See, I'm back! Ran some errands, did laundry, budgeting, cleaned the bird cage, gave the neighbors a heads up, unlocked my phone for travel, partial packing and preparing dinner for career girl. I'll cook the cranberries tomorrow and purge our son's room of the clothing drying rack. Don't need him stubbing his toe on the gizmo that his sister hangs her bras on to dry. ;-)

Hi Fran....I'm thinking we probably get pretty much the same weather forecasts, we really don't live all that far away from each other ....as the crow flies! I think the gray skies are beautiful, too! Up until about an hour ago I had my front door open, the fresh crisp air was nice....now it's gotten too crisp! lol


I know it sounds pretty crazy but this dog really does understand so much...it's amazing. If my DH tells me he'll be gardening, Breez will head out and waiting at the spot he plans to be working at....happens time and time again! Same happens when we're going out and she can go with us.....she waits to get our OK, then will wait patiently by the door...if we tell her she must stay home she goes to her sleep spot in the livingroom, clearly resigned to her fate! She has full run of the house and has never been destructive....she has her toy basket and knows whatever is there belongs to her! I know I'm bragging but she is the smartest dog I've ever had....and after being around my brothers' 2 Golden Retrievers, I'm convinced this particular breed is very intelligent. LOL....look at me rambling on like a overly proud Mom! haahaaaaa

Hi Cin......Nothing like being fashionably late huh? I was here earlier but got busy doing this and that around the house...lol, Dave and Julie should be here about 3:00pm, and I don't want to still be fussing with stuff when they arrive. Tom

Thank you for the good hugs and support Bree, much appreciated.


I am trying to take time to relax, but sad thoughts keep creeping into my mind. There are more bad things going on besides that which I have mentioned too and it's emotionally dragging me down. I just want all of my people happy and healthy!


Thank you very much for your prayers.

Thank you my friend for your prayers and support. There's more going on than I've already mentioned, one of my best girlfriends is getting ready to file for divorce, another person close to me is seeking marriage counseling, another person close to me has a troubled child. It's bad enough when one of your

Thank you Suzan for your continued prayers. We too were so not wanting to hear this news about Saundra. She is a determined and strong woman and will fight this with all of her might. She is an RN too, so knows how to interpret medical terms and such, so that is helpful.


I'm not going to cook Tday dinner, so it will be easy. Of course the table setting will have to be perfect though..lol! My DD's and their families will be going to the inlaw's homes for turkey dinner and John & I will have turkey dinner at DD2's inlaw's home too, so at our house later on

Yes, our tree is up because we won't be here next weekend to put it up...and Ethan and I were bugging DH to put it up ;)


I think it's about a 4-5 hour drive to S Dakota where our friends live....so not TOO bad, but bad enough with a 2 and 3 y/o.
