We have enjoyed doing "almost" nothing. Friends dropped in to exchange gifts and spoil the dogs. This is the first Christmas without their dog and we always bought for him along with Callie the cat. Neighbour laughed when both dogs started squeaking their toys... he said pay back )

Phone calls, emails and really don't need anythnig to eat as we have been nibbled all afternoon!!

Don, Merry Christmas to you. I think you are having a green Christmas your way.

Enjoy your evening..

Wishing all had a grand O blessed Christmas
No snow here thus NO Santa (the Scrooge)
Now let all settle a bit , its rolling around again for the New Year ~

Good "Day after Christmas" Morning to Everyfriend!  My family is on the way from Maryland this morning and that includes my grandson, his fairly new wife and stepson!  I'm in the process of preparing for their arrival.  I've never met Daniel's wife and son...only talked on the phone!  I'm really looking forward to meeting them!

I don't know if I'll have much time this week to spend on the computer.  Don't worry if you don't see me.  Between special visitors, getting ready to go back with them, and still doing my eyes, it's a busy time!  I wish you all a whole bunch of good days to come!  Make these your own days in every way!

Good morning..

Possibility of rain around 10 this morning. Taking stock of what is needed to pick up in town then home to corral up the dust kangaroos. 

After today only 5 days left before we say goodbye to 2023, even time has roller skates on. Looking back it has been a good year, have had some little bumps along the way but for the most part it was ok.

Better get the day started.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning..

Another mild day with the possibility of rain. Can get used to these milder temps but I have a feeling we will pay dearly fo it. So far just two dances with Mr SB and one with the shovel. Need to get everything ship shape for company tomorrow.

Bubble, thank you for the photo of Don and his family. Don really looks like Santa!

Better get the day started.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning..

Busy morning getting ready for more family , need to get the buns made and tidy up..

Rain has put the run on the snow  and will continue for a couple more days..

Better get the dough started.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning. Been raining here too. But looks like we missed some of the real heavy rain. Thankful it's not snow. Seems to be a lull now between the two holidays. All's quiet around here.

Good morning.

Another liquid sunshine day here...no snow but the winter is not over with yet!

We had a fun day with family yesterday and have one more on the 4th. After that it is running for Dr appointments for Kyle and my friend.

I think today I shall coast, lots of leftovers to enjoy.  Alaways something yelling to be done and it may or may not get done. I am itching to get back at making a log cabin quilt,finally got all the cutting done now to just put it together.

Rick ,we have been getting  gentle rains here, no snow now but lots of fog!


Jane, if you peek in,enjoy your time with family.

Patricia, it was great talking with you and yes Patricia, you do have a cute accent

Phyliss ,hope you and David had a nice Christmas.

Better get the day started...need to go feed Callie and give her tummy rubs.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Still wet here and absolutely nothing at all planned - except devouring some goodies I see in the kitchen.

Thank you, AMY.  Christmas was very quiet and really just another day but we got through it.  Do you put a small red piece at the center of your log cabin square to represent that the center of the cabin is the fireplace?  Some of the old quilters over in the Appalachians do. Log cabin quilts are one of my favorite patterns. I think they are one of the fun ones to do and don't make you want to tear your hair out with frustration.  lol

Good morning

Another mild day and likey more misty rain..

Work around home today, not sure if laundry will be dried on the solar dryer or not.

Made potato bacon soup and that will be lunch.

Neighbours are home but will be going to sons so I get to give Calie her supper and play for a bit. She is such a funny cat, I had a tiny bit of meat left in the container so went to wiggle in with it and she bunts your hand away! Neighbour said if you are sitting on the rocking chair ,Callie will wiggle in behind you and keeps pushing with her feet till she alone has the chair!!

Phyllis, yes red for the centre and some people will even use yellow . This one called for blue but I used red instead and will do it in the barn raising pattern...or not. Will see when all 80 blocks are done, using 1 1/2 inch logs that end up 1 inch .

Rick,  my goodness that is a chore to have!! We also have some goodies left and need to do that. The things we have to do. 

Jane , is with her company,Patricia is without her computer. You both are misssed.

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

quick hello!!  not easy to type on this thing  we had a ball and the kids are on the way back to Mexico

Good morning..

Sunday, the last day of 2023, a year of tragedy all over the world. Wars,flood ,fires and not one we wish to see for a long time or never. This past year we have lost friends,neighbours and pets. Some will be still dealing with cancers but hopefully will beat it. I think it is time for the world to have peace and peace in our hearts.

Happy New Year to you and may 2024 be a healthy prosperous  year..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Happy New Year to all.  It's been a quiet week here in the residence and nothing is planned for new year's eve. It's been a dull, dreary week here in london with no sign of Winter.   It just doesn't seem like winter. I wish you all the very best for 2024

Happy New Year to each of the Soda Shoppers  

Thanks Don, Callie, and everyone.

HAPPY NEW YEAR WISHES to ALL. I certainly hope to have MUCH better health this coming year and I hope you ALL do too. 

Bob and both have some kind of a respiratory bug.  Seems most around here do.....but we hoped to not be one of them. 

Very concerned about the possibility of me not being able to pass my pre-op surgery physical on the 4th the way I am currently feeling 🤧🤧 My surgery is scheduled for the 10th.  🤞🤞
Nothing I can do about it, darn it.

I have heard nothing from the doctor about my Shoulder MRI.  It is doing better and better everyday but still can not lift my arm up or out to do anything 😩😩😩


Holding very positive thoughts and saying prayers for you with your eyes, JANE and you CALLIE with your hands. 

Have a good last few hours of this momentous last day of the year 123123‼️‼️

    Let's make a new start HERE
