I will continue to pray for your husband and for you. Hugs.

I did get most of the things on my list done- the last one got done this afternoon. We don't get many changes in the leaves on the trees- but we do on the grape vines- They turn amazing colors-part of the red in the leaves is from a virus but it is pretty.

My favorite cousin who I went to school with(he is 11 months younger than me) was at the reunion. Here is a picture of him and I- Debbie Napa Valley,Ca

Melanie- my sisters do not get along either. I am the middle one of us three girls and I am in the middle communication wise with them. I am also the most level headed of the three of us. So much so that in the trust, I am executor and if something happens to me, it doesn't go to either sister, it goes to MY husband-that…

Just a thought- for Christmas, maybe you can find a copy of your dad's favorite dictionary on ebay so he can enjoy it and not worry about it falling apart. Keep the old one in case he prefers that one. Yes, prices on pattern's are crazy. I remember paying like .79 for patterns but then again, I started buying them WWAAAYYY…

had a great walk with my friend- we did 3 1/2 miles. She brings her big choc. lab with us. Nani is such a well behaved dog- not like all the little yappy ones that were there tonight. Between them and all the kids(they do soccer practices there at that park- 6 or so teams practicing at the same time) so it was…

went to Hobby Lobby yesterday- picked up some McCalls patterns- didn't have a lot to pick from but that is ok. Need to actually use them now. Regular prices on patterns are crazy- a lady pulled a Simplicty pattern out that her granddaughter liked- $24.95!!! She put it back and started looking at the McCalls patterns.…

picture is a bit blurry- waiting for others to post their pictures- one was traveling back to Seattle and the other was going down to LA

The reunion went well- everyone had a great time. Got done about 9-felt so much later and then dh and I went back Sunday morning to finish cleaning up. I got over 10,000 steps just setting up and running around at the reunion. Was great to see old friends. A few of the girls I haven't seen since graduation. One I didn't…

Welcome Mandy in CA- from Debbie in Napa Valley, CA Happy belated birthday Heather. Tracey- the pictures are so pretty. We don't get a lot of the fall colors here-there are a few trees that turn but not many Mom rescheduled her appt. Wont be telling my sisters until after it is done. I will take her and then my best friend…

we are going to go up on Monday- have paperwork/time sheet for daycare girl to drop off up there anyways. BUT I can go on Hobby Lobby site and look at the patterns, write numbers down so it will be quicker than going through all of the patterns

mom called as I was getting ready for class(again) and said she has changed her mind, again and will be calling tomorrow morning to reschedule the MRI. She won't say anything to my older sister who was against her getting the test done. She knows it is the right thing to do. This morning, while dh was sleeping after…

sad to hear McCalls is going out of business- Need to check around and see if Walmart will be lowering the prices on the patterns there. Hobby lobby is 20 min away(I know, not that far) but can't make it up there this week or weekend- work and class reunion. Maybe we can go up Monday. Thanks for letting us know Debbie

well, mom called me last night as I was leaving for Zumba to tell me she had changed her mind, she had canceled her MRI appointment that was supposed to be today. She still has some concerns. I told her we will just let it go until after the holidays and then think about rescheduling it after the holidays are over. I don't…

when I walk Kobe(MIL's dog), I wear my fanny pack and run the loop for the leash on the strap of the pack- hands free and don't have to worry about him jerking the leash out of my hand and him running off There are quite a few cans to dump it in around the park and I have tossed it into peoples cans if they are out and…

thank you for that- I will let her know both of those things, especially the extra hydration

I have had an MRI (shoulder issue-ended up being Frozen shoulder)and if I ever have to have another one I will request they give me meds. I didn't know I was clastrophobic until I had one- It was terrible- I was shaking so bad that I had to put my hands under my thighs. When it was finally done, I had to hold onto the hand…

Still pages behind but I am catching up. I talked to mom for two hours tonight- At the beginning of the conversation she was really wanting to cancel the appointment but by the end she said she will see me on Tuesday morning, ready to get it done and find out instead of "putting her head in the sand". If there is…

my inlaws bought a used refridgerator back in 1964 and it is still going great

It always amazes me that some flowers have such amazing smells while others, same type, have basically no smell. Like my roses- some smell so strong while others barely any smell. The old fashioned carnations- I LOVE them, the new carnations kind of stink to me. The iris I have smelled are the old ones like my great…

very late with my comments about what I did as a kid- still 4 pages behind in reading. We lived out in the country, 10 miles from our little town on 3 1/2 acres. We raised all of our own meat(beef,pigs,goats, sheep, rabbits, chicken) and had an acre of garden so summer time was spent working in the garden when it wasn't…

love the flowers. I remember on our very first real vacation as a family, we drove down to LA to go to Disneyland and all the attractions there. On the way down, dad had mom pull over on the side of the road when he saw those little sunflowers. He wanted to get seeds so he could plant them at home.

I am still picking tomatoes- they didn't do great but there has been enough for me. I need to make some more pico. I have been saving seeds from some. Taking names on others to make sure I plant again. My favorite new one is a chocolate pear. It has really produced well. I need to be sure and save seeds from the ones that…

finally taking some time to check in- 5 pages behind.

Lisa- THANK YOU for sharing your story. Sounds so much like mine but I have put up with it longer.

Today is our anniversary. Nothing planned for us. Dh is going out to breakfast with his friend who is back in town for a few weeks from China. I have my daycare girl so will go walk the wetlands before getting her. I have my last aqua zumba class of the summer tonight. Dh asked son and his fiance to go to lunch with us on…

Talked to my sister yesterday- she is still in the care facility. She has finally gotten her voice back after almost 3 months BUT now she has Covid- she said it is going through the facility

I hope the rains hold off a few more weeks. We have our 45yr class reunion on 10/4 and it is outside!

I started buying sheets at the thrift store when I was making masks. I got so many nice, soft cotton fabric sets for really cheap. Most, if I remember right were $2-$4 for a set. The fabric is great and so much wider than regular fabric for sewing. I also made the skirt I wore to my dad's memorial service from two of the…

yes, it is about damn time!!! Not great but so much better than before. Yes, we are friends onFB Haha- I know many don't like okra- I have always had and loved it fried and mom's pickles. Had it in gumbo when I lived in Mobile,AL and LOVE that(need to make some again. Mine isn't as good but it is pretty close). Haven't had…
