Heather - Happy anniversary!
Ginny - congrats on the new grandbaby.
Annie - hope things go well with the nurse. I can't imagine being in your position. My DH had the beginings of dementia when he died and I had my DD here to help. I still ended up with ulcers. Take care of yourself.
DGS and his partner arrived last night from Baltimore. They will be here for a week.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA7 -
Ginny--Congradulations on the new granddaughter.
Annie--Sending hugs and prayers as you work on this new normal for you and your mom.
Heather--Happy Anniversary.
Well it was a good weekend, just went by so fast. Others I wanted to say something, but have lost my train of thought. Have a great rest of your day.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE

Another great exercise, which I have trouble with, is a backwards lunge.
If you can do it, do it.
Also walking backwards.
Plus, when lifting weights, the downward part is the most important. I do try to pay attention to this.
It's a backwards world.

Kim - No worries, dear heart, I'm well aware that, unlike the pottery I made in my class, polymer clay is absolutely not food grade - and that image had a flawed perspective, I think. That basket is only four inches square. Nope, it's just another tchotchke, I'm afraid.

She works so hard keeping that place so pretty. The fact that its a 1875 home, is a testament to its toughness. My sisters in-laws family were hard workers. The house has a cool house, where all the canning etc were stored. Cinder blocks, and thick walls. I have looked inside, and all the darkness, and spiderwebs are what my nightmares are made of.😂
Its interesting that my idyllic place is my sisters, which was also a place of so much grief. My sister asked me a couple of months if Lee would ever visit with me. I was honest and said I couldn't answer for him, but with mostly me doing the Amtrak solo, probably not. The fact of the matter is my husband is not fond of dogs, cats, clutter, not having his own space etc. These are all excuses, but I know Tucker, my sister's Bernese mountain dog would probably not leave him alone.😂. Tucker's main goal in life is to please! But I felt sad to tell her. I have learned I can't force Lee into situations he is not comfortable in. I have to also support my husband, and not be one sided or another. It will just be my summer home.💖

Lisa - I'm not surprised Corey is forging ahead with the roofing project. He's that type of guy. Nice that the glass door will fit and with that big window, it will be a very nice addition. Can't wait to see it finished. Oh, and I'm like you not liking the feeling of the potting clay on my hands. Took a college class in it and that was it. Garden dirt I'm OK with but either wear gloves most of the time or have a bucket of water nearby I can constantly dip my hands into. And I'm getting the same way handling meat! What gives? 
Kylia - what a great family photo. Thanks for sharing it with us. And what a nice productive weekend. The socializing at each other's homes is a wonderful idea.
Annie - good luck with the home health care nurse today. Hopefully she'll see what type of help you'll need and not load you up with more things to do.
I'm remembering the stages I went through dealing with DH which were very small compared to what you have with both parents in mentally and physically challenged conditions. I think you are handling this much better than I ever could have.
Tracey - very, very nice decorations. How are sales at the shows generally - for everyone? Are people still spending money on decorative items and gifts? There have been several holiday bazaars in my area in the past couple weeks with some very nice looking items, I'm wondering if the economy is causing shoppers to cut back a little. I've purposely stayed away because I don't need any more "stuff" and some of the things are too nice to walk away from.
Rosemarie - sounds like you are having a great time at the beach. Thanks for checking in.
Machka - I ran across another type of dementia this morning - digital dementia. Starting early with children on their phones and looking at screens so much of the time. Yikes!
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35164464/
More thoughts on our increased BMI as we age... the rabbit hole:I have been wondering why nature designed our female bodies to be healthier with increased weight after menopause. Is it because it's better for our bone health? Is it because our fat is storing vitamins like A, D, E and K which used to be hard to come by when food wasn't so plentiful? Is it to have reserves in case of sickness as our immune systems aren't as strong anymore? Why did nature keep us around when we no longer could procreate - help take care of the grandkids while their parents were busy hunting and gathering? Does nature need our experience and wisdom? And so forth. We can ponder these when we are gathered together some day on back porches. When I get a chance I'll poke around on the internet and see if someone has come up with suitable answers for some of these questions.
Make it a good week, ladies!

Regarding the digital dementia ...
All the more reason for me to spend time walking and cycling outside, and to spend time in the garden. 😀

I contacted our old lawn guy and offered to pay what he wanted to get rid of the leaves at BNL's place and he said they would. I will check tomorrow.

Got this picture today. Lights are bright because she will be one of buckeye babies during this weekend's game.

Yesterday did a 30 Minutes to fitness DVD then took my walk then to WalMart and to buy gas. Came home and made chocolate chip cookies for Vince, the pumpkin pie, chocolate dessert, sweet potato casserole, and kafli for Thursday. Thank goodness for the freezer!.
Went to see TSO in concert. At one point they had this female singer inside a globe. I’m still trying to figure out how she got there. Maybe it was a hologram? That’s the best I can think of
Rebecca and Tracey – I sure hope I don’t get vertigo because that could be an indicator that the tumor is growing
Debbie – we have a sign in the house “if you want the best seat in the house, move the cat”
Welcome Luna! You are soooooo adorable
Rita and Lisa and Allie and Rebecca – hope you feel better soon
Monday today: didn’t go to bowing, worked some on putting out the Christmas decorations. It’s supposed to rain in the a.m. but by the time I get home from work it should be cleared up so we’ll probably put out more decorations
Barbara – when I make fudge, I’ve never had a problem freezing it.
At Work Sun. the manager asked me if I’d gotten this red t-shirt, then she asked me what size I was. When I told her, she said that all they sent were large and that I should wear the one she gave me on Monday. So today I asked the assistant manager if this was a new BK policy. I told her that the shirt I got didn’t fit. She said that it’s for a new promotion BK is doing (no idea what it is) and that since I’m not there even at lunchtime, not to bother with the other shirt. So I returned it to them.
Heather – happy anniversary
Lisa – when we do the ceramics, anything that you are going to eat off of or drink from or put outside, has to be clear glazed. Is it the same with pottery?
Jess would sort-of like us to refer to Colby as her partner. I just have a tough time with that because to me, calling someone a “partner” implies that they are gay. Which isn’t always the case. I guess it’s just me.
Unfortunately, since I fractured my foot a few years ago, the MD said that I shouldn’t do any lunges as that puts pressure on a bone that it weak as it is. Haven’t found a good modification, tho
Michele NC4 -
Michele - The slip that you pour into molds is essentially a liquefied version of the same clay I was using to make hand-thrown bowls and trays, so the short answer is "yes," it has to be glazed before being used with food or being placed outside. The small basket was something I made out of polymer clay and cannot be made food-safe, according to the manufacturers.2

Jake called me this morning and asked me to come home early from my walk. He had some chest pains and had taken nitro and wanted me there in case he needed to call 911. A second dose of nitro and resting in his chair did the trick and he is OK but I missed getting the steps I needed to reach my goal. So later when Jake was taking his nap, I "forced" Annie to take a long walk with me so I could get more steps. It turned out good for her because she got treats for all her good behaviour (coming when called, sitting, staying close to me, etc.) and she got to meet some new people. I got the steps and she was tired when we got home and got right in bed with Jake and gave me an hour of not having to keep an eye on her. Our Thanksgiving dinner began today with a serving of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. The turkey is slowly thawing in the refrigerator. Barbie in NW WA 10

Heather - Happy Anniversary to you and Johnny! I’m sure it was wonderful.
Kylia - I’m so glad you had a great weekend. You so deserve it.
Lanette - I have been doing show for 6 years now, although none in 20 or 21. In 20 they were all shut down and in 21 since I worked in the home I decided it wasn’t safe for me to do. I didn’t want to risk the residents.
In saying that, I found this to be a good one this past weekend. I have been at some shows where I didn’t even make my table money back. I never spend more on a table than I’m willing to lose, but still it sucks!
My most expensive ornament is $10 and I am selling my house sets, radio and lanterns for $25. I did give a lady a deal on the one house set on Saturday. She came by looking at it a few times and when she finally asked how much, I told her $20.
My ornaments are bought because they are all unique and I add free personalization on the spot. A lot of parents and grandparents buy them for the yearly ornament. I also give a deal if you buy 3 you get a deal, so it’s affordable.
I have 3 more sets ready for this weekend. I’m hoping to get 2 more done, but they are a lot of work.
I really enjoy the crafting more than the selling, but you can only craft so much for yourself.
Lisa - that basket weave is beautiful.
Rebecca - are you planning on going to your sisters again in the summer? DH doesn’t like doing much outside the home I have told him I have no interest in sitting home day after day watching tv. I told him I love him, but it sucks that he married an extrovert. He used to be more into doing things though, so it was a shock to both of us I think.
Ginny - what a sweetheart!
Barbie - glad Jake is ok, scary. Annie may be more willing to walk now.
It is past my bedtime. I fell down the YouTube rabbit hole watching musical performances.

You catch a glimpse of her here. It wouldn't be at all difficult for her to get in there. There are several options.
Jess would sort-of like us to refer to Colby as her partner. I just have a tough time with that because to me, calling someone a “partner” implies that they are gay. Which isn’t always the case. I guess it’s just me.
Michele NC
Here, many people will refer to a couple as partners because we have no way of knowing the status of the couple.
All sorts of people refer to my husband as my partner ... as in, "How is your partner doing these days?"

Today’s gratitude: Joe said “I know what you can get me for Christmas, a bench for the powerline meadow.” Amazing as he usually wants nothng for and to do with the holidays. Showed Joe 3 possible garden benches, liked the one he chose Then he said “we can sit on it together and watch the ocean.”
Heather the very happiest of anniversaries to you and Johnny.
hearing your stories read to the next generation.
Rosemarie so glad you had such an enjoyable trip.
Kylia thankful your DED has a dog sitter with nerves of steel. When I was about 12 a family friend taught his daughter and me gun safet and how to shoot a 22 rifle. Still remember being surprised by the “kick”. Sunday socializing and sending the men off on their own, do they stay together? Sounds like a good way to sneak in some socialization for the guys too! Thinking of Machka’s dementia causes posts. . .
Annie
and just ((hugs)) Really hope your Mom will accept bathing and other help from the home health nurse.
Lanette love your questions and how you think.
Margaret I’ve always carried too much around my waist. There are pictures of me as a skinny legged child with a pot belly, not quite kwashiorkor but . . . Hope your MD has some next steps to help with your breathing.
Rebecca your sister’s place is beautiful! Sure hope her riding mower is a mulcher. . .
Debbie, Lisa, Michele Thanks! Do you freeze the fudge before you cut it into squares? Any special wrapping?
Lisa looks like Egg put her foot down. That’s enough writing for now!
Sue, yours to Annie. Truth that.
Vicki so glad you had a good weekend, you deserve it and many more.
Rebecca “ But I felt sad to tell her. I have learned I can't force Lee into situations he is not comfortable in. I have to also support my husband, and not be one sided or another.” Yes this. Took me a very very very long time to come to your wisdom and still sometimes grieve Joe’s absence from social gatherings, but have to respect his boundaries/comfort level.
Carol fingers Xd for the leaf removal.
Ginny what a cute little bug-in-a-rug Luna is!
Barbie thankful Jake is OK. Love the good for you both long walk with Annie. Treats, positive behaviors and interactions and best of all her nap with Jake
Tracey Rodger and Joe could be brothers from another mother. I’m a half intro and half extra, an ixtrovert? Need time out and about with people, then quiet time at home to recover :laugh:
Machka agree. I use “partner” when I don’t know if a couple is married or not.11/20: Move: ZERO sets PT , line dance class, dogs to powerline, Steps:8254Time to snooze. Need to get up early to get PT exercises in before MD appointment. Hope s/he has something helpful to say about right leg pains… ;}

I love to look out my window at Orion before I go to bed. It was so clear last night in the southern sky.

I often go to things without John. He is not keen on family socialising, especially with my brother's family. Nor does he come with me to see my son in Nottingham. I used to resent him not coming to weddings and funerals, but now I prefer to go by myself, or with my son, rather than be worrying about him not enjoying himself. We are two separate people.
Barbara - I think it's called an ambivert. That's definitely me. I need LOADS of recovery time.
Tomorrow John is out for lunch with his cricket friend. I might see if I can do something with the kitchen cupboard door, if I can find the right screws. For some reason, only the bottom hinge set are there. I have an idea of adding gorilla glue.
Tomorrow night is French Circle. A bee keeper in France is giving a lecture. I thought of Machka! We will be tasting his honeys, collected at different times of the year and he will be selling his produce. Unfortunately, I am not that keen on honey, and only use it in cooking. I learnt the French for hive - which I didn't know before - la ruche.
As DH is out for lunch, we will have a snack tea before we go. I have one portion of a chicken and spinach curry in the freezer I can eat for a substantial lunch. Probably eggs for tea.
I'm taking my sequinned dress, that I bought from Amazon for my 70th on a cruise, to the charity shop today. I haven't worn it since, and I now can't squeeze into it. It's just hanging there, reproaching me. A bit sad, but it's reality. I don't think I will be getting back to that weight. It's the right time of year for them to sell it.

Regarding the use of partner-it has become more and more common. Michele-I think it is really good that Jess feels comfortable enough to express her preference to you. That's hard for a lot of children and speaks well of your relationship and her character. With many couples living together today instead of marriage it signifies a commitment. After a certain point/age, boyfriend and girlfriend just sound awkward.
Tracey-my mother did craft shows a lot. She would make quilted Christmas skirts, hand towels, and other things. Also sold different glasses, etc. It was a lot of work. I am not certain how much money she actually made but after she retired, she and her only brother reconnected and went to them together (he sold baseball/sports cards) and it gave her socialization so it was good for her.
Barbie-glad Jake is ok. Also good to hear he will let you know when he is concerned. My husband always said nitro gave him wicked headaches.
Barbara AHMOD-well Joe just continues to be full of surprises. That is a really cool gift the two of you will enjoy. Sweet way for him to express wanting to spend more time with you.
Regarding the singer in the globe, easiest way was probably a trap door below stage. Very common. Like Machka said there are a variety of techniques.
Sue in WA-enjoy your visit with DGS and and partner.
Heather-happy anniversary.
Annie-do you have any sort of medical power of attorney (or other type) over your parents? The medical staff may not share everything with you without it. Being a home care giver is exhausting work and there will no doubt be "more jobs" for you. Unfortunately, our home health care system in this country still leaves the majority of the work for the family. Does she have a nephrologist for the kidney disease?
Last full day of work this week is today. I will be on call tomorrow afternoon but have a hair appointment and podiatrist visit. I am going to try to get podiatrist to X-ray foot (haven't had one for nearly two years). Want to confirm there is is nothing but arthritis. I am also bothered in that the followup we discussed has not occurred. They were supposed to check with me getting injections for the foot arthritis but it has to be coordinated through insurance and physical therapy-I have heard nothing. I am going to start looking for new foot doctor close to where I will be moving later next year.
Take care all,
Ginny in Ohio

The charity shop was delighted with my dress and immediately hung it up behind the desk! I had walked a bit further to get to the more upmarket shop, so I was pleased with the reaction.
Also bought things John misses when he shops. The artisan bakery does incredible focaccia.
Forgot ice cream though. I'm addicted to affogato as a dessert in restaurants, but it's proving difficult in the small stores round here to buy posh vanilla ice cream, like Hagen Das, to make it at home. Every other flavour but ...... (I do love salted caramel though )
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx4 -
Good morning ladies,
Ginny - Luna is adorable, thanks for posting that photo. Good luck at the podiatrist today. Sounds like you've firmed up where your retirement residence will be.
Michele - you are the energizer bunny doing all of that cooking in one day. It's been hard for me to get used to calling anyone a "partner" unless it's in the business sense such as investors in legal partnership. That's what I think of first when someone uses the term. And yes, "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" when the couple is older seems awkward. "Significant other" sums it up in a way I can understand. That's what I'd probably say if I had a special guy in my life at this stage. Or maybe just "good buddy." Fascinating how language has evolved in the past 50 years, but then it probably has always been that way. I'm sure our parents and grandparents noticed the same thing.
Heather - gosh that was a beautiful dress, you looked stunning. But I understand, why keep it around. I went through the stage of giving way all my dresses and skirts several years ago. They were cute but no longer fit and just weren't comfortable because I'd have to wear panty hose.
Good riddance. And gals were wearing pants everywhere, even church and weddings. I have some nice dressy tops and call it good.
Now I'm curious about reverse lunges. I looked them up. I'd have to hang on to something because of my dicey feet but I can see how they'd be helpful.
Barbara - a bench overlooking the ocean sounds wonderful. Good for Joe! Like many of our husbands, my DH also begged off going to places with me as he got older. He was perfectly fine staying home and watching TV with the dogs while I went to parties or dinners out with couple friends. The other husbands there probably were jealous and wondered how he pulled it off. Glad to hear you'll be able to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal with your friend.
Rebecca - your sister's place is beautiful. It's good she can handle the equipment to keep it up. I'd probably just blow the leaves off the driveway once they have all fallen and call it good, lol. I still have leaves strewn all over the front yard where I blew them last week. My neighbor 2 doors down was mowing over his leaves for about half an hour yesterday, really mulching them down. It was 45F here with a stiff breeze coming out of the north so with the wind chill, it was probably around 40F. I thought - have at it, buddy. If it gets into the mid-50's again I might take the big mower out and mulch them if the soil isn't too soft, but then maybe not.
Barbie - glad Jake is OK. Yesterday after throwing Rosie's toys down the hallway for the 50th time, I thought I bet there'd be interest if I set up a small greyhound type track with a mechanical rabbit that dogs could chase to wear them out. Maybe $2 a minute, $10 minimum. Plus a little illegal betting on the side to help boost my retirement income, lol. I'd let Annie chase it for free.
Cleaner coming this morning at 9, and hour later than normal. I think she has PT for her plantar fasciitis or something. I'm slightly put out because it throws me off schedule. Then I remind myself I don't have to be anywhere so what's the big deal? And I enjoy her company so much, any time she wants to come by really is perfect.
So will close for now. Make it a good day!

Heather Happy anniversary! I love that dress! Someone will be happy to own it. When I thought of going to my HS reunion, I decided to not take DH. He agreed. He knows No one there. I might leave him at my brother's house with his wife and take my brother.
Barbie I hope Jake is better today. Good job for Annie!
Michele i called my DH my partner after the first few years of being together. Boyfriend didnt really fit after a few years. We have been together since 1994, but didn't marry until 2009.
Barbara At the Dairy shed the guys are at a table close by. Sunday night they went out to the barn to ralk cars and look at the 1929 truck that R and my DH are working on. We ladies stayed inside in the comfy living room. I too am like you. Part introvert , part extrovert. I think a lot has to do with empathy as well. I can quickly get overwhelmed by others emotions. I love Joe's gift idea and reason.
Ginny Luna is 😍! I can't believe that the Beavercreek Walmart has had another mass shooting! Such a sad state of affairs.
I have recovered from weekend. Got kitchen cleaned up. Still need to strip beds. Yesterday was an off day. Cloudy and rainy and cold. Talked to my DYD. Even if they hadn't already told me they weren't coming....they wouldn't be here this year. Son in law has tested positive for covid. Won't be baking cookies with that set of grands as DGD not interested and DGS works every weekend,
I am feeling better this morning. Better get a move on. Didn't hit step goal for past few days.
Congratulations!
Healing thoughts to all!
Encouragement to keep moving in a manner right for you at the moment.

Morning, all, from the pre-dawn chill of a fall morning in the Arkansas River Valley,
Heather - Well done on the dress! - I need to go ahead and give my wedding dress to a shop here, but I haven't been able to bring myself to do it yet. I'll gift it to my granddaughter the next time they visit, but only if she wants it. If not, I'll put it in the donation box.
Barbie - I hope Jake's better today, and well done getting a win out of the situation for you and Annie!
Ginny - Luna is a beauty.
Lanette - I buzzed around on the big mower on Friday to mulch the leaves in, but wasn't as dedicated as your neighbor. Just blew them up in heaps around the trees. Not as easy as it sounds, and had a LOT of leaf litter falling off me when I got in the shower afterward! Which reminds me, I have to get a propane tank swapped over and get the gas cans filled for the small amount we'll need them this winter.
Kylia - Is it worth buying fuel stabilizer for the winter for the mowers and the big walk-behind trimmer and the tiller? Figured you would know if anyone does. I know we need to get some for Corey's 1989 Ford pickup. We don't drive it nearly enough, and I need to remind him to do that this weekend.
Annie - Thinking about you. Hope it's going well.
Caught up, more in a minute.
Love,
Lisa

Annie, Thinking of you as you navigate your new chapter with your parents. Take it one day at a time. When my mother fell ill and needed care late in her life, my well meaning friend said to me, "You know, she could go on like this for twenty years." That was not helpful. It helped more when Jake said "Let's just take this one day at a time and come from a place of love".Heather, Happy Anniversary. You and Johnny really know how to make a celebration meaningful.Barbara, Jake and I are the opposite of you and Joe. Jake likes to go places and I don't. There have been times when he has gone on a weekend or week long trip without me and I have been content to stay home with the pets. I am capable of being charming and delightful in groups of people but am happiest alone or with one other person.Tracey, Your crafts are beautiful. I'm happy to hear that you are finding buyers. For years I went to all the craft fairs in town although I'm not a buyer but from time to time found something I couldn't live without. You are doing a great service to people through your beautiful work and finding a way to finance something you love doing. I have had less time to knit since Annie came. She requires a lot of attention. Also, I have to be careful to keep my knitting basket out of her reach so it's not always next to me for easy knitting. Fortunately, there is no deadline for finishing anything that I'm doing. Barbie in NW WA

Good morning ladies!
Barbie what a scare with Jake! Glad the chest pains got better. Does he see a cardiologist often?
Heather that's admirable of you to give up your fancy dress. My closet knows I could never, no matter how much sense it makes! I need to go diving soon for a bigger pair of jeans. Sigh!
Ginny I guess I need to find a nephrologist for mom. I looked once before, and most of them were way up north. This week we have the dentist and Thanksgiving. Next week is the primary care doctor. So we are making progress.
The home health nurse was good although not what I expected. I thought it was an assessment of the living environment, but it was an assessment of mom's health. She took vitals and reviewed medicine and filled out insurance forms.
My added task is that I have to take mom's blood pressure before her pills. It was hard enough to get the pills done. And the nurse wants me to pull up some of the rugs. Meanwhile my dad left his tools on the floor in front of the bathroom. He is such a goof.
And Ginny you asked about power of attorney. If my mom ever finished hers, it names my dad and not me. I know that is going to be a problem some day. My dad sits through these meetings looking serious but not hearing much. Then his dementia kicks in and his avoidance of hard topics. It's a mess.
So today my mom is still in bed, and Dad is out walking. He agreed before that he wouldn't leave the neighborhood, but now left a note that he is walking to the drug store across main street. He doesn't remember what his agreements are.
So I might as well have another cup of tea and enjoy the quiet. Have a great day, my friends!
Annie
