Hello Everyone, Nothing much going on today except laundry. We have to go out to do our laundry as our house is too small to have a laundry room. This will take our whole afternoon. Gotta run... So, have a lovely day and stay warm.

Well, it seems we have a new member here. Welcome billuthes to the group. There is nothing much planned for today. I should go outside and straighten up the patio. It's gotten a little messy since hubby has made it "his" place. And, our weather is so beautiful it will be nice to be outside. Have a lovely day.

Happy Groundhog Day everyone! If you live in the east I guess you will have 6 more weeks of winter. So happy I live in the southwest...we love our winters...summers not so much. Guess there is always a trade off. Have a lovely day and stay warm.

Hello Everyone. Had a terrible time trying to get online today. Also...we old people still have a landline and it has been messing up too. Maybe they are connected? Whatever is going on...I'm not happy about it. But, I am happy that I can finally get online to say hello. Daughter is coming by in a little while. Looking forward to that. That's about all that's going on today. Have a lovely day and stay warm!

Hello Everyone. Anybody watching the Super Bowl today? We are not. First time in a long time. We don't care for the teams playing and... we don't like the stance of the NFL anymore. We believe in America, standing for the saying the pledge of Allegiance, and for the National Anthem. I have no problem with anyone wanting to protest, (I grew up in the 60's)... just at a different time and place. So, if you are watching I hope your team wins and you have a very good time. Please don't over eat or drink and drive, but enjoy yourselves. Have a lovely day!

Hello everyone. Nothing much going on here except beautiful weather. We are going to be in the high 70's to low 80's for the next week. Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles on their first ever Super Bowl win. Now I am looking forward to NASCAR resuming in 2 weeks. Daytona here we come!! Have a lovely evening and stay warm.

Afternoon everyone, Been busy this morning on FB and answering emails. Time sure does get away from me at times. Getting old is not fun. Guess I'd better get something out for dinner. Not sure what we will have. Not doing all that well on my meal planning. Need to practice more. Have a lovely evening and stay warm.

Hi Everyone, Having a lovely lazy day out on our patio. Had to have the phone company out to fix our phone. Yes, we are old and still have a land line. I am not a fan of cell phones because I don't feel the need to be in touch with the world 24/7. And...no one will ever be able to figure out what I have done or where I have been because my life is not be on a phone. We do have one in the car that we use when traveling. That's only for emergencies. Our kids are not happy about it, but it's our life and we choose to not pay hundreds of dollars for a phone that can be tracked wherever we go. OK...off my soap box now...LOL Have a lovely evening and stay warm.

Hello everyone,
Beautiful day here in AZ. 84 degrees...it is still February isn't it? We are way warmer this winter than usual. Hopefully we will have a wetter and cooler summer this year. Looking forward to Olympic ice skating tonight. I like watching others do what I could only wish to do. Enjoy the rest of your day or evening.

Hello Everyone, How are all of you doing today? I hope you are all staying warm. We have cooled down a little bit...only 75 today. Can't wait for the opening ceremony of the Olympics tonight. I always love the opening and closing ceremony's. I like the winter games more than the summer ones. Guess I like Luge more than track... One is way more exciting than the other. Have a great evening and a fabulous weekend.

Hello everyone, I am one happy woman today. Not only was the opening of the Olympics spectacular... But my NASCAR has started up again. Doesn't really start until Thursday with the clash race, then Daytona next Sunday...but I got to watch 2 hours of practice today. Then...off to watch the Olympics. Today is snowboarding, ski jumping and luge. Looks to be a full fun day. Have a wonderful day and stay warm.

Hello everyone, Well, I guess I need to get my information correct on NASCAR. Today is the clash and Thursday is the duel. Then Sunday our season starts with the Daytona 500. Every year they change so much stuff and rules. I'll probably get it mid season...LOL We have a bunch of new drivers and have lost several veteran drivers. Seems like it will make a great season. Well, gotta pay attention to what is going on. Have a lovely Sunday Afternoon and Evening!

Hello Everyone,
I just wrote a long post and of course...it went off to cyber space. I hate when that happens because I can never remember what I wrote. It is cloudy, cold and windy here today. We are in the low 60's and that is cold for Arizona. I even got to turn on my electric fireplace today. Well, that's about all I have to say now. I can't remember what I said before... So, have a lovely evening and stay warm.

Hello everyone, We are in the low 60's today with cloudy skies. And will be for the next week or so. Last night we got a little rain. We need so much more, but we will take what we can get. Having fun watching our young people winning medals at the Olympics. I could never do all those tricks on a snowboard...but it looks like fun. Also watching the Westminster Dog Show. We are dog people and I love watching all the different types of dogs. And, their specific talents and abilities. Then on Thursday I have the NASCAR duel races. So, it's going to be a busy week for me and the TV. Have a lovely evening and stay warm.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!! I'm so sorry I'm checking in late. I was here a couple of hours ago and wrote a great post. Went to save it and poof...proboards went down. Now, who would have guessed it would do that right as I was posting? I would...it happens to me all the time and I hate it. You never can remember what you wrote the first time and it was always wonderful...LOL It is raining here today. We are so excited about it. It's a nice soft rain and it just keeps coming. I love this kind of rain. Not a fan of the monsoons that we have in the summer. We need this rain badly. We have been so warm this winter. I guess we might just have a weeks worth of winter this week. It won't last longer than that. I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day. And...if you don't have a Valentine...I will be yours.

Hello Everyone,
It is still raining here today. I love it and we need it. In losing my post yesterday, I forgot to mention that it is now Lent. We usually try to give up something that is not good for us or add something that is each year. It has helped us to give up a few things for good and one year we added fish on Fridays just because we were not eating enough fish. So, we always have some sort of fish every week. I have a real addiction to chips. Doesn't matter what kind...I'll eat them. So, this year I am giving up chips. I hope it will help me give them up for good. And, I hope I can make it to Easter without eating one! OK...I'd better go. Got a late start to the day...love being retired...LOL Have a lovely evening and stay warm.

Hello Everyone, Still cloudy today, but no rain as of yet. I don't mind rain...but cloudy days make me depressed. Living up in the Pacific Northwest for 12 years it happened a lot. Living down here I don't get it very often. I'm hoping it will clear up by tomorrow. Getting a little tired of it to tell the truth. Got my new set of iron pots and skillet yesterday. I love them. Now just have to figure out what to cook in them. Fish of some sort tonight. Have a great day and stay warm.

Hello Everyone,
Still overcast and cloudy today. I am so over this. I want my sunshine back. It's cold and I'm not used to it. I hear some of you are having a blizzard. Guess I shouldn't complain. Not much going on today. Tomorrow is the Daytona 500. I love my NASCAR. Well, have a great afternoon/evening and stay warm.

Yes, I know it's afternoon...but I love this tag. I'm excited for Daytona 500 to start in a few minutes. I hope all the drivers stay safe and have a good race. Other than Nascar...nothing is going on in my life today. Have a great evening and stay warm!!

Hello everyone, It is very cold and windy here today. Seems like we finally got some winter. Again it's cloudy, dark and very windy. We are getting lots of snow in the high country. But, no skiing on this Presidents Day. The wind is blowing 50+mph up there so the lifts were stopped. I really need some sunshine. They say we will get some tomorrow and be 55 degrees. Oh...don't know what time I will be in tomorrow. We have eye doctor appts. in the morning and go out to lunch after. Then a couple of errands if we feel up to it. So, you are all on your honor to behave yourself until I get home. I know you can do it...LOL Have a fabulous afternoon and evening. Stay warm!!

Hello Everyone, Just about ready to walk out the door to get our eyes checked. I can't believe I got up at 7:15 AM...LOL Oh well, up, showered, dressed, fed and ready to go. After the appt. we will go out to lunch. Red Robin I think. It's close to our eye doctor. Then a few errands and home. Will check back in when I get home. Have a great day and stay warm!!

Good Afternoon everyone, So sorry I'm late in checking in, but my computer wouldn't work this morning. Yesterday was mind blowing. We went to the eye doctor at 10:30am. Both my husband and I had appointments. They saw us in a timely manner, put drops in our eyes and sent us to the waiting room. We waited and waited and waited. Finally over a hour later they put us both in the same room. And we waited and waited and waited again. The doctor came in and checked my husband's eyes and said he'd be back to check mine. 20 min later he came and checked mine and said I was not dilated. So he put more drops in my eyes and we waited and waited and waited again. Some of the helpers went to lunch and came back and there we sat. Finally he comes in and looks at my eyes and wants another test done. So, back to the waiting room to wait another 30 min for the other test. That took about 5 min. Back to the room and there we sat and waited again. Finally he comes in and tells me my scan came out fine. We finally got to leave and go to lunch at 3pm. Lunch was good and then we came home and I fell asleep in my recliner. Have a lovely evening and stay warm!!

I love this new tag. Thank goodness there is nothing going on here today. We are relaxing at home. I hope to do a couple of little things around the house...if I feel like it. It's still cold here. I hope it warms up soon as we have Spring training starting here soon. Have a lovely afternoon and stay warm!!

Hello Everyone,
Slow start to my day. Watched NASCAR practice this morning. Qualifying is later this afternoon. Race is this Sunday in Atlanta. Tonight our youngest granddaughter is coming for a visit. We are going to take her out to dinner. It's nice to spend time with her. She is so sweet and loves her grandparents very much. I can't believe how long we have been cold here in AZ. The sun is out today, but it is so chilly. Best get moving and get some things done before she comes. Have a great evening and stay warm.

Hello Everyone,
Late posting again...sorry! Had my darling granddaughter come spend some time with us last night. We took her out to dinner. She wanted to go to IHOP, (she's 12) but wow...they were full and the wait was long. So, we got back in the car and she said she wanted a hamburger from Culvers. So, that's where we finally got some food...after 7pm. It wasn't that crowded, but wow was the drive up window line long...LOL We ran to the drug store afterwards to get my CLA. Then we came home and she entertained us for a couple of hours. She is so silly sometimes and makes me laugh. I need her around more often. Then my daughter called to tell us that one of our friends older dog had died. They were going by her house before they came to pick up the granddaughter. It's so sad when we lose a furbaby. Really breaks my heart. Then they came by and got my little sweetie. Also we have a festival going on here called 'Lost Dutchman Days" So everything is busy and more than the normal number of people in town. That's about it for me. Have a lovely evening and stay warm!

OOPS...so sorry everyone. I completely forgot to check in today. I didn't feel well this morning and then there was my race day. It was delayed for rain, but got going a couple of hours late. And no, my guy didn't win...didn't even come close... Then, I took a nap in my chair. Geez...you'd think I was getting old or something. Well, that's about it for me. Have a great Monday and stay warm!

Good Afternoon everyone,
Slow start to my day today. Think my blood pressure is up and giving me a headache. Think I'll lie down for a little while. Seems like everyone around me is in a little funk today. Hubby is quarrelsome and I'm in no mood to hear it...lol Even the dog is not in a good mood today. So, think I'll go back to the bedroom, close the door and rest. Have a great evening and stay warm!!

Good Afternoon everyone, Again I'm late checking in because I'm not feeling up to par. Now, I'm not really sick, just very tired and feel out of sorts. I have no energy. Guess it's time to make a doctors appt. I just hate to go as nothing every gets better. Other than that I need to get some cooking done. Going to make my mother's been pot and if I have time later, I'll make some breakfast muffins. So, have a great evening and stay warm.

Afternoon all,
We had a good storm last night. Helps getting the dust out of our air. We still can have a few leftover sprinkles. Got some good snow pack in the mountains. Hubby is going out to dinner tonight with daughter and family for sushi. I am not going. I don't do sushi. Will be nice to have a couple of hours to myself to watch my recorded shows. That's all that's going on here. Have a lovely evening and stay warm!!
Peek-a-boo... Looks what's just around the corner...

Sorry everyone, I have no clue as to what is going on in Photobucket. It says that "this person" has removed or deleted this photo. Well, I have not moved or deleted anything. And, I can't get it to copy any of the URL's to post anything. So frustrating!!!! Hopefully they will have them back by tomorrow or they will hear an earful from me!!! So, please excuse the huge black "photo not found" things. They were there last night and I assure you I did not move anything. Checked a couple of my other folders and things are missing from there too. So, that's why I'm late checking in. Have a great afternoon and stay warm!! Well, something happened that I can at least post a checking in tag. My other tags are still missing!!
