Lori did you see all six photos?  Did you even see any photos?

So frustrating. I'm going out to power wash. Easier to understand!!!

Yes, all of them show because the link goes to the album. Look at the URLs in your post; they are the same.

That isn't a big deal, but if you want to post a single picture instead of the whole album, you'll need the link to the image.

I just signed up for Flickr Pro myself, so I am still figuring it out, too.

Thanks Lori. Taking a break from power washing.  Need to give my arms a break.  Found out I'm no 40 any more.

Power washing can be hazardous.  Please be careful.


Chrissy

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Thanks, Chrissy.  At least the power washer has an on/off switch that works, versus computer programs that don't...

All done for the day, too.

I often notify my computer that I am in charge. I am the Amighty Keeper of the Power Cord, and if it wants to act up, I can make it stop instantly.

It still ignores me, but I feel better after yanking the plug from the wall to prove my point.

That can work if the device has no battery power!

Chrissy, I can always pull the battery!!!

I have today off, so I am back to power washing.  We're supposed to get to 80 degrees Fahrenheit today (26 Celsius for the more advanced cultures...😁).

Take care.

Treasure hunting was always exciting, Chrissy. Gearing up itself was exciting.

After Hurricane Sandy, my community built a series of barrier dunes on the bay and ocean sides. In my basement, I have a sump pump system with a backup. Everything outside is secured and bungied down. Hopefully, that should be enough.

Thanks for asking!

I hope wind damage is minimal too for you.

Bad weather is driving up insurance rates in many parts of the country.

We can fix things, but people sometimes get hurt really bad or die.  That is sad.

At least you may not get a lot of snow from this storm.

Could have fooled me. 😛 You look younger than I do, Emma.

I saw some stuff on Sandy. That was wild.

Fortunately, the Nor'easter was just a windy rainstorm.  Other than a few fallen branches, we did ok.  Besides, we needed the rain!

Hi Emma,

We have received a surprisingly little wind so far.  I left some plastic pots outside and they are pretty much where I left them yesterday after putting plants into the ground for winter.

Marion, fortunately, the storm was more drama for the weather people. We only had a few branches littering the yard. The rain was actually welcome. We had a long dry spell.

I had my first sub teaching day yesterday.  It was great to see everyone again and it felt good that people were happy to see me.  Even some of the students remembered my name.

Really weird turning 70 tomorrow. I found an old photo of my dad on his 70th birthday and he looked old.  I'm just not feeling "70" and I think it is a good thing. Having a birthday sure beats not have another.

Happy birthday, Emma!
You don't look 70. I'm 68 and I thought I was older than you!

Glad you had a great first day at school.

Keep having birthdays. We aren't done with you yet.

I certainly can't complain about my age with this group of friends!!!❤️

Davina, I'm with you on the creaky knees.  They both scream at me!

Ellen, every birthday is worth it.  I have a sign in my office that reads:

                      "Carpe Diem.  You're dead a long time."

I have taken that to heart.  I love that everyone here is out living life in their own interesting ways.

Lori, the media is nothing buy clickbait lately sandwiched between drug commercials.

Tomorrow I was invited to my second bourbon tasting party.  They have upped the ante, only bourbons 90 proof or more.  I have already ordered a replacement liver from Amazon...

Starting my birthday, Friday, with a bang...or a hangover!
