Good Morning to everyone!!  I am up and dressed, done my exercises, everyone else is still sleeping, not even 8:30 yet.  The sun is out, but totally still.  Today we are going to the barns event.  It will be fun, even though Frank and I will be sitting still most of the time.  We will take our Christmas picture, everyone is wearing black.

Not sure what else we'll be doing today, I don't have much energy, so won't be doing much.  It is so lovely to have all the family here.   Well, I don't have anything else to say, so will sign off, hoping everyone is doing well, sending love and best wishes, BJ.

Devonne, yes! I love the crockpot liners, so easy for cleanup. That’s a lot of meds! Yikes!

Good afternoon!

I have never tried the crockpot liners, but will now that I know they actually work!  lol!  I like the crockpot but not really fond of the instant pot just yet.  I like my flavors to cook together for a while, I guess.  My son and DIL love the Instant pot cooker.  

Sandra, I love your Kitty in a Pumpkin patch!  You are so talented.  I also made some of the roasted tomatoes a couple of weeks ago.  Dean worked on a car for a friend who has a big farm.  He brought us corn a few times this summer and I froze it.  He brought a bag of different kinds of tomatoes so I stewed some (Dean's favorite) and roasted the remaining.  I plan to use them in some vegetable soup and/or chili.  I have made for years a chicken/stuffing dish very similar to the one you posted.  My family really likes it.

Judy, I am feeling better, thanks.  I think all the sunshine we have been having has helped.  Plus, Dean has me out walking a lot these days.  He has taken up jogging again and I walk.  He was leery of jogging on his knee replacements, but doc said if it feels ok, to do it.  So Dean is up to 3 or so miles at at time again.    We all do better when he runs.

I need to get my carpet cleaned.  We only have carpet in the living room and up the stairs, but it needs cleaning by a professional.  We try to clean it regularly with a home shampoo machine, but it is just not the same.

Nothing else at this time,  Take care all.

Hi all

Scary times with the attack on Israel, it never stops over there, so sad and it can affect the rest of the world so quickly. 

DEVONNE sh looks so small ((((hugs)))) hope she is feeling better soon, so much meds for your guys hope he can get over this, is it "long covid" or the remains of being ventilated etc? You please be careful that is a lot of work to do by yourself -says me - who just pulled apart our bedroom and really deep cleaned it LOL Moving the bed was the hardest, I used to be able to do it easily.

SANDRA that was a big win for you ! Congrats, a big lucky streak, you have been waiting for a while for it. Any plans for more cleaning/sewing, you have done a lot lately to (((hugs)))) take care of you!

HOLLY hope you have no lasting affects, our Dr won't give 2 of anything at the same tome - usually, I have had a pneumonia one and a flu one - but he wouldn't do covid/flu unless they are 3 weeks apart. You will need to show pics of the blanket for the dog, Buddy used to 'nest' too, he was a Maltese/Poodle.

CHERYL she is a cutie, is homecoming like graduation? Love the red dress (((hugs)))

MARYLOU being in a funk is understandable, maybe we should all look for the good things like you as well, remember when SANDRA got us to share 3 good things. I try to do it when I am in a funk too (((hugs)))

INDY I like the crock pot recipes too, I do a Mussaman curry in mine and always the spaghetti sauce. I know people cook roasts in them but I only did it once, and we didn't like it. Good to hear you had a nice chat with your school friend, and it's a great idea to plan something easy (and good) for Christmas. For us it's all about the food we share, and the games we play with the boys. 

DIANE it's a lot of deaths, I hate to think how many we have had over a few years, I don't count them - and it's looking like his sis is nearing th end, BUT we've said that many times before.

We got word this morning that they were thinking of sending her to hospital, she has been quite unwell for the last couple weeks, she has a 'not good' liver, diabetes, and heart failure, she has had a cough for a while, tests for 'flu, covid etc are all negative, we've seen her a few times, and she's not looking good, but she keeps on going. We honestly feel it is her time, she is really struggling and he would be distraught, but also knows it's going to happen. 

Also - just to throw me off, the hatch on my car went, couldn't get into the boot LOL I rang the dealer, they said bring it up, I did, they looked, said would I wait 10 minutes and they'll put in the new part, they had one. So it was a good outcome, I was stressing that I might get a flat tyre and not be able to get the space out. 
It was really hot onTuesday, and Wed, then cool Thurs, and now quite cool - LOL the MR turned on the A/C to HEAT (as he thought) when he got up Friday and it was cold, I still had it turned to cooling. I didn't;t even know he had turned it on. Every year this happens, I tell him to look and see, but he never does
