Phyllis...In a town about 50 miles from me they re-in-act Bethlehem. They used several large buildings and make the town. I worked it one year. I understand missing your mom. They can leave us so suddenly. Try to see her as much as you can. Buzz... my day off just flew by. Oh well, I will have a week for Christmas. lin....I noticed that the traffic was really bad in my town yesterday. Must be shoppers. Wow Barbie....a 94 year old cousin!!! Does that mean that long life runs in your family? It does on my dad's side. His brother died last year at 96. All on my mom's side die young. Jackie...I just got Netflix and was looking though some TV shows. Call the Midwife was there. I am going to check it out because I have had Midwives for some of my births.
I am going out to find something that will hold my kitchen trash can in place. My husband's dog knocks it over all the time. Actually, this morning I decided to leave the mess on the floor because if I clean it up the dog will just knock it over again. (I know that I will break and clean it up....I hate the mess).0 -

Sandy I know how to get there got it mark in my favorite . I was talking about they used to have under our pictures the numbers days . we posted and the year we join MFP. I understood Barbie say the still do for on the threads but I did not see it. Also at that time we could click on the day we join and see all of our posting. But no more. There is a lot I don't know about this new format. But I am noticing that my eyes are really blurry this morning.. I will clean my glasses and see if that helps
The sun is out now. Enjoy today for tomorrow the storms arrived.

A gorgeous day but already at 2.25 the sun is disappearing and temperature falling. As ever George and I took a long walk across the moors where at one point I always stop to look at the view that spreads for many miles into the next county of Devon and think myself so blessed to be living in a peaceful corner of the world because there's nothing more than a few fluffy clouds dotting the sky and sheep bah-bah'ing in the distance!
Barbie ~ Yesterday I managed to only get through A-B of Christmas cards and today have promised myself C-G and then the rest tomorrow and agree it's the notes that get added that take the time. The majority go to those I rarely talk to these days but do like to stay in touch with because they were a big part in my life once upon a time.
Becky ~ If you can view Call the Midwife do your best to start at the very beginning of what I think were 3 series because so much happens even though it's a rather gentle story on the whole.
Buzz ~ I won't spoil the surprise about the special guest although in the UK it didn't stay a secret for long! Can't wait to see how the person fits in!! Although I was pretty scathing of the last series you may well enjoy so please don't be put off by my comments. Finally I've been sent dvd of The Butler through the Amazon rental so look forward to watching it this evening.
Phyllis ~ Wonderful news that your mother finally got her hip replacement and with plenty of physio should be on her feet again soon. A 94 year old friend had a stroke in April and spent months in hospital and then care home mostly off her feet so we thought she'd never walk a gain but brilliant care and her determination has her walking again. It's so difficult to live life away from loved ones but Becky's right, visit her when you can so no regrets in the future.
Must get on so I wish everyone I've missed a happy Saturday.
Jackie

Marie...let me know if you find a way to find out our starting dates. I am curious. Jackie...I will have to watch those. Right now I am watching Gilmore Girls. That is my favorite show.
I hope that everyone's Saturday is going well.0 -
Im fine, work work. Maybe be back next weekend
Phoebe0 -
Becky I sent MFP the question about our joining date. Will let you know if I hear from them
Phoebe you have been gone a long time, I bet you are ready for a home cook meal take care
Marie0 -
Hi!! I let another day slip away from me! I did made almond milk, a batch of crackers, portobello mushroom pizzas, tried to organize some paperwork (lots left), and worked on my electronics today. Need to get some walking in. I have things in the car so I can stop by the library (return), the hardware store (recycle CFL bulbs) , Costco (return), and Goodwill (donation). My check for church tomorrow is written and I have a little gift bag packed up for a family that's having a hard time---hope it doesn't insult them.
Oh my, seems like I should have gotten more done but there you go---that's all!!
Hugs to all. Need to clean up a few dishes, walk around.......
Lin0 -
Marie and Becky, I don't know how you can find your exact start date but I know how to find the month you joined.
*on your home page click on "Community" at the top
*then click on the bell shaped icon at the top on the right
*scroll down to "all notifications" and click on that
*the page that shows up will tell you what month you started and some other information about your posts. Lin, I love days when I can cross off many items on my "to do list" Becky, my 94 year old cousin's mother lived past 90 but my mother lived only into her 70's as did her mother...I'd love to live to a very old age, but my best plan is to live one healthy day at a time. Jackie, I do the same thing you do.......look around where I live and express my gratitude for living in such a beautiful place.....my neighborhood is quiet and peaceful with many tall evergreen trees and we can see the Olympic mountains when we walk and from our dining room window.
Phyllis, hearing about your mom in the hospital makes me grateful that I lived near my mom the last years of her life.....living there had not been my first choice but it turned out to be a blessing. Barbie

Hi, y' all, quiet day but busy with who knows what? SANDY, is everything clear? I guess so, but still think your nephew's daughter look just like you! You have a beautiful family!
PHYLLIS, amazing how well you have adapted to two such different cultures! I fully understand your concerns about not being with your Mom, but c'est la vie, and it sounds like it has been a good one!
So sorry, but I'm nodding off again and adding keys by the pageful! Everyone have a peaceful Sunday! Buzz 0 -
Becky, Just do what Barbie says and you can find out what month and what year you join. Easy pissy Thanks Barbie

Brrr, thawing out after a cold, windy walk before settling down to finish writing my Christmas cards because I'm determined to get them posted tomorrow and so tick off one more job. The honey extractor is still sitting in my garage where I placed it after collecting a couple of weeks ago so my next job should be to get my clever bee's honey jarred rather than it sitting in the middle of the spare room still on the frames they use to produce the golden nectar. A sticky job but it has to be done! Last night I sat up late (after midnight) to view a wonderful meteor show that sent streaks of light that looked like dozens of shooting stars across the sky. Makes me appreciate just how small we are in the order of things! No clouds to spoil the view but although the experts said the best time to see it would be 2am I was fast asleep by then.
Barbie ~ Your surroundings sound just as peaceful and beautiful as mine and those Olympic mountains a sight to behold. Unfortunately the invention of the sat nav brings far too many vehicles along our narrow lanes looking for a shortcut while still driving as if on a regular road. Many don't seem to appreciate the lack of a white line in the centre doesn't mean they can fly round blind bends in the middle of the road and it's one good reason why I drive a 20 year old Maverick truck that doesn't cost a fortune to be repaired and has little value left to be lost!!
Phoebe ~Great to know you're both ok...thanks for checking in!
My new laptop keeps scaring me by flipping the page I'm on off to one side so I think I've lost it but having finally got MFP back with this post I'm going to finish before it does disappear.
Happy Sunday everyone.

Good Morning,
I started a post on my tablet yesterday and forgot to post it. Too busy I guess.
We had the parade yesterday, only 3 of us on the float and 4 people handing out candy to the kids. Not many pictures were taken by us so we are hoping some other people took some so we can put it in the club's Newsletter. There were 10 of us helping to decorate but not too many showed up to participate. We had fun anyway waving at the crowd and the little ones and telling them Santa is coming! I will try and post a picture if we can get someone to send us one. We had lunch afterwards made by the Commodore and his wife,
burgers, peameal bacon on a bun, chili, and hot drinks.
Today I think I will tackle some wrapping of presents and see where I am with my list and if anything needs to be bought. I am going shopping with my friend Donna on Tuesday.
LIN - Glad you are home from your trip. Are you spending Christmas with your Dad?
BARBIE- Wow, a lot of hats were made for Head Start. Everyone was busy. There will be some people with warm heads this winter.
PHYLLIS - Sounds like a lovely time at your church and you got to celebrate your faith.
MARIE- I have been here on MFP for about 4 years now going on 5 in July.
JACKIE - I never watched Call the Midwife but we have it here in Canada. It looks like a good series. I can probably get it on Netflix. Looking forward to Downton Abbey in January.
JERI - Feel better.
SANDY - Such a lovely family picture.

Happy Sunday!! I am home and had a wonderful time. Yesterday was beautiful and was able to sit in the sun before heading to the airport. I am going to Mass this morning so keeping this brief and will try to get back later. I hope all are well and you have a wonderful day.

One Day at a Time0 -
There were two lovely decorated trees in our church this morning. They are beautiful! Both were lit and atop one of the trees is the angel they've used every year that I've attended there. It has lights and the wings move slowly back and forth. So peaceful.......
I hope everyone has a pleasant day. I need to try to find a way to speak with my dad today. It is very difficult with all of his disabilities---hearing, inability to use anything mechanical, etc.
Lots of fresh veggies to wash and cut up. Checks to write. Things to do...........! Watching Christmas programs on the INSP network.
Hugs.
Lin0 -
Welcome home sandy. So glad to have you back.
Beautiful tree Lin, can I borrow it for
We
are not putting one up, except a Small one with cowboys decorating.
For some reasons I am fascinate with big bows hugs to all. Marie0 -
Sure thing Marie---borrow away. Darn, I should have taken a picture of the angel this morning...........didn't think of it. If it works, I'll post a picture of one of my special ornaments from days gone by. This one is a candlewicking ornament. My mom and I went through a craze of making things when we learned how to do this. I hadn't thought about it for years until I ran across this ornament in my LARGE stash of memorable ornaments from days gone by.
It will probably be on its side again. I am not doing well with this part of posting pictures. The glass bell next to the candlewick is part of a set of Italian glass ornaments that were my mom's.

Let's see if this one is also on it's side........it shows many of the things I put underneath my tree......(or maybe it will be upsidedown or something....my challenge for you to try to see what the heck I'm trying to show you)!

Hello All,
Sounds like everyone is busy. Ed and I are still sick but I said that was enough and went down and dug out Christmas decorations and put them out. Still have to do the tree.
If we could stay home and do nothing we'd do better. Yesterday we thought we were finally starting to feel much better. We went to our daughter and her son's band concert. Melanie is playing the oboe and Zach the euphonium. Mom's can learn for free with their kids in the homeschool band.
Then this afternoon we had go to our granddaughters Calgary Girls Choir concert. Great, but too long.
Poor Ed now has an awful sore throat. Yesterday he felt good. You figure.
Good night all.

Love the photos, Jeri, hope you both go to the doctor, again if you've already been, these awful things going around are tougher than the average colds. Should be home Friday. Marie i got the book, no time to read though
Phoebe0 -

We have got our Christmas plans all made. We are having it the Sunday after Christmas at Kathy house so Kylee can be with us. I will eat around the food available like I did for Thanksgiving. According to the book I can have a dessert if I leave off my carbs. So I may have a moderate piece of chocolate cake. That means no dressing. So I will have to make a choice. I will take several non starchy veggies with me
lin I am going to work on a scrappy poinsettia with my new design. Look like the sun is going to be out today so I can open the door and let the light in so I can see better to thread the needle. Posting the design. I plan to used a different red print for each petal if it works out Ok. Good Monday morning Sneakers
Marie0 -
Ok Marie...I will try again.0

I went to the bell. It only allows me to choose how I want announcements to be sent.0
