    Hi Ladies,
    Cold, wet day here so I think I'll make a pot of stew. DH got 3 deer during bow season so I have a full freezer. So venison stew it is.
    Allie- since we so close to each other, we should meet for coffee sometime soon.
    Terry- you might try soaking your feet in a tub of very warm water with a few drops of lavender oil. DH does that from time to time. He's on his feet all day and has pain often in his heels.
    Janetr- love your egg designs. Very pretty.
    Have a great day everyone.

    Lanette- Sorry to hear about DH's knee pain. Having an arthritic condition myself, I thought I'd share what I use since it has brought me much relief.Glucosamine sulfate 1000mg., Turmeric 800mg., and omega 3 fish oil 3600mg.(3 1200mg. capsules daily) If he uses these daily, he will probably notice results in about a week. This has really helped me.

    Becky - thank you for those suggestions! I am a fan of vitamins and natural substances for pain and inflammation relief.

    DH, on the other hand, has Rheumatoid Arthritis which actually is under control most times. He's had it for over 20 years and is on prednisone. When his knee flared up, I suggested the old rest, ice, compression (light Ace bandage). He said no way to anything other than putting a small pillow under his knee when he naps on the sofa.

    He did rub some CBD cream on it - but I'm not sure if it helped or not. Other than a vitamin D3, he refuses to take any other supplements, rarely eats green vegetables, his favorite food is hot dogs which is what he prefers for lunch every single day and dinner if he doesn't like what I fix. He says it's something he can digest well. Ho hum, lol.

    I get aggravated sometimes that his eating habits leave a lot to be desired, but overall admire his pain tolerance and stubborn spirit as he soldiers on. Former Marine and all that I think.

    - good luck on the house hunt! Can't wait to see what you find!

    Rye and Karen in VA
    - thanks for sharing about your moms. While the end of my mom's life (dementia) wasn't what we kids would have wished for her, she was pleasant and gracious with her caregivers. I still ponder how her personality would change when my dad was around - he wasn't abusive, just very controlling.

    On that note, time to take the puppy out so she can get covered with snowballs! Make it a great day, ladies!

    Karen in VA. I can't take credit for the name of the store. This is the name the store has operated under for a few years. The closed at the end of 2017 to remodel and to set up for individual crafter areas to be rented out. Keeping my fingers crossed that all works out.

    Janet, I have ten or eleven extra of these little clear plastic things that this baseball is sitting on. They came in a set, and I only needed one. I’ll be glad to mail them to you if you think it is something you would use. Just PM me your address. If it’s not what you’re looking for, then no worries..

    Carol in GA - you are such a sweet heart. Right now I'm sitting here waiting for my girls to respond to an email I sent to them with pictures of three eggs asking which one I should try next. I cannot decide which one to try. lol

    Thank you so much.
