Happy Day All!
Just want to start us off with a question, then must get to laundry and cleaning out the fridge where something leaked and left a mess on almost all the shelves! Really yucky!
The other day was visiting a neighbor and her foot itched. She said there's an old Southern saying that says when your foot itches you're going to walk on new dirt. She had to explain it to me, that the new dirt part was you were going to go to a place you'd never been. Hmmm... It got me thinking about sayings like that. My mom used to say that when your palm itched you were going to get money and when your nose itched you were going to kiss a fool!
Wanted to ask y'all to post others that you've learned over the years. I'll bet there's a bunch of good ones out there with this crowd (or from anyone else who happens to read this - join in!)
Dayle and Emily - any problems with the aftershock? Hope not!
Will check back later. Have a great day! Cheers!

My Mom had a lot of them, "see a penny, pick it up, then all day you'll have good luck" "see a penny, let it lay, then bad luck will come your way."
Stepping in dog poop is good luck.
Right palm was get money, left palm you would be giving out money.
Black cat walking across your path was bad luck.
No walking under ladders.

My Mom's favorite was Pretty is as Pretty does.
If your friend jumped off the bridge would you do it, too?
Finish your food, there are kids starving to death in China ( or many other places she could think of) Always wanted to tell her well , lets send it to them!! But did I ? NO!!
Close that door , were you born in a barn. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I am going to head out later to the small grocery store. It is so busy in the mornings, decided to wait a bit. I need a can of Cream of Chicken soup, I hate it when I am sure I have something but it is not in there. Oh well, short trip and just hope they have some. Can't use the Cream of Mushroom as my DSIL hates mushrooms.
Might check to see if they have the small watermelons. My DGGS loves them.

Good morning. Went for coffee this morning and found that the steps were much easier today. Think because I knew I could do it I wasn't so nervous about it. My knee is feeling better today. Always aches but not as bad as it was yesterday. Haven't done my exercises yet. Only saying I remember is Step on a crack, break your mothers back. Not sure that makes any sense but I heard it a lot. We lived on a farm, no sidewalks so no cracks.
Thinking about going to Aldi sometime today. Need some bananas maybe some other fruit and want some canned peaches. The brand of peaches they have are the best ones I've found.
Lots of talk about the eclipse happening on Monday. Suppose to be cloudy here but we're not in a good path to see it anyway. The best path will be south of us.
Very restless night so kind of sleepy this morning. bettyj

Morning All!
Things have quieted down since yesterdayâs excitement. Weâve had a few aftershocks, only one measuring anything most people could feel â the others no shaking just scientific monitors picking up their activity. That and the princess that is. Sheâs had a few bouts of barking, one very early this morning with no visible reason showing anywhere. Those sensitive little ears of hers⊠They will do me in. Sheâs 12 years old today, btw, and acting very much like she knows itâs her special day.
Emily saw pictures of those three houses damaged yesterday. They all have major leaning issues. Shame that those people have to evacuate and lose their homes. Glad you are safe, small blessings.
My sister just sent me some pictures of her 2-year-old grandson and Grandpa going to a Home Depot workshop together. This little one has been to more places and done so much more in his short life than I ever did. No wonder he is so bright and outgoing. Anyway, the final result is that he and Grandpa built what looks like a wooden cup holder or bird feeder for their efforts. Hard to know which one of them had more fun. It makes me smile knowing how close these two are. I never knew either of my Grandfathers â long gone before I was born.
Geri, sorry you are having such trouble with your IPad. I know giving in and purchasing a new one is a tough decision and is a big hit on the budget. Sounds like you really use it a lot though, and that in itself is a reason to go new. Just think how much fun and how frustrating getting used to the new one will be!
Penny I know exactly what you are talking about â here we called them âFranny-ismsâ â my mother had some doozies. For the life of me, canât think of any right now, but will think on the subject during the day and get back to you on that. I know some of them canât be repeatedâŠ..
Filled one storage bin yesterday and will try and do another today. I have 3 different sizes in my closet and need to organize so I can find clothes to wear. Hate to admit it, but right now, I am in the largest of sizesâŠ..
Wishing all a pleasant day!
Dayle

Good afternoon,
We are ok in my part of NJ. The 3 houses in Newark are really leaning on each other and it made the Channel 2, 4 & 7 news yesterday. Had to be scary. So far all is calm today.
Not much going on here. Will go to 5pm mass and then home. Think I will do some knitting tonight. Tired of reading.
Have a great day!

Emily, those homes made the news down here in Florida.
Dayle, Brenna is 13 and sleeps a lot although she is pretty alert. But this morning was full of energy. Barking at me for treats, not lying down, going into the kitchen and calling me in there. Never took a nap until about one. Silly dogs, they have us trained, don't they?
I got a good deal on the iPad. I had gift cards for Amazon that I hadn't used. Glad I didn't. And it was the best price, ever better than Costco. I wish it would get here. I use it a lot, reading, games, more than I use the phone.

Hello everyone
Beautiful sunny day
Picked up a grocery order today. Bought a Powerball ticket for tonightâs drawing. Didnât do anything else. Played my iPad games.
Worked on my volunteer job a little today. I have an event coming on Thursday.
My mom would say âbetter than a stick in your eyeâ if we were disappointed at something. I carried that tradition and our daughters still say it. lol lol
