Best/Worse/What did I learn today? Chat with friends, old and new..come sit a spell

Morning, rainy day in my neighbourhood..

Just heading out to hospital for some tests, have a load for town dump then think I will dropin and pick supplies needed for fruit pies, if I go to buffalo for the day Saturday i would have all thefixings for pies early Sunday or who knows maybe if not overly tired could make them when I get home Saturday..

Need

2 Apple
1 blueberry
1 cherry
2 lemon merangue
3 pumpkin

Know I’m forgetting one or 2

Well it’s time to leave,hope they find veins

Here I am at the hospital and they say my test has been cancelled???

Wait8ng to find out why..

It would have been nice if someone let you know before you made the trip! Hope you get some answers, Betty!

came back that I had it the night before they discharged me.

When they called me with appointment date I told them had one and was advised this one was different than that I had..what a waste of the morning, you would have thought they could have at least called and told me it was cancelled due to it being same , big sigh

aw geeze, Betty - they need to get their act together...... a huge waste of time, for sure.
We got a pressure canner yesterday - looking forward to doing some of the recipes included in the book with it - Quinoa is one of them, and I have some but have never made it. Not sure how, but with a recipe, I will ✌

Sorry you had to make the trip for nothing.
Do you make pecan pies?

Happy birthday "M". Have a great day.

No pecan pies lindakay..you rarely see pecan pies here.

Good morning.

No sleep here.

I will not be hosting the Santa Warren Christmas Exchange this year. We have had 7 great years but it is time to move on. I hope someone will host a Christmas Exchange on this thread. I will look forward to participating in it.

Many thanks for the birthday wishes :-)
Still molly coddling DH .. physio early this morning, but, he is getting better ..

~M~

Susan - jeans... don't you love them?? since they changed policies at work they are all I wear 6 days a week.
Betty, how frustrating. You seem to have taken it in better humor than I would have. That is great news about the home visits.
I could take on the Christmas exchange, everyone mails direct to each other after the hostess sets up names so that is doable for me.
Happy Birthday M.
Linda, I was raised with walnut trees so I learned to put walnuts in "everything". It's painful to pay grocery prices for what I used to have for free! LOL Pecans are even more expensive.

Dianne, we totally understand. Please count me in for a Christmas exchange.

Betty, are you out shopping?

Anyone heard from Betty?

I’m here, darn cord on my iPad it charging, hope it’s the cord and notthe iPad connection.

Beautiful sunshine day, calling for rain but likely not before evening.

Making my list of ingredients needed to do my pies for Sunday, will go into Walmart and see for cord while doing groceries.

Was up,early, sewing mom’s cross stitch blocks together..will be a large throw unless she wants to get another package of blocks to do

If she decides it’s big enough I’ll put it on the frame, anxious to try the new stitch regulator jeff connected.

Mom’s cross stitch, ready so sew rows

That is so pretty.

gone for 3 days, behavior yourself Betty!

Mom just left for a visit with her brother Don then on to aunt Muriel’s, she will be back to sleep..I’m off early a.m. and didn’t tell her where I was going ooops..

I’ve got my list of supplies I need for pies, was short a few spices for pies plus was asked to make my turnip so it will be quick run 8nto town

But, first I must get dressed lol

It is almost normal to see people at the store in their jammies and slippers.
Pretty sad.

Tom just called me,Aline just had a heart attach,has blood clots,rushing her to Newmarket hospital

oh Betty - so scary for Aline! Hope things improve quickly & she comes home soon. I'm proof that blood clots can be dissolved well, just have to keep active.

sunny today - Bob's going to put the skirting on the tub, and do the balance of the siding on the west side, and then work on the front of our home - it needs to be sided since our new windows were put in.
So, new tub, new floor, new wallpaper (on door wall), new tub surround, new paint (on mirror wall, and on toilet/washer/dryer wall) and now..... I'm sewing a new shower curtain.
Betty - you remember the panel we did in the Round Robin - my peacock? That's going to be the center panel on our new shower curtain. I was going to make a bed quilt, but this goes so well with the colouration of our bathroom, but I just Knew it had to be. I'm handstitching it to the bottom of the current curtain, then I'll sew up the sides & top. It's shorter than the current one, which will leave a white area at the top, however, I'm going to embroider that white panel. You know how I love embroidery!

Susan, why not hang it in front of the shower curtain separately. That way if it gets dirty, you can wash it.

oh, I am - plastic shower curtain behind, and a separate cloth one on a separate rod.

That is just gorgeous, Susan! I love it!

Thank you.
The Best part is, when I got back my Round Robin, some extra peacock material was included, and I now have some to put at the top of the shower curtain. When I get the shower curtain up, and Bob installs the tub skirting, I'll take pictures. He installed our vintage wood door today, too! I just love it. Now, I'll have to restain the door frame mahogany, to match the door 😊😉

Ok

Just spoke to Tom, the took Aline to Newmarket then transferred her to Toronto..they said she is lucky so far making it through 3 operations

Made it so far..has 11 intervenes to keep her sedated, for blood clots etc...poor Tom, couldn’t stop crying

Her sister called and left message, I returned call but had to leave a message

Thanks for the update. Sending lots of prayers.

poor Tom - not surprised he's so emotional. This is a scary time for them.
Prayers for all.

Waiting for update

Happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian friends.

Happy Thanksgiving Betty, your pies look delicious.
Hoping for some great news, officially tomorrow but maybe even later today. Does that sound mysterious enough? We have had a very crazy few days.

By you both

Ahhh Karen, could you perhaps be hanging a ‘sold’ sign

Praying you get the good news.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Have lots to be thankful for..

~~~~~ to everyone

Happy Thanksgiving! Your pies look awesome, Betty!

We got the bathroom finished today - tub skirting was the last to do, and it's done!!

Got back from our Thanksgiving, lordy it was cold, roaring fire going but to cold/damp for me

Just ran hot bath then it will bebed time for me.

Spoke to Tom, Aline is still with us, they have her in a semi coma, say her heart is working okbut still not out of the woods..

Prayers greatly appreciated

Paryers being said for Aline - she will rest & heal in an induced coma - this is a good thing. She's in the Greatest Surgeon Of All Time's Hands - bless her, O Lord.

Keeping her in our prayers.
