Morning my dear friends, I have been busy getting the Christmas Store set up and displaying the artificial designs. Now I have to regroup and get ready to begin making the live wreaths, etc. I wil try and send you a picture of our showroom when it is complete.

I tried to catch up on your activities and in doing so I gained three pounds. Golly Gang, you are hard on my diet. I love breakfast.....best meal of the day. My favorite is creamed chipped beef over toast and coffee of course. The chipped beef must be the good stuff, not the packaged. I go to the Amish Deli and get mine and keep it in the freezer until I want to use it. Usually that is our Holiday or Weekend family breakfast with home fries.
I enjoy reading all the posts and everyone's different type of food. As a little girl that meal would have been our supper. It was cheap and filling. Now, the dried beef is almost $9.00 a pound. Not cheap anymore.

I was concerned back a few days when I saw all that blood in the posts. I am sorry I missed out on being part of it, but then at my age I need all my blood just to keep moving.
But, that does not mean I do not want to be part of your bloody group. I adore you alll.

Today it is cold. We are about 20 miles as the crow flies, from the ocean. It keeps us warmer than inland farther except when the coastal storms arrive and they do that frequently lately. It has been so rainy and cloudy I can not keep my humidity in my GH as high as I would like it. My new plants are too wet, and need sunshine bigtime.

Barney's last bloodwork has improved and the pancreas is normal again but the liver enzymes are still high and we are hoping to put him on a new med to level them out.
He is feeling good but his health really stresses me. He is my last good friend. My birds are wonderful and wake me at dawn and I love them, but Barndog is at my side every minute.

Lastly, my brugs do not appear to be happy. They would rather be outside but that is not possible. I may have to put them in the GH if they do not perk up here in the house. I had overwatered them, now they are drying again and need to be watered. I need to learn what keeps them happy. That is my big problem so any suggestions will be appreciated.

I must get busy. I am cooking off chicken breasts for Barney's meals and need to get the flock fed before I go into town for supplies. I may have to settle for a bagel only this morning. Time is flying and I move slower than I used to. Time for my daily walk too. I hope my pic came out o.k. Head was missing on preview. Just my luck I lost my head. Oh well.

I will check in again in a few days. Thanks for missing me. Love you all. JB
