Good Morning! Sunny and 44 going up to 74.
Yesterday I did some laundry but still have more I need to do. We need more burger beef so I’ll be going to The Fresh Market today since their fresh-ground sirloin is on special today. I will leave after I finish eating my breakfast.

Good morning, The sun is shining it is a little cooler 38 degrees going up to 51. Yesterday Denny said he wanted to go back to a Marden’s store to buy a winter shovel. He got one recently but wants 2. I never miss a trip to Marden’s and so happy I found a pair of Jeans I love. I never heard of the name but they were $99. and I got them for $9.99! They are soft denim and so comfy when I tried them on. I like the straight leg not tight and not baggy. We went to… Read more »

Good morning
I took everything off the top of the kitchen cupboards and washed everything. I then washed the outside of some windows that were bad after all the rain. Rick’s cousin Cathy was in Phoenix, she live in South Dakota where Rick grew up and came down to have lunch with Rick and Greg. I wasnt included because she never gets to see her cousins, Greg especially so she wanted to visit with them since they and their sister are her only cousins.

Beautiful greeting Ardy! Yours show so much bigger than mine.😀
I am sorry you were not included in the luncheon. I hope Rick enjoyed his time with them.

Hi Jenn
This is a GIF from the chat, like Ice uses too. Rick did have a nice time. He hadnt seen his Greg since before he was drinking himself to death and sister Lynn came out from South Dakota and literally saved his life. He was hospitalized last January for a week and then went home and did not want help and he has NOT taken a drop of alcohol since then.

Oh my goodness Ardy, what a blessing Lynn came to help Greg and that he is sober now. 💝 I remember when you said Lynn had come to help but did not know if he was okay. 🙏
I didn’t realize it was a GIF because usually it says GIF on them…lol

Good morning.
Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam.
A windy day today with the promise of heavy rain for the afternoon and evening.
Temp at 7=00 41F might get to 49F later.
Hearing aids are woking great, the sound quality has settled down once the brain gets used to the new setting.
How so important our hearing is.
Will be off in a moment to get the paper before the rain arrives.
Will catch you all later.😀😘

Good Morning! Sunny and 45 going up to 72. Overnight this coming Saturday we might get our first freeze of the season.
I have a few more donation items set aside. One day this week I hope to drop them off at Matthews Help Center. No official plans yet for today but I’ll figure out my agenda soon. Although, since tomorrow is our curbside garbage and recycling pickup day I definitely need to gather all of both, place in our bins and then roll both bins to the curb.

Hi Kathy,
It seems like your getting colder weather quickly after such a hot October ( if I remember right ). You will have to get your Long Johns out, that might be a Maine name for thermal underwear.😀

It’s not just a Maine name for thermals. We call them that too 😄

Kathy, in answer to your question below, my recovery time was a good 6 weeks which they do not want you to bend to lift anything like a laundry basket. The first 2 weeks were rough, I remember being excited to get in the car after many days to take a ride.

Thank you! After the first week of post-surgery care I will be taking Lauren to stay with some friends in Cary before I drive back home. They graciously offered to have Lauren stay with them so they can take over care of her during the remaining time for her recovery.

Yes it is!! Lauren used to live with these friends. One of them works from home and the other is a PA so Lauren will be in good hands.
