hmmmmm....I was asking that their story be cut and pasted so it could be shared with as many people as possible. They need financial help. Pictures of a dog will go around the world on Facebook. There is something wrong here.

you would think we were over run with bugs and creators the way Sammie is carrying on the lasts few days. Sniping and really looking for them. I guess they came in out of the cold. We have not seen any but Sammie sure has heard and smell them somewhere. Mostly in the bathroom and laundry room. Hope we don't have any rats. He is overturning our thrash cans. scathing at all of the doors. and windows. We have had a few lizzards baby ones. But not lately. Now he is trying to get in Jerry closet

I share picture of my great grandson on facebook. Not due till January. though. Its amazing now a days. of how they can take pictures of The baby inside of its Mommy



hope it was a good one.

Light snow here today. I've spent the day cleaning and chopping fresh vegetables, baking a butternut squash and a sweet potato, making the cranberry sauce with pear and apple chunks added, talked to my dad, then have spent a lot of time trying to shop online for things my dad needs at discount prices. Have done pretty good. Also have the handyman stopping by later to change a filter in my water system. I don't have a filter wrench and don't want to tackle it myself.

Walking, walking walking around the house and I've gotten all the winter stuff into my vehicles, and have my winter bag packed to put in the car whenever needed. Plan to read a bit later, do some more knitting. I'd like to get the first of the 6+ pieces to the point where I can take it to the shop tomorrow to make sure I know how to cast off properly without messing it up. Ha. As far as doing crochet and/or knitting to help the arthritis in my hands, so far, I don't see where it's helping. Still pain, stiffness, and I drop things all the time. Thank the Lord for Otter boxes---my phone still works (dropped it again this morning).

God Bless You my friends. I could use some remedial help from Phyllis and Barbie regarding knitting. Still finding it challenging as a left-hander to figure things out. I hope we can all keep in touch this winter. It may be one where I stay home A LOT!

Good Morning or good night to you all. Tonight I am taking my daughter in law to see the musical HAIRSPRAY. The HS students are putting it on over at the school. Try usually do a really god job so I am anxious to see it. My son works afternoons and nights so my daughter in law gets bored sitting at home all alone so I had her over last night for a while. She works days so they don't get to spend a lot of time together. She wanted to learn how to make COOKIES and learn how to knit. We only got the cookies baked and then it was getting late so we will do knitting another night. AFTER she buys her some yarn for a scarf that she wants to try to make.
I finished a pair of slippers and she also wants to learn to make a pair for her husband. I'm attaching a photo of them. I put them on but they are a bit big for me. Love reading all about everyone daily activities but I am not so good to comment on everyone post. Love ya all,
Phyllis

phyliss you amaze me of all of your craft They all look so lovely. Your Daughter in law is a lucky girl. to have you to teach her things. My mother was not a crafty person. Now my grandmother was but I did not take after her in her many ways of doing things.

Shirley I am off on this new diet, Prevention slimming up on fiber.
The first week I take Breakfast of upping my fiber The second week learn to upped my fiber on snacks. I do not keep track of anything but fiber. Last night I was not hungry and I took an adventure on my dinner. Had a bag of microwave popcorn for 8 grams of fiber and 5 dry apricots for 4 grams total of 12 grams of fiber and check my blood sugar before bedtime and it was 105. so I guess the fiber in my food kept my blood Sugar down.
. For breakfast this morning it will be oatmeal 4 grams of fiber, 5 Apricots half with skim milk. for a total of 8 grams for breakfast. Maybe I have found what may work for me. Lets hope so My goal for the next for the next weeks is to get my fiber count up to 30 or 31 So about .



This is me.
