I was sitting in front of the TV falling asleep so thought I would chat with my sisters for a bit before going to bed. It is only 8:40 here and I am very sleepy, but if I go to sleep now I will be awake in the wee hours of the morning.
Are either of you going to the pumpkin festival? Wish I was there to go. The woman that cuts my hair has a cabin not far from Cambridge and she said she and her husband were going to spend a few days there and might go. It was fun the year we went when April was visiting .
Our trip to visit Troy and Carol was wonderful except for the accident on the way. However, only the car was damaged and no one was hurt. And, the car was driveable. Just got an estimate today for repairs. Anyway, we were in awe of the beauty of Colorado. The mountains and rock formations were so beautiful. Meeting Carol's Daughter's family was great. Katie and Josh have two adorable little girls. We were able to visit with them and Carol's brother Kenny. Troy and Carol drove us around and showed us lots of places and Earl played golf with them at a course in the hills among the red rocks. Gorgeous scenery and saw a lot of wild life. I rode along and just enjoyed the view.
Vacations are great, but being home is too. Oh no! That must mean I am really old now. Signing off sisters. My brain is not engaging for any more chatting. Much love to you..

Good Morning Sisters!
I keep looking at this to see if there are any comments or new additions. Nope. None.
Thought it was time to change that disgusting picture also. Sorry about that grossness.
What are your thoughts and what would you like to do again - what would you like to 'feel' again?

I do believe that the little girl on the swing is probably Diane doing her 'alone' thing. She was such a unique human, wasn't she?
Lots of love to both of you!

Mindfulness
noun
- 1.the quality or state of being conscious or aware of something."their mindfulness of the wider cinematic tradition"
- 2.a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well I am certainly in a "State of UNmindfulness" today and the entire past week.
I seem to be having a very hard time being mindful of the present moment, task, etc.
Yesterday I went all the way to the Post Office only to discover I didn't take the mail. That was my only reason for going out.
Today I went to Riverside for my pre-admission testing for my upcoming colonoscopy. Because I was not being mindful, I passed my exit and went 8 miles out of the way. Then I parked without a thought as exactly where i parked. I went to my appt on the 4th floor and discover that i had lost my parking ticket for them to stamp. I came back to my car (after going to the 2nd floor in the garage - not there. Got on the elevator and started over. Went to the 3rd floor - not there. Finally I remembered that I was on the 2nd floor but far from the elevator. Looked everywhere for my parking stub - to no avail. I finally made it home safe and sound. I gound my parking stub in my back pocket of the jeans!
Can either of you relate? I find myself doing this crazy crap more and more and it really bothers me! That's why I keep doing it because of the fact that it bothers me so.
How about you two - can you relate? One of you may have to take care of me one of these days.
LoveYa!

Hello again Sisters!
Just getting ready to hop in the shower and was thinking about both of you.
Hope Dorian leaves you alone Sissy and that it just moves on out to sea for everyone.
Hope you get in your house soon SissySusie
It is an absolutely beautiful morning. The birds are chirping, the breeze is soft and life seems pretty good at the moment. I love how our porch looks with the sun coming through the sheer curtains. Makes me feel like a southern belle on her veranda! HaHa!
My plan is STILL to find some pictures to share. But in the meantime, these will have to do!
Have a wonderfull day to both of you.

Very frustrating
I only have a few minutes to fuss, but I signed in and added ( I thought) a comment to Susie’s post and when I hit publish it disappeared! Anyway Susie, I will add some pics of us when I can find them on my flash drives. Glad to see you on our blog.❤️
I see you have added something too Lizzie Searcher. I am going to read it now and see if I can comment..Geez.

Hello darlins'
We have been busy in our garden and it is looking so beautiful! I could never have accomplished any of it if it were not for DannyBoy. He keeps lugging dirt and mulch, digging holes and encouraging me to go buy more plants. I'm sure I don't have to explain to you about the bargains I got on my plants! All of them were at least half price at Lowe's because it's the end of the season. That' what I do.
I've been meeting more and more of our neighbors and, so far, everyone is so very nice. The guy who lives behind us (Jim) is a newby gardener. He is also so very generous. He's given us many things - food, seasonings, plants, wine, etc. The attached picture is of him and the latest thing he gave me. He's really good looking, don't you think?Quite impressive, right?!
I think my cataracts are at the point where I MUST do something. The eye doc told me a few months ago that I have the start and he said I would know when it's time to do something about it. I've been having more and more problems seeing at night and my vision seems to be slightly fuzzy. I'm going to make an appointment tomorrow, for sure.
Yes, of course, I think about Diane. Especially I thought of her today when I went back and read some of the old posts. Brought tears to my eyes. We will never get over losing her but we can smile and laugh at some of our crazy memories. I must have pictures in my big picture box so I will look soon and post a few.
It's only 8pm and I'm soooooooo tired today. Trying to figure out how to stay up until at least 9:30.
This post is lacking my usual punch but it will be back tomorrow.
Love you both!

Ten Years Ago...
Our last Sisters Get Together 10 years ago in October. I sure miss doing this.
We should have a SGT Anniversary bash!
Love you sissies!
Watching and Waiting for Dorian
Oh my goodness, there is no excuse for anyone not to be prepared as they can be for the arrival of Dorian. It is all that is on TV and radio, which is good except some people here have been through so many they don't take the warnings seriously. After the destruction of Florence they should. Well, we have all the stuff we need if it hits anywhere here again. Tomorrow we will bring all the things that can fly around. Hopefully our neighbors will do the same.
Today is Mah Jongg day so a day to forget about storms and have a little silliness before the storm. I don't want to get the attitude of Maxine. I am embarrassed to say I don't remember who gave me the changeable calendar of her that every time you move a block to change the date she says some sarcastic thing. It had to be you Liz or Barb. She has given me a couple Maxine things.
Gotta sign off. Can't be late for Mah Jongg. Love you girlies and want to hear what you are doing today. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dorian
Oscar Wilde wrote about a character named Dorian Gray. He wrote about his character and wanted to shock people by openly writing about homosexual feelings. I don't think this Dorian cares one whit about any of that, but at the moment is on a path of destruction that is very frightening and scaring a whole lot of people up and down the coast. I can hardly stop watching the weather channel for the next update. Boy, those weather guys get extremely excited. Then I get excited and not in a good way. Actually, I am not terribly scared. We are prepred as we can be with water, food, gas for the generator, etc. For Christmas Gordon gave us all kinds of things to get us through the next storm - camp stove to cook on if needed and some great lights. Hopefully we won't be without power for as long as last time. Never know. I am praying that New Bern is spared. Parts of the city is still recovering from the last one.
As far as inviting others to join us I don't know how we invite them to be contributors, but I know anyone with a blogger account can read our posts. Might be good they can't comment.
There are constant ads on TV for Botox. Do you have friends who have treatments of that? I have never felt compelled to do that. Maybe plastic surgery to look like Queen Elizabeth so I would get the respect I deserve. I am getting close to her age. 😳I am always afraid my mouth would sort of get frozen like the Pioneer Woman who cooks on the food channel. Ever watch her and notice the funny way she talks with her mouth? It is like she can only give a partial smile, not a big toothy one. Gosh, I should read your quote again, Liz, about being a good woman. I am afraid I ain't.
Earl and I went to breakfast at Capt. Ratty's this morning in New Bern. Delicious. Then we walked around New Bern and the park before going grocery shopping. Hope the park is still there next Sunday and Capt Ratty's too!
That's is for now. Could go on with more nonsense, but think I will watch tennis and see if Serena can win again. Hope to see you girls here on the blog. I do love you a bunch!
