June chitchat

[agate]

Here it is, June. At least some of us should have some fairly decent weather this month even if we're wearing masks and limited in what we can do.

Once a week I've been doing FaceTime with my grandson, for as long as he'll stay in one spot. He loves to dance. He enjoys "playing" the piano, the guitar, and a pitch pipe. That's 3 instruments so far--not bad for age 2.

I chose something orange to wear on the day that happened to be World MS Day though I'd forgotten that. Is orange "our" color?

Is there a mascot, too, and maybe a special cheer?

Any ideas for the Team MS mascot? I'd suggest a turtle or a sloth because they're slow and I'm slow.

Slow about moving Tom Cat's messages over here. I have another one but I haven't got to transferring it yet. I'll do that soon. It's the first of the month, a busy time here.

What has everyone been doing?

Today is our 52nd wedding anniversary. John is outplowing the potato field and I just came in from greenhouse work. We both had excellent farmers’ markets last Saturday but both of us are still exhausted! No time to stop farm work!

[stillstANNding]

Happy Anniversary, Linda. I’m so glad the Farmers’ Mkts are open. Yeah!

When you have time, tell us about your day and what you ate, of course.

It has just been a normal farm day...I worked in the greenhouse and John used his tractor to attack weeds in the potato fields. A friend came and helped with some trailer repairs and took the snow plow off the truck. Just normal stuff. We don’t have any special foods as we are both tired from the markets. Someone just called and is coming over to buy 4 fig trees. Not bad!

A good day here. I went to the store, and checked my mailbox on the way in, and the antenna part was here. I just hooked it up, and it works! I only get 5 channels, compared to the 20 I use to get, but I'll take it. I can stop watching DVDs.

Everyone have a great evening.

[Virginia]

Howie, are the five channels you get ones you like?

[Howie]

Virginia, 2 of them are which is 2 more than I was getting.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO LINDA (LAZARUS) AND JOHN!

Howie, how many are you still missing?

The whole TV situation has me tearing my hair. Aging people who are constantly harking back to the good old days can be a royal pain but I got used to TV being something you turned on and chose from maybe 4 channels. I liked that simplicity. And once you'd bought the TV, you never paid a cent more. Having to pay just to get basic reception, and even then you don't always get the channels you want--that's not my idea of an improvement.

[Howie]

Well, about 15 less than the old setup. The main one is Comet channel. I used to watch that most of the time. It is a sci-fi channel.

[stillstANNding]

Good luck with the IVIG, Sunshine, and the doctors visits. I hope they are all helpful.

Happy Anniversary Linda and John! Sorry I am a day late, but hope your day and evening were great!

:) Good luck Sunshine. Today both Andy and Jim came. Andy did the trash and recycle. Jim worked on the motion sensor security light in back and on my TV. Jim also bought some masks that have inserts . He gave me one and it is very comfortable.

Jim bought a new truck for his business. We are not even halfway through the year and he already has made more money than a whole year before this.

Jim's wife Carla gave notice at the church for the end of June. She has been there 9 years but they have not gotten her any help and she is doing two peoples jobs. Jim is hoping his business continues to be good and she can just retire.

Andy says the county has started taking everyone's temperature when they arrive at work. He and Torre went to the beach on the weekend. I just pray he does not get exposed.

All the rioting, etc. I feel sure will cause more Covid 19. I feel all four of those policemen should be tried for murder and accessory to murder. Trump's tweets are not helping at all. Lets all pray for our country. Jeanie :)
