Anybody Heard From ?

14 years ago

Was thinking about a fairly new KT member CountrySunshine .Last I heard she was going with her new Hubby, or soon to be husband, to visit with his family for a few days.

Anxious to hear how their garden is doing. He was planting all kinds of things, not just veggies.

June, CountrySunshine is probably busy watering that garden! She isn't new though. She just doesn't post here as often as she used to. I like reading her posts, too.

Flower Lady, Are You Safe from TS Fay?

Nell ~ Thank you for checking up on me. We are so glad Fay did not turn into a hurricane, and hope she doesn't by the time she hits your area. We had rain off and on since Sunday, but this morning around 1:15 is when the winds really started and we later found out that a tornado touched down west of us. We had quite a few bouts of wind and heavy rain throughout the day as the bands from this storm passed over. Some areas around us didn't get any rain or wind at all. We had enough, as it was a reminder of Frances, Jeanne and Wilma, only on a smaller scale. They were actual hurricanes, bad ones. It's not fun the older we get, thinking about the possibility of hurricanes from the beginning of June until the end of Nov. We've lived here since the late 50's (DH), early 60's (me), and didn't really think about them unless one happened. These days, with all the doppler radar, satellite pics, etc., and the hype of the media and all the could be, might be, scenarios, they make sure you hear it or see it and it gets to you. Anyway, we have pine needles, leaves and other small debris blown around the property. Nothing is down. We didn't lose our power like with the three hurricanes, (13 days with Wilma.) We still have a bit of wind and the occasional bout of rain, but not like we were having. Winds might have gusted to 60 mph. It was scary when the winds and rain were blowing, but here we are. Thankful that it wasn't any worse. Frogs have been happily croaking since yesterday. What water we had standing has been absorbed into the ground. Everything should do well after this good soaking, 5-7 inches of rain. I didn't take in any plants and didn't take down any wind chimes either, all are still where they are supposed to be. We keep checking the hurricane center and accu-weather for updates. We are not watching TV, haven't done so in months and don't care to get back into that. Hope you just get some nice rain from this and no damaging winds. I even saw a little bit of sunshine this afternoon and a tad of blue sky. Tomorrow is another day. This thing could come back around and bite us in the behind, we'll just have to wait and see. It has happened before. A tree trimming service that is hired by FPL, pulled up into our driveway and asked if they could go back into our property to cut down limbs that are up in the power lines, so we had to let them in. They are cutting high, long limbs of a tropical hibiscus tree that reaches 40 ft. from our neighbor's property. It is right close to my potting area and I don't know if they are going to haul the limbs off or what. We may have to go out and deal with all this tomorrow, but I hope not. It isn't our trees, but cut and landing in the back or our property. I was out watching until the skeeters drove me back in. The saga goes on. Hope things go well for you Nell. FlowerLady

Hi all, Had a free minute (don't get them much anymore). I am sooo glad I stumbled onto this thread, it shows me the tenor of everyone's character. You're all great! Mostly I'm glad you solved the Curtis mystery! I had written to him a few months ago, but never got a response and just assumed that he was closing the GW chapter of his life completely (obviously a bad assumption). Teresa, you get a gold star for being so resourceful in tracking him down! I'm glad he's well and hopefully enjoying himself in the bitter cold of the North! PIM

Hi.. thank you Gemini for thinking of me....I drop in now and again.. but my life is going 90 mph.. and I mostly post at TMH and FB anymore....

The lack of rain has stunted much of the corn, but some of it looks like it will make a few ears... and the tomatos are doing pretty good... but Larry wouldn't listen to me and bought some plants that that have played out some time ago... meaning that the plants become inferior over the years...but he is learning... aaand the hired help looking after it.. well can't see all that well, and we ended up losing a bunch of tomato plants to hornworms..
The blueberries are doing well.. and I am hoping to plant maybe another 150 next spring..

We have been to Iowa twice to pick up some of his belongings, and to go to his daughters graduation from college.. and to Missouri a bunch of times... This month we have made two trips to Missouri to the VA hospital to get a cyst checked.. and now they tell us he has to have major surgery in St. Louis since the cyst us growing over his carotid artery... We were in st. Louis this week to see his cardiologist. and got a clean bill of health there.. Yahoooey.. and we went to visit yet another cousin...
While in Fisk, Mo at his place there.. I decided to clean out his kitchen.. (typical batchelor quarters.. ) I spent two days on that.. and ended up bringing home a bunch of boxes full of Revere Wear and restaurant china dishes.. and some utensils... a deep fryer, a forman grill, and I can't even recall everything...I'll say this.. the man should go down in the Guuinness book of world records for stuffing sooon much stuff into his cupboards.. holey moley joe.. arry has given me free reign to do whatever it is I wish to do to his place there... so the wheels are a turning.. lol

While in Fisk this trip, we went yto Dexter to look at some 5th wheel RV's.. and I found one that I loved and surprise surprise.. it isn't the most expensive one.. LOL It was a 38 foot RV.. and he was all set to go get it since I liked it... (crazy man).. but I want to see if I can get one similar slightly used for half of what this one cost new.. and besides.. we have so much to do this year that we don't have time to go anywhere for a month or two at a time.. He wants to go to the keys for a couple of months next winter.. and I love the idea... especially since I love snorkeling... and we can take the pups..

We had planned on getting hitched next Feb. 14th. but I have put it off for a bit longer.. there are a few loose ends I need to get tied up first.. and I need for our pastor to help me with some counseling about his beliefs...

Suffice it to say... I have been busy busy busy and we have been like Willie Nelson... "On the road again ". LOL

Hugs,
Carolyn

What energy??? LOL I am nearly 69 years old and not too much energy left anymore.... especially now that I am experiencing some debilitation back issues.... severe stenosis and a bulging disc.. But I just let the Lord handle it for me and take one day at a time... I see my neurosurgeon on the 14th to see him about my next course of action... but in the meantme I am taking small mini doses of oxycodone...it doesn't remove all the pain, but makes it bearable... and that is all I ask..

I fixed beef enchiladas and spanish rice for dinner tonight.. mostly cuz it is so easy to fix... lazy bones I am.... I am fixin to take a shower and hit those sheets in a few.... after I fixe me a nice Raspberry Margharita... yummm ..... I gots to run to town tomorrow... and run a few errands.... plus we are out of bread, so I will be baking some honey wheat and some sourdough white bread. Larry mentioned raised donuts too.. so reckon I will whip up a batch of those.. Another day of keeping busy... love it.. LOL

Wow, you have been busy! As to the 5th wheel, I don't know how much you have been to campgrounds, especially the older ones, but when we bought our motor home, we went with a 30' on purpose, because a lot of the campgrounds, especially the older ones, have short spaces that won't accomodate the longer rigs. Just something for you to think about. And yes, you can probably get a comparable unit used for half the price.
Keep us posted on everyting, please!

Thaks Tami... size is definitely a consideration... adn I have spent some time looking at "campgrounds" that accomodate 35" footers... or better.... and there are a lot of them out there... a couple in Key West... which would be our first long distance destination... He wants to go and stay a couple months during the winter..
The RV we both like is the Heartland Bighorn.. very pretty..
