Got started a little late this day, but the coffee is ready. Help yourselves.

Seems like we inspired Stories Spacers are all getting a late start. But better late than never, thus sayeth the old cliche'. That is especially true when there are cookie jars filled with Sara's cookies and both the coffee pot and tea kettle are ready to provide their own variation of caffeinated fluid to go with dem cookies.

Y'all enjoy your late start.

Thank you all for thinking of her and keeping her in your prayers the next step is that she will have a pacemaker put in tomorrow and will need to take time to heal. So please keep her in your thoughts for a speedy recovery.

We had a good time plus we needed a little retail therapy.

Morning to all inspired Stories Spacers who enter seeking coffee or tea and a sampling of Sara's cookies.

In the skimpy, C19 fun news category comes the following:

Burger King Italy has playfully added another layer to social distancing with the debut of a new Whopper , triple-loaded with onions, to keep others at a safe physical distance amid the pandemic.

I'm here to report that there is hot fresh coffee and water for DIY tea plus a generous supply of Sara's cookies -- that is except for the oatmeal raisin. ;)

It happened at a church summer camp so it must be true, right? ;)

Hi, there friends. I've been experiencing computer issues. My newest machine will not accept typing. I'm using my relic that has it's issues as well. Bear with me.

I'm happy with the java, Bill. Time I had my 2nd cup.

Finally back home, where I can drop by and say Hi! My Pear tree blossomed on time this Spring but my dogwoods are all just blossoming now, and my apple trees have just began to blossom. With all the rain the past few years, just about my entire tree cove has doubled in height! No exaggeration. I am hoping to put in some poplars and maples. Then I will have a nice tightly cropped mix of about 6 deciduous and 2 conifer,types. The first six types are tightly planted to insure competitiveness for sunlight. The reason for it is to produce trees with the harder wood than trees that are spaced on a tree farm.

First order of business is the update

latest update on my momma . Her surgery was a huge success and now she is resting comfortably. The pacemaker should keep her ticker in check a long recovery ahead
Please keep the people of the state of Virginia in your thoughts The southwest side is dealing with lots and lots of flooding someone said its worse than the one in 1985

Second order :
Good to see you back around this neck of the woods again Tiger.

Remember it's a holiday weekend(Memorial) so please be careful and remember the reason for the holiday
In celebration of Memorial Day weekend we have fun cookies shaped like flags and flip flops and stars
All are frosted red white and blue and diabetic friendly too

Hello everyone! Nice to get a chance to pop on here and catch up with all your news!

So glad to hear your momma is recovering from her op Sara. Big hugs to you!

It's a Bank Holiday this side of the pond, but no special commemoration, just a rather uninspired 'Late Spring Bank Holiday'! Not very spring-like today as it's cold with gale-force winds!

I'll grab a coffee and some of Sara's delicious sounding cookies.

23 May 2020

So nice to see you, Cynthia. We are having perfect Spring weather here. Just beautiful.

I'll have a cuppa java as well. Sara's treats are never ending here.

How y'all are? Always a good day when it begins with and early morning visit from our Henrietta-unit. Someday, someone might be able to clue me in on the backstory of 'Bank Holidays'. No doubt it's tedious and boring but then so is my life story. ;)

The really good news is Ms H. did not take all the cookies prepared by Ms S., he says, cryptically.

Later Spacers.

Not sure about the UK but in Canada, a "Bank Holiday" is when government offices and regulated corporations, like banks, get a holiday but the rest of us do not. Schools often get them, too. For instance, at Easter, Good Friday is a a statutory holiday, meaning everyone gets it off, but Easter Monday is a bank holiday, meaning government offices and schools are closed, but most everything else is business as usual.

Sonja did not have a cat. So why was this one making itself at home in her house?

Hello, Larry! *waves* Morning, Scott!

Sara, that is the best news about your momma. So glad she is recovering well. Big Hugs

Rumps, on the origins of Bank Holidays, I thought you might like this little snippet from the UK.

[quote=] The curious history of our official bank holidays begins in 1871, when they were first recognised in an Act of Parliament authored by Sir John Lubbock. He was a banker who, it is said, was so keen on cricket he chose dates when village matches were played in his home county.

Hi, Cynthia. Time we had the first cuppa java. Fresh and ready. As is the water for the tea.

Makes sense. Tie long weekends to a sport that requires a long weekend to finish a match. evil4

Good day, all. Nice weather here in spite of a forecast that insists otherwise.

Tea and cookies time.

How y'all are? Me, I'm now well and truly elucidated, at least about 'Bank Holidays' by our chief of elucidation, Henrietta. Many thanks to her and to Larry and Scott for not getting in her way. ;)

Now to fill my mug with hot coffee and then check out the cookies situation.

hi everyone
It is a beautiful day outside even if its a little windy.
The usual Memorial Day celebration in my town were cancelled because of the coronavirus but people seem to be finding their own way to celebrate the fallen.
I think the neighbors are planning a BBQ.
A large sweet tea pretty please

Happy Memorial Day
I have extra special Memorial Day cookies they are decorated with the uniforms of the branches of the US military. They are diabetic friendly.

*update on Mom she will go home possibly tomorrow. Her blood sugar today concerned the doctor and the flooding that happened earlier this week isn't helping the situation of travel... It's a MESS there *

Other than that not much going on here. Remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

Morning everyone!

I will grab a coffee and one of Sara's delicious cookies. Hope your mom's blood sugar has normalised and her doctor is happier with her progress. And the floods looked terrible! Keep us posted, Sara. Great to hear there's another Scamp story on the way!

A hazily sunny day here today and looks like it will be warm-ish too.

26 May 2020

CURVY! I'll add a big 'Amen!' to everything you posted, especially the news about Sara's mother.

And since you finished off the pot of day-old coffee, I'll rinse it out and fill it with some off-brand coffee Mr. Mendalla left under the counter. Pristine 'Inspirations' water has been added to the coffee pot and the tea kettle.

So if it meets with your approval, I'll grab some cookies, fill my mug with the new coffee and then join you.

The rest of y'all do the best you know how.

Good morning, all. The coffee is freshly brewed with Arabica. And, of course, we have plenty of hot water for the tea drinkers here.

I was ecstatic yesterday when I came up with a fix to my computer. I had already made an appointment to have it worked on at a business over in the Kansas City metro area. Anyway, it is working now. I keep forgetting how dependent I am on this computer working right.

Hope all are having a great morning or evening, as the case may be.

Glad I am to hear your 'puter has gotten back on the straight and narrow. Someday, I'll get a VA BROS (blind rehab outreach specialist) to stop by and set up my new computer which remains boxed and waiting to be assembled in a VA approved manner. This here 'Lockdown' is a drag. ;)

Good coffee, Larry. Great cookies, Sara. Y'all have a great day the, Stories Spacer, way.

So we have a new 43 inch television. To go with a new internet and television service being connected this morning whenever the technician arrives. It is just so very complicated for me.

I need that coffee. It is finally brewed and ready. Now, sit back and wait for the installation person.
