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 surgery
Ruth granddaughter is doing well and progressing. DIL is preparing for her surgery next week. I’am praying for her quick recovery.
I just got off the phone with a dear friend from Tennessee. We talked for over an hour!!!! She is one of my best friends and keep in touch and I confess, we talk way too long, LOL.
I then hurried up and made beef stew for tonight. It should be done in a couple of hours, I hope.
It is wonderful to have a friend like that to talk to.
hope.
We are going into the deep freeze this weekend with lows in the -30's and highs in the -teens!!! With the wind chill added, I don't even want to think how cold it will be.
We went to the grocery store today and are planning on staying inside until this cold passes. It's so nice to be able to do that now that we are both retired.
Wowwwwww…..-30 is really cold. I will not complain about it dropping down to 4.
I have been reading some of the SANs every day or so trying to catch up. Reading these posts helped me when I was not doing well
I’am so glad that you reading posts from your Sans family helped you Ruth. Continued prayers for you dear lady.
I will try and post more now. Hope everyone has a great weekend, and send warm thoughts our way
It is good to see you posting again.
Doing the my xmas present finally came in dance, can’t wait to use the All Clad set of cookwear that finally was delivered!
Enjoy your new cookware.
Lasagne in the oven, spaghetti & meat balls for one Dave, the other gets buttered noodles if his Camaro can make it up the mountain to our house. Salad, nice crisp baguettes and homer’s donuts for dessert. A real carb-fest
Sounds like a yummy dinnner. Hope your son was able to make it up the hill to your house to enjoy your good cooking.
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?
Dietary change pre-surgery is mostly instructed for intestinal surgeries here.
First picture I shared was from the hotel they are at, this one is from the Epcot show they just watched:
Nice photos of fireworks.
We have a place like that in our small city. They cater mostly to runners, but are great with helping to find proper shoes for people with foot issues.
This store is catering to runners and general folks alike looking for comfortable tennis shoes.
Hey all, quiet here. DS has had stomach bug, nice of him to share it with me. Milder than his, just issues late last night, today a good, old-fashioned, lingering stomach ache.
Hope you both are on the mend.
I did go to bed at a decent time but woke up sick and just plain miserable
about midnight.
Mac hope you and your hubby are doing well.
Thank you Robbie, he did have a lovely birthday and yes, we`re still celebrating tonight!
Mum is doing ok thanks, she has a tough week ahead but she`s such a trooper she`ll come through it all well.
Continued good wishes for your family Robbie, and for your DiL especially going forward, you do have a lot there and we can`t help but worry.
Good to hear you all have been celebrating Klye’s birthday in style.
Glad to hear you mom is doing well. Sending prayers for her in whatever she has coming up this week.
Massage including Indian head massage, facial and waxing. Plan to do an Olaplex treatment this afternoon then do my own hair later before we go out and get make up done then, always nice getting ready for a dressy night out and yes, another extended birthday celebration for our boy!!
A salon day of pampering is wonderful. Hope you had a wonderful time.
Well, Roger and I are the only people who dont want to do a cruise that I know of. There is just something about being out in all that water with loads of people? I really don't know why I don't want to do it, but I know alot of people who love it. Some of my best friends do a lot of cruises and love them. We are the odd ones out, it seems.
Hubby and I did a cruise many years ago. I was not a great fan. I have heard all these new ships are built better and are much more sturdy then the Carnival Cruise ship we were on almost 30 years ago.
The cruise industry has really grown over the years and folks do really love the experience.
I might get talked into a
Disney cruise by family in the future. Will see. Other wise I don’t have plans for any cruises in the near future.
I am doing much better now with my loss, but it is a daily reminder that hits when you don't expect it to. Time will help. I feel for the people in California who have lost their homes, all their personal possessions, and some lost their lives, in the fires. I don't know what's going to happen to them all. It takes a while to build a house and they have thousands to do. I imagine there is a big amount of debrie cleanup that has to be done so things are safe too. It makes you realize how lucky you are at times like this.
Take your time Ruth. Working through grief is so personal and everyone goes through it at their own pace. Continued prayers for you.
We had a blast last night, new steak restaurant is beautiful, not a huge place but very busy, staff did a wonderful job and food was amazing. Perfectly cooked steaks, all of us chose rare and my goodness they were as requested. And they had some lovely mocktails to choose from, we had some mango and passion fruit ones that were very nice indeed. But it was a very nice restaurant to extend our boys birthday celebrations.
Sounds like a yummy dinner. Extending Kyles birthday celebrations is a good thing.
Tamale pie last night and chili tonight to warm up a little. Might even have tacos for lunch somewhere.
Hope everyone stays warm and safe.
SW Sunday for a day trip. UO soon.
A good pot of chili is a great warming meal on a cold day. Enjoy.
Another cold day here. High here today is supposed to be 14 during the day and the low of 4 tonight burrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Getting caught up with appts canceled by the weather.
Did get my hair done on Wednesday last week. Had massage scheduled with the therapist yesterday, but she woke up sick so that was canceled. I told her to take care of herself.
Have pedicure and manicure scheduled this afternoon. So that will get the salon visits taken care of.
The guy we hired finished the yard debris clean up yesterday. Glad that is over with.
Gearing up to head South end of the week. I have looked at the weather window and it is predicted to be a warm up and sunshine that will be on our route down. So I have been trying to get some loose ends taken care of before we leave.
Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone doing whatever makes you happy.
Wishful thinking that it is Thursday. Fixed it.
. Yay, Taco Tuesday is here. 
n busy cooking, cleaning & going to Dr appts Heading out soon into city for one
Next week ends with the first day of February. Guess that’s why we’re are getting ready for what usually is our coolest month. Balmy 9 degrees when I left this morning. But high getting a bit warmer. Though still below freezing. 26 the high today. And stay safe Keisha. That cold and snowy and icy weather is no fun at all. Hope you are warm, with a fire going in your fireplace. And DJ, glad you were South enough in the state, that no snow seen. But ack, to pouring down rain. Hope you have some park fun planned soon.
