Hi everyone from chilly Saskatchewan. We have a busy week ahead of us with various Dr. appointments. I wish we could have made them on the same day but it is what it is! I am still enjoying the Christmas tree, usually leave it up until Ukrainian Christmas even though we are not Ukrainian. There are people around us who are…

Happy New Year to you all!!! Best wishes for a year of health and happiness! I will be back in 2011. Take care and keep smiling. Gayla :drinker: :heart: :heart: :happy:

Hi everyone from cold but sunny Saskatchewan. It was down to about -30 last night and didn't feel much warmer when I had to run a couple of errands today. I was thinking that the car heater wasn't working as my toes were so cold but eventually it warmed up! Supposed to be a cold one again tonight. We will be staying home…

Hi to you all from sunny Saskatchewan! Like Sandy, the cooklies have been calling my name. I am so glad that I did so little baking because between my dil's and sister I have too much hanging around. I have to get my low cholesterol diet organized so I know what groceries to buy. Neil started his antibiotics today for his…

Hi everyone! We have been busy the last few days. I think tomorrow will be a day of relaxation and NO cooking! Neil's toe is looking infected again so we may need to make a quick trip in to the Dr. and lucky Neil gets a massage tomorrow. I am wondering why I didn't make an appointment for one for me as well. Def. not…

Merry Christmas to all from the middle of the Canadian prairie! I wish you all peace and joy. I picked Neil up tonight to spend the holiday with us. He will be here until the 28th. Lots of family time the next few days. should be lots of fun. I am finally feeling better, those expensive drugs really did the trick! I hope…

A quick Hi to all and welcome to Deb. I am feeling a little bit better but Dave says I have been saying that every day and don't sound better. I actually haven't had a sleep this afternoon so I am thinking I must be getting better. I plan to get some wrapping done this evening so I know what last minute things I need to…

Hi everyone! I went to the Dr. today and I am now on antibiotics and hoping in a day or two I will start to feel better. We went in to the city early enough to do a very little bit of shopping and by the time I was done at the Dr. I was pretty much ready for a sleep, which is exactly what I did curled up in my big chair. I…

Hi everyone! We had a little more snow today so it is looking very white. I am still not feeling great. Dave says it is time to see the Dr. I do plan on calling tomorrow. I really am tired of coughing and I really need to get a bit of shopping done, gifts and grocery. I will take my list and do what I can tomorrow. If I am…

Hi everyone! Sorry for not being around. I haven't been on the computer much as I have been sick. I thought it was just a cold and stupid me didn't mention it to the Dr. when I was there Thursday. Now it seems to be bronchitis (always my weak spot). I believe that I have coughed up a lung (at least). I am a little…

Barbie -- Your dinner sounds yummy! You are wise not to fret over a gain that you know will quickly go away. I meant to mention what a lovely looking family in your picture. Marie -- I get my nail Recovery at the salon where I have my manicure. It seemed a bit expensive but the stuff last a long time. Sleep well. Gayla

Hi Barb! I know nothing about what nail strengthener Sandy and Gigi were talking about but I use Amoresse Recovery and it seems to work very well when I remember to use it regularly!! It also gives a nice healthy shine to the nails even without polish. Take care. Gayla

Hi everyone! We are happy to be staying home today. We watched a movie this morning so I have neither my baking nor my wrapping done. I do have to make a list of things that I need to get tomorrow when Dave isn't with me. I can't begin to catch up with everyone but I will check in with the latest posters. For those who may…

Hi everyone! We were in the city shopping and were on a roll when we left the underground mall parking to find freezing rain. We decided to stop shopping and come home before the highways were not passable. We had a nice dinner of bran flakes for me and oatmeal for Dave. It felt like something my in-laws would have done…

A quick Hi from Saskatchewan. We had a nice day today (about 16F) with the most fluffy snowflakes. Of course we had a Dr. appt. for Neil, the ortho. surgeon this time. His toe is infected (neil's, not the Dr.'s) so he is on antibiotics and by this evening his toe is already starting to feel better. In January Neil will…

Hi everyone from very cold Saskatchewan!! I did want to let you know about Neil’s appointment with the neurosurgeon today. Neil expressed himself very well with his whisper and hoarse voice. One of the things he said was he wanted to sing Christmas carols. I was so proud of him. The Dr. expressed how sad he was that this…

Hi to everyone! Sorry I didn't pop in yesterday, not sure what happened. The news from Neil's ENT doc. was that there is no change. The vocal chords are still completely paralyzed. We told him we would go anywhere and he said that he could fix them but wanted to hear from the neurologist first and wait long enough for the…

Hi everyone! Well, I made a major boo-boo today!!! Neil's appointment isn't until tomorrow!!!It wasn't until after we picked him up that Dave started putting things together and said he was sure the appt. should be on Wed. I called the clinic and sure enough he was right (don't you just hate when he is right!) so we spent…

Just a very quick hi. I had a running around kind of day and then sat and watched our sit-coms with Dave tonight (date night). :laugh: My sweet Neil had a bit of a rough weekend so I was ready to de-stress. It is so hard for him to not drink beverages like everyone else. He is tired of the thickener, don't blame him a bit.…

Hi everyone! I got my groceries for dinner tomorrow, a lovely Prime Rib (the pressure is on to make it as perfect as it deserves to be ). We will have with the beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, brussel sprouts, caeser salad and of course, birthday cake for dessert. I think I will make a cocoa and cream cake. I know it is not…

Hi to all from chilly Saskatchewan! I am late (of course) but Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate. I can understand your concern, Barbie, about the Latkes’ getting out of hand – mmmm! So good. All those rich desserts would surely be a downfall for me. What is the significance of chocolate coins? Dave went out for lunch…

Happy December to you all. I love the Christmas season (but not the shopping so much). I have to get some lists together today so I can get a start next week. We have a puzzle on the go here and Dave just came in from outside and asked if I had finished it yet. I guess I should get at that. We will need the dining room…

Hi everyone. Bedtime but I wanted to drop in and say hello. Connie -- I hope your husband has a restful night and that tomorrow things will start to look better. I also hope that you get a little sleep as well. It is wonderful to have your daughter there to support you both. I will remember you all in my prayers. Take…

Happy Birthday, Gigi!!! I wish you a wonderful year of rest, relaxation and whole lot of fun! Hi everyone from snowy Saskatchewan. I must remember to take some pictures by the river when we go into the city next week. It is so beautiful and just a walk across the street from the restaurant my son is at. Neil objected to…

Hi everyone! We brought Neil home today so I have spent the entire day with him, watching TV and reading and visiting. I have been enjoying my Christmas music the past few days. I have so many CD's that I have to start early or I would never get to enjoy them! One of my favorites that I am listening to now is Sarah…

Hi from sunny Saskatchewan! I hope you all enjoyed your day yesterday. Like Sandy, you wouldn't catch me near the stores!! I see pictures on TV and it is far too crazy for me. I am just at the thinking about what to get people stage. It has really warmed up since yesterday and by evening yesterday the roads were very icy.…

Ok, back I am!!. It just decided I had written enough and kicked me out. The thing with the tickets is that after I bought them and went to the car I realized that it takes place while I am in Victoria!! Now I will have to find someone to take Neil to the concert. I think Quinn will be my best bed although Thursday is…

Hi everyone! We had to take Neil in to an appointment today to get his new shoes fit. It is still in the prototype stage but at least they are working on them. They were held up waiting for the swelling to get out of Neils' foot. We took him out for breakfast and he had his favorite pancakes. He really needs some new…

Hi everyone! What a lot of posts since I was last here and so many great pictures. It seems longer than 2 days ago. I worked yesterday and then went out for dinner with friends. This morning I got up to -30 and there was Dave outside shoveling the sidewalk. What a trooper! I haven't stepped outside even though I have a few…
