Happy Tuesday!
Laundry is started so it will feel like Monday to me. My cleaning girl is coming today but I realized when I emptied my garbage that I have no bags. I will run to the store and get those and a couple of other items I forgot. I will share what might be too much information but oh well. Ever since my colonoscopy I have had some bathroom issues and taking the Cipro didn't help matters. So before bed I took some Dulcolax (3 tiny pills) and woke up at 6:00 and was up until after 7:00. The only thing I will say is I would venture to say my colon is cleaner than your colon. lol I officially feel like an old lady since this is something I never have to do, if you know what I mean. I do feel great today though and lost nearly 3 pounds. (I don't recommend this to lose weight) Hope I didn't offend anyone.
Toomanycurves, welcome to our group. We range is different ages but I think most of us are retired. We check in everyday just to say hello or offer support where needed. We honesty don't talk a lot about our weight but have become friends and talk about everything else. Not sure that is what you are looking for but feel free to join us at any time.
Have a great day everyone!!
Sandy

running so late but this is Birthday Night dinner, so I must attend!. I think the sitting solution is great for anyone desiring to relax! And thanks, I forgot about boiling some up. Then I will reward people who are kind! Welcome back,
too many curves". It's been eons since you were here! Hope all is OK?

A Pissarro flashed across Facebook this evening. Seems a bit more haphazard.
I am home. Fun but a long day. I need to do some re-adjusting in my schedule. I am not going to make it through this week. I am already exhausted!
Hugs.

LIN, I love that painting! Thank you for printing it! 12:32 AM so I'm actually getting to bed much earlier tonight.! We had a BARBRA impersonator tonight and she was actually almost as good as BS herself. 'Nite all; sleep well. Buzz

Now I've found my Marks and Spencer's Christmas cake I woke up as smug and happy as the Cheshire Cat! LET IT SNOW!
This isn't my screen saver but I love it! Clarence Gagnon.
My cousin in Australia, going up an escalator, fell backwards down it. Someone stopped it and she's okay apart from neck pain. Her artificial knees apparently collapsed under her. These things happen out of the blue. Be careful dear friends.

The winds are beginning to change direction so there's a definite hint of Winter in the air. Snow on Friday apparently which means there will be no walking on the moors!! I'm in the process of trying to book a table for seven of us to meet for an evening meal next week but it seems we could be too late as everywhere is very busy. We should have thought of this earlier of course! This afternoon I'm visiting Scruff and her mum for a cup of tea and also to try to video some of her tricks she's been taught to enter her into some sort of competition. It'll be fun to see how she's getting on. So far I've managed to get George to jump over my legs for a treat as I sit with them outstretched on the floor, then back under one raised leg. Now at every opportunity he eyes the pot of treats on the coffee table then gives me an intense look..... can't think why!!
Anne ~ Brrr but what a lovely painting. Cosy in spite of the snow. Congratulations on the successful M&S Christmas cake hunt. You can live on that alone if you get snowed in and probably a bit tipsy on it too!!
Lin ~ From what I read of Pissarro he spent a lot of time mentoring Monet and Cezanne amongst others and there is similarity in the painting you posted to Monet's style, especially his garden subjects. Anne knows far more than me but another thing I read was that unlike other artists who did rough drawings then finished their work in a studio he stayed outside painting very quickly so some critics find his work crude. That painting has a warmth about it even though obviously a winter's day.
Sandy ~ It's great that you can share even bowel experiences!! We don't mind.
Buzz ~ I've a cupboard full of just about every Barbra Streisand LP ever produced. Adore her singing but a bit of a diva at times!! Not complaining but I suddenly have so many eggs I don't know who else to give them to. Hard boiling is next on my list too!
Tomanycurves ~ Pretty sure we haven't met before although my memory for names has always been terrible. Anyway, welcome to the group and yes, I did read your profile and see that complicated is a mild word for what you've been through but am sure you'll find lots of support with the Sneakers. My home is in Cornwall, UK so am always either ahead or behind most of the group but have still managed to form a wonderful relationship with them and as they know, adore each and every one!! Weight issues and advice do pop into our chats occasionally but mostly day to day events, avoiding contentious subjects plus what we're up to.
My morning has gone so must crack on before Scruff the Movie takes over!!
Jackie0 -
Alas, I know very little JACKIE, just what I like which consists of a mish mash of furniture styles, paintings, poetry, books and anything else that grabs my eye. Definitely not into the stylish homes of today. Stylish homes make me sit on the edge of my seat uncomfortable. I've just given Michael my enormous coffee table for his enormous but barren sitting room. Now single and poverty stricken with an ex to support he's going to end up like his Ma with a mish mash of styles! Especially when I depart!!! By the way I've just read that the new Dr Who has a Yorkshire accent. You will all be talking like me next, lol.
The Bean is whimpering, and giving me the doggie stare. This means she wants walkies. Bye everybody, stay well!

Good morning friends. I am already behind. Should that just be my tag line each day now? Need to run along for Tai Chi and then the doodle class where they want to do water color this morning. I hope there are more doodles/zen tangles as I am not in the mood for paint.
Be safe my friends. The accident Anne described had my teeth chattering.
Oh and speaking of chattering, last night at the book club Social, a woman was clearly uncomfortable, then distracted. Increasingly cold she put on gloves, then put on her parka with the hood up, and her teeth were visibly chattering. I said perhaps you are coming down with something? She said she just could not warm up. Oh my. Well, I didn’t eat anything she brought. One advantage to food allergies and Autoimmune issues. Eeeck.
Time for the coat and one last gulp of lovely warm coffee.
Hugs all.

Good morning all. A beautiful sunrise again. Pinkish glow in the sky behind dark trees. John is still asleep so Katie and I are skulking around quietly. Not easy because everything I want to do is noisy. It is funny about sleep habits. John wakes up grounpy and slowly especially if he hasn't gotten in his usual 7-8 hours of sleep. I never get that much sleep. I would really benefit from a full 7-8 )hours of sleep but that just doesn't seem to be in the cards for me. I am okay with reading in the early morning. It is too cold in the dungeon to work on my projects.
More coffee and reading the new Bobby Kennedy book. Inspiring and the same time very sad.
We have a huge owl sitting in the trees. What a scary but magnificent creature.

Happy Wednesday! Tonight is bingo night and if my friends are going I will go to try for some Christmas money.
It is cold outside but we have been very lucky as far as snow.
The only errand I have today is to go back to the dollar store and try to match a spool of ribbon I bought the other day to use as garland on my tree. Wish me luck.
Patsy, I am like John, I need 7 to 8 hours of sleep and I am not a morning person. Babe however, was like you and up at the crack of dawn. I guess opposites do attract.
Lin, you were smart in not eating any of the food the "sick" lady brought. Not getting warm is a sure sign that something is wrong. I hope you weren't in too close of contact with her.
Anne, does Mark have to give his ex wife alimony or are you talking about child support. Sorry, you don't have to answer if too personal. I bet he loves the furniture you are giving him and is grateful for such a wonderful mother. Scary falling backwards down an escalator especially since I have two artificial knees. I am getting them checked Friday which now sounds like an even better idea.
Jackie, I think I probably share too much with this group but it is like therapy and helps me. lol
I threw on a hat, a dab of makeup and went to the dollar store yesterday hoping to see no one I knew. Of course that didn't happen, my friend from England was in line in front of me which surprised me. He and his wife bought a house here and sold their house is England. They are having all their furniture shipped here and will have a housewarming party once they are settled. I love his accent although he is the one who talks so fast I need his wife to translate.
Buzz, glad to see you get to bed before the sun comes up. I agree, just boil up some eggs put them in the lobby and let them help themselves.
The pictures of the painting are all beautiful, thank you for sharing. My ex Mother in Law loved to paint and she gave us all a painting to remember her. I love mine and hang it every Christmas.
Enjoy your day!
Sandy

Bad situation SANDY. Michael's wife never worked in her life. She is 7 years older than him, and although she walked out on him leaving a lot of mess to clear up, he has to pay her half his wages. She is supposed to find work, but of course hasn't. Having said that, whilst feeling immensely sorry for my eldest, his ex DOES have problems and wouldn't be able to hold down a job. Mark and I did our best to dissuade him from marrying her because we could see she had problems even then, but of course 20 year olds don't take advice. The marriage did last 26 years despite all. You can imagine Mike is hoping in 2 years time she will be eligible for the old age pension and his load should be reduced by that amount. By contrast, my ex husband has never paid me a penny, but I could work and didn't need his cash. Michael didn't have to pay child support as well because his son was 21 when she walked and was self sufficient. He has no idea where she lives. The payments are done through family services directly from his pay slip.
Talented mother in law! My mother in law was never an ex to me. I loved her dearly.
Youngest son Mark is in a very loving and good marriage with Mary Jo, to set the record straight.
I think this group is therapy as well, and sometimes it is easier to confide in us than our children.
Anne.1 -
Ouch! I decided I did not want to paint this morning and that was pretty much all they offered so after talking to some friends I went in and joined Zumba. Yes, ouch!! My feet are now howling as I was wearing shoes with orthotics in them. Not a wise choice for dancing.
Well, I assumed another chore. Yep, of course it involves a Christmas card. I was asked to make the card that will accompany our annual tip/gift for our Tai Chi instructor and would I please make it a very special card. Well, I have ideas and I have just finished a card but I would like to try another one but I need a very dark green card stock which I think I will be able to find Saturday afternoon. If that doesn’t pan out I have two or three other ideas.
We are also starting to plan the Chinese New Year party that our Tai Chi class hosts for all the other classes in town. I am going to cut out little dragons in different colors and if I have time I will make tiny lanterns for table decorations and perhaps some small figures with the Chinese characters for Happy New Year. Time will tell. At least it is something else to think about. The person in charge wants me to make enough dragons for everyone to take one home. I need to get a number from her so I know what I am shooting for.
And I am sort of lined up to make winter cards now. Snowmen, sleds, lots of blue, silver and wintry colors. The thinking of you cards will have something different than flowers.
Sandy, that is a lovely painting. Thank goodness you kept it. So many things get cast off as circumstances change. Everyone keeps saying We should all get rid of all our stuff and live very simply. Items like this painting help to enrich our lives.
Anne, you are spot on, I think we do provide great support for each other. Thank heavens.
Patsy, does your owl visit every day? I never see any here but I do see hawks from time to time. I like them.
Jackie, it is cold here and they are saying perhaps 14 degrees F overnight. We had bits of drizzle and some snowflakes. Oh yes, I think although the calendar says we have not formally arrived at winter, I think perhaps we have. A friend wrote today that after walking his dog, he was looking for a job in a warmer climate for the next four months or so. Good idea.
Well, time to move along. Everything is cramping up. Ouch. (I think I said that before.)
Hugs.

WOW! Great reading today! You all have such experiences and knowledge, plus empathy for so many ! ANNE got us started on painters in an interesting way, and I suddenly recalled my days as a student, studying Pissarro and the rest of the painters of that period in History of Art. The Boston Museum had a wonderful collection of The Impressionists and we spent hours studying every aspect. I've forgotten more than I ever knew! I'm also recalling SANDY"S love for her ex- mother-in-Law and the memories in that painting are unmeasurable!
LIN, you have become so involved in all the different areas available at your Center (are they all at the same place?) I think you must need many extra hours in your day! I loved Zumba, which had just become a huge fad, but that is where my fall happened, which ended up in a hip replacement which changed my life! The music was such fun, too!
JACKIE, isn't it amazing how many interests we have in common, despite the surface differences? I sometimes feel we can read one another's minds!
PATSY, I think I forgot to mention my coffee favorite, which is that I brew 1/2 and 1/2 dark Columbian and Hazelnut and just so enjoy my morning mug, which is about 18 ounces! Do you recommend Bobby Kennedy? I try to never miss Chris Matthews TV nightly program and have never been bothered by his cutting into conversations since his remarks are so informative and pertinent! I believe he also wrote a book about Jack Kennedy a few years ago.
I have 10 minutes to get into bed by midnight. Tomorrow morning I have to be downstairs around 9 AM to help set up that luncheon I've been volunteering for. I had to produce 2 different sets of posters again today on a moments notice, one just before attending a celebration of the life of my dear friend who started our support group for those who have lost someone close.

Buzz: I love this book about Bobby Kennedy. The photo on the back cover had me in tears! It is of the railroad tracks and all of the people standing in grief and respect as the train took his coffin back for burial. It hit me like blow to my stomach. The book is written by a man who truly admired Robert Kennedy.

This morning I have a hair appointment which means traveling a few miles to a town where friends live and so usually I drop George off, get my hair cut then go back for a cup of tea. This time I've tried phoning several times and left messages but no sign of a response so best leave the little man behind and do a quick round trip. It's very windy today and started off with rain so we met Scruff and mum in the local woods but as soon as we stepped in a large branch was snapped off a tree and fell in front of us so our walk wasn't prolonged! The new hens don't know to get out of the rain and look bedraggled this morning but I'm sure they'll learn over time. Three eggs a day now the gritty problem has been solved!!
I remember sitting in a typing pool as a junior when a friend slipped into the room and whispered in my ear that Bobby Kennedy had died because she knew how upset I was when the news reached us earlier that he'd been shot. The world is missing honest, principled strong leaders today.
Jackie0 -
Happy Thursday! Meeting day and tonight game night at a friend's house from bingo. I did not win at bingo so hoping for a Christmas miracle. lol I still do not have my energy back and my friends said they don't like me sick since I was on the quiet side. Hopefully, I will be back to normal soon, I don't like being tired all the time.
My heart also broke with the rest of the world when the Kennedy's were shot, it would have been wonderful to see how the world would be different if they lived.
I really need to eat something and get ready, never enough time in a day.
Have a great day.
Sandy

Good day. I am at the library. I have no Internet at my house. The provider is to call me around 1pm. Something is wrong with my modem. So I won’t be able to check in unless things are fixed. My phone is just 3G and I cannot get enough speed to connect to this group.
Everyone take care. Lovely.
Hugs.

So the weekend is coming...it is so strange that even here in retirement we long for weekends. We actually have Saturday all week long. But when the real Saturday comes we feel like we can do something fun. I know, we are just plain nuts at times.
It is a sunny crisp day. I am hoping to see more of my Christmas orders at the post office. We get most of our orders there. Home delivery is risky around here. We are in an area that you cannot see our front door. It is the case where UPS is followed by thieves and just scoops up any package that was delivered to the front steps. I hate being so suspicious of people.
I had a very restless night. I know I will need to pay attention to my mood and not get cranky. We get so many interesting Christmas cards from friends and family. It is always shocking that they are getting older! I am sure John and I are absolutely the same as we were 10 or 20 years ago. It is one of the benefits of not wearing my glasses all the time.
Sandy: We did get our flu shots and even though they say it is impossible to get flu from them, both John and I felt really achy and chilled for at least 3 days. So here we are, trying to be healthy and these tests and shots make us feel awful. What is wrong with this picture?
Jackie: isn't is odd how we feel so uncomfortable leaving our little doggies at home? It makes any errand or small trip a very hurried business. Even though we really know they are sleeping on the sofa. They really are our children. I carry on long conversations with Katie. Her replies are quite silly, however.
Buzz, it is my ritual to watch and sort of listen to MSNBC while getting ready for bed. I have to be careful because I often get really steamed about issues that are discussed. I guess I am a news junky. I even go to town hall meetings when various politicians come visit. John always comes into the bedroom and suggests I switch to a YouTube channel and watch some crazy thing....like a person making Christmas decorations out of a toilet paper tube!!! That would put us to sleep.
I guess I have rattled on enough,
Patsy0 -
PATSY, MSNBC is on my TV all day long, and 1/2 the night. I know I shouldn't be so intense about it but Rachel? Chris? Lawrence O'Donnell? These are terrific reporters and smart as can be! Chis Matthews, of course, adored the Kennedy brothers, and sometimes I wonder, was Russia involved way back then? Since your beloved John prefers You Tube, for a jolt of pure joy and rhythm, try this actual scene from a most unusual wedding! The groom was a writer, choreographer, dancer etc from the play Hamilton.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KgZ4ZTTfKO8&feature=youtu.be
SANDY, listen to your body signals! They seldom lie. Yes, you, JACKIE, PATSY, ...I think most of us were in a state of shock at the horror of the KENNEDY kids, including John-John!
I think money perhaps was not the factor it is in political figures today??? Or is it instant gratification from TV and all??? Were celebrities as influential then? well, there WAS the rat pack! How does one begin to conjecture what difference it would make today had they survived? All I know is each day I shudder to see what is being done in the name of "doing the right thing"!!! Anyone who had been to Jerusalem should know that moving our Embassy there is a cruel hoax! And certain violence! And done without extracting any promises of less expansion, more peace (hah!). It is without a doubt the most historic-feeling of any city I have been in, and should belong to all humanity! Thousands of years, literally, and I pray it will not be destroyed by the ego of one man! I'd better log off

Buzz: what a joyous celebration! Would that be great to have your father and your groom sing and dance at your wedding reception? Thanks for sharing. We did have a tradition of music at all,family gatherings. My dad had a wonderful voice, mom and her sisters all sang beautifully. One aunt was a talented musician and played piano. We also had a fiddle player, guitar, and bass player. A non-professional family group. I was a backup singer. Do-wop-de-bop-bop-bop! Music makes life bearable. Puts a smile on your face and magic in your toes.

We had to listen to one hail storm after another crashing on to the roof so George was disturbed and grumbling..... so was I at times!! This morning our walk was taken a half hour later to allow the frozen hail and sleet to melt but then we headed for the woods, over the styles and across the fields to the river. The great news for me was that I could climb the slippery rocky style with no hint of pain whereas a couple of months ago I struggled to get over so the slow release ibuprofen is working. Just a shame it runs out around 4pm but if I eat my evening meal early enough I can top it up again!
Patsy ~ What with shopping either side of my hair appointment and catching up with my friends last minute so visiting for a cup of tea dear George was left for 5 hours, something I've never done before and felt terribly guilty so did my best to rush home although not easy on our narrow roads. Of course when I got home he gave me a wonderful welcome and was so forgiving as only a dog can be! He does have the cats for company and I leave the radio on so he can listen to some music but still I do get restless to return after just a couple of hours.
Sandy ~ That's a delightful painting your ex MIL created and perfect that you can display it every Christmas and remember her. As for going to the dollar store with make up on you do better than me as I pick an choose which shops I want to make an effort for, certainly not our Pound shops!! LOL I think it comes from my take me as you find me or don't bother attitude!!I always feel we could share anything on sneakers and no one would be offended.
Lin ~ You used to have terrible problems with internet connections but that seemed to have been ironed some time ago so I do hope you can soon get back on line. You've no doubt tried the trick of unplugging the power, waiting a minute then turning back on and waiting for the lights to settle. It often works when my modem plays up.
Outside I can see blue sky and sunshine so I'm going to visit the hens to clean out their house and see if I can work out a better way to present the new girls' crumb food rather than the bowl they keep kicking over! The others eat pellets from a feeder hanging on a line attached to a tree branch and I'm hoping the new chooks will move to that soon. The 3rd hen is to be named Tilly Trotter because most pantos seem to have a Dame of that name or similar.
Enjoy your Friday everyone. Weekends are still special for me too although I've not worked for nearly 9 years but it must become ingrained over time to make the most and do something special on those days.
Jackie0 -
Morning all, it is freezing here. Jilly refuses to wear any of her three winter coats. She sits "doggedly" on the sidewalk until I remove the offending article. Once it's off, we resume our walk at great speed, or at least the fastest I can achieve.
Makeup. Mmm. I still wear a little, and it is a little. A spot of face cream, a dab of powder, a smear of lipstick and that's it these days. I sort of have a fear of overdoing it like some old ladies one sees with black mascara and very pink cheeks. To be honest I rather think I look better without it, but the face cream protects from the cruel winter wind.
The longest I've left Jill alone is 3 hours, most of the time spent worrying only to be greeted by a very loving dog who appears to have survived quite well. Probably slept.
Great news JACKIE on the "no pain" walk. Isn't it wonderful on pain free days to feel ones old self again. Love the new name. Tilly. A bit like Jilly!
We used to sing around the piano in my youth, but not very tunefully I'm afraid! The piano was covered in holes because it was located near the dart board. Happy days!
LIN, hope you are back. You are missed.
Time to get me a-moving for the day. Hugs to all, two footed, four footed and winged,

Happy Friday! Went to Mass at noon, stopped at Walmart and have a doctor's appointment at 3:30 to check my knees. Since the doctor's office is so close to Lisa's mother's house I will stop there after my appointment to welcome them home.
The game night was fun although she had so much food there wasn't much time for games.
She had so many appetizers and didn't warn us she also had a regular meal to serve. We all ate so many appetizers there was hardly any room for the dinner. Needless to say I gained a couple of pounds from all that food and felt so stuffed I was uncomfortable. Back to my normal way of eating today, so hopefully I will shed the unwanted pounds.
Anne. yeah, I am one of those old ladies who wears eye liner and mascara. It is not over done however and I think it makes me feel better to have a little color on my eyes, especially in the winter when I am so pale. Poor Jilly, doesn't she realize she will be warm with a coat?
Jackie, happy to read you had no pain climbing the hills. I am sure George was fine for those few hours and appreciates you even more for coming home. Babe does not to leave Daisy for more than a few hours although I read somewhere that dogs can hold their potty for as long as how many months they are. So 12 hours I think would be max, but of course we dog lovers would never make them wait that long.
Patsy, lots of talent in your family. Most of the time I mouth the words to hymns in Church because I have a horrible singing voice. lol
Buzz, loved the video as I am sure the bride and all the guests did. I am listening to my body and taking it easy.
Lin, hope you get back online soon.
I better shave my legs for my appointment, wouldn't want him to hurt on stubble.
Have a good one.
Sandy
One Day at a Time0 -
Oh happy weekend! I don't have any special plans but I will think of something. It is a sparkling day . Clear and cold. I am sure there will be some packages at the post office for me to wrap. I love wrapping gifts. My big hope is that the gifts are right for those intended. But it doesn't matter really. They are given with love and good intentions. How can I go wrong?
Got something in the mail that has me weeping. We got a card that was in actuality a tribute to a recently deceased friend. Her husband is a retired music teacher and songwriter. The card had a obituary and a poem written by the husband. But the amazing tribute was a love song he wrote for the wife on her 81st birthday. She died shortly after her birthday. I am not really great at reading music but I sat at the piano and got the gist of it. I hope to have our other musician friend have his musical group play it for me. What a tribute! A love song titled "The miracle of love" for Mary on her 81st birthday.
It is interesting that we always seem to have a number of musician friends. The artists that I am acquainted with are oddly very competitive and therefore not as supportive and friendly. The musicians, on the other hand are very sentimental and we are friends for life. John thinks it is because musicians are wired to cooperate. One must cooperate to play music together. I believe this to be true.

Hi, well what a day. I got home, touched my thermostat to turn up the heat, got a static shock and the thermostat wiring is fried. I called my heating company, a guy came out, he is off getting parts and will be back later. Warranty? Watch me laugh. It will still cost hundreds even with the remaining parts warranty. Eeeck. And my Internet service works for a little while and then it is gone. I have reset the modem over and over. I called in and the first available appointment is next Wednesday, if it is not their equipment or cable causing the problem, I will be charged for the service call. Meanwhile, I need a new light switch in my first floor bathroom. I have texted a photo to my handyman so he can find something like what is there. Next week he hopes to gte here so I guess I will keep a flashlight in there for now. He said he will look at the leak in my water filter housing but I can tell he will not attempt anything with it. Time to schedule another service call. Ack. Enough.
I hope to get nice and chatty again soon. Meanwhile just hoping to post and hoping to be able to read your posts.
And yes Jackie, I went through long periods of Internet problems. I am less than optimistic that they will find a problem and fix it next Wednesday while I miss my Tai Chi class.
Buzz, all the activities are at that one center. They have a fairly complex schedule to try to accommodate all the various interests.
Take care and I hope to be back. I cannot even download an app update right now as my Internet speed is so slow. Guess I will be watching DVDs once agai.
Hugs.

Guess what! My internet went down just after 10 am and it's just come back on. No idea why.

Mine too! WiFi on & off. Oh well! Glad you liked Vanessa's wedding, for those who watched. Pain in the ----to type while it's so erratic! Will try tomorrow. Buzz

I'm still in business at 7:14am. Was out of Internet for approximately 8 hours yesterday. I'm about to start making chicken fricasse, or as we'd say in Yorkshire, good old chicken stew and dumplings. I've pinched Jilly's chicken to do this! It's so cold that it seems like a good idea! Otherwise nothing new to report, except to say:
SANDY I think you'd look gorgeous with or without makeup. You are naturally pretty. Skilfully applied makeup looks wonderful but I'm on the shortsighted side and could overdo it so best leave well alone these days!
LIN, it's one thing after another isn't it when one owns a house. Maybe Sandy and I are on the right track after all having landlords to fix things. Of course one needs a good landlord!
Are you snowed in JACKIE?
Good morning to all and let's hope for a trouble free day,

Book lovers might like an Interesting article "Ian Rankin on the genius of Muriel Spark, BBC UK news." She wrote the "Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" if anyone saw the film starring Maggie Smith who won an oscar.0

I am connected right now albeit extremely slow. I am going to a papercrafter club meeting this morning. It is in a meeting room in a local library so maybe I will be able to sneak a few minutes to check in.
Always delight in reading your posts.
Hugs to my friends.
