Denine, Matzo meal is a great idea. Worth checking out Heidi! We have yucky leaves to rake up. The wind always seems to leave the leaves in our treeless yard.

I have no idea where to even look for Matzo Meal!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Heidi, I believe it is in the ethnic aisle. For some reason, at Super Target, I am thinking if you face the meats, that it is on the left. Don't know that for sure. Just what's in my mind.

 

[Denine]

Heidi: Matzo meal is a Jewish item. It is in the ethnic aisle or should be.

Sweetest Day: Cards, dinner out, flowers or whatever. We usually exchange cards and I make a nice meal or something. It is like V day trying to get ressies at a restuarant around here. It is always the 3rd Saturday in October. We got married on Sweetest Day, although it wasn't planned. Jerry just liked the date; 10-19-1991. I think I will chill a bottle of Rosa Regale for tomorrow night.

No real end in sight for our weather. Supposed to get up into the 50's next week. This still puts us at least 10 degrees below normal. We haven't had Indian Summer yet, and it isn't looking good for having one.

Hey guess what? It is cold and gray and raining....again.

We are off to Amish today.

Happy Sweetest Day!

Happy Sweetest Day, Denine!

Had a great day today. Went to Pikes Peak, had a great dinner, went shopping in Colorado Springs and ended up at Stacey's house. Fun, fun, fun!

 

[Denine]

The sun is actually out! Only supposed to be 50, but at least the sun is out.

We had an OK time in Amish. It was a nice drive and a nice lunch, but it was SOOOO crowded that we didn't stay to look in any stores. We did stop at one to buy pumpkins though.

I haven't heard anything from Julie on her dad's status. I left her a message.

Good Morning
I am back amoung the living, well mostly. I did get out yesterday long enough to get Tiffany some running shoes and take her to the airport. I still have a horrible cough and it feels like there is a rubber band around my lungs and my back hurts but at least I am out of bed. YAY! I get to go back to work tomorrow for 2 days then Bob and I are leaving for New Hampshire to visit his family. I am going to try and get in with out NP at work to make sure I am not contagious anymore. So weird to have this horrible cough and not having it be the result of a runny nose. My breaths are short because I cant seem to fill up my lungs. Yesterday in the shower I guess I had not been on my feet for that long in a while I started gasping for air and could not breath it was really scarey. I got a small taste of what my Dad goes through every day

 

[Mickey02]

Wanted to back read some of the posts I have missed. Didn't find the one about Julies Dad but from the ones I did see, Julie I am thinking about you and here is my long distance hug

My .02 worth on the balloon thing...Hope somebodys DAD gets the book thrown at him! I keep thinking has he never had a 6 year old before?? Did he forget it is still unnatual for them to lie?? Idiot!

Heidi-Welcome to the flu shot world. Been getting one for the past few years. I held out as long as I could swearing up and down I never got sick. Took 2 years in a row of getting the flu that I decide to be a joiner! Oh and get this. I got my flu shot on Thursday and came down with this H1N1 on Sunday. Where is the justice! I think I should have been rewarded brownie points for getting the shot! Even though I know I would have gotten it anyway I still feel cheated! I do wonder if I got the flu worse because of the shot.

I have not touched my Karebear in a week and had very little interaction with either one of the kids. I sure miss hold her. She will look at me and krinkle up her little nose when she smiles. ~melt~

Sweetest day eh? Denine you make my laugh. You are always so on top of things.

 

[Boardwalk Garry]

Just got the call that they want to take all the machines off of Julie's dad and that this is most likely it.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Just read Garry's post on Facebook and came over here. I am so sorry to hear about it. Julie, you are in our prayers along with your father.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Checking on Julie........

Hoping Susan is doing good. She's in my mind, also.

 

[Schrolls]

My love and prayers to Julie's father, Julie and her family. My God grant them peace and comfort during this very hard time.

 

[Mickey02]

Garry & Julie-I am so sorry to hear about Julies Dad. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Julie, I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. You are in my heart and prayers. Love you!

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Julie and Gary, I am so sorry for your loss. You guys are in my prayers. I wish we could be there to give you hugs. We love you.

Barb - I am glad you are feeling a little better to get out of bed. What a horrible thing to have. I always get my flu shot every year since I was a kid, but I am just a big wimp due to my fear of needles! I hope you are not contagious anymore so you can go to NH.

Denine - We got our pumpkin this weekend too! We went to the pumpkin patch with the girls yesterday and we all picked out a pumpkin. Of course it was a little more than just purchasing one at the grocery store, but it was fun to walk through the patch and cut it off!

Today is suppose to be 80 and then by mid-week snowing. No wonder why I keep having horrible headaches with all these huge temperature changes.

 

[Denine]

Barb: Glad you are feeling better. Make sure you get to the NP though. I sure hope no one in this house comes down with it.

Julie: Please let me know what the times for everything are. We will be there.

Sweetest Day: Created in 1921 here in Cleveland by a few candy companies trying to sell more candy. It never really caught on in too many places. Disney used to make an SD pin every year, but they stopped. I was bummed. It really is just like a 2nd Valentine's Day.

Heidi: We saw a pick your own pumkin field, You would have needed hip boots to get in it. We got 3 huge pumpkins in Amish for $3 each.

Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband!

I was coming back because I forgot:

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DENINE AND JERRY

 

[Denine]

Thanks Heidi: 18 wonderful years

I was just talking to Sally. Barb saw the NP and they sent her for chest x-rays to rule out viral pneumonia. I was afraid she may have gotten it.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Morning all. Ooops, afternoon all.

FIrst off, more hugs to Julie and hope she is doing the best she can in this situation. Bless her heart.

Denine, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!

Ok you want to hear what happened to me yesterday? We went to our favorite restaurant. I was busy talking to Ted and then all of a sudden a lady said something to me and I asked "what?". She asked me what my problem was. I didn't have a clue what she was talking about. She told me to quit staring at them. I have no clue what in the world she was talking about. I never noticed her until she asked me what the problem was. I do know that I GLANCED over at a different section and noticed that there was a booth open and wondered why we weren't seated there. I said something to Ted and then he looked over. I guess she took it as we were checking them out. I never even noticed her booth. Good grief. It bothered me during the entire meal. They kept sending up people to stare at us. It was the most uncomfortable feeling I have ever had. I even wondered if they would "jump" us outside.. I told our favorite server because I honestly was fearful and wanted him to know that there was a "situation" in the restaurant. My voice was crackly and close to crying. He was so nice to me. I mean he always is but he hugged me and kept checking in on me. Bless his heart, her table was in his section as well. When they left he came back and we had a nice talk about "some people" are insecure, blah, blah. He wanted me to know that it was them and not me, reassuring me that I am a nice person. It honestly didn't leave my mind the whole day.

Barb, how are you feeling. Please check in as soon as you can.
