    good morning
    Ed, those banana trees are so cool. They are going to look great when they acclimate and get a bit bigger. Glad progress is being made at work.
    Irene, good news, no tumors. I hope the rest of the news from the MRI is good.
    Jo, best wishes with your surgery today. Hugs.
    We stopped by to see the little ones yesterday. It is so much fun to see them. They are such little characters! They keep us smiling. 🥰
    Yesterday we went out to lunch in Frederick, I had a pear salad, yum. Then we walked around the downtown for a bit.
    I have some errands to run today, library, pick up a few things, etc.
    It's currently 45F, 7C. Abundant sunshine. High 67F, 19C. Winds light and variable.
    Wishing all a smooth, calm Thursday. 🌞🍂🍁🍷

    Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday!

    We have 14 (Celsius) cloudy degrees with an expected cloudy high of 20 and 5% chance of precipitation.

    It should be an interesting work day.

    good morning
    Ed, an interesting day sounds good.
    Jo, hope the surgery went well, and you recover quickly.
    Hi Irene.
    I didn't get to the library yesterday, so will do that today. We went to TJMaxx instead. Picked up some soap, and some cute little baby socks (couldn't resist).
    I have an acupuncture appt in a couple of hours, so will stop at the library after that.
    Our son and daughter-in-law are going to the hospital to have the baby today, we'll be waiting for the news.
    It's currently 47F, 8C. Partly cloudy skies this morning will become overcast during the afternoon. High 68F, 20C. Winds S at 10 to 15 mph.
    Wishing all an easy, happy Friday. 🌥️🍂🍁🍷

    Good afternoon;
    Surgery went well and I now have 20/20 vision. I still need glasses to read or see anything close up.
    Irene-I am glad your MRI showed no tumor.
    Vix-Any news yet on the baby?
    Ed-hope your work day went well.
    Have a good evening. :)

    Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!

    We have 14 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected sunny high of 22 and 2% chance of precipitation.

    I need to get to PetSmart for some cat food, and to a grocery store or two. I have to buy some kind of turkey for Thanksgiving. And I need to buy or get ingredients for dessert.

    Jason has recovered enough to go up to Kentucky for a couple of weeks. He'll help his mother get things taken care of. That house that she was supposed to get seems to have evaporated, but my sister who lives there has a friend in real estate who may be able to help with finding something.

    Jo, that must be great to have 20/20 vision!!! YAY!
    Ed, glad Jason is feeling better and able to visit his mother and give her a hand.
    Great news here. The baby girl arrived at approximately 12:40 a.m today. 6lbs, 1 oz and 18 inches of love. Mom and baby are doing well, Dad is over the moon, beautiful family. Grandparents are elated. 🥰

    Good evening;
    Vix-Congratulations on the new arrival. I am glad everyone is doing well.
    Ed-I am glad Jason is feeling better.
    I spent the morning doing stuff around the house and went shopping in the afternoon. I also went to the library
    to get a few books. I missed reading.
    Have a great evening. :)

    Thanks, Jo. So glad your surgery went well and you are able to read again. :)
    Hi Ed and Irene.
    I spent time with my daughter and grandchildren yesterday. It is always so nice.
    I think we're going to go see our son and daughter-in-law and meet our new granddaughter in the hospital today. So exciting.

    Goos morning;
    Currently 35F with a high of 50F.
    Nothing planned for today. I may go to a pop-up Christmas market a few towns over.
    Vix- I am sure you can't wait to meet your new granddaughter. What is her name?
    Hi Ed and Irene.
    Have a relaxing Sunday! :)

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday!

    We have 12 (Celsius) fair (mostly sunny) degrees (feels like 11) with an expected partly cloudy high of 20 and no chance of precipitation.

    I got what I needed from the store yesterday, but may get back out today for some holiday things that I want, but can't claim that I need. LOL.

    And I have a small load, mostly new socks, in the dryer to fold and put away.

    I got out for my "fun" shopping today.

    I picked up a few things besides the fun stuff, because I happened to see them while in the three stores I visited.

    As I have some minor surgery (it's only really minor if it's happening to someone else, right?) scheduled for December 5, I have decided to skip the usual wine calendar and cheese calendar for this year.

    I will be a teetotaler for at least a couple of weeks around that date.

    But I will still be having a holiday booze calendar!

    I picked up this calendar for the 12 Days of Christmas.

    Then, in my usual Autumn tradition, this year's two bottles of Beaujolais Nouveau.

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday!

    We have 13 (Celsius) cloudy degrees (feels like 12) with an expected cloudy high of 15 and 17% chance of precipitation.

    I got all the laundry folded and put away. For supper last night I made a taco rice with chicken casserole topped with plenty of cheese. Guess what I had for breakfast this morning and will probably have for lunch and supper today? LOL.

    We'll see what the workday brings. It's a short three day work week and extra long weekend starting with Thursday!

    good morning
    Thanks all!
    Jo, glad you had a relaxing day, hope you got out to that Christmas market!
    Hi Irene, how's it going?
    Ed, the Irish Cream looks marvelous! Yum to all those flavors! Enjoy your casserole. ;)
    Our new granddaughter is Madison! (Sounds like a very grown up name, my son is already calling her Maddy.) She is so cute, with a full head of dark hair! She was sleeping most of the time we were there, makes the sweetest little baby sounds in her sleep, and I did get to hold her for a few minutes. It was great to see them, they are so happy. They'll be going home today.
    It's currently 34F, 1C. Partly cloudy this morning, then becoming cloudy during the afternoon. High 49F, 9C. Winds light and variable.
    Wishing all a bright, shiny, cozy holiday week! 🧸🌥️🍂🍷🦃🥧

    Good morning;
    Vix-Maddy is a cute nickname! I can't wait to hear what her cousins think of her.
    Ed-good luck with your upcoming surgery. Irish cream looks good. Do you enjoy it in coffee or straight up?
    Hi Irene.
    I went for my follow-up eye appt. this morning, everything looks good. I have to go back in about 3 weeks for another
    check and to have my eyes dilated. I still have to put drops in my eyes for a while.
    Currently 37F with a high of 39F. It is sunny, but chilly.
    Enjoy your day! :)

    I have had it in coffee in the past. I usually have it straight up now, but mostly because I don't tend to drink coffee in the evening. I may have some decaf with some of it though, just for fun.

    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!

    We have 11 (Celsius) cloudy degrees (feels like 9) with an expected cloudy high of 19 and 100% chance of precipitation. There is a good chance of thunderstorms a bit later this morning.

    No laundry to fold, no clean dishes to put away, and I already have some work stuff running, to be checked on after it's been running a bit longer.

    Jo, thanks. I'll have to ask the cousins what they think. I'm sure they've done a video call.
    I'm so glad your eye exam went well. I have to put drops in a few times a day due to dryness.
    Ed, nothing like an Irish coffee on a cold night. :)
    It's currently 39F, 4C. Periods of rain. Potential for heavy rainfall. High 52F, 11C. Winds ESE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall around a half an inch.

    good morning
    Got to craft day so late yesterday that I only had 1 hour in stained glass. Can't get much done in a hour, maybe I can work on some at home (I'm trying to make holiday gifts, but am way behind!)
    It rained all day yesterday and is very foggy out right now. It's currently 45F, 7C. Clouds and some sun this morning with more clouds for this afternoon. Slight chance of a rain shower. High 54F, 12C. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph.
    I need to make the marinated salad and cranberry sauce today. Getting ready for Thanksgiving!
    Wishing all a happy 🐪 day, and a wonderful Thanksgiving Day tomorrow! 🦃🦃🦃🥧🍷🍂😊

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!

    My post keeps disappearing. The refrigerator is full of food for tomorrow's solo feast.

    I'm still testing "that program" and it looks like it's still having the same issues, despite last night's code updates. Maybe today the programmers will have time to look more closely into that with me. If not, then it will have to happen next week!

    Biscuits in the oven for a light breakfast of sausage and biscuits.

    I may do some parade watching today. On the television. Haven't decided.

    My 2023 Thanksgiving feast.

    Sliced Cajun turkey, Yukon Gold mashed potatoes, classic green bean casserole, turkey gravy, and a huge pan of my home made cornbread dressing. Served with a single Cheesecake Factory brown roll, buttered. Wine of choice, Purple Toad Winery Pinot Noir, 2019, saved for a special occasion and this is it!

    Dessert of pumpkin pie, and one bite size pecan tart.

    Good morning;
    I hope everyone had a good day yesterday.
    I made a chicken pie and mashed potatoes, stuffing, squash, green beans and corn. My daughter is vegetarian lot of veggies for her. We had apple pie for dessert. After dinner we put the Christmas lights on the bushes out in front of the house. It was a fairly nice day, so we wanted to get the lights up now instead of on a cold day.
    Ed-your dinner looks so yummy.
    Irene-good luck at the Neurologists. I will keep you in my prayers. Hugs.
    Vix-Did you have everyone to your house for Thanksgiving?
    I am off to work in a little while for a few hours and then my daughter and I are going to SOWA winter market and out to lunch.
    It should be a fun day.

    Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday!

    We have 8 (Celsius) cloudy degrees (feels like 7) with light rain and and an expected partly cloudy high of 16 with 24% chance of precipitation. I guess I'm in that 24% area.

    Glucose and blood pressure were both a bit high this morning. I guess all that Thanksgiving food was a bit much. Thank goodness it's just once a year!

    Nothing on the agenda for today. Isn't that lovely?

    good morning
    Your feast looks yummy, Ed.
    Jo, your feast sounds yummy too! Lots of veggies are good for you. My Mom used to make apple pie. 💗💗Sounds like a fun couple of days!
    Hi Irene, hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. Hugs.
    Our daughter, son-in-law, and 2 grandchildren came for Thanksgiving (Jen, Steve, Will and Lilly). We had a short video call with our son and daughter-in-law with baby sounds in the background. 💗It was really nice. I made the turkey, salad, cranberry sauce, and sweet potatoes (and failed pumpkin cookies, which I threw out!)
    They brought aperol spritzers, green bean casserole, biscuits, and mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious, and it is always wonderful to spend time with family.💕
    Every year, I've thought about making soup from the turkey bones, and this is the first year I've done it.
    We'll probably visit Josh, Alyssa, and baby Madison today. I packed a few meals worth of Thanksgiving dinner up for them.
    I have a massage scheduled for this a.m.
    It's currently 40F, 4C. Partly cloudy. High near 50F,10C. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph.
    Wishing everyone a happy Friday and holiday weekend! 🦃🍂🍷🌤️
