WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR NOVEMBER 2021

Lisa, so sorry to hear of your daughter's troubles with her hubby. I too wonder if he's stepping outside the confines of marriage and maybe feeling guilty so lashing out at her to deflect. Not a nice thing for him to do from half a continent and an ocean away! Also sorry that she felt she had to leave earlier than expected, but so glad for her that she has you and Corey behind her. Sounds like her military "family" is also firmly behind her. Well, except for the neighbours..... My FIL was also in the military and MIL had similar comments to make about the nosiness of some of her neighbours in military housing also.
Pip, you two have such a cute setup for the trailer etc, all the comforts of home, by the looks of it. Can't remember if I commented on how nice your new patio looks!
Tracey, the Christmas tree farm is really cute! Sorry to hear about your DD having issues with her hubby. And why does he think there has to be a fight, can they not talk something over without fighting? Maybe they should think about having a couple of sessions with a counselor, the right person can be a very valuable asset.
Kim, how frightening that must have been for you and for Levi when he found the pot! So happy to hear that he recovered quickly! Very nice of you to help your neighbour, I can certainly understand it being exhausting tho.
Barbie, I wouldn't have shared my contact list with the person who asked either, and quite frankly, the privacy reason was way down on the list! The person who is starting up the class needs to do her own advertising and class building, it's not up to you to provide clients for her! And now hearing that it was a third person who asked, it sounds even more rude!
Flea, sending you healing thoughts, glad to hear that the surgery went well, even if a clip did go missing.... It probably did get sucked up unnoticed.
Rori, you've been through so much, I hope this weekend brings you some peace.

The weather has just been nuts the past few days, and is supposed to be that way for a few more. Driving home from work in the rain last night was not fun. We are experiencing another atmospheric river so lots of rain, although, my friend and I went for a walk this morning and it was quite lovely! Very mild and we were both overdressed! But it was really nice to get out with her. But it's raining again, it was really windy last night too, our power blipped out at some point, best calculation I can come up with is that it went out around 5:30 am, but it was back on when I got up at 8, the only indication I had was that the kitchen appliances were winking at me. When I got home from my walk I started to clean house, did not bad, got the bedding changed, the bathrooms done and half of upstairs vacuumed before I decided to quit. I was actually getting quite hungry so decided to stop for lunch and just couldn't quite get my ambition back to finish the vacuuming. I did some bead crafting instead. I ordered a few kits from Mary Maxim (the Canadian version of Herschners), some were really quick to do, but I'm doing some Christmas trees, they are a bit more complicated and have more seed beads so it takes longer just to get the beads on. Never mind trying to make a tree shape with wire..... But that was how I spend my afternoon and I enjoyed it. The vacuuming will still be there, and I can finish it tomorrow.
Well, I think this post is long enough now! Hugs for those needing them, congrats to those celebrating and welcome to the newbies!

ps, not sure how I feel about the new format for the community, I miss the star that I could just click on and not have to scroll all the way to almost the bottom of the page to find my bookmarks. Oh well, I will adjust eventually.... but I don't have to like! lol

On a downer at the moment, miserable weather, lack of holidays etc etc. Comfort eating, scale going in the wrong direction. Monday morning, have given myself a good talking to and will exercise and try to control food intake.

Stay safe everyone
Kate UK ❤️

I can't remember if I commented on here at all this past weekend. I got my second jab on Friday evening. I got my shopping done while I was out. I stayed up late that night and was up by 8am. I felt okay and very lucky I wasn't really having a reaction. lol Then by about noon, I felt very tired and achy. It was a very flu-like feeling for sure. I just kept throwing theraflu at it and drank tea and ate bread and crackers. I was a slug in the recliner for the day. Well, it must have worked because I felt better yesterday and was able to get things done that needed doing. SO...I am vaccinated and ready for my visit with the grandsons at the end of December. DD has only three weeks left until baby's due date. She finished all of her "nesting" prep this past weekend, has her hospital bag packed and she is ready whenever baby decides it is time. So exciting!
Barbie- I had that happen to me one year, as I was stepping down as the secretary of the choir/drama boosters; the new secretary asked for all of the parent contacts (over 200 of them). I told her that I would send a "good-bye" email to everyone and advise them to contact her (the new secretary) if they were still planning to stay involved. I don't like giving my personal info out (especially to people/stores I don't know). I think most people are that way. Good on you, for sticking to your guns!

Kids arriving! This week is Homemade Bread week and also Stone Soup week! Yummm! ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)
