Ring the Cherry Bell?
Comments (2)Yes, lately there have been some freaky good cherries for sale in NW Oregon. I think they must have come from the east side of the mountains where they would have escaped our wet spring which would have destroyed most sweet cherries. I don't know why they couldn't be Bing. I don't know that there is a bigger, darker, better tasting cherry out there. Although I have heard that Lapins are sometimes called Bing. They do grow quite a few Van cherries on the dryer side of Washington and Oregon....See MoreDoes Frobisher still ring any bells?
Comments (11)Ohgoodgrief. I had an ericafon and it's hard to even consider that being vintage, with its space-age design. I remember when all the phones were owned by the phone company and one simply "leased" them with the line. My mother is still on the ringer system with her old rotary dial phones, instead of the touch tone and this presents a problem sometimes when automated systems don't give an option for holding for an operator. I was thinking the other day about my son who is always on the cutting edge of any new technology. He had one of the first models of car mobile phones available to the general public. It was an enormous unit and his car was promptly broken into and it was history. I suspect communications are the one area I associate with the most change in my lifetime. I remember my aunt's old private number, since I was a child when I had to use it and it wasn't listed. It's etched on my brain like a cattle brand. Her prefix was Gladstone and I still recite the GL and five numbers. Yes, I remember party lines and actually had one for awhile in the mid seventies until a private line became available. Back in Missouri when I was first married, that's all we ever had. ONe had to have a modicum of courtesy to share telephone lines, and more than one person would cry wolf, and say it was an emergency and ask you to clear the line just out of convenience. There was even a warning in the phone book against that....See MoreDo You Wear Your Rings All The Time?
Comments (34)I use to wear them all the time then gained some weight and they were too small.Kept thinking I'd have them sized but put it off because I was trying to lose weight.Put them in my jewelry box.Someone took them and pawned them,along with DH's matching wedding band.I found out where they were and went to get them and they wanted Almost $500. for them! So I put them on lay away and had paid over $350. on them.Went to get them and the pawn shop had changed hands and the new owner had sold them.Made me sick! Not only did I lose the rings but lost what I had already paid on them. So I really don't have a wedding set now.I do have a blue topaz and sterling silver set that looks like an wedding band and engagement ring.I also have a silver band with Dolphins on it that I wear on my left thumb and a silver fillagree dome ring that I wear on my right hand but wear them only when I go out....See MoreSleigh Bells ring, are you listening......
Comments (7)Probably got about 8" of the heavy slushy heart-attack snow. Was looking for someone to come and plow or shovel for me. About 3 this morning I decided I'd go out and see if the snowblower could handle it and maybe I could get it taken care of and I saw it had mostly melted! The ground is so warm (we haven't had really cold weather yet, was 60ð - 70+ð just the past week so it shrunk a lot. Part of the driveway was nearly bare. There was still a packing of 4"-5" on the garbage carts but on the ground, Mother Nature is shoveling. And it's been hanging around the low 30s so it's disappearing fast. Still a white cover on the ground. It does put a person in a nice mood, especially when you can stay home. I put up some Christmas lights yesterday and I'm enjoying them. I set up the little tree about an hour ago. Probably decorate it a bit later tonight. The deer were moving around at a friend's place. I didn't see any around here but it could have been timing. I should check for tracks. The big problem with these slushy snows is power outages. Statewide, 175,000 lost power and there's still about 40,000 without power right now....See More- 9 years ago
