Beautiful Fall day here today. We threw open the windows and boy, did the dust bunnies have a BLAST. Made me hang my head in shame for about one minute and then just said it is what it is and I wonder if I should really consider having someone come in every few weeks and help us out with the things we just simply cannot do anymore? The las time…[Read more]

Hi Girls,
Started a new discussion. it’s under general Quacker chatter and Titled It’s Fall! Enjoyed DWTS last night. Yes, Bindi Erwin’s enthusiasm was contagious-I think she’s a chip off the old block. I hope Gary Busey stays on for awhile. We saw him on The Apprentice and sometimes you thought he was totally bonkers and sometimes you thought he…[Read more]

Hi Colleen,
Well it’s about Fall but we are having summer like temperatures this week. Our cooler temps have disappeared.
I was so glad when Greg switched over to my dentist three years ago. In all these last three years this is the first time that he has needed another big procedure-if he was still with his old dentist he probably would have had…[Read more]

hey Gail – read the post to Colleen for all the info…..LOL
I hope you can find us a new page!
Adele

Hi Adele,
I don’t think we are missing posts even without the notifications. I just go to the last post and scroll back to find the last post that I read and start in from there. I can’t figure out why I’m not getting any notifications so I will just have to take matters into my own hands.
It sounds like the nursing home really has a nice…[Read more]

Hi Colleen
Oh yes- nice to have the windows open. I had to shut them again this morning, as I baked a blueberry breakfast cake- it has ricotta and sour cream in it, and 3 eggs. Only 3/4 cup of flour. Gary has NO IDEA it has ricotta in it….LOL So, it was getting hot, and it will ‘s with humidity again today. I will be very happy when it…[Read more]

Hi Girls,
I am going to start a new discussion page since this one is getting so long. When we first came over here this discussion had pages to it and then they changed it. Weird. Anyway, I hope that I can remember how to do this-it may take me a few tries. Look for a new discussion that is titled something about Fall-I’m not sure exactly what…[Read more]

Hi Adele,
Isn’t nice to have the windows open now. I am so tired of having the air on all the time. We need some fresh air in here and I need to do the fall cleaning. I really do not like to have to do it but no one will do it for me. I think that once a man retires he should start to help with all the cleaning. It should be in a contract…[Read more]

Hi Gail,
Costco always has some nice things. We shop there a lot for paper goods and can goods. We buy things that we can keep for awhile. I really like their pretzel rolls. They are so good with chicken salad and a lot of other things. There decorations are a little pricey for me. I usually wait until the season is over and they are trying…[Read more]

Hey Gail and Colleen
Congrats to Lachan and Kendall. Yeah for the grands!
BJ’s also has a lot of outside Halloween things. You may want to check Walmart too- on line, as they have way more on line than in the store.
I hope you can find something at a reasonable price that you can use year to year.

Hi colleen, Gail, Barbara, and Cynthia
The only notice I got on email was from Colleen. I think we are all missing a lot of posts!
Last night was good, and bad. My BIL only knows his wife’s name. He looked at Gary, his daughters, and his grands with a confused look on his face, but somehow seemed to recognize them on some level. When they did…[Read more]

Hi Colleen,
I don’t have any Halloween decorating suggestions right off the top of my head. Even though you don’t have a party store around maybe you can find one of those seasonal Halloween stores that pop up around this time of year.
Yesterday I took Jenny to Costco so she could get some stuff for her family. A family of five with two steps can…[Read more]

Hi Adele,
I hope your evening with your BIL went well and Gary wasn’t too upset by it. Alzheimer’s is a horrible disease that steals one’s personality. Your SIL will need your ongoing support too. At some point a lot of sufferers need nursing home care. It just becomes too dangerous for them to remain at home. No one should feel bad about…[Read more]
