Let’s get going again

I've had a very unproductive summer so I really didn't have much to blog about. Then when I tried to blog, the app I've used for years to write posts said I was not authorized. So when I tried the old original way, its letting me. I have no idea why. But my posts may look differnt because the app was easier for editing. My husband has had several back treatments and they help but none have lasted as long as doctors predicted they could. I'm still trying to work around my low energy levels. My doctor ran lots of tests but nothing conclusive and nothing has helped. So I don't exactly live up to Do Stuff motto right now. but thats enough complaining. Today, I cooked my husband and I some breakfast. We both had sausage, a fried egg and half a slice of homemade bread toasted. The other other half of toast is under my egg.
Then we went to our local hospital so my husband could get another back treatment
There was a big pile of discards from our home and our daughters home in our dining room all summer. I had given away a few of the things as people requested them on our local Facebook Buy Nothing. Yesterday, one grandson helped me take all the clothes to a thrift store. Then today I listed the rest of it on Buy Nothing. as people requested things, I put their names on it and put them in front of our house.
Supper was taco meat from the freezer. I had a layered bowl and husband had soft tacos.
now that the dining room is clear of donations, I put new placemats on the table. I only went to one yard sale all summer and I got these placemats as part of a $5 bag full purchase. I really like how they look in this room. I tried a new cookie recipe today https://www.theenglishkitchen.co/2025/04/six-classic-oatmeal-cookies.html It's simple recipe that makes 6 big oatmeal cookies. I added pecans and more cinnamon to mine. They are a keeper recipe. Thank you everyone who commented on my test posts. I was not expecting anyone to even see them so hopefully I can get back to visiting with you all I hope this post looks OK, on my Ipad, I can't see the photos until post publishes. ❤ Rhonda

  1. well this post doesn’t look like I’d prefer. It doesn’t space between things and I can’t get the cookie recipe to link in the post

  3. It's good to hear from you.
    I'm sorry your husband is in pain.
    We got rear ended while sitting still
    waiting for the cars in front of us to turn.
    My husband's getting all kinds of treatment too.
    Still in pain though.
    I've had a hard time getting things
    done this summer too. Just too hot and I have been sick most of the summer.
    But falls arrived and hopefully we will both feel more perky with the cooler weather.

  5. So glad to see you back! I came by to see a reminder of how you prep and store your salad veggies for the week and now I'm extra glad I did!

  7. Glad to see you posting again. Just everyday doings by folks is interesting to me. Since we are both retired, our lives are much slower and we like it that way.

    We are both healthy, but it seems there is always an appointment to go to. Labs, doctor, eye doctor, dermatologist, and a specialist or 2 when our regular doc wants another opinion on a test or something. We are 78 and 82, so things wear out I guess!

    We attend a monthly breakfast for retirees of the last school where DH taught/coached. It is so fun to catch up with everyone. Participation can be as few as 6 or 7, or up to 20---depending on people's schedules or trips.

    As always, I admire the chopped and placed items for the taco night. Thanks for all the photos.
