    Hi everyone,

    It's been a very eventful week around our house!!!
    We had a 3/4 in hot water pipe in our slab that burst. Took a plumber and his assistant 7.5 hours to locate and reroute the pipe. We have 4 big holes in the Sheetrock that will have to be repaired and a bill of $1321 but grateful to have it fixed.

    That's my story for the week.

    Wow, Nancy sorry for your burst pipes. That is a hefty bill but you are safe and sound.
    Sometimes life gets boring but we don't need those problems.

    Marie, winter will be here in my area starting this winter on Saturday night until Tuesday. Of course Tuesday when I have to drive to choir practice. Oh well. ;)

    Update on my knee, I went to the chiropractor and have pulled my hamstring on both sides of my knee.
    There is also a tendon involved on the left side. I had a treatment and she recommended ice, stretches,
    analgesic of some kind and epsom salt baths. No yoga today, so I will walk instead and she said try biking and see how it feels.

    Enjoy the day!

    Marie...we are having ham, lots of veggies, and regular baked sweet potatoes. I am not baking but will buy one sweet potato pie and will have a piece. My daughter has to work and son/DIL will go to her mom's house to eat. We will drop in over there later.

    You will get back in the swing of things soon! I am still holding my same weight, thank goodness!

    Hello to everyone!

    Hi,
    I watched the nascar race yesterday and my guy won, Jim my Johnson, it was great, he has won 7 championships. It was a cold weekend here, but on friday, it was 82. Our weather is always so crazy in Ky. I made some beef vegetable soup on Saturday, It turned out really good. Sunday while the race was on, I cooked a small picnic ham. I use the fat on it, for seasoning in my beans and other things. I also cooked a hashbrown casserole with frozen french fries, I chopped up.It turned out good. I have now loud in 1001 days on mfp, it's surprising, it's been that many days.

    Shirley-I hope your knee and legs feel better soon. Take care.

    Marie-I also hope you and your sniffles get better, before Thanksgiving. Have you cooked anything lately in your instant pot?

    Connie-Glad to hear your weight is down still. I am sure you will drop again soon.

    As for me and my weight, I am up still, after all my treatments, I indulged more. This year my weight has been all over the place up, down, up, now I just need to get it back down, and more, my head just hasn't been in it. But I'm already cutting back.
    Hi to all the others, I hope you are doing good. Janice

    I am still pampering my knee and I have a chiropractor apt. this afternoon. It is getting better but I still have some pain in the back of knee. I think a tendon is also involved.

    I will be leaving tomorrow for Thanksgiving celebration with friends and their family and Black Friday shopping. See you when i get back on Monday.

    Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!!!! It was a great day here. Very windy and rainy this morning. But by noon the wind had switched and the sun came out. After I finished baking 4 pies I decided to go for a hike and burn a few calories before I stuffed myself. Here is a pic of the lake. It is less than a mile from my house so it is a very convenient UPHILL all the way hike. Great therapy for the knee. cjf84x4flvgw.jpg

    Hi Marie. The only snow is on the mountain tops. Just as long as it stays that way I will be happy. We usually get very wet sloppy snow here. And it usually only lasts a few hours. I will keep hiking until the termination dust gets to low for me. Termination dust is an old gold miners term for snow.
