I thought I'd bring some towels for you girls that are fighting the flooding rains and had to swim to the porch!!! I just cleaned out my linen closet, it was one of my things on my to do list!
I brought some sunshine with me also! Goodness, we've had some hot weather! I couldn't even drive my car yesterday, I had to wrap a t-shirt around the steering wheel...it was so hot! I guess we have a couple more days and then it's supposed to cool down a hare!or is that hair?
We've had the heat index over 100' up to 112' all week!

Hello Everyone! I am back and this is how the trip went.
Well I'm back. Very green, tired, and just plain sick.
We left at 2:15 a.m. Drove all the way to Westport ( 2 and a half hour drive). Got to Westport and meet up with my uncle and 3 of his friends. Ate a very small breakfast at 4:30 and had to quickly jump on the boat at 5:30.
Everything started out great. We went over the bar ( thats the ruffist part of the ocean) and I was doing fine. I was out side on the charter boat and was having so much fun. After 5 minutes being on that boat my sister and brother were already sea sick right by me. I felt so sorry for them.
Anyway, we went out a ways and the captain stoped the boat and we began to fish. I got out their and put my pool in the water and all the sudden I really had to go to the bathroom. I told dad to take my pool and I quickly went to the bathroom. I went in their and after getting hit in the head a few times ( there is nothing to hold on to in the bathroom and the ship is constantly going back and forth, up and down) I threw up all over the floor. So I cleaned that up and then it was down hill from their. From 6:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. I was throwing up none stop and after I had nothing else in my stomach I had dry heaves. My 2 brothers, dad, and sister were all throwing up with me while everyone else on the boat was fishing and having a great time. One of my brothers did not move from the side of the bar for 6 hours and then we finally told him when we were coming in that he needed to stand up or his back would be killing him. My sister and other brother tried to sleep and after sleeping for a few minutes would wake up and you know what. We were all a shade of lime green. We were all feeling much better when the boat would move to anyother point but, man when that boat stoped and started rocking from side to side thats when it would hit us.
We didn't catch any fish that we could keep but when were we getting of the boat our uncle gave us one of his 3 that he caught.
When we finally got home at 7:15 p.m. were we are feeling bad and went to bed. I couldn't even do my goats because it looked like the goat shed, inside of the house, was moving from side to side like the boat. Mom said I was still really green then.
We all found out real fast that none of us have sea legs. lol It was really ruff water and everyone on deck was getting slamed from one side to the other. It was a pretty intresting trip.
This morning I am feeling a little bit better but still feel sea sick.
I have a feeling that none of us are going fishing any time soon.
Hugs,
Channah

Oh Channah I am so sorry that the trip went so bad. If you ever have to to go on a boat again try some ginger tablets first. Right now that is most likely the last thing on your mind. I will fix you a nice cup of tea for your tummy. Maybe some nice chicken soap? Just curl up in a chair here and look and the trees and the flowers. Oh and maybe bypass the rockers for now. You will feel better in no time.
Every Day is a gift from God, Rejoice and be glad in it. |

Channah, I've done that before too, but didn't throw up. I was just nauseous the whole trip and the bar was flat and smooth, just the rocking back and forth. I found the best way to keep things quiet was to sit in the sun and close my eyes. I did that after catching my limit--woohoo!

Thank you so much Marla and Betty!!
When we went over the bar it was really rough but I didn't get sick then. It was just everytime we stopped that I would hurl non stop. My stomach muscles should be in great shape now. lol It doesn't help when people are eating in front of you and you smell fresh dead fish all around you. Oh, well. I did have fun going out and coming back in. lol
Hugs,
Channah

Boy, you really do miss alot when you're gone for a short spell! Darlene, I hope your family is well. LEt us know when you can how the c-section went.
Channah, I can relate to the seasickness, I get really green in rough water too! I'm sorry it didn't go very well
Can't wait for another porch sleep-over. Maybe next time I won't fall asleep 10 minutes into it

Hi and a very heartfelt thank you for all the prayers. The C-Section was very difficult this time. The Doctors had a hard time getting him out the way he was positioned. They had to use a suction device to help extract him and 2 Doctor's were pushing on Kellie's stomach and he finally arrived! Trystan weighed 9lbs 8ozs and is 21in long. Mommy is doing fine and he is breastfeeding without any problems. God is good all of the time not just some time! I went to see them today and helped Kellie shower and brought her some new Coconut shower gel, lotion and perfume from the Bath and Body store. She loves it because it smells like your at the beach! Everyone that came in her room kept saying how great it smelled in there. I'm sorry I didn't get me some! Left hubby with GD because I'm fanatical when it comes to hospitals and little ones. Knowing too much makes you that way!
Channah-ginger will help settle your stomach if you're still sick. I feel for you that is the worst. It happened to my hubby too and needless to say it was his first and last trip!
I'm popping over to the porch to drop off some bread puddng I made this morning along with a frittata. I'm going to tell you the recipe for the pudding because it is so good.
Crock Pot Bread Pudding
8 slices of bread-buttered and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar
6 eggs
1/2c sugar
3c milk
2tsp vanilla
Butter crockpot. Cut bread in large cubes and place in crockpot. Mix eggs and sugar. Add milk and vanilla and mix. Pour over bread. Push bread down to cover. Sprinkle top with more cinnamon sugar. You can add raisins if you like.
Turn on low and cook about 2 hours or until set. Enjoy! Darlene

Thanks for the towels, Monica!!! You're so funny!! We have another week of rain and thunderstorms coming, but we did get to see the sun you brought today and a little more in the morning!!! Yeh!! Thank you for sending it!! I don't envy you the scorching heat....zaps a person's energy!! We had 90s today and high humidty and thought we were going to die!! The porch sounds wonderful this evening!!
Channah, I chatted with you a bit today, and I so hope you're beginning to feel better. The ginger is such a good suggestion from the other gals....I hadn't even thought of that! I hope you get your appetite back soon because it sounds like there will be great food at the porch! I bought some fresh Kiwi today, so am going to slice those, along with peaches and also include some cinnamon bread.
Dana, I think we need to have another porch sleep over too!! How about tomorrow night, girls!! I hope there will be lots of stars and maybe the bats will be flying to keep the mosquitoe population down!!!
Darlene, congratulations on your new grandson!!! So happy he's here and that mom is doing well too! Thanks you so much for your bread pudding recipe!!! I'm making it this weekend....I love bread pudding and your frittata will taste delicious!!!
Everybody up for another sleepover???? Hugs and Smiles, Lin

102 pages! Boy I have been away longer than I thought!! I have been so swamped lately. Starting a new business, and my daughter's wedding got moved up 2 months, from sept. 18 to july 24th! We have been busy. Her fiance' goes to a new duty station next month. In getting all the paperwork ready to go...long story short...his sponsor told him it would be a lot easier with paperwork and such if he showed up to the new base, already married. So...the wedding is coming up soon. Showers, appointments...Oi! For my new business, I have lots of computer stuff, getting things set up, lots of trips to Staples...anyway, I hope to get back into the swing of things here on the forum. I have missed the front porch!
I wear my cap around my waist.

Channah...you poor darling and here I teased you about not foisting "Fish Tales" on us
when you got back from your trip. "Hurling Tales" are far worse. Throwing up for hours
does not sound like fun or an experience I would want to repeat. Your entire Family sounds
like...next time they want fish (which I am sure will be years from now) they should buy
it at the Grocery Store or Fish Market. How nice of your Uncle to give you one of his 3
fish. I can pretty safely guess that you didn't come home and have Mom fix that for dinner.
I have never gone Deep-Sea Fishing and you have now convinced me that I will not be putting
it on MY BUCKET LIST. LOL
Darlene...congratulations Grandma! Wow...what a big baby! No wonder the girl had trouble
delivering that little (big one). Mercy me Tryston is already the size of a 3 month old!
I see Football Player in his future???? Thank you also for the Fabulous Crock-Pot Bread
Pudding Recipe. There goes my 50 lbs lost. ;+) I do have to try that recipe, I don't care
if I have to starve for the whole day that I make it.
We had a half of day of Sunshine today (thank you Monica for sharing)...and then back came
the rain. And the slugs tonight. BUT I am trying the crushed egg shells to see if they will
indeed keep those varmints from eating all my flowers.
Another Slumber Party on the Porch sounds like fun! I love Stary Stary Nights and good
friends!
Blessings,

I have lots of leftovers from the party last night. Strawberry champagne birthday cake for everyone. Walnut sour dough bread, fresh picked Oregon strawberries, veggies and raspberry lemonade.The party was low key and we had fun just chatting. The rain even held off so we could enjoy the backyard. Everyone dig in!

Lin, I'm sorry that there's no sunshine in store for you!
Pam, that cake sounds so good!
I was so busy yesterday; I went from babysitting at my aunt's all day to babysitting again until around 11:20. Long day!
God's Blessings,
