Home for a quick stop. It was a very long day but I managed what I did as best I could which meant not going in the super cold to the cemetery and working in the kitchen through all of the prep, serving, and clean-up of the luncheon. An errand on the way home, eating something and although I could just go to bed at this point I have decided I will try the book club tonight.
Sorry for lack of personal comments. Looking forward to Tai Chi tomorrow and hanging out with coloring friends at the library.
Off I go. Finish my meal and brush my teeth before I leave. And would you believe the mail has not yet been delivered?? Ha, Christmas may be over but USPS hasn't caught up I guess.
Hugs.

Hello All,
We had so much fun on the 31st. All our family and kids. My cousin and her husband and my aunt and her husband were here. Lots of food. Lots of noise and lots of fun. But I did enjoy January 1 when my out of town guests left and I finally had no long list of things to do. I read my new book I got at Christmas and I am now on book#2.
I've been suffering awfully from nasty acid reflux. Despite new prescriptions nothing is working very well. Oh well, now that I only have to cook for Ed and I, I can control my diet better.
Poor Ed has a cold and isn't feeling well.
Good night all,
'Jeri0 -
The temperature's rising, at least for a few days and I'm now home from a thoroughly enjoyable stroll across the moors. George appears liberated now his coat is shorter and has wolfed down his lunch so hopefully his tummy is settling although I'll still order the recommended gel. Housework and paperwork today then some floor exercises since yoga doesn't restart until next week. Scruff arrives next Wednesday for a 5 day visit while her mum flies to Manchester to stay with family. Fingers crossed the weather will hold so the mad puppy can be exercised and not drive me completely batty with her insistence to play with a ball 24.7!!
Lots to do so I'll wish you all a healthy Wednesday.

Happy Wednesday!!
Back to frigid weather, I am glad I got my outside decorations done yesterday. I have a couple of errands to do, but will dress warm.
Jackie, I am glad you got some warm weather for your stroll across the moors. George sounds like Daisy with a sensitive tummy which means no table food. lol Good luck with Scruff, I bet he loves being with George, how does George feel about him being in his house?
Jeri, sorry you are suffering with acid reflux, that can be painful. And Ed with a cold, your new year isn't starting out well.
Lin, I hope you enjoyed the book club, Tai Chi and coloring, you sure do keep busy.
Shirley, did you have professional photo's done for Kathy? I might have missed your explanation. Are the photo's of you and Dave or of Isaac? Glad to read Dave is better but not that you are fighting a cold.
Buzz, isn't it awful how salt puts pounds on in just one sitting? I made homemade chicken in a crock pot with Italian dressing and did the same, so happy it came off today. I will stick with my lean cuisine and healthy choice meals. I do love lobster but only the tail, enjoy!! Trying to make plans to visit my daughter in March or April with my cousin. Also planning a trip to DC in May for my granddaughter who is receiving her Master's.
Marcella, just leave your tree up until next year!! lol
Have a great day!!

We've just got back from a visit to the mailbox. It's FRIGID out there! I looked like an Inuit all bundled up and Jill was in her cosy pink, felt coat. No matter, the pair of us couldn't get back inside quick enough out of a biting wind. It was worth the visit though because I found a long lost parcel finally delivered. What a rapid change in temperature from early this morning when it was plus 1 or 34F.
Everyone seems to be suffering from awful colds. Not surprising I suppose after all the hugging and kissing over the holidays!
It's the 4th day of my new year resolution to only eat locally produced. Pretty easy resolution to keep. Veggies for January that I like, cabbage, potatoes, turnip, parsnips, beetroot, mushrooms, hot house tomatoes, leeks, onions, yams, carrots, lettuce, cucumbers. I don't think I'll starve!
Anne.0 -
Anne- Great New Year resolution, eating well and staying healthy. Keep warm we are getting snow today but it won't be much.
I did some yoga on Tuesday night and no worse for wear on the knee. It does hurt some while doing some of the postures, still wearing my tensor band while doing it, but not feeling it as much when I do aqua fit. Day by day.
I had my chiropractor apt. and the massaging doesn't hurt as much as it did weeks ago so
it is improving some. Actually the last two days it has been alot better but still taking it as easy as I can.
My flannel sheets arrived this week for our beds, I ordered two for our bed and one for the bed downstairs which is used more than the upstairs bedroom. I am washing them all right now.
I also ordered a bathsuit for my aqua fit classes but sadly it didn't fit so I will be taking it back to Sears.
I am going shopping tomorrow at the outlet mall and see if I can find one, I can take it with me to
Jamaica in February.
Well I got on the scale today after Christmas noshing and gained 3.2 lbs. so I am officially the weight again when I started here in 2010. I know diets don't work but I do have to do something because my
pants are becoming tight. I will be cutting back on my eating and making better choices, enough said.
Jeri - I get acid reflux at times, and its usually how I am eating. I hope you feel better soon.
Lin - Did you just join the bookclub? Sounds like fun.
Sandy - No...the pictures are not professionally done, I bought it at a vendor in Central Park when we were there and having it framed with glass for Kathy for her birthday. I said an intention last night at yoga for you and Lisa.
Jackie - Good luck with Scruff, you are good dog sitter and I am sure your friend appreciates it.

Well I am finally feeling a bit better. All through the holidays I had a flu like ache and denied the existence of this little nasty bug. I did have a lovely holiday despite feeling sort of tired and achy much of the time. After our son left, taking his two little old fluffy doggies with him, I have been dragging around trying to get things sorted out again. Each morning I have a bit of energy that is totally gone shortly after noon. Silly! I think I am starting to feel a bit better now. I am not 100% yet but guess I am at 65% now.
I usually journal a bit about goals for the coming year. Honestly this year, I keep trying to get fired up but I am sure this bug puts me on total pause mode. I am easing into action now. I am excited for the new babies in the sneaker families. I have an enormous pot of coffee brewed (de-caf) the old Apple computer is fired up and I am ready to make "applesauce."
We have a partly cloudy, but blue skies and bitter cold. I will only open the door to let Katie go in and out. I will be in the dungeon most of the day. I started off by ordering new slippers. Katie completely ate one of my favorite slippers. Vet says that Katie has the Lab temperament. The forever puppy...chewing, playing, high energy ball games, constantly in need of grooming. Not exactly the perfect dog for two senior citizens but she is worth the effort. This is our substitute for lack of grandchildren. I love seeing and hearing about the sweet grands here on sneakers. Let 2017 begin, like Yoda advices..."do or do not...there is no try!."
Patsy0 -
It was dog gone cold today! The winds just did not stop but finally should slow down tonight. Wind chills tomorrow should not be as low and we are not in the wind chill advisory area which is good but does not make me feel that much warmer. Ha.
Tai Chi was good this morning and hanging out with coloring buddies was even better. Ran my couple of errands and returned home. I filed a credit card charge dispute today as I could not get a response from the vendor. I advised them that I had done that since I hadn't heard from them. THEN I got an email just a little while ago explaining that it wasn't their fault the product was damaged but said okay, let the dispute process go ahead and get a refund. Okay, interesting time don't you think?
That was my first book club discussion last evening. I had attended the month prior for their social get together. I got the book for next month so I guess I'm in!
The library has had a scrapbooking Saturday each month for a long time. This year it is changed to paper crafts and I was told if I want to work on cards, that is fine, come over. So I am thinking about it but so far I cannot think of what I could pack up! I use so much stuff when I work on something and I am zipping up and down stairs for other materials. I would like to just line up some little items and sit and color with them. It is interesting to see what other people are doing. So I will think about it. I am also signed up for a card making class at a church nearby one evening next week. And I sent an email this afternoon to yet another library that is having a card making class early in February and asked if they had a vacant spot.
If the weather is bad or the flu gets worse around here, I can always cancel.
Jeri, oh my gosh, what a wonderful group of people assembled for New Year's Eve! Wonderful. I am sorry you are suffering from acid reflux. That is so painful. And I hope DH is on the mend for the nasty cold.
Jackie, you are such a wonderful friend. Scruff for FIVE days. Wow. That is quite a while with such an energetic doggie. Praying for good weather as we do not want you to go batty! And do not want George to be jealous.
Sandy, wow, doing errands today was a thrill wasn't it? I had many layers of clothes and two hoods over my head over my ear muffs! Brrrrrr.
Anne, my mail has not been delivered yet. I might as well wait until about 7pm before venturing out. I am so glad your package arrived. Did you see the mail delivery person driving about your area so you knew it was okay to try to find your mail? That is what I try to do but after dark, that doesn't work well. Enjoy those vegetables!
Shirley, I am glad you are able to do a bit without making your knee worse. Wonderful. You still have quite a wait for that MRI don't you? Do take care though.
Patsy, thinking of you deep in your dungeon. I hope the slippers arrive quickly. Dear Katie, please do not eat any more of mom's good stuff. Thank you.
Take care. I plan to spend the morning with the gals playing cards and doing crafts, and chattering of course.
Hugs.

I feel that I've missed so much this week. It's been so busy here, somewhat complicated by the unexpected death of a friends teenage daughter. She was a particularly wonderful young lady. On a happier note, I did finally get to use my new food processor today. LOVE IT! Looks like we are going to be in for some snow and cold weather down here in the Atlanta area this weekend.
As for the Christmas tree..... it's still standing.

BRRrrrrr! Just reading those posts has me shivering! Wish I could say c'mon down, but if anyone does get here to warmer weather, let me know! My kids leave tomorrow and I hope they don't think of me as an old fuddy-dud, but my DIL loves shopping and running about at a fast clip, while my DS stays in their guest suite reading or planning for their move to Germany, so I have days to myself, which is fine. Tonight they took me to a very popular pretty restaurant on the Ft Lauderdale Beach where I enjoyed a steamed lobster dinner overlooking the water.
The endless paperwork I have been dealing with is almost at an end, and things are returning to a more normal course. I am actually trying to decide whether or not to renew my passport, which has expired. Right now, I can't see me traveling, but if I lose weight and become more comfortable,...who knows?
PATSY, so sorry your holiday season was marred by health problems. 65% better is not quite what we'd like to hear, so wishing you a quicker recovery!
JACKIE, what a friend you are...a true treasure!
SHIRLEY, Knowing how disciplined you usually are, I expect you will be back to normal good health fairly soon!
JERI, your own cooking will be very helpful! Feel better, dear! Ed, too!
ANNE, I think Inuits don't mind the cold! I'm with you!
LIN, I get dizzy just thinking about all your accomplishments! And you master each new one!
I hope MARIE, MARCELLA, PHOEBE, BARBIE, MADDY and all our other friends, frequent or infrequent, stay well in this new year.
Buzz 0 -
Hi, lovely warm BUZZ! It's 17.4 Fahrenheit this morning! Whoever invented warm woolly sweaters, warm woolly socks, warm woolly tuques, snuggly boots and parkas, I salute you! Not to mention furnaces that hopefully don't break down. Must renew my passport, aged or not!
PATSY, GET WELL SOON!

My morning is nearly over and after our usual walk on the moors where a cold wind kept the temperature down and a visit from the Pedicurist to tidy toe nails and give me a wonderful foot massage I'm now contemplating homemade soup and crackers. This afternoon I'm going to visit a local store, well about 6 miles away, to see if I can come up with ideas for a friend's birthday present required for Saturday. She's one of those people who seems to have everything so I'm hoping something jumps out at me although usually when I visit this store I end up buying more for myself!
Patsy ~ Sorry to learn you weren't feeling wonderful during the festivities but reading of Katie's antics I think I'd be feeling exhausted! Seriously though, I think these pooches keep us young and just so long as we can sort of keep up with them it can be an ideal arrangement. George's hour long morning walk does us both the power of good and I know if he wasn't with me I'd spend these cold mornings doing very little.
Buzz ~ My passport runs out quite soon too and with air travel being such a hassle these days I'm put off going far. Our airports are chocker and a nightmare to even get to by car and that's before I get near a plane! Perhaps I'll wait for us to come out of the EU so that I can get my British passport back rather than being vaguely European then see where flights from small local airports will take me.
Anne ~ Lots of bugs doing the rounds here too so I'm doing my best to be unsociable in order to avoid the worst of them! Keep warm.
Sandy ~ It's nice to have plans for the coming year and having just transferred information from old calendar to new and seen just how much I got up to with theatre visits and rock concerts last year I'm feeling enthusiastic about checking what's up and coming. George does seem to enjoy having Scruff here because I think he imagines we are all one big doggy pack and yesterday when I opened the back door of my car to take something out after our walk Scruff was ready to jump in and come home with me so must feel the same. It's just my energy levels that need to rise for the visits!
Shirley ~ Sounds like you're getting somewhere with your knee which is good news but sorry you feel you've come full circle with your weight. It's not easy to adopt a healthy lifestyle rather than diets which you're right, don't work and the only way I've managed is to be very selective about what foods are in the home. Here's to 2017 being your year to crack it!
Lin ~ I think you'd have a great time with the paper craft group and perhaps could get yourself organised with a bag of necessities to take with you that doesn't get emptied out at home. I had to do that with my swimming gear, shampoos etc so I wasn't finding I'd left something at home.
Marcella ~ Twelfth night tomorrow so it's safe to keep that tree up until then!!
My creamed and massaged feet are now feeling cold so I must dig out a pair of socks, have lunch and get myself out shopping.
Thursday already - enjoy!!
Jackie1 -
woo WOO it is cold here and fixing to go to my doctor this morning.0

Happy Thursday! Only 7 degrees here as well. I have my meeting today and yipee, my car is done so will be ubering to car dealership to pick it up before my meeting. Babe was going to take me but he is very dizzy today so no driving for him. I will now have two cars but hopefully the paperwork from Bryanna's class makes it to the Secretary of State quickly and she can get her license by this weekend. I drove her 40 minutes each way last night for this class and gave her some new rules that she has to do with me now that she will be driving again. I also reminded her I was her grandmother and deserve respect so no more attitude.
I swear the kids of today just have no respect and too much attitude including my granddaughter whom I love dearly.
Karen, Happy Birthday if you should check here!!
Stay warm and enjoy this day and all that follow!
Sandy

Up at 6 AM so I could use the compression boots for an hour. It must be working as the ulceration has disappeared! Then super fast shower so I could go down to the Bistro for breakfast with the kids on their last morning here. Rushed up, stripped the bed, discovered my left ankle tendon doesn't want to behave today, so I might spend time in my new chair with legs UP!!! I have not been using the wheelchair the past few days, so I guess I can't push giving it up too quickly. Six of one and half-a-dozen of the other, I don't know whether walking or wheeling is better for me, so I play it by ear! MARIE, I never think of it being cold in Texas! Hope the doc is happy to see you! JACKIE, the pedicure sounds heavenly.
Oops, this just posted itself and it doesn't want to simply edit! My cursor is jumping all over! Back another time Buzz 0 -
Just lost my post so I will try again.
Jackie, that pedicure sounds lovely, I will have to make an apt. before our trip to Jamaica in February.
Buzz- Our temperature today was 15F very cold and a wind on top of that. I have been seeing TV
advertisements for Sarasota, Fl. lately I have never seen that before. A lot of Canadians are not traveling to Florida due to our dollar being so low right now. Maybe that will change but I did hear it might go lower. We think twice about going across the river to buy anything. Enjoy your company on their last day with you.
Sandy - Your grand-daughter should be lucky all you do for her, she should not have an attitude. Good for speaking up.
Marie - Good luck at the doctors.
I just got back from returning my bathing suit and checked to see if my leather jacket zipper was completed at the cleaners, she said probably Monday. Another gray day today and snow is on the way they say so my car is in the garage.

Good for you, SANDY, finally sticking up for yourself! You have done so much for your family and I recall how much you devoted to your lovely Bryanna, and somehow, attitudes creep in even though she loves you, too. I hope you have learned to not allow anyone to walk all over you, of all people. You give so much of yourself to others!
Off to dinner (at 4:45!!!) Buzz 1 -
Good evening,
Marcella, I am sorry for your friend's loss. I am glad there was a happier note and that you like your food processor. Thet can be wonderful and the tree can wait. Sometimes we waited to take ours down until Super Bowl Sunday. I really liked having a decorated tree. 
Sandy, I hope your words have not been wasted on Bryanna. She should respect you for so many reasons and also should not require rules and reminders to follow through. I will say today my temper snapped a bit as a lady came to hang out with us and we were making some crafts. She kept interrupting me to hand her supplies. Okay. She asked somewhat rude questions. But the worst thing was she had no respect for everything the library provided us. She did not clean up after herself and left a mess of ink, scraps and junk! She walked off to watch people work on a jig saw puzzle and I asked her if she had cleaned the stamps she had used. She turned and said NO and just shrugged at me. I was not amused. I cleaned up her mess, cleaned up the stamps and put things in order while she just sat and visited. What an irresponsible jerk. I want to continue to have opportunities for such projects and the librarian is not happy when the supplies are not well cared for. Growl!!
Marie, how was your trip to the doctor?
Jackie, what a busy day!! I marvel at all you accomplish in a day. I am also a bit jealous of your tidy toenails! I do not travel at this point but have every intention of renewing my passport next year. Who knows when I may wish to flee to Canada? Haaaaa. I do pack a bag each day based on the activity of the day. I now have starts of some cards so I believe I can pack some things to work on for Saturday. I did keep a gym bag packed in days of old but art supplies are too variable to have a permanent bag. I will likely take too much, it is what I do!
Buzz, I hope your leg is behaving now. Please do take care and you may be right--just take it slow and easy. Wishing you better and better days.
Shirley, you also had a busy day. Good for you. Take care of your knee!!
Tai Chi tomorrow. I tried to call my friend's mom to see if she wanted me to do any grocery shopping for her but she didn't answer the phone so I guess she is getting out.
Still waiting for the mail.
Take care everyone. Hugs.

Jackie - Thanks for the info. The tree will be my goal for tomorrow! … or maybe Saturday while it’s suppose to be snowing here in the Atlanta area. I may have to take my chances with the 12th day thing.
Just wanted to stop in and say hello and good night. It's been a long day and while everything has gone well today, at this moment, I'm feeling very tired and sleepy. It would seem that the emotion of Emily's funeral (my friends' teenage daughter that passed) may have been a bit more than I realized. So, the dishes are done, the clothes folded and I think I may just go to bed early tonight.
Marcella0 -
It's one of those grey and cold days today so I find myself humming that hymn.... In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan, earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone!! We were wrapped up for our walk and the dogs thoroughly enjoyed running and sniffing every blade of grass as we stepped out at quite a pace then, when we got back to the car park had to laugh at ourselves as we both bent to hook leads on our respective dog's collars and bumped heads. Luckily we had our wool fleece hats on so didn't feel a thing!! Home again I've had a hot shower, washed my hair and changed into cosy clothes before wrapping the presents I managed to find for my friend. My next chore will then be to place a tray of poison up in the roof space above my kitchen because last night something was scraping about making enough noise for a herd of buffalo but I think it's still a mouse that Brady brought in several weeks ago and left behind the fridge freezer so it's made its way upwards!! The joys of living in the countryside!
Marcella ~ Of course any loss is very sad but I always think it's particularly tragic when a young person who's about to step out into the big world dies before they have a chance to experience life's rich tapestry. Incredibly emotional and upsetting for you all so sending a big hug.
Lin ~ Definitely keep your passport up to date just in case LOL!! As ever you have the patience of Job clearing up after that individual and that's fine so long as you don't bottle it all up and upset yourself. I won't bore you with the details but a family next door but one, and there's only 4 properties here, has been particularly inconsiderate since the day they moved in 15+ years ago and it took me 14 of those years to reach a point where I realised I had to ignore them and let it all pass me by even to the point of not looking at any of them if we find ourselves together in the parking area. At first I thought myself rude but now I'm liberated from feelings of anger. Sometimes turning your back really does help!
Buzz ~ Definitely play it by ear when it comes to your walking ability. It's just a case of 2 steps forward, 1 back but you'll get there!! Your family must have moved on by now so I hope friends are rallying around to give you company if it's needed.
Marie ~ Keep warm and hopefully good visit to your doctor.
Sandy ~ Hooray, finally got your car back which is one less thing to worry about. Enjoy!
Past my lunchtime so I must get on and eat I think before I climb the ladder to leave a little treat for that pesky mouse! Enjoy your day as you're all now getting yourselves up!
Jackie0 -
Morning,
Off to aqua fit this morning, it is so cold out but sunny. The thought of going into a pool makes me shiver but I guess I better get used to it because it is good for my knee. Last night I went to yoga and did some restorative. I had to clean off my car from the snow before going home, I am becoming a wimp lately with this winter. I guess another season of not skiing this year due to my knee.
I guess enough complaining there are people out there must worse off than me. 
Tonight we are trying a new jerk chicken restaurant and seeing the new Star Wars movie.
Enjoy the day!

Hi SHIRLEY, it IS cold isn't it! To be precise only -13 centigrade or 8 Fahrenheit! It's like sitting in the freezer with the lid closed if anyone in the sunny south fancies feeling it for themselves. Don't catch cold after your swim! I'm definitely becoming a wimp and don't venture far with The Bean during this cold snap. Come to think of it, we aren't meeting all the dogs we met in the autumn either. I gave my skis away long ago, brrrr.
My younger son and dil are taking off for a cruise to the Bahamas on Monday and I don't blame them! I have to admit though I am quite happy these days staying home with my hobbies. Actually, the start to my personal 2017 has been rather nice so far.
Grocery shop day hopefully and buying the local January veggies! Plus probably lunch out to shake off any "cabin fever".
12th night for us is 5th January, Christmas Day being the first day of Christmas. The 6th is the start of epiphany. I think it all depends on which part of the world you come from.
Anne.0 -
Happy Friday! 3 degrees here with a wind chill of minus 7. Oh well, 73 days 6 hours 59 minutes 40 seconds until Spring, but who is counting? Meeting friends tonight for a quick drink to say good bye to a friend moving to Arizona. (lucky girl) She is more of a friend of a friend so will not stay long but want to wish her well. Will run to Babe's for my check because I don't want him to drive with his dizziness, which I hope gets better. It seems to come and go and my uneducated guess is it comes more with stress and possibly cold weather. He just had some big repairs which cost him a lot of money so that would cause the stress. Two more sleeps until Max arrives!!!!!
Anne, I am jealous of your younger son and dil!! I love being home but I do love traveling, just can't afford it!!! Be careful shopping, I presume someone is taking you correct?
Shirley, good job on the weight loss this week. Happy to read the water is helping your knee, when is your MRI again? I know it is in the middle of the night but forgot what day.
Jackie, you amaze me with taking in stride critters running around over your head. I would be in full panic mode because I am a city girl and small critters and bugs terrify me.
Marcella, great job on your weight loss as well!! I used to keep my tree up until the Epiphany but once the new year arrives I am done with the holidays.
Lin, from your mouth to my ears, I also hope I got through to Bryanna. She is a terrific young lady learning from her mistakes so letting her know my feelings was a good thing. She even sent me money today, so that is a good start. In the case of the rude lady, detachment with boundaries is always the best solution.
Buzz, I hope now that you are once again alone you are taking time for you. You are one of the most kind hearted people I know, always worried about others and always with the right words to ease other people. You are well loved!!
Walmart just called and my new glasses for night driving are ready for pickup. I will be braving the cold but thanks goodness for car starters that let you warm up the car from inside your house. Have a good day!

lin - I never cease to be amazed at the rudeness of some people. It seems they don't have a high enough regard for themselves to care what anyone else may think!
Today is going to be an interesting day. Down here in the Atlanta Georgia area, when there is snow, there is usually ice. Since we don't get either very often, we're also limited in equipment to deal with either. So, today, Jordan has a video shoot scheduled for 4:30 to 9:00 pm. It's at a different location (the singer's home) and it's in the window of when the rain/snow/ice should be starting. (It's a video for a song that was recorded at his studio and he may be doing guitar in the video.) Anyway, we have a singer, actor and film crew scheduled as "weather" is moving in. No stress here! I told Jordan it was up to God at this point and we're suggesting that if they can get to the location, that everyone take an over-night bag. Fortunately, the singer's home is one of those places that's so big that if an extra 6 to 10 people get stuck there over-night you would hardly notice and her parents are very outgoing. So, like I said, should make for an interesting day.
Wishing everyone a wonderful (though it may be cold) weekend!
