Heather Echola I have never traveled by train but I think I would like to.

My parents got a ginger cat for themselves

Greenery8 @grenery8 (18179) • Zagreb, Croatia (Hrvatska) 5h

My mum will be 66 on August 9 and dad will be 70 on September 23. Are they too old for cats or things aren't the same as they were, being not too excited for having a pet? The neighbour lady was stalling with giving out the cat...

Heather Echola Cats can be good companions or hard taskmasters as it suits them. I am glad they got the cat they wanted. I am older than both of them and I have a cat. Or he has me.

Peachy tea

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (164593) • United States 9h

Do you remember me saying that as I peeled and sliced the peaches I would put them in lemon water to prevent browning? I did that all the way through. Each time, though, I saved the water. That lemon water also had bits of peach...

Coming and Going

Jim Bauer @porwest (102592) • United States 6 Jul

Don't get me wrong. We love our camps, and so far, this year we have done 3 of them. One in April, one in May, we skipped June, and we just finished one of two camps scheduled for July. We'll be on another one in just two or three...

Heather Echola Getting ready for any trip is the hard part for me, and the longer I spend on it the more I take, whether I need it or not. I cannot imagine pulling a camper along with it.

Okay maybe I will head over to the pool

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (123500) • United States 10h

The forecast was for rain and storms all day but it is sunny and the radar is clear. Why not? I've already done laundry and dishes. I've made pickled carrots. I've refreshed the sourdough starter. (more on that later) The Roomba...

Kareng @kareng (76967) • United States 6 Jul

We had no problems on our way down to pick up the boat. My husband was freaking out because we were so close to Mexico, which was within an hour's drive of where we picked the boat up. That brought back memories of visiting my...

1965

LindaOH @LindaOHio (193755) • United States 16h

I could talk forever about the 1960s and 70s; but here's some trivia about 1965: Minimum wage was $1.25 - I worked at the library from the age of 14-17. Because I was a student, I was paid $.70 per hour. The college kids...

Heather Echola Let's see . . The car looks familiar. I was twelve years old when you graduated. Or almost twelve, my birthday is in August. Seventh grade. I was a sad and scrawny kid with a younger brother and a two year old sister.

His Tooth Broke

Marie @Tampa_girl7 (52828) • United States 6 Jul

My poor husband broke the bottom part of one of his upper front teeth when he was a teenager. He was swimming and somehow hit it on the concrete pool. It was repaired and lasted until yesterday. I guess after nearly 50 years it...

Heather Echola It will be good to see the dentist, because there might be some underlying decay that weakened it. I hope not. I am glad it does not hurt. 50 years is a good run.

Heather Echola She has nice nails. This takes me back to about her age. Avon had a system with several colors plus a white polish. The colors looked a bit muted, but if you painted your nails white then added the color over it they were neon. So cool! My mom's comment about...

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (60) • United States 6 Jul

Heather Echola Usually I do check them in the car but not always. Only time there was a problem it was with their system not registering the discounts and it said so on the receipt and said how to fix it by calling.
