If you can use a car jack you can use one of these things.

Remember me ... I am very old too 46 AND arthritic! I can use it just fine. The hardest part is putting the logs on and off!

Um, 46 is very old??? Please say it isn't so! I only have 7 days of 45 left!!
Your day in the city sounds like my nightmare too. Ugh!

Well it sure FEELS old some days!

So, today was stormy, off and on. I decided it was a good day for cleaning the house. Made fried chicken...mashed taters with gravy, and opened a jar of pickled beets, and popped in a few hard boiled banty eggs. YUM!
The rain cleared out early evening so I decided to sit on the porch, and watch nature come back to life. I glanced at the thicket up front, and noticed my Elderberries were starting to ripen. So, I headed out and started picking. In about 30 minutes, I had about 1 and 1/2 quarts. Elderberry Jelly....my FAVORITE !

The berries are just starting to ripen, so I should have plenty more coming...IF I can beat the birds to them.

ETA: FF, we are the same age, and I know how some days you just feel old as dirt. Nothing wants to work right...but, there are more GOOD days than bad...so far!

Yes VERY TRUE ... but the NOTHING that usually won't work for me is my BODY!

(I had better be good I have been feeling exceptionally healthy all summer! Thank God above!)

This hasn't been a great year for me. All the rain, and humidity...ugh! COPD..and arthritus...makes for a yukky day! However...im not complaining...I am still mobile, and able...most days!

Good morning SS'ers. My little dog, Alero, just wanted to say hello, and have a great day! Doesn't she have the cutest smile!??

Anyways....I am headed to town, to get my pickling supplies...and sugar for my elderberrie jelly!

What a cutie patootie!

My daughter has a Pom named Kia. They are sure little spit- fires!

My arthritis is doing great. Lots of prayers from others and a specialist made all of the difference!

Are you going to a rheumatologist?

Nope.....no Dr's for me. Its not unbearable...just stiff..mostly in my hands..and feet. I know, the 2 parts I need the most! LOL
I just can't get into the thought of taking pills. I do morning stretches...feet and hands..and for the most part, I am doing OK.
Glad to hear yours is managed!
