Mom has power but no water, still waiting for generators to run the pumps. grateful for the generator to keep freezer and fridge cold. yeah for hair appointment today. I am beside myself with the outpouring of love in this…

Feeling beyond blessed

Hello all, home and relaxing from our opening weekend. And what a lovely time it was. Very small group this year and that made it even nicer in some ways. I cooked some great food but did not have to do dishes. Shared lots of laughs. Took a trip to our local Amish market, they have a furniture store, bakery and grocery. My…

Quick stop before heading to work. WI was a small gain but nothing compared to what I was expecting with my eating this past week. Have a plan for clean and healthy eating this weekend. Had a wonderful lunch with the girls, then hit Costco and Meijers, so shopping is done. All I need to do tomorrow is pack my bag, the…

Paula, I work at Joann fabrics. Been there for about 2 1/2 years. It is just for pocket money and the discount.

Bert, forgot to say my insurance has been extremely expensive since Edd retired so just paying the Medicare part B premium for the same coverage is a huge savings. I am going to set up a fund, with the saved money, for uncovered dental and vision costs.

Good morning to all who stop by and cyber hugs for all. It is an overcast and cool day. Perfect for hanging with Mom and staying in doors. Finally got my register training last night. We were super slow so I had time to ask all the questions I never got to ask at the other store. I feel much more confident that I can jump…

all signed up for my insurance and found a new Dr for me and Mom. She is not far from us and she is certified in sports medicine. all my Rx are covered and will be less than $5 each. I just need to find a dentist and vision center. $5 office visit. so I am all set. Paula, we will be at the cabin every weekend. usually…

Missing the lively chatter but understand life is busy for us all. I have lots to do to get ready for opening weekend at the cabin. Edd's brother and his family, sans the heinous SIL, have requested the upstairs for this one. My son and DIL will be on a bike trip with friends so this will be a low attendance weekend as far…

Hey all, where did this weekend go? Got my cards made for the class, 4 cards all prepped for the girls to stamp and glue. The liner for the wagon turned out great and the kids were pleased with it. I would do another but have lots of "better ways" to do it next time. Worked 5.5 hours yesterday and we were just steady, but…

Cindy, got your email and responded. Mom decided she really didn't want to go to the nursing home. My Sis understood and they will chat on the phone instead. I did drop by Mom's for a few minutes to bring her some milk and to make sure she was ok. I got my little garden planted, mostly. I put in 3 tomatoes, 1 cherry…

Hello and happy Friday. I am taking Mom to see my sis in the nursing home this morning. My sister sounds great. Is going to activities and getting therapy, she knows 2 residents at this place, from her last stay there a couple of years ago. They will have to wait until she goes home to do the sleep study. If mom is up to…

Oops, Paula, didn't mean to forget you. Wow, that place looks like a lot of work but for me it looks like fun. I love the process of tearing it all out and making it your own. Do pace yourself! Patti

Good morning dear friends. It is gorgeous here today and I don't have any commitments outside the house. I will finish the wagon liner for sweet Leo. Just have to add the Velcro to the tabs for attaching it and sew one seam shut. I want to paint the little desk I got for Edd (his paperwork for his handyman business has…
-
Happy Tuesday! My favorite day of the week. Got meatloaf made after I got home from work last night and a pot of chicken enchilada soup. That will give mom a few meals for her freezer. We will have some of the soup for lunch today. It is nearly zero points. Paula, sorry to hear Kati has been sick, how lucky she is to have…
-
Hmmmm thought I posted yesterday, guess not. Had a lovely day with Mom. Baked cod, fresh sweet corn and authentic Danish Kringle for dessert. My sis is doing so much better. I think they will let her go soon, she sounds great on the phone and they have not had to put her on BiPap at night so she may not qualify for a C Pap…
-
good morning, slept poorly for some reason but have much to do today. Lunch, hospital visit, pick up fish and flowers for Mom, make her a card and then dinner at the Eagles with Edd. would love to find time to paint the desk Edd bought so will try to squeeze that in before dinner if possible. Diane. you never cease to…

Good news here, my Sis is off the ventilator and doing so much better. I was able to spend a couple hours with her this afternoon. She is already going the nurses a run for their money. I had to caution her because her smart answers may cause them to think she is confused and that could lead to unnecessary testing and…
-
Bert, that is ridiculous! My gf has a 2 week old fridge and is encountering the same problems. She got it at Best Buy. At least they are going to reimburse her for the food she lost but they had to wait over a week for the repairman to come, which is today. I hope they insist on a replacement and not a repair. Seems good…
-
Good morning, it looks like a bad weather day today so am glad I got so much done the last few days. Asking for your prayers, my Sis is in the hospital and was moved to ICU this morning and is on a ventilator. They are not sure what is wrong with her at this point. She was confused yesterday but ruled out any sort of…

Very small loss but as long as there is a negative sign in front of the number I count it a win

Paula, glad to have you back but sorry you have been down all week. Do take care of yourself as you continue the remodel. Bert, enjoy your lunch. Nothing beats time with a BFF. Time for WI, lunch with the girls and then work. I got lots done yesterday. My car shines like a diamond now. Got all the downstairs windows…
-
Good morning one and all! Bert, so excited for you and Lindsey. will keep her ,and the little ones as they grow, in my prayers. I would think being released to her OBGYN is a very good sign along with returning to work. Totally understand how anxiety producing these next months will be. Janet, sounds like good Cinco was…

Hello, hello, hello! Hope everyone is doing whatever makes you happy. I have had a very productive and fun weekend so far. Got the cushions done and delivered but getting my machines to work correctly was maddening. But now all three are running perfectly. Birthday party last night, Mexican style, was a blast. So proud of…
-
Good morning, busy couple of days for me with work and trying to get the cushions made. Had major trouble with my upholstery machine and spent several hours just trying to figure out what was causing the problem. My last ditch effort was to change to a different type of thread. Never dreaming that it would make a…
-
Good afternoon, it has been a great day so far. Lost at WI, 2 ladies made lifetime and listening to them really inspired me. Then drove across town to have lunch with the girls....with the top down, yeah!!!! Hair done and now I am getting ready for work. It will be a hard night as they are coming in to clean the floors.…
-
This arrived today and I was moved to tears with my friend's generosity and love. Paula, glad you are done with the carpet. you are doing the right thing by chugging water. Much to do so better get to it Patti
-
What a wonderful day. Had such a fun time with Suzi. Oohing and aahhing over some really cool items at the vintage market. Then lunch filled with talk and laughter. Ran down to my son's to measure and cut the foam for their benches. Got all the fabric cut and made 16 yards of piping. I should get these whipped up tomorrow.…

Good morning, getting ready to make an omelet before going to work. Need to find something to take for dinner. I am working over 6 hours so will get an actual 30 minute meal break. Frankie seems to be back to her normal self. I am still restricting her feeding times and not free feeding as she has always done. Tomorrow…

Karla, didn't mean to step on your toes but. Had recently looked into this for my knee and foot pain. After all that I read I opted to not try it until there is some research done. My biggest concern is that there is no standard or testing for how much CBD or THC (which should be 0) is in the product. Of the ones tested…
