Barb, I found this make ahead mashed potatoes restaurant trick for you:

Wow, Hing is getting close to her due date! Her mother Amy in Hong Kong is still a ways from us. I just checked for flight time from Brisbane and it is 8 hours and 40 minutes. Lol! The world is a big place.
Linda, yes, it is starting to save me money to groom my dogs myself now. It used to cost me $70 - $80 per dog before. It cost me about $1000 to get all the equipment I needed to groom them at home and on the road. I bought all that around October last year so now I have groomed them many times, the equipment has been paid for. They need me to finish detailing them today. We washed, dried and clipped their bodies yesterday so I need to do their heads, feet, tails and tummies today. They get fed up with having constant unwanted attention so we gave them a break till today.
Judith I am so sorry your medical appointments were again so hard this week. Thinking of you and praying for healing and strength. The Lord be with you, always. I'm praying about the storms too.

Susan, love love the Cards you and your class made, so Pretty! How did your Dog Grooming go, were you able to get both Archie and Jasper all groomed. I am sure they look so good as they are Handsome young Boys!
Barb, our weather has been very stormy and rainy but wind is not as strong as last storm. I had my appointment on Thursday, Surgeon removed diseased tissue and I return in 2 weeks. He will remove the tissue each visit until I see specialist to find out about Laser surgery. It’s on January 22nd that’s January 2025! Tonight’s temps go down to 39 degrees, storm is worst on island but we are told to keep watch on mainland.
Linda, glad you enjoyed your visit with your friend and the food she made for you. As you see above my comment about appointment and storm. I keep moving forward and hope when I see Specialist in January I am approved for laser surgery! Thanks for your prayers and of course I am praying for you for your recovery. Trust you are doing better and your mobility is stronger.
Oops look above: came back to finish post, left at word hope…
Update on Storm:
Thank you all for your prayers, I am safe. A lot of rain but so far we don’t have the strong winds 💨 we have wind 🌬 but it’s not Strong Heavy Wind 💨
They say overnight the island could be dealing with severe storm. We are told we could have it as severe here on the Mainland but one thing they said is to watch the reports so we can all stay safe. Our overnight temps are 39 degrees. I will keep you posted. 😇
Will say Good Night & God Bless 😴🙏0 -
Today our grandchildren, Victor (12) and Etta (10) came over to stay while their mother was at work. We made hat decorations from toilet paper rolls and yarn. I am making them for my Bible study group and the grandkids had plans to give some to their friends. Here is a picture of what some of them looked like.
They also helped Glenn rake up the leaves in the front of the house. Finally the trees are almost done dropping leaves. They seem to be slow some years and there are still leaves on the trees when spring comes and new buds are here. Glenn is taking them out for ice cream as a payment for them working so hard. It is the same place we went to earlier in the week where you pay by the ounce and get lots of toppings.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Glad you are safe, Judith. I'm praying for all in the path of the storms. Sounds like you had another tiring and challenging appointment. Praying you'll get what you need. The Lord knows what it is. 🙏
I did finish grooming the dogs yesterday. There was a whole bag of fur at the end. The picture I posted yesterday showed them with shorn bodies. Here they are with their faces, tails, tummies snd feet done.
They are good boys!
We have church this morning as it is Sunday here so I better get moving. Your Sundays are coming up snd I hope you all have a blessed day.

I had a sunny day but warmer day & warmer tomorrow. Monday it will get colder & Thursday be in the 30,s
Today we set up, our humidifier as I can get bloody noses on one side due to dryness. Then Evan 2, has eczema so having the humidifier should help.
No damage to my sister & niece in BC Canada. Thank you for asking.
Our church has pancakes for breakfast on Thanksgiving so we may try to go to that. I may leave peeled potatoes in water in the sink so I just cut & cook then I’ll put in crockpot to keep warm. Such a great idea.
Tuesday I will make a salad, cranberry with pineapple in jello & Wednesday clean house.
I raked today & Harry mowed some our back has a lot of leaves, so I raked some but my right hip hurts. So glad Tuesday I get my Prolia shot for osteoporosis. They come again to vacuum leaves 12/16-12/21. I’m sure we will have more leaves for them to, vacuum up.
Judith prayers for you with all you do & all that is going on with you. God knows. He is the healer. Praying.
Stay warm if cold & having another storm.
Susan. Trust all well with you. You are already in Sunday so trust your service was good.
Hope all have a general good night & are blessed with God’s word.
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Prayers for all.1 -
Susan, the Boys, Archie and Jasper are so sweet, love their dear faces, they look so handsome with their Shorn bodies free from all the excess fur. Enjoy your Sunday, Blessings as you attend Church sitting under God’s Word!
Linda, I love the hats your Grandchildren Victor and Etta made with you. That is so nice you are making hats out of yarn and toilet paper rolls for your Bible Study group, it’s amazing what one can make with just two items. So nice they helped Glen take the leaves, it’s hard work, so nice they are going for ice-cream as a reward for their help. Thanks for your prayers. I hear you about all the leaves, we have so much here too, with the rain and winds I have a yard full of many red leaves.
Barb, I join you with your raking up of the leaves you are doing. Nice you have the pick up of your leaves. The yard is a mess, if my daughter and family come tomorrow they might be able to clean up the yard a little. It’s good you have a humidifier, hopefully it helps Evan and you, you mentioned bloody nose due to dryness, since my last surgery I get a nose bleed on the one side, my Surgeon said it’s from dryness. He suggested putting Vaseline in the nostril. It does help some. The salad you are making with cranberry, pineapple and jello sounds like what my Mother made, she also made it in a jello mould and would put it out on a plate of lettuce leaves for presentation. I have that jello mould that I kept after Mom passed. I like the idea of Pancake breakfast at your church on Thanksgiving. Hope you enjoy!
I’m so thankful in spite of the storm there is no damage, it’s rainy so everything outside is slushy in water and leaves everywhere. A little muddy too but Hallelujah no damage or floods in my area. So glad your sister is safe Barb and no damage either.
Have a Blessed Sunday: enjoy your Sunday Church ⛪️ Services! God’s Blessings to everyone. 📖✝️🙏
P.S. I left a detailed report on the Storm that rolled in today in my area on the Prayer Request Thread.0
