Lisa - Kaitlyn and Brodey are one of the best couples I know. It’s not that they haven’t had some issues throughout the years but they have such a respect for one another’s feelings and have learned to talk things out. They have been together since they were 18 in 2009. MRI’s- I am a bit claustrophobic and closed my eyes…

Kylia - I watch a lot of prerecorded shows so I can pause, rewind. We have the option to also pause live tv as well. I would be grateful for that generator as well. Rita - I think you chose a perfect time for a puppy too. Heather - Kaitlyn has suffered from panic attacks since she was 9 years old. She has said that when…

Pip - the biggest hugs to you and Kirby. Yogi will be missed. Tracey in Edmonton

Heather - Thanks for taking me into a story about your grandmother and your relationship with her.It’s certainly a different outlook most times when looking back as an adult. I love those sundae bowls. Pip - I’m sorry you had to make that decision. Hugs to you and Kirby. Annie - My first thought was “why wouldn’t Annie…

Debbie - they do a baseline bone density here at 50, then every 5 years. I have to start being more consistent with my Vitamin D and Calcium. I hope your sister is able to stay longer in the hospital. Does she have children? Heather - when I’m feeling anxious the quiet soothes me unless it’s soft music I grew up with.…

Heather - I would have to keep that white set as well. It’s so pretty in its simplicity. My country raising is going to show: I see the vase, I assume the jar for powder, but what are the three covered dishes for in your grandmother’s dressing table set. Kylia - I wouldn’t like the car to drive for me either. I don’t even…

Machka - you have such a well laid out day.I find with projects and stuff I do better if I do one at a time, maximum two. I used to try to do a lot at once but I can’t do it anymore. Heather - So happy for you that your DIL chose the tea set. Lisa - I think I need to take some lessons in budgeting from you. I’ve quit doing…

Rita - this made me think of your post endings

Heather - I hope John’s mind eases soon. It’s so tough dealing with. We don’t have the White Company here, but looks like we could order from it. Love that he surprised you with a gift. I love the trinkets you’ve chosen to keep. I have a few cups and saucers I don’t want to get rid of, they live in my china cabinet.…

Rori - I loved the Beach Boys too. My daughter and I saw them a few years ago here in Edmonton. I think you have a wonderful part time job. Heather - I can’t wait to see your painting, I have faith that it will be as you imagined. Annie - I would tell my Mom to if she asked if my Dad had passed. I wouldn’t bring it to her…
-
Lorna - I really love the photos your DH took. Machka - He does have a job now, he even got some retro pay from last year. Things what caused the silence last night, I wanted to use that money to get caught up on bills, he feels he earned it. If he would just sit and look at the bills once this wouldn’t happen. He refuses…

I have read posts sporadically since Friday. I find it hard to keep up with notes when I do that. Mo - thank you for your insight regarding my daughter. I don’t know what their next plan is. The first thing will be coming up with money. They had a GoFundMe last year and that paid for this treatment. They have been saving…

Machka - you’re doing so well with your goals. I enjoyed L.M. Montgomery’s, “The Story Girl” more than the Anne of Green Gables series. My grandmother read it to me over a few weeks when I was staying with her while my Mom was away with my brother who was having a series of surgeries. Maybe that’s what made it more special…

Heather - The next place I want to spend money on is our bedroom. Maybe next year.I think if you can afford the 12” stand you should get it. I can’t leave things in place for a long time. I move them around, I’m finding here that it’s just the trinkets and decor I can move. Storage is at a premium. The table looks lovely!…

Lorna - My husband’s family would be in Houlton if they walked back far enough on their property. We shopped more there than in Woodstock at times. Small world. Barbara - I didn’t get to see the Aurora Borealis last night because it was still light when I went to bed. I don’t know if I’ll be able to stay awake tonight…

Machka - Much of the younger generation here uses their phones to tap to pay as well. I personally have started using more cash lately. It actually makes me more conscious of what I’m spending. Also, how can I sneak a little to the grands without cash. Tracey

My grad was today. My family came to support me and cheer me on, then Brodey and Kaitlyn took Rodger and I out for supper at Olive Garden. It was a terrific day. I tried to put the pictures in a spoiler but it refused to work. Tracey

Heather - thank you! Even though I’m not using my degree for what it was meant for I feel it’s been helpful. I haven’t worn a watch in years. I would wear one for a while and develop an allergy. I have my grandmothers I should maybe try it. I would have to take it in for a tube up and hopefully see if they could make the…

Mo - I don’t know if I could do 12 hour night shifts again, I guess if I was used to it maybe. Heather - I hope the earrings work for you. I was thinking this morning as I was putting earrings in that I miss some of the big 80’s earrings. I love moving things around I usually do it every 3-4 months. I used to move…

Amazon - we still have an account as it’s part of the bundle with our cable but we don’t make as many purchases as we used to. The prices have footed higher it seems. In saying that, they have been here 3 times this week but because I can’t find items in store for a reasonable price or the product at all. It’s the first…

Lanette - When my hip was bad I actually found the pressure of laying on my bed hurt so I bought a 2” foam mattress topper. A good quality one. It relieved the pressure and after about 18 months I realized the pain I was feeling then was more lack of support than needing the cushioning. I took it off and have done well…

Mo - I hope your men get something soon. Barbara - I hope you had a nice visit with your friends. Lisa - I hope you get all rested up and back to yourself soon. Beth - I had to Google how many miles were in kms. Your DH’s truck has about 15K miles less than mine. I’m trying to decide if I should try putting a bit more…

Ginny - I watched American Idol infrequently during the Simon Cowell years. I did see some because my daughters watched. Then I’m 2010 my Dad, who never missed an episode insisted I watch Lauren Alaina and Scotty McReery they both one and are now both members of the Grand Ole Opry. I enjoy both of their music now and think…

Lisa - I went looking for stick on vinyl tiles and the only place I found them here was at Dollarama. I didn’t like any of the colours and they wanted $5 for one tile. I ended up going to our hardware store and bought 5 porcelain tiles for 7.98!Thank you for the idea. Rodger built these little tables for me in 2005-2006.…

Heather - I hope you and John are back in sync now. It’s always stressful when we aren’t. Code switching - I had never heard that term before. Is that like an accent change or a whole character change? Or is it a colloquialism thing? When Kaitlyn was learning to talk Rodger was driving truck. He picks up accents very…
-
Heather - I am excited to see your new bedroom. It’s sounds divine. Machka - I’m going to try to watch those webinars. Barbie - Sorry that Annie got at the pillows. Have you tried a radio on when you are out? It helped my in-laws dog. I would miss Rodger too, I really do love him, but I’m tired of the misunderstandings…
-
Heather - that was a nice list to read. I agree that so many are just filling space. I think every season of our life has its own challenges.Sorry you have another UTI Mo - I hope you get good news about your DH’s interview. Machka - I had that, seeing someone in a different situation, scenario happen last week. It took me…
-
Heather - I had the same thought that our lunch wouldn’t occur.When I open a browser at work I see news and articles from all over. Today there was an article in Brighton. I thought of you. Kylia - Sorry your granddaughter is suffering a broken heart. I don’t miss those days at all. I don’t know why they do that to us.…

Allie - those pictures of you and Delia are great! Beth - I love the photo of you and your Mom. Lanette - Thanks! this was Michaela yesterday. Her and her Daddy went to the reptile expo. She is braver than I. She told me that snakes can be sweet, she didn’t think they were but after watching the videos on YouTube with…
