[b][size=150]WOW!! Getting closer to Christmas and you have Thanksgiving soon too!! Where has the time gone!!

I started threads for a few weeks, I'll only be away for 5 nights, just wanted to be sure there was plenty of threads open.

It's been another coolish day, a bit of rain around still, but only light showers, and not much here, I did get some when I went out for a bit this morning, but nothing here!
Feels quite humid though.

SANDRA I wish you had a good sleep like that every night, I don't sleep much these days either, I was awake so much last night, feeling it now, but I can't nap during the day. I have been doing a jigsaw Julie loaned me, I may not finish it, I'll try again tonight but it's awful, so many pieces can be used in multiple places, one I just tried fitted ( and looked correct) in FOUR places, it's a matter of trying each piece and the crossing fingers, I have only the sky and clouds to go, and in the last section of rocky mountains I had 4 pieces left, and they wouldn't go anywhere, had to fit somewhere, SO I had to keep undoing bit to see where they could fit, finished eventually, but it's not enjoyable, first time I have ever been totally stumped by a puzzle.

THERESA it does take time when you have done so much with no time to actually comprehend what you are gong through, you did the absolute best to care for your mum, you couldn't have done more, and please don't even think it, it was her time, and while it didn't end up the way you might have wanted it just happened that way ((((hugs)))) Enjoy that sewing, you have given me an idea to finish UFOs. I have a few I need to clean out!!

DEVONNE you are doing so well on your plan, as are HOLLY and SANDRA good for you!!!! I need to get back into eating properly, I have started making a baked oats thing for breakfast, and enjoying that , so I hope to make some plans for lunches, we are having a workshop at training on meal prep and planning next Saturday, I am going, see if I can stick to it.

BUMPING UP!

YIKES December already!!

We got home a bit ago from the Veteran's Day luncheon we go to every year at church.  It's a wonderful time of honoring vets from anywhere, not just church people.    Besides music and a speaker. and the meal,  Quilts of Valor for 5 or 6 are given out and those who receive them are totally surprised.   Howard was one of the recipients this year.  A  few weeks ago I was asked to compile info about him  from his service days and send it to a certain person,  but, was told he might  or might  not  be one of those who get a quilt, so it was a surprise for both of us.  I knew IF he rec'd one, he'd cry a bit  and he did.  And so did I. 

Hard to believe it's 11/1 and we turn back the clocks tonight.  I fare better on central time than CDT but am always a bit sad at the change which truly brings fall, then winter.  Guess I'm sad about most changes and the passing of time so quickly.  

I put out water in several containers and have yet to see a squirrel today.  Maybe they came to drink while we were gone.

No real cooking tonight.  A frozen entree for H. and an egg and bacon for me.  That's been agreed upon.  So will close this and catch a few zzzs in my recliner.  H. is upstairs watching Notre Dame football and I'd bet the farm he's asleep...

[size=150][b]MANGLED MODIFIERS.......
THE POLICE SAID BARTH'S 1981 TOYOTA TRAVELED DOWN THE SHOULDER FOR ALMOST 1,000 FEET AND THEN HIT A UTILITY POLE GOING ABOUT 45 MILES AN HOUR.


SUNNY AND BRITE.  A LOVELY DAY. MY BEDRM AND LIVING RM WINDOWS ARE OPEN FOR A COOL BREEZE OFF THE WATER.  I HAVE NOT YET TURNED ON MY HEAT.  TOO WARM IN HERE.  MAY REACH 50 TODAY BUT 40S RIGHT NOW.
I SLEPT REALLY WELL AND FINALLY GOT UP AROUND 10:45 A.M. TODAY.  IT FELT GOOD.  I STILL SLEPT IN SNATCHES, BUT THEY WERE 3, 3, AND 2 SO IT WAS A GOOD 8 HRS.  THAT RARELY HAPPENS.  I GUESS THAT MEANS BRUNCH INSTEAD OF BREAKFAST.

I HAVE TO TAKE DOWN MY HALLOWEEN WALL HANGINGS AND FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO PUT UP.  I GUESS IT WILL BE THANKSGIVING WHS.  AND MAYBE SOME FALL ONES.  I HAVE LOTS OF ROOM TO DISPLAY THEM NOW.

I SORTED MY PILLS FOR THE WEEK.  I ALSO HAVE CLEANING THE BATHROOM AND VACUUMING ON MY TO-DO LIST WHICH IS PRETTY NORMAL FOR SATURDAYS.  MY SON DOES NOT SHOP THIS WEEK.  I HAVE PLENTY OF FOOD SO NO PROBLEM.  THERE ARE 5 WEEKENDS IN NOVEMBER.  AND THANKSGIVING IS COMING UP.  I HAVE NO PLANS BUT I KNOW I WILL EAT WELL REGARDLESS SINCE I AM STILL ABLE TO COOK MY OWN MEALS.
REMEMBER, LADIES, TO TURN BACK YOUR CLOCKS UNLESS YOU HAVE AUTOMATIC ONES.  I HAVE 5 I NEED TO DO BY HAND.  ONLY THE PUTER, TV, AND MY PHONE ARE AUTOMATIC.  WHEN I HAD A CAR, I NEVER CHANGED THAT ONE.  I COULDN'T EVER FIGURE IT OUT.
MY DAY WILL BE DULL PER USUAL LADIES.  MAYBE I WILL WORK ON THE JIGSAW TODAY.  I HAVE BEEN NEGLECTING THAT.  OF COURSE I SHALL READ.  I STILL HAVE 3 SHOPPING BAGS OF BOOKS TO CATCH UP ON.  MY DAUGHTER IS SUCH AN AVID READER AND WE LIKE THE SAME KINDS OF BOOKS SO I INHERIT HERS AFTER SHE READS THEM.  AT LEAST THESE DAYS I DO NOT HAVE TO BUY TOO MANY MYSELF. 

I AM THANKFUL TO WAKE UP EACH MORNING WITH FEW MEDICAL ISSUES.
I AM THANKFUL FOR A LOVELY FAMILY WHO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH ME ON A DAILY BASIS.
I AM THANKFUL FOR GOOD FRIENDS, BOTH HERE

Happy Birthday Devonne
