Oh yes SANDY, I've celebrated thanksgiving here in Canada for 45 years now, prior to that Harvest Festival in the UK. It is my very favourite festival and favourite time of year in both countries. The weather today couldn't have been more perfect. Beautiful setting and beautiful restaurant and food. I was treated which made the meal even more enjoyable! A long leisurely meal then we went over to the outlet mall, and although Mark and Derek stocked up on shirts old cheapskate me just bought a bag of peanuts. Mary Jo bought 5 bottles of her favorite shampoo and gave me one bottle. So I had an absolutely perfect day with people I love, a wonderful meal and a bag of peanuts for the grand total of $10! That's truly something to be thankful for!
PHOEBE, that was one funny tongue in the cheek joke! Loved it! Ugh, what a horrid chicken story though. Like Marie I'll stick to organic fish, eggs and veggies! If I do ever buy chicken etc. I buy the Rowe Farms or the Yorkshire Farms brands which are organic. I think they are Canadian too. More expensive, but hopefully one is buying that which is printed on the package.
Well, going to put my feet up, watch Coronation Street, have a few peanuts and a small glass of red currant and rum liquor and look forward to Columbus Day next.
Cheers, Anne, the contented one.0 -
Hello Friends,
I just went through 30 posts and am caught up I think I missed a few short ones, I am just too tired to ready everyone's
sorry.
We just got back from the cottage and I had NO Wi Fi and couldn't post anything. I could play a few games without the
Wi Fi. I don't know what happened we had it in the summer and now its not there. I feel like Lin without communication.
We just got back today and I am tired. We had a great time with Isaac and that was Kathy's longest time away from him.
She did text us once to see how he was and he was doing fine. We played most of the time and I fed him some cereal
and his bottle and they came home to feed him and put his to bed. We left the next morning and picked up
Kristina at the Go Bus station and we were off.
We arrived on Thursday and Friday it did rain a bit but cleared later in the day. On Saturday Kristina and myself went
to a yoga class and then did some shopping at the Mall. We had our Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday but it wasn't
turkey and all the trimmings, it was vegetarian lasagna because Kristina is a vegetarian so we made food
around her for the weekend. It was all good but had too many snacks all weekend and I feel the sodium.
Water retention here we come. We drove home today and traffic was good because we left at 8:30 am.
A lot of people close down their cottages this weekend so traffic can be horrific. The colors of the trees
was amazing and so bright. Some of trees are still green, its very late this year.
GAYLA- I am just getting into Pinterest and inspite of my choices for information I am overwhelmed with
information I do not need and don't have the time to read it all. I just have to pick and choose what I want and
have had some good recipes on my board.
ANNE - Glad your email is working again and you are in communication. As far as the geraniums go, I have two
plants in the front of the house but I buy them every summer and don't try to save them year after year. I don't
seem to have good luck with that sort of thing. What winery did you go to? We have our boat at Niagara On The Lake
so I know it well and some of the wineries. There are quite a few of them. We also have a new Outlet Mall I
imagine that is where you are going to shop. You should like it, I do and I am only 30 mins from there.
SANDY- Good luck at the surgeon and hope all goes well.
JACKIE - That apple sign was great and too bad you live so far we could all learn about apple pressing.
JERI - You are one organized lady and good luck to you and your next apt.
Well I am like Buzz my eye are closing so i will close. I'll see if I can find a picture of the colors this weekend.
Shirley
Not very clear but you get the idea.

Good evening – dishes are washed and put away. Trash has been taken out and I’ve brushed my teeth. Laundry is finished for today---I have to wash everything that I wore or took with me the other night (Saturday) as everything smells of wood smoke which is nice when you are there but not so nice when it lingers. My trip to the dentist was okay. They found nothing to fix (yes!) and I had a conversation with them about not having X-rays so often. They have agreed to once every two years instead of each year unless a problem is found.
Marie, I don’t know anything about the Zone plan. Best wishes to you! I hope it works well for you. Wishing you good health my friend (and that you get the scale results you are looking for too!).
Phoebe, I’d leave the rose in place until next year and see what happens. I had a landscaping rose come up the next year from the root even though the top was seemingly as dead as a doornail. Good joke by the way. Ha. And I know what you mean about people with phones. When my friend was here last week, we were driving along when a guy just came over into our lane and she had to brake hard to avoid a crash---luckily there was no one on her back bumper. She then sped up to give him a dirty look or a honk----I looked over and it was a very old gentleman still messing with his phone. Totally oblivious to the fact that anyone else was on the road. Argh to the chicken story. Just nauseating.
Sandy, the weather is so odd right? It was totally scorching hot yesterday and today is was still relatively warm but we had wind warnings all afternoon. In a couple of days it should be very chilly again. I just keep changing layers of clothing and mess with the thermostat all the time hoping to avoid getting sick. A number of people are fighting off colds and viruses already (or should I say again). How did your stew turn out??
Anne, those pesky pounds sneak up on us. I hope the slice of pumpkin pie today was delicious although you didn’t mention it. So enjoy the peanuts and your glass of liquor. Perfectly economical day!!
Buzz, good day to you my friend.
Patsy, I am glad your son enjoyed his gift of tools. The visit sounds lovely with lots of conversation and a bit of champagne. My dad always gave extremely practical gifts. That didn’t sit well with me when I was young and wanted a locket or some other girlie thing. Later on new tires, carbon monoxide detectors, a car emergency kit---much appreciated.
Jackie, a long stroll across the moors sounds just perfect to me. No strolling here. Walking through the suburbs is just not the same. No peace, no quiet, and too many car emissions. I am glad George just watched the Scruff episode. He is quite wise. And I hope he got just the right number of treats as you took him for a visit with your friends.
Phyllis, welcome home from the beach. I love that you have a chalet. It just is such a perfect word!! Get some rest.
Shirley, welcome home. I definitely can understand your frustration at having no Wi-Fi at the cottage. Your holiday sounds good although snacks and sodium do NOT sound very good. Glad you’re home and hope you get some rest.
Jeri, thinking of you. Hugs.
Time to post this. I owe my cousin an email as well. Ack. Maybe tomorrow?
Good evening to everyone.

I saw the chiropractor this morning and he confirmed that the inflammation continues and the pain I have is related to that but that my walking and dancing are fine in moderation....so here I am with a ton of time and energy but can't walk as much as I want or lift weights or ride the exercise bike.....patience is very challenging
I walked the dogs for 134 minutes divided into four different walking sessions. 0 -
SHIRLEY, I can't for the life of me remember the name of the restaurant. Been there before too! I've put a text out to MJ and she hasn't responded as of yet. However it is located in Vinland, just down the road from the peanut store, and close to the new outlet mall. Lucky you getting brand names a little cheaper! I can now imagine you on your boat. Beautiful location to be at anchor.

SHIRLEY, I've remembered! Peller Estates. The liqueur last night must have addled the little grey cells.
Morning everybody,
Anne.0 -
Good morning and CONGRATULATIONS Marie!! Wahoo.............! Hope all goes well this morning with the lab work and menu planning.
I have a trip to Trader Joe's on my agenda. And a stop at the library.

Yay Marie! I think you deserve a hug!

Happy Tuesday!!
I woke up to a text this morning from my son who said I am staying home sick, take the day off. So I went back to sleep for another 2 hours. It is 52 degrees but feels like 44, they are predicting colder weather, so I think summer might just be over. 
I went to the plastic surgeon who told me my spots were basically age spots but he used a fancy medical term. I asked if I should go see a dermatologist but he said it wasn't necessary unless I wanted a full body scan Uh, no thanks. I am doing laundry and might try a new meeting since I have a day off and there is one close to my house at noon. My stew came out great so I have dinner and lunch for Robby for a couple of days.
Marie,
Anne, don't you just hate when you know something so well and the name just won't come to you?? Your Thanksgiving dinner sounds wonderful as does the shampoo and bag of peanuts with your glass liqueur.
Barbie, just a question, wouldn't it be wise to see an orthopedic just in case you have a slipped and/or ruptured disc or even sciatica? I know you love your chiropractor but do they do MRI's? Just asking.
Lin, odd isn't the word for our weather lately, one day hot, one day cold, who knows what to wear. I would like to tell my dentist the same thing about x-rays but since I have to go every four months I don't think he will agree.
Shirley, hard to take a picture while driving, but the colors are beautiful. Sorry you had no Wifi, that is frustrating for us on Facebook and Candy Crush. lol So happy you had time with Issac, they grow so fast we need every minute we can with them.
Phoebe, what a gross story about the chicken and that is where I buy my food. All of the chicken I bought does have brand labels so it doesn't sound like something was very wrong. I hope you are able to get over this experience and once again enjoy those chicken breasts, one of my favorite parts along with the wings.
Phyllis, how wonderful to spend so much time with Talia playing and holding her, love those grandchildren.
Jackie, hope you got your walk in today with George.
Patsy, back to normal days with no celebrations for now.
Have a great day.
Sandy

Beautiful picture Shirley......Issac is growing for certain and you look sooooooooo happy!0

Oh yuck, PHOEBE. I seem to recall some problem with huge numbers of chicken being destroyed for some bad reason. I just can't get into being a vegetarian so what DO we eat now? On my way down to our monthly birthday celebration dinner, but think I lost my appetite! Tomorrow we have 3 doctor appointments, flu shots scheduled,
and several appointment in between! Somebody please breathe for me?

Thanks sandy for the owls graphic And phoebe thanks for the lovely bear hugs And lin my faithful supporter, Thanks your dear. I feel I am on the right track now. If I just continue as I have been all week. I did fine some zone bars at walmart. I had a half of one before lunch. Not bad. I got the chocolate mint. They had a graham cracker one but thought it might be too glutenfied But may try it one of these days to see how it effect me. half of one was pretty rich and filled me up
Shirley issac is gowing so fast.
Yeah Buzz I just overlook all of their chicken this morning. Got me some polish sausage Which is one of my favorite meat and ham. I would not think it was the brand but the way the store handle it my daddy was in the grocer store business when I was growing up and he took orders during the week and on Saturday he would dress them so the people could have Chicken for Sunday dinner/ This is sort of gross. I wont tell you how he dress them. But they were raise in our back yard. But I can tell you my mother never did eat chicken. I am sure she did while she was in the nursing home now me I cannot cooked chicken and eat it.. I have not fried a chicken for jerry since all of these chicken places open up. I buy the can chicken for Jerry chicken and dumpling And if he get hungry for fried chicken he goes to one of these fast food places. in fact think I will make a Chicken salad out o one can. this week for me.
My father carry a credit to his customers and they paid him once a week. Also had the green stamps. remember those.well I ramble on long enouht.
Be happy
Marie

Marie - If you pass me on the scale I am in trouble. I have started to cut my portions of eating but still eating good food but
less of it to see if the scale will go down. I weigh in tommorrow
That code was really scary looking.
I guess the gardens won't get cleaned up my themselves. The weather here is really changing and getting
colder. It's supposed to get down to 46F on Saturday.
Have a wonderful day!

Marie, what an awesome week! Welcome to the 180s.

Happy Wednesday!! Bad night of sleeping, but a great day with Robby. I am not going to bingo for at least three weeks if not more, trying to save some money for our casino weekend on the 26th. Robby was perfect with a half hour nap this morning and almost two hours this afternoon. Wish everyday was like that.
Marie;
You are on fire, Marie, keep up the good work!!
Shirley, I have the same problem with my weight going up and down. I thought for sure I had a loss this morning but it was a gain. It must be my stew, that is why I don't like homemade meals, they are not good for my weight.
The lean cuisine is just enough and less calories, but I will finish eating my stew so it doesn't go to waste. At least Robby liked it for lunch.
Patsy, it looks like you hit the URL or changed your language on Word if you use it to post here. Just strange but sure it is fine today if you try again.
Hope everyone else is doing well, time to catch up on my games.
Have a great evening.
Sandy

Great news for Marie. So proud of you. You work hard on taking care of yourself.
Chiro again today. Back is misbehaving.
Not much accomplished today. Truly, I'm ready for bed. Guess I'll try to stay awake until 10pm anyway.
Everyone have a great day. It's beautiful here, mid 70's.
