Well mom's in full on stroke mode today. Face drooping, right side numb, and can't really walk for more than a few steps. Neuro sent her for another ct scan this morning and we should be getting the results of it soon. It won't show anything though. So they are just going to put her on a different blood thinner that she was actually on before right after she had her first stroke. So I think that shows how well it's going to work.

I'm sorry to here about this Made.... praying for you both my friend~
 
My wife and I still are part of the "dumb" phone universe, we are holding out but the time to get "smart" will be sooner than we know.

Yup, I'm still part of the dumb phone crowd as well, so your not alone. I'm resisting the smart phone, only because I am afraid that once I get one, I will like it, and then I will be hooked. I can see myself loosing more and more of my internet free world.....Just a personal choice! I like sometimes, not to know what is going on in the world, everyone's life, if someone is taking a selfie while sitting in the out-house (LOL! Just being sarcastic)! Sometimes, ignorance is bliss....

I resisted for a long time, but I've had a "smart" phone for a few years now. I don't get lost in the internet with it like my son does, but it's handy when you need to look up something quickly and can't get to your computer.

Go ahead and dive in!
 
Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

I stubbed my pinky toe the day before yesterday, and it's still throbbing! I've been getting Nancy to doctor it for me every morning. It's hard to put on steel-toe boots with a sore toe!

I worked on my side business for a while yesterday afternoon, then we had dinner with Nancy's dad, Bernie. Mrs. Hilda went on a trip to Michigan with Nancy's sister, who's attending a conference. They won't be back till Sunday, and I think he's already lonely.

I finally won an Ebay auction! It's not the one I wanted the most, I lost that one, but this one will look pretty cool in the Camaro!

I hope y'all have a great day! :D
 
Good morning MMC! Happy Hump/Pines/WednesDAY!!

I took Gracie to the vet last night for her blood pressure reading & she did great. I couldn't believe how still she laid for us so they could get 5 readings. She was all fired up, panting like crazy but her BP was a little on the low side, but not TOO low, so they probably won't change a thing & we'll re-test again in 3 months. I'm sure it would have been lower if they could take it at home when she is in her relaxed state, but as long as she's doing good, we'll go with it! The specialist is supposed to be giving us a call after she see's the readings.

After we got home I mixed up a batch of Peach Salsa & then realized I didn't have any brown sugar, so I'll have to cook it tonight after I get some. I also made another batch of fresh salsa & then started mowing lawn around 7:45 & I realized it's not going to be long & 7:45 will be too late to start mowing ~ it was getting dark on me! Boooo! Then I threw together a pot roast in the crock pot for tonight since I get my hair cut/color at 6:45 & I have salsa to cook. Busy coupla days! ;)

Have a Wonderful Wednesday everyone!!! I'm off to catch up on here!
:gifty
 
Good morning Snowflake, I'm so sorry you & Harlowe had to deal with storms again (((hugs)))
Continued prayers for your FIL, I hope they figure out what's going on and he gets some relief soon. Keeping you and Adrian in my thoughts and prayers.

(((Hugs)))

How are you and Maggie doing? Continued prayers.

Good afternoon,

I am all caught up, it took nearly 2 hours, but I am back where I should be.

It is a scorcher out there today, we have the AC going keeping us nice and cool.
After the last of family left yesterday, we went and visited my grandfather, it was great to spend a few hours with him. Thursday is the 1st anniversary of my grandmother's passing, so it was important to see him. He is 93 years old, and the stories he was telling us were amazing. His job of running the Rockefeller Center elevator during the 30's and after the war in the 40's, his travelling of the world during WWII with the army, the meeting of my grandmother. We were all enthralled, especially JP. Just so fascinating to hear all he went through.
Today is a down day, my wife is at the school getting ready for the first week of school next week, she promised to take me out for ice cream for watching the boys and another one of her teacher friends kids. Fair trade. :)
I will be around most of the rest of the day.
I hope you all are enjoying your Tuesday.

Sounds like a great day! Hope you enjoyed the ice cream! Enjoy another day of vaca today...
 
Well, I've got news for everyone, but our Farmers Alamanc back home here is saying a long and wet winter for most of the U.S. Eww!!!

"-- Just when you thought you had gotten over last winter, be warned: The Old Farmer's Almanac predicts it will be super cold with a slew of snow for much of the country, even in places that don't usually see too much of it, like the Pacific Northwest."

That's one time I do like snow - over Christmas - it seems we never get snow at Christmas. It would be lovely to be seeing snow Christmas morning!

As far as I'm concerned it can start snowing in November, but I want it to be done by March!! Am I asking too much?? :D

Good morning, Brad! Ouch - sorry to hear about your toe! Hope you feel better soon! That's nice of you to go visit Bernie! I'm sure he is lonely without Mrs. Hilda being there - hope she and Nancy's sister have a great time and safe travels!

Congrats on the win on eBay! I bet it will look great in the Camaro!

Hope you have a great day!
 
I love snow, it is so beautiful and magical.
That being said, there is a cut off for me too. After 7+ months of it, I'm done. Driving in it is not fun.
It's a must over Christmas! :snowball
Amen!
 
She's doing well, thank you! Her incision is still swollen on the underneath side, but it looks okay otherwise and when I push on it, it doesn't bother her at all. I think it just because she is up and down so much, compared to the first two days. Thanks for asking! Glad to hear again that Har is doing so much better! ♥️

Glad to hear Ella is doing well! I hope her incision heals quickly! Continued prayers!
 
Merry Evening! Hope you are all having a good day and week so far. I bought my first Christmas scented candle! It's a colour changing one. I never had one of those so I'm anxious to use it. I also bought some gingerbread wax melts, smells lovely! Speaking of candles. Mum and I were in the city and there is a new Yankee Candle shop !!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo hoo. No Christmas or Halloween scents yet but can't wait to check it out!

The big card shop started their Christmas cards display along with gift wrap and bags. Mum and I bought our Christmas cards for each other today. We thought it made sense to swap and save on the hassle of posting since she can take hers back and leave ours for when the season gets here. Going to write hers and my brother's this week. We won't open till the season though. Is this weird hahaha!!

Ok well have a lovely evening all.

xxx
I love it! That sounds like such a fun day with your mum! What an awesome & fun idea buying Christmas cards for each other! Enjoy the rest of your mums stay!
 
Well, it's official ...
This is the third day straight that I've worked 10 hours or more. Don't know when I can get out tonight.
Sorry to hear that! I hope today is a better day! xx

Good morning everyone, Happy Pines Day!
I don't have a lot of time this morning, I'm heading out soon for a dentist appointment. Just a routine cleaning today. I have a few errands to run afterward so I'll catch up here later. Keeping all of you in my thoughts.
Hope everyone has a nice day!

Good Morning, Hmg~
Happy Pines Day to you!
Hope that your dental appointment & errands go well today.
Have a blessed day!

That's what I've heard too!
I'm the same way you are - I would love for it to just stop by the end of March too, but we all know it never will...blah!
