Hi to you all from sunshiny Saskatchewan. We are enjoying gorgeous Autumn weather after a couple nights with frost. My eyes are still a pain in the , well, I guess eyes!! I have been on steroid drops for the last several days but don’t really see any difference. Neil had a couple of meltdowns over the weekend but all in…

:heart: Hi everyone! Sheesh!! I just typed in my little personal notes using Word and now I can't find a way to paste it here. I am not sure what happened to my toolbar. I will save it and get Dave's help tomorrow. Signing off frustrated!! Gayla :huh:

Happy Birthday Irene!! I hope you have the most wonderful day! :flowerforyou: :heart: Hi to the rest of the gang! Dave and I are alone this weekend. Neil had a couple of activities so he stayed at his home. He did call several times as he was re-thinking his decision. I was strong and he ended up staying and having mostly…

Oh Gigi, my heart is breaking for you. You and your dear Mother will be in my prayers tonight.:heart: I can really feel the coolness in the evening air. Fall is certainly here. My sister and I spent several hours together today watching the final men's tennis match in the US Open. What a game! Maybe now I can get something…

Hi friends! It was warm and windy today, glad we didn't have snow to blow around!! Actually, I am hoping it stays away for a few more months! Dave and I went out for Chinese food tonight, I know it isn't a good choice but it tasted great and I think we behaved quite admirably! I am tired tonight and plan for an early to…

Hi friends! I am back from visiting my Aunt and Uncle in Winnipeg. We had a very nice time. They are doing well, glad for that. We did a little touring and very little shopping. Of course, I had to get a shirt for Neil! Now it is time for bed. I haven't had a chance to read the posts yet but will catch up tomorrow. Hope…

Hi to you all. I hope you have all enjoyed the holiday weekend. Beautiful weather here. The family were all here for dinner last night and then for some games. Neil really loves that. Acually we all like playing table games so enjoyed that. I am madly getting ready for a quick trip to Winnipeg with my sister. We will only…

Hi everyone, wishing you all a wonderful September. I am more or less glued to my chair watching the US Open. There have been some very good matches so far. I did post yesterday but it got lost in cyberspace, my own fault but I wasn't up to starting over! Just a couple of posts for now and I will do more when I am sitting…

Hi folks. Sorry that I continue to be here so sporadically. I will try to improve. The US Tennis Open is on so I have been wasting too much of my time in front of the TV. We did take a run in to the city today as Dave needed some materials for the biathlon trailer that he is fixing up. (darn I hate the corrections this…

Hi to you all. I received a message from Gigi and sharing it here for her. "Since I got back from Italy, first taking care of the grand kids for almost 4 weeks and for the past two weeks I have been in Florida with my mother, she is very sick, I left two days ago and now she is back in the hospital, maybe I'll get back…

Hi to you all. We had a nice time at Neils' picnic. I got to meet the Mom of one of the other guys which was nice. We enjoyed burgers and salads.the wasps were a bit annoying but I hear they are worse in some areas, I remember the summer my son and dil got married in our back yard. The wasps were crazy. They ate the apples…

Hi everyone. I am just about to get ready to go to the dinner theatre. We will have fun for sure. I do think my eyes are a bit better, not perfect but some better. Can't ask for more. . . yet! I do not like the ointment at night as it prevents me from reading or watching TV after they are in the eyes. Small price to pay if…

Hi to you all. No change in the eye situation. I am hoping they will feel better tomorrow as I will be off to a dinner theatre. Marie -- I checked yesterdays temperature and turns out we were in the low 90'sF and that was raised a bit by the humidity. We generally do have a couple of days over 100F but yesterday was not…

Hi to you all. A great big welcome to the new folks, looking forward to getting to know you. I was back at the optometrist today. I did feel like my eyes were a bit better but he said they were a mess. Apparently the glands on the lower lids are plugged and oozing pus ( sorry, too much info) so he changed up my drops and…

Good afternoon, my friends! Time goes so quickly in the summer. We have been enjoying the annual 'Folkfest' the past couple of days and again later today. Of course we eat something at each country's pavilion. I think I did quite well or at least better than most years! We haven't decided if we are going tonight or not.…

Hi everyone. Life is good and we have been busy. No time for watching tennis today! Thinking about you all. Gayla :heart:

Hi everyone. Sorry I have not been around. I am busy watching tennis again, the Roger's Cuo (Canadian Open). Dave is very busy helping the kids with their bathroom Renovation. Yesterday I made a big potato salad, coleslaw along with a ham and took it to them for dinner. It was very appreciated. Today I am vegging in front…

Hi everyone. I hope you are all enjoying a summer day. I wish you would cool down a bit, Marie, so that you could enjoy summer too! Phoebe -- yes, the baby shampoo really helps the dry eyes but if it gets away on me and I end up with infection I usually need antibiotic drops. When I am crazy enough to be around animals I…

A quick hi to you all. My eye is driving me crazy again tonight but I think it is likely related to spending a couple of hours at my sons tonight. I am very allergic to cats and they have two. I didn't take my allergy meeds prior to the visit. I would say 'that will learn me' but it has happened so often that I know it…

Happy birthday to you, Judy! Marie -- your room awaits! I think I will hear your shouts when the skies open up and give you a good soak. I didn't know that birds are so crazy about herbs. They have been enjoying themselves in my pots of parsley and Rosemary. They aren't doing any real damage so I left them. I may be sorry…

Hi everyone. Neil is home and had a mostly wonderful time. The fish didn't bite on his hook but he did get to enjoy fresh fish. One of his group home guys got very sick and was taken to hospital and is still there. Apparently he is improving so glad for that. Neil found the drive very long but then his patience is very…

Hi everyone. What a glorious day. My garden was crying out for water so I gave it a good soak. I did get a few groceries after my optometrist appointment. He concurred that I do have an eye infection and changed my drops. I am hoping it will be behind me in a couple of days. Other than that, life is good. I do miss hearing…

Hi everyone from sunny Saskatchewan. It was about 90F with a little breeze. Neil is off on his fishing trip. They don't have cell phone contact up there so haven't heard anything. This is likely the first day in his life that he hasn't talked to me. I expect he is having a busy and fun time. Marie-- please be careful with…

Hi everyone from hot Saskatchewan. Well, not Texas hot but hot just the same. I think it was 28C which is about 85F. It likely sounds like a cool day to Marie but it felt very hot as I sat in the sun watching tennis. I had taken some tylenol for a headache earlier and should have been smart enough not to go but I wanted to…

Hi to you all from sunny saskatchewan. I can pretty much tell the time by when my Northern Flickers show up in the yard which is a good thing as my watch stopped working. It is very strange that even though there are many other clocks in the house I still feel a a bit of lost! I had a very relaxing day. I did a bit of…

Hi from Saskatchewan. It was warm and sunny. There was rain around us but missed us. I have been enjoying watching the Flickers looking for worms and insects. We have 4 or 5 hanging out in the yard along with a variety of other birds, mostly robins, finches and purple martins. We also have far more dragon- flies than usual…

Happy Birthday, Phoebe. Have a wonderful day!

Hi everyone. The nighthawk is reporting in. We have had a pretty good day today. To my knowledge Neil has had only one seizure and the stimulator has been off all day. I will turn it on for a few minutes before he goes to bed which will be very soon. Hopefully we get some useful information tomorrow. Thais to you all for…

Hi to you all. We have sunshine in Saskatchewan. Dave has been out doing some grass trimming around the trees. I went out in my slippers and found the grass was very wet! I did check my garden and it looks very healthy. Lots of strawberries but none ripe. I didn't cover them this year and have a feeling the birds have been…
