have a great Sunday and a wonderful week ahead!

  • Michele Soyer

    Sunday blessed Sunday….I have to put the chicken in the oven then sit down and make menus for the week to organize my time – also I have to get out thsi week and do a bit of shopping…after that the sofa, my book some Chopin on the stereo and depending on the time a glass of wine!

  • Tamra Phelps

    Sent off the urine sample to the hospital lab (my s-i-l took it for me) & got a call later saying they rejected it because I forgot to put my phone number on the cup. What??? They literally CALLED me on the phone…I think they have my phone number. But no, it has to be written on the up. Geeze. I mean how does that help with my I.D.? I mean, it doesn’t in any way guarantee that it’s my pee, lol. Oh well. The doctor gave me medicine Friday, this was just to confirm that the med was the right one. If it doesn’t work, I guess I’ll have to go back but I’m not jumping through hoops for stupid bureaucracy.

  • gloria patterson

    Fall is arriving here in WV, nights are really cool (45 last night) Morning for me says you need a light jacket, by noon it comes off. Have not opened my windows in at least 3 days. Made up a big batch of browned hamburg and med hot pepper sauce. Had enough for 3 small freezer bags and for me to eat today and tomorrow. Today I baked a small spaghetti squash, and then poured sauce on it………………. was good. Just doing some paperwork and not much else.

    Was thinking this time day next month I will be having my knee replacement surgery.

  • Anonymous

    the day is going well. went out first thing to get a few groceries. about an hour after getting home, had to close all windows and doors as heavy smoke has reappeared. hope that doesn’t mean new fires. thanks

  • Michele Soyer

    Got a referral of someone interested in my property – calling them on Monday.. Mercury is direct so maybe just maybe things will start to move forward again….

  • gloria patterson

    Had to take my mother an run a few errands. After that to brothers so mom could see his new porch!! It is a WOW and not quite finished. Then over to my sister in laws mothers home. He mother has been in a nursing home for over 5 years (long story). So they finally decided to clean the house and my niece is going to rent the house and take care of it.

    They are having a garage sale on saturday. OMG there is so much stuff. My niece knows aniiques so she got all the old worth something and sold it on line. I was overwhelmed the minute I walked into the garage and basement. She has 50+ teapots all shapes and sizes,. And that is just a drop in the bucket of stuff that they are selling.

    After looking at that basement the best advice I can offer anybody.

    IS GET RID OF STUFF YOU ARE NOT USING DON’T LEAVE IT FOR YOUR KIDS TO HAVE TO DO SOMETHING WITH.

  • Penny Lebaron

  • Michele Soyer

    Patiently waiting for the lawnman to get this cutting over with so I can rake and do some green manure composting – if the new owner whoever they are doesn’t want the compost they can get rid of it….have to do 2 mini tests today in Art History then yoga and my new obsession gong therapy meditation – cannot stand the singing bowls but the gongs I find soothing!

    • Kate Sarsfield

      With you about the singing bowls, although if I ding with my fingernail against the rim, the wild ginger tom cat comes for his food!

  • gloria patterson

    Trying to work on cleaning my car up. Had a couple of car washes (one was free 🙂 ) Finally got the inside windshield cleaned and no streaks in the sun. My poor dash is for so reason stickie!

  • Kate Sarsfield

  • Tamra Phelps

    Doesn’t seem like it has been 22 years since 9-11, does it? An entire generation has been born and now graduated college since then, I guess. And yet, it still seems like it just happened.

  • Kate Sarsfield

    I was still awake at 6am, yawning & tired but just could not get to sleep. Anyway, finally woke up at 10, and went shopping to stock up the pantry, unpacked, sat on the bed to put on work clothes and woke at 9pm, fully convinced I’d done a day’s work and that it was the morning.

  • gloria patterson

    Have been thinking about this day off and on all day. MEMORIES!

    We had just moved into a new office building and two of us were hooking up & setting up desktop computers in our new computer lab. I was laying on the floor when some one walked in and was telling us. It was so hard to believe we turned on the TV’s and WOW We all had tears pouring down our faces. The boss told us all to go home. I spend several hours making phone calls my sister was flying that day. She finally called me she was flying in the southern states.

  • Michele Soyer

    Just spoke to my second cousin who was a first reponder in NYC on this day years ago – he still has vivid memories.. God love him and those who also were there to help and those who passed…..

  • gloria patterson

    Woke up about 3 am and I could not go back to sleep. Turned the TV on got a old movie that I have saw to many times to count. Watched it and second movie started and I was out!

    I think I’m going to have to research TV antennas, since the local stations are still in a carriage fee dispute with the satellite company…ugh.

  • Tamra Phelps

    It’s like Fall landed today, lol. Leaves were on the ground. Temp dropped considerably and sky was overcast. Of course, it’ll probably reverse in a few days, lol.

  • Shelly Peterson

  • gloria patterson

    Finally fell asleep this morning around 2 am and slept till almost 7 and then of course had to had a 2 hr nap. Its only 75 and have had rain off and on all day. NOT going any where got some reading to do.

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Doing lots of little jobs today but do have good news: got a small loan approved so I can finally get the rest of my stuff out of storage and my plants (if she hasn’t killed them) from my sister.

    Slow today. I’m a little bit achy. Yesterday when the bus brought me home, the guy brought the wheelchair lift down and he thought it was all the way down but it wasn’t–so when I rolled forward, the front wheels, the small ones, went off the ramp and hit the sidewalk–and they don’t keep rolling when that happens. They just stop and the chair tips forward. I would have pitched face first onto the sidewalk, but I managed to get my right leg off the foot rest and stop myself by putting it on the sidewalk. But that’s my bad leg–so my knee is aching. (My left leg sort of went forward and wouldn’t budge off the foot rest, likely because the shoe’s non-skid sole was stuck on the rest.) So the left foot is sore and the right knee is aching from my quick responses that were more than they expected to have to do, lol. Honestly, that’s the closest I’ve come to an accident in the chair in a long time. One of my fears of the motorized chair is that I would never be able to control it like that (it weighs 405 pounds–I could never stop it with my feet.) I have huge lack of control issues with wheelchairs, lol. I am a big control freak!

    • Kate Sarsfield

      Crikey, you were lucky! I never fell forward in mine but did go backwards once & banged my head. Own fault, I’d overloaded the handles with shopping then hit a bump.

  • gloria patterson

  • Kate Sarsfield

  • Peggy Nunn

  • Tamra Phelps

    Good news at the doctor. The medicine has kept the cancer in check, possibly slightly reduced it. Very slightly, but that’s fine.

  • gloria patterson

    It got cool last night and stayed that way till around noon. Had to run some errand with my mother. Have done a little bit of nothing all day. What I want to do is set down with my new JD ROBB book and read it straight through. BUT I have another one that I have started and should finish. Maybe this weekend

  • gloria patterson

    Had a dr appointment to make sure I was in good shape for my cataract surgery. I switched to a new Dr after 25+ years of the same family dr. And I really like this new Dr. I passed inspection one step closer to my surgery.

    When I left the Dr I was just across a parking to walmart so yes I had to go shopping. Bought some new clothes NOT real sure if I will keep them. And you know the rule at walmart if you see and don’t buy it might not be there thge next day.

    I stole this from Kate —- humid, still, heat is tiring I finally gave in and had 15 minute nap

  • heather

Feel so grateful to feel well again!!

    the day is going well – fog/haze/smoke is dissipating but not enough to make me want to go outside. sorry to hear of your diagnoses but to echo others, at least now you know what to target. hope treatment works and swiftly. thanks

  • gloria patterson

    Just one of those days that I am not in the mood to do anything

    I read a little bit (and it is a good book)

    Try to take a nap (not sleepy)

    Watch a little TV ( cannot find any thing to watch……………….. and I have 100’s of channels)

    just one of those days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Started working at 8am – seriously, this isn’t me at all, but I got up instead of turning over as the sun was shining. By the time I’d finished one job, the sun had gone and the mist was rolling in so worked inside till 12 then did a Gloria till 2 and the sun burnt up the mist. Outside to sand & paint a big outdoor table I use for seedlings & cuttings then more indoor painting. Autumn is fast approaching so I need to waterproof everything I can. Sealing a couple of leaky joints in the guttering tomorrow if this weather holds.
    Connie, Alice is wearing exactly the same clothes as I did in the ’70s!

    • gloria patterson

      Kate you have to admit you are enjoying those naps!!! Regarding Alices clothes I was in walmart one day looking at I cound not believe………………… they are full of bellbottoms are kinds of wild patterns. And other clothes I remember wearing back in the 70’s I bet there are a lot of people here that remember wearing bell bottoms LOL

    The sun actually shone today so I was able to do a wee bit of tidying up in the garden, but there’s an almost overwhelming amount to do out there.

  • Peggy Nunn

    My day is not going so well today. I am trying to give away a decent couch and love seat for FREE. I have had 3 no shows. People are so inconsiderate. Oh well, I will keep on trying.
