Granny's gone and done it again

Oh..those green cabinets? They ..the folks buying..can paint them if they don't like it. I'm not..told the kids they're not.

Came from Spain?

Not sure. Can’t find any reference now.

Pecan grows principally in the lower Mississippi Valley. Within this region it extends westward to eastern Kansas and central Texas, eastward to western Mississippi and western Tennessee.

then it gets confusing.
Yes, pecans can grow in California, but they are not native to the state:

• Native range
  Pecan trees are native to the southern United States and northern Mexico, and are also found in states like Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.
  
  
  
• Commercial production
  The first commercial pecan trees were planted in California in the 1960s, and commercial production is limited to the Southern San Joaquin Valley.
  
  
  
• Growing conditions
  Pecan trees require a hot climate, deep, well-drained soil, and adequate moisture to mature properly. They also need at least two different varieties for good pollination.
  
  
  
• Size
  Pecan trees can grow to be 70 to 100 feet tall and 40 to 75 feet wide.
  
  
  
• Other characteristics
  Pecan trees produce oval-shaped fruits that are green to brown and mature in early fall. The inside of a pecan nut is liquid before it solidifies.
  

I also read they are not true nuts.

Biopsy negative BUT, there is a cancer that grows on the thyroid that can show negative early. Doc thinks the odds of it being cancerous is only 20%. Getting another ultrasound early February and if felt needed another biopsy This doc is one of the best I've ever seen. His manner is excellent as all the docs I've found here are. Not a single HA here.

Sign at a Montana gas station. It was 13 degrees this morning.

Hubby is going to clean and wax the wood floors tomorrow. I have been cleaning up some, still lots to do. Put up my new curtains in the bedroom. Hemmed a couple pairs of pants for hubby.

I take it your feeling better Cap?

DH never had injection ai site pain before but he did this time. Talked with the Dr on call . Long night....
...

I'm sorry he is in so much pain. I hope it improves quickly.

I used to go fishing there a lot. Always catch a lit. When we got what we wanted with our group on the boat we would catch and release. Scott and I took our motor home up. A lot of rainbow and browns.
The daughter that took me to the hospital goes a lot. She has caught some huge ones. You go early in the spring when they're waking up more.
Here's a couple of photos they took while there one year.
I'll also post a photo of my son Richard that's in a chair.
Oh, sure note. My son in law .. who us also my stepson.. is holding Mindi's fish. Mindi married Jeff, Scott's son. They were both out of the home when Scott and I married. Makes for interesting and confusing genealogy. I love that kid. He's good to her. Like his dad was to me.
Anyway, we love Fish Lake. The big fish in the photo was released. I'm thinkingbthey cooked up Richard's.

OMG I knew they were in there! Some monsters too! Makes me yern for fresh fish.

Well, time to pick up and clear off counters. Photos today and I sign papers to say I'm selling my house.
Woke up without a headache for the first time in weeks! Now it's starting. I can definitely tell it's my Occipital Neuralgia. I need to make an appointment with my Neuro. I guess actually he doesn't give them but a woman there does. He told me to come in and have her do it when I'm ready, says she's good. I'm ready.
Will probably do more touch up paint. Edges of doorways. My living room doorways got dinged with all the different things brought into the home through the years. Like this giant fridge this year!
Took a picture and it's like a mirror. You can see me sitting on a step ladder taking the photo.
Tell me what you think about an idea. This fridge is quite large. We've noted that it probably won't fit in any places we've looked at. It might, fit in the Townhouse were looking at. Might, if we took the above cabinets out like we did here. If that would work we would keep it.
If not, I'm not sure I want to leave it .. thinking I could sell it and get some of my money back. It was 1,600 bucks. I could buy a different type with a 1,00 if I could sell it for that.
This is pretty nice. If you zoom in you'll see two strips..one on each side with what looks like blue. They are lit at night. You put your hand in front of it and it opens..it's censored. The water and ice are inside. It has a pitcher that stays full of filtered water and a place for filling a glass or water bottle. Ice of course is in the freezer.
I'm just wondering if it would be a good selling point. I realize that it alone isn't the clincher. lol. But I also bought a new microwave this year and the dishwasher is only a couple of years old. Maybe all together it would help. It was hard for the movers to get that thing in. I can't see us moving it. Hopefully if I sold it others could do it. View attachment 3991865View attachment 3991866

That would be hard to give up. Even harder to sell I think but you could buy it yet again. Is the window to return it closed?

What does this even mean and are you planning on staying there? Your not too far from Twist are you?

We are at the dentist, hopefully they fix DH tooth so we don't have to come back. He has to get medical clearance before he can get reclast infusion (osteoporosis). Broken jaws are known to occur if dental work is done after reclast. His knee was too stiff to get in the driver's seat.
Very ready for a day at home

I refused the infusion. My Dr. suggested it. I've got some osteoporosis in my back and legs but I'm so sensitive to meds. I'm taking calcium vitamins. Large amount.
I hope he gets relief sooner than later with that knee. I remember the pain before I got my injection. Bless his heart. So much going on. You too. I know what it's like being a caregiver when you have your own health problems.
Granny. I see you too!

When the rains stop I need to rake up our pecans. Found a tree I didn't know I had and it had some on it this year. I heavily fertilized the two I had found and I hope it was in time to get those trees to bear next year. A good neighbor brought us about a pound of shelled pecan halves yesterday. I'm tired out as usual for this time of night.

Goodnight Granny Land

What kind of rake do you use. We have been trying to get people to come and pickup ours but no takers.
