November 13, 2025 - Msg 121037: Well Billy Ray, it’s supposed to be sunny up in the N.E. part of our state today. That being said, I’m hoping one more mowing and leaf 🍁 mulching should do it for me...But on the other hand, I’m not OVEREXPECTING.... 🌬🍁 🍂🍁🍂

Hey, good sweep G-F! Looks mighty nice.
I'll put out the plaid wool blankets and the hot chocolate
cups...with a sick of cinnamon in each. Marshmallows optional.
It's gonna turn a little 'colder' on my end of the porch!
Maybe rain on Saturday.
Prayers,
MDC

There was an old hobo named Dave,
Who used "fancy" words, what a knave!
"Tuscarora" was one,
But it 'warped' Opie's fun,
so the bum left town not so brave!

Sorry have been missing but been very busy with work and everything else but wanted to check in and say hello.

Well, we DID indeed get a refreshing rain today!
In fact, at my house, I even got some hail.
Just pea-sized, so no damage.
We are suppose to get some more rain, but we'll see!
Hey to Boo. Hang in there, it will cool down
"eventually!" 🙂

Hello Porchsters, to any and all who are looking in,
I am asking for special prayers for our dear
Possum. She, and her family need prayers right now, and you all
have been so faithful to prayer requests in the past, that
I am asking you for them for her. Thanks so much porch family!
Love, MDC

November 21, 2012 - Msg 91167: Pretty much the same way you described, Boo, except I've never used brown sugar, and would only use 3/4 cup of regular sugar, in deference to my diabetes. It leaves it a bit tart, but I like it that way. I might put 1/4 cup of brown sugar in it, and cut the white sugar to 1/2 cup. I'll bet the brown sugar gives it an interesting taste. I have some turbinado sugar, I'll bet that would work too. I'm with you, I much prefer the homemade kind, but I usually buy one can of the jellied stuff, for those who just think they have to have it. I even cut out both ends of the can so I can get it out whole and unbroken, then slice it into elegant little slices (a left-over practice from my mom), but I never eat it. Too sweet, and I like the whole-berry, homemade kind. Sometimes, in addition to the orange zest, I use a little tool I have and cut long curls from the peel, and lay them on top of the sauce after it's in its bowl. Makes a pretty dish.

I'm planning to make a German's Sweet Chocolate cake, if I can manage it, with all else there is to do. Wish I didn't have to go to PT in the morning, so I could get the house spruced up, but PT is helping to build my strength, so I'll go. Thursday I'll be at Terri's for dinner, which just leaves me Friday to get ready for the dinner I'm making on Saturday. I bought some of the groceries this afternoon - the things they typically run out of. I'll go again on Friday to get the rest of it. With my finances as tight as they are right now, being on 60% of my pay since June, I had to wait for the rest of it until Friday, after my check is deposited. I guess I could have gotten it all, but it would have really left me low on cash, and besides, I was worn out and wanted to just get out of that store!

Well, I'm off to bed. Tomorrow will be a busy day. Blessings, folks! --Romeena

November 25, 2025 - Msg 121076: Hello friends, just wanted to jump on and fill you in on some things. Bruce has been in the heart hospital since last Friday. He was having chest pain at work and the took him to the ER where he was admitted and the various tests done. Good news is that he did not have a heart attack. Bad news is that he is completely blocked up in three different coronary arteries. They gave him a choice of stents or bypass surgery and he chose the stents. They were planning to do it today but his kidney function is not good due to the contrast they inject during the tests. He has chronic kidney disease and his numbers dont look good since the tests. the cardiologist is being very careful and doing some things that might improve the numbers by tomorrow afternoon, like giving IV fluids to flush the kidneys. If the numbers are better tomorrow they will attempt to stent one of the vessels, using a minimum amount of the contrast dye. They would send him home and let the kidneys rest for a month, and then do another stent. So, it would all be done in stages. I think the doc is making the right choice because he is not having chest pain at this point and his labs look good as far as no sign of a heart attack. He is just tired of being in the hospital. Please lift a prayer that all goes well and that he is able to go home soon. Thanks! I will keep you updated.

This version of The Taylor's Front Porch has been created to pay our respect to the original porch found on Mayberry.org. Thanks to Frank for all the work he did for Mayberry on the web. We've tried to make this just like Frank's Porch. This is also a tribute to Ollie's "Trivialities" site which was another homage to Frank's porch but is no longer with us.
