Few photo's I took this morning of my garden

sat on the swing at the small pond

goat bear, trippled in size at least since 2 weeks ago

even the secret garden entrances are almost filled in, the other two just starting..pretty soon I can hide and nobody
can find me lol

found an old photo of 2006 when I first hand dug the bigger of the 2 ponds, photo close to the same angle
now that pond is hidden amongs the trees and bushes..

thank Cody, another few weeks and I'll remember why I put so much energy into the gardens..love looking each morning to see what pretties are out.

That young lad Noah didn't come back last night to do more edging..I'll have to remind him that he said he was more dependable this year!

Last night and this morning regardless of the smell I sat and quilted..drats, another 1/2 hour and this quilt could have come off the frame..guess I know what I am doing tonight.

Betty you are very welcome.It is all worth it to what you have done to your gardens,be proud of yourself.I bet it is a lovely site to wake up too and enjoy every thing so beautiful.

Morning all. Sending positive thoughts and prayers to Bill and Jean.

Glorious day yesterday and I got to enjoy most of it. About mid afternoon I got an attack of the dizzies that laid me out. I am thinking maybe my teeth are involved as when I didn't have the spells all winter my teeth were fine. They are not now and I have another infection in 1 of my teeth. That darn radiation sure helped in 1 way but messed up my teeth big time. Supposed to go to Kingston today with Steve but am thinking I will send him with a list instead.

Happy Birthday LK.! Really happy to read you are having a great time. Aw a walk on the beach... how I miss those. I might live on a lake but it is all rock no beach at all.

Mary did those humbugs help your cough? I forgot if they did or not. Enjoy your week without the boss.

Thanks for the explaination Jean. I should of known that as 1 of my great nephews is very active in a club in Toronto. Warren and I often went to see his matches. He like your DGS learned an awful lot about self discipline and controlling a situation.Like his dad and unc Kev has ADHD so this has really helped him. Could you imagine if Warren and I had ever had kids? My goodness look out, firecrackers would probably have a longer attention span.

Bev when is it you go away? My rememberer is not working too well . I swear if I don't write it down I forget but of course when I write it down I often lose the paper.

Off to shower in case I do go into town. Gray and dull here, threatening rain. Oh joy!
Dianne

Dianne...I am laughing...DGS is ADD as am I. A firecracker is a great analogy.... While I was not thrilled at the idea of someone hitting him (grrrr) I am, for his sake thrilled that he found something to help channel all that "confusion/frustration" and offer him some focus.

It is very possible that your dizzies are tied to your teeth. I know it shows up as a symptom in conjunction with ear, sinus and oral infections.

Mary....so glad ya closed the deal with the Farmer's Market....good on you! Just wish witchypoo had a month off...maybe they'd see how happy and productive the office was without her.....

Good Day and good thoughts to you all.

Jean

Hi Jean,i notice my son has had ADHD since he was 3 years old.My son is on a med to help him focus in school.He didn't start taking a med for his until he was 5 years old.I didn't want to believe that he had it,beause i didn't want him on know med for it.Until he went to 1st grade.The first nine weeks he made all F's,because he could not focus.So he got put on med and i put him back in kindergarten year before last and he made all S.This past school year he was in 1st grade.Now he is going to the 2nd grade.He would be going to the 3rd if i didnt put him back in kindergarten the second time.It was best i did that because i didn't want him to suffer and not know anything.

Hey Cody. We had GS tested at the recommendation of his second grade teacher (her son is ADD). We struggled with the idea of meds on a daily basis, but decided to give it a trial period. The difference was like night and day. ADD comes with a ton of frustration....which can lead to anger and acting out....over a period of 3 weeks, we saw a major turn around....not just in school work, but also behavior and attitude. I am proud to say GS graduated cum laude from High School and is enrolled in college....he has learned when he needs meds now and his doctor said that some children seem to out grow ADD or require much less in the way of medication. GS finished his first year of college with a 3.0. i would say the ADD treatment regimen when he was young served him in good stead.

Anxious to hear news re Bill..will call Joyce when I get home!
Not likely will she be home but I can leave a voice mail letting her know we're all here praying.

Thank goodness I decided to take a run to Fabricland and to post office because I had left my sunroof open..just as I got in the car the sky opened..guess I will not be cutting grass tonight

Thats great Jean.I just hope my son will grow out of his ADHD.Some people don't like the ideal of putting a kid on meds for it,but like you said it is a big different in the change.My son is on a kind to where you can skip breaks and summer,but if he doesn't take his pill he is like a baseketball none stop.So as he gets older i just hope he will grow out of it.

Joyce & Bill update

Just spoke with Joyce, she wants to thank all for the prayers being said..knows the Lord heard each and every one of them!

Joyce has been unable to post, no Internet or equipment to post..

Bill just got out of ICU, now on cumadin to help with clots..he also at this time has a large kidney stone which has to be surgically removed.

Said that when the massive dose of heparin (?) was given it could have been fatal, thank the Lord it was not!

Joyce just stepped out for a bite to eat but was on her way back to the hospital where she has been staying since this happened..

Again she thanks each and everyone of you for you concern and prayers..

She will update in more depth when she is able to.

My thoughts and prayers are with both of them.

My prayers continue......

and more prayers for Joyce and Bill....

RE: The ADD.... I was the same Cody. Didn't want DS on meds ...but he was diagnosed and once we put him on meds his grades improved quickly. Usually though the results would wear off. I wonder if his body got "used" to them ? He says he needs the meds now to continue with college but he "forgets" to go to the Dr. to get the prescription (told him I'd pay for it if he would make the appt ).
BUT.. he has the "inattentive" type. I think I probably have the "hyperactive" type ADD. one reason I think being in Sales agrees with me... I'm not tied to focus on one task for long.

Jean does your DGS still take meds? Maybe something I need to pursue with DS. I'm so mad at him right now. Not a big matter... I just don't understand how I can give him ONE thing to do on his day off and he forgets.

Dianne I hate hearing you have the dizzies again.... should you go back and have that checked? Particularly living alone with that... and as much as you push yourself.... It would really upset Diesel if you were to get dizzy and fall and hit your head or something....and I know you wouldn't want Diesel to fret....

Yes those humbugs I do remember helped... I found these "warming" cough drops Halls Mocha.... they work well... but this is day 2 with no coughing fits so hoping I'm back to better.

Barb I hope you feel better....

Betty - what are you up to this weekend? (HUGS)

Mary

My doctor called my "ADD" the wallflower ADD. I was so quiet and shy...I just blended into the walls...zoned out and oblivious to what
was going on...and since not a problem child...overlooked. I have a horrible time concentrating. I didn't know I had it til an adult....and did
take meds. Mary & Cody...it helped me immensely!!! I took it til I started having other health issues that were "messing" with that and having
side effects that were not fun.

If you have something that works for them...stick to it!

Hi Mary and Debbie,my son has been on meds since he was 5 years old and he is 8 years old now.Thats what my son had trouble with,focusing in class.Til this day he can't sit still.He goes from morning to night.I have to make him settle down and rest during the day.Even when he eats he can't sit still long enough to eat.I think the med does get use to their body and it gets to were it doesn't work know more.

Morning all, looks like a sunshine day out there..breezy but not raining so I'm ok with that!

Prayers said for Bill and Joyce...

Mary, heard about the explosion in Baton Rouge, hope it's not close to you and that no one you know was injured..

Wonder how Katir is doing?

Susan, you lurking? Time to come out with a hi so we know you are ok

Debbie, how is Shannon doing, making any headway?

Lindakay I'm envious of your time spent on Padre Island, your get away will soon be over? I so enjoyed my time on Padre and my trip further south to Matamoris ?? Mexico shopping, maybe one year on my annual trip I'll head back that way with the girls

Cody, yikes, I'm much the same, must always be on the go..infact my family last 3 generations are all the same, wouldn't say we are all ADD but some would say 'yes'. Lol

Barb, are you getting that bad weather front in your area? How's the pain today

Marion, hope your visit with your mom is going well

Bev, any more news on where your roadtrip will be
Thank the Lord there are meds to help.

I'm concerned that we haven't heard anything re Deb, wish there was a way of being in contact, now why did we not inquire as to a number so we could check?

Judy need one of your posts..come on girl, you need a break

Know I'm missing a few, not note notional, just trying to set up office for today and am on a mission

As for this weekend, no major plans, just want to puddle around doing nothing but getting lots done, you kow that kind of weekend.

I was up early, got the b/w quilt finished and off the frame, would like to get binding on it so I can had sew from time to time, have another to be put on frame..want to make 2 or 3 more sets of hypertufa mushrooms and few planters, finish using up supplies,grass needs cutting and trimming done, more weeding and that will about fill in today. Lol

Suzanne just called, Paul's off golfing, she and Bryan (her son that started working in Toronto fiice a few months back) will leave at noon so bound to be quiet.

Good Morning.

Yes, Mary. He takes them "as needed". He tailors them to his classes....classes that require his absolute attention to detail (actually the ones that he has a hard time getting into the subject matter). i do think that after a while some of the meds lose their efficacy....I kept a journal when GS was young detailing behavior in class and at home, grades, chores etc. so I had a solid base to discuss with his doctor. By the time GS was 13 or 14, he knew how the meds worked or didn't work and was able to work with his doctor.

I think we changed meds 5 times over the 11 years of school. There are a wide variety of them out there now, and as research gives more answers, the resulting medications get better. many of them now have no amphetamines in them and kids are able to take one a day, or two lower doses than previously. Gs's conundrum came from not wanting to take pills, but feeling so much more connected and happier when he did. While there are many symptomatic similarities, no two people experience ADD/ADHD the same, but the "forgetting" part seems to be fairly common....grin.

When I was in school, ADD was not in the picture....Like Debbie, I was the blend into the background, oblivious kid. It wasn't until Nursing school, that our school physician suggested that I may want to try a med for "confusion".....Ritalin....it came on the scene in the early 60's and by '69 was becoming the treatment of choice. I started it on a Friday....and slept the entire weekend.....a few adjustments and it quieted my mind so I could concentrate.

Betty, the explosion on Thursday was down on my end of the River Road, in Geismar...still about 20 miles further East from Mary and I....we discovered that as the crow flies, Mary and I are only about 5 miles from each other...just takes longer driving. The plant where my DH works is about 4 miles west of where the explosion happened.. It is a constant source of worry to me as his plant manufactures HCN....but the safeguards are many and everyone in the plant is drilled in certain safety procedures. Thankfully, his plant is a big time OSHA star plant....one of the safest along the river.

Wasn't Susan going on another camping trip? Seem to remember her mentioning the 12th...either leaving then or returning then...

Hope everyone is feeling right and spry...keeping you all in my thoughts.

Jean

I can imagine after the last explosion in Texas and being so far reading that it would be a worry when sending Dh off to work.

Jean you totally amaze me in your knowledge and the way you organize yourself in matters..think I should be taking lessons for you.

Yes in my day and that of my boys there were only slow kearners or bad kids..wonder what is causing such an increase in this health issue?

Betty, those bad kids....are todays ADHD kids, they know know what it is. Before they didn't....and just labeled them bad, they weren't they just needed
direction and diagnosis and help.

Thank you Betty, My Mom used to say i was a veritable wealth of "useless information" and "curious as a cat"....I was using Key Words long before the internet....GRIN It is not organization as much as it is learning to cope...those things you pick up out of desperation... as a wife and mother the task of "keeping it all together" can be monumental and I became the Queen of Lists...and even managed to keep track of some of them. LOL

Fortunately, DH was on the plant Safety committee for a number of years, so I knew what was being done to protect the employees. The worry for me was the HCN plant...Hydrogen cyanide....but the safety checks and inspections are done daily and weekly and every employee has the necessary safety gear at hand....so ya just gotta put it to the back of your mind.....another aspect of ADD....letting a thought or idea become paramount in your mind....you can wear yourself out quickly like that...grin

Betty, I do not think that the disorder is more prevalent today. i do think we hear more for a couple reasons...One, better diagnostic tools and two....that ADD/ADHD has become a "fashionable catch all". For some parents, they would rather believe that their child has a medical reason for their behavior...rather than that the problem lies with the parent and their abilities to parent effectively...to say No and mean it, to teach that there are consequences and that each child must learn responsibility for their own actions.... ( I have a few soap boxes....LOL)

You are too cute Jean..I'm a list person as well..Your mom certainly wasn't wrong, you do have more than a wealth of info as does Debbie with her medical knowledge, I'm lucky these days to find words to make a proper sentence, losing it quickly..think one would only have to spend a little time with me to see it!

Debbie, yep, was saying just that, just different 'tag' for kids of today.

i too Jean am a queen of lists, perhaps I'm the Canadian queen while you are the USA Queen lol..
have a list for the week, list for weekend ,list for month and even on my refrigerator list of projects I want done, make that list Jan.1st every year.

Seems I am able to accomplish more than the average individual only because I can stay focused, if it's on paper I know it's something I really want to achieve and therefore I keep at it..not one to leave things for another day..kids think I'm off the wall, always asking if I think I won't be here tomorrow and has to be done right now. Lol

My worse downfall because I assume most do same, not!!

As for lists you should see my I-pad notes, I've christmas list
Travelling packing list
Lists,lists,list

Oh Jean, we could be sisters!

I too write lists, lots of them....and usually find them in the laundry when I wash my jeans!!!

Right now my lists are medications...who gets what when. Between the dog...the cat...the kid...and myself. I am sure I gave the dog the cats medicine
by now! lol

THEN I have piles of papers on my desk. Total chaos...but know where everything is and if someone has touched it...which DH does every time I go out
because he is sure he is missing something important int here. BUT won't do in front of me for fear of loosing his arm! lol

I can vouch for Betty and her lists! lol

Debbie, I'm a thinking Paul knows you all too well and knows he best not touch your things...lol

I thought the list thing was due to age, but perhaps not!!!

went outside to feed the fishies and took a few photo's..
lordy wanted to tell you yesterday I stopped into the pet store downstairs, ahhh could have brought kitties home in a sec, had to slap my hand and say no.

asked the young student working there how I would judge how much food to feed them, I almost laughed out loud, she said 'rule of thumb' looking ever so knowledgeable, 'is feeding them food about the size of their eye' likely she could be right but not sure about you guys but there has to be a better way lol

i've a zillion tadpoles, seems every time I go out to feed there is a frog sitting almost like it's sitting the tadpoles.

just a gorgeous day out there, 3 more hours and I can play outside

photo 1 - quilt I took off the frame this morning..thought I had enough black to do border but don't
photo 2 - peonies trying to bloom, plant must be a tree peony because look at the size of it, almost as tall as the pea tree
photo 3 - froggie on guard (bottom 1/4 page to the right
photo 4 - Roger plant, assume it's in full bloom
photo 5 - not sure what this plant is, pretty and lacy

Hello, Hello!!

Also sending prayers for Bill and my sunshine.

Sorry to up and dissapear, my days have been really busy again, by time i can even think to make a post, I'm just wiped out!!
lol, it must be this getting olderish thing...As of late my day has been starting at 4:45 when the birds start their day. Usually by noon most things are in the works!
Ive been doing lots of phone work with the possible renters, giving directions, answering local questions etc...and so I've added that to my resume...it's fun and i have enjoyed it.
Im back in the dungeon, getting things put away...its just a mess down there, and ive decided to donate most of the clothes and whoever left stuff has a week or its gone.
Ive gone to a temp agency, so far nothing...so keep on looking via computer. In the afternoon, im in the office working on proposals and bills, and i need to re-organize some files.
Ive decided, hands on the hips, I hate working in the office, lol since its in the middle of the house, ick there is no outside light or any nature distractions...Throw in the taxi service, and up and down the stairs with laundry etc, running errands and sharing the vehicle can be rather daunting..I fall fast asleep most nights at 8:30 - 9.
Been to Wisconsin, to the doc, appt went well, talked to just about everyone in the family! I am hoping to see my Brother Johnny next week...for Throttle Fest, should be fun.

Lets see, Breenie turned 20 on the 11th. We went to dinner, which i was so upset with my boy, but we've straightened out his attitude and it all ended well...OMG, they brought a dessert pie...It was Fabulous...chocolate, peanut butter swirl,, still smacking lips..

The gardens are doing well, I am so excited to report, i have a single tomato, both peas and green beans are coming up, as is the radish, onion, carrots and...Bell peppers and ooohh, 3 beautiful rows of lettuce!! And every year, My Carol's Love is just exploding with red roses, this year they are pinned or spotted with white, needless to say it is most exciting, also my 2nd yucca, first time it's ever bloomed, the stalk has grown so tall!! Three oriental Lily, had 4 but one got yanked out, sigh...Had a ton of visitors, one being a rather large raccoon, yikes struts right past the door...Awe of course the lil Chippie who still resides under the deck. LOL, I've witnessed to hummers chase each other over the feeders!! Doves at the water bowl and the other day, A family of baby cardinals caME TO the water dish too...I love how they watch out for each other...There is a deer that every night runs from one end of the block to the other...lol I always tell it to hurry home he's late, omg the other day though he was going to run over a lady, lol she has taken to walking in the street.Ohhh and We have a Robin family in our tree right behind the house, i love to watch them hunt in both the yard and front., Lol i still like to think it's my Tracker's offspring...And of course our villain cats, now when they see me they turn and run away, lol all I have to do is yell get outta here!!
And i've actually taken a couple of days to read...I hope the last of the series is at the library by the time I return the books, I was actually looking for a different series but they were checked out.

So I've seen everyone's beautiful gardens, Wow, gorgeous blooms...
Barbara, Thank you so much for sharing Brandon's video...i just loved watching he and his people win that show!!
Oh goodness, Dianne, sure hope those dizzies don't keep happening! You up for a fire tonight? lol, will have to take a nap so i can stay up.
Linda Kay, hope your day was full of fun, how was birthday Dinner?

Well, i have to get to library and since it's so beautiful going to pull some weeds and plant some pretties i got from RWB swap...
Betty, lovely quilt, see you've been enjoying your new toy! Ackk...haven't done any sewing or actually anything crafty, it seems my creative side is taking a break, kind of frustrating.

Enjoy this glorious day everyone!
PS...going to post a few pics from tabby before i run off to do errands...

That is exactly why i have lists...if i don't it gets forgotten. I had to laugh Debbie...One dog gets 3 pills twice a day, the other gets his meds once a day...GS was on antibiotics and decongestants for 10 days, DH has his regimen of pills and I can't remember to take my vitamins....sheesh. Then all the animals get flea/heartworm/tick meds monthly...and that is a small group compared to what you deal with daily......I think the term "absent minded" was the original ADD diagnosis...GRIN

I am the same with my desk.....I know everything that is on it and where/which stack is what. DH says it is scary, but i can walk in the house and know when something has been moved/rearranged or is missing. He doesn't even bother to look for things anymore...just asks where is....I can tell him where he left things, but not if he has moved them....it is often a source of argument as I seem to see and note everything in a room and he has very narrow tunnel vision....things can be right in front of him and he doesn't notice them...

I too have a tendency to want to get things finished now, Betty....loose ends drive me nuts...but it is often just a short drive...GRIN

Wild rose bush in bloom..
seems purple is all the color I have in the garden right now..

Judy, so nice to see you post..sometimes our creative side does indeed need a break! Is the economy still bad in your region? Let's hope something comes up shortly, know you are anxious (or are you) at getting back in the work force..likely less work when you work than when you stay home.

OH NO, not our Jake, what on earth could he have done to get you upset..lol is it even possible!

Happy Birthday to Breenie, imagine 20, just a young teen when I first visited.

Keep growing those veggies, you will soon have enough for a good old fashion 'stew'

Roger would ask every morning, where's my sock - in bottom drawer I'd say
where are my t-shirts, 2nd drawer I'd answer, where are my undies, top drawer I'd say...now tell me how a man can ask same question for a 1/4 of a centurY??? beyond me

just before the weekend I ask Suzanne, so what is it you want to do this weekend..she'll give me a list of about 10 things, Monday morning I'll say, so what did you do/get done..nothing on herlist at all..no focus and let's everyone else dictate her time..would drive me bonkers

From Jacobs graduation!

The awards he received ay the cerimony

And his Celebration dinner..all 7.5 lbs it was delicious!!

With Grandma...omg she was obnoxious at the graduation, but i held my tongue.
And standing proud and happy with mom and dad!

Oh Judy, big sigh, he's something to be proud of, am sure it's due to the care and love he received from both you and Steve. Got chivers, he's accomplished so much..

yikes, did he eat it all?

I am sure Jake made short work of that 7 1/2 pounds.....still remember Jake and Jordan at the Brew Pub....LOL

Jumanji in front of Carols Love explosion of roses.
At her feet are my Alaskan daisies...these are my 13th generation!
first planted in memory of my Sisters Juliana and Sylvia. Anyway these always bloom in spring and again in the fall and always around the Bears anniversary.
I always.smile and say.hello sister when they bloom.

And then several of my roses...an you see the white trying o come out in each??
Lol the last one was just cool with the bead of water caught in the petal..

Beautiful Judy, Jumanji needs hair though..you do wonders with roses..love the water droplet.

My treasure, Jmamji 2 sits in the back outhouse looking pretty, want to safeguard her..she is noticed by many though..maybe I should set her in the Dg garden??

Lol not sure if you can see them, there are 2 miniature hostas.
These were pretty expensive but i just adore them...got them from Sunshines gathering.
These and mini daisies, which only one of i think 3 survived.

Well here is another list maker chiming in ....... I have a list for my lists. Wow very interesting as I too was one of those blend into the woodwork types too. I never said a word in school because I didn't want to be noticed. Fortunately school came easy to me..... probably too easy which compounded my problems. I hated being cooped up inside, all I want was to be outside and roam around or work on the farm and garden. No meds for me although my mam did haul me off to a psychiatrist before I was 10. He suggested she let me burn off all of my energy. That said I probably would have benefited from some meds. As a behavioural teacher I saw dozens of cases where meds were the only thing that helped but also dozens where the meds made the whole situation worse. I would rather deal and handle an out of control child than a zombie. Part of the problem was often docs back then handed out the Rx but didn't see the child on a regular basis to monitor. Betty I was one of the bad ones.

Handsome fella there Judy. Good looking parents too I must add. Congratulations Jake!! If I have a nap a fire would certainly be in order.I really need one but I just remembered I am out of sage.

Betty the storm came down Swoosh last night, high winds, heavy rain and in an hour it was all over. It was raining so hard I could not see the dock from the house.

Diesel has his legs crossed so I had better get off of here and get him out. BBL
Dianne

Katie hope you are having uneventful travels as my DH used to love to say.

Am hoping that bit of rain yesterday Dianne is the last we shall see this weekend. You a bad one, now why can I not believe that. Lol. I would say I was the entertainer and organizer in class, grades were in low 70's only because I never opened a book. Can remember, grandma had an old wringer washer in the corner near kitchen cupboard, I'd throw my school bag in it, make a sandwich and off I went.the other night when I was telling Noah that study was important as I tried to get him to finish his project I thought to myself, you hypocrite!

Kyle when younger was on redlin re his asperghers syndrome, Melanie and Greg soon took him off of it, zombie like behavior resulting from the meds.

Now I was impressed with the knowledge in meds Noah up the street who has been diagnosed ADD, knowing when he was here edging garden that he wasn't quite right, needed another drug he didn't have.

Giving amphetamines and methylphenidate is a really delicate balance for those with ADD/ADHD...unfortunately the treatment seemed to be rather shotgun....take this amount three times a day and we'll see from there....Rather than start small and add if needed....but of course parents want instant results and doctors want patients and drug companies want the money....

There are a growing number of Non amphetamine/methylphenidate drugs, many that are time released so a single capsule is all that is necessary. We worked the mix with our GS....we told him he must make the decision...either he could do what was required of him at school in matters both learning and behavior, on his own, or he could ask for help and we would work with him. After he was diagnosed. we talked about the prescribed medicine, possible side effects, etc for a couple weeks and then we agreed that he would take the med for a one month period...then we would all sit down and see what needed to change.

It ended with him taking the med during the week and having weekends and holidays and summers off of it...we had Dr visits every 3 months for checkups and GS learned to talk frankly about how the medicine did or did not work....Now, Jordan knows whether he needs to fill his prescription or have me make an appt for him with our family Dr. But, most importantly he has become aware of his abilities and responsibilties concerning his life.

Well...Ive decided not to do the library today...

Thank you for Jacob, Poor kid is trying to find a part time job, not getting hired because he isn't 18, big bummer, oh well enjoy the summer while you can. Going to be 18 in August. he can try again, Wants to get in with this moving company 2 men and a truck.
lol Betty, yes our boy was getting mouthy and really hurt my feelings. So, I said we had to have a talk, we did, of course he didn't get what I was saying and stormed off...But it must have sunk in over night because he is back to his sweet self without the attitude...

Yep Moonie, and Jordan beat him and finished his ribs!! We all enjoyed the crab except for grandma, had a salad and chicken. And Jake who ended up eating the last of his was about to burst, lol

You all are too funny with the lists, While I am not much of a list person, DH and Breenie make a list...I find Steve's everywhere and he ends up calling or txting for whats on his list.
Breenie, remarkably is a great list keeper, and she checks things off as she goes too.
I am the keeper of all things in this house and know exactly how, where and things are and if it's been disturbed in anyway, lol, I guess you could say my Alarms are my lists, I have an alarm set for everything including various times for cooking things. ROFLOL I was well known at work knowing where even the smallest piece of dust was!

Betty, did you ever find the seeds in your lil Jumanji's seed bag?? Those are from my daisies. I keep thinking one day i am going to give my Jumaji some hands....lol but I'd have to have Liz and Kenny come because, he made the forms for the hands!! hahaha, I'll add the project to my mental list, way at the bottom, sigh.

Betty, i finally put my chair on the deck! it's wonderful to sit and watch and listen to the nature of my gardens, Got the sunset to the left of me and the rise to the right!

OMG, So I just know you want to hear my story of the day. ROFLOL, I will try to recreate my craziness...and hahah, really I swear, it was morning so I was totally sober.

That is quite a responsibility for a young child/man but best he understood the pro's and con's and that it was up to him as to how he feels. Young Noah sounds much like your grandson, very conscious of his medical situation and his needs. Congrats to both of them.

3pm, shift is over, having a bite to eat and likely will go cut grass..was out walking the yard a bit ago and kept slapping skitters, think I should spray myself first.

Really needed to go to town but might leave it until morning, if it rains then I'd not have missed time working in the yard.

Yes, did find the seed and planted them..you just reminded me, in 3 swaps I was sent seed, didn't plant because of frost, maybe I will get a head start and plant now, I kow, grass fist then plans seeds and then finish putting quilt on frame.
