@Therapist4u @catwoman500   Another trumpet vine has shown up!  This one where is was planted near the arbor.  The third I am afraid has been dug u and not properly replanted by the furry ones.

Just a handy-dandy hint.  If you use the Reply▽ option beneath a certain post, your reply will appear below that particular post, which makes it seem out of whack.  If you use the Reply to the topic... option at the bottom, it will fall in line with the whole thread (with newest posts at top or bottom depending on your settings).

Hi @MsStretch !  

Thanks for the heads up....

Since I’m not ...as they say..... “tech savvy”....(nor that smart anyway....LOL!) if we are trying to post to a specific PorchPeep...like I am here to you....the ‘tag’ is supposed to notify you, or like some get emails **(I only get a few seemingly random notifications)  & since some peeps can only come here once or twice a week,... replies may take a while) & then it does seem to get ‘lost’ in the shuffle over time....

However... if we are trying to post to a specific PorchPeep, but we post a “Reply to the topic”... then how would an ‘esteemed member’ know to look for it? ....such as yourself....or @LaDolceVita @catwoman500 Nicole @SummerOnTheWay1 & Lee @LeeS4949 (& others of course) and Froze! @Frozenoem [Well...I hope he’s OK ...(if someone’s talked to, or with  him, be it a chat, a PM or phone call & could let us know, it would be a great relief!) ) & I do miss his wit & wisdom....]

(Also ...it’s always easy to post a message to Dave @DaveMcK ...as he has posts almost every day)

Anyway,....Thanks for the ‘handy-dandy hint’ info & trying to help!

Hope you, your FAM, & your adopted FURKIDS...are enjoying the nicer weather!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!

As always...Stay safe....&...Take care!

@Therapist4u   Tsk, tsk, do not sell yourself so short.  @MsStretch  I did not know about different reply options, always respond to individual posts.

Tens of thousands without power, schools canceled after storms

Tornadoes reported west of Wausau, Wisconsin on Tuesday night, leaving widespread damage.

May 21st Storm Damage 

Here are a few images from the storm damage in the Madison, Wis area. Nowhere near the carnage of Iowa, so we got very lucky. Forty some thousand where without power. It could take days to restore power to the west side of the metro area.

@Therapist4u , sorry I've been lax on catching up.  Belated thanks for the Mom's Day greeting even though I'm not a mother (unless you count the adopted furkids 😉). 

 

@LaDolceVita , l♡ved the picture of Janie and Tiggy.

 

@Frozenoem , take care of yourself.

 

Everyone, stay 🆒.  Summer is just beginning.

 Hi Nicole!

@SummerOnTheWay1

 

What’s happening is that some of my FAV PORCH PEEPS, besides you & Dave @DaveMcK, are not seeing my replies to the messages they posted to  me. For example, I wished a HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY on 05-11-2024 and 05-10-2024 to @catwoman500 @MsStretch  and @LaDolceVita & don’t know if any of them saw my messages.

 

like in these links: to @LaDolceVita https://community.aarp.org/t5/Our-Front-Porch/MORNING-ROLL-CALL-2024/m-p/2555911#M84978

to @catwoman500 https://community.aarp.org/t5/Our-Front-Porch/MORNING-ROLL-CALL-2024/m-p/2555914#M84979

and @MsStretch  https://community.aarp.org/t5/Our-Front-Porch/MORNING-ROLL-CALL-2024/m-p/2555915#M84980

 

so if they happen to see this, I’ll say again:

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO YOU!

Hope you’re all doing well! Please have a wonderful week too!

Stay safe....&...Take care!

Also where am I supposed to start a new post within the PORCH, for peeps to see & comment if they wanted to, like to share my new flowers?

 MY NEW FLOWERS

 

Anyhoot.... we’ll talk again later

my 4EVAH FRIEND!

Good morning to all of you FRONT PORCHERS out there! Do you have plans for a Summer vacation yet?

We will be returning to our timeshare at Lake Geneva over Labor Day weekend. Our family will be able to swim, golf, bike and walk.

We are due to have another boat tour of the lake again. 

We fix most of our meals with everyone taking turns.

Got it, bought one camp like that, granite slabs, come along and a winch took care of it. Presently only one oak tree in green or budding out. Probably because it late Spring temp 44 and that’s with full sun.

 

I live but won’t be mobile for awhile, had to take a cross country ride ATV and will be paying for it, for a month or until temps remain in 60’s.Until then it’s med’s and PT.I’m not 60 anymore.

 

Attempted capture of Northern lights twice , not happening this time.,hope all are well, I’ll be off line for awhile movement is a nono except PT.



Froze

And yes, after long days/nights, I'd still like to swing these hunks of glass , plastic and silicon against the nearest wall Come on retirement!
