Saturday morning, up early so doing a big, big wash to catch the cheap electricity rate between 7am and 7pm. Do you get that in the States and the UK? One thing we are short of is soldiers. Apparently there are more soldiers over at the Capitol than in the whole of the entire Canadian armed forces. Let's hope nobody gets any ideas about Ottawa! Mind you we can't really assemble to attack anyone up here being in shutdown and who would want to storm Ottawa in the winter anyway.
Deciding what to do with myself today. I rarely get bored but today could be a challenge. It's the sort of day to get online and order stuff I can live without. Maybe a day to hack at the hair? I'll probably end up wearing a tuque for the rest of January and February as the tufts grow back in.
Well the machine can be heard faintly from the basement grinding to a halt so must away and get 10 minutes cheap drying time.
No adventures today BARBIE unless I trip going down the stairs.
Bye and hope Saturday is less quiet in a nice way for everyone!

Early rain drifted away so after nothing more than a banana for breakfast I took the dogs on one of our longer walks. Only saw one dog walker and another severely overweight lady jogging. Good for her I thought but just waved and said good morning.
Sorry to read the queue was so long for the vaccine Barbie. Seems a shame it can’t be more organised so you could book ahead. At least the 2 of you had a great anniversary.
Your Mexican dish sounds yummy Anne, especially with the mozzarella cheese addition. I love the flavour of cumin but am always wary of 🌶!!
Oh dear I can hear a neighbour’s dog barking some way off and the sound of her food bowl being tapped. She’s a Labrador so an offer of food should bring her home! Interesting that the spellcheck only offers Labradoodle; a sign of the times!
Anne, Are you and Mike completely locked down now or do you have a bubble between you? Even with our bubble my neighbours stay well away now these variants are spreading so quickly so we only converse outdoors or by text. Thank goodness you have Dorio and Co. to keep your cupboards stocked.
Can’t wait to see what video Bob comes up with next! 😁
No set plans today but I might attempt to plant a few bulbs that should have gone in before Christmas when the ground was too wet. A few Alliums called purple sensation and Russian snowdrops called “Puschkinia” (of course!!) that have a pretty blue and white striped flower. Too late for this year because snowdrops are already surfacing but a long term plan. 🤞
If we can believe what we’re told the over 70’s should now get a vaccine by mid February but not holding my breath since our Boris has a habit of being over optimistic.
Another weekend already and halfway through the month. Doing very little seems to speed up my clock!!
Hello to all sneakers. Take care and as ever, stay safe.
👩🏼🌾🥰 Jackie0 -
Qyickie for JACKIE, I don't expect to see Mike for two weeks if we do as we are told. Fat chance of that happening with folks still out at work including Mike. I think the loud foghorn and red message saying STAY HOME shocked everyone initially. The street was unnaturally quiet yesterday. I'll be taking Bean out soon but better wear my mask should I encounter another dog walker. I haven't seen Dorio for two weeks and hope he's okay on a different shift. Anne.0

Happy Saturday Morning. No idea what today entails. Guess a little snow and colder temp this morning was inevitable (morning pic). Pit stopped at grocery store for side dishes to go with planned afternoon steak.
Got home from gym and Jean had her boom-box playing loudly while she showered. Kinda cute, if you know what I mean. Reminds me of the Blake Shelton song: Who Are You When I'm Not Looking - “Who are you when I'm not around? When the door is locked and the shades are down?...”
Sandy – What a kind thing to do – checking in on those who might not be doing too well. So easy for anyone to get into a funk, between weather, news, Covid or life in general. Sometimes it only takes a call from a caring person to turn things positive…even if the laundry is delayed. LOL
As for the new mat – I would never “scold” – I have it too good. We also love the Olive Garden salad and probably the main reason we occasionally go. We had a gift card for another restaurant… but saving it for warmer weather and outdoor dining. Again – warm wishes that all works out for Lisa’s dad.
Jackie – Glad the “Anne” video brought back memories. It was only last week Jean and I were talking about “younger” days and something surfaced and I said… OMG that was 50 yrs ago! My older brother’s wife is in her early 80’s and told me she wanted to be a teen again…I told her she didn’t dream big enough and that I wanted to go back to the day my mother heard the doctor say “It’s a boy!” LOL
If I had known you were going to say: “Can’t wait to see what video Bob comes up with next!” I would have dug up something more entertaining. As it was my pick for the treadmill this morning was just over and hour – a bit more cerebral: The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast - Season 4 Episode 1: Matthew McConaughey
https://youtu.be/y8wBjH8aXw4
Anne – Glad the meal turned out great. I looked up “The Lighthearted Cookbook: Recipes for Healthy Heart Cooking” and there are lots of used copies for only $3.00 so I might pick one up. All the reviews were good. I go both ways re: meat ingredient (but I do like the hot spices). My meat consumption is Waaay below what it was in the old days at a mere 2-3 oz range normally down from “bring me the cow.” Keep on dancing!
Time to check with Jean on the plans for today… maybe just a ride. Who knows?
Be safe, be good (not too good) and enjoy your day! Bob

Good morning. An overcast weekend with bits of snow expected. I need to try to get to the mailbox this morning. We had temps slightly above freezing yesterday afternoon so we were warned of re-freeze overnight.
Looking forward to the weekly Saturday morning Facebook Live. I have all the bits and pieces finished so I can assemble cards while listening and watching once in a while.
Now for a very different teapot. Well, teapot in form but not in function.
Woven teapot “..."her sculptural basket forms made by twining waxed linen..reflect her background as a traditional basket maker..she also uses coiling..knotting and random weave"...lois russell...fiber artist..basketmaker..educator....boston..massachusetts...born 1951...”

Just wanted to say BOB, if you can find The Lighthearted cookbook all the recipes I've tried have turned out well. It's chock full of interesting info. as well. A section on diabetes as well and if you are a Canadian male you should be eating 2300 cals a day and seeing you live just over the border I guess it applies as well, lol. I like how it compares home cooked to takeout or restaurant etc.
Well worth $3 !
Anne.

Hello! We are supposed to have a week of sun. Not wanting to be pessimistic, but sun in the PNW in winter? I tend to doubt that prediction. It would be welcome, no doubt.
We bought a series call Big little lies, staring EVERYONE! Including Streep. Should be a rollicking good time. Nasty women going at one another. In a sort of funny but not so funny way.
Packing a picnic lunch and heading out to the beach to look at the past winter storm beach erosion. We have a shipwreck from the 1800s that has been appearing and disappearing on one of our beaches for years. The only thing left is a metal skeleton. It was called he Peter Iredale. It is the subject of millions of photos. I know John has taken several hundred, in truth. We don’t get out of the car in most cases. Katie barks at the seagulls and eats pieces of chicken as we eat our chicken sandwich. I know! It sounds like a senior citizen picnic but that’s how we roll these days.
I have a load of laundry going and I am fixing a stir fry veggie dinner over rice or noodles...I must confer with John on that. He is choosey and I don’t mind cooking for his moods. He is my spoiled brat!
I had a very short night’s sleep so I will nap after dinner or opt for an early bedtime. My eyes just droop and shut...then I wake up a half hour later. What? How did that happen?
I know I don’t have to say it...stay safe dear ones!

Happy Saturday!
I did clean the house and this morning did the sheets for my bed. Waiting to hear from Lisa on whether she is coming here or I am going there for movie afternoon/night. Her dad has a catheter so doesn't want to take a chance on kids jumping on him. I asked if she wanted to get out of the house and come here but neither of us can make a decision. As I type she texted and said Robby would like me to come there since he has a new bed tent and wants to be near it. ?????? Kids minds are different then ours. lol So I better get the bed made, ride the bike and get ready.
Sorry I don't have time to answer each of you, but know that I want you safe and happy.

Late afternoon “check-in”.
Just got back from Michaels “Going out of business” sale! Nothing will really be left by closing. ******* Instead of $171.68 we paid $11.94 for some beautiful frames ****** Of course we were there 2 hours just in line outside and inside the store (6ft distancing etc.). People had multiple carts loaded up with craft items, frames etc. We bought nothing compared to others in line.
We only ate our first meal a minute ago: NY Strip- Grilled & Boneless - Steak, Spaghetti Squash, Grilled Vegetables, Lilllie's - Zero Sugar Carolina Bbq Sauce
Lin – Looks like we are experiencing similar weather today. Thought of you at Michaels – you would have had a field day! As for the “woven” tea pot – it’s a first for me. I Googled “Lois Russell-Basketry” and found more work on Pinterest.
Anne – Will definitely check into picking up a copy of that book. There has to be a joke in that Canadian male calorie count. LOL I do like that it compares home-cooked vs restaurant. There was a time I didn’t pay attention to labels…but do now. While I prefer homemade sauce I do occasionally buy Rao's jar sauce. What a difference there can be.
Patsy – Yes - Big Little Lies- we watched and enjoyed Season 1 and 2. Not sure when Season 3 is scheduled. I know they took their time in renewing it and imagine Covid has had an impact. I must say, I really loved a lot of the music they play. In fact, I downloaded some from iTunes and made a cd.
Sandy – Don’t blame Lisa’s dad at all when it comes to a catheter ad jumping kids. Be honest, you can’t wait to climb into that new bed tent with Robby. LOL.
Enjoy the evening everyone. Bob

Lots of phone calls and messages today. A close friend has tested positive for Covid and is somewhat unwell. Her husband tested and is negative. They have split up the house for quarantine for the next several weeks. She is checking her blood oxygen level every few hours. She apparently was unable to contact her doctor’s office to ask about monoclonal antibodies.
And a friend was very upset about a situation and we talked for a long time. I don’t know that it helped at all but I tried. And I am tired.
Called a friend to wish her a happy birthday tomorrow. She will be busy all day tomorrow.
But I did finish my Valentines. Will wait a while to address them. A couple will go out of state so will send those sooner than the rest.
I have started on the cards for the veterans. Just a small start. But a start.
Going to watch a movie. The episodes of Spenser for Hire Seasons 2 and 3, are now listed as unavailable in my area. Growl. Are you able to watch them Bob?
Did I say how much I adored Allan Sherman when I was younger? I did. Loved his comedy.
Sandy, enjoy the tent!
Patsy, your picnic sounds lovely to me.
Barbie, I am sorry you did not receive the vaccine.
Jackie, sorry you have to pass on planting some of your bulbs. Interested about that variety of snowdrops. I saw a photo today and the person said these were lily of the valley. Didn’t look like that to me. I thought they were snowdrops. Opinion?
Off I go.

I am trying not to be grumpy about how the vaccine is being handled in my town. On the surface, it looks fair since it is limited to people over 70 and their domestic partners and is only for people in our town. You have to show ID with birthdate and address to get the vaccine. But there are so many people in that category and there are no appointments. You just go and get in line in your car. The first people to get their vaccine on Thursday arrived in their pop up van the night before. Many others slept in their cars. By the time we tried to get in line at about 8:15 AM, we were told that the line was full for the day. On Saturday, the line was full before 6 AM. We plan to go about 5 AM on Tuesday, but even if we get into the line, we'll still be waiting hours since they don't start the vaccine process until 9 AM. I'm sure there's a better way, but I don't know what it is.

This is about the line up for the vaccine on Thursday. Near the bottom of the page is a video of the line taken by drone.0 -
Snowdrops, LIN, lily of the Valley flower in May and have wider leaves.
Up late and I'm still exhausted! Why? Mark phoned to tell me to watch Hockey Night in Canada. Why I asked would I want to watch bearded men clout each other with sticks. It's Toronto versus Ottawa said Mark. Something to watch. We've come to this on the TV? Well I did and finally figured out the lads in white with a great big maple leaf on their backs were Toronto. Toronto won 3 - 2 but I missed the last goal because me and Jilly fell asleep on the couch. Remarkably no one hit anyone with a stick, no fights broke out, which amazed me in the time I was awake because I thought hockey was more dangerous than rugby, which I prefer.
Actually Mark and I agreed that it was much more entertaining watching Derek when very young who was the worst hockey player ever. The funniest was when he finally scored! But only because the goalie was preoccupied elsewhere. The look on Derek's face is never to be forgotten.
Anyway it turned out that yesterday wasn't so bad as expected earlier in the day.
I'm off to shower and wash the hair.
Bye for now, Annsie Baby.
PS. Incidentally my no longer Grecian nose was achieved on the playing fields of old England playing field hockey at 14 and a stick was raised too high and made friends with my once Grecian nose. No helmets in my schooldays. No doctors to visit and put right either. Told to stop moaning and mop up the blood.

Just read Barbies post. The way I see it if everyone gets their shots eventually I won't need to. Haven't got a car anyway. So sorry though for you and Jake, Barbie. Unorganized mayhem.0

“A Sunday well spent brings a week of content.” – Unknown
Mornin’ Sneakers! – Cold, some snow, gym done (7000 steps) and Sunday vinyl music selected…. Who know what the rest of the day holds…except finish Cobra Kai on Netflix.
Lin – Sorry about your friend testing positive. Hope things work out ok. Hopefully she can get thru to her doctor Monday re: monoclonal antibodies just in case she falls into that category since they are known to reduce hospitalizations. Great Valentine’s Day cards! AS for Spenser – for some reason no longer available in my area for free…hence my decision to finish Cobra Kai
Barbie – Sounds like you have the right to be a bit grumpy re: vaccine qualifications but lack of appointment availability. Those lines sound horrible! Best wishes at your 5am try.
Anne – Had no idea Canadians liked hockey. Ha ha Enjoy that shower and this day!
Time to seize the day… after a hot relaxing bath. Bob

I hadn't either BOB until I emigrated! Tried to skate when I first came over. Sat down heavily and I thought my spine had driven up through my skull! Skating over. Especially when I remembered two great aunts had drowned in their teens skating and going through the ice on the lake in Hornsea. The town where my dad's lot came from originally. Anne.0

Good morning. Snow again today. But light. Winter. ❄️❄️
Anne, I was certain they were NOT lily of the valley but no one contradicted her. I thought I must have lost my marbles or something. Now this morning, another picture of the same flower and they are captioned as snowballs. 🙃❄️❄️🙃
Laundry is chugging away. Church later. Time to start gathering up trash today. I haven’t done much in that regard this week.
Bob, okay, so you have been cut off by Amazon as well. I wonder why they did that to us? I am taking it personally. 😂
Barbie, it is crazy everywhere. It seems the distribution system needs some revamping. The friend I spoke to yesterday thinks she will get her vaccination in a couple of weeks. She must know something I don’t.
I found out last night that my friend with dementia, who is living alone, is really alone this weekend. Her only family went on a vacation. So she is totally on her own with no one to call even if she could figure out who to call. She left me a voicemail message yesterday thanking me for a card. I haven’t sent her a card for a while, she must have seen an envelope on her table (where she keeps her mail). Yeah, I know, there is nothing I can do.
Okay, so a teapot. A blue Meanie.
Good day everyone. Be safe.

Happy Sunday! Watched my church service live on TV this morning. Having a video call with my kids at one and then off to pick up a Valentines gift for my grandson at Best Buy later. (they bring it to my car) He is into Roblox, which I am not sure what that is but he enjoys it and you can buy things to enhance the game. I ordered two gift cards yesterday but decided I need a third since I bought Max a Mario toy and a gift card so thought Robby should have two. Charlie is getting a sweatshirt with a bling unicorn. (Thanks Bob) I have to think ahead on these things because you never know what will be available and how long for shipping.
Lisa's dad ended up in ER yesterday due to some swelling and they were concerned about a blood clot. It was not, so they changed his bandage and he is home again. He sees his doctor tomorrow for the results although Lisa said they did find two tumors in his bladder so that doesn't sound good to me. But positive thoughts and lots of prayers.
Movie night was strange without them but we watched the animated version of Lion King which I love. I asked Charlie if I could lay on her lap and Lisa snapped the most precious picture.
She was stroking my face while Ewok was giving me kisses. Melts my heart.
Lin, stange teapot, looks like it has wings. Sorry about your friend who has Covid, I hope she has a mild case with no hospitalization. Your other friend with no support and having dementia is very sad. Is there no one to take care of her?? Does she live in her own home or assisted living?? Breaks my heart.
Bob, love you choice of music this morning, the rock stuff, not so much.
Anne, better everyone get the vaccine even you. Herd immunity won't work if people refuse the vaccine. What do your boys think about the vaccine? Best to talk to your doctor about your individual choice. Just my opinion. Sorry to read you had a broken nose and no medical treatment but honesty can't see a crooked nose in your pictures.
Barbie, it is hard to not feel grumpy with such long lines. Maybe things will loosen up and the vaccines will be available through other sources. In Illinois they are saying that they hope to get the vaccine to pharmacies and doctors to make it readily available. My age will be ready on the 25th but I will wait until it is available with no long lines.
Patsy and Jackie, how is your Sunday going??
Time to shower and get ready to seize the day as Bob just posted.

Vaccines. It all depends on your bodily reaction to them. Some of us are just not of the herd. A.
PS. My broken nose is a bump at the top near the forehead and is very useful for anchoring my glasses when I bend over.
Which leads me to ask JACKIE did you play "away" hockey at a school in East Yorkshire by any chance? No you couldn't have, different age bracket, lol.0 -
Happy Sunday everyone. It doesn’t suit me to arrive late into our group as there seems so much catching up to do but it was a beautiful start to the day with relatively warm sunshine and I went for a long walk with the pooches. Had an early light lunch and was just walking toward the garden with coffee mug in hand and a plan to weed when a WhatsApp call came through from a friend. We chatted for an hour and just as I was thinking forget weeding, she received a text from a friend of hers suggesting they meet for a socially distanced walk. Against the lockdown rules as I understand them but they have a nature reserve to visit and can’t see the police bothering to stake that area out!! I managed some weeding and also planted the bulbs before dark.
Bob, the video you placed on the forum yesterday was very interesting. I have to admit to never having heard of Jordan B Peterson so naturally looked him up. No.1 of his rules for life had me immediately sitting up straight but No.4 was best and made me laugh out loud because it’s so me... “compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not the useless person you are today.” 😆
Hmm,so Matthew McConaughey has discovered that success and the fame that comes with it brings a whole hornets nest of insecurities. How many celebrities have we heard state that in the past? Nice guy though that comes across as being genuine and sincere.
Lin, yesterday’s teapot was a wonder to behold. I was trying to imagine what would happen when boiling water was poured into it and quickly came to the conclusion it’s for display only. I’m still getting my head round today’s!
Beautiful cards all lined up!
Sorry to read your friend has been diagnosed with Covid and do hope her symptoms will be mild.
The only Snowball flower I know is on a Viburnum tree but America could well have a different name for our snowdrops. My neighbour this afternoon showed me a carpet of the little white beauties on a bank at the bottom of her garden. Hopefully harbingers Of Spring!
Anne, living in Canada, ice hockey always left me cold.... I’ll say no more!!
I remember my dad once laughing at a school report of mine where the Sports teacher wrote “Jacqueline could become an excellent field hockey player but tends to be dangerous raising her stick too high”. A similar report in the summer appeared about my tennis antics!
Patsy, a picnic sounded a wonderful idea especially with Katie joining in! I google searched the shipwreck and found some amazing photos as well as some history about the large number of ships that met their fate in your area. Similar stories are told about our dangerous Cornish waters.... glug, glug!!
Last night I watched the movie A Walk in the Woods, based on a Bill Bryson book with Robert Redford and Nick Norte. Laughed myself silly as they passed a sign stating for experienced hikers only and barely gave it a glance because they were already struggling. More lighthearted movies like this should be made as I found it pure entertainment. Tonight is episode 4 of Serpent, the true horror story about a serial killer that I’ve been drawn into even as I find it uncomfortable viewing.
Be grumpy Barbie; you have every right. The reporter on your news video did seem to suggest the system will be changed to invitations only but what do you have to do to get on that list?
I’ve received notification that our local GP practices have got together to organise vaccinations in a public hall a couple of miles from here. Seem to have already worked their way through the 90+ year olds.
Sandy, that’s the cutest photo of you with Ewok and Charlie. I’d soon be asleep in that position!
Time to fix some supper.
Stay safe
Jackie
PS. I just read Phil Spector died in jail from Covid. I loved his wall of sound created in the sixties and still turn up the volume when his music is played on the radio but mixed emotions since his murder conviction. Waste of a talent!

Up early, walked the pooches then finished tidying the ground along the new drain. Just in time as rain drifted in but I gather the UK is in for torrential flooding rain from tomorrow.... a good test for the new system!
Haha Anne, I never travelled beyond London schools for sport... probably just as well as some were far tougher than mine and I knew when to play nicely (remember Joyce Grenfell the gym mistress?)
It’s apparently Blue Monday (3rd Monday in January) but I don’t let such thoughts get me down.
Lunch and then I have to visit my least popular supermarket for a couple of branded items not available elsewhere. I’ll keep a smile going under my face mask. 😷
Take care, stay safe.

Oh yes! JACKIEI I remember Joyce Grenfell the gym mistress! Dear Margaret Rutherford in blithe spirit as well. Those lovely character actresses are a thing of the past. My favourite comment from school days and pen and liquid ink was after I wrote an essay pretending to be a hobo on a walk for a set piece called "Walking". Miss Redfern wrote "good work, but are the ink blobs included to add a touch of realism."
They don't seem to make teachers like that any more!
Some of the young "ladies" up North were rather a tough lot! When I worked at Ranks in the accounting department I was in their field hockey team. We played other teams from offices and factories. One evening we played against Reckitts. Remember Reckitts? My opposite opponent was a tough looking manly young "lady". Only one of their team was from their office. So my factory opposite player viewed this one brave soul and said to me "don't you just hate these fancy, prancy, prissy office girls". Being of a naturally cowardly nature I kept quiet about my status in life's pecking order! Wouldn't today of course having hardened up somewhat from life's path!
It's a dour sort of day outside but that doesn't stop Jilly looking hopeful at me. I've just been reading about how we should only be feeding our dogs and cats raw meat. It's on the home page of MFP. Jilly Bean only has cooked or raw human meat. Actually the same as all our pets. She's a miniature wolf at heart. When you think about it all the carnivores in zoos get raw meat so maybe I've been doing the right thing all these years the same as my father and grandad.
So much for philosophical thinking
.
Have a good Monday and what's all this "blue Monday" about?
Annsie baby.

Good morning! It is to be a sunny day but so far it looks like we have a thick marine layer. I have no idea what we will see once this lifts and drifts away.
I have been having difficulty with my email and posting on MFP again. So upsetting to put out a little chat with everyone only to have it drift off into the cosmos. What was that quote...The fault dear Brutus is in not in our stars but in ourselves.” I know I have that totally wrong but the point is I think I have not done something quite right. My iPad is a very persnickety appliance. Do it right or nothing goes right.
I am working from my iPad this morning while cuddled in a quilt in the living room chair. I should be doing a few chores before I dive back into the dungeon. More coffee and a replay of Sunday Baroque. I dare not even glance at the news.
I did enjoy all the posts for the last couple of days. As mentioned, my pearls of wisdom have gone astray. So another sip of coffee and Katie wants out in the back yard to chase a few invisible invaders. I will start the laundry process. “ A lovely tip o the hat to yer!” And the week BEGINS!

The server to this group is not working on the app so I am in Safari trying to post.
I have a little grocery order on the way so hope to be back later.
Meanwhile, here’s a photo posted by a collector with no information on the teapots in the photo. So a teapot that says “Tea” and looks a bit like a white pumpkin? 😃
Be safe.
Lin🙋🏼♀️

Happy Monday! Still waiting for results of Tom's biopsy but will have patience until Lisa texts me. Pajamas day for me, not doing anything other than riding my bike. Oh and maybe a grocery order for Wednesday. It is cold and damp and just an icky day.
Lin, yes the teapot does look like a white pumpkin which also makes it look big enough for lots of tea. The problem I have with teapots is that the tea doesn't stay hot enough so you have to microwave it in a cup. I think my daughter has an electric one for that reason. Good luck with your groceries. Still don't know about that blue bird, I was not an album buyer just listened to music on the radio.
Patsy, it is just that kind of day, I think we are all ready for Spring and sunshine.
Anne, you were a tough young lady to play all those sports but the "bully" wasn't nice to say that about the other girls. You were a lady to ignore her remarks and I hope you won the game. I guess your right about vaccines, on our video call my youngest son and my daughter both said they are not getting one. I was kind of hurt seeing as their mom is a senior which makes me not want to visit them even if I get the vaccine. Just personal choices as we see fit.
Jackie, love the cartoon and it is exactly how I feel today. Just droopy!!!
Hello to everyone else, sorry just in a down mood today. Take care and stay safe.

NOTE FOR PATSY WITH HER EMAIL PROBLEMS.
Hi PATSY, I've sent you a short story so don't forget to check your email. Anne. ❤️0 -
HAPPY MLK DAY!
Quiet day so far, got 9000 steps and put together a decent lunch. Monday Lunch (255 cal.) Boneless Pork Chop Top Loin, Spaghetti Squash, Lilllie's - Zero Sugar Carolina Bbq Sauce, Organic Spring Mix, Organic Zesty Sprouts, artichoke parmesan salad dressing, Tomato, Homemade Cole Slaw
Lin – I seem to get just enough benefit out of Amazon Prime to make it worth keeping – for now. Early this morning we flipped over to Netflix for some “Last Tango in Halifax” (British comedy-drama). I first got hooked on the acting of Derek Jacobi when he played the title role in 1976’s BBC series” I, Claudius.” Ditto on the weather again here – light snow. Sad about your friend’s dementia and hope it doesn’t get worse…such a tough situation for all. Have to say those are really great cards! So talented!1
Sandy – What a warm-hearted photo of her stroking your face. Glad you got the sweatshirt with bling unicorn for Charlie. You’re right about planning ahead… One granddaughter and our son-in-law have birthdays in less than 2 months, so we’ll like start looking next month early. With regrads to music – I must confess I never hit the “Queen” mood and substituted with Boz Scaggs, Jim Croce and Linda Ronstadt. LOL
Jackie - Jordan B Peterson is definitely an interesting guy. I have probably listened to dozens of videos covering everything from politics to academia to religion. He has had his own struggles. Matthew McConaughey is one of those actors I grew to appreciate and respect (and I don’t respect many celebrities re: personal lives). First liked him in Armistad and then it seemed he was perhaps just a pretty face for romantic comedies. He showed me his real abilities in Dallas Buyers Club, Lincoln Lawyer, True Detective HBO series…and in interviews over recent years came across as deeper than the average self-absorbed celebrities. I started to call the police about your friends illegal activity – but figured why ruin their fun. LOL
Have a great Monday… and a shout-out to Patsy and Anne, as well!
Bob
