thought I had better check in, sister had her chemo today, but has not returned my calls. I will call her again tommorrow and check in tommorrow night. I have to be at work at 6:40 am for a meeting. belah. can't do any swaps yet, but you sure do tempt me, Linda.

Joyce, I just use the fish tub water since I have to refresh it anyway, jug it up along with my washer water and use it in spray bottles, they seem to be very happy with that. I lost my maya, tho, I am so very sad. ashamed to tell AuntB, *Bonnie* I upended it and found the roots were rotted. one little twig is still alive in a tiny pot, doublt it will make it, it has been kinda dark in the basement until the electricians get the new breaker box put in and the long t5 lights set up in the ceiling down there. will be nice to flip a switch and not worry about a fire all the time, tho. moved my desk to the front of the heater vent in the dining room so now my feet are nice and toasty LOL.here is the last "before pic" of the basement main area... the circle wreath vines are all done now, I have new vines ready to set up there, they are hanging out in the pink bedroom on some shelves in the south window that Joe put up for me..
just think, no more clamp lights. The are adding dedicated breakers for the outlets in charlies room and the freezer room for me, tho, since I still will keep growing things in those rooms. When they came inside they were suprised to have me take them down there, they said usually no one wants them to go to the basement , because most people grow pot plants in them LOL.. i gave them a few peppers off the plants and a couple of tomatoes while they were doing their walk around. Last pic is a pic they took of us at the company christmas party.. Joe has since shaved since they called the strike off and he is finally back to work. That dress is 10 years old, but no one knew the difference. Glad I hang on to old stuff LOL.. especially good ole Joe. His mom up in buffalo is in the hospital, she now has CHF along with high blood pressure, diabetes and a ton of other stuff she has been dealing with.. All she wants is to go home she told me today . sis in law dana lost her mom the other night, she was in a nursing home with alchemiers and demetia, so dana is glad her momma went peacefully in her sleep. I decided I am going to retire in a year when I am 62, Joe is not going to retire until is either 65 or dead he said, his dad died at 68.. but his dad smoked and had cancer. They offered him an early retirement package ( he is almost 62), but he is dead set against it. His jet the 60 model does not get made anymore, he thought they would send him to school to learn composites, but instead he will be making spare parts for all the 60 models out there already. Well I am tired and worried about sister, so better get off before ya all kick me out for such a long winded post. Please know I pray for all of us here and all of our families to be healthy happy and terrific everynight. Love you. Debra
