Hi Gail,
No I did not like milk then either. I would drink chocolate milk once in awhile but that was about it. My mom use to get upset with me because I would not drink it. I did not like milk in my cereal or oat meal either. I do like things like cottage cheese and yogurt. So I guess that makes up for not drinking milk.
I would get the pool it would be so nice to get in there and get your exercise. It is so much easier to move in the water then it is to move on the floor. Just to sit in the water on a hot day would be really nice. That is nice that Greg wants the mats now. It will make a good Christmas present. I have no idea what I am going to get for Ron.
That is so cool that the Cubs are in the play offs. They do deserve it. I do hope that they win but this time it will be nice no matter who wins. It is nice to have two teams playing that have not won in a while. This is going to be a good year.
The kids have not said what they are going to be for Halloween. I have not seen Ethan and Kaylee for awhile. Will have to call them and ask them what they want to be. I will see Ethan and Aliza on Saturday. It is Brooklin’s birthday and we will go to her house for her birthday party. She will be 15 wow time flies.
Sorry that Piper is still not over her sore throat yet. Why is it that little ones do not like to let you look in their mouths. Is she going to school? We have been having some really nice weather here so hope it is there and she can get out in the fresh air.
I hope that you do not catch that either. You do not want to be sick around this time of the year.
Have a good day.
Colleen

Hi Sue,
Your chicken sounds really good. That is a good idea to turn the oven on to help heat up the house. We have our heaters on right now but not the furnace. We will wait until the end of October to turn that on. We still have our air conditioner in the window.
We have had some cool weather but it is normal for us not to get really cold until after Halloween. So it is normal around here.
Have fun baking. It is the right time of the year for it.

Hi DD
They are checking everything. I just hope they find it and get this over with. How is your back doing? I hope that you are not having anymore trouble with it. That is rough when your back hurts.
That must be a mess where that explosion happened. It is good that people are walking around there and helping those businesses out. I hope that the bagel shop is up and running again soon. I guess the construction company will have to pay for the damages to the building. At least they should.
Have you tried spraying that white snow on your tree. I do not know how that would work but it would be worth a try. I really like those trees that they had on today also. We are going to have to get a new tree soon. We will give out old one to my youngest daughter. We got it from QVC a long time ago. It has really been a good tree but I think that we are going to get a smaller one. I am not sure yet. The one we have now is a 6 and 1/2 ft. tree. It is really pretty. I would like to have the newer trees that you plug things into the pole and there is only one plug in on them. Maybe after Christmas they will have a good sale on one of them. We usually start decorating Thanks giving evening. We do it when the kids are here and they help to put up the tree. I would like to start putting my Santa’s up early this year. But it will not be until after Halloween.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.

Hi Barbara,
I am glad that it was not an ulcer because I do not like milk. Ron reminded me of that. I guess that he was trying to make me feel better. You are right all of the tests that they are doing leads to the next one. They are sure they will find out what is causing it so will have to wait and see. Need to just stop complaining and get on with things. We have the holidays coming and we need to get the house ready for that. I cannot wait to get all of my Santa’s out for the year. I may start putting them out early.
You handled that really well with Sarah. I hope that she told you some time that you can help with Colin. It will be a pleasure to watch him and get to spend the time with him. Jerry will come around once Colin starts to do cute things and jabbering and laughing. That always wins Ron over every time that the grands did that. Men are slow at getting into the grandpa mode. My grandson said it best all she does is just lay there and does nothing but cry. Now that she is more active he is really into doing things with her.
The girls on qvc do not know what hangy parts and stuff that we have. They talk about their arms but they should see mine. They wave in the wind. I never knew that I could have that much flab all over the place. There was this one girl cannot remember which one it was that was worried about how her legs looked when she sat down. I thought yea you have all kinds of fat spreading out. I have elephant legs and that is ugly.lol
Well I will get off my soap box for tonight. Have a great night.

Hi Gail,
Yea Cubs they won tonight. You know that you were watching the game also. I guess that Cleveland has not won a world series for a long time either. I still think that the Cubs should win. Cleveland can win next year. But only if the Cardinals are not playing in the play offs. lol
You should have asked for those mats a long time ago. Your pool would be in already.lol You never know what a man will come up with next. If Greg is like Ron if he has all winter to think about it he will change his mind. The girls have been begging their dad to put a pool in for a long time but he will not give in and do it. It would be nice to have one it would give the kids something to do in the summer. We would see them a lot more.
Poor little Piper. I hope she is feeling better tomorrow. It must have been hard to watch her just want to snuggle and not be her bouncy self. At least she did her interpretive dance. Maybe that was a good sign. I hope that you do not come down with what ever they have. You seem to get it really bad when you get it.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

Hi Ladies,
Well I had the test done and they did not find anything. So now it is more tests and blood work and all types of things. I am so irritated and wish this was all over with. I could not really talk about if for a few days. I was so upset and felt like there was nothing wrong it was all in my head. The doc that did the test told me that it did not mean that what was going on with me was not real. He said that there is something wrong they just have to find what it is. So I just have to go with that and hope they find it.
Gail, That is cool that Greg is talking about putting a pool in. I would love to have a pool here. We sure have enough room for a pool. I know that we need a fence and maybe a pool house. lol A pool house would be ideal. We would not have to worry about animals getting in the pool. That was good that he got his shot in the back and it all went well. It does help and is worth getting. The cubs are doing really well. They did a come back and they may win. I am rooting for them. Ron is now rooting for Cleveland. He cannot make up his mind.
DD, I am glad to hear that you are okay. That would be scary to hear the blasts and the building shaking. It was so lucky that no one was killed and not many were hurt. The first responders did a good job getting the people out of the buildings. How terrible that those two business were completely destroyed. I hope that they will be able to rebuild. What a terrible way to for you day to end, Love your pictures again. You always find the cutest ones to post on here. They always make me smile.
Adele, I am glad that Gary is doing okay. Hope that they do not have to do that again. I hope that things went well for Nancy’s son. I know this must be really hard on her. We will be praying for her son and that he is okay. That is interesting that there is a time to eat Chinese food. I will have to remember that. We have gone out to eat Chinese for lunch. We were breaking the rules. lol
Barbara, I complain more then I should. I know that everyone gets tired of hearing about it. That was a very nice thing to say. You are a nice person. It is hard when your kids get older and they want to do other things then what we would have liked for them to do. it does not bother Ron like it does me. he just tells me not to worry about it. He goes outside and works on his lawn mowers. We actually went down the road the other day and there was something laying there and he did not pick it up. I could not believe it. He drove past it and did not take a second look. It was still laying there two days later. This must be killing him lol He bought a bubble gun machine the other day that does not work because it is missing some pieces. I have no idea what he is going to do with it but it is sitting in our sun room. It is a double one and those are rare. I can see why if none of them work. Has Gary been picking any more things up? I would just come right out and ask Sarah if you can help with the baby after she goes back to work.Tell her what you are willing to do. If it watch him at night for her just tell her. She may not want to impose on you.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

Hi Adele,
Gary is having the stents out tomorrow and Greg is getting a shot in his back tomorrow. That is unusual that they are both getting those things done on the same day. I hope that it all goes well for Gary. I will be praying for Gary and Greg.
It will be interesting to see who gets voted off the show tonight. I am not sure who I want to see go this week. I do not like that Amber Rose that much but she is getting better. It will be interesting to see who wins. It is hard sometimes to watch Tara with Sasha. She is so tiny and she really has to run to do the dance that he wants her to do sometimes. I have a niece that is a little person and she has really short legs like Tara has. We have to watch how fast we walk or she has a hard time keeping up. It is funny because I have heard Tonya talk about how hard it is to get shoes. She can get light tennis shoes though.
I cannot even get into my e-mails at all. They have locked me out for some reason. I do not know if someone has hacked in and changed everything in my account or what happened. They will not take my pass word anymore.It is really aggravating.
Well that is about it for now. Have a good night.

Hi Gail,
I cannot get into my e-mail at all on my personal e-mail account. It is driving me crazy. This happened after I changed my pass word. I remember the new one but it says that it is wrong. So have sent a thing saying that cannot remember my pass word but that does not help. THey just sent me a thing saying it is the wrong pass word even if I try to change it. I am about ready to scream. Now I will have to get a new e-mail address and try to get all of my e-mails off the old site. There is no way you can get in touch with a person from yahoo they just send you back to the same place. It is aggravating.
Ron does like to aggravate me. That has become his new pass time. I am thinking of finding him a job so he will be too tired to think of ways to aggravate me. I think that he is a lot like his dad was. He was nice but did like to aggravate Ron’s mom.
I hope that things go well for Greg tomorrow at the doctor. You will probably be able to go out to dinner tomorrow night for your birthday. Those shots do not make you tired or hurt you. The ones that I had did not keep me from doing other things. That is not a good way to celebrate your birthday. You need to celebrate on the 19th also. That day you can sleep in and just have a great a lazy day.
Well that is about all from here. Just nervous about Wednesday. Wish it was over with and they knew what was going on. It will be here before I know it.
Have a good night
Colleen
