Well, eyes getting heavy
Might just doze off
Morning all
Brrrr it's a cold one, wind sure makes you want togethander into bed and cover up brrrr
Even Riley decided she only wanted to be out for a few seconds.
Going to have a quiet day, sew a bit, maybe finish a project or two
Sharon gave mom a bag of her daughter's clothing that doesn't fit her anymore, name brand..my cousin in midland will bring them to the islands when going at end of month so I might take a ride to town to drop them off
Other than that not much going on
Frosty and dark here in the north ... daylight savings bites !!
Grocery shopping and some Hospice stuff on my agenda ..hoping to hear re Lorna's new Mule and it's arrival date out here.
DH is coming off the prednisone, and, having some rough times :-(
Hope everyone has a picture perfect week ..
~M~
Lorna will be thrilled when the new mule arrives..old one got her through the winter!
Sorry to hear aboutGord, did the doc advise him he can no longer take the prednisone?
Wouldn't it be nice "M" for all of us to have such a week.
Sigh .. the Mule will be ANOTHER week in arriving ..Lorna is SO patient about it ..
Grocery shopping was 'meh' .. price of beef and pork has sky rocketed .. paid $7.85 for 1 1/2 pounds of lean ground beef ON SALE !!
Stopped at Timmies then home to change and get outside with the dogs, BUT .. the wind from the lake is just SO damp and cold !! Lasted 40 minutes, and am in now to have a shower then start supper ..
TTFN
~M~
That is about what we pay here! Pretty sad you can get e nice steak for just a bit more!
lordy "M" we're on the same wavelength..I pick up a few things, really a few thing and lb of hamburger..same..I used to eat the mock chicken in pkg..holy wah, cost me $6 and change
walked out and spent $54 and it was in 2 little bags
Everyone must be hibernating today, so quiet
Am sure a Suet we will be well fed lol
I am here, just being lazy today. My hip and back is sore today, so I took a Vicodin, and it makes me tired!
Glad you are resting
Venison?? Ohwah! I'm there!
Hi everyone.Wow quite the nightmare I woke up to....awell it'll melt on Wednesday, hehehe, at least I hope.
Well, I've been kind of digging this laze mode I'm on. Went to the FB games and well, I'm a tiny bit addicted, sigh, I did have fun, lol still trying to figure out what I am doing.
Today, is my Mumma's Birthday! How I miss her. We had Dr. appts today. Went very well.
Armwrapping you all Up...
Sorry about the nightmares Judy!
Glad the Dr. appts went well.
Happy Birthday to your Mom!
How much snow did ya get Judy?
Ours is to arrive on Wednesday, not lots, but, enough to cover the grass which is just showing again ..
Saw my first ROBIN yesterday :-)
Sorry to hear about your hip and back LK .. I sure do know how awful both are .. even after having had my R hip replaced I need a Percocet (Vicodin) at times.
Not sure what's up today.. perhaps more raking, play with the pups ..
Cold this morning .. maybe 18F
Off to coffee myself
~M~
Sorry to hear you are still having pain "M"!
Sure wish I could send ya some of our heat. It is 64 this morning!
We got about 5 inches of snow yesterday, I'm not that far from Judy, so she probably got similar. It looked so pretty, though. Supposed to have rain tonight, back yard will be all mud for sure!
Morning all
-18 here, now where "M" did you get your nice weather, bet those southern gals are sending it up to Judy,Deb and you. Weatherman says maybe freezing rain tomorrow
holy wah, still can't see much of the ground and you northern gals are raking, what's with that?
Sorry everyone is dealing with so much pain, no fun for sure..I haven't graduated to percocet yet, hoping not to.
girls are coming around 9:30 to do snowman runners so I was getting everything organized, now having breakfast and doing my hair..before you know it they will be here.
Judy, hugs, know your mom will be in your thoughts..no matter how long they've gone to be with our Lord we still miss and feel them with us.
What a difference a few hours makes ..
DH brother is coming for lunch and a visit, and, the temps dropped .. I was going to wash some tops and put them on the line, but, the gate is frozen solid to the patio :-(
I was going to put hot water on it, but, DH said it'd freeze right away .. guess I'll wait til the weekend ..
One job we are doing for sure today is RETURN WINE BOTTLES!! Jeeze, I haven't drank wine for about a year, and I have at least 20-30 to return .. have had them bagged in the garage and just never think to haul them along into town .. but, now we can take them to Kakabeka Falls, a small community west of us, and a fella who owns a garage is the depot for them .. 10 cents a bottle I think .. Gord has a case of beer empties too, maybe we'll take them as well .. they are 2 years old ! Great drinkers huh .. NOT
I like a glass of good rye every so often .. straight up .. but, no one else drinks, so, why bother.
Best get movin ..
NEVER forget my Mum's BDay .. think of her daily .. my Dad too ..
That's what memories are all about :-)
TOODLES
~M~
Good morning and Good Day!
some fun random pictures!
hey Bev...check out my keleidascopes! Found this cool little toy. lol had it for years, found in my great cleanup
Linda Kay, my table with the Italy trip, big smile, just about ready to continue!
lol and have to have a few of my feathered family!
And so Jacobs gardening begins!
I think he said the short green plant is kale.
He has been talking about a hydroplontic (?) growing, wanted to give it whirl!
I can't believe how healthy these are!
Love the pictures Judy. Everyone looks busy.

Morning all,
Judy a big armwrap to you and Happy Birthday for your dear Mom. Today is my Shanes birthday also. Many special people on this day. I am fixing his favroties, and lucky his mouth is healing and he can eat them. lol
Hugs to you all.....Reading and trying to catch up when I can.
Back to the Cardio on Thursday & GP on Friday. No changes really.
Debbie
Happy Birthday Shane!
Thanks Linda Kay, I am happy he is home this year. Haven't done this for him in 3 years now I think.
Amelia told me we needed more strawberry jam so today she & Bumpa had a jam session. Jam is serious business with much tasting involved.
Neat Judy. I like all indian stuff too. BEV
Karen that is awesome that she loves to cook.
How are you doing?
Well lasagna is ready for the oven and the raspberry dessert is in the fridge.
I'm OK Linda, impatient with my self at times. So looking forward to going away for a while. I really need this. My cardiologist said to be more patient it will get better. He said look at me I had a double hip replacement and I'm doing great. I told him yes and you're 30 years younger and don't have diabetes and leukemia for crying out loud.
Sure sorry to read you're still in pain, it's so exhausting. Do wish a solution could be found for you. I haven't seen about your dad lately, how's he doing?

Evening all,
Happy birthday Shane..mom's spoiling the heck out of you..am sure she is tempting you as well with homemade meals to keep you nearby, sure hope it works..wish I lived closer because I'd be dropping in for the celebration.
Lordy we are all a hurting it seems, prayers for all
Just love the photo's Judy..can't believe just how much Jakob's features are changing, I'd not likely have recognized him on the street.
Been sunny here but cold, not sure it made it out of the minus weather
Karen, how adorable is that, memories in the making
What a day in Santa's workshop
Girls got all 5 of their snowman blocks done, next week comes the borders, quilting they can do on their own!
I worked on a bordered periwinkle quilt, all quarters of the block are done, enough for today, tired and chilled..running hot bath, have some strawberry pudding cake just sitting there waiting for me to make a coffee and put feet up
Karen, Dad is doing really good, he seems to be liking the nursing home a lot. He has made a lot of friends there. He loves to kiss the nurses hands when they tuck him in bed at night! :)
smiling, think your dad is much like Joyce's dad, lordy he loved the ladies, what a sweet talker he was
how wonderful he loves the seniors complex and has friends, half the battle right? Sure wish my mom would consider looking for a place, just know she'd do well

Sure wish she could move in for a month as a trial. That might help her decide.
Awwww glad to hear it Linda.
Growing up the grands favorite memory up here is every year the 4th of July we made strawberry jam. All the kids took turns stirring & the adults did the rest. At the end of the weekend every one got their fair share of jam to take home. It would last them nearly a year. All are so spoiled, won't eat store bought.
Here's the recipe:
40 lbs. strawberries, 70 lbs sugar, 32 envelopes of Certo(2 per box), one quart lemon juice. 45- 4 cup containers.
There is a fruit processing place up here where we bought the strawberries. They came in 5 gallon buckets all cleaned and ready to use for the same price as pick your own.
I'm going to mark down that recipe Karen, tks
LindaKay, she spent 4 months in the fall when she broke her hip and did well, actually best I'd ever seen her mentally..positive attitude, put on weight
Praying hard they call her to say an apartment is available where aunt Muriel is
Thought I might get in my jammies and read a bit but somebody isn't ready to share my side of the bed
