The Old Folks Home

The weinermobile went off the road? At least it didn't roll (though it is partly a roll anyway).


Now you get nothing, including almost nothing for letting them loan your money to other people.

I think you PAY then for everything now!

Hello all! Sorry it's been so long since my last post. Let's just say 2020 has been a year. My ex husband passed away a month or so ago so I've been trying to support my kids over the loss of their dad. I went to have an ablation to "fix" my afib and they thought they found a tumor in my heart. Thankfully after an MRI and a consult with a heart surgeon, no tumor and no need for any surgery. I was incredibly grateful when I got that news. Mostly been really busy getting Christmas gifts made and shipped off. I've found a few new things to make and made some old ones too. I had a lot of fun making the shadowboxes and the table runner.

dsq, I'm so glad your heart situation is better than what they suspected. Whew! The shadowboxes are beautiful. I especially like the elephant.

It used to be that when the weinermobile showed up, it meant free hot dogs, and weiner whistles. Banks used to give free "prizes" for opening a new account. Toasters were common. Many businesses sent yearly calendars to their customers. In addition, a lot of them would celebrate their anniversaries, which meant free food, and/or prizes.

When my girls were growing up, I was able to stretch our household/food budget a lot farther, because we had a couple good scratch-n-dent stores nearby. I've seen some that were not so good, but I was fortunate that the ones near us were really nice, and carried a large variety of things.

Good morning, OF.

This old folk is headed back to bed. I did my work for today (retired) dragged garbage containers out to the street for trash pickup. Get to snooze until they empty them several hours later.

Might add a bit to the squirrel feeder first- think he is getting tired of the same old food. He looked at it and headed up the street to the huge oak tree and probably a life's worth of acorns. Meanwhile Chickadees are cleaning up everything he is ignoring.

They are calling for a wintry mix here tomorrow. Sounds like a mess to me.

good afternoon OF; it sounds like a few of you have quite a storm coming. Hope it passes by without incident! It is calm and unseasonably mild here at the moment.
