Good morning, been a bit all over the place here as my DIL is deep cleaning my bathroom tiles and doing some grouting plus new sealant around the bath so the bathroom has been out of bounds for a couple of days and something had such a strong smell we had to open all the windows to breath ! They just left and flying this afternoon its a nice day so it should be a good flight ! Alone again and its going to be awhile as he has work that he can’t leave but I never expected him to… Read more »
Good morning Beryl, When you said DIL I thought it was Nathan’s wife but realized it was Mark’s. That was really nice she did that work in your bathroom.♥ Happy you can now get in and use it. Since you rent the landlords should fix things that go wrong but I know that isn’t always the reality. I can understand feeling lonely when family leaves. I felt it a lot last winter at this time when Gabe and family visited and then left. I can feel sad a few days after getting used to them being gone. Great that you… Read more »
Ho nice that your bathroom was fixed up for you. It is lonely after company leaves ♥♥
Pure joy for me ! 🤗
Hi Beryl.
Good job done there😘
I can’t believe looking at the tiles and all around the bath its now white instead of black, lol ! 😉
Hi Beryl
How wonderful that Mark’s wife cleaned your bathroom for you 💖
It was I felt guilty as she worked hard for hours but she is a kind lady !
oh, that’s nice, Beryl! 😍
Good Morning
We had a great time at lunch with our friends…there were 10 of us. All of them used to work together in the 80’s at the Marriott downtown except for four of us spouses.
Rick will be busy prepping for our turkey dinner tomorrow. I will make the cranberries this morning.
Another cold morning of 45°
Looks like a lot of fun with good food and friends together.💖 I like the pink sunglasses.
Chilly for you at 45 degrees. Guess that is the normal for you now.
We are going to have warm day time temps for a few days in the 70’s, close to 80. The nights are colder now until spring.
You wanna come here at night I have a hot water bottle now and my long sleeve nightie, Brrrrr !!
70s and 80 sounds wonderful..
Good morning.
Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam.
Just 26F at the moment with everything white with frost.
A thick freezing fog has formed so not my ideal Pretzel day.lol.
The sun is trying to burn it off but stick thick at 9-00am.
Should be clear by this afternoon when heavy rain and wind due to make a comeback.
Im really crackered now those bags to not get any lighter, need to sit awhile to recover.lol.
Coffee and Pretzel waiting now so time to brew up and get stuck in.😀😘
Good morning Ice!
I looked at Amy Jo and saw the grass had frost on it so I figured you did too.
Enjoy that 🥨
Hi Ardy.
All the frost cleared away now making room for rain and wind later.
will be no frost tonight.😘
Good morning Ice,
Cute greeting with the snow falling. I forget to click on those often.
With the 26 degrees you have, if here were precipitation you would have snowflakes! 😉
Very nice you got your pretzels and inside for the day.🥨
Hi Jenn.
Frost have completely cleared away now making room for the rain and wind from late afternoon through most of the night.
Pretzel was so good today still warm from the oven.
Oh I do feel so sorry for Denny takes me back to my youth and my teeth problems that meant I lost them all at 25.🙄😘
Good afternoon…last night my sister showed up and we watched the Raymond reunion…laughed so hard at times that tears ran down my cheeks! Today I went for coffee with my cousin for a couple hours…and now my helper is here working outside..gutters, raking, etc…I’m thinking my sister will be over tonight and we’ll watch the DWTS finale. She’s out with our mom now doing some running around…she had problems with outside Christmas lights, many of them didn’t light..so maybe they will have to buy some more. Time for more tea…
Good morning, For a long time we have been thinking of trading the truck for a different vehicle, especially now that we will not be towing anymore. Also lately I have noticed Danny struggling some jumping up into it, even though we have the back seats up and a padded bed on the floor for him. We have looked at many SUV’s and just did not find anything we really wanted. I always loved my Sis Barb’s van, she used to pile all 5 of us sisters into hers and we would go out to lunch and shopping together. I… Read more »
Hi Jenn
Was it listed from a private seller? Can you post a picture of it? How exciting!!!
We bought it at the Jeep Dealership in Myrtle Beach. They have an incredible inventory of vehicles. I will get pictures today of ours. The two back seats fold down into the floor if you want the space. Pretty amazing.
Sounds perfect for you and Danny.
Yes, perfect for Danny and I. I am so happy.😃
Congratulations on your new mode of travel.
As Ardy said we need some pics now to see why you were sold on the idea of a van.🚘
sounds good, Jen…eventually you might want to consider a ramp for Danny..you can buy one but my dad made one years ago, it folds up. But it sounds like this will be easier for him so that’s good.
Good morning……For feeling a little off yesterday morning it turned out to be a busy day. Rick went to the store and bought oven cleaner so he cleaned the oven……made work for me. I took everything out from under the bottom drawer and washed all of it and when he was done i pulled the stove out and washed behind it. I did lots of laundry, clothes and blankets and couch covers. Rick got the turek from the freezer and is in the fridge to thaw slowly. It was a chilly but sunny day and no rain so that was… Read more »
Hi Ardy, So sorry you felt off yesterday. You sure got a lot done though. Oven cleaning is not fun and it sounds like Rick needed your help with it in the end. I am not sure I have cleaned the back of a stove before it must be hard to pull it out. It is good you did not hurt your back. I think we are having a chicken or just turkey cutlets for Thanksgiving, I am making the other sides ( which I love ) but not a whole turkey for us this year. Have fun out to… Read more »
LOL He didnt need my help but he probably would of cleaned it with everything in the bottom drawer. I pull the stove out quite often, it’s easy to do.
Oh I see you emptied the bottom drawer before he started. Very good idea.😀
years ago, DH said he would clean our 1940 😮 stove/oven but hasn’t yet…still waiting………
😯
😂
Good morning.
Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam.
Woke up to a vivid red and orange sky it looked spectacular.
But today is going to be a sunny day but quite cold with a brisk NNW wind blowing.
A high of 46F this afternoon.
Glenda started something with this Squirrel it is waiting outside the back door every morning now waiting for it’s nuts.
It then rushes off over the garden fence so it is storing them somewhere very close.
Remarkable how Squirrels become quite tame with personal service.lol.
Coffee time beckons so will catch you all later.😀😘
Good morning
Glenda feeding the squirrel reminds me of the squirrel I fed while visiting JoAnn in MN years ago…..it started to come after my toes…I think it was the polish that attracted it!
Hi Ardy.
Hope you are feeling better today.
They do get very tame if you feed them and they get to know you, obviously liked your nail polish.lol.😂.
Enjoy your meal out today.😀😘
Oh yes, I was dragging from not enough sleep, since Nikki woke me twice to go out and then three more times after I stayed up and tried to sleep on the couch.
Kind of funny Ardy…lol The squirrel thought you were edible!
😅I think so!!!
Good morning Ice,
Funny how the squirrels become quite friendly when they have personal service. 😂 I suspect Glenda enjoys the little one coming daily as much as it loves getting those special nuts.💕
Sounds like you had a beautiful sunrise, they can be so spectacular!
Hi Jenn.
It has become a daily visitor now got to keep a stock of nuts in now.lol.
It has been a very sunny day apart from that cold wind.
I hope that this mornings sunrise is not pointing to some bad weather,😘
my DH used to feed a squirrel peanuts from his hand…a long time ago and squirrels after that haven’t done that…but it takes time and patience…
