Good Morning everyone and Welcome to the start of a new week! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready!

Sounds like you had a stressful day yesterday soot...hope all is well today with the printer and flower pots! I've had issues with squirrels ripping up flowers hanging on my deck in the past too. Connie that is great news on all you raised for Steve. Draclvr how do you keep up with all those spring chores??

Wishing everyone a good start to the week!

Gerry

Good morning everyone.

New day, new week but not much left of March.
Are you ready for the April's fools thingies tomorrow?

Always tricky. I am at least ready for the WADDB. Adding some emergency use knäckebröd in the Break room.

Happy Monday GameBoomers!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Joint meeting at the Eagles tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Monday morning! Back to sweatshirt weather here.

Gerry, I'm still being a total slacker! I will wait until a couple of warmer days to start cleaning up all the perennial beds and fertilizing them. Hubby would normally have a lot of spring onions and radishes planted, but he wasn't able to do it this year because of the knee surgery. I did get my tomato and pepper seeds started yesterday, but it will be mid-may before put those out in the garden.

Connie, that is amazing that you were able to raise such a huge sum for your friend. My little home town did it for my sister's husband when he underwent a stem cell transplant. They had to be away from their home at the hospital in Omaha for 3 months. The money raised let my sister leave work and still pay the mortgage and other bills. Small communities are wonderful.

Good morning everyone.

Finally, a lovely day. I don't how long it will last with out changeable weather, but I'm planning a walk.

My garden looks pretty good right now. The star Magnolia is in bloom and the shrubs are in leaf, giving a good display of reds and greens. The landscaper got most of the weeds out of my gravel parking area, but there's a significant weed factory in there and if it looks like we're having two good days I might get the vinegar out and give it a spray.

Connie, it's so great that your community did that. When John and I had to be in Vancouver for his spinal surgery we were so fortunate to have a friend who was willing to have me and Willow stay with him while John was in the hospital (for three months). Otherwise I honestly don't know what we would have done. Now your friend doesn't have to worry about those practicalities and can focus on the health issues.

Good moanday moaning everyone. Yesterday was not stressful Gerry just busy ... seems like most days are busy ; ) I'm ready for WADDB, knäckebröd and bagels too Fogfighter. Glad you have nice weather for a walk Hagatha...I was able to get a walk in this morning before the rain started. Congrats on getting your tomatos and peppers started Draclvr. Wishing you all a great day.

Good Monday afternoon all. I hope you each enjoy your day. I'm hoping not to hear bad news from my friend who lives in Valparaiso, where there was extremely bad weather yesterday. My brother brought me home something from Culver's today. I haven't looked yet to see what it is. Every Monday for the last two months or so he's been bringing home some sort of fast food. That's it.

Heard from my friend. A lot of downed trees in her area, one right across the street and one that landed on her fence. She sent me 3 different pictures of 3 different trees. She lost power for 6 hours. Other than that, all is good, thankfully! I heard that they had 80 mile per hour winds but haven't seen mention of a tornado. She said it all happened within about 3 minutes but there were no tornado sirens or anything.

Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready!

I have a busy day ahead. My daughter and hubby are coming for a weekend visit...I need to get things ready...my daughter has Celiac disease so I have to get special gluten free food for her...I even have a separate toaster for her to use so there is no cross contamination.

I hope the weather is better for everyone today. Enjoy your day!

Gerry

Good morning everyone.

Emergecy kits of instant coffee and knäckebröd are available in the break room while we wait for the real stuff.
And that's totally true. Just go and check for yourself.

Happy new Tuesday and happy new month GameBoomers!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Lunch and Netflix with a friend today. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good morning Connie Fogfighter Gerry Draclvr and all who follow. Enjoying WADDB knäckebröd and bagels before I'm off to get groceries. We are very familiar with the gluten free environment Gerry...have a fun visit. Have a wonderful day everyone.

Good Tuesday afternoon! Sunny and chilly here and getting ready for more severe storms tomorrow. They will be scattered, so I hope we don't get any of it.

Just got back from a quick grocery run in town. Wish I could go outside and start working, but it's still just too windy and cold! I'm a wuss!

I was just thinking about you and your garden produce, Draclvr

A very, very long time ago, my late Husband and I used to grow quite a nice variety of food stuff - but on a much smaller scale than your epic quantities !!

We did fruit .... such as .... strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, rhubarb, eating apples and cooking apples.

And a few veg .... like .... potatoes, carrots, onions, spring onions and tomatoes.
[A big greenhouse full of tomatoes becaus we both liked them A LOT (and I still do) ]

Can't do any serious gardening nowadays, because of health issues, but I have a gardener to keep all my flowers, bushes and shrubs and trees etc in trim 👍
