@Yahooey   have lots of new memories made...send smoke signals if you need bail money...i can have my "sam" rob a rich person...lol

@SouthernBee   my neighbor friend...told me last night that she went w/her parents yesterday  for their annual "Wellness check-up for Medicare" and her"mom" was very anxious !!!  and was nit picking at her dad overNOT  remembering the 3 words during testing..

and then telling nurse practioner..

that he won't do anymore outside  yard and can't remember things  and sits in his chair watching game shows on tv most of the day...he is 86 years old!.

.BUT.she is 4 yrs younger than him plus he has had 2 serious head enjories in past years!...

well anyway..nurse practioner..looked at her moms bloodwork  and told her that she needed her" thryoid" med changed as it was causing her anxiety!

My neighbor  and her dh went over  to her parents house after the check ups..and did the yard work her mom wanted done    plus put up me mailbox for them.!

oops here i go story telling again...sorry!

My yard did get mowed befor dark last night  looks nice again.

@cowboy sam : The size and space in the freezer the looks can be deceptive. If you go back : take a measuring tape with you to double  check.

If you already have some items at home that you would put them in the freezer: get a piece of paper and measure the items and write everything down and compare in the store.Or better yet : if you have empty container ( example: empty box that  contains your favorite frozen item) take it with you to the store. Take your measuring tape with you to the  store and measure the shelf. The shelf will probably be not wide but  narrow.But considering its just for your use.

DD purchased this size for her and two kids and not enough space . Stated had to purchase the small individual pizzas, frozen entree and not regular size tv dinners, pints of ice cream. Had to purchase the small boxes of frozen vegetables. This is what she said. Since I purchased the big freezer , they use the small one for pints of ice cream, ice cream sandwiches for easier reach.

For the price and future use : consider  not going smaller: just my opinion.🤗❤

@cowboy sam : You're welcome. We purchased the 3.0 mini fridge. The two shelves were like  4 1\2 inches wide and 6 inches long. Vegetable bin held only a small bag of carrots and two bell peppers. On the door: one space enough room for two sticks of butter. Bottom shelf: 1\2 gallon of milk. Had 6 spaces to hold can soda. The freezer : enough room for two ice trays and one pint of ice cream. On the door: 2 small boxes of frozen vegetables.

 @geezerette@SouthernBee  & All Preds' Friends...

Good Morning Everyone!

Exciting Breaking News!

For those who remember my "Quacker Family" adoption process going back a few months ago...

I received a "Quack" message...lol...this weekend from the adorable "Quacker Family"...Mama Daisy and her three ducklings....Huey, Louie and Dewey....They are due to arrive today!...I have prepared a very special cozy place for them in our front landscaped area...We are excitedly anticipating their arrival and welcoming them into our family!  😃 ❤️

I love these, @MyShadowLove! 😍

@MyShadowLove 

yes - i remember the Quacker family - have they flown in yet?

me gotta see their new home

excellant idea regarding mashing the avocados - 

it is very difficult to eat - u take a bite and stuff shoots out from the other side and lands on the plate or ur top etc

ryan news - saw an interview - they had to get doll like - no hair

all the kens were debating - hair is very light etc

director says with new HD - all hair OFF - chest - arms - legs - ouch!

@Yahooey...My "Quacker family" were due to arrive yesterday; however, due to the rain storms that passed through, Mama Duckling decided that it was best for her and her Ducklings to find a safe, cozy roosting place and get a good rest before starting out again...So now they are due to arrive tomorrow by 9:00 p.m....Mama Daisy is keeping me informed through her "Quack messaging"!...LOL

After seeing your picture of your Yummy Avocado BLT, I now have BLTs and corn-on-the cob on our menu for this week....I love simple Summer eating, grilling, etc. and being able to get all of our vegetables/fruits fresh from the Farmers' Markets in our area...I make sure to buy enough to freeze for Winter months.

Yes, Ryan definitely looks very "smooth"  for his role in Barbie...By the way, I watched a movie last night that my twin sister mentioned this past weekend, as she is also a Ryan Gosling fan...It is from 2010 and is based on a true life story of a New York real estate scion (Ryan) whose wife suddenly goes missing...I curled up to it last night and it is an interesting role that he plays...quite intense,  and, as always, he came through and played his character to perfection..."All Good Things"....You can put this on your list also, along with "Blade Runner 2049".  😊

@MyShadowLove, @Yahooey, I was thinking that I haven't seen Ryan Gosling in any roles...  but then I looked up "All Good Things" and realized yes I have!  (It's available free, streaming on Tubi, by the way for anyone interested.)  He was terrifying in that role, suitably appropriate considering the evil person he was portraying.

Thank you, dear @SouthernBee!  It's been a series of rolling storms, with my weather radio going off a lot, and I'm trying to keep things charged so when the power is out I still can have light and do a few things on my iPad and iPhone.  I really do need to invest in a small power station and just haven't figured out how to select the right one for my simple needs.  I don't need to power big appliances or things like that, just something that would keep a lantern, iPad, and iPhone charged for maybe a day or two.   Even then, the internet's not available most of that time and there's nothing I can do about that.  Crazy how much that connectivity to the internet means to us now, isn't it?!

More heavy rain starting again and I hear thunder, now, in the distance. I need to log off again 'til things seem to be calmer.

My problems are simple, though...  I keep praying for those who have been hit hard by damaging storms that have torn up their homes and their towns, and also those in Hawaii who are in peril.

My love to you and to all who read, post, and who "peek" in here.❤️
