Welcome to the Kitchen Table. I am from SD and am recently retired. If you ever get up this way let me know. I am married and have a DS and DD. I have 3 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. I like to read and I weave rugs. I have 3 sisters and 5 brothers. One of my sisters passed away when she was 40. I was a cook for over 40 years. Not all of the forums here are as active as this one. If you know how to post pictures we really like to look at them

Welcome from New Mexico! Pictures and pie, yep!

Welcome. And if you like trivia, we have coney dogs as prizes. Look at all the things that are posted and you'll quickly feel comfortable.

A colonoscopy that is dreaded? The procedure is not bad, they give some good meds now; it is the prep for the procedure that can be a trial.

Thanks for the howdy dos. I can't take picture with my flip phone, but hubs promised me a new smartphone soon. I take some pictures with a digital, but not sure how to do all that needs doing to put them here. I'm having a time learning to use this laptop. I hate change !!! One step at a time. lol I would love to share some of my pictures. I am not all that good at it, but I take tons of pics and then end up deleting most of them because they are out of focus or just ugly.

Jim, he's drinking that golytly gunk as we speak. YUK That's the dreaded part.

Hi, Poppy. Welcome to the KT! You can hang with us while your DH gulps and...goes. Been there, done that...many times. Hope your DH's test is 'just 'cause', with no problems.

I'm from just north of Chicago, and will be back there from Maui soon. I think the weather is waiting for DH and me to return to dump snow, since there has only been one short storm since December. Y'know...why 'go away'? LOL

Welcome from Colorado! Howdy!

Hi, Poppy! Welcome to the KT. It's a great site, active, with lots of discussion going on, so it's easy to chime in on different topics. I live in the middle of Canada, about 60 miles from the U.S. border.

Hi Poppy and welcome to the table. I know you will enjoy t here. Kathy G in MI

WiFi bounced me awhile ago, so I went to get a bite to eat. We are in a hotel tonight, so WiFi is better than a lot of campgrounds. He didn't want to do a Prep in the camper. And this is nice anyway for a change.

Chisue, Maui ? WOW, how wonderful !! Hawaii has been on my go to list since I was a kid. Doubt it'll happen though. but it's ok. Lots to see here in the USA mainland. I'm happy with all that I have.

Selling the farm was so hard, but it had to be done. We couldn't take care of it like it needs anymore, so now a lovely young farmer and his bride live there. They are going to cut the hay from our little chunk just for the hay. It's good so we don't need to worry about it growing wild on us.

I just wanted to say, if I don't come in for awhile, it's because I don't have a good WiFi signal. I hate to go to a restaurant and use the computer, as I consider it rude, so when we get a good one at a campground, you will see me here some. Some CG's charge extra, and we don't pay the fee. We just move on to the next place. Some of them limit our WiFi use to a certain amount of time. I usually use a lot of time researching where to go next. Hubs wants to go to the Gulf Coast for a visit. So, if all goes well with his colinoscopy, we'll head that way. Praying my hindquarters off we can get a really great place there without paying through the nose. There's a couple of military bases we will check out since hubs is a veteran. I love shopping at the commisaries.

Hi, Poppy...from the Texas Gulf Coast. I live in a little town about 45 minutes south west of Houston. Near Galveston, as the crow flies but about 45 min to an hour by road. I am 70, married 51 yrs to a commercial shrimper. One daughter, who lives and works in Houston. No grandchildren. I have many interests but most of my free time, this time of year is taking care of baby wildlife. I have possums and squirrels and a pigeon right now. Love horses and work with a group who rescue horses from kill pens....horses going to be sent to slaughter. I have 2 kp horses, plus 3 others.

Enjoy your travels.... I am too tied down with animals to ever go very far.

Welcome from Deep in the Heart of Texas! Glad you are joining us, I hope you enjoy it here. We are a friendly group. Well, for the most part, anyway. (Grin)

Agree, the prep for the colonoscopy is the hard part, the procedure is a breeze. I trust everything will be will be A-OK with your husband.

Going from farming to traveling is a big life style change. Sounds like a lot of fun, and very interesting. Do you have other hobbies, besides gardening and cooking? I used to garden, too, but for the last few years have switched to trying to grow things in pots. Just too old and decrepit for the bending, digging, etc., anymore. Think I will be giving up most of the pot gardening this year, too. Haven't had very good luck with vegies that way. So now I stick more to small hand crafts. I read a lot, too.

Check in with us when you can, we'll be waiting for a good report on your husband's test.

Welcome from Virginia. The colonoscopy procedure shouldn't be uncomfortable, and we all hope the results are good. Traveling around at your whim sounds like a lot of fun/learning. Enjoy while you can.

Welcome from south central PA! I'm Kathy. Happy to meet you. Hope the procedure has good results. Would love to see pics. Would love some chocolate, cake, etc lol. DH and I had a 3 week trip south in our small rv visiting family, staying at lakes, went to Nashville. Enjoy!

Welcome, Poppy. Don't forget to grab your passport and cross the border to Canada when you're travelling around. We have great scenery and great people. I'm on the west coast just north of the border and if you come this way just remember to pack your umbrella! :)

Welcome, Poppy!

Enjoy your travels and pop back in when you can. See what I did there? :-)

Hello, from southern California. Travel and exploring new places is fun, although we have never had the opportunity to make a very extended trip. Hope the tests come back fine.

Waving hello from Northern California!
