Good morning.

I slept so much better last night knowing that the situation with Mark and Megan is under control.  Again, I thank you all for your kind words. 

AMY, I think the video with the rabbit was pretty much covered everywhere.  Bless the man for caring to help save the little bunny, but he sure did take a big chance to be that close to the active flames.  I have thought about all the wild life that probably met their demise....I know there were several horses that did not get out😢. Mark took a amazing video of the choppers pulling water out of the lake at the golf course....he said as he was taking the video he realized if anything went wrong he was not in a safe spot by any means. 

AMY, holding good possitive thoughts for your hubby, regarding the phone call you are waiting on today. HUGS.

JANE, take care of the hand....sorry it did not respond right away after the shots.

CAROL, please give Don a HAPPY BIRTHDAY wish from us today.  We have issues with our garage door this time of the year as the Sun hits the sensor and makes the door think something is in the way.  Bob has to get out and stand in the way of it as I push the button. 

SHIRLEY, I have to agree with Hal.....when you burn the candle at both ends your body is bound to respond in a negative way....and God only knows you DO burn that candle at both ends.  I am a believer of a dash of peppermint oil on my forehead to help cure a headache, however I am concerned yours are too sever for this easy method. Hope you are doing much better today. 

HAL, I, too, had a nice vision of you and your lady last night with the snow falling and the beautiful fire going.....then you had to throw in the power outage......sounds like your wife was smart to stay in the room with the fireplace.....glad the power did come back on.  I had to chuckle at your doggie not wanting to step on the snow!

LARRY, I am anxious to hear what comes out of the meeting today at the golf club.  I thought about all the food they might have to toss out......not sure if their were power failures or not.  Oh yes, the revenue loss will be substantial for sure.  The hourly employees will also take a big hit....and that is very sad, especially this time of the year.  I have not thought about Farmall tractors in a very long time, so I enjoyed reading what you said about your dads.  I can not believe the price you have quoted on the eggs in your area.  Ours sure are no where near that price. 

We have a good skiff of snow on the ground here, but that is all.  It is to warm up some today, so it should all melt on its own.  We are so dry here, and in need of some moisture. 

I wish you all a good day. 

Jenny

I just joined the club, of people losing long post.

Carol happy Birthday to Don from NY,

Jenny, I join with everyone in hearing the good news about Marks house. I am just so sad to read and see all the awful news about those fires.
By the way, the supermarket on our corner is have a grand reopening to day, and if you spend $25 you a a dozen free eggs, and a box of macaroni something else, but I forgot. That is easy to spend that much nowadays in the grocery store.

June, hope you are feeling better.

Shirley, years ago I had bad headaches that I would have to go to bed.

Amy:  I am sorry that I missed reading the little clue about your husbands health.  A specialist is a good idea when called for - may he recover soon. 

Gloria de: Don will get a kick out of a greeting from you.

Our daughter just called as they passed the lake in Minnesota where the kids basically grew up - the house is valued 3 times what we sold it for - it has lake on two sides - a long dirt road and only five houses there.  It is cold, per usual and daughter and her husband flew into the Twin Cities and rented a car to watch hockey  in Duluth.  Who in their right minds do that?  We did for years and only got caught in one terrible storm.

Jenny:  Since the area near Mark has already burned - do you think he is out of danger now?  It stands to reason that there would not be any dry kindling so to speak in the yards.  LOL on your garage door.  Our Minnesota garage doors worked perfectly - even our Suburban started every time while parked outdoors many nights. 

Shirley:  Can your headaches be allergies?   Take care. 

Thank you all for the pity for my headache.... cured it for sure!  Seriously, so much going on it's hard to tell what brought it on, I've been pushing my luck on all sides & got caught.  Got up at 3:00 am to grind those roasts.  Couldn't sleep & know i could after getting that job done & eating.  Naturally the cats thought it was breakfast time.  Headache was not bad this morning & I did get another hour of sleep (total of 4 hours), then no headache at all. I did wear my ski headband plus coat with hood when I went out.  I do know better.

The other headaches I get come from eating meats with nitrates & nitrites. I figured that out when we moved to KC area and
I didn't have a doctor telling me I had chronic sinusitis...  I cut out all meats & foods with those preservatives and all headaches went away.  About 2 years "being clean" from those preservatives I ate 2 pieces of bacon & 24 hours later I started getting that creepy feeling that comes before a headache.  Since that time of cleaning out my system of preservatives, I have been able to eat pizza or bacon but NOT day after day.... 

Amy, I keep watching for good news about your hubby.... maybe the specialist will be a blessing with a new fix. 

Jenny, so glad your kids are starting to be at ease again.  Will be a while before life will be back to normal & I'm sure they will have a heavy heart seeing so many people losing everything. 

Carol, wish Don a special happy birthday from me....  always pleases me to see how well he is doing managing his health. Doesn't seem that long ago you were explaining all the different things he was doing (because of your research) to help. 

Hal & Larry, I do agree burning that candle on both ends is not smart, but now & then life runs amuck & got to catch up.  When Cas was alive, the last few years, he couldn't do much physically but he did the thinking.  I forgot how much time it takes to THINK!  I have a couple CDs rolling over the first week of Jan (2nd & 5th) ... and the rate offered by that bank is bad.  Another bank came up with an offer of over 1/2% above but offer is good only through Dec.  I asked if they could delay for a week & response was not in my favor.  I'm not willing to take a $900 penalty to take days early withdrawal.... They've had it 3 years so not like real early withdrawal.   

One online bank has a much better rate & what I see so far, reliable. Before Cas retired I handled moving the CDs around & had more choices in KC area, plus the rates back then were 8%+.  So awful now, but I'm not willing to take risks.  Lousy timing on when these roll over, holidays & all.  Hopefully where they are will go up after the first. Keeps the mind busy between cooking, banking & Christmas plans.  Glad the headache is gone, betcha I am more careful .... for a while. 

Time to get something else to eat & "tub-up" that soup I made yesterday.  Tastes pretty good but will taste better later on.  I need to make a big pot of chili to freeze, too.  Sweet dreams.... and Hal, enjoy MY snow!   

Hi dear hearts, I really don't know where the day went. I went out once to walk the hallways, then again later to pick up my mail, and snuck outside to sit on the glider and grab some fresh air, then home to read some more..had a nice phone call from son Dan. Dori has been busy cooking up a storm for the party they are throwing at the Church for the congregation tomorrow..I guess they do this each Christmas. I have put some Christmas decorations on the outside of my door, and that's about it. Another day or two and I will be finished with the anti-biotic, and hopefully return to feeling like a normal human being instead of a zombie-like creature.

Keep well my dear hearts, I love you all so much. God be with you !! June

Good morning everyone...

Looks like I have an offer to waltz with the shovel..no jitter bugging with the snow blower today, not enough snow. Thank you all for your good thoughts and prayers, we will get through this I am sure. Being human I am wanting it all in past so we can move on with life. Guess a lesson in patience is in order.

Laundry, shoveling and maybe more baking we shall see how the day goes. One learns to take the day as it comes anymore.

Both dogs have been out and both had their roll in the snow, snow bath I call it, all you see is feet flailing in the air.

June, so happy to see your post,good to hear you are feeling better and enjoyed your walks. Antibiotics will make you tired also so they are to blame.

Shirley happy to see your headache is missing. I know what you mean about the thinking part as that is the way it is here now.

Carol, I missed Don's birthday, hope he had a wonderful birthday.

Jane, hope your finger is better today..

Better get a move on here

Enjoy your day everyone..

good morning Everfriend!  I managed to get the peanuts roasted and bagged yesyerday and most of the things packed for my sister's family.  I'm hoping my grandniece will be around to accept delivery on Sunday when Cathy and I go shopping. 

We have another Memorial Service to attend for another old friend today.  Cathy is picking me up at 10:15 Gloria was 88 and I've known her since she was a teenager.  That's a LONG time!

The dr told me that I might have some soreness in my hand and up my armm from the shots.  BOY! Was he ever right.  I can feel that cord all the way to my shoulder. 

I hope you all have a great day free from pain and full of love1

Hi Everyone.  It is still very dark here as it is early for me.  However, I woke up about 3:30 and wasn't able to go back to sleep so got up early.  We had rain here all day yesterday but didn't see any snow. We have a 50% chance of more rain today and it will stay in the 40's.

My kitchen chores are done until Pat gets up.    I may go to a meeting later this morning and need to stop by the Post Office.  A neighbor brought over a slip from the Post Office with our address on it that had been placed in her box.  We have no idea what this might be but hope to find out today.  I started reading an ebook yesterday and hope to continue reading it today.  It has been a long while since I have read a book but look forward to doing so in the future.

Jane, glad you didn't have to have surgery on your hand.  I do hope it responds as expected.  Good thing the doctor warned you about the pain you have.  I hope it is something that won't last long. 

Hal, nice that your great grandchildren got to see what snow is all about.  Glad your power didn't stay off too long.  We have an electric fireplace which produces a pretty flame but absolutely no heat and even if it did would be useless in an electrical outage.  I do have a propane heater upstairs but the kerosine I have stored outside on the patio is several years old so don't know whether it would be safe to use or not.  Glad you were able to stay warm. Too bad you have to wait until next month for the other eye procedure.  Seeing better is great and now both of my eyes see about the same. 

Jenny, I read that some very valuable race horses had been lost in the California fires.  Glad you were able to sleep better. 

deAngel, the club of people losing posts isn't a good one to belong to.    Unfortunately I am also a member of that club although it hasn't happened many times. 

Carol, did your grandson know his folks were coming to watch him play hockey?  I bet it was a treat for the parents as well. 

Shirley, glad to see your headache stopped yesterday.  I told my wife a couple of days ago that if she had to keep up with all the bills and record keeping I would feel for her.  I think our son would have to be called upon to help.  Hopefully I will be around for several more years to keep track of all of the detail.  Having been an auditor for 10 years of my work life I do keep good records and that came in handy yesterday when I got a billing from a doctor's office that I had paid last month. 

June, nice to see you were able to get outside for a little bit yesterday.  Medications can sure do a number on us occasionally, especially those antibiotics. 

Amy, glad you don't have enough snow to use the snow blower although expect you are anxious to take it out and use it.  It sounds like your dogs love the snow. 

Good Morning Everyone!

Amy, seems you may be a bit depressed.  God only knows you  and your hubby have had a full plate for a long time.  Call your pups around you and have a big group hug.  And you do have a good friend that is always beside you, a good talk with Him always gives renewed energy and he will never leave you in need.  Enough, or it could be all that dancing with those two guys that hang out around your house. Mr. Shovel and Mr. Blower.  Watch them, they will take advantage.

Larry, I don't think the kerosene would be dangerous, just may not burn.  I don't know if it is like our gasoline of today or not.  My SIL who runs a Honda shop says many of the problems today with engines is the lousy gasoline the government came up with.

June, happy to read your post this morning.  I think the changes that they have made to antibiotics causes the side affects.  They used to not bother me, but they sure do make me feel lousy anymore.  But they only prescribe them for five to seven days not the normal ten they used.

It is beautiful sunshiny day out.  Suppose to get up into the low 60's later.  No signs of the snow of yesterday.  Boy did you see that Corpus Christi got seven inches of the white stuff.   Unreal.
All you folks North and East of us are enjoying the benefits of our storm.........

Have you ever noticed:  my wife was on the phone with our friend in Boston last night for well over an hour.  After she got off and came back into the den I ask, what did Joyce have to say.  "oh nothing much".   Ah, er, well okay.  Not much.

I hope everyone has a good day and everything goes as planned.

 

Good afternoon, and the ground is finally getting white.

Jane, I hope that finger feels better soon.

June, good to see your post. get well soon.

Larry, yesterday I got my bill for my Discover card, and there was a small amount due to PayPal. I do not have that, so I put the other name that was with PP in the Googles and it came up with a lot of Chinese name, I then put the numbers in that came after the name.
I got: Suspected Fraudulent charge.
I also have and electric fireplace, but it gives out a lot of heat, there again, no help if electric goes off. Have use it when I have had oil burner problems.

Amy take Hal advise.

Still snowing here, lightly though, just making everything look so pretty!! Son called from TN and told me he walked through 6 inches of snow in GA..of course Mom teased him about us having very little. I am sure I will eat those words before winter is out.

Blueberry pie made and laundry almost done. may go and play in the sewing room for a bit !

Hal, thank you, I have no time to get depressed and I am sure this will all work out. I agree He is the one to turn to  and Lord knows I have talked His ears off more than once. I also live in an area where beauty is all around, birds, fox, skunks ,racoon,wolves, moose, the odd elk and lots of deer. Sun setting or waking up on the lakes..geese, loons, all kinds of wee birds and even swans flying over head. I feel I am so rich by far with all this and the wind blowing through the pines at night ..

Lloyd, need a lot more snow here to make ice cream. I do have an ice cream maker but we don't eat it fast enough..

Better get back to my laundry..

Gloria de....yes and I forgot to tell Hall that both dogs snuggle in tight at night.one can't get depressed. I may get discussed when one dog  has gas but that is life

  Snow !!!    

Good Afternoon,

No snow here - just bitterly cold temperatures and just enough wind to make the wind chill a bit lower.

Jane,  hope your hand is improving.
Hal,  I understand where your wife's coming from re: the phone call.  A "friend since birth" and I can do that.
Before cell phones,  one would call the other, we'd talk for an hour, hang up - and the other one would "return" the call and we'd talk for another hour.  That way, we split the cost.
Shirley , my only comment on your refusal to slow down is "Reasons aren't necessarily excuses".     Hope your headache is better.
Gloria, Miss Ellen  lives in Hamilton Heights and works at a restaurant in the Theater District so don't know if she's seen any snow. Haven't seen any snow pictures on Facebook, yet.
Jenny, I join those who are happy that Mark's house has been spared.  I hope the golf course can be repaired without too many problems.
June,  so glad you're able to be out and about.  I could sense a bit of depression setting in - even though you're always a positive thinker.   

It seems like I've been on a  ever since Thanksgiving.

Three very good friends of more than 35 years have died since then.  There have been Memorial Services for two and the third one is on the 18th.  I will miss each of them a lot.
I started a book the other day and thought "Oh, Renee would love this'......and then remembered I can never again share fun things with her.

I've scaled waaaaay back on Christmas decorating this year and find I don't miss the things I haven't put out.
I donated my big tree to the church's mission project that helps in an apartment house for abused women with children
Then put two mini trees at either end of a cabinet. I think they took more time to decorate than the big tree did!    I put one of the many Christmas Village buildings in between with two small figurines beside it - and the rest of the Village stayed in the storage cupboard.

Mother of the Grands sent everyone's Christmas list and I spent most of Thursday shopping on-line and on the phone.  Don't feel I'm neglecting the local economy because the phone orders were to local stores and most of the on-line was for gift cards that will be spent locally.  I don't "do" Amazon......yet. 

All of my Christmas cards to be mailed are done.  I will send some e-cards individually so I can personalize the message.

Have wrapped and labeled the present for the Santa Tree at church.  It's for a mother in the home I mentioned earlier. Made sure I put the package by my purse so I won't walk off without it tomorrow. 

I know I have all the ingredients for "baking as needed" and won't need to start that until Monday.

So I think I'll get off the treadmill and be a "recliner radish" until time to go to the Neighborhood Christmas Open House Tour.   Will only go to the two on my street because it's too much walking to get around to the others..  The "after-party" is next door so I'll pop in there for a bit longer. 

Wishing Everyfriend Everywere an Enjoyable Day

Callie, I just finished my cards to day. Very slow this year. I did put up my big Christmas scene, which I call Cape Cod, I have a lot of boats in it I would not have done it, if my nephew was not here.

Hi kids, I'm still here, and I feel I am on the mend. It may be wishful thinking, but whatever, I'll take a double did of it. Tomorrow is my last anti-biotic pill....YaY....I'll have to miss Church again, but whatever, God is never more than a prayer away, or a breath away, or a thought away...we are SO Blessed. I'm feeling good tonight.

However, my heart and prayers are with those who have lost so much in these terrible fires that have been popping up in so many areas in Ca.

Amy, I am so happy that you are still well and able to all you do to keep your life as normal as possible. I know you are under a strain with your beloved's illness, and I know that the need to get out there to stack wood, dance with the various shovels and blowers, taking care of those two four legged kids, are needful therapy in your life at this time. And then the quiet peace you feel in your quilting.  I am so proud of you girl friend.

Gloria de, I am just delighted that your nephew is still with you. I hope that you find comfort in having him available at all times, and I hope he can stay as long as needed. I don't "do" Christmas cards any more. My "Angels"  Gary and Dori take care of that and include me and a "gift"..check-- in the card.I am so blessed with these children of mine. I have no cares at all.
Now I will quit gabbing and to fix a lite supper. Not hungry but the body needs fuel. I Love you, my cyber family.

This old day is drawing to a close and pulling me right along with it.

June, it was nice to hear you are feeling up and starting to feel human once again.  I feel certain that as soon as you finish your pills you will really feel like you are on the mend.

Callie, you sounded chipper and like you are getting right into the spirit of the season.  2 to 1 you wont become a recliner radish.   I thought you would be right up there on cloud nine tonight since Baker Mayfield from OU won the Heisman.  I would have been surprised if he hadn't.  Did you watch the Army/Navy game today.  Another one of those down to the wire games. 

Guess I better get off this thing before I injure myself by falling asleep while I am writing.  I hope everyone has a nice quite night and sleeps the whole night through.

Goodnight, God Bless and Sweetdreams

I have intended to get here all day long.....no excuse really...just running slow. 

We were to go to Laramie WY today for the memorial service for my cousins husband, but yesterday I started feeling puny, so decided if I did not feel much better this morning that it would be best for us to just stay home. It was a very wise decision.

I spoke to Mark and he gave me a bit of news about the condition of the golf club.  The inside of the club house had terrible smoke damage in some areas.  He said it really smelled bad in there and he became very badly effected, respiratory wise after being in the building for a few hours.  The clothing in the pro shop will probably be a loss again from the smoke damage.  Two of the bridges on the course were totally burned and most of the control boxes had melted.  They are going to try to open on Tuesday, but they are not sure.

JUNE, it is so good to read your post and hear you say you are feeling better.  I sure hope it continues. 

CALLIE, you sound like you are getting along very well.  I hope you enjoyed the home tour and visit afterwards. 

We have Oliver the Doodle here with us tonight.  His mom and dad are downtown at her company Christmas Party and will be spending the night in a hotel. 

Pleasant dreams to all.

Jenny

Well, here it is, time for that Sat. night bath again (I really do shower & wash hair other days,  just a must do on Sat.night). 

Glad you are feeling better, June.... seems everyone is sick around here... learned tonight gr-son that lives here, wife & 3 kids have the "barfs" so I dug out (of the freezer) 2 tubs of cooked, scrambled hamburger, brought up 2 tall cans of Hunt's spaghetti sauce, will pick up a big onion tomorrow & put together a big-big batch of spaghetti.  I add more herbs & spices to the sauce & lots of hamburger (no real recipe, Jane) & add the "angel hair" pasta (AmBeauty) & all the grands & great grands eat like little pigs.  Took a batch to my son last week when he was babysitting his grands & he sent a thank you with photos of both kids with sauce all over their faces & a big grin.

Callie, my sincere sympathy for the loss of your friends..... My long time friend's birthday was the 7th of Dec.... will miss her as long as I live.  For years we would only talk or send letters at Christmas time, could pick up the phone & would be talking like it was only yesterday.  Like you, so many times I want to tell her something & that kick in the stomach feeling hits.... never again.  We had 10 girls in our little "click", some from 1st grade on & some from 8th grade on.... sadly only several of us still living on our own, 5 dead and a couple are in "memory care". 

I'm planning to go to MO yet this month, will stop & visit my sister in Warrensburg (think you spent time there, right?) on the way, take decorations for Mom & Dad's graves, take a niece to lunch & try out the state fair campgrounds in Sedalia... and head back next day & stop to visit my brother & wife when I go through KC.  I pick up a whole box of special donuts (filled & not) as well as different types of apple fritters & other goodies, we will gab for an hour & I can get back before dark.  Gets dark about 5:30 these days.  Hugs to you.

I still don't have my outside lights up, put the decorations on the double doors & got the living room done.  Shark is parked in the hall and Mr.Hoover sent back to the bedroom, he still works best on carpet (power drive).  I had hoped to have a tea for the ladies in the neighborhood, 2 have not been here long, but don't think I will get everything done in time.  Might be better in January when we are
not so busy.      But I so wanted to use all my Christmas serving pieces one more time.... you ladies know what I mean. 

Good for you, Gloria D.... wish you could post a photo of your Cape Cod scene.  Nice your nephew is there.

Sandy, I am green with envy over your snow!  Don't know why I love it so much but in spite of slick streets & driveways that have to be dug out, I get such a feeling of peace & joy when the ground is covered.  Bet that little one will be fun to watch as she experiences her first snow to play in. 

Amy, sounds like you have a slice of Heaven with all those critters to watch & listen for.... and good neighbors "to boot" as my father used to say.  Wishing you peace and miracles for the holidays. 

Hal, I still hear from DorisA now & then (I call or she calls) & we usually talk over an hour... laugh & giggle about nothing & I couldn't tell what we talked about when I hang up.  It's a female thing.........

Larry, Cas was so methodical, kept track of every detail.... only reason we stayed married was separate checking accounts!  I had household money & knew where every penny went but was not the best with the paper work.  Since he had to keep records & his expense account as well as his "happy money".... he loved handling the business end of "house work" after he retired.  I still took care of utilities & anything to do with every day living, but left choices of insurances (house, car & our health) & taxes of all kinds, up to him. Accounting & book keeping was not my strong suit.   

Jenny, so sorry about Mark's "place of work" & concern for his respiratory problem.... must be still a lot of smoke in the air, hope he can find a way so it doesn't bother him too much.  Would a mask help?  Too bad you had to miss the memorial but wise you didn't go.

I'd better get moving, my early to bed is not so early now.  Cats had their midnight snack early but I didn't turn off the lights in that end of the house so will go do that first.  Bitter cold outside but not as bad as the last 2 nights.  Wind chill in low teens.  Sweet dreams to all.  Shirley

I'm up and the doggies have been out and we're waiting out their pills.  I'll go and get ready for church in a few minutes but I wanted to say....

GOOD MORNING EVERYFRIEND!

We have snow in the forcast for today!  I'm hoping it waits a while or melts on contact.  I like to see it coming down but I don't like driving in it.  And Cathy and I had some plans to finish thw Christmas shopping today.  We shall see!  Make your day a good one!

Good morning everyone..

14° F here this morning, not enough snow to worry about on the driveway ,so I will sit this dance out.
A day of rest here, may play in the sewing room for a bit ,also need to wrap some gifts.
Enjoy your day everyone..

Good Morning everyone. It is 30 º here now clear and calling for 53 º today. pray you all have a great day just like you want. see you later.

Lloyd

Hi Everyone.  It was a very chilly 26 degrees when I got up about 6 am this morning.  However, we are have a sunny day and it will get up to the higher 40's by afternoon.  The only plans we have for today are to go to Church and then hope to go out to lunch with friends if Pat feels up to attending Church this morning.  Yesterday was a rainy, misty type of day and the sun came out only around 5 pm.

Hal, I hope I don't have to find out about the kerosine as wouldn't try to use it unless our power stayed off for a considerable period of time.  I have only used the heater once and burned out all of the kerosine in it before storing it as well as removing the batteries.  I had a heater before and used it for several years.  I wonder the same thing about the calls my wife has with her sister.  I will usually ask her if anything is new and the answer is usually no. 

deAngel, give Discover a call, if you haven't already, and they will suspend that charge from your bill and probably send you a new card with a different number.  Glad your electric fireplace gives out some heat.  Ours looks realistic but it has a safety cover on it.  We have really never used it.  We had a gas started fireplace in our other house and never had a fire in it.  Our old neighbor had the fireplace in his house removed and had double doors to his glassed in patio installed as it provided more daylight to the room. 

Amy, did the snow in Georgia cause him to park his truck?  My wife has spent time in her sewing room upstairs the last two days.  It sounds like you live in a beautiful place. 

Callie, glad your area avoided the snow.  It seemed when I lived in the Oklahoma City area that the wind was always blowing.  Pat has one of the Christmas Village and it is on top of our entertainment center and we leave it up all year but don't turn on the lights until this time of the year.  Part of our Christmas shopping has been through Amazon but I bought the new laptop at Costco, which is pretty close to where we live.  Hope you enjoyed the Neighborhood Christmas Open House Tour. 

June, I heard on the news last night that the firemen are saying those fires may continue until after Christmas before they will be able to get them stopped.  I sure hope you will feel better by tomorrow since you will be through with the antibiotic. 

Jenny, I had to wonder when homes being destroyed in the area where the golf course is located who will be coming to play on the course?  Sorry to hear of the smoke damage but at least the club house wasn't destroyed. 

Shirley, sorry to hear of the sickness in your family.  Your spaghetti and sauce sounds delicious.  For several years I had Pat take care of paying the bills and keeping up with the checkbook.  However, I took that back over when she started feeling so bad with her bad and she has never said anything about it.  I used to save the bills up and pay them once a month but anymore just pay them as they are received. 

Jane, hope the snow holds off until you and Cathy get your Christmas shopping done. 

The sun is now out and the sky is clear so it will be a much more enjoyable day today than the last two, which were rainy and chilly. 

Good Morning Everyone!

Well, teeth are clean and face is scraped and all I have to do is put my Sunday clothes on.  Wife is not going, she wants to sleep in.  Her decision.

Larry, Amy's area does sound like a great place to live.  I am sure you, like me, remember you growing up years with lots of animals in the area, except some we wanted to keep away from the house and our animals.  I remember when we had snow and I was young I would go down by the creek and track animals, sure I was going to find one, never did.  Always could find lots of Coon tracks by the creek in the mud, but never saw the Coon.

Pretty cold here his morning but will warm up into the 60's again this afternoon, suppose to be this way all week.

Hope everyone has a good Sunday.

Good late afternoon, very cold some snow still on the ground from yesterday.

June, glad to see you nice long post, sounded like you. Please take care.

Jane, hope your hand is feeling better.  I will try and find my no peek beef recipe  is and send it off to you.

Larry, We tried calling discover card, but they want us to call Pay Pal, which I do not have. Did get through to them, but it was a 76 Min, wait. and my neighbor could not stay that long just hanging on the phone.

Gloria where are you?

I am right back, as I wanted to say to Jenny, maybe Mark should get a mask to where around the building. My husband had to use them to go out in the cold, it bothered his COPD so bad.

Good evening dear hearts, I was in this morning and read all your good posts, but the bed told me to go lie down, so I did. Nurse came in with my anti-biotic, last one of eight, and I am glad to be finished. I think they made me feel very tired. I hope it was that. I am free to leave the apartment house now, and that is a great feeling.I scooted down to the library late this afternoon...returned two books and picked up two more. I am reading all of Lori Wick's books right now. Light reading, but i like it.

Time to go cook my last t.v. dinner. I will need to place a big order soon, or not....I'm free to dine with others now. YAY !!!

Evening all!

Well just came in to go to bed and checking to see who all posted what and see that Linedancer and June has been in and left us a note.  Linedancer, I suspect that Gloria's Grandson may have her computer working on it.  She told us he was suppose to pick it up, I think last weekend, but guess he may have finally gotten over.

Not much going on here, including on TV, we kinda surfed the channels and tried to watch a show or two but they had so many commercials you really couldn't enjoy them.

June happy they finally "released" you.  Hope you perk up.''

Anyhow, off to bed.  Nite, God Bless and Sweet Dreams.

Good morning everyone..

More snow but only shovel worth cleaning up. If anyone lost some zzzz's yesterday ,I found them and put them to good use. All 4 of us had a nap after lunch. Not sure what is on for today, need to finish up the wrapping and cleaning.

Larry , 6 inches of snow won't stop him. Son is used to driving in snow.

June ,yippie, they sprung you lose!!! Please don't over do it and take each day as it comes.

Hal, I also think  her grandson is fixing her computer. Hope it gives her no more problems now.

Enjoy your day everyone.

AMY good morning. hope you are not overdoing it with the snow, wish we could send send some of it on down here,I can feed the cattle even on the snow and we do need the moisture, the old timers said we need the snow to put menrules back in the ground. Have a great day.
wish everyone a great day just as you like it, see you all later.
