FOOD AND FANCIES...AT HOME WITH THE GYPSIES

Woodhull, IL(Zone 5a)

It usually has to get a little darker then that. I have more trouble with them coming on to late than to early. Wish I had never replaced my old timers with the new automatic ones.

I have one remote control one, but then I have to be awake to shut it off.
I had to go out and check my arch so I'll give ya another sneak peak.

DH put the lights on the middle where the bow is I think I need to adjust them. I wondered why my cord didn't reach like it use to he has the lights uneven.

WOW JJ and how much is your electric bill? LOL

Indianapolis, IN(Zone 5b)

JJ, you are right. If you know what you are looking for, you can tell they aren't quite perfect!!! LOL If you hadn't said anything, I wonder if we would have noticed.

Indianapolis, IN(Zone 5b)

Have any of you bought an air mattress? I really need a mattress but I am thinking that I have slept on them before and I was very comfortable. Do you think a cheap $50 would be good???

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

It looks like they drop to the bottom at the center of the bow instead of following the outline and the string ending at the bottom cemter...may be that way to facillitate connection, though.

Trina, you could probably use a night going to be early. I will say goodnight to you now just in case you are heading that way. Have a very restful sleep!!!

See you tomorrow.

Woodhull, IL(Zone 5a)

I really can't say Trina. I've never noticed the electric bill jumping real high.
Now when I used the big bulbs it did and I use to blow things up then. So I went to the mini lights and haven't had a problem..knocking on desk.

Its only a month and my meter gets read on the 13th so it gets broke up into two months on the bill. Which is nice.

Gonna call it a night
Catch you all tomorrow.
Sweet dreams

JJ, sleep well. Night!!

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

We use them for guests and have never gotten any complaints. Have slept on them when visiting and found them comfortable. We have 2 queen size air mattresses. Got them both at Big Lot's and paid about 30 bux each. Both of them have the attached air pumps.

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

Good Night JJ....sweet dreams

Canton,IL &Dent Coun, MO(Zone 5b)

yeah I didn't sleep last night because our lovely new neighbors in the apartment building next door decided to have a party and they all decided to park on the street right in front of the house, where my bedroom windows are, and they ran and giggled and slammed car doors all night long, and dropping beer cans and bottles, and basically being completely obnoxious until 6 this morning!

Canton,IL &Dent Coun, MO(Zone 5b)

Nighters JJ, and Moon and Venice I think I am going to get to bed!

Indianapolis, IN(Zone 5b)

Night! Trina.

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

The pump is a plug in pump with an attached control to make the mattress firmer or softer.

Woodhull, IL(Zone 5a)

Not sure what it is Moon just know it don't look right.
But it is getting old and alot of the little plastic clips that hold the ligts to the wire are broke and have zip ties holding them.

Paid a whopping 8 dollars for that gosh I don't remember how long ago.
There use to be this discount place that was awesome but they closed it. Think it was called Alsto or something.

Venice what kind of air matress. I have one of those select comfort beds.
And I have a queen size raised blow up matress that we bought when the boy left home and took my xtra bed.

We slept on it while we were on vacation, it wasn't bad.

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

You will figure it out in the morning JJ. Have yourself a sweet night.

Woodhull, IL(Zone 5a)

Yea and if I don't won't be the end of the world I guess.

You have a good night also.

Night Venice, Trina

Indianapolis, IN(Zone 5b)

Moon, that sounds like the kind I would like to have, plug-in with choice of firmness. I will have to look around, or call to find one. My mattress is really old. I even have slept on a tiny air mattress that is only as big as the width of your body that you blow up. I thought it was really comfortable and better for my back. I only need a full size one to put on box springs.

Thanks! I appreciate your help!

Indianapolis, IN(Zone 5b)

Moon, I guess we are the only ones left now. I am heading to bed now.

Night! Do have a very sweet sleep!

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

Night Venice...Rest well. Glad you are feeling better.

Leicester, NC(Zone 8a)

Good Morning everyone, by the looks of it I wasn't the only one having trouble loging in this morning. JJ lights are beautiful! Joy so nice having you join us, you are surrounded by all the places I always wanted to visit Ireland,Scotland,Wales,England and France. Love hearing the differences in temonology we have. Any body here??? Hello

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

Good Morning Flowers. It would seem that DG was down for a fair while, but we are all up and playing again...grin

Leicester, NC(Zone 8a)

Morning Moon, good to see ya, thought I had crashed it again lol How ya feeling? Better I hope.

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

Hi, feeling better...have got to see Doc this week...think it is now old fashioned ear infection....must have been listening to something dirty....grin

Indianapolis, IN(Zone 5b)

Hi! Flowers, I have never seen this site down for so long. Guess they were taking care of needed repairs. Hope you are fine this morning. I thought the rain would by-pass us but I guess we are to get some tonight and tomorrow. I sure would like a few days of dry weather to do some things outside.

So, do you fix yams or sweet potatoes. I get fresh sweet potatoes, 38 cents a pount this week. I am not sure, but I don't think I have ever had yams, 4 times the price as the other.

Do you start fixing things ahead of time for Thanksgiving. With all your guests I would think you would.

See you later!

Leicester, NC(Zone 8a)

Well this is a big week for sure, the cookout will soon begin!!! Today is cleaning day and the rest of week will be company so won't be talking again until maybe Friday if I survive LOL

Indianapolis, IN(Zone 5b)

What are you cooking out? Hope you have a great week!

Leicester, NC(Zone 8a)

Hey Venice, was admireing the beautiful blooms on that Hibiscus. You have started a nice collection of plants and you take good care of them. No I don't like to prepare too soon so start cooking the evening before up into the night. I use the can yams for sweet potatoe casserole that son has to have every year. They all have their own dish they want mom to fix. One is cherry yum yum, and the other is moms potatoe salad. The sol has added the 7 layer salad that is now a tradition.

Leicester, NC(Zone 8a)

Well you get well Moon can't have our insightful one sick. LOL you are funny, know what ya mean.

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

Good Morning Venice. Actually this will be a yard work week for me. DHJim goes to work tonight and works everynight through Thursday AM. Not much can be done inside while he is sleeping...grin We will probably do Thanksgiving over the weekend.

Leicester, NC(Zone 8a)

Well that stinks moon, just hop on that broom and come on over we'll have plenty I'm sure and you will enjoy all the little faces smileing up at you.

Leicester, NC(Zone 8a)

Venice will ;you be cooking or visiting?

Jesup, GA
