    Happy Monday! :) We have a sunny day with temps going to 52. I think because of the time change I will call Joe and ask him to meet an hour earlier as it will be dark at our normal time.
    I would like to run to the dollar tree for my November and December cards but I will see.
    Big day tomorrow, I really hope there are no riots or looting by either party.

    Jackie, cute article and I agree about Bob. We do what we have to do to get through this pandemic. I must admit I am upset with my daughter because she went to a church retreat and they took a picture with about 50 people and none were wearing masks. I asked her why and she said they were all comfortable without them. UGH!! She lives in Florida which is a hot spot so I just don't understand.

    Patsy, I am glad to read your son has responsibility and you will be with him for the holidays.
    If everyone would just listen we could get rid of this damn thing.

    Bob, love the pictures of your grandkids, the oldest one is a bit scary, lol. You are so clever with photos, I wish I had your talent.

    Hello to everyone else and I hope you all have a wonderful day.

    Happy Monday, fun day, sun day. One load of laundry done but more waiting. It is a beautiful fall day and the alder trees have a lovely golden glow. We had a strange night. There is a small pack of coyotes that have a den down on the bank of our little creek. They howl some nights and roam around. Katie becomes very upset and nervous. I am sure they are very interested in our neighbors chickens. Katie paces and goes from door to window, smelling and listening and growling. She finally consented to crawling into her bed at 2:30 a.m. we are all exhausted!

    I am feeling positive and hopeful for a new political era. I know this will be an angst-fulled couple of months but in the end, new beginnings are usually exciting. Oregon is like a pressure cooker right now. Protests, fear, anger, passion, hope and last but not least...COVID 19.

    Katie didn’t get to wear her Halloween costume this year. I think I will put it on her and use it in one of my yearly family photo updates. She will wear it for about 30 seconds before she started to eat it. I have to act fast and have the camera set and ready to go.

    More Tex-Mex food tonight. Taco bowl salad. Chicken-rice-peppers-beans-lettuce and tomatoes. Top with a fiery salsa. That will warm us up to start the week. To add atmosphere I will play some of my authentic Latin music. At heart I am an Irish flamenco dancer! (?)

    First thing I noticed this morning was…things change… and Jean was “switching” out decorations. Looked out the window and immediately realized it was not a t-shirt day… Jean had plans to take her friend to doctor for a short appointment. Made a quick lunch with a mix of thawed leftovers and fresh cooked veggies.

    ljuiekphtu3j.jpg


    Lin – Thanks for sharing the tea pot – hope you start to feel better.

    Jackie – Steamed windows and hot porridge reminds me of childhood on those cold winter days. Lways the hot breakfast before heading off to school. That tiny wooden picnic table is hilarious…. I’d need a jewelers lens to prepare dinner.

    Sandy – It’s the end of the day – but hope it was a good one for you. Temps in the 50’s with sun sounds great – I should rejoin you by the end of the week. As for “Dollar Tree” – we love that store. A new one just opened up next door to my gym. Can’t beat those card prices for kids. Thanks re: grandkids. It was waaaay different than the norm. The oldest scary grandchild turns 13 the end of this month. He is taller than my daughter and at least as tall as Jean. Normally, we’d have a big birthday party combined with Thanksgiving, but not sure if or what will happen this year. It is what it is I guess.

    Patsy – It wasn’t very sunny here today…but I save any complaints for heavy snow fall. I am blessed laundry-wise with Jean who thrives on it – the very last thing she would ever want is my “help.” She has her own method, schedule etc. Actually, after all these years I am still shocked when I open my dresser drawers. WOW – coyotes and howling… I can see Jean shaking now. Must have been great on Halloween.

    As for politics, my family is split right down the middle… I don’t argue with anyone. I may share info but never try to change an opinion (most people just want their position validated). In my humble opinion, everyone has to do their own research and make their own decision…I only abhor the destruction of property etc. I do think Covid has had an impact on many.

    Love Tex-Mex food and don’t even get me going on Latin music… I listen all the time. You might recall The Mavericks are our favorite live band (prev posted Jean and I on the band bus with members sharing a beer etc.) This is their newest venture:
    https://www.npr.org/2020/10/12/922983601/the-mavericks-are-going-back-to-their-roots-on-en-espa-ol

    So long for now. Have great night Bob

    Great goings on down south today. I shall avoid the TV like the plague and await most results tomorrow.

    Not much going on up here in Ontario by contrast. Snow flurries yesterday but we start to enter an "Indian Summer" late Wednesday.

    I finished both Louise Penny books. Mark and Mary Jo came for a nice long visit and Mark put more plaster on the wall. With the time change Jilly and Hobbes the giant cat are still confused. Both waking us up at 4:30 instead of the usual 5:30. I vow I won't be changing the clocks ever again! I will rely on the iPad for appointments etc. Next spring.

    You might guess after a hearty breakfast of chicken thigh and yam, Bean is now fast asleep in her bed. Grrrrrrrr whilst I slurp my cooling down porridge with eyes half shut.

    Hope today is a peaceful one especially in the States, and in a democracy the outcome is fair and accepted.

    Anne.

    Good morning, hoping for a peaceful election. Teapot again. My mom had these dishes. She had many sets of dishes but I liked these quite a bit.

    Happy Tuesday! :) I have made my order from Walmart to be picked up tomorrow afternoon.
    We are having Indian summer this week as well, temps in the 60's all week and possibly 70 on Saturday. I am sitting this afternoon so will not be watching any election news until I get home tonight. I don't think the final results will be in for a few weeks and unless there is a landslide we will just have to wait no matter what trump says. It is going to be messy but I pray that we have no violence and/or looters. Life was much more simple when I was young.

    Lin, how are you feeling? Are you bruised or any after effects? We worry about you.

    Anne, I hope you had a nice visit and soon you will have your rod put back in place. I have never really been bothered by time changes, as long as I get my usual amount of sleep I am good.

    Bob, you reminded me to change out my Halloween decorations for Thanksgiving. I even have a rug outside my door that I can change the insert to different holidays or seasons. Sorry you can't have the usual celebrations but hopefully next year things will be better.

    Patsy, wow, coyotes howling would probably scare me. You don't let Katie out when they are around do you?

    Time for breakfast, have a great day and stay positive, safe and healthy!!

    It’s a cold day for us, only around 7c which I think is about 45f. An early grocery shopping trip in town meant driving through a hail storm but I’m stocked up with fresh produce and food supplies for the wild birds. No panic buying thank goodness as everyone is realising this is nothing like the first lockdown so most can go about business as usual. The electrician messaged last night to let me know he checked the rules and he is allowed to visit homes since most electrical work is considered a necessity. The pooches got a shorter walk once i got home because more hail storm’s hurtled by and that got quite uncomfortable at times. Yesterday’s pedicure was delayed until today because meetings were going on at the hospital my lady attends and although I was planning to drive to another store for a few items I’ve put it off until tomorrow. My neighbour just dropped in to ask if I’d like some spinach from the allotment because she’s going to walk there and has in fact taken George with her... Betty said no thank you!

    Sandy, enjoy sitting with the kiddies. Election nights are never worth watching in my view. Best to go to bed and wait for the results in the morning rather than hours of chuntering ( you might have to look that up! 😆) and speculation. So much misinformation out there about Covid I think as Bob commented, we can only research and make our own minds up so I hope you don’t fall out with your daughter.

    I love your pumpkin truck and falling leaves Bob; so cute. Our falling leaves are blocking the drains so I got my feet wet a few times walking the dogs but did think at one point that if I had a stick I could have cleared one or two.... just a fleeting thought! The chipmunk bench and meals reminded me how inventive and amusing so many people were during lockdown and continue to be.

    Lin, that tea set could have been designed by Bob Ross. I’ve become an expert since his shows have been airing on our BBC!! 😉 Are you feeling any better since your fall? I do hope so. ❤️

    Crikey Patsy, howling coyotes would send George and Betty crazy in fact George is bad enough when the pigeons land on the neighbours shed roof! I hope you get what you want from your elections and that anticipated trouble doesn’t materialise. Civilised society and democracy in the 21st. century must surely count for something.... fingers and toes crossed.

    Anne, it’s evening mealtime my gang are still confused about since our clocks went back. If they were kids they’d be shouting where’s my dinner!

    Getting dark already an only 5pm. I hope George is ok on the road with my neighbour. Perhaps she will message her partner to pick them up on the way home from work. 😯
    Time for a cup of tea. Take care everyone and stay safe and well.

    :) We have coyotes nearby but they are far enough away and our house is sufficiently insulated that it's rare to hear them when we are indoors. However, Bessie senses them immediately and is trouble by their nearness. When we first got her she wouldn't even stay out long enough in the yard on leash to do her business. Now she'll do business and then wants to rush back into the house.

    :) It wasn't raining too much this morning but it was too much for Sasha and after only about 30 minutes she insisted on coming home. My friend walked with me for a few minutes, then she went home, and I continued by myself.

    :) Jake is very nervous about the election. I am ignoring it as much as possible. There won't be real results for awhile.

    Crazy morning – First time in ages leaving for gym soon – many hrs behind schedule. The ATM at the grocery store caused a double withdrawal error – but I only recd cash once. I needed to go to the bank and straighten out – it will take 10 days before I get my credit – oh well.

    Election Day Lunch - Boneless pork chop, peppers, radish, cucumber, red onion, artichokes, Italian blend lettuce and Balsamic spray. Just had a thought – Pork & Politics… Too funny!

    ms8wsp7a1jex.jpg


    Anne & Lin – I’m avoiding all the talking heads on TV today and will wait until evening. I know media like to get the controversy between guests…I will pass.

    Sandy – You and Jean are 2 peas in a pod… Being the super aware guy I am (cough, cough), I noticed this morning Jean Bills had swapped out the kitchen Halloween lights etc for Fall. The other rooms are done and flags outdoors. I am sure the rug outside our front door has changed – you just reminded me “to notice.” LOL

    16pvnak7nmcv.jpg


    Jackie – Hope the weather gets warmer for you. Today is another cold one – BUT – 70 degrees is expected this coming weekend (and upper 60’s soon) . Way above norm. Love your positive perspective on people being “inventive and amusing” while dealing with Covid etc. I just think we are all going a little nuts (LOL – there I go thinking back to the picnic table diner).

    Have a great evening everyone – time for the treadmill!

    I’ve got what I asked for... The rain appears to have moved away and the sky is blue and sparkly with Autumn sunshine. With it comes near freezing temperatures but wrapped up for our morning walk I won’t mind that and the dogs will love it. The washing machine is trundling through a cycle so I can get a load out on the rotary line before our walk.
    A busy day so not sure when I’ll drop in but will at some point.

    Happy Wednesday and I hope the sun shines on you all.
    Jackie

    PS I’ve kept the radio switched off for a peaceful start to my day. 😊

    England in lockdown!! You couldn’t make this up either.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-54807399

    I checked the BBC website to check on our ever changing lockdown rules and saw also what’s happening in the U S of A. I’ve nothing intelligent to offer so will keep schtumb.

    Happy days!!! 🙃😊😘

    An awesome start to the day… didn’t get to sleep until 1-2am… up at 5am…coffee & gym. A bit chilly outside, but while on the treadmill the sunlight came in thru the window as if to say – enjoy and seize the day. Also got some decent steps.

    9fr8bhdvnx3w.jpg


    Newspaper listed businesses re: potential coronavirus exposure - my grocery store had 1 employee testing positive. Customers advised to watch symptoms, if you shopped 10/27-10/29 (8:30 to 5pm). I normally go B4 8am. I always follow guidelines and figure – whatever will be will be. Overall, my area is pretty darn good.


    Nov 4th is always a bit hard on Jean…the anniversary of her dad’s death. Hard to explain, but they were VERY connected and by connected I mean morning & evening phone call every day 365 days a year. We included him in all holidays, went for lunches etc. He was a pleasure to be around. He loved going to the casino with his brother every month or so up until medical problems surfaced.

    27d8u4qgbhyr.jpg


    Washed the car this morning and will be avoiding most of the blah blah blah on TV today. I am a news junky BUT not interested in a bunch of talking-head biased “analysis”. Just give me facts & information and I will research and form my own opinion. Miss the days of mainstream media just “reporting” news and not selling a viewpoint… many journalists now, like to make themselves the focus. Actually there are very few real journalists left. It’s a changing world and simply turning to 1-2 TV stations for the news will leave a person lacking in balanced perspective.

    Lin – Nice blue tea pot… hope you can push that disconcerting news out of your head.

    Anne – you’re cheating people…LOL – with just a taste of the lyrics:

    “ Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
    When you're perfect in every way
    I can't wait to look in the mirror
    'Cause I get better lookin' each day
    To know me is to love me
    I must be a hell of a man
    Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
    But I'm doin' the best that I can”

    Ha ha ha …. :D

    Jackie – Like you, I will keep “schtum” except to say thank you for adding a word to my vocabulary…until your post, I had never heard the word and love it! :)

    Bye for now – enjoy the day! Bob

    Thank you BOB! Don't forget the rest. Something about egotistical? I guess if us ordinary non egotistical keep smiling the old world will keep turning regardless of who thinks they "run" it. My turn to pipe down.
    Jeans dad looks a very nice gentleman. We all, or almost all, love and miss our dads.
    I almost made myself a Black Russian last evening. I'm not into booze actually and I managed to desist. The vodka and Kailua bottles are so ancient and unopened they could be labelled vintage. Nothing has driven me to drink them as of yet.
    However JACKIE......... we appear to be heading down the same path as the UK. LOCKDOWN! People just have to have fun!

    Happy Wednesday! :) All I will say is that I don't think we will know the results of the election until tomorrow or possibly even Friday. I will be picking up my groceries this afternoon and visiting with Joe since we are supposed to reach 72 degrees. We are meeting from 3-4 now because of the time change so it should still be sunny and warm.
    My grandson Robby who is six has been diagnosed with ADHD and will probably need medication to help him. His IQ is 119 but with a low score in processing speed index. I know it is common in children but it still breaks my heart, no one wants to put their child on medicine but let's just hope it is not forever.

    Anne, I used to love a White Russian when I was young, it was a good after dinner drink. The limerick is good and I know many a person who could sing it. lol The virus is not just disappearing and with winter coming they say it will get much worse. UGH.

    Bob, does that mean it will probably rain, now that you washed the car?? Jean's dad was very good looking and love hearing they had such a wonderful relationship as I did not. Today is my sister's birthday who left us in 2012. I miss her every day, she was three years older than me and we were the best of friends.

    Lin, interesting teapot and I also love blue. Just keep the news off and be surprised.

    Jackie, glad you got some sunshine even though it is cold, much better than rain.

    Barbie, Sasha evidently does not like rain, poor baby. Babe told me today that the vet came to their house to give Daisy a shot to help her hips and his son will give her two shots a week for a couple of weeks. I do help it helps her, I just don't want her in pain.

    Enjoy your day and as for me, I am still praying.

    A lovely walk this morning but I needed a warm hat! Over 6,000 steps. George seemed quiet and didn’t rush about as normal but I think he was still recovering from his walk to the allotment yesterday evening. My neighbour told me when they got back that he seemed very nervous on the road so she picked him up and carried him a couple of times but I know cars rushing home in the dark would have scared him so probably wasn’t a good idea for him to have gone.

    I spent some time before lunch shopping for paintbrushes and also picked up some wooden posts for a planned job at the end of my garden to fence off a section of hedging where the fox squeezed through last year. A bit of belts and braces but better than another attack.

    Ha ha Bob, our British English language has a myriad of “foreign” words we’ve adopted over the centuries when we’ve been invaded and we have a strange fondness for most of them! You’re more than welcome to adopt Schtum although use wisely; I see spellcheck isn’t enamoured! 😅
    Jean’s dad does look like someone everyone would feel comfortable around and how great for them to have enjoyed such a close relationship.

    Mmm, when I worked in an office in Toronto a group of us would visit a bar on the way to the subway for a round or two of delicious White Russians. I have fond memories of the place!

    Anne, if your lockdown is similar to ours I’d say spot the difference! Everyone I talk to is carrying on as they have since we came out of the first one so I think apart from my hairdresser that I had an appointment booked with next week, all other businesses are saying it’s necessary they remain open. Anticipating this moment I’ve gradually stocked up so I won’t have to shop and I hope you get a chance to do the same.

    Time to light the log burner and consider an evening meal. Cooked lunches is not working for me right now!

    Stay safe everyone

    Interesting time in history isn’t it? I was, (you knew I would be) obsessed last night. I watched, chewed my nails, got excited, then downhearted, then disgusted, now resigned and at the moment, I have achieved a true sense of selfish disinterest. In other words I am demented, as usual.

    Cloudy here with showers and very breezy. Katie pops in and out of the back yard. She demands a towel-off frequently. Then she runs off with the towel, shaking it and playing tag. Thank goodness she is in charge of the family mental health.

    Veggie soup again tonight, and a special cracker I found that is so healthy I am sure it will probably taste like cardboard.. AND one glass of red wine.

    I am hunting for a new TV series to watch with John. Doc Martin? Father Brown? Some other detective series that would be engaging. We have to buy the DVDs because our internet TV is just plain wimpy. Some English series DVDs will not play on our DVD player, sadly.
    Be brave....we can get through this!

    Quick check-in –
    Gorgeous afternoon…. We took a couple more walks. One outdoors and a second at the mall. We almost never go into the “At Home” store…but did today. Like teenagers we snapped a couple photos next to some blow-up holiday characters to make funny pics.

    q6yc6u9d8qwb.jpg
    9w7ofzxvc2eb.jpg


    Lunch was nothing big but hit the spot - Fresh Italian Escarole Blend, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Red Onion, cucumber, banana peppers, spaghetti squash, Outer Aisle - Cauliflower Sandwich Thins, 1 slice, Rao sauce, cheddar cheese..
    Actually been pretty lazy…. Disconnected from social media by about 90% (letting the dust settle a bit LOL), read a little and just chilled.

    0v2ducjsa19t.jpg

    Anne – You got that right…. And always loved the quote about remembering that “100 years from now all new people.” Keeps things in perspective. Admittedly, I have the advantage of being married and know who really runs things. Jean’s dad was a very nice man and had no enemies etc. He could be shy and I know some ladies that liked him…but he never ventured in that area.

    Must say, I pretty much miss everyone that has passed (with the exception of 1 or 2) – but I remind Jean we are at the “batter-up”and it won’t be long before we are someone’s memory. I am never morbid about it – just the circle of life.

    Sandy – Funny you should start out with Happy Wednesday… I started the first few minutes not even thinking what day of the week it was. Have a feeling all this election business is going to take a while and hence, reduced my coverage watching a lot.

    We are enjoying the same kind of heat wave…it was about 70 today and in the sun – just heavenly! I know what you mean about the ADHD etc. My family is very large and there have been a couple with special issues…fortunately, I have watched the slowly grow and “significantly” improve.

    I did check the weather forecast and should be good to go thru next Monday… so the car wash should hold-up and I hope to give the inside a thorough cleaning this week. All this Covid etc has my car not looking as pristine as I like…reusable grocery bags, extra masks, hand cleaner, paper towels, head phones etc. So sorry about your sister, always hard to lose a sibling. I was really close to 2 of 3 siblings and miss my “big brother” all the time – he was 2 yrs older and died without warning in his sleep. So many plans I put off always thinking there was tomorrow.

    Jackie – I shared my “word of the day with Jean.” I would tell you more about her dad, but have decided to remain schtum.

    Patsy – you must be exhausted from all those emotions LOL. We were engaged in everything last night… I must say I assumed some of what has happened, I thought could happen. Now, I have pulled back until I have more “facts” – actually it could be a while before I express much of an opinion to friends. This will take some time to sort out and some people – are just too far left/right and by that I mean express themselves with the “’F” word, dumb meme’s etc and act like they have made a valid point.

    I think I am happy to be in our weather pattern right now vs your cloudy/breezy/showers. Like you I weny 100% veggie for dinner just now…cooked a bunch of veggies threw them in a bowl – missed in some red sauce and called it dinner. I have to stop by addiction to Rebel (Chocolate or Cherry Chip) Ice Cream - Healthy but full-fat, low carb, no sugar added.

    Everyone hang in there… as one redhead said - The sun will come out, Tomorrow, Bet your bottom dollar, That tomorrow… you get the idea.

    There'll be sun! Bob

    :) Jake has watched all the results on election day since he was old enough to vote. I want to keep my distance so we've found a way to get along. I've spent time dancing in the other room and watching TV with headphones. About an hour ago he got a phone call from a friend who shares his political point of view and loves to talk about it so he had someone to talk to.

    Happy November 5th JACKIE, bangers and mash for dinner tonight?

    I must admit BARBIE I have difficulty not watching election races, mine up here and everyone else's. Must be something to do with being born in October? Fortunately my elder son shares this fascination. Him being at work, I did manage to turn off the radio during his working hours. Just off to have a peep at the BBC news to see if you've got a new president or same old, same old.

    WARM outside! 64F today.

    Enjoy! Day to rake leaves.

    Morning at a glance. Great coffee, warm temps, great sunrise & weather forecast, Gym completed 7000+ steps, Righteous Brothers & Andy Williams while on treadmill, grocery store, back home made salad for the afternoon using end of veggies (trash day and wanted to get rid of items almost used up). All completed before 8:30am. Will make a turkey burger as main dish with side veggie.

    dzj0lkn16s9d.jpg


    Have an afternoon rheumatologist appointment. Waste of time from my perspective. Been on methotrexate for years and they do blood work re: liver. Wish they would just give me script for blood work and perhaps one in office appt a year. Maybe I’ll ask once things are back to normal.

    Barbie – that was funny! I watched a lot of election results but took yesterday off. I think this is all going to take a while with ups and downs. Much of mainstream media has an agenda, so I search out multiple sources. But I am no longer glued and spot-check for “real news / facts” to follow up on vs. talking heads giving their “opinion / analysis”. I did my job – I voted. I do watch a lot of news generally, including BBC, Australia etc. but have no use for “silly” yuck-yuck reporting that treats an audience like a child.

    Anne – See above. LOL. Like you, I often multi-task playing radio in the background and do have my regular “can’t miss” programs. Isn’t this weather awesome!

    Have a great day ! Bob

    Happy Thursday! :) Meeting this afternoon and I am speaking again. It will be a repeat of a talk I gave last year as no one stepped up to speak. We are going to get up to 70 so it will be another warm visit with Joe. I do wish they would declare who won the election, my anxiety is over the moon causing my blood pressure to be high. I want all the votes counted as I was one who mailed in my ballot. Hopefully, today we will have the results one way or the other.

    Lin, pretty teapot. Can you tell us how you are feeling? Any bruises or pain??

    Bob, love the Righteous Brothers, brings back many memories. Also loved Andy Williams so good choice in music. I try not to watch the news as well but the suspense is killing me. lol

    Barbie, are you and Jake on the same page about the election? Now that I am visiting Joe earlier it is easier to ride my bike when I return home and before dinner. I am maintaining my weight under goal so I am happy.

    Hello to everyone but I must eat and get ready before time escapes me once again.

    Hi, I am doing better. Just spent the morning trying to get access to the bank account with the company that was acquired. Finally, I believe I have a working login and checks ordered. Finally something accomplished.

    Yes, things have not gone so well since I took my fall. I was lucky to have an in-town friend who checked in with me online a couple of times a day. I read up on what to do with potential injuries and she not only had some experience but she has two friends who are newly retired nurses. I got lots of advice. No, I did not go to the emergency room. Cracked or bruised ribs, doesn’t really matter, they don’t wrap them these days. So give it five or six weeks and things should be better. My big toe is still twice it’s size and interestingly colored.

    Election results will go on endlessly I am afraid.

    I hope everyone has as good a day. We are still enjoying unseasonably warm weather. 🍁🍁🌞

    Hello Jackie, Anne, Sandy, Bob, Barbie, Patsy, Diane, Jeri and Buzz.

    Lin 🙋🏼‍♀️

    :)Sandy, Jake and I are are on the same side politically but I may be a bit more of an extremist than he is. I know what I believe and don't need to watch TV to find out more about what is going on. I know what's wrong in the world and I don't need to be presented with more evidence. Jake enjoys all the political discussion. He found a station he likes to watch and I can live with it.

    :)Lin, Hope you feel better soon.
