Good morning;
Vinny survived his trip to the dentist. He had to have 15 teeth pulled. I don't think it leaves him with many. It hasn't stopped him from eating though. He must smell like the vet, because every time he goes near Sophie she hisses at him. Now that the anesthesia has worn off, he seems to be a little sprier that before.
Irene-the leaves on my trees are still green, there are a few that have started to change color.
I think it may be a while before we need to have the leaves raked.
Roger-no treats for Vinny. He only gets wet food. If I give him dry it messes with his blood sugar. Too many carbs, I would guess.
I am off to work, have a great day.

Hi Joanne
Ouch, 15 teeth, poor baby. I can see how wet food would be friendlier for Vinny with not to many teeth left.
That is pretty much how our trees look, I can only guess that the trees in Irene's yard are one of the species that drop leaves earlier than others.

I would not be surprised if the Vets visit left a smell behind.

Have a Nice Day
Roger


Hi Vix

IreneMurman

Hi
I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 41 degrees and comfortable due to the low temperature.

Hi Irene
I wish I could sleep in, I seem to be getting going earlier and earlier these days.

I did pull and wear the hoodie for my walk today since the temperature is low enough that it will be comfortable and not make me work up a sweat.

Enjoy today's walk

Hi Joanne

Hi Vix

good morning, we found 10 cents today the dime was so beat up hard to tell it was a dime. The weather this morning was chilly it was like 45 I did wear gloves and a hat. Today my ns will be delivered most of it will be frozen. well take care everyone

Hi, missed you all! We got back Sunday night. Fantastic trip to NM.
Didn't listen to news all week. The weather was gorgeous and we did a zillion amazing things: petroglyphs, Balloon Fiesta (definitely worth the trip), Sandia mountain tram, Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument, Santa Fe National Park, Georgia O'keefe museum, Santa Fe Museum of Art, International Folk Art Museum, Santa Fe Plaza, Meow Wolf, Railyard district, Old Town Albuquerque, lots of New Mexican food, and met up with my cousin and his partner a few times...so much fun! Our hotel was really interesting...downtown Santa Fe, just a few blocks from lots of tourist attractions. They have been buying up the old neighborhood and fixing up old adobe buildings/houses into guest suites. They also included a great breakfast every morning.
This is the first I've gotten back on my computer. I don't have time to catch up right now, but will be back later to see what you've all been up to.
Hope you're having a great day!

Hi Irene
I have found that sort of beat up money too.

From the higher than normal temperatures to below normal in a very short period.

I hope Your frozen is in good shape. The colder temperatures should help keep it in good condition, since it usually comes from Pennsylvania I have not lost a shipment to melting.

Enjoy

Hi Vix
Good Plan to ignore the news, why get upset when on vacation by things that are not changeable.

Wow, It sounds as if You had a really great vacation. That is interesting information about Your Hotel.

I am not surprised that You will be catching up later.

Have a Nice Day

good morning, Roger I was home when I got my ns knock on wood I have never had a problem with the frozen food. It was really cooler this morning I think it was the wind that made it chilly I actually put the heat on just to 64 but made a big difference. Vix your vacation sounds awesome glad to hear you are having a great time. Hey Jo

IreneMurman

good morning, well it was like 32 degrees this morning it sure has gotten chilly outside. today I go to the hospital I always feel so much better or maybe grateful take care all

Hi
I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 36 degrees and more or less comfortable.
When I checked the Temperature in the house on my return form walking the Rooms where I can see the indoors temperature were all below 60 degrees so on the heat went, along with wondering why I did not turn the heat on before I left given the outdoors temperature.

Hi Irene
I am generally home when I get my NS deliveries too. I am cutting back on the order by not adding extras since I have a lot of certain items on hand, Those being mainly Lunch and Snacks. I am adding extra frozen breakfasts to try and get things back into a balance. Frozen Dinners I can supplement with low calorie frozen meals from the Grocery Store.
The following order shall be pushed back the maximum length of time which is three months. My other option will be clear possibly after a phone call to NS to see what a change to the Weekends on Your Own plan to see if I still get free shipping and Discount.

I find that 64 degrees is still chilly to me.

Even though the outside temperatures are showing above freezing but I passed lawns with frost in the grass.

It seems as if Winter is knocking at the door

I did see a prediction that this winter would be warm and wet. I am unsure whether or not to be happy with this.

Enjoy You Day

Hi Joanne

Hi Vix

Good morning.
Still busy trying to catch up from vacation and still pretty tired in between busy-ness. Need to catch up and get working on my daughter's baby shower, haven't looked through the stack of mail that was here waiting for me. I invited the kids for brunch tomorrow, so want to pick up some things at the grocery and do some baking today. Nice and cool outside, I think it's a high of 62 expected today and pretty sunny so far. I think the dry weather out west made me feel better, not as achy as here. I can feel the difference.
Congratulations on closing on your house Irene! Yay!
Happy Friday, everyone.

Joanne3366

Good afternoon;
Vix-It sound like you had a great time!
Irene-congrats on finding a dime.
Roger-I don't seem to be able to sleep in either. I wake up about the same time every day.
I am off from work for the next 10 days. We have a few day trips planned.
This weekend we are going to see the Head of the Charles Regatta.
Have a great weekend!

Catching up can be a problem. I hope there are no bills that need paying in the stack of mail.

I had family moved to Washington State for health reasons, As recommended by their doctor.

Whee, 10 days off from work, Enjoy the vacation.

good morning, Vix it is always so nice to go on vacation but always tired because you have so much to catch up on. Roger we lived in Spokane WA for 4 years when George was in the air force I still have some very good friends there . Jo 10 days off sound nice take care everyone

Hi all. Had fun with the family today. I made a nice brunch (fritata, Irish soda bread, butternut squash soup, pumpkin bread, juice and coffee) and we caught up. They liked the presents we brought them.
Jo, enjoy your 10 days off....that's nice...good to do day trips, always something new nearby. (We did have a great time on vacation).
Irene, it's nice that you got to live in different places. Washington state is pretty.
Roger, I scanned through the mail for bills...not a problem...I pay most of them online now anyway.
I've been sleeping better since I've been taking CBD oil. I think it helps calm the system.
Maybe I'll catch up on some of the mail today....haha...I think it's mostly junk anyway.
Happy Saturday, everyone!
