I was thinking the same thing about Mona. I hope things are OK.

Bobbiwoz Hope you are better. Safe travels.

Lynn I know I am fortunate to have my sons to ask for decision making. But I am one who does not like to ask for help so it has been a challenge for me. I am learning!

@bobbiwoz - take your time and don't stress. Hope you feel better.

@lynxstch @easyas123

Maybe Mona has a phone issue? Hopefully she is ok and will post soon.

Good morning…we travel north today, just to Emporia, VA. I am having issues, so delaying or departure as long as I can.

Hope everything calms down for you and you have a safe trip back up north.

Maybe Mona has a phone issue? Hopefully she is ok and will post soon.

Oh - that's a good possibility!

Thank you all so much. I'm okay. Long day and night yesterday and important final plan discussions while my dad was visiting me today. God-willing I promise to post early tomorrow morning and by sometime later have a final update as far as my decision on leaving this place or being able to stay in a way that would be positive and beneficial. Dad and I have agreed on our next step which will be determined by mid afternoon tomorrow. We both feel more at peace having a clearer way forward.

Connectivity is a daily issue here. I often have to turn my wifi off and then back on to make a call. My phone often automatically goes to voicemail without ringing. Notifications can be delayed too. It's a facility issue depending where you are in it. I am so grateful to God to have a phone and my beloved Dad first and foremost along with all of you my Quacker family through Christ to reach out to and check in and on with. Love and sweet dreams, everyone.

Mona Thank you for the update. We care about you and your path forward. It is nice that you have agreement on what your next step is based on discussions with the facility.

Bobbiwoz I hope you are doing better and had safe travels.

Pea Thinking of you.

Good morning. It is 42 now with temps going to the low 50s. Definitely a chill in the air. I had the water softener installed yesterday. I am so glad I went with the guy who installed it. It is a family company and he and his son do the work. He did a great job and is very good with information about the system and answering any questions. He left enough salt for 6-7 months. Kenny will help me reload the salt when needed. He said to call with any further questions or issues. I do need an electric outlet put in nearer to the system. He said in this complex that is always needed. He has installed about 40 systems here. He has an electrician he works with so he gave him my name and number to call me for an appt. A neighbor a few doors down had her outlet installed yesterday and said the electrician is great. So now I have an electrician name to add to my list. Right now there is a long extension cord going to an outlet on the other side of the basement.

So glad it is Friday. Not sure what will be going on this weekend. I do have a hair appt tomorrow morning. I may go to Ethan's soccer game tomorrow afternoon. I can get a ride with Kenny as it is an away game. I need to see when Jeff is available if at all this weekend.

Have a good day.

... With winter approaching one of my top features is a heated steering wheel. May sound silly but it's been on my last two and I don't like to go backwards. I've just found it's not randomly on most models but on specific ones. Leather and heated seats also but much easier to find. Safety features are much more standard now where everything beeps at you. I've gotten used to this and not going back. Drove DD's 2013 Honda and no beeps! Good thing I was super careful.

I think the Honda CRV Hybrid Sport Touring model comes with a heated steering wheel and heated, leather seats. A friend has one and loves it.

... I am looking into having Kenny install a reverse osmosis system just under the kitchen sink for that water.

We had a reverse osmosis system installed about 10 years ago. Love it! Use it for drinking and cooking. The kettle boils much cleaner now -- no mineral deposits to clean up!

That is right now the primary model I am considering. You have to go almost top of the line to get the feature on any car.

I think it's really helped with arthritis in my hands.

Another cool start to the day, 35 now going to 54.

It's getting scary the way people are driving on this long stretch of road.




That was across the street from my house. I was out in the back and heard a bang, but didn't think anything of it until I went to the living room and saw cars lined up in the street. I looked out and that's what I saw. Some lady (claims she hit a hole, but there are no holes or storm gulley's on that side of the road), and took out 3 mailboxes, then went through the parking lot of the bldg, and somehow ended up hitting the elec pole. No one can figure out how she got anywhere near the pole facing that direction. The pole is cracked, but it doesn't look like the electric company is going to do anything about it. I don't think it affected the wires, because the power didn't even flash off at all. There were no other cars involved. I could see inside and no airbags were deployed. The driver was fine, but the younger girl hit the windshield (which you can see), and refused treatment, despite having a large gash on her forehead with a flap of skin showing.
The little boys next door came running over holding a mailbox (their mother had gone across the street and picked them up) and asked if it was mine. Mine is in a locked cluster box across the street in the other direction. So it was her mailbox, the guy next door to her, and the one for the business that's in the bldg she drove through the parking lot of.
The 2 people in the car were sitting in chairs against that bldg waiting for a ride. Come to find out, it's the Aunt of the neighbor next door who was driving. Anyhow, one sheriff car left, the firetrucks and ambulance left, and 1 sheriff stayed to wait until the people's ride came. An hour later they were still all sitting out there, so the sheriff put them in his car and took them wherever.

That's 2 accidents dangerously close to my house in the last month, after not having any accidents out here in a couple of years.

Off to get laundry and chores done. Have a good day.

I care tremendously about all of you, too. Knowing each of you are okay, hearing how you are doing is so important to me because you all are

Extra hugs and Friday joy to all. I will check back in later.
