Monday - First Full Day of Fall

Postby Colliemom » Mon Sep 23, 2013 6:29 am

Good Morning from the chilly MI 45th,

Well, we all know that fall rolled in yesterday. 4:44 p.m.to be exact. And it feels it this morning too. Temp is hovering right around freezing mark and as daylight brightens I can see frost starting to form on edges of roof tops and my picnic table. Looks like a scattered frost again this morning. Yesterday was chilly all day, barely making it into the 50's. But plenty of sunshine forecasted for this week and temps gradually warming up again. Good working outdoors weather.

Am heading to town in a bit here and get a blood test done to check cholesterol levels and all that good stuff and then set up an appt. with my NP to get it all evaluated etc. Also need to have them schedule mammogram. Then the usual errands to run.

Irmi, condolences to you and your family on the loss of your mom. I know it's going to be hard on your dad now and you are worried about him, but as others have said, you have been a wonderful daughter to your parents. (((hugs))).

Sarah, sorry about the news on your niece. Let's hope things turn out better than they sound after today. Glad you got home okay. Yep, wading through all the mail and catching up on a long trip can be overwhelming sometimes, but at least you can think of the places you went and things you did to make it all worthwhile.

Peggy, glad to hear you are in NM. Enjoy

Mitch, I too loved that picture. You lovely silver hair really does look good on you. Keep it that way. Gray hair is a status symbol for those of us who have reached the "senior" years level. It's a good way to get all the "freebies" and "discounts" out there :lol:

Time to head for a quick bath and off to get the blood work done, then to breakfast as my tummy is going to be growling before long after having been on a 13 hour fast. Have a wonderful day everybody.

Good Morning,

Donna, I understand about the 'chaos' - unfortunately, I can't seem to get beyond it!!

I will be off to Sam's Club, grocery store and laundry today - all the fun stuff. A haircut would be nice if I can find a place.

I heard from my cousin in Cape May yesterday. I will be going there Wednesday (his sisters will both arrive that day) and then heading north again on Saturday to eventually meet up with Carolb! He lives on a small street but owns the lot next door so my parking at the curb won't be an issue. More fun to be where the action is!

Maybe I am just 'at an age', but it certainly seems medical issues are becoming more of an every day topic! LeRoy has 3 friends (all whom I have met) either in the hospital or just released! We sure send up a lot of extra prayers these days!

Thinking of you, Irmi! Mitch, hope you are feeling better each hour!

Thinking of everyone this morning. May your strength be sufficient for what ever the day brings you.

It is suppose to be rainy here in Montana but we have been told that cowgirls ride rain or shine so it is time to put on some extra layers and head towards the barns. There are 12 of us and the majority are in their 50's and 60's. Guess that proves just how strong the love of horses and the outdoors is. Some have come with friends and at least 6 of us have come by ourselves. Let the day begin. Need to go find my boots......

Good Morning

So excited for you, Tina but sorry you have to start ride in rain - but that is better than snow!

Still plowing my way thru mail, phone messages, etc. Feel like I'm doing stuff in slow motion as progress is hard to tell.

Hope all of you have a more interesting day planned.
