Hello sneakers! Wishing everyone peace and love in the coming year, and always!
This morning I drove to David’s home with a supply of food for Hattie, hopefully for the last time before he visits the Consultant next Monday. He just needs more confidence and I’m sure a chat with the expert will be better than me trying to encourage him!
A very subdued night with few fireworks around the village but then we have yet another storm rattling across the country. Strong winds outside so I’ll see how George and Betty cope with a final visit into the garden before bed. At least the dog’ muddy towels were washed and blew dry out on the rotary lines!
Wow Lin, thank goodness you were driving slowly and that idiot missed you. Do you have CCTV cameras in your town that the police monitor? Someone needs a caution at least.
Enjoy your Christmas celebrations Sandy!
I must get to bed.😴

Hello and Happy New Year. This evening I watched a lovely church service with many lighted candles and a positive message.
Jackie, I watched the London fireworks. Quite a display! Also watched some from Paris and Sydney. I am hoping there are no neighborhood fireworks. You never know. Sorry to hear you have windy weather.
Still not sleeping well at night. I did a number of classes today but they didn’t pep me up. The instructors were all talking about massive changes starting tomorrow. Some of my favorite instructors, those who bring a lot of enthusiasm to classes have been moved to strength and circuit classes which I tend to avoid. The line dancing classes are cut to 20 minutes but are still to teach 2 different dances in each class. Just hardly any warm up or cool down. Will have to see how I can adapt.
Sandy, enjoying multiple holidays in one celebration! 👍🏻👍🏻 Lots and of fun.
Barbie, thinking of you. ❤️❤️
I need to see if I can find an early morning broadcast of the London parade. My university’s band is supposed to be playing and I would like to see them. Not likely though.
I will settle for the Tournament of Roses Parade. 🌹🌹

Happy New Year!
Had a great time with the kids and parents last night. Lisa had strobe lights and smoke coming out of a machine that the kids loved. We went to Church, came home and ate tons of food, opened presents (again) and had a ten minute countdown from Disney. Lisa also had confetti that blew out of a container that the kids twisted on the bottom and it exploded all over! It was so much fun and we also did karaoke which was hysterical. I left around 7:30 and stopped by Cheryl to toast to a New Year. She was home alone with two dogs as she dog sitting for Marisa. Came home and watched New York come in and then Chicago before collapsing in bed. I hope your NYE was fun and the new year brings us all good health and keeps us good friends.
(thinking of you Barbie

Enjoy your New Year's Day!

Happy New Year everyone. We went to a movie then hung out and watched tv waiting for the New Year. We were going to go to our daughter’s except it was snowy and cold. They were having friends over after church in the evening. We’ll drop over today. I have a pan of squares for them.
Recovering from surgery (Dec 11th) on my right little finger for Dupuytren’s Contracture. Ed and I had COVID just after my surgery. Luckily we recovered in time for Christmas.
Big hugs to everyone

Oh no, sorry to hear that Jeri. My DIL also had covid before Christmas so ours was postponed until yesterday. Glad you are on the mend from your surgery and covid.
Happy New Year!

Hello.
Good to hear from you Jeri. Sorry you have been through surgery and that darn virus. Glad to hear you and Ed are feeling better. I hope your winter weather is not brutal this season.
Sandy, what a lot of fun! Glad you stopped to see Cheryl. Nice of her to dog sit.
Barbie, I hope you and the pups had a quiet evening.
Jackie, I saw a YouTube video of the London Parade. Wow, that is a long and very interesting parade. What terrible weather though. Everyone seemed soaked! The poor instruments, hope those were okay. I did see my University and was surprised. They did a the Pitbull song ‘Fireball.’ That song is in the playlist for my favorite dance class. How are you?
Well, must move along. Be safe everyone.

Happy Thursday! Went to my meeting but was running late so couldn't post this morning. I ordered groceries to be delivered which should be here by 5 or so. We are expecting some snow but I hope not enough to stop me from picking up Lisa's parents in the morning. I have a trial appointment tomorrow afternoon as well. Saturday is Max's birthday party, he will be 8 on Monday.
I binge watched The Squid Games which is not for the faint at heart and was left with a cliff hanger.
They should have season 3 this year, not like the last one which was ten years apart.
I just called two ladies I haven't spoken to in a long time. One is going to be 99 the end of the month and had no idea who I was until I reminded her from where. The other is an old neighbor from my first marriage who is 91 I think but I think she told me she was 96. She said she has around the clock help so she could be mistaken. She proceeded to tell me that all the old neighbors are all dead except for her. Cheery conversation. lol
I hope everyone is having a good day and staying healthy.
Sandy

Happy Thursday. Finally we are enjoying a few sunny days, although it’s very cold, and I have been making progress outside cutting up wood for kindling, donated by Linda and her sons. First thing I drove George and Betty to a low area of moors hoping to keep out of the freezing wind and can only imagine how cold it would have been if we were climbing our usual hills. The dogs enjoyed themselves though and the walk and fresh air did us good! The ground is still very mucky so more doggy paws to be bathed, but a perfect day for getting even more muddy towels washed and aired. I’ve just stood outside while Betty had a bathroom break and because there are no street lights, I get a wonderful view of various constellations, not that I can name many. No sign of drones or UFO’s thank goodness!
Glad you enjoyed the London Parade Lin although I’m not sure the spectators would in all that rain! Weren’t the bands brave and professional to carry on regardless!
Oh dear Sandy. You did make me smile about your cheery telephone conversation! I hope it doesn’t snow on you tomorrow.
My resolution for the new year was to get more sleep by getting to bed earlier but it’s already gone midnight so I’m not doing well!
Take care.

Good evening
We received snow this morning and it was intense and many businesses and schools didn’t open at all today or waited a few hours. At that point the roads were still very slippery but the snow had stopped and visibility had improved immensely. I didn’t go out to shovel snow as my sinuses are already in rebellion and it is quite cold out there now. In fact, even colder weather is expected and another snow storm either Saturday or Sunday. Luckily, my handyman showed up with a snowblower and took care of my sidewalks and driveway. I am very thankful for that.
I did quite a few of the new classes today and the schedule is confusing, I couldn’t connect to some classes (Internet problems) and I am hoping I find a routine in the next few weeks. With the changes in duration, it is more difficult to schedule classes without either cutting off some of the prior class or coming late to the next class. The new 15, 20, 30, or 45 minute classes are leaving some big gaps. The instructors are equally struggling to cope. One lady said she had 6 classes to teach but they were spread over the entire day so she couldn’t accomplish a lot without keeping eyes on the clock.
I am trying to learn about the most current technology. It is so different now. I know nothing about mesh networks, or about all the new routers and modems and all of the nomenclature that goes along with it. I did a bit of reading today but looks like a mountain to climb! Anyone have any good books to recommend??
Also need to make a birthday card for a little boy turning 3. I left him off my working list for January. I knew I needed to make something for him, just didn’t write it down.
Jackie, I saw some of the viewing spots at the parade had a cover over the top and even so, people had on rain slickers and looked cold and uncomfortable. Well at least until a great float went by or a band was playing. Glad you got some laundry done and sorry for the continued muddy paws.
Sandy, hope you got your groceries. Sorry your telephone conversations were a bit morose. It was good of you to reach out to them. Take care tomorrow as you rush about. And I hope your appointment goes well.
Barbie, are you dog walking with a friend at least once in a while? Is everything in your house working well? Are you feeling okay?
Well, time to move along. Be well everyone.

Loved hearing about your various ways of ringing in the new year. I went to bed at 7 with the dogs and woke up when the fireworks woke Bessie and she moved to be closer to me. I played some music on my phone for the dogs and they settled down so we could all sleep. Barbie 0

Happy Friday! Picked up Lisa's parents from the airport at 8:30, doing laundry and getting picked up at noon for my trial appointment. Double paid one of my credit cards so called to get a refund which they are sending in the mail. Hoping my gifts for Max arrive in time tomorrow for his party.
I was short one item with my Walmart grocery order so they are issuing me a refund.
When does life get simple?
Have a good day and hope Barbie is doing ok, I know how hard it is to lose a spouse.
