Monday: Early start w/labs and ultrasound. Dr. appt. @ 11:1 5
Did get to meet my friend from my days as a student nurse! Nice.
HUGS and terrific Tuesday.
Susan: Hope you feel better. Archie is a sweetie!
Joyce: You will be missed! Blessings. We have to do what is best for ourselves, though.
Healthy: Sorry your DH is still struggling w/respiratory issues from Covid. *SIGH* It is just nasty.
Sounds like the estate sale was a success for you finding treasures!
Judith: Hope you’re having less pain. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
AND thank you for all the hard work you put into this group.

Happy Thanksgiving Day to you all too. I think having a "thanksgiving" day more often than just once a year is necessary. In spite of negative things happening, it is important to also see the positive things that happen. Our dogs got in a fight today and one was injured and is limping. My granddaughter is very concerned but we tried to find positive things about the situation - the injury is not life threating, the dog is able to walk some, the call to the vet said if she is better tomorrow, we do not need to bring her in, and it is now very calm in the house. I think the puppy was more scared than hurt and maybe our older dog was just trying to assert her dominance with the puppy who by the way is a very large puppy weighing 40# and who jumps on me and almost knocks me down. She is not a fragile little puppy!0

Tuesday: Getting ready to head back home. Successful trip thank goodness. Jas doesn’t have to have a check on the thyroid till next year, now. PHEW.
Have a terrific Tuesday.
HUGS
Healthy: Glad that the puppy is doing better. Hard when dogs have to assert who's 'leader of the pack'.

Awesome, I am rejoicing with you that Jas has received a Good Report; thanks for sharing the Good News regarding his thyroid, have a safe trip back home, so happy puppy is doing better…🤗😇🙏

The puppy is back to herself jumping on everyone and trying to play. My daughter thought she might have to take her to the vet because she was having problems sitting down and favoring her leg last night before bed but today she is doing great. We are happy we did not have a vet bill to pay for them to say she was OK!
My daughter-in-law cleaned out her closet and gave me quite a few blouses and 2 pairs of pants. It is the size that I am in now so I feel really good with clothes that fit me. It is hard to go on a walk when your pants are falling down because they are too loose and I forgot to pack a belt. 😊
I am so grateful Jas had a good report and you do not need to travel back there for another year. I hope you were able to have some fun times on the trip and not just business.
My husband picked all our tomatoes today since it is supposed to freeze tomorrow. I am not sure what to do with all the green tomatoes. I do have a good green tomato relish recipe I can use some for butI will not use all of them for that. It lasts a long time. Actually we still have some relish in the freezer from last year. We will need to pick the apples tomorrow. I will be busy getting them ready to freeze then. I also have my third leg treatment so it will be a busy day.

Happy Thanksgiving, Judith. I hope you had a lovely day of celebrating with family and friends. Happy Thanksgiving to any other Canadians on the team.
It is hard to say goodbye to friends who have been on our forum for a long time. I will miss Joyce also. If she needed to cut down, though, I am happy for her to find a balance in her life.
I still have a cough but am getting slightly better each day. Thank you all for your good wishes and prayers.
Healthy, I sure hope your husband starts to feel better soon. Those I know who have had Covid have taken a long time to recover. It seems to be like a bad flu that just lingers on. And you are right about estate sales showing you how are things are not as important as we think they are. It's a timely reminder to try to simplify my life. Otherwise, our children are going to have to deal with it all. We did downsize when we moved in May, but I still have a tremendous amount of stuff.
Judith I hope you are feeling alright today. Thinking of you.
Praying for you all.1 -
Wednesday: Wow! Fast, fast week. We arrived home yesterday afternoon and I am tired! Did most of the driving. It rained/drizzled/stormed, road construction and detours. BUT we made it safely. Thank goodness.
So happy for Jason’s good news that things are all well. We don’t have to return for a year.
HURRAY!
Today . . . . catch up on laundry, etc.
HUGS
Healthy: Glad puppy is herself again.
Oh goodness, so wonderful you got clothes in your size now.
You can put green tomatoes in a paper bag and they’ll ripen. Have to keep an eye on them.
Susan: Glad you’re getting better.

Working on getting apples ready to freeze today. It was 33 degrees last night so no frost but it is coming tonight. There is snow in the mountains but we have not gotten any at our house yet. The weather will warm up again by the end of the week.
Had my leg laser procedure this morning and am a little sore. I did take some Tylenol and laid down so I feel better now. I will be glad when this is over! It is too early to see if it is effective but I am so glad I can not see the bulging veins anymore on my thigh.
The dogs are best friend again. We thought the younger dog would be afraid of the older one after being aggressively treated but she seems to have forgotten it all. Of course, us humans are still remembering the scary time.2 -

Just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your friendship and support..
And wanted to wish you a great evening and Thursday ahead 🌌🤗1 -
It's rainy here too. We had a thunderstorm overnight as well.
Today we brought our plants home. Friends had been looking after them since May as we moved and travelled. It's nice to have the plants back. It makes a difference to how the yard and house looks and feels.

Thursday Blessings, sounds so nice Susan, I love plants, and been enjoying all my flowers and plants I received for my birthday...
We are under a weather advisory alert starting Friday thru to Sunday with rainfall totals ranging from 75 to 150 mm over 2 days.

Thursday: Have to make a grocery run. Tha’s the ‘big outing’ for today. We’re sill just a little tired, but it’s a good tired.
Rained yesterday. Hope that today we see a little sunshine!
Caught up now with laundry and other things, so that feels good!
Hard to believe it is AGAIN Friday EVE. Lord.
HUGS
Healthy: Wow! 33 for you. Haven’t reached the 30’s yet, but it will be 40 tonight. Good luck with getting your apples ready to freeze.
Glad that you were able to control your discomfort from your laser treatment w/Tylenol and a bit of rest.
Awwww glad the fur babies are getting along again.
Judith: Good afternoon.
Stay safe in the storms!
Susan: Glad you got your plants back!

It got down to 31 last night but the apples seem to be OK. The tomato plants look a bit wilted. The waether is supposed to warm up now to 71 on Sunday so I am glad we left some apples on the tree to ripen some more.
Susan - I am glad you got your plants back. How is Colin doing? I am thinking especially his eye.
Barb - I'm glad you are "caught up" on things. It seems my "to' do" list just keeps getting longer and longer.0 -
Friday: Well, we have gotten to FriYaY! Fabulous!
Jason has hand PT this afternoon. That’s our outing for today.
HOPE it’s a wonderful Friday for all.
HUGS
Healthy: Oh my . . . from 31 to 71. Quite the temperature spread!
Yes, the to do list does expand!

Thanks for sharing everyone! Some great news. Hope Jason’s PT goes well. So glad you got the plants back Susan and I too trust Colin’s eyes are doing well. Also trusting your laser treatment went well Linda.
Wow temps ranging from the 30’s to 70’s you all are having, quite a range 😳 hope you all have a great day and stay safe!
We are still under a Weather Advisory Alert: trusting the “*kitten*” hold back the flash rushing waters keeping us safe who live in the low lying areas. Thanks for your prayers for safety! 🙏

Saturday: Breakfast @ the diner! Hurray!
Cool and rainy. Autumn is here.
Hugs and enjoy
Judith: Yes the PT is slowly but surely helping bit by bit.
Definitely prayers for safety with your weather.

Judith - what is the "kitten" that will hold back the floods? I have not heard that term. It is a beatiful day in the 60's and we have lots planned for the day. It started out with a good visit over zoom with some friends we have known since our kids were little and now they are in ther 40's. We have shopping and going to the gym later today. I also need to make an audit of the missing items from admission files from the school and send out reminders. This is not one of my favorite things to do but needs to be done to get the files complete. You would think college students would not need reminders but unfortunately they forget0

Hi everyone. I hope you are all safe and staying well.
The plants are doing well in our nice weather before summer kicks in hard. I am really enjoying having them.
Judith and Linda, thank you for asking about Colin's eyes. His bad eye has healed as much as it can so he got new glasses this week. The healthy eye is staying healthy so far.
Blessings to you all this Lord's Day.

Sunday: Blessings on this Sunday.
Cool weather, but it’s Fall. Crisp. Loving it.
Made a trip to Walmart. Lots of empty shelves. **SIGH** But did get sink mats and slippers that I needed.
Will take Miss Lilly to the park so she can burn off some energies.
Have a good day!
Healthy: Had a beauty of a day yesterday and it’s a repeat again today!
Isn’t it just mystifying how our friends’ kids can be in our 40’s and . . . we are, too! LOLOL Wish it worked that way, right!
Oh college kids have lots on their minds, and not necessarily having school as a top priority in their thoughts. Good luck!
Susan: Glad your plants are enjoying the warmth.
Glad that Colin’s bad eye is healed as much as it can. Hope the new glasses help. AND good news that the good eye is staying healthy.

We had an encouraging in person church service today. We also had a meeting about diversity after the church. We were able to have an informative discussion with our members who had faced discrimination because of their race or disabilities. It was so sad to see how they were treated and how hurt they were. I grew up in an all white farm community and did not even realize what people of color went through as they were growing up.0
-
I too have been saddened with discrimination. My family raised all their children including me to accept all cultures, it didn't matter what color of skin one had. I had friend's from all cultures. As a teen because I was raised in a home that was loving towards all I was never exposed to discrimination until I got a big shock of my life when I went to live in the Southern part of the United States for a year. I grew up visiting Aunts and Uncles all thru my childhood and early teens visiting family in Buffalo New York Toledo Ohio and in Florida and never saw that kind of treatment, I now know my family protected me from seeing that kind of treatment. I had family who were born in Canada who as young adults moved to the USA for University, Work who held dual citizenship papers of both countries and lived, worked and married in many parts of the United States. At age 16 I went to live in Florida and Louisiana. It was there that I saw much discrimination, so sad, I never knew that people could be so hateful and hurt people just because of their skin color! So sad 🙁
Linda, you asked about the word "kitten" in relation to the floods we were anticipating. I was having issues with my iPhone inserting words that had no relation to the subject.....
Hope you all have a great week ahead.. 😊

Healthy, yes, discrimination is real and horrible. It's unbelievable what some people go through. 😕
1crazydog today the plants got a good downpour! Thank you for prayyfor Colin's eye. He likes his new glasses bit has to accept vision loss in one eye. He can see some with it though.

Judith - I also have had problems with my computer inserting words I did not say or in the wrong area. Today I was writing a recipe and not looking at the screen because I was looking at the recipe. When I finished, I discovered that several sentences that were supposed to be at the bottom of the recipe was inserted in the middle of it. It is a good thing that I read it before I saved it. I only had to cut and paste to correct it but it was strange.
Another beautiful day today. The tree in our backyard I told some of you on Spark several months ago that was dying, is now growing well and has kept it's leaves on. Last year it lost all of it's leaves by the end of September. It is such a nice shade tree I am so glad the medicine and trimming that they did has helped. It had some kind of beetle that was killing the branches gradually.
It is always good to hear from all of you and share your adventures.1 -
Monday: Jason has a 3 hr. Zoom meeting today then PT so he’ll be a busy boy!
Cool continues, b ut sunshine. Beautiful!
Wrapping up outside work.
Have a good Monday.
HUGS
Barb
Healthy: I grew up in a diverse community, but still have lots to learn about how to support those w/racial or ability differences. Glad you had a good discussion about it in your church community.

Susan, so happy Colin enjoys his new glasses, and is doing well in spite of some loss of vision, I rejoice with you both that he has some sight in that eye and his good eye remains good, Praise God!
Linda, so glad you caught the problem with your recipe and didn't have to type out the whole recipe again. I remember you telling us about the tree, so happy it is now doing so well, great news...👍
Barb, yes I agree with you, sounds like Jason was busy with having a 3 hour session with PT via Zoom, great he can have these sessions using Zoom... 😊 I join you in wrapping up the outside work, my friend took down hanging baskets as with all the rain were too heavy to take down, now this week I will do a little each day, weather permitting and next weekend my daughter will put outdoor furniture away for the winter....
Have a great evening, see you all tomorrow....Blessings my friend's...Keep up the Great Work! 👏👍0 -
Tuesday: Survived yesterday’s busy-ness. PHEW.
Today . . . just house chores. That’s fine by me!
The weather has been gorgeous. And it’s supposed to be a repeat today. I’ll take it.
Here’s to a terrific Tuesday!
Hugs
Judith: So nice you had your friend to help w/the hanging baskets. HOPE you're feeling better each day. Prayers and hugs

We are back doing apples today. Our daughter said she was coming over and I warned her that if she comes she may be put to work helping us.
We are leaving Thursday to go to a marriage retreat that goes through the week-end. Tomorrow and Friday are pre-meetings and the actual retreat starts Saturday morning. I will be having my last major leg procedure tomorrow so I hope going to the retreat is not going to hurt anything. I am not supposed to sit for more than 1 hour and the venue is 3 hours away so we will need to stop every hour so I an walk to prevent clots and to keep the circulation going. It is in the mountains so it should be beautiful scenery. Some of the ski runs are already open with the early snow that we had.
Praying for a good appointment Judith!0 -
Thank you Barb, so happy to have my friends and daughter help with outdoor work, I do a little but not as much as I once could do....happy you had nice weather...
Linda, will be praying for your last leg procedure that it will be successful and for your safety while driving to the retreat, have a wonderful time there, enjoy the scenery.. Thank you for your prayers, will keep you posted and let you know how tomorrow goes!
God Bless your evening and rest of your week everyone... 😊❤️🤗0 -
Praying for you all. Thank you for praying for Colin and I. I am still not well but Dr is helping do maybe I will turn a good corner soon (it's asthma and bronchitis).
Virtual hugs and real prayers for you all.1 -
Wednesday: 3rd day of beautiful weather, but . . . not going to last. So, will enjoy it today.
Wow, it is astounding how quickly this week is passing. But have to make the best of each day.
Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday.
Hugs
Healthy: Good luck w/the apples! Sounds like a lot of work! Hope your leg appointment goes well. Take good care!
Wishing you well on your retreat and have a good weekend there.
Judith: Hope it’s a good Wednesday for you! HUGS and prayers.
