Hee! No... Don't have a pic that's quite up to the minute, but two walls are up... and a door is on, but Egg is walking right through the other walls. This was just taken while we sat waiting for the grill to heat up for dinner. Lovely and serene and quiet...2 -

Hey all! I am not sure what it is, but I just feel like there are not enough hours in the day, anymore! lol
Me too!! I've just been slammed with things to do all of a sudden!!DH got me some slippers (2 pairs!) for my birthday. They are nice and have a lot of cush in the heel area. I know to some of you it may not sound like a lot; but the fact that my DH is even acknowledging my birthday is remarkable. He is a very pessimistic person and feels birthdays mean you are one year closer to death. He doesn't like the acknowledgment for his. In the mean time, he is married to me. The person who celebrates herself and her age on a daily basis. lol
I am sending lots of love and hugs to all of you! Though I might not mention you here, you are all on my thoughts every day! Welcome new ladies! ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)
Happy Birthday!

He should always say someone else cooked it and take her money and give it to you. Nice little bit of extra money for you!
You are far more patient with the people in your life than I am with the people in mine.

Ginny - Luna is adorable, thanks for posting that photo. Good luck at the podiatrist today. Sounds like you've firmed up where your retirement residence will be.
Michele - you are the energizer bunny doing all of that cooking in one day.
It's been hard for me to get used to calling anyone a "partner" unless it's in the business sense such as investors in legal partnership. That's what I think of first when someone uses the term. And yes, "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" when the couple is older seems awkward. "Significant other" sums it up in a way I can understand. That's what I'd probably say if I had a special guy in my life at this stage. Or maybe just "good buddy." Fascinating how language has evolved in the past 50 years, but then it probably has always been that way. I'm sure our parents and grandparents noticed the same thing.
Heather - gosh that was a beautiful dress, you looked stunning. But I understand, why keep it around. I went through the stage of giving way all my dresses and skirts several years ago. They were cute but no longer fit and just weren't comfortable because I'd have to wear panty hose.
Good riddance. And gals were wearing pants everywhere, even church and weddings. I have some nice dressy tops and call it good.
Now I'm curious about reverse lunges. I looked them up. I'd have to hang on to something because of my dicey feet but I can see how they'd be helpful.
Barbara - a bench overlooking the ocean sounds wonderful. Good for Joe! Like many of our husbands, my DH also begged off going to places with me as he got older. He was perfectly fine staying home and watching TV with the dogs while I went to parties or dinners out with couple friends. The other husbands there probably were jealous and wondered how he pulled it off. Glad to hear you'll be able to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal with your friend.
Rebecca - your sister's place is beautiful. It's good she can handle the equipment to keep it up. I'd probably just blow the leaves off the driveway once they have all fallen and call it good, lol. I still have leaves strewn all over the front yard where I blew them last week. My neighbor 2 doors down was mowing over his leaves for about half an hour yesterday, really mulching them down. It was 45F here with a stiff breeze coming out of the north so with the wind chill, it was probably around 40F. I thought - have at it, buddy. If it gets into the mid-50's again I might take the big mower out and mulch them if the soil isn't too soft, but then maybe not.
Barbie - glad Jake is OK. Yesterday after throwing Rosie's toys down the hallway for the 50th time, I thought I bet there'd be interest if I set up a small greyhound type track with a mechanical rabbit that dogs could chase to wear them out. Maybe $2 a minute, $10 minimum. Plus a little illegal betting on the side to help boost my retirement income, lol. I'd let Annie chase it for free.
Cleaner coming this morning at 9, and hour later than normal. I think she has PT for her plantar fasciitis or something. I'm slightly put out because it throws me off schedule. Then I remind myself I don't have to be anywhere so what's the big deal? And I enjoy her company so much, any time she wants to come by really is perfect.
So will close for now. Make it a good day!

I have chatted to my sister about the commitment she's taken on, living in that 1875 home. Her son put a video camera up by the door so he can be notified of any movement. The other morning she wrote GOOD MORNING on a piece of cardboard and showed it to the camera. 😁 I think it will give her some peace of mind knowing her family is keeping track of her a bit. I talked to her about really listening at what she's capable of doing as she gets older. She's 68 presently. I told her that I realize weeding puts her into a Zen mode, but she weeds until the day is over and she can barely walk the next day. Also does she really want the responsibility of caring for everything, and not traveling or feel like she doesn't have the freedom to do that if she wants to?
Rebecca

She's only 68 ... lots of life left!
Perhaps she really enjoys living in and taking care of the place where she lives. It is gorgeous from the photos you've posted. I can see the attraction.
And they say that being outdoors and gardening is good for the body and the brain.
She's got time to enjoy it for several more years, at least.
M in Oz
Oh yes! Most definitely! I am of the opinion that a home is just a nice thing to come back to, and didnt want all the responsibilities to ever be obligatory for her. She did have 10 years with her husband, 5 of those being married. Neither of the kids want the responsibilities of any of it, but still want the farm to be in good standing with the rest of the farming co-op. To my eyes she is the caretaker of the property where the house sits, but doesn't have much sayso, nor get any of the credit of managing the homestead.
Rebecca

She probably looks at it differently.
We all have different perspectives.

Happy Thanksgiving to those like me in the U.S.
I just got done doing a new incline workout on the treadmill for 25 minutes. 4 sets starting at a 2 incline going up to 8 on the 4th set. You do 1 minute and 30 second intervals with speed between 2.0 and 3.5. It definitely got my heart rate up. This evening I’ll just do a normal treadmill walk. I figured it will help some after eating lots of good food which I plan on eating in moderation.
I hope everyone enjoys time with your family and to always be thankful not just on Thanksgiving.
Gina
That's great!!
I love having my treadmill on hand whenever the weather isn't very nice.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate. I took a morning neighborhood walk then did a bit of leaf blowing (which is a waste of time as it’s already a mess again).
You all have inspired me. I think I’ll start clearing out the closet and dresser today. I have so many clothes that I don’t like, don’t fit anymore, and/or don’t flatter me anymore. I truly need an entirely new wardrobe. I hate going out because I don’t look nice in anything I have anymore. And we are going to dinner tonight and I’m anxious because of my wardrobe.
Maybe if I have a few things that fit better rather than many things that do nothing for me, I’ll feel better about myself. *sigh.*
The mister completed his antibiotic cycle. Hopefully he will start to feel better. I think he’s mad at me too.
Tried a new chiropractor yesterday and now I have a bit of a headache. He does the popping and I don’t care for that style. But my back feels better.
Tracey-This forum is unprotected which is why I limit what I share. I don’t know who’s reading it.
I wish they would secure it. You have to log in to comment, why not require login to read it? That baffles me.
Tina in CA
Many forums are wide open to the world for reading, but closed to members for comment. It's the way forums were designed back when they appeared on the scene a couple decades ago.
I won't go into all the details of my life on a forum either.
I also have to go through my closets, especially now that I've decided since I haven't worn a pullover sweater in years, having them just sit there and stare at me isn't accomplishing much.

Our day has been delightful. Even waking up almost an hour late, I managed to cook the turkey, walk 10,000 steps, walk with the dogs and my friend, give Jake chance to go to the grocery store, go to my 9 AM zoom meeting and have our turkey meal ready to serve before noon. Later we got a few texts and phone calls, watched some tv, and played with the dogs. After dark I put up my one holiday decoration, a holiday theme penguin over the pole light in front of the house. I am so grateful to all of you and how you share your lives with me and listen to my stories. This is an amazing place. Thank you.

I know!!!
Yeah, I will take her money!
I agree. Way to patient and easy going with him and his mom than I should be. Wish I could stand up to him more. Old habits die hard. Stared with first hubby and continued with this one(and this one for over 31 yrs).This is a big problem for me and things wouldn't be as bad as they are if I had spoke up years ago.
He has calmed down and is thinking a bit clearer. We will both go do the show both days. He will go over early tomorrow afternoon before we go down (show is at 3:30) and then skip Saturday. We do have a friend going over to take her trash can in so she doesn't try doing it herself again-last time ended with 911 being called for her because she wouldn't leave it out a few more hours.
He will just deal with her attitude on Sunday.
She knows our friends and they can check in on her if they need to. Or, they can just drive over, put her can in and leave before she knows they are there

I would have told my husband to lie to her and tell her the friend made it so she would eat it, then later asked her how she liked the meal and if she said it was tasty, I would have told her you made it and leave the $$ on the table and walk out6 -
Busy
I'm not entirely sure why, but I have been swamped with emails at home and at work since we got back from Canada. Part of the reason is "black friday" ... we're Australian, "black friday" has no meaning for us, but businesses have seen it as a way of getting people to spend more money.
Funny thing ... one of the places I shop for clothes sometimes has prices that range from about $7 (when an item is on sale) to about $70. For "black friday", they sent out a bunch of texts saying they put all of their prices at $20. I went into the store, and they had about half their stuff at $20 and the rest higher. But they'd raised the lower price stuff to $20!!! I walked out.
Another part of the reason for all the emails probably has to do with the impending end of the year. All sorts of things we might need to take care of.
Work has been insanely busy. I walk in at 8:45 and next thing I know it's lunch ... then 5:30 pm.
And all sorts of appointments and errands at lunch. Bone density scan. Doctor for my husband - he did something to his foot/leg. I completely forgot to top up my bus pass yesterday. It will make Monday interesting.
Speaking of forgetting, I tucked a few things away before our trip to Canada, and it took me a couple weeks to find them again - so much time spent digging through everything in the house. Could not remember. My special skill is that I can put things in a safe place and completely forget where the safe place is! On the plus side, I've got a pretty good idea what needs to be done in the house.
But worse is that I moved the bone density scan referral to the home office. The home office is a dumping point for all sorts of stuff, but 99% of the time, I'm finished with whatever it is. I usually keep all current referrals and other medical documents in the large ziplock bag in my backpack. So I had to spend one evening hunting for the thing. Thank goodness, I found it!!
I've got a 3-day course next week at a time when I really need to be in at work figuring out why something isn't working ... but it is what it is. Unless an answer drops in my lap in the next few days, I'll figure it out for next quarter.
The 3-day course is for SQL. That'll be interesting.
And I've got 2 other courses I need to get moving on.
My Things To Do list grows each day rather than shrinking, and stuff to do is coming in so thick and fast, I don't even have time to add it to my calendar!
One of the down-sides of going away for a month! Oh well, I wouldn't have missed that trip for the world.
Now I had better get moving.

In our case, it's a husband-wife flu shot or COVID shot (which I need to add to my list).
Yep! I've gotten to love the quiet of the waiting room.

'I happen to like/feel ......' ....very loudly and determinedly. Practice it in the mirror. You are you. Just up the volume until they get the message.
Then you can say, 'That is my opinion. Can we change the subject '.
People rarely try to tell me how to live my life, but John occasionally disagrees with me in a way that triggers me. So I just speak much louder. The huff he gets into is his problem. He always gets over it.
Nobody tells me how to live my life. Occasionally P, my difficult friend tries to explain something to me, but I use the same technique. Leaning forward is good. I can see my other friends, G and B, do a slight smile and wince a bit. P gets over it too.

Rebecca, I stopped wearing makeup when the pandemic hit and have not gone back. Just use moisturizer daily and feel my skin looks and feels so much healthier.
Tracey, thanks for the facebook marketplace idea...will certainly check it out. Received a couple of my items from amazon today and one is beautiful (a lighted residence) but the other which was a figurine is broken in 3 places so will be going back. Was not packaged very well. The house came in it's own box, then inside an amazon box and was well packaged. Pleased with my snow blanket and the group of different size trees will be perfect. Think I will start setting it up soon.
Joy
I wore makeup when I was younger but only if I mixed the makeup blob with some Oil Of Olay blob. Otherwise it just made me feel claustrophobic. I don't have the greatest complexion but I am ok with that.

Heather-Max's school trip sounds wonderful. Around here the big deal is the 8th graders usually get a trip to Washington, D.C. for a couple of days. When YS was in high school the Spanish and French groups did do a trip to France and Spain. We somehow found the money for that-it was the cheapest way to do it and it was a great educational experience for him
Annie-hope your mother feels better.
Tina-I understand what you mean-I don't like to say anything I wouldn't say to others.
Debbie-glad DH calmed down.
Rebecca-family relationships can be difficult. Just try to love them and not let them have power over you. She is no doubt speaking from a position of love-she just doesn't speak your love language! Cherish the good parts.
Gina-now that it is getting dark so early I will use my treadmill more. I do like being able to do incline. With outdoor walks I usually have a couple of routes a each week that have some uphill/downhill.
I haven't worn make up for years-it made me feel like my skin couldn't breath. Plus, I have freckles (and now age spots)-to get it all smoothed out I would look like a clown! I have good skin tone-people know what they get with me!
Had lovely dinner at son's house. Got to hold Luna and feed her and watch her sleep. Absolutely no drama. I loved it. Home now. Just had a nice chat with Step DIL. She is so sweet.
Going to peruse some of the Amazon Black Friday specials-SDIL wants a gift idea for me-I'll see if I can find something I haven't already bought for myself!
Take care all,
Ginny in Ohio
Yes I love her to pieces, and she really helped me get thru my mourning regarding my son, and I will be forever grateful on those fragile days I could call and vent.💖.

Heather: Sorry about your thigh. You looked great in the dress you gave away. My family asks very little about my life. They don't want to know details. Mostly this is okay with me. Sometimes it is lonely. But I seldom have to assert myself. I have one friend that I sometimes have to emphasize how I feel when it is different from how she feels.
Beth: Hope you enjoyed going to Rochester!
Annie: I am glad your Mom is okay from the fall and hope her mouth is okay and that she is feeling better. I used cleaning wipes with my DH and they worked well. Now I have them for myself.
Joy: The Christmas Village sounds like a great project. So good to change up what we do at Christmas as the years go by.
Rebecca: I was just at the beach with my son and his wife. He made us Raman noodles with cheese and spinach and added in Chicken from one of those pre-cooked chickens. It was pretty good! Though off any type of diet! I would give your son the gift!
Tina: I hope your DH feels better!
Allie: Glad you are okay!
Machka: So glad you don't have osteoporosis. I had a pre-cancerous breast lesion and this was treated with 5 years of Tamoxifen which I think gave me osteoporosis. Apparently this is very bad in my lower spine. I fear a fracture. I take Prolia shots 2x a year.
Veebskale: Welcome
Rori: So sad about Amy. I hope her passing is peaceful
ChrisBow1963: Welcome
Debbie: Sorry about the DH/MIL drama...but seeing your son cook...that is heart warming!
We had a great time at the coast. I saw the sun set at the pier along with others. Such a nice community feeling. And we walk/played with the dogs on the beach. The next day was very windy and we needed to leave the beach but still got to the pier one more day. My son and his wife did all the cooking...simple meals but we saved by not eating out! I turned down 2 invitations for Thanksgiving but walked with a friend this morning. I was very tired this afternoon and slept. Feel much better now. I have been watching Sullivan's Crossing based on the books by Robyn Carr. I am enjoying this series. Based in Nova Scotia and one of the main characters plays a widower who lost his wife to ALS.
Hope everyone that celebrates Thanksgiving had a pleasant dayk!

Happy Thanksgiving to my American Friends!
Barbara - my doctor recommended Hokas last week for my foot pain.
I hadn’t thought of the lamp, I’ll have to ask about that.
Margaret - I am always amazed at what people over-share. I know a lot of things that people have said just flabbergasts me.
Lanette - I think I’m still using incandescent lighting, we had a bunch to use up and then a friend switched all of hers out and gave the old ones to me.
Tina - that’s a good point. I don’t think of that often.
Joy - that’s a shame your piece was broke. Hopefully they package the replacement better.
Debbie - I wish your DH could step away from seeing his abusive mother. It’s not healthy for any of you. I’m sorry your holiday was ruined.
Rosemarie - my DH is depressed I think. He is grieving his Father who passed in January. He is also working nights again and this really messed him up last year. So it’s a combination. I’m just trying to have patience and understanding.
My son in law’s Mom has been on antidepressants for years as well. She said every time she has tried, with her doctor, she ends up on them again so she just stays on them now. I am currently on them, have been since 2020 dealing with my work situation. I was going to go off them this Fall but my doctor wanted me to wait until Spring. She said in our climate it’s never good to go off them going into winter.
Machka - I always wished there was a way to go on vacation and not feel so behind when I got back.
I don’t know how we let work take over so much.
I don’t know where the time is going! I have only 3 classes left of ceramics before Christmas. I need to get my SIL’s gift started and finished!
I spend all day and evening painting. Tomorrow will be the same I think.
I have a quiz tomorrow in class. I have decided to let the college know how much time our instructor is missing. Last week and this week he missed 2 days each.
I’m off to bed

Sigh, I am awake at 1 am. I just put the Christmas Tree up. Sad without my husband. I could stay up and do more tasks but tomorrow would be ruined. I believe I will sleep in the recliner and put on a meditation book to fall asleep by. Tomorrow at 2 a well liked store owner in town is opening a dessert store and having a ribbon cutting. I hope to make this with a friend. I also hope to find a good Friday deal and make a purchase!

HUGS to you, Rosemarie. You are perfectly entitled to feel sad. Have you tried journalling? Or writing your husband a letter? And it's OK to cry while you are doing it.

LOVE your creations- sooo cute
As for dh, he can't totally step away from his mother because he is the only one to take care of- no other family left. She is 87 I think. Doesn't read/write English well enough to handle bills, doesn't drive, etc.
When she fell a year and a half ago, she truly did his help with everything. She has recovered pretty fully so doesn't need him there twice a day but got used to it and still wants it/demands it. If he doesn't they fight. I don't understand it- He won't stand up to her.
Sadly, I can't remember a holiday in years that he/she didn't ruin.
I missed so many holidays over the years with my family because she expected us there for every one. Christmas was the one a year I put my foot down and made sure I was with my parents.
Time to get to bed.

Debbie- you only have one life to live..why be miserable..
Your son is grown..
It just seems like the only time you have to enjoy is when you visit your mom.why stay with someone who treats you so unhealthy.?im sorry for being so blunt..but these ladies saw me through a marriage to someone who treated me the same way.and when I found out he was cheating I filed for divorce. Your husband might not be doing that but he doesn't show you any respect and neither does his mother.. stand up for up for yourself girlfriend!! We all want to see you enjoy your life.Tommorow isn't promised.
Ok off my soapbox.. and sorry if I overstepped my bounds and hurt your feelings that was not my intention.7 -
Friday
Beekeeping - checked the hive. We've got a small colony, but they're active.
Garden - hacked up another veggie bed with my mattock. It was thick with roots - grass roots, weed roots, and from the nearby hedge. Took me about 3 hours to clear it all. We'll need to add soil now.
I had to have a shower because I was covered from head to foot in dirt!
My husband planted the 2 beds I cleared last weekend with snowpeas and beans.
There are 3 more veggie beds in the back I'll work on next.
Meanwhile, the strawberries and raspberries are coming along, the lemons will need to be picked soon, the apples and pears are developing, and I think we'll need to dig up potatoes in the next couple weeks.
Cycling - drove out to a nearby town and back on part of the route the cyclists will use on the event next weekend. Route checking to make sure the roads are OK. We stopped in the town to cycle a bit. It's really pretty out there.
Stopped for dinner on the way home.

My Thanksgiving. We draw numbers to see who sits at what table to mix things up. Somehow most of the kids ended up at the big table-lol!
My oldest and I
Too much food! Kids played well together. Lots of visiting. Got rest of lights up and the blow ups. Since I clean as I go, cleanup was fairly easy. Put some pie in freezer for later. Next year will do one pie each, no cobbler, small cranberry salad, and turkey breast only (not whole bird). Watched its a wonderful life before bed. Never heard from my other grands yesterday-
I did find out from my nephew's wife that they both got their learner's permits in October. I seriously don't know what is up with them. I am disappointed 😞. You give and give.....and never expect to be discarded. In spite of them, I really had a great day yesterday.
Machka i noticed the pricing thing at businesses going out of business. Marking up prices to do deep discounts. So sad.
Tracey I love your crafts. I love buying homemade items.
Debbie Hugs. I hope the show goes well.
My table is always open to any who want to join!
It is interesting to be able to see changes in attitudes just through our sharing.
Hugs to all as we head into the hardest time of year for lots of us.
Thankful you are all here for us!
Time to get ready for work.

Tracey: I love that! That is pretty much a candid picture of me last night. Even if I give her the stink eye, Egg just pushes her way onto my lap. I washed Tyler's afghan before I boxed it up, and hopefully got rid of the majority of her contribution to the present. Started another one to use up some of the ones in my project boxes that were left over. I'll have to look around for something like a Project Linus for the kids in need. 3
