Good afternoon everyone, I hope you all are having a wonderful day today and enjoying what ever you have planned. I did volunteer service this morning and then stopped at A&W for a Momma Burger and Fries - my once a month treat ... it was good and I enjoyed every bite guilt free ! This afternoon I will be studying my bible and making notes.
@Dianedoessmiles1 glad your laptop worked great for you - I don't know how to do a split screen as I have never needed one. I use a note book and pen for notes, but maybe I might do things different on this coming Saturday as that is our Assembly. I am really looking forward to it. When we go in person, the Assembly Hall is a good hour away and next one I will have to arrange a ride since I do not drive ! Ohhh Staples - love going there and good you walked around just to get steps in - I did that yesterday at Superstore but also found my pens i like so bought 2 packages.
@Kurtize thank you very pretty !!

@Bookienj.,,, For our that's part of the issue. Where I shop THANKFULLY they want us to have the best, they have a "if it's one of our products and it's not good, bring it back. You'll get double your money back plus a dollar" policy. Of course NO STORE EVER wants to do that, so they are choosy on where they get their stuff from. In turn most of us are also fussy so yeah the lines will be longer. There's one other grocery store in the area, Shaw's in many other states called Albertson. BUT MOST Shaw's especially around here are not that clean, their products are not overall good, their service is lacking severely. Right around me 3 have closed recently. The only one left is down the street from where I go. LOL Our saying is "If you need something and it's a brand name, go there if you are in a hurry. Sure, you'll likely pay more, but the lines are shorter!"
@Kurtize,,, Hope today was GREAT!! PRETTY flowers. May we all please be safe.
@Lindiemaep ,, OH LINDA!! WE MISS A&W!!! As a kid I had my Dad stop there EVERY SINGLE TIME!! YUMMY hotdog and the BEST ROOTBEER EVER!! To this day it's the best, though NOTHING like from the fountain and in the frosty glass!! Do they still do the frosty glass? Here's the split screen and how I had it set up. To look up the scriptures I used my phone, 3 screens in a split would of been to small for my yes. LOL You can see Izzy did NOT WANT to give up her spot!! HAHAHAHAHA I just worked around her. THANKS on the exercise yesterday. We were BACK there today for 25 mins so again I walked around the store. YEAH On finding the pens you like.

@Dianedoessmiles1 thanks for showing the split screen - I'll have to play with mine but rather then do that I decided to do the stream on the Ipad and then bring up the word doc I use as I want to try that for notes. Of course when we go back to live I'll have to figure it out another way lol I need a good keyboard but I do not want to take a heavy laptop. The Ipad might become the note taker then. Today I studied on the 20 questions in our Bible in the front part of it. Ahhh Izzy kept you company. I was playing bird songs for Amigo and then cat meows, he perked at the birds but not enough to get off the bed, then Gene came in and played soothing music for cats....Glad you got a good walk in, sometimes that is how I get mine in - but I have to be careful as the leg goes numb then I know I am in for a rough night. I prefer A&W over MickyDee's any day especially their breakfast bacon and egger !! When I worked I would get their breakfast to go, eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, toast and it was reasonable. Only thing is they didn't do rye bread which I like. They do in Winnipeg, Manitoba though lol3

@Lindiemaep ,, It's super easy to do the split screen if your device doesn't have it automatically. My laptop does it with a simple click on the - SQUARE x in the right hand corner. When I put my mouse over the DQUARE it has the options there. But, on my computer I just need to make my screen smaller, by also slicking on the square, than doing like when crop a pick, put your mouse on the edge of the screen you wish to make smaller, move it. TADA!! that's 1 half for the other half I just click on my browser again and do the same thing.3

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you all had a good weekend. It is now time to get back to work. I enjoyed my weekend. It was fun. I spent time relaxing at my boyfriend's parents house. They always make room for us and we brought some of the food they prepared this weekend so it was nice to spend time with them. His family is so nice. I like being there and being able to relax.
@cormierannie - Good Morning. Glad you are all doing well
@LindieMaeP - Wow that is a lot for a pack of cigarettes. My boyfriend is feeling better. I hope you enjoyed your burger. How did your bible study go?
@Kurtize - Hope you have a good day. You are warm in Texas. It is 45 here in Michigan
@Dianedoessmiles1 - My BF is feeling better. He is learning which foods trigger his gut issues and he is staying away from them. Sorry the lines were so long.
@bookieNJ - We also have a store where the food goes bad faster. I don't like to shop there anymroe.
Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you all have a fantastic day

We finished our Halloween decorations! I made some floating candles for our dining room to give it a Great Hall at Hogwarts vibe, and we have some cute decor around the house. Figured I'd share this!

Good Morning! A quick pop in to share an autumn photo and a quick joke
From the book The Last Storyteller by Frank Delaney. (Abbrev. form)
There was a man up in Galway one night, and he was getting ready for bed when a knock comes to the door. He goes back downstairs muttering, Who the blazes is this at this hour of the night?, and when he opens the door there's a snail on the doorstep. A big snail, nice shiny shell, and the little gray, greasy horns sticking up. And the snail says to the man, 'Good evening to you, sir. I'm sorry to disturb you, but could I interest you in buying a set of encyclopedias?'
"The man is only livid and he kicks the snail off the doorstep. Snail goes sailing through the air, hits the far ditch. And the man goes back to sleep.
"Two years later, nearly to the day, the man is getting ready for bed again and the knock comes to the door. He opens the door, and who's there, only the snail on the doorstep again. The snail looks up at the man and says, 'What the hell was that for?'"
(Maybe that is just my sense of humor).

Ahhh what a beautiful morning it is, already a nice 54F and only going to 70F I can handle that but we have a bit of a wind warning. I will enjoy that too Love seeing the tree leaves dancing in the wind !!
Enjoyed the Hunter moon rising last night, but did not stay up too too late, of course had I stayed up later I would most likey have different shots of it but was happy to see it rise and diagnally, not in a straight rise up !
@majork29 isn't the weather unbeleiveable ? Drought conditions here but nice during the day anyway - have to watch that water consumption now - hope you enjoyed your day!
@Tabatha_Cain how nice to spend the weekend with your BF's parents, and bring food home. Hopefully a diary of food will help to iliminate troublesome foods - for me it is certain oils used in baking - some of them give me indegestion and I know not to have them anymore. Have a good workday and may you get a lot accomplsihed ! The Bible study went well, 1Kings:17,18 very exciting chapters, actually the next two are as well !! Lots to learn from it!! Thanks for asking.
@NovemberGail ahhh cute story!! Love the picture, thank you ! Hope you are doing well !
@Dianedoessmiles1 I got it !! I looked it up and found I can do the windows key and the right arrow and that will split the screen for me ! So I'll be able to do that for Saturday and other events too !
@cosmiccurves my granddaughter, Charise, would LOVE your theme room - she is so into that!
@Patti241 good morning to you too and how is your day going ?
Hunter Moon rising !!
Oh I have to share this picture of Amigo ... he's mesmerized by the birds on the computer, but not enough to come and swipe the screen. LOL Lazy cat !! And I am happy at that !!
Have a wonderful day everyone, enjoy what ever you have to do !!

@Dianedoessmiles1 -Aw we don’t have Shaw’s or Albertson’s. Our store doesn’t seem to have the quality thing-it’s hard to return stuff.
@Tabatha_Cain -Aw I am sorry!2 -
Good afternoon all. I don't know where the time went today. I did get in my PT exercises then we went shopping and now I am tired, my plan was to clean bathrooms, maybe tomorrow. I am getting my hair cut tomorrow, it sure needs it.
@cosmiccurves - love the decorations
@NovemberGai - like the story
Have a great rest of the day everyone. Hugs and blessings.
Some more diet humor LOL

@Tabatha_Cain,,, Glad you had a very good sounding weekend!! Aww it's GREAT when the family accepts the ones we bring into it. And we are accepted into the other one(s). SWEET!! I hope he's able to determine which foods bother him!!
@Cosmiccurves you are creative.
@Patti241 ,, Good day Patti!! It was a cool day, rain the AM, sun as the sunset. LOL!
@Majork ,, We have a member on our team who's also from Edmonton. Where you in the service? She was. Her screen name is Cheririddell. LOL The snow will be there soon enough!
@Novembergail, LOLOLOL Hey I agree!! I DID laugh at that. Beautiful picture!
@Lindiemaep ,,, WOW nice that it'll be 70. That's just about right!! SUPER COOL you are able to split your screen also!! I did enjoy the bible reading this week also. Meeting is tomorrow night. If my body WOULD ONLY BEHAVE I'd say "oh I'll absolutely be in person!" But it doesn't like to behave!!
@Bookienj,, that'd be harder. I am so happy Shaws which food isn't great and often it'll spoil fast , will be gone. You may remember in Sept we had the big BBQ and the corn from Shaw's,,, all 60 ears were NOT ANY GOOD!! YO!! Had the guy who did the shopping used Hannaford, we'd of gotten back double our money and 1 dollar more. But at Shaws LOL I am not sure if he told them.
@Kurtize,, HAHAHAHAHA On the cartoon!! LOLOL Okay!! LOL!!! is PT Still helping? HOPE SO!!
YUMMY I am sitting here eating some homemade chili (SMALL BOWL!! About 3/4 of a cup) and 2 small corn muffins so nice and warm just out of the oven. YUMMY indeed WINTER TIME IS ALMOST HERE!!2 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is going to be a good day. I am ready to start the day and get stuff done. I feel great this morning. I got a good workout in yesterday. My BF is doing well with his Gut issues. He goes and sees his doctor tomorrow.
@cosmiccurves - That is great. It looks really good.
@majork29 - It is suppose to snow here in Michigan later this week I believe.
@NovemberGail - That is a funny joke. Love the Autumn photo.
@LindieMaeP - This weekend at church we studied Matthew 20-27. It was all about helping people and being kind. It really hit home for me. I love your photos. Amigo looks so cute in the photo.
@Kurtize - Time went super fast yesterday. It was crazy how fast.
Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you have a great day.

Lindie: My day went okay yesterday.

Hi all, got my hair cut and I really like this salon I went to and the hairdresser was really terrific. Right now feeling lazy but need to get myself moving.
Hugs and blessings to you all, have a great day.
Just keep taking chances and having fun. Garth Brooks4 -
Good afternoon all, fall has finally showed up to the calandar - very cold last night, or chilly compared to what we have been having. Nice warm afternoons and cool nights, I can wear my new hoodie at night now - still have my bedroom window open, it's open all year round except when some truck is parked out front, or on zoom then might have to close it. Got 2 loads of laundry done this morning and now debating to clean bathroom of dustbunnies or not. They always congregate no matter what I do !!!
@Tabatha_Cain glad you had such a nice weekend, how was your day at work ? That's a good bible reading too eh !
@Kurtize - nice to have a haircut. I am holding off for a bit, not sure what I want and what would suit this old face old lady - don't wanna look doudy but don't wanna look like a young cut on an old foogie kinda thing. So wait I shall. I do prefer short - pixie short !! Hope you found your groove and became unlazy lol I am feeling that lazy right now actually.
@cormierannie sounds like you had a lovely time for the holiday, nice to get together with family eh ! Hope your day went well.
@Patti241 glad your day went well and hope today did too !
@Dianedoessmiles1 be happy and zoom if you need to, better then missing altogether - glad you enjoyed your chile, yes the biblereading this week, last week and next week are so exciting !! So much action in it !! No meeting for me tonight, as Saturday is streaming the C.A. woohooo. I am ready ! Well Amigo just upchucked and I gotta go clean it up... love his gifts... sigh....
if you all are having cooler nights, how about a nice fire in the fireplace and cuddle with your furbabes ??

@LindieMaeP - Like short hair to, pixie, she did an excellent job. I am 80 so I know what your saying. I looked at pinterest, found some I like and told her this is my idea, didn't want side shaved or anything too short. Here is a selfie

@Tabatha_Cain, Glad today is a good day!! LOVE THAT!! Did BF Dr. help? Or does he have tests to be scheduled?
@Patti241,, Glad the day went good!! A TRUE PLUS/PLUS!! WOOHOO!!!
@Cormierannie, , WOOHOO for such an enjoyable day!! YEAH!
@Kurtize,,, OH I LOVE A good haircut!! I have a friend who comes over to do mine. She doesn't work in a shop any more, but keeps up her business. She's semi retired now. She knows my hair now and does accordingly. My FAVORITE PART is she comes to my house and she does as I want!! Just saw your picture,,, it looks very nice!! LOVE YOUR SMILE TOO!
@lindiemaep ,,, NICE when we can wear a sweatshirt outside!! LOVING the cooler air!! My window has been closed at night and most days for a few weeks plus. LOL my heat is on now, not much, but it's on. I am so worried about so many here (and other places) with the heating fuel in Southern Maine, city area at to fill up a 250 gal tank it's 1,298$ This time of year that'll last maybe 2 months so til about mid Dec, but Jan through the end of March, they'll have to refill 2 more times, and again in March for April ,, plus more if they heat hot water with it, but propane isn't much better. If anyone knows of anyone who may struggle please let them know to reach out to 211 (In the US). Many elderly will NOT reach out without help. Of course on the News (which the elderly are more apt to watch) they always say "Check out our website" which is GREAT For many of us, but not all the elderly use devices.3 -
It's warming up again. 81 but there is a breeze. Diane, thank you and wow that is lots of money for gas, I am complaining at 3.19 (just recently, was 3.49, then went to 3.09 and is climbing again). That was one of the reasons we decided not to stay at our daughters, where they live the closest stores were 18 - 25 miles away, we spent lots on gas than.
Hugs all.

@Kurtize oh I love love love your haircut!! Now that might be what I want but I will know more closer to January and see what I have done. Right now I have not cut my hair execpt for bangs in 2 years and there is quite the growth - but I am finding since I wear it up and out of the way, maybe it is the best to have a pixie style cut - I am finding I hate hair on my face LOL and the wind always blows it onto my face lol! Thank you for sharing your selfie !!
@Dianedoessmiles1 our heat is included in our rent but if we lost power or the furnace went out, we would definetely feel the cold and close the windows. It honestly gets too hot in here in the winter time as it heats up based on how cold the basement is, not the rest of the place. There are 2 apartments in the basement and they get colder faster then the upper floors, so the heat is now on for them and I well understand as if I was in that suit I might want the heat on too. The only time I appreciate the heat being on is when I step OUT of the shower bwahahahahaahahahahaha..... we have a lot of homeless living in tents here especially the downtown core not far from where my daughter works. It is sad, but they have these tent cities popping up all over and they have their own set of rules and laws and lots of violence there too. Not safe... I stay away from those areas. One of the reasons I like Marpole, it's too far away from the downtown core to be living in a tent here ! Some have tried but stay more downtown. Sad state of a world we have ...f or now ... it's strange not having a meeting tonight ! But I'll find something to do lol2 -

Good Evening Everyone!
It's been a busy weekend! But trying to catch-up on everything. I have skimmed through the posts. Happy Belated Birthday to anyone I may have missed over the weekend while I have been MIA. Hugs and prayers to those who need or want them.
Saturday - went to work at 7:30 am to decorate for Thanksgiving for the residents. Then finished making cranberry sauce and Dreamwhip for Thanksgiving. Also packed and headed to my sister's. In the afternoon we went to my SILs surprise birthday party.
Sunday - Had breakfast at my sister's then we all got ready and headed to my brother's for the big Thanksgiving dinner. Had lots of food and great company. This is a picture of my one cousins son. He is a few months younger than the other one that I spent time with over Labor Day weekend.
Monday - Was Thanksgiving Day. Slept most of the morning. Went to work in the afternoon. We served the residents at the tables. They had turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, stuffing, sweet potatoes with walnut topping, cranberry sauce and pumpkin or apple pie with whipped cream topping. They enjoyed it and lots took their leftovers with them instead of throwing them out.
Today - Rest, weigh and TOPS day. Lost 2.75 lbs! Not sure how with only 3 days not over in calories, minimal exercise and water. But I will take it and try to keep it going in the right direction. Made the residents Sheppard's pie, salad, soup and jello with whipped cream topping. Another winning dish with them although several residents didn't show for dinner. But when you can please the picky eaters it's a great day.

@Kurtize tonight on the news they are really urging people to lock in now, sadly some can't afford to.
@Lindiemaep ,, maybe a combo of the cut and what else you like? The hair away from the face? Our heat wasn't turned off I am quite surprised!! But, being a 55 Plus could be why. I am also so glad our heat and lights are included in the rent!! Sadly most places are pay for your heat and lights. In Portland the tent cities have popped up all over the place. What can people do? We know why though.
@Bookienj,, AGREE!! TOTALLY AGREE!! Such a waste!! I was pretty upset cause I was going to do my herb butter, wrap them each in foil, and roast them! YUMMY STUFF!! LOLOL I still want some!2 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 I really like my hair as it is in this picture and may go back to this cut. The young man standing next to me is my son Gene, and the picture was taken on a ferry to Victoria Island - I forgot I had this ... YUP we know why indeed.

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is going to be a good day. BF goes to his doctor appointment today about his gut issues and we should find out what to do and how to proceed in the future. We are not sure if they are going to do more testing or just let it be since his gut is improving. We will find out today. My job is going really well. There is so much my boss is letting me do.
@cormierannie - Glad you were able to see family. It is always good to see family.
@Kurtize - I felt lazy this morning too. I did not want to get out of bed. Enjoy the new haircut. I bet it looks great.
@LindieMaeP - Having nice cool nights is great until it gets super cold. Way to go on getting 2 loads of laundry done. I need to get my bathroom cleaned up too.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - BF goes in today to see the doctor. We will find out if he needs any further testing. He had a colon resection done 15 years ago so who knows what might need to be done.
@CSEGUIN2 - Sounds like you are liking your new job. I think you make lots of people happy with your cooking. I think you lost all the weight because you are moving around more at your new job.
Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you all have a fantastic day
Tabatha2 -
Good day all, it's hump day or Wednesday. I have a full day of work a head of me. I'm crossing my fingers that my daughter will get up and go to school without issues. Her anxiety is really high right now. I'm thinking that I need to call her doctor again.
I got a short walk in last night. I am trying to increase my step count.
@Dianedoessmiles1 I was not in the service. My hubby was way back in the late 80s early 90s, before we met. He did spend some time out here but mostly in Wainright, not Edmonton.
