Talked To My Homebound Friend

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (24) • United States 21 Feb

I have a friend who has severe health problems and is homebound. They used to call these people invalids. Her adult son lives with her and takes care of her. She hasn't left the house in 5+ years. She has a home health care...

It's Easter Candy Time

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (24) • United States 21 Feb

The stores now have some of the Easter Candy out on their shelves. There is one that I find absolutely irresistible and it only comes out this time each year. It's in the photo attached, taken by me, of Hershey's candy-coated...

Another quenda to admire

Judy Evans @JudyEv (346592) • Rockingham, Australia 21 Feb

We stayed with my brother-in-law the other day and had our morning coffee under the patio. He has a large block which has a lot of vegetation including many native species. This is the ideal environment for the Australian...

Old-fashioned perambulators

Judy Evans @JudyEv (346592) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Feb

When we were first married, just about everything we had was second-hand or hand-me-downs. Even my maternity dresses were given to me by a friend. I think I made myself maybe one or two new ones. We were given a cane pram like...

Turn your pennies twice

Judy Evans @JudyEv (346592) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Feb

I wrote recently about a saying I hadn’t heard before. Our German friend used it. Translated from her native language, it was ‘making an elephant out of a mouse’. Tonight, she used another one she’d translated and that we hadn’t...

Ron Rybs Interesting how sayings are different from country to country. Some of them don't translate too well, I think

Aliens

Judy Story @jstory07 (141878) • Roseburg, Oregon 19 Feb

Do you think there are people from space living among us. I think there could be. They look like us. They act like us. They live among us. Who is to say that they are not here. By now they could be us. They have been here...

Kareng @kareng (68255) • United States 19 Feb

I got up late because there was NO reason to get up! It is cold here and was in the 20's with the wind chill still at 1 pm. I managed to get all the animals fed and watered before noon and came inside to chill with a cup of hot...

What's for din? February 19th 2025

April @thislittlepennyearns (63529) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 19 Feb

Its been a bit since I've done one of these. Which is funny because I have pictures of the last several nights of food. But anyway, I figured I would throw this out there. It wasn't an exciting dinner, but both kids had medical...

A very red post box

Judy Evans @JudyEv (346592) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Feb

The photo shows a pillar/post box which was in the Collie Museum. Unfortunately, I can’t read the sign so I don’t know how old it is but the town was gazetted in 1897. This is a handsome-looking post box with the details picked...

It's Frigid Cold Here this Morning

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (24) • United States 20 Feb

As you can see from the screenshot from my phone, it's currently only in the single digits here, 8F degrees but feels like negative 1F degrees. That's really, really cold. The expected high today is only going to be 21F degrees....

April @thislittlepennyearns (63529) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 20 Feb

I was going to try to be here earlier but after school drop off we went and ate breakfast at Wendy's. Say what you want about fast food, but Wendy's is far superior. Especially their breakfasts. If you haven't had it, you should...

A phonograph with two horns

Judy Evans @JudyEv (346592) • Rockingham, Australia 12 Feb

Today’s photo from the Collie Museum is of a phonograph with two horns. The original phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison in 1877 and dual horn type began appearing in the late 1890s to early 1900s. One of the reasons for...
