Heather- how grand.. it looks like you and Johnny had a wonderful time and I just love armchair traveling with you..
I have started watching YouTube video's of Cruising with Ben and David.. they are 2 chaps from England that travel on cruises and video there cruises. They are fun to watch.. you might enjoy.. look them up
I think im fighting the Flu off keep getting a chill and then it goes away..
So maybe will hop in the shower and get some warm jammies on..
Tracy is trying to get Miles to sleep through the night on his own.. any of you have any miracle cures on this? He goes down well but then he wakes up and wants mommy with him.. I told her ,he is playing her so she will stay with him
And I think if he screams and crys to much that will upset the apple cart and we know where and who that is.

Pens?
I use alcohol pens and gel pens. But that means that the colouring books need to be on one page, not both sides of the page because they bleed through. I also use 2 or 3 blank pieces of paper under each page because there can be a lot of bleeding through.
This one is all gel pens:
This one is a combination of alcohol and gel pens:

Stunning pics Heather.
Just finished the 2nd poly coat. Very pleased with how it turned out. Will post a pic once the last coat goes on tomorrow. Some of the boards in the heavier traffic areas still look a bit worn but I like it. They are nicely sanded and I think the grains of the beautiful oak show up so well. Glad I didn’t stain it as I like the look with the clear finish.

Went to Aldi now making a pumpkin pie to take with me tomorrow. Like I said, I really think she invited me because she really doesn’t have family around here. I think she’s invited people from where she works now. I met her at BK. She’s a very sweet person. I don’t think she’s very happy in her job. When I asked her about it, she really didn’t want to talk about it. But I think she does like the money. Well….. I’m not planning to stay very long. She wants me to come at 4, I’m thinking I’ll only be there until 5 or 5:30. I’ll use the fact that I need to give Vince his dinner, which is true
Lanette – one of the things that I kind-of miss is not being able to rake leaves. We don’t have any trees. Yet, it’s amazing how many leaves get into the pool
What is going on with MFP? I keep getting a “400 Bad Request”. I don’t get that message on my tablet
Walked to take the bowling ball and bag to my neighbor. She has a sign (I didn’t know this) in front of her house to call or text. Well, I don’t have her number so I just left the ball in the front. She’ll find it. Then took my walk around the block
Had Newcomer bowling. See, last year one gal was able to send out an email asking for gift cards for Make A Wish. Newcomers won’t let her do that this year because the kids aren’t in the area Newcomers supports. So I think we’re just going to get a gift certificate anyway.
Heather – those pictures are enough to take my breath away.
Allie – so sorry about Tom’s car. The water pump going, now that really stinks. Couldn’t Tracey pick up a cake for Kyle? At least that would save her having to do one thing.

Jake's daughter is coming for a visit for a few days. Her plan is to fly to Seattle today, stay in motel by the airport and rent a car to drive to our house (about two hours) in the morning. She and Jake have a great relationship so this should be fun for them. The challenge for me is to have food to eat. I can double the recipes I make for the two of us to have plenty for three and Jake is looking forward to having an excuse to go out to eat a few times. It should be interesting. I will remember to find every opportunity to keep my mouth shut. We'll be staying up until we hear from her that she arrived safely. She won't be staying with us so we'll all have our privacy.

Betsy-glad the initial news looks good. Glad you were able to see the family. Some of the "firsts" are hard but worth it.
Lisa. I thought I had seen the hairdressers name spelling before https://www.thebump.com/b/jaunita-baby-name#
Kim-we were in our living room in our apartment in Ohio getting ready to watch the World Series game from Oakland and saw the stadium sway-we were absolutely glued to the screen.
Heather-love the pictures. It seems like you had a terrific holiday.
Allie-every family has issues-none are perfect. You can't waive a wand and fix things, you can just love them and accept them.
Barbie-glad step daughter is coming for visit. Her staying separately can be best for all.
Just another day. Got hair cut. Put out a couple of fires. Tried to light some fires under others who need it.
Off to get my sleep. Take care all,

@auntiebk thank you for the welcome! I have wondered if anyone read my post...and I cannot really figure out how to comment on someone else's post yet **shrug**1

Miss ideila welcome sorry I didn’t say it sooner so you just comment on a post just like I did by putting the persons name and saying whatever you want to say. Some of us often open up a word document next to this forum and then we can read somebody’s post and put comments in the word document and then copy and paste the word document into Mfp others just make comments as they go along. Everybody does what works for them and it’s just fine. We are very fast moving forum and sometimes a post will get lost as we skim our way through and we forget to comment so don’t feel left out if we’re slow welcome!

I have read through but didn’t take notes.
My cousin’s son has a broken pelvis, a broken arm in one place and dislocated in two others.
One of their friends has a broken hip as well, but the four children and one other adult were all banged and bruised but otherwise ok.
They were driving in a farmers field and there was a large dip in the middle that they didn’t see in time to stop. My cousins son had the side by side land on him. He wasn’t buckled.
The accident happened Sunday evening in their town a couple hours from me. He was transferred from that local hospital to one in another small town before arriving at one of our city hospitals, around 4 Monday morning.
He was then in emerg until 230 am Tuesday waiting for a transfer to the hospital that could treat his injuries.
He was told Tuesday at 4 in the afternoon after being told his surgery would be at noon he was told his surgery was cancelled and would happen this morning.
They finally allowed hkm to eat for the first time since Sunday at about 8pm Tuesday night. He was not allowed to eat past midnight because he was scheduled for surgery this morning.
This morning they cancelled his surgery until Friday.
This poor man has been in agony all these days, and yet has been positive and pleasant to the staff.
I have been going back and forth to the hospital with my cousin and she is staying her with me.
I’ll catch up again soon.

Getting bits and pieces done lately.
Got passport photos today. Blech. I'm sure they are meant to look like I've been travelling for weeks. Fortunately the bumpy feature of the rash has eased on my cheekbones. I'm half smooth across my cheekbones now. Unfortunately, I'm more bumpy closer to and across my nose. But I used lots of makeup.
And fortunately my neck and chest don't show much. The rash is still quite obvious there.
Got a cassette to digital converter which I'm experimenting with now. It arrived earlier today.
I've been catching up on emails and photos and odd banking issues.
All kinds of little stuff.
Looking forward to some decent weather so we can get back on our bicycles.
But went to an excellent Indian restaurant tonight. Nice to do on another rainy, wet evening.

Kim - I well remember the TV pictures of your earthquake. It made quite an impression on me.
Tracey - What an awful accident. So sorry they haven't got the surgery done, but I guess a pelvis is a bit complicated and crucial. Need the right surgeon.
I had a bit of diarrhoea before I went to bed last night, and again in the middle of the night and this morning. I haven't gone down to breakfast. DH seems fine and he has eaten all the same things. I feel OK right now and will make myself another cup of tea in a minute. I hope that's the last of it.
My app says we don't have to check out until 11.30 and our train is 12.01, so that's perfect. We get a taxi to the airport at Montpellier and fly from there.
I'm a bit nervous, but will settle, I'm sure.
Love Heather, soon to be back in the UK xxxxxxxx6 -
@Miss_Idelia Welcome to the group. It’s a busy group, but people do read the posts, and comment when they have more time.I have wondered if anyone read my post...and I cannot really figure out how to comment on someone else's post yet **shrug**
Machka: We are also in a wet rainy period which is forecast to last several days.
Heather: Boo! to being unwell, and safe travels.
Tracey: 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for a speedy recovery for your cousin’s son.
Planning to make a batch of crab apple jelly this morning, and boil a gammon for our salad for dinner tonight. Also going through my winter clothes so that I can swap for summer clothes in my wardrobe. I intended to do this a couple of weeks ago, but we had a late spate of settled warmish weather.
🤗🤗🤗 and 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 to all.

Miss Idelia- Hey there! I saw your post, didn't have time to comment; then was happy to see you post again! So sorry to hear about your health issues. You and I are in the same business; childcare. I definitely know that feeling that it is getting harder and harder to keep up with the little ones. I remember, 30 years ago, when I started caring for children, I was running with them, chasing them, spinning them, giving horsey rides, etc. Now, I let them do the running and playing and I just supervise. From time to time I am on my hands and knees with them, but no horsey rides. If I am on the floor/ground it is usually to interact with an infant or pick up things. Come visit as often as you can. Even if it just to read and follow everyone's day to day. In doing that, you will see how many of us are facing the same or similar challenges and it is always interesting to see how others handle life's challenges.
Heather- Your trip looks like it was just wonderful and relaxing! Johnny's daughter sure looks like him. (Happy birthday, to him, by the way). I bet Bea's sweet face and song was a great surprise. Such a sweetie!
Kim- I remember watching the rescues and responses to the earthquake on tv. I was pregnant for my daughter and it seems the tv was on constantly for a few days. I remember specifically watching the overpass rescues on the tv at work (i worked in a restaurant). So heartbreaking! But I agree it is so inspiring to see what humans can do to help each other in times of great need.
Lisa- I love reading about your mornings and seeing the picks of Egg on your lap. I always thought she was a gray kitty. In your most recent pic, she looks like a Tortie?
Tracey So sorry to hear of the accident with your family! How scary! Sending healing thoughts/prayers/vibes to your family.
Allie- Family drama is so hard! I think the best thing to keep in mind is that everyone reacts to things the only way they know how/the only way their brain can. Because we have all been raised differently (even in the same family; kids can be raised differently depending on what their parents have been through). As Carmine ages and matures, they will begin to understand and see their parent's point of view. It is hard stuff to deal with in the moment though. Hugs my friend.
Walk Score- Grand Haven, Mi (my town) has a walking score of 89. We have a cycling score of 76. I suppose you could walk to get all of your errands done if you live within the city limits. We have nice walkways, bike paths, trails, parks, etc. I live about three miles outside of the city limits (in the township) and we even have nice bike paths out here. They are maintained by a whole cleaning crew/machines, year round.
Kids about to arrive. Only six today. Yea! It is like a mini vacation. ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)

Annie ~ I did look up using Cascade to wash clothes and Google said doing that can mess up your washing machine!
Heather ~ Love, Love, Love all the photos of your trip. Jake's daughter looks just like him!
Going to get an echocardiogram this morning. I was supposed to get the chemical stress test but forgot and drank a diet coke at lunchtime so cancelled it. Rescheduled for Nov.
