    <3 Marie...that isn't me. I don't have any numbers in my "swissmiss".

    <3 Barbie...I love your Hanukkah bear. So sweet!!

    <3 Lin...maybe you just need some extra rest. The holidays can really take a lot out of us.

    I have yet another retirement dinner to attend after work today. It is being held at a very nice restaurant. I hope that I eat healthy. And, maybe be a good example.

    I went to the bell. It only allows me to choose how I want announcements to be sent.
    I am not sure about the new set up on MFP? I get used to the old way and it is hard to make the change. We are heading off to our beach resort in a few minutes. Decided to just get out of the polluted air of Cairo and enjoy some fresh air for a few days. I was sick all day yesterday and feel a bit weak this morning but I am sure the change of scenery will be great and I'll be wonderful by the time we get back home in time for Christmas here with my son and his wife. Then we fly to Abu Dhabi to be with my daughter for a week. Hope you are all enjoying the Christmas Season. I love it.

    Would anyone else be interested in playing games at the group. We did that a while back and I didn't realize that they were no longer being played.

    Good morning,

    I just got back from a massage this morning. Yesterday was a chiro apt. and now my back is back to where it was. I will have to talk to my Yoga instructor, looks like I am having to modify some of the Yoga postures to fit the needs of my back.

    Yesterday I cleaned my upstairs and all is ready for company and dinner on Christmas Day. Looks like we are having 12 for dinner and my two girls Kristina and Kathy and my SIL
    Fraser will be doing all the cooking for me this year. What a break for Mom!

    I talked to my daughter, Kristina, and we have made plans to go a market in Toronto on Saturday which has German wares to buy. I can't wait to see it, I hear there are long line ups so I will have to dress warm. They have all the lights on at night so were are going around 3PM to see the lights too. It should be fun.

    Well today I still have to get my exercise in for the day. Take care and try and be stress free this week.

    Good grief - I just cannot keep up these days..........I don't know what the heck the problem is.........just so distracted I guess. I did a couple of errands this morning. Talked to my dad this morning---they seem to be placing a majority of calls for him now. Have no idea what he wanted. He called last night about 8pm and I couldn't understand a word of what was making him anxious. The CNA said she couldn't either but they wanted to put him to bed and he said he had to tell me something. I probably already said this but I did get his home telephone shut-off this week.

    Just paying bills, sending a few cards (I do most of mine now by e-mail), buying veggies, chopping up veggies, cooking veggies.........

    Love you guys. I look forward each day to reading your posts.

    So another picture...........here's a needlepoint rug I made a looooong time ago. Found it at my folks house. Picture isn't very good and it's been folded up for years. It will go bye-bye but at least I saw it one more time.

    Dear friends,
    I posted Tuesday but didn't see it here. Technology and me don't mix I guess.
    I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas in case I can't get on the internet next week.
    My day today may go like this:
    Breakfast, oatmeal, 1/2 banana, PB2 and black coffee.
    Lunch, Ham meal at the senior center with friends today
    Dinner, something light.
    Snack, frozen whipped yogurt. yum

    I want to do a exercise tape too. Then I would like to do more sewing. I finished the large quilt for my grand daughter. I will see if my daughter can help me with pictures for you all to see.

    I am buckleing down with my food intake. I have had so much acid reflux problems that I am really watching my food.

    Take care,
    chris

    Hi, welcome back , ISANDI, and MARIE, where do you get all your energy and patience? I'd love to chat, but have a million things to do before getting ready for tonight's GALA event, whatever that means! I really can no longer dance, but I guess an audience is appreciated, too! The potato pancakes were not the thin crispy kind I used to love, but the entertainment was superb! I just am getting too old for the pace of celebrations here. Did I ever believe I would be saying that? SANDY, high time Babe stopped counting on you to be his nurse! He allowed his DS to screw up your marriage, so let them figure out what to do! Just hug little Robby for me!
    BARBIE, LIN, SHIRLEY, SWISSMISS (I remember asking you to sign your name to posts to help old lamebrains like me!), and everyone else who is too preoccupied for today's posts, enjoy every moment of every day!
    <3 Buzz

    <3 Chris tell me about this frozen shipped yogurt. Its been ages since I had any ice cream. The photo thing is easy to do. looking forward to seeing your quilt.

    <3 Buzz dear sweetheart. You are doing fabulous. you know at our age we can say as we please do as we please and blame it on our age. Just hope I do not ever hurt anyone feelings in doing so.

    Winding down before bed after another busy day and I can hear the wind blowing down my chimney and rain against the window. Cosy in front of the fire and I'm testing the new way to post a photo of George and Jasper keeping warm during a cold snap last week!


    I've read all your posts and will hopefully find time at the weekend to write more myself but right now my bed is calling me!

    Jackie how homely your fire looks . George and jasper likes it too,I miss our Dearborn heaters since we got central Air and heat. But love that the whole house stays warm except when the wind is howling and seems to come right thru our windows. Stay warm

    MARIE - You are a lovely and talented lady, and we love you too!

    I just read everyone's posts and we are a busy bunch. Dave and I are going to a Memorial service this morning for a friend of the family who passed away. He was also too young and had a family and children. Such a hard time for families this time of year.

    JACKIE - Love the picture of your two animals. It was nice of George to smile for you.

    LIN - Hang in there honey, I hope your Christmas is more relaxing for you. You are so busy and need a break. You are another talented lady who knows her crafts.

    BUZZ - Enjoy your Gala. Are you wearing a ball gown?

    Well gotta go Dave had a friend on Skype he wants to talk too.

    Marie - Wonderful job!!!! Can you tell me exactly what your plan is.
    JACKIE - loved the picture. Marie is right, so homey.
    Shirley - love that picture too. Love cats. But have allergic family so we can't have them.
    Lin- gorgeous flowers
    Buzz - hoped it was a great night tell us all about it.
    Sandy - hope you are doing well too.
    Chris - good to see you back
    Hope Phyllis is having a great time at the resort
    Phoebe - always nice to see you
    BARBIE - no wonder you go to bed so early when you are up in the middle of the night. You are amazing

    I'm missing people I know, Becky, GAYLA, etc. Etc. But scared to go back as I'll lose my post. LOL. Buzz knows what I am like.

    Now I know I've missed a bunch of people. We are still not 100%. One day we feel we are getting better, then not so good the next. Ed saw doctor again, it is just a bad virus, or a series of viruses. Then I got a bladder infection on top of it.

    Still working on finishing our shopping. Almost there.

    My sister continues to struggle with her life. She has had nothing but bad things happen to her this last year and 2015 will be hard to as she will be going through a divorce. I feel so hopeless. Wish I lived closer. She hoped to come to Calgary after Christmas but the higher altitude is not good for her frequent heart palpitations. I doubt if she will come. I miss her.

    Oh well, give myself a shake. Hope it is a great day for everyone.

  • Well I've found myself here, I'm not sure how, and I'm not sure if I'll get back once I sign out, what a dimwit! Sandydur via Marie invited me to join your group and I said "yes please" being a bit of a loner until now. I wasn't! But I'm afraid all of my generation in my family have passed and so have most of my long standing friends. All in the last 2 years. Terrible shock, but I picked myself up and joined MFP. So thank you Sandy and Marie. BUT you are all SO creative.! Amazing. I paint a bit and I love to write, but I could never do the gorgeous needlework you gals do! Like most of you I have a much loved pet, in my case Tabitha Daisy, who was once a shelter cat but has lived with me for 12 years making her 17 years old about now. And that's about it, except I have two lovely loving sons, a beautiful D in L and two much loved grandsons. Cheers, Anne.
