Good morning.

April @thislittlepennyearns (63442) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 6 Feb

I figured I would stop in and say hi before starting some cleaning that needs to be done around the house. I started a load of laundry and cleaned out the wax warmer so I could put new scents in it. I am getting ready to sprinkle...

Ron Rybs I was wondering what a wax warmer was, now I know!

Good Morning myLot!

Kareng @kareng (66484) • United States 6 Feb

We have made it to Thursday and one day closer to the weekend! I am all done with my outdoor chores of feeding all the animals. I stayed outside because the sun was trying to peek out and picked up more limbs and re-lit the...

Late morning check in.

April @thislittlepennyearns (63442) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 6 Feb

Hey there! I’ve finished up everything I wanted to do this morning, which feels great! I just need to switch the laundry one more time, but that’s no biggie. Chris popped by for a quick visit before getting back on the tractor. I...

Ron Rybs I am not a fan of Mac and cheese, not at all sure why that is. I have some pork steaks which sound good for tonight

Grocery delivery!

April @thislittlepennyearns (63442) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 6 Feb

I'm about halfway done putting away the grocery order. I always try to grab stuff the kids can make on their own or munch on. I get so carried away with loading up that I forget how much I’m actually getting and how much space we...

I Traded One Addiction for Another

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (27) • United States 6 Feb

Sigh. I used to be, well I still am, but I don't act upon it, but I used to be addicted to chocolate bars. Chocolate in general. Eight months ago I gave up chocolate and had always been eating chocolate-flavored protein bars...

Finally a Sure Sign of Spring!

Kareng @kareng (66484) • United States 6 Feb

You all know I have been not so patiently awaiting the arrival of Spring! Today when I was outside and doing chicken chores, I noticed that the wild daffodils were starting to spring up. I had been watching for them since they...

So Many People are Sick!

Kareng @kareng (66484) • United States 6 Feb

I've had one set of my grandkids sick last week for at least 7 days and missing school with the flu. Monday they went back to school. Tuesday my grandson woke up feeling horrible and my daughter felt his head and found him...

Ron Rybs When I watch the US news shows, on YouTube, I have noticed there is a lot about the flu epidemic. We seem to be over the worst in the UK, I hope!

Chalking It Up For the Night- Good Night All!

Kareng @kareng (66484) • United States 6 Feb

Ron Rybs I don't have a TV in the bedroom, at least for me, I think it disturbs my sleeping rhythm... when insomnia doesn't!

We had two days away in the motor-home

Judy Evans @JudyEv (345282) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Feb

I’m sorry I didn’t let my myLot friends know that I’d be missing for a few days. We took our new (to us) motor-home away for two nights to get used to it and to get any bugs ironed out, which means fix any small problems. We...

I woke myself up early!

Fleur @Fleura (30928) • United Kingdom 7 Feb

I hate alarm clocks (it doesn’t feel at all natural to wake with a jump every day) but my partner is dependent on one, he will just sleep until mid-afternoon unless something wakes him. So we have compromised with a clock-radio,...

Going to Start Line Dancing

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (27) • United States 7 Feb

Did I already tell you this? A friend of a friend told us about this place where she pays $5 to take line dancing classes. It sounds like fun! You get to dance plus get movement/exercise at the same time. And it gets you out...

Sometimes it’s the little things

Fleur @Fleura (30928) • United Kingdom 7 Feb

I just got a big kiss from my partner – because I was just making him a cup of tea as he came dashing from one online meeting with just a minute to spare to go to the toilet and grab a drink before starting the next. Sometimes...

I'll Be Darned If It Didn't Happen Again!

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (27) • United States 7 Feb

This is incredible. Twice in two weeks we've been food-shamed by servers in restaurants. This time our young male server named Will, who we've had several many times before, said, "I don't mean to shame anybody or anything, but...

A new item on my bucket list

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42220) • United States 7 Feb

Do you have a bucket list? Mine previously included going to Scotland to visit a childhood friend, but too old for that now. But recently I've facetiously added two trips I want to take. One is to Brazil and one is to...

Strange Things Are Happening

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (82251) • Daytona Beach, Florida 7 Feb

It seemed every day I was reading about plane crashes. Today I also saw a small plane had crashed down and landed on a bus. Almost makes you not want to go outside. Who knows what might land on you? Then in Alaska, we have a plane...
