Mo - I carry paint back and forth to ceramics. I bought a bag on Amazon that was meant to carry a Cricut machine. My DH cut a piece of 1/8” plywood to put in the bottom and I found three plastic baskets that fit side by side. It holds about 90 bottles but I couldn’t put another layer of baskets. I just don’t know if I…

Heather - I hope you find the trousers that you’re looking for. I find clothes styles so difficult these days. Mostly because of my size I think. Machka - Can anything be done for the Tinnitus? That sounds awful. Rebecca - I love dreams like that too. I just wish they would last longer. I could use some of their wisdom…

Terri - thank you! Heather - Yes! I find it takes away from the enjoyment and I love sharing the talent. 😂 I have found myself really compartmentalizing my projects. Ceramics, scrapbooking and stockings are only for family and close friends so I love doing them and don’t think I would want to try to sell them. The stuff we…

Terri - love your sketches. Machka - I agree about the chain hotels. My absolute favourite stay ever was at a place called Num-ti-Jah lodge near Lake Louise, it was beautiful, no cell service and no TVs. We really got to spend time together. Lisa - I have never really felt that way about food until the last couple of…

I used to love vacuuming and cleaning on a regular basis. I get so lazy now. It’s funny if I do clean Rodger asks me what he’s done, because I used to love a good mad clean. 😂 Machka - I guess a break isn’t helpful. Hopefully it all gets caught up soon. Bedroom - None of that stuff. I do need to declutter in there but it’s…

Machka - I hope you get a break soon. Heather - it’s always good to have something to look forward to. Mo - I admire you doing what you do for a living. I just couldn’t do it. Annie - February will be here before you know it. I can’t believe how fast the time goes. Lanette - My daughter has started meal planning and she…

Machka - will you be having a quieter November? Lisa - We are supposed to get snow tomorrow but it’s supposed to be +14 Thursday. Who knows? Annie - glad you’re feeling some better. Smart moving the matches. My brother had to remove them from my Mom’s house because she was trying to start her wood stove on her own. Lo and…

Rita - how incredibly sad. I hope the park learns some lessons in empathy. Beth - It’s funny how many of the residents complain about the entertainment but when they think no one is watching they are singing along, tapping their foot or hands in time to the music, bobbing their head or just smiling. I don’t know why they…

Barbie - I hope Jake is getting some answers and home soon. Thanks for the new month. I’ve been reading along but not taking notes. Tracey in Edmonton

I have read through and caught up but didn’t take notes. I worked all day, came home had supper and then worked on crafts for 2.5 hours. Now before you know it it’s bedtime again. It’s going to be a busy week. Tracey in Edmonton
-
Terri - That seems like a quiet week for you. Lisa - I think the biggest thing I need to do is take more breaks. It’s hard to do when it’s busy. Your house is looking wonderful. Annie - I hope you feel better soon. Allie - I hope you enjoyed your trip even with not feeling well. Beth - I shared this on FB the other day. It…

Heather - I agree about a shower after the baby is born. My parents had a stillborn and Dad especially never liked a shower before. I think now it’s more popular to have it before because everything is so expensive and that way the parents get a bit of help. Both make sense to me, but I told this young lady that her babies…

Heather - I love your “seemingly unrelated event”. Mine on my maternal side is. My grandmother was boarding at my great grandparents to teach school at the one room school house across the road. She quite liked my grandfather’s brother, but one Friday night that he was to take her to meet the train so she could go home for…

Terri - I noticed yesterday when I went for a little walk at lunch that the moon was visible. I thought it strange, but didn’t research anything about it. Heather - you are fortunate to get a plumber so fast. We are having trades issues here because there are too many projects and not enough people. I love that photo John…
-
Barbie - I hope they figure out what’s causing the issues with Jake’s heart. Margaret - I admire the way you eat and am so interested in how you feel now. Allie - Nice to see you enjoying the pool. I’m sorry you’re not feeling well. I hope that you soon get to enjoy it. How many days do you have left? Lanette - I try to…

I thought I posted this last night. I’m finding it hard to keep up for some reason. I’ve be reason I know is that I’m trying to cut back on my screen time. It’s a delicate balance of keeping up to date with all of you wonderful ladies and setting my phone down. Carol - The creature for my grandson is not my cup of tea…

I read through on Thursday night drying commercials while watching the new Matlock. I hope this I a very successful show. Tonight I watched the pilot of Georgie and Mandy’s first marriage. A sequel to Young Sheldon. I loved it. Mo - Happy Birthday! Barbara - what a nice blessing from heaven. You’ve been doing so well with…
-
Heather - thank you! I try to make what I decorate with be truthful. I love your new handbag. I’ve been struggling finding one I like for quite a while now. I did buy one at the thrift store a few weeks ago, but it’s not quite it either. Terri - I would love to see a picture of you from the ‘60’s and in costume this…

Machka - I find drinking lots helps with my leg cramps as well. I’ve never taken that much time off at once from a job, I can’t imagine the emails. Carol - your Granddaughter is beautiful. Beth - One of our new residents has a cochlear implant, she hears very well when her husband tries to ask any questions about her, she…
-
Heather - I find having one child more exhausting unless they are siblings. Michaela helps keep Aspen entertained and out of mischief, having either of them alone I have to be the entertainer. Jonah and Michaela I have to referee. Sorry you’re having painful sleeps that makes it hard to get through the days. Looks like a…

Mo - I could never do the job you do. What a blessing you are. The Northern Lights are dancing right now more than usual because of some solar flares and stuff happening. I was at ceramics tonight and missed the peak. Vicki - I’m so sorry about your job. Barbara - I think like me you have limited space. I think is storage…

Machka - we hoarded plastic bags here too, but we had a long transition period. Now we have the option of paper bags again, I do pay for them every couple of weeks, I use them to put my recyclables in until the bag is full then I just take it all out. I go through my closet and get rid of clothes I didn’t wear in the…
-
Heather - it was such a beautiful day yesterday in so many ways. They are so rare sometimes it seems. Beautiful shirt! I too want to start swimming again. I need to get that into my budget. Machka- I agree about keeping things that bring you pleasure. I have quite a few things actually. Barbara - I hope your pain eases…

Northern Lights tonight

Machka - Since Covid there are a lot of people leaving their outside lights up closer to the end of January now. It sure makes a difference with making the Winter seem a bit shorter. Wendie - Welcome! I’m struggling with finding my right mindset too after gaining back my loss. So frustrated with myself. Lanette - That…
-
Machka - lovely picture of you and your grandmother. Barbara - paper stacks is always a thing. I have managed to contain mine in a file folder box. I set most things to electronic these days. Remember the old letter sorters we had hanging, usually in a kitchen. When I painted years ago, I painted one that said bills, bills…

Heather - a lovely unexpected visitor. I love her sense of humour. Pip - it will be nice to enjoy your patio again. Debbie - I really feel for you and your husband what a miserable situation for all of you. My grandmother was a strong active woman well into her late 80’s. She weighed herself every Sunday if she weighed…
-
Heather - it sounds like a lovely day! Machka - were you in Canada again just now? I hope your family is ok. Lisa - that’s awesome that you’ve made the jump to thinking of Yoga as self care. I need to start thinking the same way. Allie - When is your cruise? It just be coming up soon isn’t it? Lanette - one old business I…

We couldn’t afford for our girls to be in a lot of activities. They were both in Sea Cadets. It was a program that actually paid them, it kept them plenty busy and taught them lots. Kaitlyn and Brodey met in Kingston, ON summer of 2009 during their summer program. Heather - sorry your brother is so ill. Hopefully a couple…
