Good day to all. It is a sunny day here and I am going to go for a good walk and soon has my pot of Turkey soup is cooked.
I trust you all will have a good day.
 

Turkey soup.....mmmmmm sounds good, Just what the doctor ordered.  Kassie's cold has caught up with me.  I rarely get colds so I find this a real nuisance.

It was a bright clear morning today.  I wish I had one of you lovely folks to take a picture of the sunrise.  It was beautiful.

Today will be a full day with classes and and my marching orders while the boss is gone. 

Have a great day folks

Good Morning, I should be getting my window today and hopefully installed as well. My heater came on this morning and I had it set at 60°, I was surprised when I got up and found it had turned on.

Happy has started shedding and I have been picking up dog hair everywhere. It seems that I am spending a lot of time doing that.

TTYL

But I have to assume those are "Happy" circumstances.

Oh Al your sense of humor is too funny.

Good morning.  Not much happening since I last posted.  I did watch the Presidential Debates.  Of course, I know who won! 

Not going anywhere today.  Just need to start house cleaning for next Tuesday. 

I think Ivalou left this morning for Ohio to be with her two girls, grandkids and great.  She will be home Sunday or Monday.  She had to test her blood and if the numbers weren't okay, then she has to wait for the doctor to call her.  But she will be going sometime today...even this evening, if she has too.

That's it.  Kind of cloudy, overcast and cool today...even though I have a fan on me right now. 

Thanks for asking about Beth, Al.  I don't have any connections to even inquire about stem cell research and how it might help her.  And Mayo Clinic called and told her they will not accept her into the trial they have going with the new medicine, because she is not ambulatory.    I told her we will just keep on trying.  She is having a lot of headaches now, and they are telling her it is probably because of the neurofibromas growing inside her spinal column, plus the fact she is starting through menopause.  It is so hard to see her suffer, besides becoming more and more helpless.    Right now, the relationship with John is at the center of her thoughts, and I pray she doesn't get depressed after he comes and then leaves again.

Darrel came home with a cold, is going to see the doctor today.  I'm taking vitamin C and Zinc to ward it off, as I am feeling some symptoms myself, and I surely do not have time to be sick!

I will be leaving this afternoon around 3 for the Florida trip with the kids, back on the 25th for a day, leaving on the 27th for 5 days of painting.  Whew!

We had a really freaky, sad accident here while we were away.  A man was riding his motorcycle and an owl hit him in the face, causing him to lose control, and he was killed.  His wife was following in the car.......such a hard thing on her.  They used to attend our church, but changed to another about a year ago.  In fact, they were on their way home from church when the accident happened.

I am going to school to eat lunch with my Youth Friends today.  Talk to you later.  I hope each of you is greatly blessed by God today and every day.

Oh, Janet, I'm so sad about Beth.  What a sad life she's leading right now.  Please know that I will continue to remember her before the throne of Grace.

I don't know how you are keeping up with your schedule.

Hi everyone.  Another beautiful day here in Georgia and I have had a very busy morning.  As soon as I got home from coffee I called Midas Muffler about having them check the brakes in my Hyundai.  I had them checked in May, after the dealer tried to tell me they were shot and the rotor would have to be turned and I Midas checked and said they didn't need to be repaired.  That was the same result this morning, which was indeed good news. 

Then I stopped at Walgreen Drug Store and got one of those grabbers for Stacey to help her reach things on the upper shelves of her cabinets and also from the floor. 

Then I went to Kohl's and bought our oldest great grandson birthday presents as his 6th birthday is on Tuesday.  I also found a couple of pull over sweat jackets with a 1/4 zipper at the neck, which is really like as they are so warm. 

I have now had my lunch and will rest shortly.  Pat has been away all morning at the dentist getting preparations done for a crown on a tooth.  She was also going to the sewing store to ask them some questions on using her machine on repairing jeans. 

Janet, you are one busy lady.  So sorry to hear that Mayo's refused to accept Beth in their experimental program and know this must be discouraging for you all.  Perhaps something else will be revealed where she can find some help.  Enjoy your trip to Florida.

Good morning, everyone.  The workers are here today to install the last two windows.  That means it's cold in the house, so the dogs and I are "holed up" in the computer room with a space heater, a cup of Breathe Right Tea and three bones.  You can decide who has which.

We decided not to start the painting project until the Spring.   I don't know if we'll have enough dry weather now to complete painting the house.   

Colds are everywhere around here.  Both of the babies were sick, and I woke up this morning with cold symptoms.  I used to never get colds.......my body would fight them off at the first twinge.  Now I find I am getting whatever the babies have.  Twice now.  Mine still is light compared to most people, but I sure need to take precautions where I didn't think about it before.   Is this aging? lol

Janet, yes, that's so sad that Beth can't be accepted in the Mayo program.  I know you are grateful for her relationship with John and that he will come to see her.  Bless her heart.  I'll be praying for her too.

Larry, those little grabbers are great.  Also, when my mom died, I inherited (some took furniture.....I took the broom and dustpan ) her dustpan on a pole.  I don't have to bend over.  I used to clean her floors for her and got really used to not bending over.  Great things they make to help us. 

Melody, your turkey soup DOES sound good!  Turkey sounds good. lol  My granddaughter and I were talking about Thanksgiving dinner just yesterday.  She's craving turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn.  I like the green bean casserole and fruit salad and for leftover rolls.........I like turkey, cream cheese and cranberries to make little sandwiches.    But back to soup..........what all do you put in it?

Marilyn, Mia(the Pom)just went through her shedding time.  Hair Everywhere!!!  Times like this we definitely have to be "dog people". The boys don't shed much at all, but even they have times of dropping hair.  I try to cover the furniture with throws, and yank them off when I see company coming, but mostly it's just family, and they know me and my dogs. lol   

JudyB, take care of that cold.  I hope it's just a little one and you'll be over it quickly.

Blessings, Nita

Hi Nita---that does sound like a good turkey sandwich with cream cheese and cranberries. I will have to try
My turkey soup consists of-potato-carrot-turnip-onion-salt meat-turkey-rice and a can of vegetable soup and rotini noodles!!!

I wish y'all would be quiet about turkey sandwiches with cranberry!  That's one of my very favorite foods.  Oh, ya'll are so cruel!

Nita - how were the bones?

Janet - I haven't quite accepted mayo's answer yet.  I just prayed to our Father, Who is sovereign over Mayo and eveyone else as well.  It may be that He doesn't mean to heal Beth in this life, but - until we know for sure - I'm continuing to pray.

I'm still praying for my legs and the edema.  Nobody seems to know what's causing it or what to do about it.  Would appreciate your praying with me.

AL-

Praying there will be answers for you concerning this 

Thanks Melody.  I pray our Father will give you joy in His answers.

QuoteNita - how were the bones?

Al......LOL   I love you, brother.  I'll be praying for you tonight.

Melody, turnips are great in any soup. 

Hi everyone.  It is a gloomy day here and I just went to the post office to mail our oldest great grandson his 6th birthday present and it was actually raining, which was nice. 

Yesterday afternoon I did more cleaning in my storage shed and got a couple more big bags of garbage into the trash collection.  I emptied off a set of 4 metal shelves and brought them to the garage.  My job today is to break them down so I can take them down to our daughter's apartment so she will have them for storage.  Some of the bolts don't want to come out.  I am taking a break from the project at the moment.

Nothing else on the schedule for today so will be taking things easy after getting the shelves ready for the trip. 

Nita, a couple of years ago I bought one of those dust pans with the handle and we love it as no longer need to bend over when using it.  This usually brought on dizziness and it is painful for Pat to pick up things off the floor, although it seems she is always dropping something.  Probably a good idea to delay your house painting until spring as it won't be long now before the colder weather arrives and I know you have a lot of dampness.

Tony called last night.  Charlene and he are in Gatlinburg on vacation.  Seems the first night was too hot and he caught a cold/sinus trouble.  He hasn't been very mobile.  Her parents left yesterday from Gatlinburg for Florida so she will probably have him out walking today.  Great weather so far though.

I got the floors mopped yesterday and the bathroom carpet cleaned.  Whew!  Today I need to dust real good. 

But first I am going to Noblesville for a bite to eat and to the grocery store to get in needed items for Tuesday. 

It got down to 40° last night but my furnace didn't turn on.  It was still two degrees cooler than what the thermostat was set for when I got up.  I am dreading winter and the winter bills. 

Partly cloudy and still only 54°.  Cool.

Cool and cloudy here on the island.  Better than yest. tho', as the rain poured down and even Misty didn't want to go outside.

I went on my little train trip and had a lovely time.  It was sort of like stepping back in time, seeing my old friend and her husband.  We had lunch at their home and I was able to meet and spend time with their little dog.  She never goes to people, but came to me and sat on my lap.  My friend was amazed and said that her dog is a good judge of character.  That was nice!



My friend is the same lovely person and also still talks non-stop.  So it was not a problem, as predicted by Larry and Carol.  Their life was not as picture perfect as I had thought, and I learned about many of our old friends and some of those stories were quite sad. 

Pat, how nice that you were able to speak to our Prime Minister.  Years ago, Wendy had a chat with P. Trudeau (?) when he was in Edmonton.  Even got a picture.  Now they probably wouldn't allow such a thing....

Time to go.  My body is rather painful at the moment and staying on the computer is not wise. 
Pleasant Day/Evening and God Bless,

Liz

Liz;  What  a peaceful and lovely picture of you.  I just knew you would have lots to chat about - and are you not glad for your own life instead of somebody's life? 

Pat:  Why did I not catch the fact that you talked to your P.M.?  And, you gave the very right message. 

Al:  Praying for an answer to your leg edema. 

Janet:  Praying for Beth - and you too.

What a beautiful day here but I know it is warmer than normal.  We took two walks today and that is good because I went to lunch with about a dozen gals in this area.  Very nice.  I should be working and instead, took a book by Jan Karon out on the deck and sat barefoot in the sun.  Just finished an Instant Message chat with g-daughter and she is so quick - just a pistol, like her mother.  We are so blessed to have three grandchildren - at one point, I felt really dark feelings about not having more grands and had to come to terms with that fact.  It is still something that I have to ignore at times and can't think about what might have been. 

  Good evening to all.  Have had a very busy week and it is nice to just have the time to sit and read the post's.  Many of you have also been busy.  My wife and I are doing as much as we can to help our daughter and son-in-law wirh looking after our grandson so that they can save money  and pay it out on babysitting.  It is so exspensive to send them to one. My wife still has not heard anything regarding her appeal with the government to do with her back so please continue to pray for us .

Ruth Ann; I am so glad that your meds are working for you and I have lost some lbs. but not enough.

Carol and Don: It sounds like you are getting things done around the house and the colour sonds nice also.

Janet:  Boy are you one very busy lady don't forget to stop once in a while and have a breath. It sounds like you had a wonderful vacation.  Have fun with your family and Mickey Mouse.

Larry:  Well it was so nice to talk to you on the phon tonight and to catch up on much news. I hope that you can get those bolts loose I know that w.d. 40 will work. Look after yourself and Pat.  God Bless.

Etta Sue: Hope that you are well and not doing more than you should be. I just love the pictures of all the pussy cats. They are great.

Melody: Your weather sounds just like the weather in Scotland lots of rain.  I was always told that Newfoundland was part of Scotland it was a big rock that boke of and just floated over and stayed there.    HA.HA.

Pat: What a priviledge to have had that oppertunity to meet Mr. Harper and to have him say what he did back to you. Praise the Lord for that

Nita:Hope that you are well and that you get all your work finished before it gets to cold

Al:  My wife made a turkey pie with all the trimmings and of course the flake topping but the fresh cranberry was wonderful.  EAT YOUR HEART  OUT.

Judy B.  Sounds like all is very busy and you have your hands full.  How is John tell him I say hi. Don't forget to say hi to Heather.

Well to all others that I missed may you all have a wonderful weekend and a great day in the Lord house this Sunday.  Good night to all.  Gord and Noreen

Good Pics Pat.

Thanks, Pat, for introducing us to your PM.  May our Father give him wisdom and grace through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Gord:  Take care in lifting that baby.  I am sorry that the government is so slow in their answer.  It seems as though there isn't a government around that does anything with haste - except when they get themselves into trouble.  

Pat:  Great picture - thanks, we need to know these things as well.  You just might want to set up a news bulletin here of what is happening in Canada because - and this is ridiculous, our news stops at the border.  

I had better get going - have to hit the stores early because it is Saturday.  Am looking for fabric for making a quilt for grandson who is heading to be an Eagle Scout.  He is working with disabled children at his school right now on one project and I don't know if that is his only one.  

All of a sudden, things are speeding up around here.  Looking forward to tomorrow morning when we sit and contemplate our faith.  

Morning Al:  I see you online - Blessings to you today.

Good Morning every one. Not much going on here so far. Got up at 4:30  could not sleep any longer, I guess that happens when one goes to bed at 8 pm.  So I have been sitting here  having 2 cups of coffee and a donut , reading on SN, here and my email.  Fed the dogs, made the bed and got dressed, I will be cleaning the house and brushing Happy again still trying to get all the loose fur off him. This time of year it is a daily brushing for him instead of once per week.

Will be going back to my old church tomorrow, Willa has insisted that I go there. So I will and see if anything has changed.

TTYL

    to all.
Is it really Saturday again?
Will, its cloudy here today and I am doing some housework here today.
Pat-good picture of the Pm-He needs our prayers.
Gord--Ha ha -I do think NL and Scotland are connected-have you every been to our province
but the rock is still strong
Al: remembering you in prayer today
From my house to your house have a good day all[/color].

Bright and sunny in Indiana but cold.  Not sure if the furnace came on last night or not. 

Today I want to wash some windows inside and out.  Then I need to get warm clothes on and go mow the leaves! 

That will be enough for today! 

No, I am not doing too much.  Anyone else with me.  What I used to do in one day, takes all week now!!

Etta Sue, no sense in getting it done in one day.  What would you do tomorrow?

I'll take those blessings, Carol.  And to you as well.

Yes, it's been a very slow week for posts in here and I guess I'm one of the culprits.

But I know that so many, many of our members sit at their computers and read and then don't post!    Come on folks, at least say, "Hi!"
