Sweet Interruptions: Suite 311

Blanch them and freeze to make salsa with later.

TORRINGTON, AB(Zone 3b)

LMAO Jaye - too bad you didn't have a picture of Kel when he came across the cat's "present". They must sense his indiscretions and your upset with him, so they gave him his small dose of Karma

Maryville, TN(Zone 7a)

Cats just giving him the "gift" they think he deserves.

TORRINGTON, AB(Zone 3b)

LOL yeah

TabacVille, NC(Zone 7a)

Salsa will be the easiest way to preserve those pickings, Cindy!

Yes, Susan and Karen, the cats felt my pain and of course, I treated them to extra cans of food!!

Since you asked LK. I grabbed the camera a while ago, and he fidgeted accusing me of wanting to prove my point and then mock him on FB!
Swore it won't be on FB, but since he already wonders why he has stares.. might as well show him the evidence.
When he saw it, he put on his shirt, grabbed his keys and took off. He'll be back at his usual devil time and I am sure will draw more stares tonight.

Remember sisters and brother, he had this hair cut on Tuesday evening.. notice the lower bangs. Actually if you look closely, there are three tiers.

Laugh.. laugh.. laugh..

Hmmmm and they say women are vain....

(Linda Kay) Amarill, TX(Zone 7a)

Nice haircut. ;)

TORRINGTON, AB(Zone 3b)

lol too funny, Jaye!

(Linda Kay) Amarill, TX(Zone 7a)

Has anyone heard from Kathy?

(Pegi) Norwalk, CA(Zone 10b)

I'm enjoying the "haircut" episodes! Gave me a chuckle for the day. You know the cats are on your side, Jaye. Just way too funny.

Everson, WA(Zone 8a)

Wow I am almost afraid to post here.LOL

Maryville, TN(Zone 7a)

Awww Ernie, we won't pick on you...as long as you are nice. LOLOLOLOL

(Barb) Manchester, NH(Zone 5a)

I could never imagine Ernie even thinking like Kel let alone acting that way. You the man Ernie!!!!! LOL

TORRINGTON, AB(Zone 3b)

Kathy's been posting on FB
Ernie - post away, you're one of the gentlemen of this world, AND you don't do things such as Kel does.

I am feeling more relaxed today - Grace & Robert aren't here (Grace not watching our every move is nice - she's a busy body and to have no door to upstairs and her coming by at least once a day at the back door, caused me stress), Remy is more relaxed around us, and we've gotten 50% of what we need removed from here so less clutter equals less mental clutter.
I think next weekend we may have a Garage Sale to get rid of some stuff, too.
Now that the sink is all installed, and Bob's securing the dishwasher, he'll now re-install the door, cut down one of the cabinets (meant for over a fridge, and is as deep as that, so he's going to cut the back half off), move a shelved unit in the bedroom out to put in our metal rod hanging unit(s), so we have "closet" space".
Yes, today a lot will get done.
He took a lot to storage (both at the trailer and the storage company) and will have to take more today.
aaaaaaaah lessening clutter means less brain clutter!!!!!

TabacVille, NC(Zone 7a)

Ernie, like my sisters say here, YOU THE MAN!!
Yes, you don't do the things Kel do. You PROVIDE, PROTECT and PROFESS sincerely your love for Linda.

I may have chased Sis Kathy off! Maybe she has the feeling that LSU tigets will beat her Bama this year!! Come back sis..we love you.

Susan, me too detest busy bodies. Ida used to keep track of my comings and goings and report who she saw drove up our dirt road, until almost a year ago!
Perhaps they are not being nosy, just making sure their property is okay!

More to laugh at this Sunday.
Last night, he posted a country song by Jason Aldean "When she says Baby". With lyrics emblazoned across the screen. Well.. I commented underneat that Kel doesn't have much hair left for me to run through with my fingers.
He was so upset and threw a fit and cussed and swore until I told him that those words were included in the lyrics, I happened to modify them and told the truth!!
He hung his head and admitted that he wasn't aware of the lyrics.
Telling you all.. he simply posted that on his FB wall, because his friends told him it's the number one hit song!! That's kelvin.. wanting to be popular and garner likes.
Only one comment and like.. that's me.

This morning, he begged me to correct that barber's error.
Clippers in hand, I tidied up the nape, and ooops.. I left an inverted V in the middle!! He doesn't know about it. That's for telling me he had to leave at 1 pm and of course return at 11 pm.
Jesus forgives me, but it feels so goooooood.

From anger, I drew inspiration for another poem. Needs polishing before I set it with a pictoral background.
Give me your feedback sisters and brother. If it seems disjointed, back to the writing board I go.

"Why did this betrayer rage into my life
He left me with a carcass of deceits
I tried to weave my own web of fate
with weak and wasted prayers.

But when I came home to you Lord
pleading the psalmist pleas
You didn't withold your compassion
and delivered me from the carcass."

TabacVille, NC(Zone 7a)

Good morning!!

Poem must be that bad to chase more away!!

Another day without a vehicle. The one time he lets me use the vehicle, I was given only a certain time. Lord knows I hate to be rushed!!!
But the blessing is, he is still having to get groceries.

My back hasn't givien me any pain lately. But my right hip decided to take over!!
Part of declining bones.

You all have a great week sisters and brother Ernie!

(Linda Kay) Amarill, TX(Zone 7a)

Morning everyone.

I love the poem Jaye.

TabacVille, NC(Zone 7a)

Thank you LK. WHat's your plans for the week?

Read Sue's accident on FB. Tom will keep her busy while he's convalescing.

Didn't go to church yesterday. Felt so lost, but I caught up with my Kindle!

(Linda Kay) Amarill, TX(Zone 7a)

Getting the house cleaned, as Todds 2 Sisters will be here Thursday and Friday. One is from Maryland, the other from Florida.

TORRINGTON, AB(Zone 3b)

Sue's accident - Tom's convalescing? What did I miss?

I put the cover on one of our metal wardrobes (for Bob's side of the bed), and will build the other one for my side of the bed :-) I have all the clothes I can now put in a dresser (been living out of bags, mostly). Need to store some winter stuff, like coats, etc. It's all good.
Having space in the place (albeit not much yet) really makes things so much more breathable - I hate a cluttered place & mind!

(Linda Kay) Amarill, TX(Zone 7a)

Go to her facebook page, someone ran a stop sign, and totaled her new car. Tom is OK, just a really bad bruised arm.

TORRINGTON, AB(Zone 3b)

omgoodness....... what a crash! Glad to hear she & Tom walked away.

and did you see her post half hour ago? In Her Hand lol Yup, it's Monday lol

(Cindy) Auburn, CA(Zone 10a)

Hello Friends,

I am back home or I should say at the day care. When I walked in the first one to run to me was JT. My daughter said that he looked all over the house for me Thursday and Friday. My grandson was his "personal assistant all day Thursday, except for changing diapers lol. We have 7 little ones today OH MY what a noisy place we have lol. After 4 days of peace and quite, this is just too much lol.

The fire was at 96% contained then another one started. Come to find out an ex firefighter from Mexico tried starting a back fire to protect his marijuana farm, lol Well he wasn't so smart :)

Our temps have been in the low 90's to high 80's kind of unusual for August. I'm thinking El Nino may be coming sooner than we expect it to. Guess I better get my rear in gear and start getting things ready for winter. Going to invest in some rain barrels that's for sure.

TORRINGTON, AB(Zone 3b)

Welcome back home, Cindy!
I"ll just bet the house was in an uproar, waiting for you to get home!!
........ a back fire to protect his marijuana farm LMAO!!!I can just imagine the inhaling around the area LOL

(Linda Kay) Amarill, TX(Zone 7a)

Cindy, is the daycare business in your home, or a separate building? If in your home, how is your Mom handling the kids?
How is your Mom doing health wise?

TabacVille, NC(Zone 7a)

Good morning sisters.

Welcome home Cindy to your new normal! Better the sound of happy kids than adult quarrels, girl! Good to read that the fires are contained.
You might soon need a couple of happy and safe 'distractions' with that many kids, to keep them occupied.. like a fish tank! Kids can look at them without breaking their concentration!
Oh well sister, sometime you must have asked Lord to help you gain more financially, and this was in His plans. You're the perfect caregiver of all with your patience.

LK, Susan, Barb, Karen, brother Ernie.. I'm in a stump!!
Energy stump! No back aches to hinder me, but I can't move for nought! All I want to do is cry, cry, cry. Got my anti anxiety meds, but found myself without no rhyme nor reason, having wet cheeks!
I am not addicted to FB, but that site is so easy for me to be someone else for a while where most don't know what I am going through and I can act the happy Jaye.

God is with me and I am aware of Him 24/7, in His Word, wait on Him, so why am I like this?
Can't afford a psychotherapist, got you all here. :D

Well that's my dilemna for today.
Wishing all a better day than me.

Maryville, TN(Zone 7a)

There will be days like this Jaye dear. I know you try to stay hopeful but sometimes it will just crash in on you. Go ahead and cry it's the best way to help your self right now.

(Linda Kay) Amarill, TX(Zone 7a)

Jaye, after all you have been through, I would think you need a good cry or two. That is what we are here for. We will keep you in our prayers.

((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))

TORRINGTON, AB(Zone 3b)

(((((((Hugs))))))))) Jaye, my dear sister - I agree with LK - a good cry or two won't hurt. And chatting with us here - well, you know you can be open with us :-D

(Cindy) Auburn, CA(Zone 10a)

Good Morning Friends,
LK the daycare is at my daughter's house. She left her daycare job after 18 yrs, the owner hardly ever gave a her raise, would not interact with the parents when they had questions about their bills, was very rude to all her employees. My cousin Debbie is with my mom all day, while I am at the daycare. An agreement we made in exchange for her living on our property. She takes care of yard work, keeps the garden watered, and drives mom around to do errands. Mom is not any better :( She is in so much pain with her neck that it's causing her to forget things We go next Monday for MRI, CAT scan and some kind of test on her spine. Then back on the 20th for results. She has gotten to the point where she does not even care about bowling anymore, very depressed. It's very hard to keep her happy the pain is that bad.

Oh man Jayegirl, sounds to me like your hormones are out of rack! I have those kind of days often! When I do I go to my room make it all dark light a Lavender candle and put some chicky flicks on and just try to relax.

Today is very quite (for now) with just 3 little girls, but soon will get noisy when our little 3 yr old Adler shows up, let me tell you this little guy is rough and noisy lol

(Linda Kay) Amarill, TX(Zone 7a)

I sure hope you get some answers and relief for your mom.

(Barb) Manchester, NH(Zone 5a)

Sending prayers for your Mom Cindy.

Jaye - no matter how great a relationship is there are times when understanding is lost and tears flow. They are a cleansing thing. They wipe our hearts of all our trials and let us start again. I find you to be the most patient of women and I am so very proud of how you are handling your situation. You are one of the strongest women I know and I am proud to call you friend. Chin up dear heart...............
Love, Barb

(Cindy) Auburn, CA(Zone 10a)

Here is a map showing where the Rocky and Jerusalem Fires have burnt and are still burning. About 90,000 acres thus far. They thought they would have the Rocky fire completely contained by tomorrow but now that's iffy with Jerusalem fire burning.

It's quite here for a little while all little ones are napping (HUGH SIGH) :)

(Linda Kay) Amarill, TX(Zone 7a)

That is a large area.

(Cindy) Auburn, CA(Zone 10a)

yes it is, about 140 square miles

TORRINGTON, AB(Zone 3b)

Jaye - what Barb said, in spades :-)

TabacVille, NC(Zone 7a)

I am so sorry that this hotel has turned to the Jaye's Drama Hotel.
It is not gonna be all about me.. and try as hard as I can do to think of everything else, I hit this dark abyss inside of me that questions God and unfortunately, I expected really quick answers. He told me, all in His time if I wanted perfection.
It is so hard for me to accept the new Kelvin, without my own tearful protests and fervent prayers to the Almighty to make this hurt stop.

Barb, Susan, Karen, LK, Pegi, Brother Ernie, Cindy, I try to be brave, but I don't see myself strong. A strong person would just walk away, start fresh somewhere.
My old friends reminded me the old Jaye would do just that. They see me as this weakling, but that is okay.
I pray to be in His will, and I am not using God as an excuse, but I am so afraid to disobey Him.
I know He is ahead of me, putting in plans that this dilemna will be just a bad memory.

It came crashing down on me a few hours ago, when his mother told me that we should stay apart for he will always lie. And she's a Christian, she shouldn't give up on the Lord.
Yet she conveniently forgot that she waited on Him for Murdock to repent when he cheated and stayed an alcoholic for years.
So foe or friend, or just a mother to Kel? When I asked her whether SHE wanted me to leave, her quick reply was I can stay in this house for as long as I want, it's Kel that should leave.
So, foe or friend? Or is it for her own security that I will be around to take care of her.
Yet, the only one that offered food is still my church sister Carolyn and her son.

I thank all of you for reading, giving me words of encouragement, calls and support.
Joy in the Lord is sufficient, right? I am halfway there with you all propping me up.
Thank you all for your prayers, they are what keep me alive.

(((((((((hugs))))))))))) Jaye. You are a blessed person. I can't think of anything else to say. Love you, my sister.

TabacVille, NC(Zone 7a)

I love you too Susan, so blessed to have you in my life.

Everson, WA(Zone 8a)

Jaye one thing we can never seem to do is just what we should do yet the ironic thing is we never know what we should have done until we do it. Then sometimes we are wrong. Sometimes indecision is the right decision. You can not make someone love you and be nice. A turd is a turd no matter how sugar coated it is. Grand dad used to say can't change the stripes on a skunk. Be brave this to shall pass. Nothing I have said is to be construed as being the least bit demeaning.

I continue to be suffering from stomach problems I drank a quart of cold buttermilk and it was cooling and took away the upset feeling. I had my second day of training on the cycler machine so soon I will shift from the four time a day treatment to all night long. I am so ready. I am taking a manual treatment as I type.

I continue to swim in tomatoes and enjoyed some sweet garden cabbage tonight for supper I had the cabbage with vinegar and butter a dash of salt. Linda is making another batch of plumb jelly. For who not me one jar or two is enough for me she will give it to Krissy for her kids. G MA will do anything for those little tykes.
