Hi Adele,
We have already had some snow twice. It didn’t stay because the ground was still too warm but one came down in big flakes.
Last year we had several inches on the ground for Halloween.
We don’t get trick or treaters here so that won’t be an issue.
don’t forget to get pictures of Sonny. I love to see the little ones in their outfits. The…[Read more]

Hi Colleen,
The stores do not enforce the masks in some places because some people become really belligerent about it and the stores do not want those types of confrontation. It is sad that grown people won’t follow the rules.
That is nice that Ethan will be able to go through all four years of high school in the same place. It is hard when the…[Read more]

Hi Sue,
I can understand your frustration and depression. It’s hard because we are all trying to do the right thing and so many other’s are not and don’t seem to care. All I know is I can’t control what all those other people are doing but I can control what i do. So I will continue plugging along wearing a mask social distancing and hand washing.…[Read more]

Hi Adele,
Hope the back is doing better.
Had you not had subway before? They make a pretty good sandwich. That was one of our regular stops on a Friday night precovid. lol
Both kids worked at the local Subway when they were in high school. They were sandwich artistes! lol
Poor little Aizen. Maybe you should tell him to remember all the good…[Read more]

Hi Colleen,
I did hear about those people and the fire. It’s so sad. If only they had evacuated they would still be alive.
The stye does not impair my vision at all. It hurt when it first started but it doesn’t hurt at all anymore-I just know it’s there and keeps me from wearing contacts if I wanted to. I can’t believe that you have never had…[Read more]

Hi DD,
We watched the debates even though we had already voted. We just wanted to see how they both sounded.
I like the picture with the deer and other animals. It’s kind of like a Christmas card.
Speaking of which I have already bought my cards for this year.
No going to a store and browsing and picking them out this year. Good old Amazon to…[Read more]

Hi Adele,
I hope the back is better.
Good thing Amanda is there to help with the cooking.
Since we’ve been picking up food on the weekends now I feel much better.
I don’t feel so pressured to cook all the time.
However, we don’t have that many restaurants around so I try to mix things up as much as possible-which is sometimes interesting.
Yes,…[Read more]

Hi Colleen,
I used to go to Cherry Vale mall a lot. Also used to take the kids there. Now I bet I haven’t been there in four years since I do so much shopping online.
There are still nice houses in that area. Of course they are mostly older now.
I was setting up my DVR for next week and saw that instead of DWTS on my Dish it’s a football game…[Read more]

Hi Adele,
I’m sorry your back is bad again.
The numbers are up pretty much everywhere and you are starting to hear more and more covid reports again.
our governor is doing daily TV briefings again and he has not done so in months.
I know they were going to reevaluate in person learning at the end of the semester which will be at the new year.…[Read more]

Hi Colleen,
It would be hard to rent again. We have owned a house ever since about 1975 so that is a long time. We bought our first house in 1975 and fixed it up and then built the house we are in now in about 1996. We bought the land several years before we built the house. While we were saving Greg would come out and plant trees and bushes on…[Read more]

Hi DD,
I’m glad that you found the bird feeder picture that I was referring to. Ha ha I had everyone searching. lol Your own private scavenger hunt.
I hope your new neighbor is nice. I’m glad your building allows pets. I wonder what Snowball would think of the guys dog. Is it a little one?
I like Valerie’s shows a lot. I got very little new this…[Read more]

Hi Adele,
Numbers are up everywhere but in a few states. I think November through February is going to be tough. That’s why we’ve already decided to stay home for the holidays and not have Jenny and the kids here for Christmas or go to her house for Thanksgiving. Piper has already been to the doctor with some virus-they did a strep test, influenza…[Read more]

Hi Colleen,
No Masked Singer on this week because of the World Series.
Guess what? We got snow yesterday. I heard them say possible flurries in the morning and the next thing you know I was on the phone with Brent and looking out the window and there was little spits of snow and then the flakes got bigger and bigger. it probably snowed for a half…[Read more]

Hi DD,
Your pictures are so pretty. I like the picture of the pumpkin bird feeder.
I think we all have isolation fatigue. Humans are social creatures. Do you get to chat with any of the other people in your building from a safe distance?
I think a lot of people will be going all out on decor this year in order to brighten up the dark winter.
I…[Read more]

Sue,
You are not a bad girl. I always like to treat myself after an appointment or a test. Life is too short. Eat, drink and be merry! lol
I did not know that about Lisa Mason’s parents. I wonder if they are at home or in the hospital? That is a big problem for her trying to figure out what to do.
You are right – people are crazy. I under stand…[Read more]

Hi Adele,
I think the race will be closer than you might think as Trump still has a lot of supporters. I’m trying not to get myself too psyched up so i won’t be too disappointed if he wins again. Maybe if he does we will just move to Canada-except Canada still won’t let Americans in. They’re smart. lol
I was listening to a report this morning on…[Read more]

Hi Colleen,
I asked Kendall and her girlfriend last week if they missed going to school and they really did-they are in 7th grade and at that time it seems like your friends and activities are just as important as the school work. I feel bad for them. Lachlan doesn’t miss going at all. Why would he-he can stay in his pajamas, he can be on a tablet…[Read more]

Hi Adele,
I love the quarantine ornament! Amazon, here I come. lol
I can’t see the coyote or the weird animal.
I hope your back is feeling better. That chronic pain can be so draining and depressing. I wish we knew when we were younger to appreciate our healthy bodies.
I’m sorry about the chili and everyone yelling. We all have had accidents…[Read more]
