    Carla, sad your family will lose the house on the lake. How long had it been in your family?

    SIXTY PLUS years auntiebk!!! (I won't say exactly...lol)
    Mom and Dad bought the property the year before I was born. It was a shack-of-a-cabin then and they built it up. We went their every weekend during the spring, summer, fall and sometimes even in the winter, although their was no heat, but the wood fireplace! (and no running water... EVER) Then, when they decided to retire, they built their dream home there. Just KILLS me to lose it, all us kids are pretty much "settled" and none of the grands can afford it. :'(

    Barbie – Thanks for your kind words. Today things are going very well. We had a good day with our adult kids and our grandsons. We’re getting ready to fly back to PDX in the next few days.

    Flea – I hope you have a good experience and an enjoyable trip.

    Rebecca – Athena sounds like a grand little girl.

    Tracey - What fun to have your daughter and granddaughter to help you decorate for Christmas. I love the photos. :star:


    We went to Colonial Williamsburg today with our son, daughter-in-law and children. We had a grand day with one another. There were shops and demonstrations, plenty to look at in shops and toys for a little boy. We’ll be leaving for home in a few days.

    I went to Colonial Williamsburg many years ago. Hubby #1 was going to school back there(Coast Guard) and I flew back for a week to be with him. That is one of the places we went. Also went to Washington DC- Guess I shouldn't have gone out there- he spent too much time with me and ended up not passing the class and got sent home a week after I was there(but we had an amazing time)
    I still have one of the hand blown glass vase/pitcher that I got there. That was way back in '84

    The story is written and is just waiting for me to finish illustrating it. I'll be selecting a few photos from the massive collection I've got here:

    And I'm not finished processing photos yet ... there will be more. :)

    Julie - What an awful time you have had. I really hope this week will be better. <3
    Can you tell me what the French call a 'cleaner'. Nettoyeur(euse) doesn't sound right to me. Is it domestique?

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Kelly ... I would be mad at my husband too, but your son wasn't thinking either ... Praying your exposure doesn't result in illness.

    Tracey and Machka ... love the photos!

    Julie ...hope this will be a better week for you ...

    Vicki ... I still send Christmas cards too. For years I wrote a "Christmas Letter" but haven't in quite a while. Might do one this year since I have time on my hands.

    Our "Puppy" .. the one that broke my leg ... is out of control. He's not mean, but he is definitely turning into a very strong bully. My guys are so afraid of him barreling into me again that he is barricaded from most of the house. He's using his teeth again to play and those nips are getting too strong. Can't manage him on a leash ... he just plays tug of war with it. I've asked a local trainer to come to the house and she is making an exception so we can get him to the point where we take him to her facility. He's about 100 pounds now of sheer strength. I can't manage him. My husband's back is protesting. And my son is working all day. So hoping this will be a good thing, otherwise I'm not sure we can keep him.

    Beth - My son and DDIL had to let their excitable dog go to another home where they had the time and energy to train him. Both the dog, and they, are much happier. <3 A pet isn't always a good 'fit' for a family.

    Kelly they were plain inconsiderate and I would be upset too. It was like when roofer came and said by the way my girlfriend has COVID. I had to quar for two weeks when that happen. I now wear a mask again everywhere, avoid crowds, and keep my distance when I can.

    Beth hard choices. Even though Drew is small only 14 pounds I have to watch her around DH who is unsteady on his feet. She is like a cat and will get under your feet is not careful. Another reason I go over to son's house a couple hours a day.

    We have had a wonderful time visiting our son and his family here in Virginia. Yesterday we had a day in Colonial Williamsburg. We had good weather and enjoyed the town. Tomorrow we will be flying back home to Oregon. <3

    I have missed this group. I have had trouble connecting with MFP and my friends here in Women 50+. I hope that I'll be able to post more often and to connect with friends in this group. :star:

    DGS is headed back home tomorrow. I was glad to have family here but I will be happy to get back to my routine. My schedule has been all katywampus. I will get back to the YM tomorrow afternoon and try to get the paperwork together for my mom's IRA and finding out who the beneficiary is. At 97 she nearly outlived it but there is still some money there.

    I will get up at 4:30 tomorrow morning to say goodby to my DGS but then probably go back to bed for a while.

    Katla - have a safe trip home.

    Everyone take care, Sue in WA

    November: leaner/stronger/kinder than October.
    Accountability:
    Chose well: massage, Part D research and enrolled with Joe’s new rx info, researched mine, will keep current plan.
    Bonus: Post Office, BiMart, oil change, called GB drug store to transfer Joe’s rxes,
    Just one thing:
    29: Enjoy new music today. Play, sing, dance or listen. Listen to Sarah Gorrell’s Sussex show on BBC Radio while reconciling Part B invoices and EOBs. Maybe tomorrow after DDS :sick:
    30: Look for new reasons to be hopeful, even in tough times. Attitude of gratitude for what I CAN do.

    Note to self. Get the long hours of computer time research done BEFORE any scheduled massage. After wasted it. :grumpy:

    Machka who knew momma and baby wombats could be so cute?
    Barbie Dad was right!
    Pip what a spread! Great smiles.
    Heather, woo HOO!
    Lisa, right back atcha girlfriend!
    Carla :cry:
    Vicki amen sister, amen.
    Miss Kellie I’d be mad too, and not just at your DH, but and your OS. Endangering your health, your livelihood and your husband. Pfaugh.
    Beth ((hugs))

    Not looking forward to the DDS tomorrow. Am looking forward to December’s fresh start as activity resolutions went down the drain the last week or two.

    Lighter, lovelies!

    Kelly - Your anger is justifiable, dear heart. Here's hoping you don't come down with the #RoRo, but unfortunately, if you don't, that reinforces their actions - "See, nothing happened!" Teeth grinding territory, that is.

    Beth - I'm sorry about your dad. My daughter also placed her massive German shepherd a couple months ago with people who had kids, time, and space. The working breeds like Labradors, shepherds, setters, spaniels, and retrievers are so smart, but they need a job to do or they can get very bored and destructive, unfortunately.

    Vicki - I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend.

    Katla - Safe travels!

    Julie - Hope things are going better for you now... You were missed.

    More later,
    Love y'all!

    I forget if I told you all that we are scheduled to go to Fiji next Sunday for a week--5 days in country. We are holding our breaths. We scheduled this trip before Covid, and we have had to push it three or four times. Fiji is supposed to open up December 1, but with this new variant on the rise, we shall see. They could still shut it down. I don't think the airlines will let us push it again. We really do not want a refund because we got incredible deals on the airfare. I was initially thinking I wouldn't be able to do anything, but I am beginning to feel like I may be able to do some kayaking and light hiking. No ocean swimming, of course. We need this break after the last six months that we have had, and to prepare for whatever is to come.

    Advice about Fiji, from Australia's perspective ...

    https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/destinations/pacific/fiji

    Scroll through the Overview, Safety, Health, etc.


    I have a work colleague from Fiji and I think the last time she went home was in December last year when things eased up a little here. But then she had 2 weeks of quarantine on the way back.

    M in Oz

    Got it! Covid tests ordered. Travel/health insurance purchased. Arranging approved transportation to the resort. We aren't planning to island hop. We will stay on the island we fly into. There are a couple other things my husband is trying to get arranged, just to be sure that we have everything we need. Thankfully my husband is on the ball, so we weren't expecting to just show up and fly over.

    One other thing ...

    Over here (Australia, New Zealand, parts of Asia), borders close with very little notice. Within Australia, people have been given a few hours notice that they have to get out of a state, or they'll be stuck in that state for weeks or months.

    Fiji has a Level 2: Exercise a high degree of caution warning including ...

    "At level 2, the COVID-19 risk to you may be considered low. Keep in mind outbreaks may occur and local authorities could implement measures to manage this, often at short notice, which will affect your ability to move freely, including in and out of the country.

    Just a caution to make sure you can make a dash for the airport ... or that you can stay longer than planned.

    Today we will pack for our return flight to Oregon. We have had a good visit with our son’s family. We have two heathy grandsons and have had a great time with the boys and our son and daughter-in-ilaw. Our DDIL has done a great job with Christmas decorating and the house is lovely. We’ve had a wonderful time. Now I am ready to fly home. <3

    Hello you guys!
    Sorry i have been off the boards. i know that most or all of you forgive us when we are off boards. I'm unable to read back 18 pages and even less to comment thoughtfully so I'lll read the last two or three and jump back on board where i am. I am impressed by those of you who are able to do a much more sizable catch up!

    I started to catch read some days ago in the evening and then dozed off or something.
    10 days ago, in the bus my phone was disappeared. Then 3 days later the new computer went kaput. I brought it quickly to apple store, very luck to get a quick appointment which is rare. They said return for last Thursday, but NO, many bugs in communication, and they send it for repair Czech Republic now!! on Friday no promise as to return date. What a racket, whereas i paid for the expensive apple care and there is a franchise. Apple service is not what it used to be.

    Then when dropping off my computer last Saturday, in very busy upscale shopping district at midday Saturday, my scooter was stolen. I couldn't believe it!! I checked to see if had been towed maybe 20 times.

    Insurance covers all but it is time consuming.

    How to keep up paperwork administrative tasks-wise? Not sure! The load keeps increasing.

    Went to movie last night (house of gucci), my reviews are mixed like those online. I found the story historically so interesting anyway and of course top notch actors. First time going to movie theatre in a very very very long time.

    Coffee with friend neighbor this morning.
    Invited other neighbors over for "apero" = cocktail, this time soft drinks/herb tea and a few nibbles.

    I need to clean and stash my paper mess or at least part of it.

    So sorry! :open_mouth:

    “This condition is referred to as sensory processing disorder (SPD).
    SPD can be triggered by any stimulus that interferes with the stability of the person's environment. In some cases, the person can be so hypersensitive that they react to sensations others may not even notice.

    Examples include:1
    Sounds, particularly persistent sounds such as lawnmowers, washing machines, ticking clocks, dripping water, or traffic noises
    Sights, including fluorescent lights that flicker or curtains that flutter
    Smells, including heavy or distinct smells such as cleaning supplies, new carpets, perfumes, and foods
    Textures, including eating slippery foods or touching goopy gels”

    I must have this! I have all the symptoms except texture!

    Working with rowdy third grades. Busy busy!
