September is HERE! Single Blog #Win! $50 Your Way #Giveaway
September #Giveaway. Hello little Peanuts. As you can tell I’m pretty much still on vacation mode! Holy MOLY!! Vacation made me MELLLLLO!!! I truly only want to play in my craft-room. Walmart had Alice size t-shirts on clearance for $1.00! Needless to say Alice has gotten a non-stop supply of t-shirts. I imagine my daughter doesn’t have to do laundry for at least a month!! From Harry Potter to 1st Day of School designs. My Cricut Maker machine is the BEST INVESTMENT E-V-E-R!! I’m made stickers for my daughters car. Selena (the daughter) bought Alice plain notebooks verses the fancier ones and I sent stickers. Deer, bears, and moose. Alice requested a couple extra’s; squirrel and a weasel. A WEASEL?!?! She’s 8! WHY a weasel?! ANYWAY….. stickers came out super cute and made a .10 cent notebook look fancy. Then I printed and cut the 1st Day of School frames, words like teacher, date, grade, height, weight, what she wants to be when she grows up and a place for her to write her name. It will be fun to watch these things grow as over the years.
Best part? These vinyl sayings were placed inside the frame, she can use wipe off markers and start fresh when Alice goes into 4th grade. The whole thing came out so cute!
Yeah the ring has nothing to do with any of this………. but if anyone spots a ring like this with cubic zirconia (of course) be sure to remember where and let me know!!
Deck (upstairs and main floor) still aren’t done. HOWEVER! If you aren’t scared of heights you will be fine. We have flooring but no rails and it’s A REALLY long way down. (NO we don’t let Bear go on the patio! Nope, my luck she’d see a rabbit and hope 2 stories!) We are hoping we have rails before the first snow, but not getting my hopes up. The front porch I REALLY don’t think will be completed before next spring. However, what’s up looks amazing.
I think that’s all I have for you this month.
Now the REAL reason you are here!

I went to my dialysis treatment and came home and took a nap.
Sarah L
Good time at the pool. Then grocery shopping, bad choice – DO NOT SHOP AT 5PM!
Piroska
It’s a dull rainy day, dark as evening, but it’s cozy and warm inside. Time to read.
Michele Soyer
Since I had to go into the village today I roamed around a bit and when to the chemist…picked up some cold tablets to keep on hand and then back home….
Rosie
Got a bunch of small things done, but it seems like I didn’t get much accomplished. Last day of September, must enjoy this nice weather, still sleeveless, but cool and so nice!
Tamra Phelps
Another Monday. I have an appointment tomorrow in Lexington, so that means a long day spent on an ambulance stretcher. (No wheelchair if I have to be transferred to another bed, etc.) I’m anticipating a long day.
mami2jcn
I’m not having such a great day. I have 2 kids who are sick, and a 3rd who is showing signs as well.
Kate Sarsfield
Up early to watch Scotland take on Samoa in the Rugby World Cup (it’s in Japan so there’s a big time difference). It’s raining and Lorenzo is heading our way later this week so we’re expecting even more rain than usual.
Veronica Lee
Nothing eventful today but I am enjoying the cool weather.
Teresa D Kunberger
Today’s been a whole lot better then the whole weekend Saturday I discovered my truck was stolen and then the police found it Saturday night who ever stole it took my husband’s system, deck and amp out of it. 🙁 I feel so bad for him he’s worked so hard for those!
shelly peterson
I stayed up late watchung my granddaughter so I slept in today. I ran a few errands.
Crystal K
Nice long hike with the whole family, including the dog! Great day!
Sarah L
Good rehearsal for Sage Singers. You have snow. We had 89 degrees today.
Rosie
Nice day today, got some fresh air. Made some Italian anise cookies. Finished the dishes, and settling in now for the evening!
Michele Soyer
Have to make another trip to the lawyer tomorrow so couldn’t take today off….. got a new bed ready for veggies.. cleaned out the flower bed and put in new seedlings….. cleaned out the aviary…..put some new plants in the conservatory and to end it did a load of laundry….
Sunday lunch is in the oven and I am ready for a cocktail and to just sit down….I might be gone for the better part of tomorrow so it all had to be done….
Veronica Lee
Met a couple of old friends at Sunday Mass today.
Kate Sarsfield
Wow! Sarah has snow! We have grey, lots of it, and damp. My old bone breaks are beginning to feel the change in the seasons. Still can’t tweet – it took 7 days for them to let me back last time. Suppose this means I have time to do housework 🙁
shelly peterson
Today was so cold. I stayed in and relaxed.
Sarah L
You have snow! We have 85 degrees tomorrow. (I miss being able to comment on your instagram – but it still hates me and won’t let me have an account)
Kate Sarsfield
AGH and AGH again! Twitter won’t let me tweet again. So bloomin’ annoying. Last week it took 7 days before it came back. All I do is share comp. tweets etc. Oh, well … I have a roof over my head & food in my belly, shouldn’t complain.
Rosie
Day is winding out, I just kind of went with the flow, getting things done, but with no plan or “to do” list in sight! Whee!
Tamra Phelps
The new roommate is a puzzle. I was told she has cancer, ‘eat up with it’ was the phrase used. It’s hard to understand her speech, but that could be because of the cancer, or maybe she was that way before. She seems slightly developemently challenged, but then again that could be the cancer. She seems like a nice lady, either way.
Rosie
Must be hard to not have any say over who you end up with as a roommate!
Veronica Lee
Son #1 is buying dinner at our fave Japanese restaurant. Looking forward.
Michele Soyer
Of course the tech never came and no one called either…..in the grand scheme of things it is not really that important but very annoying.. have to do a bit of spraying with neem oil today….then enjoy the rest of the day…
Tamra Phelps
Oh, it is just annoying enough to get under your skin!! You try not to let it become a big deal, but it is irritating, lol.
Laurie Nykaza
My daughter has a cold and has been raining so just hanging out watching tv all day.
shelly peterson
I went to dialysis and then to dinner with my sons.
Crystal K
I am BEAT. Did some home improvement projects and then took my kids to an astronomy festival. Walked all OVER the place!
Tamra Phelps
Well, they put a new roommate in. This one is dying of cancer. Have I become the person they give dying roommates to? It is upsetting to watch someone die.
Michele Soyer
So sorry Tammie… that arrangement is so sad for you…
Sarah L
Good swim at the pool. Then the bank. Then Costco for a few things including one of their yummy roast chickens.
Rosie
Wow, this day kind of galloped right by, not sure why, but settling in now. Pink and blue sky outside after the sunset.
Kristen
My day is going quite well so far 🙂
Michele Soyer
Spent a lovely morning out in the bright sunshine.. tech called and supposedly he is coming to check the internet line today… when pigs fly…..LOL
Maureen
It is Friday. The weather has gotten cooler –so I am happy.
Kate Sarsfield
All I’ve done today is a little gardening in between the showers. Still tired after the long drive and sitting around yesterday.
Veronica Lee
A necklace I purchased online arrived today. Totally made my day!
Sue E
My day went great! It was my daughter’s 21st wedding anniversary!! So proud of them ?
shelly peterson
My Mom left back home today. She left at 5 am so I am tired today. I will surely miss her.
Sarah L
Quiet day at home. Walk around the lake in 80 degree weather.
Kate Sarsfield
Today I saw a consultant in Dublin about the pain in my hip. Had x-rays & now need an MRI as the actual bone is fine. I’ll see him again in 2 weeks. Very tired!
Michele Soyer
Hope you are feeling better… hip pain is awful…
Kate Sarsfield
It’s hard to sleep – that’s the worst part 🙁
Tamra Phelps
Kate, I think it sucks how they make you suffer much longer than necessary while they do x-rays, etc., when the doctor likely knew the MRI would be needed. I hope you get relief soon.
Michele Soyer
Telephone Company still has not fixed our internet….seriously thinking of dropping everything including the land line and going with a digicel package.. wireless….have to see what happens by next week….worked outside weeding and now just planning on relaxing with my book…
Rosie
Day is going good, my ride is coming for grocery shopping in a little bit. I hope to be home before the thunderstorms start!!
Veronica Lee
Today is my 27th Wedding Anniversary! Can’t for our lobster dinner tonight at a fancy restaurant!
shelly peterson
I went to dialysis today. My Mom is heading home tomorrow so we went out for dinner.
Tamra Phelps
Woke up this morning throwing up. That’s never good, lol. Acid reflux, I guess. That happens when you eat salsa at midnight!
Sarah L
Fun way to earn money by just showing up. 7 people showed up for the research study, but they only needed 5. So I sat around for 15 minutes and they gave me the money.
Kate Sarsfield
Nice work if you can get it!
Rosie
Nice day out today. I walked to town. We have a new state bag rule now. I asked for a double bag at CVS, as I informed her I have to carry all the way home. She wouldn’t do it, and guess what, my bag broke all the bottom and sides, and I had a really hard time getting home. I understand they want to save a tree, but it can be too much. I had forgotten to bring my own bag for CVS, I always remember for the grocery store.
Kate Sarsfield
I did a lot of running around today and actually ticked off quite a lot off my ‘to-do’ list that mysteriously never goes away!
Veronica Lee
I enjoyed watching “The Chaperone” with a friend today. Great movie.
shelly peterson
I had a nice relaxing day.
Tami Vollenweider
I volunteer at a local Thrift Center and had a great day! It is an unusual place,because people get get stuff free their and not have to pay any money! I go once a week and work with about 10 women! We have fun and get along good together!
Crystal K
Good day, swimming lessons with my kiddo and then worked on a house project.
Sarah L
Quiet day today, still warmer than usual.
Rosie
Another really nice day today, a great way to kick off fall! Getting dark so much earlier, already have the lights on for night time!
Kate Sarsfield
Great rehearsal last night for our fundraising Hits of The Musicals concert. Tonight I’m rehearsing for a book launch … busy month ahead!
Michele Soyer
Still the threat of rain today but the sky looks much better….. working up here today.. changing some curtains in the kitchen for “fall” and bringing all the autumn dinnerware and glassware up…time to enjoy the bold colors….
Veronica Lee
It rained today – a great respite from the suffocating haze we’ve been experiencing.
Ken Ohl
my wife and I clean houses for a living and both of our backs are not doing well it’s a tuff job to say the least
Laurie Nykaza
Hanging out indoors all day my kids are sick already this fall .
Sarah L
Good swim, then shopping and then dinner at Arby’s with the Bronco deal since they got 2 touchdowns (they didn’t win, but 2 touchdowns count)
Daniel M
terrible, just found out need $900 car repair
Piroska
My day is going quite well. First day of autumn, and the sun is shining, leaves are falling, but a gorgeous day.
Rosie
Day is going OK. First day of fall is a nice one. I was supposed to go to town, but then changed my mind, as there are so many things to get done here!
Kate Sarsfield
I’ve just done a 5-hour round trip in awful rain & mist – just horrible driving conditions 🙁 My eyes hurt!
Michele Soyer
Blessed be the storm bypassed us here in our little village up high.. areas of the country were evacuated and flooding occurred with electricity outages in other areas….schools are closed and the clean-up goes on today with more rain predicted for later this afternoon….
Kate Sarsfield
Stay safe x
Veronica Lee
Today is not a good day for me – the Indian flatbread that I attempted to make for the first time failed and my lentil curry was disastrous!
shelly peterson
We had our last big family get together before my Mom heads back home. I am pretty tired.
Crystal K
Great day hiking with my kiddos and my dog! Gotta cling tightly to the last warm days!
Sarah L
Good rehearsal with Sage Singers. Now for some dinner.
Tamra Phelps
Well, the weekend is nearly done. I’m really hoping physical therapy will start again this week. I feel ready.
Rosie
Nice day, got out for a while to enjoy the last of summer, should be nice tomorrow, too. Whoppee!
Michele Soyer
Tropical storm warning for today into tomorrow….went outside and put away anything that could be a problem…..Have all the energy today so decided to re-arrange the pantry and make an inventory for bulk shop next month….getting ready for the holidays and the advent of the hardest part of the rainy season….
Kate Sarsfield
Right, that’s the birthday out of the way for another year (phew!). I had a bit of a pamper session with Mum: massage, mani, pedi … lovely!
Crystal K
Busy day – found a great deal on a bed at the thrift store and went out and got a mattress for it. Little girl is fast asleep in her cool new bed!
shelly peterson
I had a wonderful day. I spent the Day in Odessa, WA for the Deutschesfest.
Sarah L
Quiet day at home. Just got notified about a research study next week that will pay me $150 for 1 1/2 hour meeting.
Rosie
Day is going good, nice day out. Getting a few things done. Had a nice long chat with a relative I hadn’t seen in a while!
Kim Pincombe-Cole
Happy Earth Wind & Fire day! (21st Day of September)

Well, today’s the day I have been on this planet and a member of the human race for sixty years. Where the flying flamingo did those years go?
Rosie
Happy birthday!!!
Kate Sarsfield
Thanks Rosie!
shelly peterson
I went to dialysis and then had my kids and grandkids over for dinner.
Crystal K
Quiet day. Global strike for climate action, so I spent some time doing eco things – cooking vegetarian food, line drying our laundry, etc.
Piroska
It’s been a blustery day today. Probably half the leaves have blown off the trees, and there is a golden carpet on the ground.
Carolsue
My day has actually been kind of quiet and boring. But I guess that’s good.
Sarah L
Good swim. Then lots of errands. Having salmon for dinner.
Michele Soyer
Still mad.. why ?? continuing buying internet via my mobile.. called our phone company to complain and now it supposedly is going to the supervisor to be placed further up the repair chain… and I also have some swamp land to sell you…..
Rosie
Nice day out, today. It started cold but by mid day it was almost 80! Went to town and stopped at the library, they have a good selection of magazines you can take out, then to Penzey’s for a free gift of spice, and stopped at Whole Foods for some milk and chips. I don’t have Prime so I don’t buy hardly anything there, only minimum to tide me over for when I go shopping. Saw my neighbor at the library.
Kate Sarsfield
Global Strike for Climate Action and I’m off into town to join the school children. Their future depends on us.
Veronica Lee
The weather is bad today – our skies gray and the city is shrouded in haze from the forest fires in neighbouring Indonesia.
Kate Sarsfield
Where do you live, Veronica?
Veronica Lee
Malaysia
Kate Sarsfield
I sing with a lady from Malaysia! She’s a Dr. in the local town & visits her family back in Malaysia every Christmas.
Veronica Lee
Say hello to her for me!
Crystal K
Lots of cleaning today, then some work. And a neighbor stopped by with freshly canned peaches!
shelly peterson
I tried to have a relaxing day but it didnt happen. Had to help others out.
Sarah L
Enjoyable time Steve Sitting today. For a gentleman of 100 years he has lots of stories to tell.
Kate Sarsfield
That must be wonderful! I love Mum’s stories about the war, refugees, POW camps, rationing etc. Even better since she had a stroke!
Rosie
Nice day out, but cold for Sept – 40 degrees! So decided to not go out, since it is going back up to 80!! Errands can wait!
Kate Sarsfield
Another lovely day so I’m clearing out the sludge from the cattle grid. I LOVE dirty, messy jobs!
Kim Avery
My day was going great. On track to get my husband to pain specialist for lumbar ablation. Then office calls to cancel appointment because Dr is sick!
Michele Soyer
Well enough is enough time to get out and do some work!! Seedlings have to be transplanted and seeds started….
Crystal K
Story time, grocery shopping, cooking…nothing too exciting here!
shelly peterson
Today was a typical day of dialysis.
Sarah L
Good swim. Happy National Cheeseburger Day!
Rosie
Good day, nice weather out, and made a nice soup in the slow cooker. Getting some things done around here.
Tamra Phelps
So, I saw the lymphadema specialist yesterday. I’ll be seeing her twice a week to help keep the edema under control, until I can get back to being able to walk and use the legs, which should be enough to help th edema permanantly.
Kate Sarsfield
More good news, Tamra. Keep it coming!
Michele Soyer
Had a grand time in the shoppes this morning.. I do love grocery shopping…packing up my ingredients for the holidays already so I don’t have to rush as orders come in….now to watch the rain and read with a hot cup of coffee…
Kristen
I’m having a rough few days. Lots of difficult challenges showing up…
Kate Sarsfield
It’s another lovely day – long may it last! I fixed a loose slate on the garage roof: Superglu is marvellous stuff!
shelly peterson
I didnt sleep well last night. I went grocery shopping today and then took a nap.
Crystal K
Pretty mellow day – swimming lessons with my kiddo, some yard work, some cooking.
Sarah L
Another wonderful Sensory Garden tour and project. The gardens are at their peak.

Quiet day, hope it stays that way. And sunny, too. Was able to get some mending and cleaning done that I need the bright light in here!
Maureen
looks like summer wants to hang on around here.
I am just back from yoga and now onto some things that need to be done around the house.
Kate Sarsfield
Well, I’m not in the Tropics and it’s glorious out there! Now if only I could get Mum out of bed …
Michele Soyer
It is pouring… a real tropical rainy day….oh well have to stay inside and play!!
shelly peterson
I went to dialysis as usual. I am tired.
Sarah Lehan
Good time at the pool. Quiet day otherwise.
The daily words this week make a funny sentence:
Bears
Ready
To
Craft
Michele Soyer
Internet went down this morning.. had to purchase a plan on my phone.. I hate doing that but until the provider does a fix I must have my connection….. am I complaining yes!! LOL
Rosie
Started out dark and rainy, then suddenly nice and sunny! Got a few things checked off the “to do” list, so that felt good!
Kim Avery
Today is the first day in over a week I’m actually feeling good! What I thought was bad allergies turned into a nasty head & chest cold! Lots and lots of tea with lemon & honey with a day or two of complete rest I’m back to cooking & baking!
Tamra Phelps
Oh boy, the arthritis went bonkers last night, right knee throbbing. I think it’s because I’ve been off of it too long. Weird thing about arthritis, though it might ache when you use a joint it will hurt much worse if you stop using it! Geeze. When did I get so old, lol. I mean, all I seem to talk about is what hurts. Oh, well. Things are getting better, slowly but surely.
Kate Sarsfield
All these things to look forward to when you’re a grown-up – pah!
Kate Sarsfield
Oh Lord, it took 2 hours to get Mum up & showered this morning. Mind you, I can’t blame her, it’s like November out there!
shelly peterson
I had a fantastic day at my nephews wedding.
Sarah L
Good singing at Sage Singers today. Getting better and better.
Rosie
Nice day out today! Perfect weather. Was able to get outside and enjoy!
Kate Sarsfield
I’ve had one of those ‘ooh, I know, I’ll fix this now’ days, which led to another little job, then another….
Michele Soyer
What a glorious Sunday it is.. the sun is bright and the sky is a gorgeous shade of blue…. Plan on sitting outside and reading until the sun gets too hot….
mami2jcn
Today we’re celebrating our daughter’s birthday. I’m excited to see how she’ll react to her gifts.
shelly peterson
I went to my nephews fiancé’s bridal shower today. I had a great time.
Crystal K
Went for a short hike, did some work, went out to dinner. Not a bad day!
Piroska
My day went well. We finally got some sunshine, and spent the day outdoors.
Sarah L
Just a quiet day at home after a busy week.
Rosie
Got a bunch of cooking done today, just finished cleaning up. Dark and rainy, but I like that esp when I’m going to be inside, and don’t need bright sunlight for sewing, etc.
Michele Soyer
All done and it is only half 2…Cakes frosted and packaged.. bread bagged and in the freezer.. sweet rolls.. well they are covered on the counter…..
Kate Sarsfield
The sinus infection is clearing up so I’m able to sleep right through the night which makes such a difference. No plans today other so it’ll probably turn out to be busy!
Kate Sarsfield
No, I don’t know where the ‘other’ came from or what it means!
shelly peterson
I went and picked up fair tickets that I won and ran to Krispy Kreme. Then I went to dialysis.
Crystal K
Great day having dinner and game night with friends.
Sarah L
A Pamper Me day: massage and then the pool. Nothing scheduled for tomorrow.
Michele Soyer
All thins considered it was a brilliant day… my to-do list is checked off.. all items.. so tomorrow I can spend the day baking.. bread.. sweet rolls.. and 2 ordered cakes….
Tamra Phelps
Well, no bad news at the surgeon’s today. My back has been ‘stable’ this past month, no loss of bone, so hopefully, over more time, the bone will begin to fuse. I know it’s Friday the 13th, and full moon tonight…but technically full moon isn’t until after midnight, so maybe it’s separate from the 13th, lol. Either way, I bet things will go bonkers around here tonight.
Kate Sarsfield
Watcha mean no bad news? Start with the positive, woman: that is brilliant news!
Kate Sarsfield
It has been a glorious day weather-wise plus my niece did really well in her exams and my sister’s eye problem looks like it’s resolving itself (something to do with the vitreous humour becoming too thick).
Rosie
Nice day out, and I’m getting ready to walk to town to do some errands!
Crystal K
Ooof I worked tonight and I’m beat. Good day though – shopping at the thrift store : )
shelly peterson
I spent the day with my Mom and went to lunch.
Sarah L
Got up early for Steve sitting. He still gets around pretty good for a guy who is 100 years old.
Rosie
Good day. Got back early from groceries, and now settling in with some tea on a rainy day. Have chores to do, but taking a break!
Tamra Phelps
I have an appt. tomorrow with the back surgeon. He’s doing x-rays to see if the area they did surgery on with the osteomyelitis (bone infection) from the MRSA is healing the way it should. They had to scrape out bone that was infected and hopefully it will start to fuse on it’s own.
Kate Sarsfield
Keeping everything crossed – about time you had some good news xxx
Kate Sarsfield
Last night we got the tail end of Dorian and now the tropical Storm Gabrielle is on her way so it’s warm & humid out there. Got a Doc.’s appointment this afternoon – another sinus infection 🙁
Michele Soyer
Up and moving early… working on the project I started yesterday.. had to stop due to torrential rain.. looks bright and sunny today….
Crystal K
A mellow day – grocery shopping and picnic outside. Made a new recipe (Mexican street corn tostadas) for dinner!
shelly peterson
I went to dialysis today. I am not feeling the greatest.
Sarah L
Fun Sensory Garden tour this afternoon. Toured the garden and then made fresh flower arrangements. Had just enough time to get to the pool for half an hour.
Kate Sarsfield
My choir started back last night and it was nice to meet up again after the summer break. Great craic was had, as we say here!
Rosie
Nice weather so far, rain and t-storms later. They turned the water off, due to repairs being done, so trying to get things done I don’ need to use the water. Amazing how many things need the water!!
Michele Soyer
Have a to-do list for garden expansion better get moving.. as it is the project is long and first I have to get some bamboo cut for me….if I can realize my dream of harvesting my own fruit and veggies entirely I will be a happy camper or should I say glamper!
shelly peterson
I didnt do too much today. relaxed and went grocery shopping.
Crystal K
One of our generous neighbors has an overproductive plum tree so we spent the day picking plums and making plum butter and plum muffins! My house smells great!
Tamra Phelps
Most of the excess fluid that bizarrely built up in my legs has finally gone. I’m looking forward to getting back to physical therapy soon. I just want to get home really soon.
Sarah L
Had the Fall Volunteer Summit at the Gardens. The flowers are so beautiful right now.
Michele Soyer
Wonderful shopping day today…. in and out of the hardware and the chemist in record time…barely gone an hour… plenty of time to get to work!
Rosie
Day is going good. I went to the Target store that just opened up in our area, nice to have one close by. I just bought a couple things, they had a special coupon for the opening. Whooppee!
Kate Sarsfield
I spent the morning running (well, hobbling) around town doing a couple of errands and tonight choir starts up again, so busy day!
shelly peterson
It was a typical Monday. I went to dialysis and came home and took a nap.
Crystal K
Quiet day with lots of cooking. A new toddler muffin recipe, hard boiled eggs, and lasagna!
Sarah Lehan
Good time at the pool. Then getting ready for the rest of the week.
Michele Soyer
Spent the day working with my cooked down compost.. putting it in the veggie garden.. Re planted some US sweet potatoes and the day flew by….Have to go in to the village tomorrow for some hardware supplies….
maureen
So far so good. Any day to get up out of bed is a good one. Have a few things going on but that makes life interesting.
Rosie
Nice early “fall” day today. Cooking up a batch of chickpeas in the slow cooker, going to make some hummus from scratch!
Kate Sarsfield
My sister rang in a panic late last night – her sight in one eye is suddenly v. bad. It happened once before when she woke up blind in that eye. I’m taking her to an opthalmologist later this morning so fingers crossed.
Rosie
Hope all is OK, that must be scary for her, and for you, too
Michele Soyer
Can it be a retinal detachment?? hope all is well…
shelly peterson
I had a wonderful day celebrating my birthday. My daughter took me to breakfast and then all my kids took me to dinner and bought gifts.
Kate Sarsfield
Hope you had a wonderful day & that they thoroughly spoiled you!
Tamra Phelps
I’m sitting here watching Serengeti. It’s the last episode. I swear, it’s like an animal soap opera, lol. If you didn’t watch it, you should.
Sarah L
Good rehearsal with Sage Singers. Getting ready for our Oct 11th concert.
Rosie
Nice out today, another day like fall! Time to get out the pumpkin spice. I love NuNaturals Pumpkin Spice Syrup (with Stevia), a little in your coffee, and ooh yum!
Kate Sarsfield
Neither of us slept well last night so we decided to have a really lazy day today and so far so good!
Michele Soyer
Ready to shower and relax for the balance of the day.. lunch is made.. garden is watered..dogs are fed and walked.. time to chill out with a nice glass of wine ….
Kim Avery
Pretty sure I’m dealing with an “end of summer” cold. I’ll be hunkered in bed with my tea & tissues after making some more elderberry syrup.
shelly peterson
I got breakfast with my daughter and then went to my nieces birthday party.
Tamra Phelps
Weekends here are either complete chaos or mind-numbingly slow. This one is slow. Oh well, that beats chaos.
Sarah L
Quiet day at home before a really busy week.
Michele Soyer
Started some passionfruit seeds and more apple.. the apple never fruits but the trees I have raised have lovely blooms…..as for the passionfruit I lost all my vines in last years tropical waves.. so begin again i always say….Happy weekend all….
Kate Sarsfield
How old are your apple trees? I know mine (in the past) have taken at least 7 years to start fruiting. But you’re right, they’re lovely all the same!
Michele Soyer
It has been about 5 years for them to flower…they only flower sparingly Kate and then drop the flowers very soon after.. for a short while they are so pretty and the smell is out of this world… Chanel # 5 would be jealous… for all those folks who think that temperate trees/fruit do not grow in the tropics think again.. they adapt and bring something new to your garden…
Maureen
it is a beautiful day out and we are going out to meet up with some people (perhaps) later. Hopefully will take a walk and enjoy the day.
Rosie
Day is going good. It really feels like fall today! Cool and breezy. Two fall candles just arrived today from Yankee Candle. Looking forward to trying them!
mami2jcn
I didn’t sleep well at all last night and I’m stressed out today. I really hope I sleep better tonight.
Kate Sarsfield
Laundry, vacuuming, weekly shop, pharmacy then a bit of gardening before Strictly Come Dancing kicks off tonight on BBC! Sure sign that Autumn is here.
shelly peterson
I went to dialysis and then spent some time with my daughter.
Crystal K
Relaxed day at home with the kiddos – just some laundry and dog-walking!
Sarah L
Good swim then a stop at the grocery. How come we always have to have groceries?
Kate Sarsfield
Stay safe if Dorian’s heading your way. As for life here, well it just plods along, at least the weather’s picked up though.
mami2jcn
I’m happy that we didn’t lose power with Hurricane Dorian. I think it’s past us now.
Rosie
Getting ready to hurry to town to do a few errands before we start getting rain and then winds the bands from Dorian. My pillows arrived from Target yesterday, they had a sale, and I got a really good deal. Tried them out last night and so nice! Yea!
Michele Soyer
Beautiful sunny day so off I go.. raking up leaves and debris then off to do some seed starting….
Sue E
I feel angry and upset ?
The dang Chicago Bears ? sucked!
They lost to Green Bay!!
They not only lost, but they looked like amateurs!
Crystal K
Made a new recipe! Sticky sesame ginger cauliflower. So good!
shelly peterson
I didnt do much today. I did go to dinner with my kids.
Sarah L
Got a haircut today. About the only thing accomplished.
Tamra Phelps
I think I’m about ready to get back to physical therapy. A lot of the extra fluid has come off and I can lift my right leg finally, lol. My advice, avoid water pills at all cost! They are the pits.
Rosie
Just got back from groceries and putting things away. Nice day out today. I drank half of a half-gallon container of orange juice while I was waiting for my ride home. I wonder if it was from being sick, that I couldn’t eat or drink much, but feeling better finally!
Michele Soyer
Just came back from a morning in the village going from shoppe to shoppe.. got everything on my lists and now to put it all away and have a bit of lunch….

Hurricane Dorian is coming today so I’m concerned about losing power and damaging winds. I hope it passes quickly.
Kate Sarsfield
At last we have a bit of nice weather so I’m heading outside. That’s the only drawback to being chemical-free: the weeds never stop growing but at least the bees are happy and the chemicals aren’t getting into our water supply!
Michele Soyer
So true Kate
Crystal K
Fell and twisted my ankle last night. Ugh. Spent my day hobbling around. Bummer.
shelly peterson
Today I went to dialysis. I was super tired and came home and took a nap.
Sarah L
Good swim, then stop at library to pick up 2 books I had on hold. That is such a good service: I see a book online that looks interesting, pop over to the library site, put it on hold and then sooner or later I get the book.
Rosie
Day is going good, it is going to start raining and more t-storms soon, so I need to get a chore done outside before it starts!!!
Kate Sarsfield
Idris, the cat has worms. And how do I know this? Because 2 came out of his bottom while we were watching telly last night ON MY BED!!!!!
Tamra Phelps
Uh oh, poor Idris. On top of having to deal with worms, he probably got banished from the bed, lol.
shelly peterson
I spent the day with my Mom.
Crystal K
Fun day – mommy & me swimming with my youngest. She did so well! Proud mama bear moment!
Sarah L
Busy day. Started at the gardens with the monthly SPARK group. Wondered about the gardens then make live flower arrangements. I made one and took it with me to the Infusion Center where I got my Remicade.
Rosie
Still not feeling too good, but managed to get it together to walk to town to do some errands that couldn’t wait. Nice day out today.
Michele Soyer
Tried to get some outside work done today but the rain was pouring….
moved upstairs and decided to take another ” me ” day…. need to finish this great book…
angie lilly
My day is going well! Making my first batch of apple butter for the season!
mami2jcn
My day is going okay. Hurricane Dorian’s path is very uncertain still.
Kate Sarsfield
I’ve just woken up from the most wonderful dream, except I can’t remember what it was about! All I know is that it involved strawberries!
Crystal K
Great day! Went to the Labor Day parade and to the fair. Fun times!
shelly peterson
Today was a typical Monday, I went to dialysis.
Sarah L
Quiet day at home. Was maybe going out but it’s 100 degrees out there.
Rosie
Not feeling too good today, and have a bit of a fever, but managed to eat lunch. Looking online at Dorian, did some washing. Raining out, so staying put.
mami2jcn
My day is going okay although I’m worried about Hurricane Dorian.
Kate Sarsfield
Hope all you in the US had a lovely Labor weekend! Stay away from Dorian, he means business.
Michele Soyer
Having a lovely weekend.. relaxing, reading and doing bits and bobs of things that I have to catch up on….
Piroska
My day went very well. My little grandson came to visit, and we always have a blast.
shelly peterson
I had a good day. I wish I didnt have dialysis tomorrow.
Crystal K
Made some homemade brownies and hung out with the kiddos all day.
Francine Anchondo
It is going well. I went to my friends daughter bday party today she turned 1.
Tamra Phelps
Well, here’s my comment on the current post: The new school year board you made for Alice is seriously cute! I like it!
Tamra Phelps
How did Summer seem to disappear so soon? Oh, I know, there’s technically three weeks left, but when September rolls around, it seems everything turns to pumpkin spice, lol, which I hate!
Sarah L
Good rehearsal for Sage Singers. We are now up to 48 members.
Kim Pincombe-Cole
I’m still recovering from emergency kidney surgery – unfortunately I’m battling a secondary infection now. So bummed to be spending the last hurrah of summer texting in bed!
Rosie
You did get a good deal on those tees! And I never got a cricut, I know I’m missing out, but I don’t think I could get it to sing the way you do, didn’t realize they could make stickers with it, too! ohh! Settling in this late afternoon on Sunday, catching up with my relatives in Dorian’s path. Yikes!
Natalie
I am having a very relaxing Labor Day weekend! I did some shopping today and drew a portrait of a dog.
shelly peterson
I am going to spend the day relaxing and then visit with my sister for a bit why shes in town.
Nancy
My day is going fine so far. We have been enjoying a little cooler weather. We are wondering where Hurricane Dorian will go.
mami2jcn
I’m glad September is here because I like cooler weather, but I’m worried about Hurricane Dorian.
Kate Sarsfield
And, today’s comment is: HOW can I be almost 60? I mean how did this happen? Can you tell it’s getting to me yet?
Kate Sarsfield
Well, September’s here and with it my birthday. This year I turn 60 and I’m not handling this fact very well. How can this all-singing, all-dancing fool be 60 years old?
