  1. I got up this morning and watered roses and walked first.
    My laptop came on like nothing happened. I cleared cookies, etc before I shut it down.
    We did not get any rain after the big predictions. It just went around us.
    I cooked burger and bacon to put in Cowboy Beans for Sunday.
    Have to go clean up a little again at Church. Workers working in bathrooms and making a mess on the floors after I mopped them yesterday.  May do that tomorrow.

  2. Walked first.
    Took friend to Walmart and local grocery.
    Came home and made VA calls for DH.
    Oreo, the big previously abused dog has injured himself and attacked DH twice. Have a vet coming out tomorrow, hopefully to see options. There is no putting him in the car to go anywhere anymore.

  3. I pray that you continue to improve @kappydell!  I'm glad that your Fall garden and animals are all doing well.  I'm guessing that you are working on decoration plans, already!

     

    Already walked.
    Next will walk dogs.
    Make a couple of business calls
    Put away pressure canned jars of food.
    Maybe make those 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies- some for Church potluck on Sunday.

     

    You all have a good day!

  4. I'm sorry Littlesister.  He will stop sinking when he hits bottom.  If it were me, I would wonder if he is using ' going into the service' to get his bills paid--and then not go in or be turned down for some reason.  That's just me and no reflection on you or yours.  I'm a bit paranoid about being taken advantage of.  It's happened to me before.

     

    I walked first.
    Picked up Police report from last week about mailbox and then took friend to local grocery.
    Have laundry going.
    Ordered new shoes for walking.
    Still need to fry up a bunch of onions and bell peppers to freeze and then add to Mongolian Venison that was canned.  As we use it, NOT open the jars and add.
    That's about it!

  5. Today should be much slower and easier than last week.
    First Church.
    Walk dogs.
    Take a meal to a friend.
    Label and put away Mongolian Beef (venison).
    Water roses this evening.

     

    I'm so glad that you have someone to take care of your yard and maybe snow plow, too!  @Jeepers

    I hope you can find the best way forward with your GS @Littlesister.  God bless you!

  6. Busy couple of days.
    Walked first, yesterday and today.
    Yesterday, picked up cat from vet after neutering.
    Walked dogs.
    Cooked venison in instant pot for recipe today.
    Paid bills.

     

    Today, moved lick tubs under shed as I am done gardening this year. Can't afford the water and we are still in drought.
    Did month ending books.
    Took ebay photos for DH.
    He went to visit with brother in the country.
    I am pressure canning Mongolian Beef, but with venison.

     

    Did your GS get into service or do you know yet @Littlesister?

    I'm sorry about your chickens and that you are now sick @Becca_Anne!

    Good deal that work is progressing on your house @Jeepers and that your residence is secured for the next month!

  7. Walked first.
    Walked dogs.
    Washed sheets.
    Packaged up shoes for a return tomorrow.
    Picked up prescriptions at drug store.
    Got bills ready to pay on Friday.
    Pulled venison out of the freezer to make Mongolian Beef (with venison) on Friday.

     

    We are easy pickings with our mailbox as we have no neighbors around.  I will let DH decide what we will do.  He will wait until next time and it is knocked off the post.  It's just how he is.

  8. Walked first, this morning.
    Walked dogs.
    Ran up to local grocery.
    Came home and called dispatch for an officer to report about the mailbox. He came over shortly.
    Finally made the Crockpot bread. It's still in there,
    You all have a good day!

  9. I'm glad you are ok and that you are using your instant pot @Mt_Rider.  I like cooking venison in mine.  It comes out so tender.

     

    Already walked this morning.
    Came back and saw that someone bashed our mailbox again. Third time. We will probably reinforce it this time.
    Have laundry going.
    Will set up DH's pills for the month.
    Not sure about anything else.

     

    We got a small loan for the termite invasion we had earlier this year  $1200 no interest deal.. I pay $200 a month (or more) before the due date. Paid as usual in Sept. and bank shows it was sent Sept 1st and received at company on Sept. 11th. I just received a credit/ refund from the company for full amount back to bank account. Sept. statement from company shows I didn't pay anything. I have all the info in bank statement and will probably just pay them off this month. Will be calling (I'm sure I will be on hold for awhile) this morning. I hate unscrupulous companies!

  10. I got my little front porch decorated for Fall yesterday, except I need 2 pumpkins.
    Walked first this morning.
    Went to Church and started picking up trash out of the parking lot and grounds by myself. A friend showed up and helped. We got it done in an hour. I'm so thankful for my friend!
    Came home and cleaned up brush out of front yard and swept shed out.
    I don't have anything else on my list except to water the roses this evening.
    I'm kind of pooped!

    When we hung up I said, "Love ya" 

    I'm guessing that you didn't say that to the landscape guy!

  11. Yesterday, walked first, then was in town more than half the day with my friend. Dealing with hospital bills and then Aldi.
    Had to order dry dog food for the little girls as TSC hasn't had it for over a month. Got it ship to store so I don't have to pay extra. Then we went to lunch at Arby's. That was good, but not something I can do often.
    Today, walked first, then walked dogs.
    Dealt with more insurance stuff over the phone.
    Next on my list is to decorate my front porch for Fall in the hopes that it will show up! Still hot and no rain, here.
    Still haven't made the crockpot bread, maybe tomorrow!

    Sorry about your son's carpet issues @Jeepers!

    I hope you get to slow down @Becca_Anne.

    And where is Mt Rider?

  12. Fairly frustrating morning, so far. Walked anyway.
    Waiting for a call back from usps. A fellow who placed an order, didn't receive it. He opened a case with usps which has been closed with no record of him receiving the package. The call back is to hopefully find out how the case was resolved. I believe he was reimbursed by usps, but is trying to get money from us through ebay, also. I don't know if they will tell me anything or not and then I need to respond (through ebay) to him. Ultimately, ebay will decide. I am just trying to give them both sides of the story. Sigh
    Going to make a meatloaf for dinner.
    Do medicare paperwork and call it a day!

     

    I hope everyone has a relaxing day!

  13. Was up at 5 this morning. Walked first.
    Walked dogs.
    Made smoothies for 3 days.
    Baked 2 rolls of sugar cookies that I had mixed up and frozen back in January.
    Delivered cookies to a few places and people.
    Went to Post office and local grocery for DH's bananas. My friend was there so gave her a ride home.
    Put the S&S venison and veggie broth PC'd last week away.
    Done for today unless I try a crockpot bread recipe that I printed earlier.

     

    I would definitely change the locks as soon as they are done.  Right then, @Jeepers.  You have too much invested to have anything stolen-like your back pack, etc.

     

    I love Spike!  I used to have dog named Spike the wonder dog.  Maybe Spike the wonder Lizard!  @Annarchy

    Miki, I love for you to put the recipe down there. Let us know how it turns out because I've heard that some canned recipes with a lot of sugar can come out tasting burned? I think I heard it concerning a recipe from the The All New Ball Book Of Canning And Preserving. That might not be the right book. It might have been in the The Amish Canning Cookbook. My books are packed away right now so I'm not sure which. And I think it was chicken they were talking about. Anyway, I'd like your opinion because I'm looking for more one jar type meals.

    I will  post it when I get on my laptop  tomorrow. And photos!

  16. That's a great deal on that tiller, Annarchy!  I'm sure it will be a big help!  And I love Spot!

     

    Nice party last night! The Bloomin' Olive Bread was a hit!


    Walked first this morning.
    Walked dogs.
    Have vegetable broth simmering to pressure can in a few minutes.
    That's it for today.
