Win $50 Your Way Giveaway May 2024
Happy May Giveaway my Little Peanuts. Time for May’s $50 Your Way Giveaway! Yes, it’s the same $50 giveaway that I have hosted every month for years. If you’re new here I hope you will join us often. To my most awesome, amazing followers that have stuck with me for years, THANK YOU! I’m so happy to see you again.
This Part of The Post
The first part of my $50 giveaway post is always a recap of the previous month. So, if this bores you feel free to scroll to the end. The Giveaway Tools widget is below.
I am so happy to have April behind me. My first reason is that on the 30th of May, I get my first cataract removed. Seriously, these things are no joke. I feel like I am looking through a piece of tissue paper. Nothing is in focus. Of course, I have no wrinkles right so there is that. Also no dust! I mean seriously, who doesn’t want a clean home with no dust or dirt or drips off the counter?? (Maybe I should rethink this surgery) I can’t drive at night. I also found out I can’t drive in the SNOW!! I was coming home from an art class in Sandpoint and it was SNOWING. On APRIL 29th! SNOWING. It was hell to drive in. It was scary. I couldn’t focus. I was never so glad to get back on the mountain.
I’m SO HAPPY!
Anyway, 31st, is the first surgery, then the second surgery happens 2 weeks later. It does mean several round trips to Spokane (2 hours away) But, I will be able to have more than 10 words on my computer screen. LOL The Husband says he can read my phone from across the room. GESH!!
These cataracts also mean I haven’t been crafting like last month. I miss my craft time!!
Now, if you’ve been around awhile you know I am fascinated by the surgeries I’ve had. I was able to watch (so upclose that the doctor had to use his finger on my forehead to move me out of his way. BUT it WAS COOL to WATCH!!) both of my carpal tunnel surgeries. I also got to watch (TMI) my colonoscopy. THAT was very interesting as well. SO knowing I can’t watch my cataract surgery I did a YouTube search. IT’s SO COOL!!!!!! So, if you are interested I’m linking to a real cataract surgery. (SEE??? I am nice!!! I didn’t just POOF here it is!)
Trail Cam Pictures
I do have a couple of funny pictures to share from the trail cam though.
For those that follow me on Instagram know that I have quite the entertaining wild turkeys that walk across the craftroom door and glam for the trail cam. (hey! I rhymed!) Now tell me this guy doesn’t know there is a camera right in front of him.
Now for the REAL reason you are here!!
Giveaway Time!
This Giveaway spiel is the exact same as last month, the month before and the month before that! The year before and well, you get the idea. I am truly thankful and feel blessed that you stopped by. A little of the blah blah blah stuff: This giveaway is open worldwide for PayPal, Venmo, and Amazon. Any GC that you think would work worldwide, I’m willing to try. This giveaway is $50 US.
This is a giveaway hosted by me alone.
I NEVER ask for anything except where to send your prize. My email is Connie@peanutbutterandwhine. I have found that saying congratulations in the subject line causes emails to go to spam. So, I will usually say. HEY it’s Connie. Guess WHAT? Or something similar.
I hope you will come back often, stay around for a while, look at more than one page, it really helps me. Of course, any extra clicks on advertisements is always appreciated. Purchasing through my blog does not cost you any additional money!! I do make a small commission which means I can continue to host (OKAY PEOPLE!! How come no one mentioned in the PAST giveaway spiels… it SAID HOSE?!?!?! tsk tsk… little peanuts! TSK TSK!!) the $50 Giveaways.
There are tons Of Ways to Enter The $50 Your Way Giveaway!! Comments!! I LOVE COMMENTS and SHARING!! Hint hint!! You also get extra entries for sharing.
Every once and awhile I may add a new entry so be sure to double-check occasionally. Those entries may pop up at any time during the month. Usually in the form of a comment on a certain post.
GOOD LUCK!!!

School out, May is over………………………..Time is flying by. Quick trip to krogers want to get my 4 times gas points on friday. Had to order lock box keys for my mother she hid it so only she could find it…………… BUT she does not know where she hid it. Only cost $29.50 and I ordered 2 for the next time she hides the key and forgets where LOL
Ed
Had a good day. The weekend is here!
Tamra Phelps
How is it the end of May??? I’m still trying to adjust to the idea that it’s not 2023 anymore, lol.
Carolyn D
I am happy that the weekend is finally here.
Kate Sarsfield
I slept till 4.30pm but do feel better. Lovely sunshine with a cold wind so out I went, cleared a patch of the back garden, dug a 10″ x 14″ deep hole, made some quick-set concrete & fixed the base of my rotary washing/clothes line into it. The hardest part was holding the base for 15 minutes while the concrete set. So that’s another job ticked off the never-ending list. I’ll do some laundry tomorrow to test it out.
Elizabeth
Hoping to flee once the painter leaves later…
Polly Hall
Heading up to the lake house in a few haven’t been there for a month.
Shelly Peterson
Happy Friday and Happy end of May. I am heading to dialysis soon.
heather
I am waking up and sipping my hot tea and listening to the news. Just doing stuff around the house today catching up on laundrty. Hope you have a great Friday and enjoy the last day of May.
Jenn fike
My oldest daughter is coming over today to visit!! I’ve got to do dishes and laundry… again lol and I’ve got some plants I need to get in the ground and others I need to move around to different beds.
Michele Soyer
Last day of may, where did this month go?? Have to call my oldest granddaughter – she is 30 years old today! Wow…
Sarah H.
I like classic novels from the nineteenth century. My favorite books are Jane Eyre and Mansfield Park– I relate strongly to both of their main characters. I also love Sense and Sensibility, especially because of Colonel Brandon. He is really lovely. Mystery novels are another favorite genre of mine– I love “cozies” (such as Poirot) and Sherlock Holmes stories.
Anonymous
I love to read. I just finished Feeling Like Falling. It was good.
Anonymous
Although exhausted, I’m having a great day! We are in Utah at a RV park outside Salt Lake City. This part of tue US is beautiful!
Polly Hall
I helped my friend that just had a hip replacement plant her garden today.
gloria patterson
Have to start my day with last night at 11 PM. Get a call from Medic Alert that her system had gone off and she was NOT taking to them. I pull some clothes over my night gown and take off down the hall. Up in the elevator and down to her apartment (I have my own keys) unlock her door……….. AND SCARED THE HELL OUT OF HER! Who was coming in her apartment. She was sitting in the recliner watching TV. She is a little hard of hearing and had the TV on high. When she realized it was me WHATS WRONG?? Her alarm system is going off and kept saying EMS was on the way! 3 EMS guys showed up and I was trying to talk to the company…………….. LONG story Finally got the system up plugged and turned off.
This morning I called the company and the guy didn’t really believe what I was saying. So he had me plug in and the alert goes and they are calling EMS. We finally got that canceled. He had me put her necklace alert in the freezer and to unplug and turn the system off. They are mailing out a new necklace!
After all of that I have not done much of anything today………….. did have a 2 hour nap.
Kate Sarsfield
You must have scared the bejaysus out of her! Glad it wasn’t anything serious though xxx
Tamra Phelps
Pffftttt. Ugh. It’s a blech kind of day. I woke up too erlt but had to get up because it’s an apartment inspection day. You have to hang around all day on the off chance they might choose to look at your apartment. And they never do, lol. That is the worst thing sbout renting, the way you are always beholden to someone else like that.
Carolyn D
It has been a long day. I plan on working out and watching the hockey game tonight.
Shelly Peterson
Today I got to sleep in, which was really nice.
Kate Sarsfield
Well Michele, I have slept most of last night & today. The glands in my neck are swollen as well. Mother Nature has reverted to November so I don’t feel guilty at all!
heather
I feel like I was hit by a truck this morning. I did way toooo much weedeating in the yard yesterday but it looks good.
Michele Soyer
We were supposed to get a tropical wave overnight – we did get heavy showers but not too bad at all… thank goodness…outside to clean up debris , process some mangoes and cashews then my book!
Sue E
Great beautiful day! I played Family Feud with my grandson on our PS5. Lots of fun 🤩
Carolyn D
I am doing okay. I enjoyed a delicious dinner that I didn’t have to cook! lol
gloria patterson
Well our temps did not get to the 70’s today. Off and ON rain & rain. Have had my windows closed all day. I have done a little and this and that. Worked on the craft stuff, straightened up. Worked on my aero gardens, when the flowers get long I have to go in and cut them……………… I HATE DOING THAT But they always end up looking better after a couple of days.
Polly Hall
We had our log home sprayed for bugs now I have to wash the windows and put back the screens.
Vickie E Gallo
Today is a blah day! Dealing with insurance issues (always fun), but it is a good break to come on here and make my wish list for fun!!
Kate Sarsfield
I’m feeling very tired after the Covid booster & my left arm is really sore. Found today’s stint at the rescue centre tough going. Groomed Roy, the resident collie, again & he licked my nose!
Michele Soyer
Please get some rest Kate….
l p
the day is going well. up early for appointments. now I need to find a card for a colleague who is moving – not that many out there. thanks
Elizabeth
Made myself crazy trying to find a library CD last night (it was an interlibrary loan, so there would have been a huge fine if I lost it)…I’m a zombie today, but relieved I found it!
Shelly Peterson
Today is just a regular day of dialysis.
Elizabeth
Someone’s painting the bathroom later, so I need to get stuff done before then.
Jenn fike
Oh boy. Today is 100% gloomy and cold. It’s not pretending today. Also I’m so tired… wwhhyyyy? Idk
Suzie B
I have the day off work, so I will spend it in the garden! I lucked out with a rare sunny day in a stretch of cold and rainy weather the past week and a halF!
heather
My day is going pretty good so far. Getting ready to do some yard work this morning.
Michele Soyer
The day is grey and and the rain is coming – perfect to process more mangoes and cashews are coming in also… Buckets and buckets from the trees…I eat the cashew apple stem part but the nut is hard to process so I save them and have a woman who processes them for me….then I bottle them…that will be my morning…afternoon time I am guilty of watching an amazing mini series on Catherine the Great from Russian TV on tubi or toobi I don’t really know the spelling….
Kate Sarsfield
Michele, what does the ‘apple’ part of the cashew taste like? What’s it’s texture?
Michele Soyer
It creates an astringent taste and feel in your mouth….some folks put salt on it … it is not for everyone…
Kate Sarsfield
Ooh! Might go well after a shot of tequila!
Sue E
I am one proud grandmother! Another grandchild graduated from high school! 2 grandchildren graduated college and now two grandchildren graduated high school! God is good! Thank you Father God!!
Shelly Peterson
Today has been a really busy long day.
Polly Hall
I’ve been doing so much outdoor work around the house, today I did some house cleaning.
gloria patterson
Trip to walmart picked all the household stuff that I was running out of. Got home just dropped it all in the walk in closet and shut the door……………. not in the mood to put it away.
RAIN RAIN ………. had a little over 2 hour nap
Jenn fike
So, this weather is annoying! It was supposed to rain all day again today, but just like yesterday, it would rain for 2 minutes then get sunny then rain for 2 minutes and get sunny. Anyway, I did a small bit outside but mostly inside and visiting with my dad who came to visit.
Tamra Phelps
Had an online appointment with my therpist earlier, then had some antibiotics delivered from the pharmacy. I think I need to decide what groceries to get this weekend because I have been lazy for weeks now, eating frozen dinners, fed up with cooking because it can be difficult from a wheelchair. But I need to get back to healthier home cooking rather than tossing frozen meals into the microwave.
l p
the day is going well. time to chase the dust bunnies so it’s delayed spring cleaning for today and coming days. thanks
Kate Sarsfield
Had another Covid booster shot this morning, dug the garden for a bit till the inevitable rain started up, prepped a couple of meals, and now have absolutely no plans for the rest of the day!
Elizabeth
I need to plan the rest of my week…
heather
My day is going pretty good so far this morning. I am just waking up and listening to the news.
Michele Soyer
Well after breakfas I have to get out and trim some bushes and clean the drains – Hurricane season is coming! I also have to process more mangoes….
Carolyn D
My day was okay. I enjoyed a delicious dinner tonight.
Ed
Had a good day. Just went to goalkeeper specific training in soccer for my youngest daughter.
ka
I’m having a good day today. I’ve been out on some errands and met friends for coffee. Then we got together and did some planting in the community garden.
gloria patterson
Have done a little big of nothing. Was going to a BBQ but it got canceled. We have had so much rain, thunder and lighting. And they keep talking about flooding.
Elizabeth
Did a lot of baking, and still cleaning up, oof…
Polly Hall
I got one of my flower gardens planted then with it cold and rainy out I read for a few hours.
Molli Lillian Taylor
waiting for my kids to leave with their dad so I can get some work done!
Tamra Phelps
Mother Nature really tore up stumps here yesterday and last night. Tornado watches and straight line winds upended trees and tore off roofs. And of course it stormed like crazy. Skies look much better today, though and the power here stayed on.
Kate Sarsfield
It finally stopped raining so out I went. Four hours digging later, I’m aching but in a good way. Getting another Covid booster tomorrow so boiling kettles for a good all-over scrub!
Shelly Peterson
I feel much better today. I am off to dialysis soon.
Connie: The Head Peanut
I’m glad you are feeling better. AND of course, sending you {{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}
l p
the day is going well. making for yesterday which was busy with appointments. so today’s my favourite day – baking bread. thanks
Connie: The Head Peanut
I do like the baking bread day. I wish I lived next door, first to beg for a warm slice and second just to open a window and smell fresh bread. YUMMMMMMMMMMMM
Jenn fike
Today is supposed to be rain all day here so it feels like a good day for inside work. Gonna do dishes, get laundry put away and try to help the girls organize their rooms.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Same here. Monday is for laundry. OH JOY! We get rain tomorrow. It’s SUPPOSED to hit 70 today here in Idaho, but it’s so dark outside I will believe it when I see (I mean feel it).
heather
Happy Memorial Day! Think we are having steak and corn on the cob today and potato salad. Hope you have a nice day. God Bless our troops.
Connie: The Head Peanut
A good old fashion BBQ sounds delicious. Your dinner is my ALL TIME FAVORITE dinner. YUM
Anonymous
I believe the computer problem has been sorted so fingers crossed…Mango season is in full swing here so everyday we bring up buckets some to enjoy and the rest I freeze – this WILL be my last season here by the grace….giving Miss Delilah a bath today then back to my studies….
Michele Soyer
Anony is me. lol
Connie: The Head Peanut
ROFLMAO! Gotcha
Connie: The Head Peanut
Michele, do you dry your mangos too? I think I could live on those. NOW I’m hungry!
Michele Soyer
No, I gave away my dehyrator when I thought we were going – so all I do is eat and freeze!
Kate Sarsfield
Buckets of mangoes! That’d cost a bloody fortune here!
Michele Soyer
Kate that is why we are enjoying them to the fullest! and please please take a break from all the hard work!
Suzie B
I like to read fiction, I really enjoyed a book called The Break by Katherena Vermette; it’s meant to take place in the city I live and really brings to light a truth in how many of the indiginious people here are living/going through. Its pretty powerful!
Connie: The Head Peanut
Suzie, I’ll add that to my list. I have a feeling this is another book that will make me sad.
Rose
Hah hah. I haven’t been reading books, but I do read quite a bit. When I do read books, I only like non-fiction biographies and some memoirs. I like ones about days of yore, princesses and queens, interesting people. An interesting one is “Born On A Blue Day: Inside the Extraordinary Mind of an Autistic Savant.” He wrote about his unusual skills and what it is like for him.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Rose, that sounds like a great book. I have a new neighbor and their daughter is Autistic. I KNOW NOTHING about autism. I need to learn.
Rose
It was a good day. Nothing special for activities, but it was a crystal clear sky, bright blue and sunny. I hope you will be back to normal soon after the surgery and be able to see better than ever!
Connie: The Head Peanut
THANK YOU ROSE!!! If you could see the size of my computer screen it would make you laugh. My cursor is huge! LOL 4 more sleeps! SO EXCITED!
gloria patterson
Been there done that Connie!!!! After the first eye I looked at my laptop and WOW it was so large…….
Tamra Phelps
It absolutely poured rain today. I mean buckets of rain. I am so tired of rain, y’all.
Connie: The Head Peanut
We are actually warm outside today. Cloudy as all get out but warm. TOMORROW, though heavy rain, winds, thunder and lightning. Oh goodie.
Polly Hall
It was a great day to get my vegetable plants in the garden, cooler and overcast.
Connie: The Head Peanut
I need to get mine in the ground too. Another thing on the to-do list. Polly, do you fence in the vegetable garden?
l p
the day is going well. it’s one of those days where Mother Nature is thowing practically her entire repertoire, one at a time, at us. managed to avoid the preciptation so far. thanks
Connie: The Head Peanut
Mother Nature really has been in a MOOD this year hasn’t she??
Shelly Peterson
I’m just taking it easy today. I don;t feel very good.
Jenn fike
Well, today I finished another small flower bed and started on a different one in the back. Kids are going to shower and tomorrow will be an indoor day because it’s supposed to storm all day.
Connie: The Head Peanut
I LOVE a flower garden. What are you growing?
gloria patterson
Up early was the first person in the laundry room……… washed – dried and put away…. DONE
It poured rain, lightning and thunder most of the night. Today warm rain off and on
Started a new book………… so good
Connie: The Head Peanut
GLORIA! You can NOT start a new book, claim its SO GOOD and NOT tell us the name!! It’s like you’re new here. LOL
I am on load 2 of 3. Then laundry will be done here too.
Ed
Having a good day. Looking forward to coaching soccer tonight!
Carolyn Dale
I am doing well today. I am getting ready to watch the hockey game
Rose A Sofranko
It’s a gorgeous day here in WNY so my day is going well. I’m watching a live “Eagle Cam” waiting for the juveniles to fledge/leave the nest soon. God bless!
Janet Jefferson
I’m having a good day, thank you for asking and how are you, good I hope.
Connie: The Head Peanut
I love watching the Eagle and Owl cams. I saw that they sell a bird feeder with a camera in it so you can see who is stopping by. It’s a little pricey so I may need to put it on my endless list of wants and needs. LOL
Kate Sarsfield
A day of non-stop rain. What we call a ‘soft’ day. That light drizzly rain that soaks you through & brings the biting insects out in force so stuck indoors, looking out at my garden, making a couple of sketches of ideas. I had planned a rainbow-type planting scheme, with the colours blending into each other, but now I’m thinking a general hotch-potch of colours might be nicer! Oh, and eating chocolate.
gloria patterson
Kate I hate to tell you what you plan for your color scheme this year……………..
WILL NOT BE WHAT YOU GET NEXT YEAR!
Flowers have there own way of starting here and ending up there with different colors each year.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Same here!! The dear eat, then they scatter the colors everywhere. LOL I never know what is coming up.
gloria patterson
FORGOT …………. what flowers are you planting??????????????
Kate Sarsfield
Sowing a BIG box of wild meadow flowers this year, then in the Autumn I’ll plant about 60 plants I have growing in pots. White, yellow, orange, red, pink/purple, blue …
gloria patterson
Kate you need to have your farmer friend take some pictures of your yard/flower beds………… SO MUCH WORK WE WANT TO SEE
Connie: The Head Peanut
AH MAN!! Chocolate and flower planning. Sounds fabulous.
Elizabeth
Gotta get to the grocery stores before the beach traffic kicks in…
heather
I just did not want to get out of bed this morning was having some good dreams. I am having a quiet Sunday hope you have a great one too. Thinking of making a big breakfast this morning.
Michele Soyer
Computer crashed yesterday – this is the one my daughter uses for work so imperative she get it back up – going between the laptop and the tabet to keep things moving….I have a sneaky feeling we will have to buy a new IMac…oh well when it rains it pours! Time to put Sunday lunch in the oven and make some breakfast – a Sunday of my book some lovely music and as always a glass of wine…
Connie: The Head Peanut
OH NO!!! Michele, I am so sorry about your computer.
Sue E
I’m tired! I did some cleaning and ordered my new glasses 👓 I can’t wait to get them!!
Connie: The Head Peanut
Wooo hooo SUE!! new glasses always make me happy to. I’m hoping after surgery I won’t need the hundreds of pairs that I already own.
Ed
Very rainy day here but getting a few things done.
gloria patterson
Awake early………… Baked some chicken and potatoes. Got salad stuff so I am set for the rest of the weekend.
A little more painting on my cabinet and that is done. Got a new book. Been a beautiful day out
Polly Hall

Carolyn D
My day is going okay. I got to sleep in late and I am going out in a bit.
Molli Lillian Taylor
always busy, always behind, always hopeful. but never giving up!
Kate Sarsfield
I managed to get a couple of hours digging my new bed in the front garden before the heavens opened. It’s due to rain till Monday afternoon 🙁 Lying in bed now, listening to Brooklyn (the book, not the film). I worked in Enniscorthy, where it’s set, for 10 years and know the area well. So, feeling nostalgic & watching the rain …
Michele Soyer
Kate I just finished Book 2 in the series and it was wonderful….Love the character…
Kate Sarsfield
Can always rely on Colm Tóibín!
Elizabeth
I spilled chocolate on the carpet this morning, removing it’s been an adventure!
Connie: The Head Peanut
Oh NO! Elizabeth, I hope the chocolate came out. YIKES.
heather
Happy Saturday hope you have a great holiday weekend. I am sticking close to home and doing a lot of weedeating in the yard and then some more weedeating.
Tamra Phelps
I’ve been lazy today. I mean, I napped for a few hours, too, lol. So, it’s after 10 p.m. and I’m just now doing this.
Sue E can
When I shop online, I always over order! I forgot that my daughter and kids have something else to do today during the time my order was being dropped off!
I had to bring in the groceries and put them away.
I strained the old back. So I had to take it easy the rest of the day!
Polly Hall
I got all of my planters on the front porch planted today.
Kate Sarsfield
I have officially lost the bloody plot! This morning was woken at 5 as usual but instead of going back to bed I started vacuuming! Did most of the house, prepped 2 meals, cleaned the bathroom & hung out washing. And all before 7am.
gloria patterson
Quick trip to Krogers, on fridays you get bonus fuel points. Saved a $1.00 per gal last fill up. Its a beautiful day out 80’s and has rained a little off and on all day. No nap today ……………. strange for me LOL
Kath
It’s Friday so I’m meeting some friends for dinner at a local restaurant. It’s the first time they will have been there so I hope they enjoy it as much as I do. Enjoy your week-end.
Shelly Peterson
Happy Friday! I am ready for the weekend.
Elizabeth
I need to run some errands out of town (didn’t make it there the other day)…
heather
My day is off to one jacked up start so far today. I went to take some medication this morning that is always on my night stand and it is not there my cat was playing with something last night and now I know what it was. I have looked everywhere for two hours and I cannot find it anywhere waiting for the pharmacy to open wait til they hear this one.
l p
the day is going well. the construction people are very busy today – they’ve completed 4 floors of the 8-storey low-rise. today my ‘construction’ is to find the desk under all the papers and stuff. thanks
Michele Soyer
Due to the fact I did nothng but dance around the house yesterday, today I have to get out there and weed – also do some transplants..thought I would be gone by now but oh well moving on to keep me busy and not get down..Memorial day Weekend in the states so I will also have a BBQ this weekend….
Ed
Feeling exhausted. Had a somewhat stressful conversation this morning.
Polly Hall
Spent the afternoon playing cards outside on this beautyful sunny day with my girl friend that had a hip replacement and was going stir crazy.
gloria patterson
Finished painting my cabinet, moved it back in place and filled it back up. Great niece grandmother had surgery last friday. And she has someone staying with her just about 24 / 7. If you are used to living a lone it is a big adustment to have somebody around every second. Today I knew there was no one there so up to her apartment I go. We laughed and talked for about 2 hours and 3 people called to check on her during that time. Her sister & brother in law had a island vacation (non-refundable) scheduled to leave Saturday morning. She has called and checked on her so much.
Shannon Mitchell
The last book I finished was King of Late Night by Greg Gutfeld. The book I’m currently reading is an older book by Max Lucado, The Great House of God.
Carolyn D
I am tired and sore today. I look forward to an upcoming three day weekend.
Shelly Peterson
Today I went and got a facial from my daughter.
Tamra Phelps
I have the yawns today. Maybe it’s because it’s a rainy day.
Elizabeth
Off to a dental cleaning and checkup later, whoo…
Kate Sarsfield
I’ve been very lazy all day! I’m too dang (as Tamra would say) cold to do anything. It’s 10 degrees less than last week & I’m back in my fleece & gloves. Maybe tomorrow I’ll potter about, maybe not!
Tamra Phelps
I’m too dang cold all the time, lol. My immune system is crap. I keep a spaceheater in the living room!
l p
the day is going well. up early to run a bunch of errands and got 4/5 done. it’s going to rain soon – hopefully hard enough to remove the bird excrement around on the sidewalks. thanks
Jenn fike
TODAY, is Bill pay day. Woke up at 4:30 am to the dog doing her peepee dance. It was so sweaty in the house because we had to shut the windows. It was supposed to storm all night… it did not. So I snuck around quietly opening all the windows. Tried going back to sleep but that wasn’t happening so I came downstairs to do the bills. Got them all paid, checking package tracking (our new weedeater will be here today though the mower hasn’t shipped yet). Caught up on some TV and did some laundry while waiting to wake the kids up for school. Now I’m done with laundry so when the weedeater gets here, I can do that and when the kids get home we can do a quick grocery run.
heather
My day is off to a nice start so far. I am thinking of going to the farmer’s market today but only if it warms up a little it’s frosty here.
Michele Soyer
I planned on weeding today but it is pouring! Oh well too bad, so sad , I will have to bake and read and dance around the house!!!
gloria patterson
Did a little touch up painting on my jewel cabinet. A guy I worked with YEARS ago made it for me and I am in it ever day. Years ago I started collection vintage costume jewelry. Had it in trays and over the years the kids have played with them and there were a major mess. Got them all organized again. When I worked I would always wear some of my vintage pieces.
Polly Hall
Just got back form a 2 week vacation, doing a lot of laundry.
Kate Sarsfield
Just read Connie’s reply re. her rhubarb plants. I was really looking forward to growing it again but I just found out that it’s bad for gout. I was diagnosed in 2015 after Dad died & after Mum got her diagnosis & after Tommy the cat died. It had nothing to do with my diet, just ‘one of those things’ and have been on meds daily since. I wonder how much rhubarb is too much rhubarb? It’s one of my favourites and very handy to have in the freezer.
Still pouring down over here, but sure this is Ireland, we’re used to it!
gloria patterson
Interesting…………… check on line and see what they say. I have never had any rhubarb
Maureen
I have a hard time sleeping and have for years so I seem at the moment in need of some sleep but I always put it off until night because I want to get sleep then.
Connie: The Head Peanut
I know I’m behind in comments. These dang cataracts are having me see double now. 8 days away!! Then I will be singing ‘I can see clearly now’ 😂🤣🫠🙃
Kate Sarsfield
“The final countdown”!
gloria patterson
I did the count down to……………loving being able to see clearly
Lisa Mannella
I don’t have cataracts but have noticed how bad my eyesight has gotten. I never had problems with distance but have been noticing while walking my dog how hard it is getting to see who is approaching me. Grant it, I do have progressive glasses at home which I kind of refuse to wear all the time, lol! Anyways, what a drag it is getting old. I think someone said that before 🤣😂
Ed

I made some rhubarb scones for breakfast this morning!
Connie: The Head Peanut
Oh my gosh! Elizabeth, I have 2 huge rhubarb plants. I had never thought of scones. YUM!
Elizabeth
Yeah, rhubarb works great if you cut it in dice and toss the pieces with some sugar for a few minutes first (sometimes it stays too firm and tart if you leave it as is)…
heather
Everyone is sleepy sleepy sleepy here even my cat doesn’t want to get out of bed for her breakfast. It was a lot warmer last night and I think we all got some good sleep. I am taking it easy today and just getting stuff down around the house.
Jenn fike
I took my youngest to the dr yesterday and no covid or flu so just a viral infection which is good, BUT now after several days, I’ve caught it… no fun. The Lawn guys are here today, finally. Now we won’t have the ugliest lab on the street. And I still haven’t done the laundry but perhaps today since I likely won’t be gardening.
Michele Soyer
I had a good shopping morning yesterday – good by the way of all the shoppes were almost empty! LOL when I reached back my neighbour in the far back – borders my land on the south whom I rarely see ( he just plants there) was by my gate – a friend of his is interested in the land, when he realized it also included 2 houses he was even more interested ( rental income) his plan is to sub – divide into lots etc etc etc…so he is coming to have a look later this week – I do not get too excited anymore – so many have come, took a look then decided either too much land, too much house or too much country….if this gentleman really wants to lot out the reality he has to deal with is adding more electric poles, more water lines and a real access road to the back.. if he has the time and money and patience to deal with the red tape it would be a money maker for him….
Tamra Phelps
I wondered a few times if you had considered selling it in lots, but I was sure you had-and I had no idea what hoops needed to be jumped through to do that. Hopefully, if he wants to divide into lots, he has done this before and knows all the ins & outs, and expects them. He might be the one!
Sue E
So far so good 😊 God let me wake up today!
Have a great day everyone 😍
Carolyn D
I have been extra tired lately. It is difficult to find the motivation to get things done around the house after work.
Shelly Peterson
Today I didn’t do much. Pretty much a lazy day.
Catherine Lee
This is awesome! ThankYOU ❤️❤️
l p
the day is going well. it’s pretty chilly, with high humidity, though. moving keeps me warm so there’s lots of dusting, and cleaning going on. thanks
Tamra Phelps
Outside, it’s a nice day: blue skies with white fluffy clouds. Indoors, I’m feeling a little blah. But, it’s not too bad, just a little bit of an upset stomach. So, I’ve been playing online games and reading. I did mix up some brownies.
Ed
Having a good day. Looking forward to coaching soccer tonight.
Kate Sarsfield
Thunder & lightning all night & on and off this morning as well. Just did usual chores till the rain stopped then managed a bit of gardening till it started again.
gloria patterson
Its a beaufiful day almost 80 and nice little breeze blowing in my windows. I have fans going NOT a fan of air conditioning.
Done a little of this and some of that so far today. I think I will do some painting to see how they turn out.
Elizabeth
I need to run errands out of town…
heather
I woke un in the twilight zone this morning! Last night I spilled a coke by my nightstand and I quickly cleaned it up. While I was cleaning, I knocked over my lamp and sumehow messed up my alarm clock setting??? I ended up getting up at 4:00 am instead of 5:00 am. I got on my computer and I couldn’t figure out why my clock on the laptop was off? After a few minutes I figured it out – TWILIGHT ZONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jenn fike
Well, today promises to be interesting. It’s the last week of school and so far my youngest has missed yesterday and today. It looks like I’m going to have to take her to the dr to see if there’s anything they can do to help because she doesn’t want to miss the last 3 days. Also just might try to work outside again though I’m so so sore from all the work I’ve done so far.
Sue E
Not too good. Our large Doberman accidentally stabbed my foot with one of his sharp nails on hie paws 🐾
gloria patterson
Had to run some errands. Stopped at the discount store found 5 top (all designer names) loved the feel of the material and it cost me $20.56
Then on to Lowes I am going through a BOLD Color phase. Got a royal blue and orange red (sample) jars $8.00 each planning on painting a dresser and a jewelry cabinet.
Its a beautiful dau temp now is 83 and breeze coming in my windows
Kate Sarsfield
Drum roll please! Today, I mowed my front lawn!!! It’s taken months to get to this and it’s still very patchy but it’ll come good. Thunder & lightning & torrential rain later on.
gloria patterson
THAT’S WONDERFUL!!!!! YOU worked hard to get to this point
Tamra Phelps
That definitely counts as a big accomplishment!
Kate Sarsfield
Every time I accomplish anything, no matter how small, I say “Well done, Kate” to myself! Great for stopping the blues setting in.
Michele Soyer
Good for you Kate – keep chasing those blues away!!
l p
the day is going well. my favourite day of the week – baking bread and rolls. I also added yeast doughnuts as a gift for a friend. keep your fingers crossed. thanks
Elizabeth
I need to get some birthday gifts ready to mail.
Shelly Peterson
Today is Monday and back to dialysis.
heather
I am playing the waiting game this morning. We are having some trees taken down and they might be here today and then again they might be here tomorrow? I so hate that! I like to know when your going to be here and what time oh and be on time too!
Jenn fike
I did not get laundry done yesterday but I got SO MUCH weeding done. I’ve been trying to get the flower beds in order. We bought this house from an elderly man one year ago yesterday so I’m trying to get everything back in order.
Michele Soyer
Feeling sappy today – 54 years ago today my late husband sat me down in the park across from NYU betweeen classes and told me after 4 months of dating that he loved me…..no flowers no wine just those 3 words…it did change my life …. everyone here have a lovely day as I will….
Kate Sarsfield
Aw, bless xxx
gloria patterson
What a beautiful memory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tamra Phelps
That is a legit love story! I swear, your life could be a movie. After you get to Greece, it will turn into something like EAT PRAY LOVE, or maybe Mamma Mia???
Anne Perry
The packing continues. Uhaul will pick up the U-boxes tomorrow.
KaLei
My day is full of fun things to do. I hope I get everything done on time.
Shelly Peterson
Today was just a day to relax..

Bought some paint a couple of weeks ago and today I started painting a OLD dresser. It is a Royal Blue lately I am in to BOLD colors.
Have not done much at all today
Michele Soyer
Bold colors make me smile – may they make you smile also…..
Kate Sarsfield
I remember going on a school trip & coming home to discover that Mum had painted my lovely dressing table a putrid pink colour! She’d painted the front door red & had some left over so mixed it with some leftover white. I was so cross with her!
Kristi F
Has been a rainy day around here so have just been cooking in the kitchen 🙂
Robin Abrams
My day is going great today. My Children are here and we are having a Taco and movie night. I love spending time with my grown children
Kate Sarsfield
Five hours gardening in glorious sunshine. Nothing beats the feeling of earth between my fingers!
Michele Soyer
Glad you enjoyed your day!
Elizabeth
I’m going to try making some ice cream with hojicha tea later…
l p
the day is going well. the garden is getting lots of much-needed attention today. thanks
Jenn fike
It’s been a strange few days but today is probably a good day to get things back on track. Probably going to do the laundry and head outside and do some more gardening while the days are nice before the rain starts again.
heather
My day is off to a nice start so far it’s gotta be better than yesterday! Things went kind of sideways yesterday and I was in a piss poor mood most of the day because of it. I am going to spoil myself today and have a great Sunday hope you all do too.
Michele Soyer
No one was able to come to tthe property at all these past few days with all the rain…one set plans on rescheduling for this week the others were turned off by the rain – it doesn’t flood here but they were turned off just the same… this is an island.. anyway today I need a “spirit” boost so after utube mass a lovely Sunday lunch with a single malt and my book!
Anne Perry
Today is a good day. No one came to my moving sale yestereday. Someone did buy a dresser off of marketplace.
Maryann D.
My day is good so far. It is early but a nice quiet morning!
Jennifer Wilson
Our rhodedenren is blooming. It’s pretty, but I’m allergic to it, so I just take a couple photos each year. My husband needs to trim it because it’s getting way too big.
Tamra Phelps
I’ve felt so restless today. I need to go somewhere and do something, but I have no idea where or what, lol.
gloria patterson
Wide awake at 5, cleaned up. Walked to the living room and the recliner started to screw at me………………… It was noon when I woke up…Beautiful day windows open and 75
l p
the day is going well. getting ready to go to a concert tomorrow. first time in ages. thanks
Ed
Having a good day. Looking forward to having friends over tonight.
Kate Sarsfield
Slept & slept after yesterday’s physical exertions! Catching up now on chores I should have done yesterday. I have to give the cats their worm tablets today, that should be fun!
Connie: The Head Peanut
Sleep good! Lucky you and the boys. LOL
Elizabeth
Hoping I can fit a quick bakery stop in and still get to Caltrain on time…
Connie: The Head Peanut
I don’t have a fresh bakery near me, well, Walmart and Safeway but those are the kind that you can walk in and just gain 10 pounds as you breathe in. I’m jealous. I hope you made it.
heather
Happy Saturday to you hope you have a great one. I think I am staying pretty close to home today I have been running around all week and I am tired.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Here’s to staying home and enjoying a relaxing weekend. It’s so cold here in Sandpoint. I SWEAR it could have snowed yesterday. I had my electric throw on all day yesterday.
Jennifer Wilson
I think I pretty much have our summer planned out. Because of my uncle and aunt’s health we aren’t going far on any trip this summer, but are going to be doing about one a month a few hours away in different directions. Ohio, New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia. 🙂
Connie: The Head Peanut
WOW that sounds like an awesome way to spend your summer. I have plans to go to Southern California to spend time with my family. I can’t wait.
Carolyn D
I am exhausted and happy that the weekend is finally here.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Hooray for the weekend. I REALLY need garden time but it is so dang cold. It’s MAY! It’s supposed to be NICE outside.
Ed
Having a good day. The long weekend is here!
Connie: The Head Peanut
YEAH for you!!!!! I hope you do something fun.
gloria patterson
I can truely say I have not done much of anything today……………….. the sad part I have not had a nap!
Connie: The Head Peanut
I need a nap and my electric throw. I AM Freezing.
Tamra Phelps
Last Summer was very rainy, and it selm s like tis Spring is the same. If it rains all Summer, too, I’m gonna lose my mind, lol. Why so much rain???
Connie: The Head Peanut
i DON’T think I’m going to get a spring here either. Thunder storms here today. AND SO DANG COLD!! It’s MAY!!! I want sunshine. I want dry warm weather. Yes, still a bottomless pit of wants and needs.
Kate Sarsfield
Lordy, what a day! I found a freezer on FB Marketplace & got it for $65!!! It’s only a year old & in (so far) perfect running order. The owner’s moving house & it’s not needed. Checked Google Maps – just over an hour’s drive away. I got lost 3 times & it ended up taking me 2 hours to get there. Managed to unload it from the car, ‘walked’ the old freezer out round the back of the house & walked the new one in. It’s the first big kitchen appliance I’ve ever bought! Feeling all grown up!!!
Tamra Phelps
Don’t you feel so self-satisfied when you get a good bargain??? An manage to get it in yourself? YAY1!
gloria patterson
What a great find!!!! What are you going to do with old one?
Kate Sarsfield
It’s with the rest of the redundant electrical appliances that were already here, round the back of the house! Next time there’s an organised local council collection my friendly farmer will take them in his trailer.
gloria patterson
Thats great !!!!!!!!!!! At least you will not have to try to take it someplace.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Kate that is AMAZING!!!!! What a price!! WOW The Bargain Hunter Queen.
l p
the day is going…. fighting with the Internet gods today. I shall persevere.
Connie: The Head Peanut
UGH!! I feel your pain. SO FAR the internet gods are with me. Fingers crossed I can get caught up here.
Shelly Peterson

She was sitting outside in the sun with rollers in her hair and big hat. Her aide was with her and she asked(she was leaving for the day) if mom wanted to go back to her apartment. NO I going to sit out for a long time. Talked abit and them came back to my apartment. Have not done much today
Connie: The Head Peanut
ROFLMAO Mom is a hoot. I think NOPE I know I would love her.
Carolyn D

Connie: The Head Peanut
I hope your weekend rejuvenates you.
Kate Sarsfield

heather

Connie: The Head Peanut
Ohhhhhhh I will put it on our list. With all the shows done for the season we need some more things to watch. We are in the last season of MASH. I love it. I’m going to be sad when I get to the last episode.
Elizabeth

Anne Perry
Today is a good day. Gettingready for a moving sale.
Connie: The Head Peanut
I hope the sale was a great one.

Heather Swanson
Feeling good got my new glasses & got my hair cut today.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Hot diggity! NOW that sounds like a great self care day.
Kate Sarsfield
A very busy day as usual at the rescue centre. I felt quite pleased with myself: one of the resident dogs, a collie with a very traumatic past, allowed me to brush him. He runs & hides from most people so I felt honoured.
Tamra Phelps
That always feels good, right? I remember when a stray cat got into our garage and gave birth, then after several weeks, she just didn’t return. Probably she either was killed or went home and was locked up. Anyway, I worked for days to get those kittens to come to me! It felt so good when they all did. (One, the only tiny female, just flounced right up to me the first day, like “Are you going to feed me?’)
Kate Sarsfield
You’re right! It’s a very special feeling!
gloria patterson
Kate that is so special!!! And best of all you were able to give him some special love!
Connie: The Head Peanut
Even the rescue animals know you are a great person. That must have made you feel so good.
Ed
Having a good day. Looking forward to an evening at home
Elizabeth
Getting ready for a quick concert trip tomorrow…
gloria patterson
Nice quiet day, 74 a nice breeze coming in the windows. May even take a nap.
Connie: The Head Peanut

Shelly Peterson
Today is just a normal day of dialysis.
Connie: The Head Peanut

Connie: The Head Peanut
AHHHHHHHH cookies!! That sounds like a great idea. I wonder if I have everything.
heather
I am going to try to turn my day around just spent three hours dealing with a Twitter issue. It is such a pain when you can’t deal with a real human to answer your questions.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Ohhhhhhhhhhh that is so frustrating. My nemisis is GoDaddy. I feel like I’m on the phone with them every day. PLEASE GODADDY don’t make the blog disappear…. I was just letting off steam. LOL
Jenn fike
Today is shaping up to be a busy yet gloomy day. We have to be at my FIL’s memorial service tomorrow so today I must get the house tidied so my cleaners can come in while we’re gone.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Yesterday I actually had a burst of energy and cleaned the kitchen and the family room. I felt so good after.
Michele Soyer
I should go downstairs and dust the apartment but bleh – how dusty could it get in a day? After breakfast and a nice walk with the pooch I have languages to do and after lunch Art History, I am so enjoying these courses!
Connie: The Head Peanut
That is awesome. Give your brain wrinkles. I can’t remember where I heard that but every time you learn something your brain gets a new wrinkle. I should start a course…….. my brain is starting to go smooth! LOL

I have decided that 7 yr old girls are little time bombs…………………… No school today voting, so great niece was spending day with me. Got here with her mother and she would not stay off her mothers lap. Would not talk or anything. Mommy left she turned in to a little chatty cathy. We were on amazon she found some elfs she wanted (ordered) so off we go to walmart. We spend 2 hrs there looking at stuff and in the toy department. And she found a lot of stuff and we bought it. Got in the car was talking about going to McDonalds and getting milkshakes, and she wanted to go in to get them. OK no problem got halfway there and she says…………… I WANT TO GO TO GMOMMY OR GRANDMOTHERS house. First thing out of my mouth OK I will take you there. THEN NO I WILL TAKE YOU HOME TO YOUR DADDY (and she hate to spend the day with him) Just so happens her mother was there she had a cancelation so ran home. Her mother was not happy with her at all. She said she has been acting strange for a while mood swings!!! Mommy text me she wanted mommy to order her food from McDonalds mommy told her NO and to make herself a sandwich. Daddy called and she apologized for her attitude.
So it has been a interesting day!!!!

It hasn’t stopped raining all day. Completely bucketing down. Of course, I had forgotten to properly close the car windows so had to get very wet. Other than that, the cats & I haven’t budged.
Jenn fike
Well today was another ditch day until it started to threaten to rain. My body is tired and sore and I have blisters on my thumbs. Oh, also my FIL passed away at 2 this morning so there’s that too.
heather
I am still waking up and sipping my hot tea. I am planning a trip to the local library this morning before it gets too hot out. They are saying it is going to be 90 degrees here and that is way too hot for me hate it!

I was still awake at 6am worrying about money. My freezer has died & I have zero funds to replace it. Took out my frustration on the weeds.
Tamra Phelps
Been there,done that, for sure. If you need to earn cash quickly around here, you drive to the closest bigger city and Uber for a day, lol. Would that work in Ireland?
Kate Sarsfield
No. Special licence required & only a fixed number. This is to protect the ‘real’ taxi drivers’ livelihood.
Kristi F
My day is going well, just going to do some yard work. At least my knee is feeling better than it has the last two weeks so that’s good!

I am tired and frusturated today. I hope you had a nice day.

I did a lot of yard work yesterday and am feeling the pain today for sure. I am going to try to take it a little easy today. Hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day.
Anne Perry
A bit sad today, I must sell my pigs before the move.
Jennifer Wilson
My husband FINALLY started mowing the grass today. :). About time. It was almost up to my waist. Last year our town threatened to put a lein on the house because the grass was so high (I think that is excessive, but you can’t fight city hall!). So I’m glad he’s got it started.
Ed
Had a great day celebrating some of the moms in my life.
Jenn fike
Happy mothers day!! My mom came by today!

I am one proud grandma!! Two of my grandchildren graduated college! My granddaughter, Ally graduated with an Associate Degree in Arts. My grandson, Jared graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science! They are siblings. I did a “brag” post on my Facebook page about them.
Jennifer Wilson
We went out looking for the northern lights last night, but I had friends in Mobile Alabama post more impressing photos on Facebook than what we saw in West Virginia / Maryland. I don’t like these solar storms. I’ve read a lot of post-apocolyptic fiction (Bobby Akart is a genius with writing) and they often start out with a big solar storm. lol. It’s weird because I’m not much into fiction, but I learned this week that I have aphantasia, and that explains a lot. (I don’t see pictures when people describe something to me.).
Tamra Phelps
No rain today, so that was nice. It was a slow Saturday. Just reading and making some cookies and watching a little TV.

I spent 5 long hours toiling in the garden today. I’m trying to get as much as I can before the weather breaks tomorrow evening. The forecast is for thunder & lightning 🙁 Right now, I’m lying in bed eating some well-deserved chocolate!

I really enjoy reading mysteries!

I was up early to run some errands. It’s already hot out.

Elisabeth Miller
This is an old book, but I just recently read The Outsiders again. Just because it was the very first book I ever truly enjoyed as a teenager.
Elisabeth Miller
My days are never what I plan them to be! I spent today running last-minute errands and then cooking a nice meal for my mom and my son for mother’s day weekend!

The last fiction book I read was Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro.

Had a good day taking my grandmother for her yearly physical and the weather was great!
Kate Sarsfield
Today was beautiful! Temps in the mid 70s on the East Coast, early 70s in the West, where I am. I could feel the heat getting into my bones! More gardening, a little trip into town for cat food and more hand washing. I really miss not having the washing machine up & running.
wendy hutton
My day is going great, beautiful weather here today, downside had an argurment with my neighoburs lol
Elizabeth
Fingers crossed that no one calls, so I can go run errands…

Today is a very gloomy cold rainy day. It’s not great but today will be a good day for cleaning inside.

Oh my goodness, I did it again! I meant to type the word commenting before 6am in my last comment. I can’t get it right today.
heather
My day is going pretty good so far. I commented on one of the posts and made a spelling error. I hate it when you catch the mistake after you have already hit enter. Really I do know how to spell. lol but hey to my credit I was commented before 6:00 am.

What’s the last book you read? I can’t recall the last book I read. It’s been a busy time for my family. Thanks.

Another trip to the “city” of 35k which is an hour from me. Today my husband had an appointment. My uncle’s surgery that was scheduled for tomorrow has been cancelled (or postponed provided he passes a stress test.) So, we won’t have to make the two hour round trip again tomorrow. (To put it in perspective how much we have been on the road this week, we have a Prius, and we have had to fill up the car on Tuesday and again today. I’m looking forward to a day at home and doing stuff around the house tomorrow, and spending some much needed time with my HoneyButter. We did stop in and take a pizza to my aunt in rehab. My uncle never likes to eat out and I had some Papa John’s giftcards. She was really happy about the pizza, and asked for us to bring a guinea pig next time we visited. 🙂 They allow pets to visit, so we can make that happen!
Sue E
I’m feeling proud of myself, because I put together something that I haven’t done in a few years!

I had my cataracts removed a few years ago. I couldn’t believe the difference after the first one was removed. I didn’t realize I was seeing the world in sepia tones. I went from needing glasses to only needing glasses for reading and using the computer. Congrats on your road to better vision.

Another day without rain so spent a couple of hours in the garden & did a mountain of handwashing.
Has anyone else had difficulty sharing FB posts lately? I don’t understand what’s happening but the system has changed. Maybe it’s just me … I don’t know …
Tamra Phelps
Yes, I have, Kate. They must be screwing around with how you can share things. I’ve actually had to download a post and go to Connie’s page and post it myself rather than just share it to her page.

My day went alright. It’s a little stressful as my elderly grandma is in our home receiving medical support multiple times daily. Other than the stress of that, it was a good day. We had a good dinner, watched Survivor and hung out with my niece.

I finally had my filling in today. The top of my front teeth. And they extend to my nose inside my face, so my nose was also numb for hours. Ugh. Then went to visit my aunt. She broke her hip over the weekend. She is now at rehab.

Today seems ti be a fairly basic day. Though I do need to put a letter in my neighbors mailbox. She has a bunch of backdated fan animals; hosts, chickens, turkeys, etc. She Let’s them roam free and are now causing damage to my property so she needs to find a way to keep them in her own yard.

I made a big purchase at Amazon today. And not one that is exactly fun. ha! You need to have your affiliate link a little easier to find, BTW. Amazon is having a promo of spend $100 on pet food and get a $30 credit. So I ordered over $100 of guinea pig food, hay, treats, etc. Sure do love my girls though, and even ordered a treat that is specially formulated to help with joint support. My HoneyButter likes to think she is a baby, but at 5, that’s a bit older, and I wonder if she has a touch of arthritis, most pigs do when they get older. RedBird and Pippi are 3.
Sue E
I’m doing OK today. I thought I would feel worse, because it’s the day after the second anniversary of my husband’s death. God has helped me through it!

A good day. Cinco de Mayo. Selling items on Marketplace.
Michele Soyer
I realized that I have been in a sort of “feeling sorry for myself” phase – hoping to sell and it just isn’t happening – etc.. and because of this I have let my schedule of courses stop. This will not do at all…Soooo to remedy this I have printed out an old school schedule ( yes just like school days) and now I have a plan..
My languages on certain mornings and Art History on the others….As my daughter remminded me “you have paid” for these so get going…Tomorrow i must go to the shoppes but the schedule starts Tuesday….
I have left plenty of cooking and reading time… wish there more hours in a day…

Today my father has been gone for 21 years…. not a day goes by that I don’t think of him – speak of him and I miss him so very much! The times I walked in their house and he told me good paint job Michele ( he liked my makeup) that was his sense of humor…..
Connie: The Head Peanut
Michele, BIG HUG!! I LOVE the paint job remark. That’s funny.
Tamra Phelps
I think I would have liked your father!

I’m feeling a little bloated and yucky vecause of a kidney infection, so I didn’t get out of bed until about noon. The day has been rainy, and I like just laying in bed listening to rain, anyway.

Got up & managed a few chores and went slug hunting today. Didn’t get dressed ‘cos that means having a good top-to-toe wash and that means boiling the kettle and I don’t have the energy or inclination to get naked!
gloria patterson
Now Kate you knew I was going to ask………… WHAT THE HELL IS SLUG HUNTING??????????
“”Didn’t get dressed”” ……… And were you outside naked???????????????????? R O F L M A O
Connie: The Head Peanut
Gloria, leave it to you make me snort laugh. BUt, YEAH! IS KATE naked outside??
Kate Sarsfield
NO! I wasn’t naked! I was in my old nightie & a fleece. Slug hunting is gathering the pesky slugs off my plants and chucking them into the field next door! There are thousands of the buggers and I HATE them.
Michele Soyer
Oh gosh Kate…I so want one day for you to tell us you took the day off – relaxed and just enjoyed yourself….
Connie: The Head Peanut
Now I see why Gloria wanted to know if you were naked. And slug hunt? Is that like a snail hunt? Or a naked slug? Like how big is a slug? We have many questions.
Kate Sarsfield
Don’t you have slugs over there? Like a snail without a shell.
Tamra Phelps
Oh, we have slugs but I’ve never had a problem with them in a garden. Usually, they leave their slimy trails across the porch, lol.

The last book I read or listened to? I am not even sure what the last one I finished was. I think I’m up to 28 this year (although that’s not many for me by this time of year. I spent most of February cross stitching instead of reading.). I think the last one I finished was Sold — a book that has been banned for explicit scenes because a girl is sold to a brothel in India. It was explicit, but it needed to be to convey the story.
Connie: The Head Peanut
I will have to look for Sold. Cross stitching use to be one of my favorite hobbies. I haven’t picked up mind in years. I have the cutest little Christmas one that I should start. (Key word SHOULD! LOL)
Jennifer Wilson
I don’t know how your site got out of my daily must visits, but something reminded me of it, and here I am. I can’t even remember last time I was here. My big news of the year is my guinea pig was a Cadbury bunny finalist (2nd year in a row!) and we visited some TV stations and libraries, and had so much fun even though she didn’t win. If you search YT for KDKA guinea pig, our interview in Pittsburgh comes up.

Well today wasn’t super great but I guess they all can’t be. My middle daughter woke me up last night having wet the bed so I was kind of cranky all day which sticks. Had to do my weekly grocery trip and wasn’t able to do anything outside really because of my sunburn from yesterday.
Connie: The Head Peanut
OUCH and I do not miss those days of midnight bedding changes. I hope your sunburn is much better today.

I read the 3rd book of Dean Koontz’s Odd series really like them but I cannot read all of them at once. So many other good authors to read like Jonathan Kellerman, Jeffery Deaver, Micheal Connelly and Harlan Coban to name just a few.

Its a beautiful day about 84 now, windows open a little breeze coming in. Mom and I had a appointment with the agency (in her apartment) regarding her aide 2 hrs a day, 5 days. She asked a lot of questins and had to adjust a lot of the information. In the end she is suggesting that her aide goes from 2 hrs to 3 hrs a day. So that should change in the next week.
After she left got a few things done then took a nap. Birthday party tomorrow just have to pick up the cakes.
Connie: The Head Peanut
That’s good for Mom. AND you I’m sure. I would love an 80 ANYTHING day. It’s rainy, cold and it MIGHT SNOW TONIGHT!! Yes, May 4th. SNOW!?!? Weirdest winter EVER

the day is going well. spent a lot of time at the bank dealing with family issues but things were finally settled in my favour. yay! thanks
Kate Sarsfield
As we say over here, Connie, you won’t know yourself after the surgery. Be prepared for a bit of a shock though when you do get to see what time has done to your skin! Well worth it though! Mum had both eyes done when she was in her 70s & only wore glasses for close work.
I’ve spent most of the day in bed again but am able to do a bit more every day. I might even get dressed tomorrow!
Tamra Phelps
Good to have goals, lol. Seriously, feel better soon, Kate.
Connie: The Head Peanut
I’m scared. LOL!! It’s gonna be bad. Maybe this week really isn’t the week to cut my hair super short. I HAD THOUGHT I wanted long hair again. All it’s done is made me feel old, frumpy and angry that my hair won’t do that whole Instagram BEAUTIFUL hair. ROFLMAO! I AM SO FUNNY!!!
I’m going to go as short as possible without a crew cut. I think. I’ve changed my mind a zillion times already.

Hello! Cataract surgeries is why I haven’t been around.
I woke up one morning and couldn’t see out of one eye!
My left eye was blurry. I thought I was going blind, because of my age and my Diabetes. Plus I still have crying bouts! I miss my husband!! I had two surgeries.
One for my right eye and then my left- 2 weeks apart!
I had to drown my eyes with 3 different types of drops and wear a protective plastic patch over the eye at night to protect it. I can see better than I did, because I had a lens inserted in each eye so I can see far. Now I need glasses to see near/read. I am so happy about that ! I’m
HAPPY for you too!

My brother found me one of those ‘portable washers’, you can basicall wash a load of about 4 or 5 items. He will set it up for me in the bathroom. He found it on one of those bidding sites, brand new, and he only paid $20!! It goes for about $199 usually. Hopefully it works well. I can’t get to the apartment complex’s laundry, so I rely on his family to take my laundry, or I go to the laundromat. Still, being able to wash things, even a few things, on my own here would be nice.
Tamra Phelps
I’ve been re-reading all the old Jonathan Kellerman novels about Alex Delaware/Milo Sturgis crime solvers, lol. I’ve been reading them since the 80s. There are over 30 at this point. I decided to read them starting with the most recent, which was weird, I guess. But I kind of remember them. Still, I can’t usually remember who did it if it was from 30 years ago, lol. Now I’m on ‘Blood Test’ from 1986. It amazes me how much time they spent trying to find pay phones in these old novels!!
Melanie B
Last book I’ve read was Haven Jacobs Saves the Planet by Barbara Dee; I love reading middle grade books!

So jealous! First it snowed on the 29th then the flowers that had bloomed the deer ate. SOOOO I’m ready for May! THIS time THE MINUTE I see a bloom I’m putting it in a vase inside the house! I WILL enjoy my flowers this year. LOL

A beautiful sunny day here in Barrie, Ontario. A high expected of 19C (that translates to 66F). A nice way to start off the month of May.

We are at 35F here. And the sky is so dark. BUT it’s May. It’s going to be a beautiful month. (That’s my newest chant)
