I have been reading along here all the time and think that I have not missed too much. I haven't written much be cause I have lost some use of my left hand and some times have to resort to my old hunt and peck method. It is good to watch and find how you are all doing.

Tomorrow morning starts with breakfast at 7:00 a.m. DH says I will probably crawl back in bed after all this activity. Nice to know that I have a nice clean one to go to.

Hope everyone's day was as great as ours was. We have so much to thank the good lord for.

Night all!

DH cleaned of the birds feeder and they will be here as soon as he puts feed out. He opens the porch door and they appear.

Carol, so sorry that you are having the same problems at the hospital, especially after waiting so patiently getting ready again. I that happened to me last year after preparing for a colonoscopy twice. Hate drinking that stuff.

Particularly loved the pictures and Bob's cartoons.

I am going to try to sell some on eBay too, we'll see though for I pulled a muscle (ham string?) in my leg in a freak accident and have been hobbling around ever since then. It was awful and the pain was unbelievable. I screamed and fainted when it happened. The bruising is unbelievable. The kids are having a big time teasing DH that he did it when I didn't move fast enough. He has been his usual humble and wonderful aide tome through it all.

We had such a nice week, DD and her DH came to visit from Michigan and help us get things ready for the big move to the HOME, as they jokingly call the Assisted Living where we are moving on April 2. Lots of things to give away, sell and or strore. We are sorting through 62 years of marriage and moving from an 11 rooms of house to a lovely apartment of Living room, Bedroom, kitchenette. Lots of serious choices to make. We are moving on the 2nd to the Home and will keep coming back here until all of the loose ends are taken care of. Our goal is about 6 months until we put this house for sale. The kids are helping us or we would have to call in the pros. We will be having movers take care of our living room and bedroom furniture moving.
We will have a great place in a large bathroom for a litter box, out of sight, for our two cats. That part was important too.

It looks like you are better or still able to type so that is good news.
I can still read and sometimes even type so that is good news too. Along with the other things ailing me, "ailing" sure is a good word for it seems like I am either getting over or trying to get something all the time. I have trouble with the last 3 fingers on my left hand. They are either good, partly functional or won't work at all. Contrary things huh? Yeah, that just means that I have to carefully check everything before I can post anything. Could be worse? Well, no hands at all comes to mind. So if I am not posting at all, all that means is that I can't type but I am still reading. I am still going to sell, just slowly.

Thanks for the BD greetings, they were so appreciated. Thanks too Bob for the cartoons. I always welcome a good chuckle.

A day that lives in Infamy!

God bless America.

A day that lives in infamy! God bless America.

Today, I can only have 2 slices of any kind of bread or bakery items. I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables. Life gets curiouser than ever. Treat for Thanksgiving will be Persimmon Pudding, and I am a very rich lady. I have a wonderful dear husband of 61 years and a loving family of 1 son and 3 daughters. They provided us with 3 granddaughters and 5 grandsons. They all fell in love and married and the result is 3 great granddaughters 7 great grandsons. We have so much to be thankful for. Life is Good. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Good morning everyone. It is a beautiful sun shinny day. 41* and lots of leaves down every where.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DILLION.

Beth, a big WOW to you on that feedback number. The thought of all that work you have done is awesome.

Mysteryhorse. Welcome home and big Cheers for your winning horse. How exciting.

Jim, sure love the looks of that desk closet. The pull out storage is great too. You have done a wonderful job.

Clementine. Haven't heard much from you lately, have you been on the road? Been watching your auctions though.

Diane, I have had both knees replaced. I am remembering that although there was pain post surgery, it was nothing like that I had before it. Looking back, I am most pleased with the results. All of your problems may force your sister to recover faster and to take care of herself. Anyway, prayers and healing thoughts sent your way.

Patsy, good luck to you and your FOL sale. I hope you do well again this time.

Sandy, will this weather affect your lovely cabin? Hope not.

Lludwig, always interesting to read your posts.

In another area, we have seen Christmas wreaths displayed in different places. Like above the loft window in a barn and around a mailbox. etc.

Must get the treats together for all of the Halloween critters. Then begin the plan for the 36 souls that will be with us in November to celebrate Thanksgiving. dinner it'self will be at my eldest DD's houses after which the celebration moves mostly here and there, DD's and DS's. Some will be here early that week and leave on Friday and others will be here on Wednesday and stay until Sunday. They will all spend the nights at either our house or my son's or my DD's.

They sleep in shifts and mainly dwell at our house trying to not miss anything. My DH and I will creep away to our room to grab some sleep any time we are tired of it all. The party just continues on and on. Some are going to take the little ones to the Indy Children's Museum. Also on Black Friday starting very early in the morning some will go Christmas shopping and find some bargains. Cleaning up after all that is done by everyone who stayed here, mainly my youngest DD and her family. Then magically, all of the weeds and downed debris from all the trees will just disappear. Often, our car will get a thorough cleaning and washing too. Of course they eat a lot too. Someone is eating all of the time. Someone is loading or unloading the dishwasher all of the time.

The wonderful part is there doesn't seem to be any arguments or bad feelings or spats at all if there are, we are not aware of them. I think that since they don't see each other except for that one week in a year, that they just cope with it all.
Thank you God indeed.

It is almost fall and the leaves are starting to fall in earnest. Also, so sad to see the ones that have died and the ones that have been cut down. The poor squirrels have eaten every potted plant that we had out, also a lot of other things. Some of them aren't going to make it through the winter, I fear.

I haven't done anything of interest so nothing to tell. I sure will be glad when this election is over, I am so tired of it all. We saw several of the new TV shows. I can't say that any of them are worth watching again. One about a neighborhood taken over by alien families is just plain silly. Another about a woman doctor connected to the Mob. Bloody, and uninteresting.
I listed nothing last month so I had better get with it. Need to take some pictures. I have no idea what is going to sell any more so will just punt, I guess.

Oh and about people missing. I just figured that all must have had a lot to do since the break in the weather.

Woe is me. Haven’t found a way to create an interest.

Now if we can just get the election over, all will be okay for a while. I am so sick of the news media and the political stuff that I don't even watch tv much and get my news at Yahoo. I have noticed in the newspaper that there have been a rash of fires and shootings and burglary. I guess I can blame that on human nature.

As you can see, I need some coffee. Later, when I am in a better mood.

Sometime when I am in a better mood, we could discuss letting your children use your car. Boy, what a scary time that was.
