@Kayla, so sorry!! POOR KAYLA!!!
@Tabatha_Cain, I Hope the day went well!!0 -
Diane: Good morning. Yeah the weather is strange.0

@Patti241 , a throughout Oct we'd be in the 50s, then suddenly in the mid to high 70s! This week again. It used to be "we better get a turkey in case we can't go to Grandma's." We lived less than 10 mins away, but the snow could be waist high. That rarely happens now.0

Happy Sunday and wishing you a great week.

Good Morning VIP friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday and it is going to be an interesting day. Joe took the day off work. He has an appointment at 9 am for a job interview and then he has the rest of the day free. I am excited to have him home with me. That is going to be an interesting change. I love the idea of him being home with me today. That is going to be awesome. Chloe sure will love it. Today is rainy. Which is not unusual for November early on. I think at some point we will have some snow as that usually already happens by November 1st. At least a small dropping of snow that does not stick. This year it has been fairly warm. I hope that doesn't say we are going to have a deep freeze for winter.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday

@Tabatha_Cain, Awwww ENJOY having Joe at home today!! SWEET!! Awww any pics of Chloe(LOL we know you do,, hint hint, they grow so fast!). I think on my phone I have more pictures of my cats than I do anything else. LOL, My GD gets to laughing "Oh she'll tell everyone about her cats before she mentions US!" Hehehehehe it's true!! Not that I do not adore my GD and GGS we all know I certainly do, but the cats are in the house with me. ENJOY!!! WOOHOO!!
@Patti241 when I woke up today it is 37! LOL It'll "warm" up to 42, I am okay with that!!0 -
Tomorrow is Don's surgery, not sure if I will be checking in. Have a great day. Hugs and blessings all.

@Dianedoessmiles1 Thank you for virtually taking me to the beach. I used to live in OOB and I miss walking on the sand after all the tourists have gone home.
@Kurtize Best wishes to Don on his surgery. I hope all goes well!
I hate when it gets colder. Despite being born in New England, I have never been a fan of the cold.
Sometimes I really miss living in the Southernmost Point.
I also can't believe Thanksgiving (US) is just over three weeks away. Where did the time go??

@Kurize, we'll be in touch. Hoping for the best. Many hugs.
@cinebibliophile , I'll be staying in the condo right there at the start of the pier in Dec. We have 4 of us going. It'll be so much fun. I love OOB in the winter when snowing stopping by Lisa's pizza. Lol walking the beach eating it. Of course we do not get the snow we used to. I'll put up pics. It'll be in Dec.
Time flies by so fast! I adore the cold and more so snow! Good thing I was born here! When it hits 83 here (way to often now) I'm sweating horribly.

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Tuesday and it is going to be a great day. We are going to be getting right on the phones at 9 am instead of getting into our group huddle like normal. I am super excited for that. I really am. Yesterday I took 35 calls. This should increase my calls by 4 or 5 I would think. That will be pretty good. I am getting decent I think. I still have to ask for life referrals more often and ask about the membership stuff. Other than that I think I am doing really well. I am excited to actually get out on the floor.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Yes I will post some more photos of Chloe. She turned 6 months old on November 2. So we weighed her 47.9 pounds. Oh my goodness. She is going to be a big pup. Although I read that by 6 months they have about 60% of the body size and weight. So maybe not too big. She has definitely hit her teenage years. I really enjoyed having Joe home yesterday. It was nice just having him here. I really enjoyed it. He got to hear what I do and got sick of it really quick so he went and watched a movie in the bedroom.
@Kurtize - I will be praying for Don's surgery. I pray everything goes well.
@cinebibliophile - Yeah I am not a fan of the cold either. I was raised in Michigan which is not as cold as New England, but we still get some negative numbers in regards to the cold so I feel we do count.
As promised some Chloe Photos: Last 2 are Chloe while we are leaf blowing outside. One she is looking for her ball and the other playing with my rake. The First 2 are the first time she is out of the crate while I am at work upstairs and the second photo is her being pooped after the dog park day on Saturday.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday.

Hi, thank you all for your prayers, Don's surgery went well, we are know just waiting for the biopsy results. Have a great day, I am tired. Hugs2

@Tabatha_Cain, nice on yesterday! Lol I'm not surprised Joe got bored. Awwww WOW Chloe has gotten so big! Awwww she's adorable! TY for for posting.
@Patti241, Good day Patti! Hope the day goes well.
@Kurtize , happy to hear that the surgery went well.0 -
Good Morning VIP friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and well it is going to be a great day. Joe and I have our co-ed life group online tonight. So we will be getting together with 3 other couples and 3 ladies. I honestly hope we are all there tonight. It would be nice to all be on screen together. It has been a while since that happened since summer everyone was busy doing their own thing.
@Kurtize - I am glad Don's surgery went well. I will continue to pray for good new regarding the biopsy.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - No problem. She has grown up quite a bit. I honestly cannot believe she was ever so little. She is always so mischievous. Darn teenage years. Yes it is no surprise Joe got bored listening to my calls over and over again. It is a thing that gets annoying sometimes with the ringing back to back.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday

@Tabatha_Cain, Hope your group worked out tonight. Mine sure did!! We had 9 people when it was 6. If it gets to big we do breakout rooms. During the pandangitall we had 8 breakout rooms!! And LOL we go from room to room if we wanted to. Oh our pets are like kids, they GROW WAY TO FAST!!! LOL the teenage years in pets is halirous!! Oscar is right about through that part, ,,, maybe. LOL!!!
HIs when I got him picture at 11 months he was not at a healthy weight!! LOL Now at 2 1/2 he is.
@Patti241 how did the day go? YO!! It got HOT HERE at 76!!! YUH? It's NOVEMBER!!! We should be having some SNOW!!
@Kurtize,,, hehehehe that should be our team motto!! But for all of something we possess inside of ourselves.0 -
Good Morning VIP Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Thursday and I go see the OB-GYN today in regard to my ultrasound. I am hoping she will have some insight on what we need to do moving forward. I am interested to find out.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - He is adorable. He definitely did fill out quite a bit more since you have gotten him. They say Chloe will be out of her puppy stage at the age of 2. I only have 1.5 more years to go. Yay. So not looking forward to that. She is so annoying sometimes, but I do love her a lot. She definitely has a personality on her. Joe keeps trying to teach her what items are tug toys and what items are not. She wants to tug with everything. Even her squeaky chicken. Which is kinda fun to try and tug on considering it is rubber and slippery when she has slobbered all over it. She really loves tug.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.

@Tabatha_Cain , I hope today went well. Did you get any results from the ultrasound? I hope so, or that you will I'm the next few days. Awwww I miss Oscar being a kitten. I wish I had him earlier than 9 months old(I may of put 11 months old. That was Izzy lol I much up my fur babies as kids!). They grow so fast. Awww lololol though they are pain in a small way as youngsters, lololol they are foolishly funny! If anyone had told me having 2 cats so far apart wouldn't be good I'd of ignored it. Izzy goal is to be on my lap, resting or the bed. Again lolol resting. She has earned that. But they do play. Almost half the play comes from Izzy to get him going. He's always willing!
@Patti241 Good day. It was nice out today.0 -
Here' s a good artifice (I liked it) from Today's Inspiration

Happy Thursday night.
Took a walk with our walking/hiking senior group. Part of it was through the woods and lovely.
Later we meet my brother and SIL for lunch.
Nice relaxing day.0 -
Good Morning VIP friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Friday and it is going to be a great day. I am feeling a bit ill, but only because I am finally starting to take one of my medications correctly and it is causing a bit of issues with the increase in meds. So I am not feeling well, but I will be ok. It is normal for this to happen. Today I am looking forward to finishing the day and then having the weekend to relax and decompress. I am really looking forward to it. We will be taking Chloe to Joe's daughter's house. She also has a golden retriever. So we are taking them to see if they will be friends. To be fair they are family. Joe's daughter's golden retriever is Chloe's Great Uncle. So it will be interesting to see if they get along. I hope so. Chloe is pretty hyper.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I did get results. I have had these 2 cysts on my left ovary since Sept 2023. So over a year. They shrank a tiny bit this time in stead of getting bigger so she is putting me on birth control for 3 months and then repeating the ultrasound. If they don't go away they she will look at surgically removing the cysts. I too have 3 cats. I got 1 cat and then 4 years later got the 2 kitten siblings. They play well together most of the time.
@Lopeyp - That is nice that you have a walking group. I would love to have that.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Friday
Tabatha0 -
Happy Friday and weekend. It is cold and rainy but no snow. Not much new. Hugs and blessings

@Lopeyp, That sounds wonderful!! Did you take any pics you'd like to share? I love the woods, but never go now.
@Tabatah_Cain, I am also going through a med adjustment. YO!! I may have to contract the Dr office during the weekend, if not I'll call my insurance nurse. Side effects can be grrrrr!!! Awww like with @Lopeyp, awww if you get a pic of Chloe and the Uncle woof woof, hey we'd love to see that also! I didn't go out today so no pictures. LOL I took some, but just of Izzy and Oscar and you've all seen that! Cysts can hurt, but mine in my ovaries did not. I asked her twice, and I am pretty sure I heard WRONG BOTH TIMES! She did surgery said it was as big as a soft ball on the left side the other side about an inch. They were removed. They thought for sure it was cancerous before the biospy, my blood tests were all saying so. BUT PHEW!! It was NOT!!! I was 48 when they did the surgery. To this day it was the best surgery ever!! LOLOL In that it stopped the monthly stuff. Hopefully they can do it without cutting you open? Mine was long enough ago and it was so big they did cut me up from my belly button down to my puvic bone. YO!! In week 3 though I was not feeling that pain to bad. If you have surgery hopefully it'll not be one I did though again, it was doable. We are here with ya!!
@Kurtize, I guess you may be happy it did not snow? Now, we KNOW I am THROWING A FIT that @Katiecondy1 got some and I DID NOT!! Hopefully, we will this year!0
