[…] https://www.bookboardchat.com/activity/p/45579/ Wed, 10 Jun 2026 18:49:22 -0400 Ann, I live in south Florida about 30 miles north of Miami. Hurricanes pass over here every few years or so but don't bother me much. I live in a fourth floor condo with high impact windows so I don't have to worry about flooding, wind damage or trees falling on me. My sister-in-law decided to flee when a hurricane was coming. She drove up to Daytona but then they said the hurricane was heading to Daytona so she drove up to Jacksonville but then they said the hurricane was heading to Jacksonville so she drove up to Georgia then they said the hurricane was heading to Georgia etc. I just stayed here and admired the storm as it blew through. If something were to happen I would want to be here to tackle the problem at once rather than to come back and find that things was gotten worse through neglecting the problem.

My son bought an EV but he is not happy with it. It is going to take a while until he can get a home charging device installed at his house so he has to take it to a charging station and sit there all the time it takes to charge.

We had that happen to us a couple of years ago. So far we've avoided any tornadoes but are expecting bad storms later today again.

Happy Birthday Curt!

Wow Lynne that's the trifecta! Hope nothing else goes. Our TV and our lawnmower died in the same week, but in the good things department, we found thru my cousin a handyman who fixed our disintegrating shed, our tripping hazard front step, and installed spiffy new counters and sink in the bathroom. We've had some very severe storms , three with tornado warnings but thank heaven, they were just storms. We did get hail damage to the cars though, golf ball sized hail. Tornado warnings are very unusual here

Hi Jim, Is your area prone to big storms?
Jane--Sounds like the Grandkids are great people--wishing them the best!

So it was either an EV or a horse. And you can't have just one horse, so a car it was.
The phone was because I was changing service provider due to yet another price increase from someone giving me crappy service, and it wasn't until they were in the process of porting my number they asked me what phone I was using. "Oh we don't support those; the phone will work but you won't be able to contact emergency services"!! Needless to say it didn't work so had to get a new phone the next day.
The vacuum cleaner started screaming at me (bearing probably), so had to get a new one of those, too.

She wants to be a vet. She hopes to be riding for the college team as well.

Sunshine Boy is 16 and a sophomore in high school. He played football last fall and his team won state (he didn't play in the game but was suited up). He's on the golf team this spring and doing well. He really enjoys golfing.

Picture is from the state fair last summer (the short one in the middle is my daughter)

Unfortunately I had to have our beautiful horse put down. It was unexpected since he was enjoying his retirement. Last Sunday he went down and couldn't get up. Vet etc got him back on his feet, did lots of tests etc. On Wednesday he went down again and really was not doing well. So...we had to make a decision. Insurance is requiring a necropsy so maybe we'll find out what happened. He was such a good horse, and we're all quite sad, especially Sunshine Girl.

The flowering trees are gorgeous here and we had some early warmer weather, now back to cooler. Plants are coming up like crazy though. My cousin who moved back here recommended a handy man, who has fixed the crooked/peeling paint/bottom rotting shed doors and the tripping hazard front step. Every time I go out now I am so thankful for solid footing. We are going to have him do more. Slowing down a bit but in good health. We did have a severe storm, very high winds, lots of tornado warnings, golf ball sized hail. Both cars got some dents, but the new roof held up just fine.
Patsy--sorry to hear about the genetic aneurysm, those kinds of things are a family inheritance, not from one person--and you also had no choice how you were born. I have a friend, whose genetic inheritance is being experienced in dangerous ways by two of her children. My brother once found a good friend who had passed away from an aortic aneurysm, and when it it was discovered as cause, they informed the son, who got checked and got it fixed. Someone else in that family had previously passed from it, and it was unfortunate that the flaw was not told to the rest of the family at that time.

Remember back years ago my daughter Chris had brain surgery for a ruptured aneurysm? Well, seems that is modern day what got my daddy, but back then they didn't have the tools or knowledge. It is hereditary but skipped my sister and I. that said -
Surprise, seems I passed it non to ALL 3 of my daughters. Debbie middle daughter who blessed us with 6 grand kids was diagnosed with an aneurysm between her frontal lobes. Lisa, the youngest and the doctor, also has on between her frontal lobes. Debbie had blockage surgery last Wednesday to cut off blood flow to other aneurysm.. Lisa will have hers on 4/23 to have hers blocked. Amazing what they can do today. That said, now all the 9 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren will have to be watched and tested that it doesn't hand down to them. Has. been one hell of a month, and I just feel so totally guilty and helpless they are affected this way...........needless to say, I am wired to the max........... ok, enough if the. bad stuff.....

Good stuff, my eldest GREAT granddaughter will graduate high school next month........ my eldest grandaughter is here in Gainesville and I enjoy her company at times......others scattered. 2 grandsons living here too.... others scattered.

Two kitties and I are doing OK.....keep busy. Don't do Book sorting anymore, when pandemic hit most of we elders had to stay out too long and they replaced us....with younger folk.
I keep busy, but have problems with my right leg so cuts out on working in the yard much anymore. However, I do go to physical therapy twice a week and walk when the weather is nice....dreading the hot summer though....

Gonna try and pop in more, find out what all of you are up to. Please forgive me for "disappearing"

Back in my seafaring days I used go there to load oil on super tankers. We engineers had a schedule where we would take turns supervising the loading and discharging of cargo. The scheduling turned out that I would have my time off on Kharg Island. There was nothing to do there. It only had one seamen's club and nothing else. After a 20 minute walk under the Persian Gulf sun I would get there and was allowed one beer every hour on the hour. Bummer.

Then when we got to the discharge port it would be my turn to stay on board to supervise the discharging. So, I got my time off on Kharg Island and had to stay onboard working in Japan, Rotterdam, etc. Real bummer.

I had never heard of him and so I did a Google search. It seems that Mr. Lauder was one of the most successful entertainers at the beginning of the last century. He would command the equivalent of about $35,000 a night and was the first person to sell over one million records. It is surprising how he would fall out of current history. But then, I have 30 year old grandchildren who have never seen Casablanca. I wonder how many of today's younger generation would have no idea of who Humphrey Bogart was?

My rose bush bloomed again, a surprise from that one. We had a lot of warmer even hot and dry days in Sept / Oct. Glad it's cooler now. Jim--I don't think people in general are as friendly, for example, at events.
Brian--I have some kind, probably wild, grapevines and Virginia Creeper on the chainlink fence in back--I like it for privacy and better looks in the clement seasons. Neighbors have them too--I don't know if I gave it to them or they gave it to me. 🙂
the neighbors got those big metal tub things for their tomatoes and vege--the rabbits and chipmunks decimated last years efforts. They have a hefty crop this year.
I read a new Jesse Stone (new author Christopher Farnsworth, did a good job on it. some dialogue a bit too glib but overall I liked it.) Also read a new Kellerman that I like, Dr Delaware and Milo come through. I am invited to a Book Club with my cousin, they are reading Thursday Murder Club--I know it's popular--my library has a hundred copies out. I didn't tell her I tried to read it before and stopped before the end--but maybe I will be more in the mood for a cozy this attempt.

I liked the short story authors of the early last century like Anderson and James Thurber etc., who wrote of their nutty but whimsically amusing family members. Very amusing.
