I am not fond of the present weather.
Feels like I am living back in the north.
Will have Mr Mac handle the food shopping today.
Well….believe I do need to write out a specific list in detail for Mr Mac next time he buys the groceries…..
Most of his food shopping was fine but the cat food he got a zero for it.
One cat will eat anything
The other cat is a challenge when it comes to food.
My sister is better. Granddaughter had her surgery Friday and is doing well. Daughter in law surgery is coming up next week. Hubby is up this morning. He has days were he is stronger and some days not. I told him life is a journey and we will travel it as it comes. Thank you for your good thoughts for my family Carole.Hope your sister does better and sending all good thoughts for all family procedures coming up. And as always good vibes for your husband, glad he is improving, albeit slowly.
Sounds like a fun time. Enjoy it.Well, my friend J and I had a blast at the dance class!! It was so much fun and I discovered I have five left feet not two! But we had a laugh and did learn some moves, I think both of us may ache a little in the morning as we did move a lot and we will be going back next week, nice group of people and the dance teacher is lovely, very patient!!
Sorry to hear you are having problems with your eyes sounds perplexing indeed. Does sound like an allergic reaction to something. Hope they are able to find out what the problem is.Spent afternoon @ eye dr. happy to wait while they squeezed me into rotation. Since September have had increasing episodes of having my upper & lower eye lids randomly swell up. No ascertainable pattern I could determine.
could barely see out the one eye as so swollen underneath this am. Dr categorized it as severe, thinking it’s allergies of dermatological origin.
At least nothing worse! Had full allergy screen last year due to breathing issues, know what my issues are there. Prescribed 2 RX to knock down the swelling and redness, told I should see some improvement by the weekend.
That is scary. Those Mobile home stories in extreme weather conditions are terrifying.Saw a story on the news of a man in WV, in a mobile home, who had just gotten up out of his recliner during the recent storm. A huge tree fell on his home and, literally took out the whole room where he had been sitting.
Sorry to hear B is sick. Those sinus infections can be miserable. Sending prayers she gets well soon.as been diagnosed with a sinus infection. Poor child has been coughing so much she can hardly sleep at night. Hopefully the medication she was prescribed will help.
Beautiful picture of the winter scene in the woods.Another frosty and bitterly cold morning out there, it`s not light yet but looks to be another day of sunshine and cold. I forgot to post this yesterday, one of the snaps from our walk which doesn`t show just how bliddy cold it was! This is in the woods not far from us, and no ducks! Think they were all hibernating.
Prayers for your friends and all those affected by the fires in California. Very devastating for folks to loose their homes and lives in such a tragic situation.Hope everyone stays warm and safe
Frosty here but my brother in KC has been sending me pictures of his " heavy frost " AKA snow this morning.
Have friends who've had to evacuate the Palisades fire but aren't sure if the house is safe. That has to be heartwrenching.
Still cold and still have ice with snow on top in the yards, but the guy we hired to get the reachable branches and debris showed up this morning to start clean this morning. The other major tree work will be done when the tree company gets time.I hope the digging out is completed now and things are starting to get back to normal again. That would not be easy to clean up!!!! Your family is very lucky to have you looking after them. I hope they all continue to recover - no matter the pace.
Ruth continued prayers coming your way. Take your time and heal. Your Sans family is here for you. Lots of hugs and good thoughts being sent your way.I enjoy reading all your posts. It gave me joy and an escape from things to read those.
I will be back to posting soon. Take care all,
Me too.I will be thrilled when when our cold front disappears.
Nasty cold all day.
I’am sure Kyle’s office associates were happy campers to receive you tasty flourless chocolate cake.Busy morning, dropped off the cake slices to Kyle`s office, they were very happy!!! They are all just the nicest people that he works with. Then headed to school, had a lovely couple of hours reading to the little ones, drove to a store and picked up Kyle two shirts I think he`ll love to go with his birthday presents, came home and made lunch, those sub rolls are lovely and went down nicely with the beef.
Lavender smells so good and looks pretty in the yard. Great choice.Fresh pot of tea on the go, will have another cup then head down to see what`s being organised, I would like some more lavender around the place this summer that`s my input!
They can be miserable. Hope the antibiotics do the trickB has been diagnosed with a sinus infection
Today my last day of steroids! Woohoo. Hoping the color of my eye area/face goes back to its norm. It’s still a bit technicolor.Hope you see some improvement soon.
I’d be lost without mineIT's a good thing, I am taller and can crawl up. WE don't have a low profile boxspring. We may have to look into getting a new one. We will see.
Well, it’s a PG thread…OOOOO what do you have planned for him!
Interesting, never heard of thatI found out if I get too much sun on my face now - my eyes do the same thing. I look like someone from Avatar.
They are shipping out here, several pilots flying those DC10’sWe found out a family member who is a wildfire firefighter has been put on standby, as they may be deployed there to help out as well.
Good to hear from you Ruth. You will get there when you get there. HugsI know that this will pass and I will feel like doing things again, but it's still too new to me.
Same, otherwise, I’d need a step ladder the way they make mattresses so deep these daysWe don’t have a box spring. It made the bed way too high. We have a platform bed instead
Best wishes there!He has days were he is stronger and some days not. I told him life is a journey and we will travel it as it comes
The only way somebody survives that is by the grace of God!A man who lived in one of the trailers said the tornado ripped him through the wall of his trailer
That sounds perfectly lovelyGetting things ready to head south when we can.
Know many who have used those services. The podiatrist, who did my inserts evaluates my feet annually. Over the years, I’ve begun ‘over-pronating’ and have an ‘off” foot strike. What’s weird is I’ve discovered that each foot can be slightly different.He was wonderful. I’am hoping these tennis shoes with help with all the walking I usually do at the parks.
Snow did not last but a very brief time the past day.
Now it’s just cold here and plan to stay in the house.
What I consider cold, most will say weather is just fine.
Good Tuesday morning everyone

When the really bad Tornado came through here in 2004 there was a really nice trailer area near the river a few miles from here and it was hit by the tornado when it crossed the river from Kentucky.
A man who lived in one of the trailers said the tornado ripped him through the wall of his trailer and tore off his pajamas and threw him through the wall of the next door neighbors trailer and he woke up nude laying in the neighbors living room and severly injured and lived to tell the story.

Up early this morning. Sun is shining. That makes the day better already.
Our main roads are safe and clear, but side roads are still a little iffy with snow and ice.
We got another 5 inches of snow on Friday. I had to run out and pick up a few things and had trouble getting up the hill to our neighborhood, but finally made it.
The new ignitor is on the downstairs heating system. We have had not problems so far. Fingers and toes crossed.
The guy has showed up today to start some of the tree limb clean up this morning. He will do what he can reach with chainsaw until Tree company can get over to do the major tree top clean up.
The major roads are clean and easy to get around on. I got out yesterday and do some errands that needed to be done.
Going to try and catch up on all appointments that had to be canceled do to weather.
Hubby has hair appt and appt with his Orthopaedic doctor this afternoon. I need to get my appts rescheduled. Getting things ready to head south when we can.
What do you do when you have plenty of time your hands, make hotel reservations for trips I would like to take. Did look at date windows that would work for me if the trips are possible.
I did get by to the locally owned and recommended shoe store that does fitting for shoes and tennis shoes. It has been on my radar for awhile. It was quite the process. They do foot measurements and have you strep on computer generated machine that looks to address stress issues on your feet.
I had a very nice knowledgable young man working with me. We did come up with a pair of tennis shoes after looking at a number of options. I gave the fellow a nice tip. He was wonderful. I’am hoping these tennis shoes with help with all the walking I usually do at the parks.
We are supposed to stay cold until Friday will have a warm up to 45 then right back down to cold weather.
Off to get some appts managed.
Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone doing whatever makes you happy.
Hey all, long cold spell, today the pits. Not sure we got into the teens & steady, light snow.
Have been productive, cleaning out drawers. Bagging stuff up to donate. Today, made beef veggie soup, almost done. Also, some brownies and 2 doz of cornmeal muffins. Will probably freeze up half of them and pull out when needed. Like having stuff like that in the freezer
They can be miserable. Hope the antibiotics do the trick
Today my last day of steroids! Woohoo. Hoping the color of my eye area/face goes back to its norm. It’s still a bit technicolor.
I’d be lost without mine
Well, it’s a PG thread…
JK, booked a cruise out of TPA end of May into June on RCCL. We were on one of biggest ships in December, this time, the smallest lol. However, bucket list ports he’s wanted to see. Should be happy as a clam when he finds out…otherwise I’ll need to get a she-shed
Interesting, never heard of that

Thanks Lynne. Hubby is making some progress. He got his hair cut and was happy with the results. The lady that does his hair is wonderful.Yay for Robo booking trips. Maybe we can say hello one of those times. Hope your husband is doing better, as hope his appointment goes well, and enjoys his haircut. And yay, for hopefully, having no hurting shoes when found one that fits you. Safe travels when you do head South.
Wow….sound like you are being productive with all the cleaning. Beef veggie soup sound yummy.Have been productive, cleaning out drawers. Bagging stuff up to donate.

Yes, for sure each foot can be slightly different. My left food pronates more than my right one. It does really cause issues if shoes are not just right.Know many who have used those services.

Thank you Carole. Granddaughter is dong well post surgery. Daughter in laws knee surgery is in 2 weeks.Glad to hear your sister and granddaughter are doing well, continued good wishes for your husband and special wishes for daughter in law next week. You have had a lot of worry with all of them as you say life is a journey we all just get on as best we can.
Yes, hoping these new shoes help a lot. Looking forward to giving them a good try out for Mardi Gras if possible.Happy new training shoes!! One thing that has to be comfy is one`s shoes.
If all works well as planned we hope to head south in a week. Fingers and toes crossed.Hope you get down South soon Robbie and everyone gets a clean bill of health.
Oh Robbie, seems like you have had your share of family surgeries. I hope your granddaughter is doing well and your DIL does well with her surgeryMy sister is better. Granddaughter had her surgery Friday and is doing well. Daughter in law surgery is
Janet, all of that sounds wonderful. Veggie soup sound so good in these cold days. I am making beef stew today which is always good in cold weather.Have been productive, cleaning out drawers.

I hope the steroids work for you and you get back to normal soon.Today my last day of steroids! Woohoo. Hoping the color of my eye area/face goes back to its norm. It’s still a bit technicolor.
Yes, I second that!Hope you get down South soon Robbie and everyone gets a clean bill of health.
I love cornbread too. I learned how to make Southern cornbread from my sisterinlaw who was raised in the South. I have tweaked it a little making it Northern corn bread now, LOL. I'm going to make white beans and ham (I know you don't like beans and are scrunching up your face right nowhuge cornbread fan here,
Congratulations to Kyle for his birthday!I think he had a nice birthday, meal was lovely and some nice company too.
Another celebration sounds wonderfulWe`ll celebrate again by taking him out to dinner on Saturday night at the steak restaurant, all reviews are wonderful for it. Like Janet and family, we`ll extend all celebrations where we can!!!
That photo looks great. Wish I was there.And kids sent me this picture last night:
Yes, I remember waiting for the blessed Friday's to come when I worked. Not too far away for you now.then only day away from that most fabulous Friday.
I didn't know you were going on a cruise! Where are you going? I know you will have a great time on your cruise. I hope your eye problem clears up soon!Janet have fun on your cruise!
Looks like across lake from Riviera? Taken from the gondolas?Lucky kids.
If you can’t find something to eat you like on a cruise, you just aren’t trying lolJanet have fun on your cruise!
I read it always provides great food!
Well, I used to own a cleaning company. Sold it after I found myself actually filling in once too many for ahem unreliable workers who just weren’t feeling it. Actually, had one girl tell me that in a call off once lolBy the way, do you hire out for cleaning….
I am eons behind on organizing and cleaning..
I’m all about KT tape in the parks for feet/ankles etc.I have found some great tape
Good to hear. Curious, trend here last few years is to advise people to go on a special pre surgery diet for at least a couple of weeks. Interesting concept, clean sort of food & increased movement. do they suggest that in your neck of the woods?Granddaughter is dong well post surgery. Daughter in laws knee surgery is in 2 weeks.
