The Old Folks Home

That's too many dogs!

Hopefully they don't have an appetite for birds.

Got my last quilt done on the old machine today (really pushed it, now my shoulders hurt) and went to load a 3$ panel onto the new machine for practice and... we lost power.

It's back on for now, but we're getting crazy wind until about 10 pm so I likely shouldn't tempt the gods.

@ronott1
Could you walk me through?

I want to switch back to my old avatar... and don't see it on byc.

It is gone?

Yeah, one thing that was easier on the previous format (I do like this one) was pics, especially avatar pics.

I need to find some of those reusable TV dinner type trays where you put the whole meal together then freeze it. Microwave here it comes sort of deal. I've looked for them a couple of times at wally world when I remembered them, but never did find them. If I had one of those food savers, I could just put it all in a bag, suck it down and freeze it, then heat it back up in a pot of boiling water, open it, and pour it out on a plate. The turkey, mashed spuds and gravy get all mixed together anyway.

Turkey is in the sink thawing overnight. Gonna cook it tomorrow. With the really good football match ups tomorrow, it will be like Thanksgivings of old; sit in the recliner with a plateful, watching the game while eating, then when done, sleep through most of the game... Debating on making green bean casserole... will make the mashed taters, gravy and have rolls & cranberry sauce. Looking forward!

they have Trays on Amazon that can go in the oven... looked into it a while back.

Not sure but I think a Dr can only tell tell them they have a driving restriction. Not sure if it goes on their licence. My FIL (80, 81 in April) is supposed to not be driving according to his Dr ( after complications from getting his heart valve repaired, not because of physically unable but the anaesthesia made him kinda 'nutty' for awhile, maybe still a little...) he didn't wait till Dr gave him the OK, HE 'feels' fine and able...


My grandfather and family got a phone call yrs ago, 80s that they, troopers had pulled my great grandfather (87) over a few times for driving too slow and he'd been drinking coming from a over the hills backwoods bar (he liked to go there and play his fiddle) He told the troopers he only needed to use the road for a few minutes. . So they just followed him home. Boy things have changed.
Everybody convinced him to give up his car, didn't loose his licence they just got rid of his car. I rode my bike to his house and bring him books to read, cross country ski in the winter. He gave up, went pretty fast when he couldn't drive lost his independence. Broke his toe, didn't tell anyone and died of gangrene/blood poisoning .

I think that can be a common thing to lose will that way.

Last year, since there was just 2 of us, I roasted a breast instead of a whole turkey. Spatchcocked just as above, and it was absolutely delicious, and enough for us without huge amounts of leftover, although I did miss the dark meat which is my favorite. I like turkey, but I really don't want to eat it for 4 or 5 meals.

Have you ever had turkey burgers made with leftover turkey? Really yum.

That is sad. My Aunt rode her bike places because she was right in town but her dementia progressed and she wasn't able to care for herself. I took her to TN to live with us.

Forecast was 70% chance of T-storms tonight after 10. Well, it's almost 11 and I can hear distant thunder. Looked at the radar and sure enough, big old front line approaching from the west. I can see the lightening over the horizon. You'd think the thunder would be too far away to hear... the front is 30 miles or more away, but I'm hearing it. Windows are all closed and about to go let Mel (my LGD) into the back yard from the pasture so he can come up on the deck to stay dry.

Sorry Ron - Rob told me they no longer store old avatars. Which is why I don't switch mine. Sorry I can't recall your old avatar. Do you have it anywhere on the computer, or photos at home.

Oh bother

I do not see saved avatars. Do you have it in your media section?

Huh... I thought I used to have 3.... or at least 2.. . Sandhill crane, and sandhill crane with Christmas hat.

There are a couple of Gordon's Food Service stores around, they sell things like that etc. I used to buy tons of stuff from them that I used for growing seedlings/house plants. Plus lots of stuff that people actually put food in.

Used to go often but, my brother hated taking me because I was in their forever, trying to find more stuff. My son hated taking me for the same reason, so ended up buying much more than I thought I would need. Figured I might never get there again.
