Happy Friday!! Our Thanksgiving was also great and dinner was delicious. I actually didn't stay very long but I was just exhausted from not sleeping well the night before. At noon, I am going to a benefit for a little girl who has cancer. There will be raffles, chances and a silent auction. It is where my friend Jen works so it will be casual but fun.

Gayla, I am also grateful to have you in my life, I missed you when you weren't here.

Marie, congratulations on the 3 pound loss this week, you did a terrific job. I, on the other hand did not do well so I am taking a by. (is that how you spell it?)

Barbie, what a wonderful Thanksgiving Day you had, I especially like the gratitude quotes on the table, great idea.

Phoebe, I am happy to hear that you got an extra week off for both of you to feel better. I am also so sorry about Okie, good luck with the surgery and hope he heals quickly. Daisy is still limping so she is going to the vet tomorrow, they never took an ex ray so I told Babe to make sure they do. It sounds like more than a sprained ankle to me.

Lin, glad you got to the nursing home safely, but that must have been scary to have truck
debris flying at your car. Did it do any damage to your car? The important thing is that no one got hurt. What the heck is he doing driving at 75 miles an hour anyway?

Jackie, your Thanksgiving picture was priceless and for some reason made me think of Charlie your rooster. Your walks with George must be so beautiful, the scenery minus the bull with big horns sounds wonderful.

After a little catch up on Facebook and my games it is time to hit the showers.
Have a great day.

One Day at a Time

Just a short note to let you know I won a 40 inch TV at the fund raiser. I bought lots of raffle tickets and put them all in the TV raffle box. Love it! Put it in my bedroom and put the bedroom one in my office/guest room. I will probably end up giving the small one from my office to my son if he wants it. The funny thing is Target had a 40 inch TV on sale but I would never shop on Thansgiving or Black Friday. I tried online but it was sold out. God had a plan to let me win this TV. So grateful.

Happy Sunday!! I got some very sad news yesterday, Donna passed away. My ex called to tell me she wasn't feeling well the last couple of days and yesterday her blood sugar was very low and her blood pressure as well. They took her to the hospital and she was diagnosed with pneumonia. Her son told them she did not want any type of resuscitation and she passed within the hour. The sad thing is she was alone but her two daughters were out of town and my ex thought he had more time to get to the hospital. I will miss Donna who always called me her angel and now she is mine.

Marie, you seem to be doing great on your new diet, congratulations.

Gayla, above the reply box if you put your mouse on each of the items you will see a little box that says attach file here. If you click on that box you can find your pictures from your computer and/or IPad and click on the picture and the code will go in the reply box, showing us the picture once you hit post reply. I hope I explained that right. Good luck.

Barbie, I have used that meditation myself, especially when I was with Phil in the hospital for Babe.
Who knows maybe the conversation will be easy this time and the dogs will keep the little girl entertained. Here's hoping anyway. Love the hat, can't believe you did those so fast.

Jeri, I give you so much credit for babysitting three kids, I have a hard time with one.

Lin, love the afghan, nice job. I did put up my outside balcony lights yesterday and hope to get the inside done today. I too, have too much stuff, but will only use what looks nice and not gawdy. I have a dinner with friends later this afternoon which will cut into my time.

Phyllis, looks like a great party and how cute is your friend who dresses up as a Pilgrim. You look great and your shirt is very festive.

Phoebe, glad Okie is home and doing well, I love that you are such a great animal lover and take such good care of your pets. Did I tell you that the vet said Daisy has arthritis? Babe is all upset that she is only five and has it, but the vet told him it is common in big dogs. She is getting some laser treatments to help and also some meds.

Buzz, you still crack me up when you clean before your cleaning girl comes to clean. Wow, 9 pound loss is terrific, it should help you keep on track now. So good to hear your legs are shaped again and you were able to walk further than in previous times. I understand about Mike and you are doing the best you can, so don't beat yourself up for that. Donna told her son they didn't wake her on Thanksgiving for breakfast and when he confronted the helper she told Donna, don't you remember me wheeling you down for breakfast and when you saw they had bacon you were thrilled? The helper told John they made sure she got all three meals and she ate a little at all of them. After she left, Donna told John she is lying and they are mean to her and push her. She is at peace now, where she can be happy again.

I better get moving if I want to get anything done. It is going to be a busy week with babysitting, having my kids fly in and staying with me for the funeral, the funeral, the trips back and forth to the airport and finally packing and leaving for my trip on Saturday. Whew I am exhausted already.
