Thanksgiving Time

When all the leaves are off the boughs,
And nuts and apples gathered in,
And cornstalks waiting for the cows,
And pumpkins safe in barn and bin,
Then Mother says, "My children dear,
The fields are brown, and autumn flies;
Thanksgiving Day is very near,
And we must make thanksgiving pies!"

Thanksgiving Observance

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth;
Count on God instead of yourself.

Summer Holiday
Cliff Richard and The Shadows

We're all goin' on a summer holiday
No more workin' for a week or two
Fun and laughter on a summer holiday
No more worries for me or you
For a week or two

We're goin' where the sun shines brightly
We're goin' where the sea is blue
We've seen it in the movies
Now let's see if it's true

Every wee body has a summer holiday
Doin' things they always wanted to
So we're goin' on a summer holiday
To make our dreams come true
For me and you

We're goin' where the sun shines brightly
We're goin' where the sea is blue
We've seen it in the movies
So let's see if it's true

Everybody has a summer holiday
Doin' things they always wanted to
So we're goin' on a summer holiday
To make our dreams come true

For me and you
It's a week or two
And a dream come true

Wow! Bubble, you have outdone yourself and given us a lovely new hangout!

I especially liked Lao Tseu's saying; so very true. He has always been one of my favorites.

Sincere words are not nice.
Nice words are not sincere.
Honest people don't construct nice sentences, those using flowing phrases are not honest.

Good Morning and thank you Bubble for the nice new SS. Everything is great. I don't know how you manage it and I hope you are safe and sound where you are. I pray for your safety and that of everyone over there every day!

PATRICIA, nice to see you this morning! I hope Everyfriend is safe and that they all sow up to see our new place! I wish everyfriend a good day!

Amy · November 01, 2023, 06:25:26 AM

Good morning..

Haven't peeked out to see if we got more snow or not, temp is 28°F. I am off to the city taking Kyle's sister to the Dr. Kyle is staying home to let the dogs look after him.

I made a stab at tiding up the sewing room, then moved on to getting rid of items that are no longer neede or worn. Will hope to finish that job later this week.

Bubble, thank you for the new start, I agree with Patricia!

Jane, good morning to you!!

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

MarsGal · November 01, 2023, 07:06:24 AM

I will be scarce this weekend. Sue goes in for her surgery tomorrow, and I am the one that has to drive her over. I will either hang out for about six hours or leave and come back after they assign her a room. They don't want her bringing in her overnight stuff until she gets her room assignment.

The wasps still persist. Still waiting on the pest control guys to come out and plug up the holes. Somehow, I doubt that will get rid of them all. Got three yesterday, two of them were warming themselves on the steam radiator. Still have not figured out how they are getting into that room. Have not seen any in the kitchen for several days, and none in the bathroom for two days. But, it is going to warm up again to around 70^o on Thursday before getting colder again. So, I expect more. Unfortunately, I won't be here for much of the weekend to swat the things.

This was a FULL day and I'm worn to a frazzle! I'm heading for the haystack and hoping for a good night's sleep to refresh me. Cooper will be arriving as usual at 6:45 a.m. so I'll be up and attem early tomorrow.

We weren't able to stop at Davy's today so that's in the plans for tomorrow! And I wish you all a good night and a happy tomorrow. Come by and say "HI"!

patricia19 · November 02, 2023, 12:11:31 AM

HI!

JaneS · November 02, 2023, 07:04:27 AM

HI, PATRICIA!

MarsGal · November 02, 2023, 07:07:04 AM

Brrrr! Guess I need to turn the heat up a little. It is 29^o outside and a chilly feeling 69^o downstairs, which means it is probably about 64^o up here.

Amy · November 02, 2023, 07:31:15 AM

Good morning...

30° here tad chilly and the fake wood (oil) is on. Oil is not as good as wood heat but there is less work to it..only work is opening up ones wallet!

Sister in law had both her eyes done yesterday..needles in both!! Dr is getting the one eye ready for a new lens later this month.

While in the waiting room one gets talking with others and a gentelman besoe us was telling of a trip he and his family had to Flordia Disney Land. Both his grandgirls dressed up as princesses even had glitter nail polish on their fingers. The 4 year old came to him (Papa) and asked if he would like to a be princess and could she paint his fingernails. He let her go ahead and do his nails,not knowing that six weeks later he would still be wearing silver glitter on his nails He found out after the fact that a base coat should be put on first before glittler. What a great grandpa to let her do that!

Today I take the neighbour in for his vehicle , I also want to pick up apples and then home to stay. ( I hope)

MG, yes time to turn the heat on vibrations from shivering is not going to heat the house up.

Callie, hope you arm is healing without a lot of pain and discomfort.

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

edited to add..... I didn't know M&Ms had peanuts in them........yum. Got into Halloween candy )

patricia19 · November 02, 2023, 12:50:41 PM

And HI! again

JaneS · November 02, 2023, 01:29:59 PM

Hi again, PATRICIA!

And Good Morning or afternoon depending on where you are!

Cooper arrived at 6:45, had his breakfast, waited for me to get dressed and make the bed and then he took me for a nice, long walk in the freezing (32 degrees and frost on the ground) weather! I was sure glad to get back from that one!

Then Cathy came by and we did some book work and some phone calls and then headed for Davy's! They've enlarged and added some products, reded the parking lot and hired more people! It took me a bit longer to find all the stuff on my list and they still don't have some of them. So next week, Cathy and I will make a trip to WM. One thing on my list that is getting urgent is the candied fruit to make the fruit cake. It has to have time to age before Christmas and I always try to have that procedure in progress no later than November 15th. It's getting urgent! I have everything else and I see it every time I walk into the kitchen!

There was a heavy frost on the ground when I got up this morning. You don't suppose that winter has set in...now, do you!

Enjoy the rest of your day! Make it your own in every way! HAPPY! HAPPY!!

JaneS · November 02, 2023, 10:10:55 PM

Just in case there's anyone around this place...GOOD NIGHT! SLEEP TIGHT!

patricia19 · November 03, 2023, 01:32:00 AM

Amy · November 03, 2023, 07:12:35 AM

Good morning..

Waiting on a repair man this morning for th satellite dish. The dish needs to be removed to a more easily accessible place. When it snows and the dish is covered we (me) have to go up a ladder with a long pole to take the snow off of it.

Working on another quilt just need to make 5 more blocks and sew them on.

No snow so that is a good thing.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · November 03, 2023, 07:48:37 AM

Good Morning to anyone who poke a nose in here...and a special "Good Morning to AMY and PATRICIa!

AMY, when my Dish receiver gets snow (or rain or wind or whatever) on it, I can't climb a ladder and clean it off. So I just sit around and complain! They've moved it three times and there's always something that grows up in the way or blows in or.....?

No Cooper this morning but she's coming over later to give him a bath and then he'll wait here for her to go to the store. She's going to pick up some stuff for me, too! So Cooper and I will have a bit of a visit later. I don't expect them until afternoo because when Frankie doesn't have to work, she sleeps in!

I'll check back later to see if we have anyone else peeking in. I put some cookies in the Cookie Bin. Help yourselves. They're oatmeal this time! Enjoy your day! Make it your own in every way!

Vanilla-Jackie · November 03, 2023, 08:47:14 AM

Jane...
...your cookie jar is one cookie short already, hm, these ones are moor-ish

phyllis · November 03, 2023, 08:52:00 AM

Good morning. Just looking in.
Everything's fine.

Take care, everyone.

Denver · November 03, 2023, 12:55:40 PM

Good morning EVERYFRIEND🌞🌞

I am in the process this morning to see if I can get my neck surgery changed from Nov. 20th to December 4th. Found out we have a surprise birthday planned for hubbies #80. A wedding to celebrate on Thanksgiving and a Nutckacker Ballet for my Birthday on the 3rd of December. No time for surgery....I am hopeful the date can be changed 🙏🙏🙏

As of yesterday I am no longer taking my Ozempic shot. I did it for four weeks and yesterday I was to double the quantity and with ALL that is going on I just felt overwhelmed and extremely tired of feeling so lousy.....so I am a QUITTER😩😩 I can hardly eat much at all, and what I can is not necessarily the best for me. Soups and vegetables are about it. That in itself does not sound too bad, I will admit, but I can not eat most meat at all? If chicken is very small in soup but that is it. Overall
I am extremely tired and being nauseous all the time is just not something I feel I can no longer deal with. The thought of paying in excess of $600. a month to feel this way is even more sickening 😩🤯. In addition I have not had much weight loss and my blood sugars have not improved😡 Thank you for listening to me belly ache‼️😩‼️

CALLIE, I hope you are healing that wrist quickly❣️

Love and hugs to you, JANE. So very happy to hear your health report🙏🙏

AMY, always love hearing what all you are doing‼️‼️

Love and hugs to you, JACKIE❣️

Thank you so much BUBBLE for our new SS. Continued prayers for you, your family and your country🙏🙏.

MARS, special thoughts and prayers for Sue. I do hope she is on her way to a complete recovery. Ugh, sorry to read the pest issue continues😩😩

We had our dental appointments on Tuesday. They gave us an approximate guess for the dental work they would like us to have. After we picked ourselves up off of the floor we got the paperwork and headed out the door. UGH‼️‼️🤯🤯🤯 At nearly 80 and 76 years old we just do not think it is in our best interest to take any of this on.....for one thing, the projected time frame to get implants done we could be dead before they are ready to be installed. The office was not pushy at all and did not make us feel pressured, which we were thankful for. Invisiline is part of my recommended plan. I have lived with crooked teeth my whole life....so why try to do anything about it seems unreasonable😩😩

Today is our granddaughter's 14th birthday. We will all gather and celebrate her tonight.

I hope you all are having a good Friday. Enjoy your weekend. We plan to as we are to have beautiful weather. That being said, our oldest grandson is going skiing tomorrow as our mountains have plenty of snow and have opened early. It would not break my heart IF you mountains got TONS of snow and we could just get rain‼️‼️

patricia19 · November 03, 2023, 02:02:21 PM

Good morning, I was up late last night and slept in. It's already 9:47, and besides showering, Farrah took care of her wash, making coffee, and finishing my meet and greets; that's it. If my cell hadn't awakened me, I would still be sleeping! I did notice my alarm was turned off, so I had been awake enough to do that.

I started the morning demoralized, and Farrah helped by standing upright on her hind legs, head turned, to reach around for a wash. At that same time, I attempted to rise with a chorus of snaps, creaks, and other odd bone noises.

Unfortunately, I had promised a coffee and some shopping with a friend so I shouldn't have slept in and today will be a rush.

Hello to Jane and Amy and so many others checking in. It's nice to see and hear from everyone!

Amy · November 03, 2023, 02:30:41 PM

Slowly getting the job on the quilt done but it isn't without mishaps!! Just a little more work and it too can be put to bed, (pun intended)

Jenny, seems to me you have a lot on your plate to deal with..I do understand why you would like to postpone for a while. My friend also has a lot on her plate and postponed her eye surgery untul Spring. She needs her pacemaker changed and may need a valve transplant. If it is not one thing it is another!! No, your not a quitter.... you just know your own body.

Patricia,you mean Farrah doesn't get you up?? My neighbours cat would paw her on the head to wake her up

The fellow has been and gone and the dish relocated. Nice young man ,knew what he was doing and went straight to work on our problem. Now I hope when it snows we won't have too much of a problem cleaning the dish off.

MarsGal · November 03, 2023, 05:03:00 PM

Thanks for all your well wishes for Sue. The doc called me and said everything went well and that she was in recovery. I got over to the hospital just after they got her to her room. Other than looking like she was about to fall back asleep and a bit of nausea, she said she felt pretty good, then proceeded to tell me a was welcome to go because she wasn't up to chatting with anyone. The doc said they wouldn't do too much this afternoon, but tomorrow they will be getting her up to do some PT and learning to use her a walker. The stay is supposed to be for only one night, so if she does well, I will be carting her home tomorrow afternoon.

patricia19 · November 03, 2023, 05:15:41 PM

Amy, I wish I was able to take a photo of her standing upright on her back paws and reaching her head around to tongue wash her back! Not a humanly possible act!
