Our House Part Two

[rii698]

Good Morning Glories

 

I sent a grocery list to DH via e-mail this morning, so that I can cook at home over the weekend with fresh groceries. Since the computer was turned on, I might as well pop in and send a greeting out to all of you . How is your a.m. going? I have had my coffee , play time with my nephews, and the girls and I started reading a new book together (Little Town on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder). All is well in this little corner of Our House

 

Dusti- I thoroughly enjoy your posts!!! Thank you. I just love writing letters to friends, and catching up with all of you is a great part of my day.

 

Sounds like the girls are having a wonderful time and I'm so happy to read that you had a nice lunch with your grandma. Those are very special times. I miss my Grandma- she was one cool lady and we were more in sync with each other than me and my own mom if that makes sense. That makes perfect sense, because I have a very similar relationship with my gramma. My mum worked Mondays-Wednesdays as I was growing up, and, during the summer months, I stayed with my gramma and grampa every Sunday-Wednesday instead of going to a babysitter or daycare. My grandparents took me to Hawaii for 2 winters, when they holidayed there. And, they took me on my first tour to Japan. I adore my Gramma

I even lived with her for a while after my first year of college when I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up- I moved in with her- and my cousin also lived with us as she was going for her Master's degree. Ahh the memories- we had such fun times!!! Awww, you are so lucky to have those memories of your Grandma

 

Enjoy the rest of your evening- and hope the girls continue to enjoy the art classes!!! I have a special place in my heart for anything to do with art since my middle DD is going for her master's in art education. She has been volunteering with underprivileged kids . I'll be so happy if when she graduates she lands a job. She is passionate about art and the importance of art in education!

I have no art ability whatsoever, so it amazes me the girls have always been so interested in drawing, painting and creating. They must get it from DH's side of the family. How much longer does you DD have to go, before she finishes her Master's program? I really wish there was someplace close to home, where the girls could go to receive lessons from enthusiastic instructors after school. They may never do anything with art, but they so enjoy it right now, and I would not mind fostering their interest more, if I could. Your daughter is doing a great thing to work with young children.

 

Glad you like the ghan! And digital camers make my obsession with taking the pics of the dogs way too easy....so you'll all be blessed with my efforts.

Wait till I get a pic of Lucy with the cone on her head after her spay operation the end of the month! Poor baby....Ohhh, that will not be easy for her to deal with, but she will make it through and soon be :dog, again.

 

Off I go for tonight.

Have a good one everybody:hug:manyheart

 

Morning. Last day of work for the week. I took tomorrow off to do the shopping and preps for saturday. I'm a nervous wreck.

I hope everything goes smothly.

I hope so, too, Wrennie You and his friends will honor Marton's life together, and that is what is most important.

 

Marisa ~ I hope you are able to wrap up all of your work and details before you and your mom head out for the beach. Is it going to be just the two of you for the week? That sounds glorious . Enjoy the gathering of your co-workers and friends tomorrow night. It sounds as though sooo many people are cheering for you, yet they are going to miss you so much. What an impact you made on them. With your sunny personality and enthusiasm, it does not surprise me, but how fun for you to be reminded of the fact now-and-again

 

Tab ~ Hot ginger teawas my favorite beverage throughout my pregnancies. I like having a hot beverage in my hands, and the spicy ginger flavor felt like a treat to myself with each cup. Time to pamper yourself, you know? The kitty is up every two hours, huh? Yes, that does sound like a good refresher course for life with a newborn . Lots of luck to y'all!

 

Linda ~ no carbohydrates, limited protein...I would, seriously, have to make an appointment with a dietician to help me work within those parameters. Good luck to you. Are you just supposed to eat greens and fruits until they come out of your ears? It's good you are so knowledgeable about nutrition, but the doctor's recommendations sound as though they would lead to boring meals before too long.

 

 

Everyone ~

 

With any luck, I will get to check-in later today. Tomorrow, after art class, we will be heading home .

 

Have a good Thursday!

That's wonderful news, Tammy.

[LovinThis32]

**Hellooooo my girlies!!!*** As I drop in for a minute---- WOW! I'm a little bit overwhelmed at the moment.

 

 

Lotzzzz going on here! lol----- Soooo Mr. Tennesee and I tried to work things out again for a bit---I have decided for the last time.....he's waaaaay too dramatical for me! I am done. I've given it a good year and apparently a year is all the time that I can seem to make a relationship work! No tears, no hurt---just get on with yourself, ya know!

 

Aree played her last tournament last weekend, Mom Aree and I were gone for 3 days we took Mom's trailer and camped! It was great times, but I was kind of sick the whole time----I had a lulling headache and got mysterious bloody noses and just didn't feel so hot. I've been retaining water in my feet and ankles for about 2 months as well which isn't normal for my fat self! Sooooo I went to the Dr. on Tues and found out I have ungodly high blood pressure so I am now on medication......TIME TO GO ON A DIET!!

 

And then.............I've mentioned my Dad's house and his crazy WTH-EVER he was married to-lady. Well--I had heard through the grapevine that she was leaving due to health issues- (good thing cuz I didn't want her to die there lol) Anyhow-- she never told anyone "officially" as far as myself, my brother or my uncle. I took it upon myself to go out and check out......shes gone. I had called my brother- and oddly enough while on the phone with him our mom was callin me------THE DEED from the atty was mailed to our Mom's!!!! So----now my brother and I own Dad's house again!! FINALLY!! How heartbreaking it is for me to go out there though-----I pulled up and the lawn is dead, my Dad would be embarassed as all get out. I got in the house and she left piles of garbage in one room, empty boxes and bug killer in most rooms. She has painted over 3 layers of wallpaper, and painted AROUND big furniture that may have been on the wall. Lol---it's awesome! I just cried the 1st time I went out there. I sent pictures to Ty (brother) and I can't repeat what he said! lol So----we want to have rentors in it Sept 1, so everynight after work I've been going out there and working on things- he will come home next weekend and be here and we are going to finish up repainting, etc.!!! i'm exhausted to say the least!!

 

I hope you all are doing well- I haven't really had a chance to catch up on posts as much as I would love to. I get logged in and started and poof----away I get side tracked!

[Gardener]

Hello everyone. Busy, busy day at work, but it was a good day despite that. It's nice to be home though.

 

Wrennie, hope all goes well Saturday.

 

Marisa, have a good week at the beach. Will you feel a little sad at being done with your current job? Have fun at your goodbye gathering too.

 

Tam, WTG to Patrick. And what a sweet thing for your dh to do for him.

 

Linda, sounds like you are limited to eating vegetables? That diet sounds like a good way to malnutrition! Dusti's suggestion of meeting with a dietician sounds like a good one to me.

 

Dusti, I always loved Laura Ingalls Wilders books. They were the first books that I remember anyone reading to me. In fact, I may re-read them, now that you brought them up.

 

Tabby, how much longer before baby is here? I hope the boys are sharing kitty responsibilities with you. Has Doah seen the new doctor yet?

 

Kiyo, glad your dad's crazy lady is gone. Its too bad she left a mess for you to clean up, but at least the house is yours. Sorry about Mr Tennessee. Good luck with the diet.

 

Hi to Mary, Toni, Judy, Julie, Shannon,Joanne, Kathy, Phyllis, LeAnna, Cheeria, Trish, and anyone else I missed.

:cheer:cheer

[judianne]

KiYo....wow...what a lot to deal with! Good thing you went to the doctor. High BP isn't anything to fool with! Now it's time to take care of yourself...and delegate some of the work in the house, too. You owe it to Aree.

 

Hi to everyone else..off I go for the night....:manyheart

[imanurse55]

Hi all,

 

Another busy day in Paradise- and when I came home I went for a walk- it's beautiful outside!!

 

Kiy0- I'm so glad that you went to the Dr--High BP will kill you- literally- it is called the silent killer---I'm so happy you didn't have a stroke or anything- especially if you were getting swollen ankles and unexplained nosebleeds and headaches!!! Seriously watch your sodium intake- and take your meds as directed- Ok, nurse rant over!!!

 

That's great news that you and your bro have the deed to your Dad's house!!!!

 

Dusti- My DD has another year- and then next fall has to do one more semester of student teaching. She had to take only a few courses her first two semesters for financial reasons, but then last semester landed an internship which really helps. She has to do her thesis this year. She often volunteers at art activities for children and facilitated one last summer. I'm very proud of her---but then I am her Mama after all. I don't know where she got her artistic talent but it was evident to me when she was about 3 years old...Have a safe trip home!!!

 

Cindy- Glad to hear your day went well. I guess you are catching up from being away- and Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie was one of the first "novels" I read to my DD's. Dusti's mention of it makes me want to re-read some of her books too!!

 

Judy- One of the guys at work called me this afternoon- he was listening to the Yankee game-He is my Yankee buddy at work--- I had just mentioned to him this morning how worried I was about Mo and blowing saves..and then he calls this afternoon to say he gave up a 3 run homer---thankfully the Yanks still won!!!

 

Marisa- Glad you had a nice dinner last night and it seems that you are getting a very nice send-off- have fun tomorrow night, Saturday and of course enjoy the beach!!!

 

Wrennie- Don't worry about Saturday- the important thing is that you and his friends will be there to honor his memory- I am sending positive thoughts and prayers for you!!!

 

Linda- Wow- what kind of diet is that? I agree with both Dusti and Cindy- it may be a good idea to check in with a dietician!

 

Tam- Congrats to Patrick on his new job!!!! Will he be able to handle working, school and Fall ball?. That was so sweet of Ken to get the Congrats cake!!

 

Tab- Enjoy the kitty- sounds like it will be good practice (not that you really need it since this isn't your first-) How's Doah doing? And how do the boys feel about a new sibling?

 

Phyllis- Thinking about you and sending

 

Julie, Mary, Val, LeAnna, Cheeria- and the rest of the house--hi and hope all is well!!

Good evening ladies

 

Well, one day to go I ran errands after work and found a new pair of glasses I like when I went to get my contacts Stopped to pick up food, which I have half left for lunch tomorrow. I finished my hobo hearts tote and will post a pic in the AM. I still have to pack tonight for 2 nights at my parents and a week at the beach. My mom and I have been coordinating what we're each taking, since she got her list from my sister That way it works out better and not everyone is bringing everything. Someone asked (Dusti maybe?) My mom and I are joining my sister and her boyfriend at the beach (actually, we're crashing their party ) And his family will be there as well. He has 2 sisters, one has two little kids and they'll be there all week I think (those kids just adore my mother and she does them too ) and his other sister has an older boy (mid teens) and will probably be there about half the week. I'm not sure if his dad is going or not I usually just crash a weekend, but I conveniently chose my last day of work accordingly

 

Cindy - I've been at a different office for last week and this week, so I've already started to let go, but yes I will miss it and the people. I have to say that my boss is awesome too!!!! He's been very helpful to me. I don't think it will really hit me until I actually leave though. After the beach, I have the end of the month to pack up so it'll really start to sink in. But all in all, I'm very ready to do this and am just sooo excited that it definitely overrides leaving I'll miss my friends, but they're only a phone call away and this will not be good bye

 

Judy - The condo does have wifi, but it kinda comes and goes a bit, I'm guessing maybe iwth the weather or something Anyways, I should be ok to check in on my nook, but that being said, my posts will be short with some typos and text talk But even if there was no wifi, I always have my phone

 

Dusti - I do have alot of people cheering for me and although they're all mad at me for leaving, they very much support me Even my patients....mad when they find out I'm leaving, but tell them why and they're all good with it and wishing the best

 

Alright, well, I gotta go pack. I don't think I'll be back here after work tomorrow so need to be ready to go

 

Catch y'all in the AM.

Hi Ladies,

 

Lots has been going on with hubby but he is starting to feel better now. He had 3 of those chest attacks in 24 hours. I timed the one that was the worse and it lasted for 20 minutes. He was crying he said it hurt so bad. We seen the doctor tuesday and he said to quit the pain patch as it is making him to sick. Are doctor is at a loss on what to do or where to send us. He said usually when a patient comes in and he can't fix them you send them off to a specialist but we've been to them. Hubby said maybe it's time to go to Mayo Clinic. And the doctor agreed. So he is working on getting that to happen. Hopefully it does. He said they don't accept everyone. I don't know how long the whole process takes if they will see him. I know are insurance will pay for him to be seen there. We have all the documents that the insurance needs before they approve it.

Hubby has lost 8lbs in a month because he hasn't been eating hardly anything. More crackers and milk then anything. Was to nausea and light headness, even taking dranamine. That is getting better without the patch.

I hope if the Mayo Clinic goes through it is soon before snow falls. Minnesota starts winter before we do.

 

LeAnna, Nice to see you again. Congratulations on your ribbons and new adventures.

 

Judy, Love the pic of you and Lucy. The hummingbird ghan is beautiful!

 

Marisa, It sounds like a nice group of people you work with. Have fun at the party and this weekend to. Enjoy your week at the beach next week.

 

Tam, Congrats to Patrick and his new job! What a pretty cake.

 

Tab, You know your not to be changing the kitty litter box when your pregnant right?

 

Cindy, Hope your Mom and Dad are still improving. I didn't go back all the way since my last post.

 

Joanne, Hope your job lightens up soon. You use to really enjoy your job.

 

Toni, Awesome pics of the new baby, Mom, Dad and Big Sister.

 

Wrennie, I hope all works out the way you want it to for saturday. I'm going to a memorial serivce myself saturday for a friend who passed away in July. It's suppose to rain and it's set up to be outside.

 

Kiyo, I'm glad you went to the doctor. If you don't start feeling better soon be sure and go back. Take care of yourself. I agree pass some of that work off on your brother when he comes. That's good that you and your brother have the house back. To bad about all the work you have to do to it though.

 

Mary, Not a fun time with Luke cutting teeth. I gave the kids and gks cold wash cloth to chew on to besides the freezer teethers. They make a numbing medicine you can buy over the counter that helps.

 

Dusti, It sounds like the girls are having lots of fun with there art. I was close to both of my Grandma's. Lots of memories with them. I tell everyone I took lessons from them on being a Grandma. Glad you have wonderful memories and can continue to make many more with your Grandma. Little house on the praire sounds like some fun reading. My SIL and I watch the Walton's if there on when I'm there.

 

Linda, Boy they sure are taking things away from you in the eating dept. I would definetly see a dietician. Hang in there.

 

Hope all is well with everyone else. I'm tired tonight so I'm heading off to bed. Have a good friday everyone!

[imanurse55]

Good morning and TGIF!:clap:clap

 

Marlene- So sorry to hear about DH and hope that he is able to get an appt at Mayo clinic! Scary stuff when you don't know what's wrong!!! hugs to you!!! (and prayers for you both) I did like my job more when I was assigned to the project with people from different depts and we were all working together- it was fun- and we all got along so well. Back now in my original dept- it's very busy- we had some people quit- and it's just alot of work every day---but I'm grateful to have a job so I keep plugging away....

 

Marisa- Have FUN in the SUN at the beach-- and enjoy your last day of gainful employment today!!! The 'races' sound like fun and I remember you talking about it last year- The week at the beach sounds like it will be great- and you deserve some fun and relaxation after all the hard work you've been doing to get your practice together!

 

Oops- just looked at the clock-- -where does the time go? I've got to get ready for Paradise!!!!

[marpan79]

Good morning ladies

 

Just a quick stop or I'll be running late. I still have a couple things to do before hitting the road this morning. But I'm all packed and ready to go. Still need to take out the trash Or it'll be really nasty until I get back

 

I finished the hobo hearts tote and I took one pic without the flash because I think the pattern came out a bit more visible, but I probably should've used a solid color. But I chose from the cotton I had because I want to use it as a market bag

 

Have a great day everyone and I'll be back sometime tomorrow.

 

Marlene - sending many prayers for dh and that he can get into the Mayo Clinic :hug

Very nice bag!! And you're obviously right about the pattern showing up without the flash!

Have a great time with your family!

[judianne]

'morning, everyone!

 

Joanne, yesterdayMariano had his hands on his hips and a puzzled look on his face as he watched the home run sail over the right field wall.

Maybe it's time he hung up the spikes too - he and Posada? Good thing they didn't lose the game -would have put a damper on the family day fun that followed the game!

 

Marlene, I hope DH gets into Mayo quickly. It's so hard not having any answers.:manyheart:hug

And thank you for the compliments:)

 

Not much new here...except for the wonderful chill in the air when I went out with the pups at 6 AM:D:D:D:D My time of year isn't far away...I can feel it! I think Lucy feels it too....she was running figure 8's around Sparkie this AM when all he wanted to do was have her tug on the other end of the squeaky toy he was holding in his mouth!

 

Later, gators!

[busy-bee-lmt]

Good morning everyone. Off to a quiet start on the day so far. I looked up the diet on the internet yesterday. Results were pretty much what I expected. I did find a link to a new product called Miracle Noodles which is made out of a soluble fiber, no calories, and if at least lets you feel like you have more normal food. I ordered some for Kim and I to try. Will let you know on how it tastes. Hopefully not too atrocious.

 

Think I'll call the doctor's office today and see if they have any suggestions, although I'm not too optomistic.

 

**Hellooooo my girlies!!!*** As I drop in for a minute---- WOW! I'm a little bit overwhelmed at the moment.

 

 

Lotzzzz going on here! lol----- Soooo Mr. Tennesee and I tried to work things out again for a bit---I have decided for the last time.....he's waaaaay too dramatical for me! I am done. I've given it a good year and apparently a year is all the time that I can seem to make a relationship work! No tears, no hurt---just get on with yourself, ya know!

I'm glad that you seem to be okay with this relationship ending.

Aree played her last tournament last weekend, Mom Aree and I were gone for 3 days we took Mom's trailer and camped! It was great times, but I was kind of sick the whole time----I had a lulling headache and got mysterious bloody noses and just didn't feel so hot.

Sooooo I went to the Dr. on Tues and found out I have ungodly high blood pressure so I am now on medication......TIME TO GO ON A DIET!!

Take care of yourself! High blood pressure is nothing to ignore.

And then.............I've mentioned my Dad's house and his crazy WTH-EVER he was married to-lady.

Sorry she left such a mess behind, but glad that the drama over you and Ty getting the house is straightened up at last.

Love the tote bag. It's amazing how much better patterns are visible with a solid color than with variegated colors.

Have a great day everyone and I'll be back sometime tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a great day today. Will catch you all later.

Good Morning House……….

 

Thanks everyone for all the congrats to Patrick! He worked 5 hours yesterday doing lawn care. He will work a few hours today helping clean up the mess the storm made last night. Then Sunday he will work bussing tables! He’s really excited about this job! I’m super proud of him!

This job is really flexible.. and his boss is super sweet!

So quick funny story about the cake Ken brought home for Patrick.

When he sat it on the counter … I looked at it and this is what I saw……

 

So………..you’ll see …. .the precious elderly lady that wrote on it… seems to forgotten how to spell. So… before Patrick saw the cake…. I fixed it.

 

Whats really funny… is Ken picked up the cake.. .never noticed and brought it home. LOL… but you know… the love of the act… was more than the misspelled word!

 

Sorry for not catching up better.

I will try later. Its County Fair time here and I forgot I promised the boys I’d take them to ‘kids night’ yesterday. And tonight its shows and exhibits. I had thought of putting something of mine in at the fair… maybe next year.

Anyway… need more coffee………..

 

[LovinThis32]

Yikes Tammy----lol those are things you see in emails of people messing up! That's funny stuff right there! WOW!

 

And .......I must say-----when I get a cup of coffee I think of you and your addiction! lol I just got 6 bags of coffee from Hawaii this morning! My friend loves me!

[judianne]

Tam...a box is on its way to you with the ghan and a small something else you may be able to use for the fundraiser

 

The cake story is a hoot..I never thought to look at how it was spelled! Good for you for fixing it.

 

Kiyo...a puffy envelope is on its way to you, too, with 3 scarves. I wish I could have made more, but....

[LovinThis32]

Judy----You're awesome honey!! I will for sure watch for it----I have 3 hats on hooks right now for myself to get done- I need to hurry! THANK YOU BUNCHES!

[Gardener]

Hello everyone. Just a quick hello from me at the moment. had a very busy day at work, and now Dh has decided he wants to go out to dinner, so I guess I ought to get out of my scrubs. I'll see if I can talk him into grocery shopping afterwards. It'll save me some time tomorrow.

[judianne]

Kiyo, you;re welcome!

Dinner out - sounds good! And getting his help with the groceries so that can be finished...perfect!

 

Have a good night everyone!

Great idea to use it as a market bag!! WTG on finishing it- knowing how busy you have been. By the time you read this you will be officially unemployed (for now anyway) Enjoy your time off!!!!

I think Lucy feels it too....she was running figure 8's around Sparkie this AM when all he wanted to do was have her tug on the other end of the squeaky toy he was holding in his mouth!

 

Later, gators!

I agree Judy- time to hang up the spikes I 'm afraid- be interesting to see if pitches the 9th again tonight! I agree, this weather is awesome---I stopped for pizza on the way home, then after we ate, I went for a walk- it is so beautiful out- my kind of weather for sure!!!

 

Hello everyone. Just a quick hello from me at the moment. had a very busy day at work, and now Dh has decided he wants to go out to dinner, so I guess I ought to get out of my scrubs. I'll see if I can talk him into grocery shopping afterwards. It'll save me some time tomorrow.

Hope you get the shopping done--enjoy your dinner- I'll have shopping to do this weekend too- but leaving it for Sunday when they are forecasting rain- tomorrow is supposed to be another perfect day!

 

Good Morning House……….

 

Thanks everyone for all the congrats to Patrick! He worked 5 hours yesterday doing lawn care. He will work a few hours today helping clean up the mess the storm made last night. Then Sunday he will work bussing tables! He’s really excited about this job! I’m super proud of him!

This job is really flexible.. and his boss is super sweet!

So quick funny story about the cake Ken brought home for Patrick.

When he sat it on the counter … I looked at it and this is what I saw……

So………..you’ll see …. .the precious elderly lady that wrote on it… seems to forgotten how to spell. So… before Patrick saw the cake…. I fixed it.

Whats really funny… is Ken picked up the cake.. .never noticed and brought it home. LOL… but you know… the love of the act… was more than the misspelled word!

 

Sorry for not catching up better.

I will try later. Its County Fair time here and I forgot I promised the boys I’d take them to ‘kids night’ yesterday. And tonight its shows and exhibits. I had thought of putting something of mine in at the fair… maybe next year.

Anyway… need more coffee………..

 

Sounds like Patrick is doing great and that his job is flexible--learning great life lessons there, Tam!!! Thanks for the:lol

 

Linda- Did you find out anything about the diet from the Doc's office ?

 

Going to meet up with Judy, Cheeria and Phyllis tomorrow morning:yay I know we are going to miss Marisa!!!

 

Off to watch the Yankees!

 

to all!

Oh, that's so funny about the spelling on the cake. Have fun at the fair.

 

The nurse at the doctor's office called me back and I'm now set up to go in for diabetic diet instruction on Tuesday. Then this evening I had my first insulin react since starting on it. Scary! Turned white as a ghost, was shaking, sweating, and light-headed to the point of feeling like I might pass out. Ate a fruit and oat bar. 15 minutes later it was still getting worse and took a fast-acting glucose tab. An hour after it started my blood sugar had finally gotten up to 108. And I was finally starting to feel better. The worst of it was that I was giving Kim a shower at the time. She realized I was having problems and didn't act up a bit. Thank goodness. They have GOT to allow me some concentrated carbohydrates! I should have taken my blood sugar when it started, but I wasn't thinking clearly enough at that point to think of it.

That's scary! Thank goodness you didn't pass out! It must have been very low- did you let the Doc know what happened? Glad that you have an appointment on Tuesday!

For anyone looking for a low calorie substitute for spaghetti pasta, check out spaghetti squash. It's actually really quite tasty.

 

Random input for the day!

 

I made a teensy tiny bit of progress on my shawl last weekend. Someday it may actually get finished.

Loved your random input! I had spaghetti squash for the first time a couple of summers ago when i was visiting my DD in Boston. All I can say is it is delicious!!!! Keep pluggin away on the shawl and someday it will be finished!!!

 

Good morning Housemates-

 

Hope you all have a good Saturday- I'm getting ready to do a little tidying up and then want to get my car washed (with my free coupon that expires today) before the Jersey Girls meet up!

 

Wrennie---I'll be thinking of you today :hug Hope all goes well today~

Hi Kiyo ~ Good to hear from you. I am soooo glad that you agreed to go to the doctor's office, and that they were able to interpret your symptoms so quickly. Take good care of yourself . Wow, have you ever been working like crazy to get your father's house ready to rent next month. I am glad your brother is going to lend a hand this weekend, you need to catch a break. Hang in there

 

Cindy ~ Did you go someplace fun for dinner last night? Any time you do not have to put together a meal is great, isn't it?! Glad I could give you the reminder about Laura Ingalls Wilder books. Do you know which series I am excited to start next? Did you ever read the Anne of Green Gables books? I did not read them as a teen, but I picked them up for 'fun' reading in college and loved their sweetness. I think Kyri and Annika will enjoy them, too.

 

KiYo....wow...what a lot to deal with! Good thing you went to the doctor. High BP isn't anything to fool with! Now it's time to take care of yourself...and delegate some of the work in the house, too. You owe it to Aree. I agree. Very good point.

 

Hi to everyone else..off I go for the night....:manyheart

 

Joanne ~ I can just tell how much you are enjoying the more-seasonable temperatures. All of your evening walks sound wonderful! DH and I used to go out every night after dinner, when we lived in town and had sidewalks and a changing scenery. Now, I can walk for miles and miles, and I still find myself gazing at the same horizon. The fields directly around me may change, but there are no houses, sign posts, or anything else to give my view some variety. Hence, my purchase of the treadmill I can, now, walk and read a book at the same time, and I am happy as can be. I eat my picnic lunch on the deck every chance I get for the fresh air, but I will exercise indoors until I get to Hawaii and really have interesting scenery to view.

You deserve to be a proud mama Your DD (all 3 of them) is doing well for herself, and you raised her to be patient and compassionate. That's quite a feat; and deserves praise.

 

Marisa ~ You must be ready for some fun in the sun Enjoy your week with your family-plus Your gathering at the beach sounds like my family, when we get together at my parents' condo at the beginning of summer -- immediate family, in-laws, and a few friends stirred in for fun. We'll be thinking of you. I hope you are able to get a bit of work done with the limited wifi, as I know you need to do that, but I also hope you packed a lot of yarn and can crochet (or knit) when the connection is *fuzzy*. Nice job of the Hobo Hearts Tote. Is there a farmers' market nearby, when you are on vacation, so that you can use your bag right away? Talk to you when you get back home.

 

Wrennie ~ :hugtoday. You are in my thoughts and prayers for strength.

 

Marlene ~ My prayers are with you and your DH as you wait to get a referral to the Mayo Clinic. I have heard nothing by good things about every department in their realm, and I am so hopeful they can find the root of your husband's painful attacks. You were right about the snow flying earlier here than where you are, but it ought to be a bit longer before the flakes start to accumulating in earnest, and then you will have to think about the driving conditions -- not yet, though As long as he's alright doing so, it sounds as though discontinuing the pain patches was a smart move. Yikes -- so much discomfort and nausea I hope the rain holds off through your friend's memorial service, today. Take care

 

Judy ~ I see that you, too, are enjoying the cooler temps. It was funny to picture Lucy all wound up and full of energy, when Sparkie just wanted a simple game of tug-of-war I'll bet he's thinking, "Won't she ever grow up and calm down?" :dog

 

Linda ~ You will have to let us know if the Miracle Noodles live-up to their hype. It sure would be good if you could find such products that tasted quite substantial, yet were still good for your diet. How scared you must have been last night, when your blood sugar was dropping. :hugOh, I worry for you. Hurry up, Tuesday, come so that you can talk to the dietitian and, hopefully, get some good suggestions to avoid such plunges in the future. Bless Kim's heart for cooperating so well, when you were feeling so lousy.

 

Tam ~ That was a funny story about the cake. You did a great job of fixing the "typ-o!" Please give another round of "Congrats" to Patrick. He sounds as though he is going to be busy with the new job, but I can just imagine how proud he will be as he learns to balance his responsibilities and practice more time-management skills

 

Joanne, Judy, Phyllis and Cheeria ~ Oooh, another weekend meet-up for a few of you. Have a great visit!!

I like spaghetti squash, too :fork Slow-and-steady progress will get you to the end of your shawl. You can do it

 

The sun is up. The twelve raindrops that leaked out of the cloud last night were not nearly enough to help the garden, so I am off to water the plants this a.m. This has been another good week of finishes, and I was able to do the sparkly tunic for Annika and Kyri's bookbag while I was at my parents' house. The bookbag still needs to be felted and the handle needs to be assembled, but the crocheting is done

 

I wish you all a good and safe Saturday
