Good Morning
-
I need to some house cleaning today before I head out to haul more hay, We got a load of calves yesterday that we are feeding for another guy. Right now we just have them in a pasture. Some already got out into the tree patch but we got them back in. Dh is suppose to help neighbors after lunch pack silage. I also want to can my salsa.

Good Morning! Drinking my coffee while laundry washes, waiting for 10 oclock to get here to take Ollie to the Dr he got red spots, I look at them and them he points to freckles on my arm and says "no you got spots", lol he so funny now days yesterday he told me "you break my heart". After Dr we have to run by walmart and then marvins for some stock up items. At 4 daughter has a softball game and 550 a teachers meeting so Ill cook up some potato soup before game so dinner will be ready hopefully we can get to bed on time we all have been so tired lately. Have a great day everyone.

Morning Ladies!
Getting back into the swing of things around here after our long weekend in Manhattan. Jean head out to work around 5AM, and after napping a little after getting him on the road I head in to town to drop Graham off at the groomer and hit Rite Aid. Sadly, no one in town seems to carry the color of nail polish I'm looking for, including Rite Aid (it's a hard life, right?? 8) ;D ).
Now back home I'm having my coffee and starting on my NSA work for the day. I also need to work on laundry at some point. Pretty normal day around here! Dinner tonight is something with ground turkey.
Have a wonderful day!
Mandy :)

Good morning!
It is an absolutely beautiful day today!!! I, unfortunately, am suffering from either allergies or a cold so am not feeling 100% today. And, I didn't get to bed on time last night so I am tired as well. Bleh!
I have already taken care of the checkbook, cleaned up the kitchen, went food shopping, picked up Doug's suit from the cleaners and put most of the food away. I still have to wash off the apples and tomatoes I bought at the produce store. The tomatoes are seconds so I plan on roasting them in the oven and then freezing them for soup, stews, pasta, etc. for the winter. I am not sure I will do that today. I also need to finish up the girls' laundry and go pick up my egg order a bit later.
Dinner tonight is fish cakes, baked potatoes and string beans.
Have a glorious day!

Good morning!
It's been nice and cool here the day day, and I'm loving it! I have LOTS to do today. I was gone all afternoon yesterday and will be gone all afternoon tomorrow, so i've got to fit all of my daily chores into today. My house is a wreck and I've got a list a mile long. We slept in this morning, so that doesn't help things. ;D
Well, I better get at it. I'm not even going to post my list or I'd be here all morning doing it :)
Have a great one!

Good morning ladies,
It is already 82* here, so we know it is going to get hot. The ac is turned on. I hated to do it, but we have a tin roof and if we let it get hot in here, it takes a long time to cool down. :o
Good morning ladies,
I have my chores done, breakfast done, and am enjoying my cup of coffee. ;D I just gave Buddy and the cats their daily treats, so they are busy. LOL Bud likes to lay his treat on the bed and save it. Then he gets all grumpy when the cats get near it. LOL They are all just like kids, I tell you. LOL
I worked on the top borders of Shadowy Stars last night. Uggg, there was nothing on tv that I was interested in so I put RV with Robin Williams in the DVD player and enjoyed that while quilting. When Kevin got home at 11 p.m., he wanted to watch another movie, so I put Tremors with Kevin Bacon on. I love both of these movies. I don't normally like monster like movies, but Tremors is so silly it is funny. :D Besides, it also has Reba in it. LOL So it was a late night for us, but we had fun watching a movie together. I hope the new fall season is better than this week has been. :(
I know several of my favorite shows start their new season next week. I love NCIS and NCIS: LA. I have about decided to keep watching Bones instead of the Voice on Mondays. I do enjoy Bones, and am not a fan of Ceelo Green, nor Christina Aguilara. I know the NCISs will win out on Tuesdays. LOL OK, didn't you all need to read about my tv preferences.LOL Sorry, I get carried away. :-[
Not much else going on here. You all have a great day.
Blessings,
Winona

Shelly,
Any news on the tests you have gone through?

Not yet, I'm only halfway through. I finish with the last of them friday and then meet with the doctor that afternoon, so I should know something then. The doctor I had for the testing yesterday said he got some good data, so that's a good sign. One of the tests had me in a chair in a small pitch black vertical tube. The chair spun and flashed lights at me while I had on all kids of goggles and head gear. That one sure wasn't fun so I'm glad he got what he needed and I don't have to repeat it.

I'm interested! I'm one of those people who has the TV on pretty much all day long in the background while I work online or around the house, and I've found that I definitely have my routine. It's always interesting to hear what other people like. For me it's Dr.Phil in the morning (my DVR records about 4-5 episodes a day, so I just pick and choose) and Gilmore Girls in the late afternoon and while I make dinner. Jean and I watch an episode of Good Eats together during dinner, then while he is watching his shows on the DVR I take a bath, and afterwards I watch Big Bang Theory on the iPad until he comes to bed ;D. I also enjoy Barefoot Contessa, Dateline on ID, and Sex and the City, whereas he is more of a sci-fi/action fan (Continuum, Face Off, Do No Harm, Lost Girl).

I'm always interested in what people like on tv so carry on Winona and Mandy. :D
I do not have the tv on at all during the day unless Holden wants to watch an episode or two of Curious George.
Our tv watching starts at night at 8:00, after the kids are in bed. Let's see....
Mondays is Bones (Caylon got hooked on this while on maternity leave and watched every season on Netflix so of course we have to watch the new season ;))
Tuesdays is NCIS and NCIS LA
Wednesday is Survivor
Thursday is Big Bang
Fri-Sat is nothing for me.
Sunday is Amazing Race.
Normally I just watch one show a day plus the local news.

Good afternoon!
Started to post this morning but my mom called right then so I cancelled the post. I can't talk to her and type at the same time, lol. I've got some laundry done and ready to fold and my sheets in the wash. I usually do sheets on Friday but since I'm heading out of town I'm getting a head start so they're fresh when I come home from the lodge. :) I ran to Supercuts for a haircut as well...it was driving me nuts. Maddy and I had tag-teamed cutting it a couple of weeks ago but I think we were both so nervous that we didn't take enough off. Used a coupon at Walgreens for an Almay eyeliner as Max broke my other one a couple of weeks ago. I don't wear much makeup but I like my eyeliner and this particular color looks good on me (IMO, lol) without screaming "I'm wearing eyeliner!"
My sponsor will pick me up at 4 for the Emmaus walk. I still need to pack but will probably do it at the last minute. Packing for one is a piece of cake when all the clothes are clean. :D Usually, I'm packing for 7 which is a whole 'nother ballgame. I think I've got all the food planned out and meat thawing in the fridge for Earl and the kids for the weekend. He worked extra the past three days so he can take off early to get them to soccer today.
TV--I guess we're really boring in this area. :D We only have Amazon Prime right now and Earl and I are watching the 2nd season of The Fringe and the 4th season of Ballykissangel. I've got Duck Dynasty lined up to start watching with the kids. Oh, and Earl and I are also watching the Dome but I think tomorrow is the last episode of the season. I read the book and now the show is bugging me so I'm glad it's about done. I think while Earl is gone some the next few months, I will start rewatching All Creatures Great and Small in the evening after the younger kids go to bed. That way I can get some knitting in at the same time.
Well, better get the kids fed. I made the crockpot "refried" beans from Pennies and Pancakes and we'll make some burritos for lunch. My kids love these beans and I can even stand them...not a refried bean eater usually. This should give Earl enough to feed them another lunch or two this weekend, as well.
Denise, I hope you feel better quickly!
Everyone, have a great weekend!

Hi ladies,
Today is payday so I just got back from the bank and Kroger. Dh and I are going out to dinner, not sure where we always decide once we're in the car!
It's dreary here today and supposed to be this way for the next few days. I need to clean out my pantry, purge and organize it soon.
Dh and I watch Revenge, Survivor, Americas Got Talent (not so much me ;), Greys Anatomy, Duck Dynasty and many sports shows! When he's not here I watch alot of the Inspiration Channel and Hallmark too.
Hope you all have a good weekend take care and God Bless!

Ahh, the fall TV lineup!
Winona, weren't you a Survior fan? Did you miss it last night?
My interests are Survivor, Amazing Race, any cooking competition and that's about it for me.
In our old house, before we moved, we only had an antennae, high speed internet and phone all for about $100. Now we have AT&T Uverse for about the same per month. It is tv through the phone line or something and of all the channels we get I only like animal planet, Food Network and the kids like a science channel. Everything else is absolutely boring or not available to us. Well, that's OK I guess since I don't want to be sitting all night long watching television anyway!

Alas, no TV for us since Caleb challenged it to a duel with a wooden block. ;) Before that, Chris and I would watch the Tudors through Amazon Prime.

So far my list hasn't really happened. I fueled up one tractor and went and unloaded bales off trailer then took tractor out to new field to start gathering bales. DH came and picked me up and we went and filled airseeder. He ran out of that too. I just got back and cleaned my hotspot I have been wanting to do all week then headed over and checked some cows and we had a dead calf. I think lightening struck it. Now DH just left to help neighbor and I am fixin to head out and row bales and bring in 1 load on my way home. I wont have a tractor to unload it till DH is home tonight. I need to have DD wash floor in walk in cooler when she gets home as there is something sticky in there. ugh
We haven't had satellite in 20 years but we are just getting it to watch football unless someone knows how to watch football online for free. We aren't real big tv watchers. Around 7 or so we might turn it on. Kids have to have homework done before they can watch. We like Duck Dynasty, Greys Anatomy (I), Longmire, Burn Notice as you can see these are off Netflix.
-
I'm looking forward to the new season of NCIS:LA, Criminal Minds, CSI, Revenge, and Master Chef Jr, where kids are contestants, that is going to be so fun! Winona, I'll probably pass on The Voice also. Ceelo is ok, but I cannot stand Christina, she is so full of herself. I will miss seeing Blake though, he makes the show,lol.

Alice,
I have watched a few seasons of Survivor, but just didn't get into this season. So I pretty much skipped the whole thing. LOL
I hardly ever miss Judge Judy, though.Since she is on right now, I am off to watch her. 8) By the way, I did not watch her while Kevin was at home on vacation. He really dislikes her. I would rather not watch her than hear his snarls about her. LOL
Blessings,
Winona

My favorite shows are big bang theory and downton abbey (for the clothes! i wish I could get away with wearing clothes like theirs) Those are the only new shows I watch. The rest are all old reruns that i never tire of. Friends, seinfeld, frasier, simpsons, king of the hill... all of the ones that were popular during my teen/high school years.
-
We love Duck Dynasty, Longmire, American Hoggers to name a few. Duck dynasty was hilarious this past Wednesday. I also like cooking shows. And I watch alot of the news. I probably shouldnt. So much negativity on there. But I have to watch it daily.
-
I often have the TV on as background noise during the day but I am trying to cut back on that. I have been trying to leave it off until lunch at least. I tend to leave on Turner Classic Movies because I am a movie nut but I also watch reruns of Bones and Law & Order. At night, the girls or Doug usually pick what we watch. Well, they watch. I usually read and only glance at what they are watching. When the new seasons start, I will watch Elementary, CSI and Grey's Anatomy but I use the OnDemand feature and watch during the day when I am home by myself. Doug usually watches sports as well as Pawn Stars, American Pickers and a few shows on HGTV. Molly is a HUGE fan of all of the movies on the Hallmark Movie Channel. On Saturdays, we usually watch a movie. I watch Downton Abbey and Call the Midwife using the OnDemand feature, too or on Netflix or DVD.

Denise,
I'm trying to find the Hallmark channel and I can't even find it on AT&T's lineup. Any ideas anyone on what channel that is? I love Hallmark movies!
Alice

Alice - We have Comcast and have a special bundle package so we have both the Hallmark Channel and the Hallmark Movie Channel. The movie channel mostly shows movies except for episodes of Matlock, Murder She Wrote and a few other mystery shows. Perhaps the AT&T website will show a channel line up for you.
