Senior Golden Sneakers............November

Goodmorning Sneakers,

It has been rather warm here lately. in fact too warm for me. Sandy I am so sorry your sister is going thu all this pain. And being down to 100 lb thats not good. Hang in there Dear friend.

Becky how are you doing
Shirley good hearing from you everyday.
Barbie glad Jake made it home OK. Did you eat that chicken all up from him. ..I like to buy them for we usally get 2 meals and a big pot of chicken and dumpling out of one chicken. But last time I just roasted a chicken in one of those bags and it turn out quite well. In fact I have a pack of frozen chicken breast i will cook in one of those roasting bags. They are pretty good size I would say about a D cup.. Better get them out of the freezer.

HI SNEAKER PALS,
BUZZ_ I have lived in Egypt for over 20 years! I feel pretty much like it is home for me. Some days I feel like I live on another planet but other days it is just a normal day like any of you live. The for sure thing is I work myself to death every day at school and come home exhausted and ready to just sit and relax at night. The hardest thing about living over here is that I get some good friends that come with their husbands to work and after a few years they move on so my heart is constantly getting ripped out. I hate saying good bye. I do get back to the states every summer. I miss my family and friends that live in America too and miss holidays, especially Christmas.:happy:

MARIE - Lovely ragtime quilt. I have never seen one so beautiful. The ones that my mom makes are always made of flannel and when you sew them together and then trim and throw in the washing machine they really fluff out so nice and are the best to cuddle up with on a cold evening.

SANDY_ My sister went through chemo for a while, lost her hair, felt weak and all the rest. Had Breast Cancer . Had her breast removed but survived it all. She even had a blast wearing all kinds of wigs to cover up her bald head. She had such a positive attitude we all kind of wished we had cancer too. She made it seem so exciting. She loved all the nurses and I guess they had a good time with her every time she would go in for a treatment. My sisters in the states went with her to have the treatments. I felt bad i was so far away and had to just support her via e-mail. Be grateful that you are there to be with her. I am sure she loves having you around.

SHIRLEY_ I'd like to get a wii some day. It must be fun to do the exercises with the wii. They sure seem to have a lot of games and activities that you can use with it. Maybe some day I can get one and bring it back.

BARBIE_ Nice surprise to have Jake back home. Glad you and the pets are enjoying him.

BECKY _ what ages are your kids. did you enjoy the parent conferences. I have mine next week. Some parents are a joy to visit with.. others. ...well..... are not. :laugh: I am sure it would be great to visit with you.

O.k. had a bad migraine today. Could have had something to do with the long faculty meeting after school. We have way too many meetings at our school. Need more time to plan... and teach. My kids were so good today. We are learning about bones in the human body and they kids love science. Oh to be so curious and eager to learn like the little ones. so much energy too.
I did swim for one hour from5 to 6 and that gets me up and going every day. but I am way tired at night when it is finally time for bed. I sleep really good most nights. Bye Sneakers. Love ya all Phyllis

Just wanted to pop in and say hi! Finished sewing down binding on 12th turkey placemat on Sunday Now I need to add the beaks & wattles and french knots for eyes. Crazy busy week coming up, 15 people for dinner this Sunday. We leave on Friday to go to a basketball tournament & don't get back until Saturday night so I'm getting everything I can possible get ready done before we go. I'll get up early & bake pies and my Czech poppy seed bread Sunday morning. Gotta "waddle" back to the "wattles" :laugh: Will try to catch up with you all next week.

Enjoyed reading all the posts though Sandy's problems with DS & DH are worrisome. Good luck to all of your family, Sandy!
Phoebe, of course you were right; I did indeed think Becky had hit the wrong key, because I never knew a lady who logged! Quite impressive! Just as you are the second truck driver I knew who was a female, the first being my DD when she hitched cross country back in the days when one's life was not in danger hitching! In fact, as a youngster (late teens or so), I used to hitch out to the end of Cape Cod (Provincetown) which was such fun back then!
I went shoe shopping today, which I hate, having feet that are A at the toes, AAAA at the heels, and high insteps! But my Birkenstocks are no longer comfortable as I developed a bony protrusuin along the outside of my left foot. So I probably had a belligerent expression as I entered a "comfort" shoe store, and stated I wanted shoes that were not ugly old ladies shoes!...Not the best way to start with a shoe sales lady! Thank goodness DH was reading out in the car! After discarding about 8 pair of too wide shoes, ugly shoes, bronze shoes, you name it shoes,...the lady brought out 4 pair of shoes that fitted, looked decent, were comfortable and I grabbed them all. I hope I don't regret it! The gal was so relieved, she threw in a black evening bag as a gift!
Now I've got to run, as DH has the new Netflix waiting for my presence! So have a good evening, y'all.

Dallas, Texas

Buzz, my you have skinny feet! I,, like Barbie, go the wide way.

Marie, your tailgating Thanksgiving sounds like fun! Who knows, we might even be at home on Thanksgiving day. Then we could either go to Cracker Barrel, or drive to the family get together, about 120 miles away.

Sandy, here's wishing good luck with Babe today.

Nite all

Hi Gayla, good to her from you. I got what is called an aquatard, I think, at www.junonia.com
I liked it and felt less exposed.

hi Birdie! I have wii fit but I want wii fit plus. Do I have to buy the whole fit platform or just software?

If you have the platform, I believe you can just get the software. Good luck1

Birdiem

Thx Birdie for the info on wii fit plus. Im going to look when I get done here.
marie, so glad you found a good group of quilting friends. Dont put your talent down, your quilts are fantastic, and would be beautiful in any home. You made that list because your good at it!

We Hope to make it home by Thanksgiving, but we arent asking for time off. I never shop on 'black Friday'. I like to look at the sales though. We are up in KY. Now. We are supposed to load for CA., and they said 8am tomorrow, but now they say it might be tomorrow afternoon. We were going to surprise my brother by driving to his business and taking him to lunch. Oh well.
anyway, it means we might get home for Thanksgiving.
I hope the kitties are doing ok. They have enough food for a month. Water too, indoors and out. It rained there too, so I hope they are safe, warm, and dry. We have decided to go with the flow, and not worry so much about them.

Sandy, you deserve some rest, there will be plenty of time for exercise this winter!

I got all of the ingredients for Chris' weight watchers no crust pumpkin pie, now to go home SO i can make it! Im trying to resist pumpkin pie on the road, but it aint easy! Its everywhere! Pilot Travel Centers/Flying J Travel centers have Pumpkin Spice Coffee, delish and no calories, so I can add a little cream and splenda.

Stay warm
