A couple of steaks for the Barbeque....fire up the grill
Who knew there were so many "ite" stone types!I am at the cottage in Wilberforce and we visited the Princess Sodalite Mine (Bancroft) rock shop yesterday. Bought Labradorite stones from Madagascar, Apatite from Monmouth and of course, Sodalite from the mine. My parents were rockhounds and us kids took our little rock hammers on rock trips to see if we could find some nice stones (don't remember finding any) but we had a great time tripping through the quarries.
you mean like these ?When at the dollar store last week, I found one box of 17 plastic covers that look like shower caps. 3 sizes. It may have been the last box. Now that I’ve started using them, I realize they’re really handy and better than Saran Wrap.
Same here: practically never get wasps here but this year, there are a lot hanging around my geraniums.Bought something exciting today .. ... Wasp spray! (3 cans)
For 3 years, I have not been bothered by any flying insects up on my 3rd floor patio - nothing. ..didn't think bugs would fly up here ..lol
Now, this week, I am seeing wasps flying into my shade screen every afternoon .. two or three sometimes.
Time to nip it in the bud!
How I wish I had a nephew to buy me a new TV for the guest bedroom. It just doesn't want to work. Happened suddenly on Saturday.Bought a pair of blk sandals online from Kohl's. They have a 1" heel so they'll gv me a little bit of height.
And, my nephew bought me a new TV for my bedroom...a 40" surprise. My old one died at he the 1 yr mark and he didn't want me messing w/the warranty..it was a hassle.
It will be delivered today..YAY.
Love that kid!
You know who gets me stuff? Oldest sons girlfriend, not my two oldest kids who I got stuff for all their lives, or ungrateful granddaughter who I got a lot for, nope; it’s the sons long time girlfriend.It just dawned on me; we don't get much from anyone. I guess we were born to be the givers. I am in tears because I had not realized and/or thought about this til now. I will bug one niece about needing a new TV. lol
We can buy one, I'm just sad that no one gives us anything. One sister and her two daughters are the only ones who will think of us. Sometimes. I hope we will be remembered for all that we did when we are gone.
A co-worker who'd raised 2 sons as a single mother told me that she never got even a birthday or Mothers Day card, let alone a gift, from either of her 2 sons until they got married; so she knew darn well it was her daughters-in-law's doing.You know who gets me stuff?

I agree.
Every now and then you want them to think of you and get you something, anything. Once when I was in the hospital she fluffed my pillow. OMGOSH no one had ever done that for me. It’s so annoying. I’d accept a cookie, a donut, a candy bar just I was thinking of you something. . Sounds childish, doesn’t it?
Still I agree with you.
My son and daughter get me birthday and Christmas, gift card, or I demand to know why they didn’t and I demand those little gift cardsA co-worker who'd raised 2 sons as a single mother told me that she never got even a birthday or Mothers Day card, let alone a gift, from either of her 2 sons until they got married; so she knew darn well it was her daughters-in-law's doing.
Hi....we had a storm a month ago....Forgot to take the umbrella down....The next day it was broke...I bought a replacement umbrella for my patio this year. The intense heat from the sun won't let me keep one for more than one season.
Yes, except they are plain.you mean like these ?
Trust me...this is the first time anyone (except sis) has ever bought me anything! I've given to these kids when they were younger and I had $$$.It just dawned on me; we don't get much from anyone. I guess we were born to be the givers. I am in tears because I had not realized and/or thought about this til now. I will bug one niece about needing a new TV. lol

It's not that I want anything; I've never been one to ask. Reality just sunk in.... finally.
