Hi Colleen,
We got snow here last night and it’s still snowing this morning and blowing so even if the roads are plowed they fill back in with the wind. It’s supposed to drop to minus nine here tonight too. Brrrrr!
Poor Owen-I hope his arm will heal quickly. I bet that really hurt him. I can’t even imagine. Did he break the arm that he uses for writing?
Boy it sounds like the parents really want to take over the raising of their grandkids. I can’t believe they can have the granddaughter every weekend. Wonder what the son thinks of what they are doing. I hope he is paying child support for these children. I hope you and Brook and Kylie get to go out for that lunch soon. That will be a fun day to go out with them-maybe lunch and a little shopping.
I would wear the dream jeans and a top to the show too. No one gets dressed up anymore to go to plays or concerts-it’s all blue jeans. Even when you go to the theater in a big city like Chicago-everything is so casual now. Restaurants are the same way. Even the really nice restaurants are casual dress. We are just kind of a blue jeans society. It seems like the only thing people dress up for anymore is a wedding-unless you are a movie star and go to fancy parties. lol

Hi Adele,
I hope you are feeling better today and no one else in the house got sick.
Poor little Sonny. Brent used to get constipated too when he was little. How his little tummy used to hurt and how he used to cry. I feel bad for him. does she have to water the prune juice down? When Brent got older and could eat the pediatrician told me I could give him black licorice for the constipation.
I’ll bet you had fun with Aizen this weekend and he had both you and Heather all to himself.
I can’t get the flu shot but i always try to make sure that Greg gets it so he doesn’t bring home germs to me. His nose has been all congested and he started getting a rash and couldn’t figure out why and he finally figured out that he is probably allergic to the wood that he is making his latest guitar out of. I guess a lot of people have reactions from working with Brazilian rosewood-so now when he works he gloves up and wears a mask and it’s slowly getting better. he’s also been using a neti pot and says it helps.
I watched a little of the Oscars as i like to see the dresses and the jewels. I often wonder if most of those people would rather be chilling at home in their sweats rather than all spanxed up in those fancy outfits.
I have a lot of the opener gadgets too. My favorite is the jar popper that breaks the seals on things like jars of pickles and such. It’s a godsend. I can still open the pill bottles. My Mom always complained about the child proof caps and said the kids could open them it was the older people that had the problems with them. I remember how I used to roll my eyes when Mom would complain about opening plastic on things and now I am the same way. I guess it’s karma. lol

Hi Colleen,
I’m glad that Brook is feeling better. That’s kind of sad that she is living with the dad’s parents and you don’t feel comfortable dropping in over there. It’s also sad that they want to take over with the decisions about him. I hope she sticks to her guns and doesn’t let them influence her too much. Did they try and do that with the son’s little daughter too? How does Mandy feel about this? Does she feel hesitant to just drop in too? I hope not as she is the grandma too. I know-too many questions. lol
I hope that you have a great time at the DWTS show. What a great idea Danyielle had to give you that as a gift. those experience gifts are the best kind. I can’t wait to hear all about the show.
You know The masked Singer is hard to guess. Sometimes as the season goes on I read spoilers and some people have things figured out but I hardly ever figure them out myself-I get a few but not many and then sometimes i don’t really even know the person like the first season the winner was TPain and I didn’t know him. It’s just a fun show-not too serious and fun to try and guess from the singing and the clues. sometimes Ken is funny and sometimes he’s annoying. lol

Hi DD,
Poor Snowball really frightened herself. She’s a feisty little bundle of joy! It’s been so long since we had cats I forgot how they can get just about anywhere. I still like that she enjoys sleeping in the sink. lol
I had not heard about the floods in Oregon. I’m glad that you are safely away from them.
I have never tried the NYC bagels. I tried the bagel bites but they were a kind of pain as they had to be baked to be fixed with the best results.
I used to get a lot more Q foods but have sort of stopped recently. I do occasionally get the Jimmy the Baker cinnamon rolls but have not even gotten them recently.
I’ll bet Critt’s kitty will be happy to see him. Wow! sixty pounds is a lot of water weight.
We always like to hear from you and you have a lot to say and good advice to offer.
I heard about the same from Barbara as Adele did. I am worried that she is so tired all the time. I think we all have been praying for her.

Hi Colleen,
I hope that Brook is feeling better. I never heard of doing a D&C for an infection. I’ve heard of it for bleeding and i had one years ago when they were doing all the tests when I couldn’t get pregnant. Anyway, hopefully she is better and can come home.
I remember my sister flunked the driver’s test several times and then she was away at college where she really didn’t need to drive but when I turned sixteen she decided she wanted to take the test again because she didn’t want her baby sister to have her license before she did. (funny the things that would embarrass us back then) so we went on the same day but she went out before i did and got her’s
“technically” before i did. lol
I was surprised who was behind the mask last night too. i didn’t even know he could sing-he wasn’t bad. I sure couldn’t guess.
this year there is a total of 18 contestants so there will be three groups and then probably a final and a semi final. The two other times they were on they did it a bit differently but I guess they are still figuring out what is the best format since it is a new show. I think it’s fun trying to guess who the people are-it’s harder than you would think. And then of course there are some people who can’t sing and others who can sing a little bit and other’s who are good-and also people who can sing but we never knew it. I wonder who the kangaroo is.

Hi Adele,
I remember Brent was jaundiced as a baby-he was a csection-that much I know. I remember that because he could leave the hospital before his mother could and they needed someone that could legally carry him out of the hospital as the mother couldn’t because she was still a patient and i guess the grandparents wouldn’t and our lawyer couldn’t and it was a fourth of July weekend so the judge actually went to the hospital and carried him out and gave him to the lawyers to bring to us. I always was grateful to that judge and always voted for her. The nurse who was caring for him also wrote us a letter to tell us a little about him and about the jaundice and all. It was very heart warming.
I never heard of throwing up from menopause. Is this something I missed? I thought the hot flashes and mood swings were bad enough. lol
I will post that recipe-I am just too lazy to get up and go get it right now. it’s on my to do list. lol
Hope you are not getting a bad storm. Let us know how it goes.
Gail
P. S. I hope heather is feeling better.

Hi Adele,
I did not know that bilirubin was in breast milk. You learn something new every day.
I love the pictures. Sonny and grandma, Sonny and great grandma, and Sonny and great great grandma-how special is that. I especially like the one of him and Tillie because his eyes are open and they are looking at each other. You should print and frame that one. Plus they match she has on a striped shirt and he has on striped pants. I hope Marissa recognizes that there is a lot of baby raising knowledge in that room.
I hope Heather is doing better.
What kind of soup are you making?

Hi Colleen,
I hope that Brook is better soon. You do wonder how she got a uterine infection. Maybe she picked it up in the hospital? It must be hard for her to be away from the baby.
It’s hard for me to understand a young person not wanting to drive. When I was a teenager all the kids couldn’t wait to drive and it was the same with our kids. Plus i was happy when our kids drove because that means i wasn’t making seversl trips a day back and forth into town picking them up and dropping them off at friends and activities.
I think the sweatshirt that Antonella had on was supposed to be very oversized. I think that was the look that they were going for-but what do I know.
I agree-Walmart doesn’t have the best meat or produce. But for us they are the only game in town.
I understand that the identity of the contestants on the Masked Singer is a very carefully guarded secret-even Nick doesn’t know who they are and the contestants don’t know who each other are either. it must be really hard to keep it all so secret.

Hi DD,
There was very little new on the Quacker shows. They don’t seem to be putting out new at the same rate that they used to. Patrick looked nice in his tux.
I would imagine that if everyone at the vets office fusses over Snowball she will like going there.
Brent sent me a picture of snow in NM yesterday. It drives him nuts when it snows as no one there knows how to drive in it. It doesn’t normally stay on the ground long though.
What pretty pictures of the old style valentines.
Gail
