Good morning,
Talking to sis on on FB PM, she is saying Deena has day surgery today to remove a node, this is the best way for them to know what type Lymphoma she has. Deena had told me it was Friday but the appt. changed to today. Barb said Monday also when I talked to her. All 4 of us talking at different times can get confused.
Feeling bad about the Patriots losing but it has been a phenomenal year! What a come back for the team. Only bright skies ahead it will be great next year.

It is sad when they lose but I am proud of the team and how far they came, all the way to the Super Bowl this year!
Thank you for prayers for Deena.💗

Hi Jenn
Prayers for your sis Deena 🙏🏻💜
The Patriots had a phenomenal season. Even though they lost, they should be proud they made it all the way to the Super Bowl.

Good morning After church yesterday I stopped at Walmart for a few things. Rick was busy putting together all our appetizers for the Super Bowl game. I was never into football but after being married for 40+ years it rubs off on you…..so we always watch and make appetizers even if our teams arent playing. I was saying how the drain basket or whatever they are called fits right to fill the sink with water but they never seem to fit right so the water runs out and the food particles dont go down the sink. So I said i… Read more »

Hi Ardy
How upsetting that Rick fell and hurt his knee to the point of bleeding. I hope he’s okay 🙏🏻
I wish the drain stoppers had smaller holes. Like you, I’ve had small food particles go down the drain before. Now I thoroughly wipe our bowls and plates with a paper towel before rinsing them to prevent food from going down the drain.

Rick wipes the bowls out too. I would let smaller food particles go in the garbage disposal but that is gone now.
This drain catcher that we used when we had the disposal works well.

I wipe mine that way too Kathy and Denny will do that also. Does help to keep bits of food from going down the drain.

I’m considering ordering this sink strainer from Amazon. It won’t stop the drain for filling the sink but if I’m only rinsing dishes to go in the dishwasher it should catch any food particles that I might have missed when I wiped the dishes.

Those are like the one i showed you, mine is rubber . If Rick needs to thaw frozen meat then i will put the original sink strainer in.

Oh poor Rick, I am so sorry he fell that hard. Amazing he did not break or fracture a bone when he fell. I do hope he is not hurting too bad this morning.🙏
We have a garbage disposal but do not use it. Denny puts water down it and turns it on now and then to kind of rinse it.

sorry that Rick was hurt, hope he’s ok…we don’t have a garbage disposal but put leftover cat food and small things down the drain, DH said that’s ok to do.

It is hard to avoid but the thing I have now takes care of that for the most part.

Good Morning! Following a low overnight of 29, sunshine is expected today with a high of 58. Craig and I enjoyed a relaxing and restful Sunday. We both took naps during the day. We had no interest in the Super Bowl so when not napping we watched some of our favorite YouTube channels. This morning Craig has a 7:00 AM dental appointment for his permanent crown as well as getting a night guard. Our dentist thinks that Craig clenches his teeth when he sleeps. I plan to wash our bedding today to have fresh mattress pad, sheets and bedspread for… Read more »

Good Monday morning.
Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy ,Lynn, Pam.
A brighter morning and dry until this afternoon might see a glimpse of the sun this morning.
The weather people are saying we have at least another 14 wet days to come and getting much colder by Friday.
What a miserable start to the year nothing but rain and wind so far.😏.
Back in the warm now paper in hand and next job will be coffee and sticks.
I see Pam has flagged up your birthday Lynn so Happy birthday to you.😀😘

Hi Ice,
Gosh what a terrible weather forecast, 14 days of rain ahead. Very depressing I should think. I wish it was better for you.♥
At least having cups of coffee and the ‘sticks’ helps it be more bearable.☕
