Rita, con very gratulations on six months sober!! Proud of you, girl! Tracey, I think Michele was wondering if some were jealous of the go fund me page or maybe about Kaitlyn and hubby trying the in vitro again. Are any of them wanting and not able to conceive? I don’t need to know the answer, just something to rattle…

Annie, I’m glad your mom’s service went well. I hope you and your sister can get all the paperwork at least organized so that it will be easier for you to go thru. Hopefully the two of you can get the bulk of it done. Evelyn, Vancouver Island

Margaret I’m so sorry to hear of your husband’s passing but glad that it was peaceful. Cuddling with DrewB definitely is in order. Evelyn, Vancouver Island

Add me to the list of those who dislike scary/horror movies! I will watch a good mystery and even a slightly psychological thriller, but prefer fluffier! lol No way would I let my grandkids watch anything by Tim Burton! Their parents might, but they get Disney Channel at my house! Also add me to the list of those who are…

I would have thought all the wild animals would have eaten all the berries by now. Simone- Wisconsin [/quote] It’s a really small area, and it was only the one berry that was still there. We have a neighbour a few houses down who has several bird feeders so the squirrels tend to hang out at her place. Evelyn, Vancouver…

I harvested a raspberry today!! lol the pen is to give a size reference. I only have a few canes and they put out a last flower burst in August so I’m pretty tickled that they did anything. Sadly lacking in flavour tho, they really need the heat for that, but it’s January in the northern hemisphere so I’ll take it! Evelyn,…

Barbie, thanks for a new month! Evelyn

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2024! Evelyn, Vancouver Island

Lisa, the sunroom is lovely! I know you were kind of concerned about too much of a wood look, but I think the different colours make enough of a difference, it's not too much! Tracy, the trees that you did are just lovely, I can't believe how quickly you were able to get them done! You must have been thinking about them…

Quick fly by post. Just wanted to congratulate Rita on five months sober! Very well done! I’ve been reading but not taking notes although I would like to throw my two cents in about using ozempic for weight loss. I have a friend who is diabetic and on prescribed ozempic. She did lose weight, although not in her belly which…

What our “fruit” bowl looks like….. it does usually have some fruit in it, but not today! lol Evelyn, Vancouver Island

Allie, thanks for the explanation! I wondered if they (him) had offered and you refused, which I totally understand! A gal has to have her pride, after all. I am glad you weren’t more seriously injured, that had the potential to be really nasty! Machka, apparently Santa has a strange sense of humour, bringing you Covid for…

Lanette, Lisa is so right, you will LOVE the Vicar of Dibley! I have also watched it multiple times, it doesn’t get old, lol. Another Brit show that I’ve discovered is called Pie in the Sky, gentle murder mystery with some lighter moments. Baking is mostly done, had to take a food break. I was taking the butter tarts out…

Carol, deepest condolences, may your brother in law rest in peace. Annie, I’m stunned that the minister had the audacity to go behind your back and manipulate your dad into changing the plans you had already made, that is most certainly not his job! He is supposed to offer comfort not make things more difficult. Hugs, hugs…

Annie, I’m so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. I hope you are able to get thru everything with minimal stress. Good that your sister is there right now. Evelyn, Vancouver Island

Barbara, YAY for a working stove!! Rebecca, congrats to your middle son for finishing his degree! And congrats to your younger son for holding to his commitment to call you regularly! Evelyn, Vancouver Island

Lisa, your advice about gift cards came to late for me also, I bought three Amazon cards at Superstore for our younger son's family (1 teen and 2 almost teens!). Hopefully they will be fine..... I suspect they will use them as soon as they get them, so maybe that will help... Love the bell bottoms!! Michele, I don't think…

Beth, just read about your mom, her fall and the oxygen making her less confused. When my dad was in hospital before he passed, I wondered if he was developing dementia but was told that because his heart wasn’t working well, (he had about 20% function,) his brain was being properly oxygenated which is why he seemed…

Barbie, belated thanks for a new month! Rebecca, Eli, Athena andTucker too! And for the pics! Heather, hope you feel better soon. Rori and Lanette, so sorry to hear of your respective losses. Hugs for both of you. Debbie, so glad you stood up to your mil. Has your hubby ever tried just leaving when she starts getting…

Rori and Tina, I’m so sorry for your respective losses. Gentle hugs held extra long…. Tracy, thanks for the info about the trees and snowmen. Sadly, my Dollarama doesn’t have them, nor does Dollar Giant. Amazon has them, but they want an extraordinary amount of money for them! I will keep looking, should check out…

My current project, it’s already sold! Now I’m working on one with a gold pillow. Evelyn, Vancouver Island

Tracey, so glad that Rodger opened up about his dad and that you were able to empathize with him. Loving your crafts! What are the trees and snowmen made of for the tic tac toe? Debbie, hoping the show went well and that mil won’t be too angry about your hubby not being there. I know she said it would be fine, but can we…

Karen so very sorry to hear of your brother’s passing Evelyn, Vancouver Island

Happy November ladies! Barbie, thank you for another month! Last night was Halloween, we quit giving out treats many years ago for two reasons. First, the place we were living, we hardly got any kids the last few years we were there. I had actually quit already because of that. When we first moved to that house, there were…

I've been reading, but, as usual, am behind on posting! Hope you don't mind the catch up! And this is only stuff I remember..... sorry... Lanette, hubby worked at Home Depot for awhile, his ease into retirement job. I asked him about cutting various stuff and he said that that plastic was a bit no-no as it could melt onto…

Thank you for a new month Barbie! I’ve been reading, but not commenting, going to do what I remember now! Rebecca, congrats on Eli’s safe arrival! He’s a cutie and it looks like Athena will be a devoted big sister! Heather, Happy Birthday! I hope the wedding was lovely and that you enjoyed yourself! Rita, just {{{HUGS}}}…

Pip, NICE!! Kim, sorry you’ve had such a rough August! Happy belated birthday! I turned 65 in July! Lisa, so nice to see Kelsey and the kids looking so happy! Tracy, great tees! The memory has failed…..sorry to those I’ve missed😔 I’ve been tracking and hitting the gym for just over a week now and, surprise !, I’ve lost 1.2…

Rebecca, I am beyond words happy for you!!!! Evelyn, Vancouver Island

Lanette, thanks for thinking of me. I’m actually on Vancouver island, which doesn’t seem to be too bad right now. It is smoky, but not as bad as it has been. I have family in Kelowna, some have already evacuated and others are on alert. It’s really bad there, very scary. Thinking about them a lot! Tracey, I’m so happy for…
