Oh NO BJ I do hope FRANK is fling better, this thing can last for a long tome, poor guy, it's exhausting coughing!

SANDRA your goodies will be well appreciated by your family, I know Mat is doing a great job shopping for you, he's a great son! Your friend will enjoy your turkey dinner, will you be making some walnut chops this year? 

DEVONNE I know it's not private, but anyone stumbling on us doesn't know us, and would be bored sticking around too long, it's different the she left. Nothing we can do about it though, I hope she finds happiness and is content with her choices.

HOLLY sounds like a great time being had by all, I am expecting some pumpkin pie soon, maybe they forgot, Megan got it at Costco, they have a membership. I'm pretty sure she got me the big Ninja blender. I have a small one, and she told me about this one, seems like it's better for me, my smoothie is too big for mine, I have to do it in the blender, and it's a pain to pull apart and wash. 

We did go shopping this morning, I got some eye cream, I had a sample from L'Occitane, and liked it, so he's giving me that, we also got some liquid soap and dispenser, probably more suitable for one of the boys, and I did some online shopping with our telco (they have points) and I got a Philips shaver and some Apple ear buds for having an account with them. The shaver might go to John, both boys have a little stubble now, I'll check that I'm not stepping on Gary's turf by buying John one, maybe they want to give him his first shaver.

Nothing else happening, I bought some thick bag "batting" to make some small baskets, it was too thick, so got some thinner today, the baskets are cute, not sure if I will continue, I will make another one tomorrow, think I messed up the instructions, it was on Fat Quarter Shop and Quilters Digest. They are only small, thought I might fill them with something for Christmas, and the girls could use them as scrap baskets at their machines.
I do have these crazy ideas then run out of time to do it LOL

ANOTHER DELIGHTFUL DAY HERE IN THE NORTH COUNTRY.  LOVE THE SUNSHINE AFTER A DAY OF RAIN.  WE CAN ALWAYS USE RAIN NOW AND THEN TO KEEP OUR FORESTS SAFE AND GREEN.  MY SON GOT MY SHOPPING DONE BETWEEN RAIN SHOWERS.  I AM FIXED FOR LOTS OF FOOD.  HE GOT FIXED WITH FOOD, TOO.  
HE BOUGHT ME A PHONE PROTECTOR BUT LO AND BEHOLD, HE GOT THE SIZE FOR MY OLD PHONE.  HE WILL RETURN IT AND GET ONE FOR MY NEW PHONE HENCE FORTH.  THIS TIME I WROTE DOWN THE PHONE TYPE I HAVE NOW.

BUSY DAY HERE TODAY.  I REC'D MY DVD PLAYER.  THE INSTRUCTIONS BOOKLET HAD SUCH SMALL PRINT IT COULD NOT BE READ BY THE HUMAN EYE.  I HAD TO GET OUT MY SEWING MAGNIFIER (AROUND MY HEAD) AND A HAND MAGNIFIER AND A FLASHLIGHT TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.  I WROTE THEM DOWN ON A NOTEPAD MUCH LARGER AND DREW THE DIALS AS SITUATED ON THE MACHINE.  WOW, MUCH BETTER.  I KNOW THEY WANT TO SAVE MONEY ON PAPER BUT PEOPLE, WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO READ HOW TO RUN A NEW THING. ITS PLUGGED IN SO IT CAN CHARGE THE BATTERY.  IT ALSO HAS A REMOTE AND CAN BE HOOKED UP TO MY TV BUT I PROBABLY WON'T BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THAT STEP IN A DOZEN YEARS SO I AM GOOD WITH WATCHING ON THE PLAYER ITSELF.  ITS A BIT LARGER THAN MY COMPUTER SCREEN SO A GOOD SIZE.
MY LAUNDRY IS GOING SO THAT'S GETTING DONE.  I ALSO WILL MAKE SOME PIZZA TONITE.  I HAVE AN OPEN BOTTLE OF PIZZA SAUCE FROM MY SOUP SO I WILL USE THAT TOPPING AS USUAL.  THAT WITH PEPPERONI AND SAUCY GROUND BEEF.  MMM GOOD TO ME ANYWAY.
I DELIVERED SOME DEVIL DOGS TO SOME OF MY NEIGHBORS THIS MORNING.  MY SON BUYS ME A BOX OF 8 AND ITS TOO MANY FOR ME SO I SHARE.  I PUT THEM IN A SANDWICH BAGGY AND HANG THEM ON THEIR DOOR HANDLES FOR A SURPRISE TREAT.
I ALSO MADE A HOT HANDLE FOR MY NEW CAST IRON GRIDDLE.  I JUST SEWED UP A POT HOLDER ALONG THE SIDES AND SLIPPED IT ON.  IT WILL WORK FOR ME.  I HAVE AN ELECTRIC STOVE SO NO FLAMES CAN LICK AT IT.  ITS A QUICK FIX.  SOMEDAY I MAY BUY A SILICON HANDLE FOR IT.
THAT'S IT FROM MY CORNER OF THE WORLD.  WISHING YOU ALL A GOOD DAY.

JANET AND JERRY......HAPPY ANNIVERSARY YOU TWO.  ENJOY YOUR DAY. 
HUGS FOR ALL, QB S

Happy Sunday, friends!
I have 10 little quilts ready for Project Linus.  I will post a few pictures if I figure it out again. 

It is a cool but pretty day today, so Dean and I will get out and walk for a while.  It rained quite a bit Friday and yesterday.  

Got all of the shopping done for Thanksgiving Day except for the fresh veggies for the dip.  I  will get them Tuesday.  I will make a pumpkin pie for Dean, chocolate pie for my son,  but bought a frozen Marie Calender (sp?) Key Lime Pie.  I go easy these days.   Aaron loves Key Lime but I don't make it.  Kelli always made it for her family and I think of her when I see it.

The horrific bus accident with the Tuskey Valley band is still so much in the news here since it is so close.  Now I found out that one of the parent chaperones who was killed was a friend of my son, Aaron.  Her 14 year old daughter was on the bus but thankfully was unhurt.  Her mom was riding in the car behind the bus and all three adults died.  Many business are holding special food truck days or donating money to the victims.     Texas Roadhouse will donate 100% of all sales in the Ohio stores on November 20 to them.  So very generous.

I bought a turkey bone-in breast and now Amelia wants a turkey leg!  Too funny.  Last year I put the dark meat into a soup.  Maybe I will look for a turkey leg at the local butcher shop.  He has great meat.

Sending well wishes to you all.

Very cold here today, but not windy. 
Took the turkey breast out of the freezer and put it in the fridge.  Our menu is basically the same all the time….except one year I decided to make Cornish hens…each person got their own whole stuffed hen. Well my daughter (about 6-7 years old) came to the table and shrieked “ you killed baby turkeys?”….it was quite a scene….  I often made Thanksgiving dinner for 12-20.  Usually lasagna or baked ziti  along with the turkey dinner. At least 2 pies, chocolate cake, and cookies.

Hi!
FINALLY BETTER. ADDITIONAL ALLERGY TX AND NASAL SPRAY MAKING A DIFFERENCE.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY JANET AND JERRY.

MORE THAN LIKELY. MISSED SOME BIRTHDAYS AND ANNIVERSARIES. BELATED WISHES!.

THINKING OF EVERYONE. PRAYERS..............

Good Morning, I love to read the board, everyone has so much going on, and doing so many interesting things. Love It!!  Well, I just took Frank his coffee so that's done.  I don't have much to say this morning, I'm just feeling like a bum, can't seem to do much.  I'm dressed and made up so I can just be a bum the rest of the day.  Larissa and her boyfriend and Kendra spent the night.  Larissa is in visiting with Frank, and Kendra is still sleeping.  Larissa's boyfriend is awake.  Not much going on this morning.  

It is 40* and very still outside this morning.  Not a leaf is stirring!  Most of the leaves are gone from the trees so I can see the road.  Lots of leaves have fallen on the ground, think Jamie is coming this next weekend to mow the lawn so that will be nice and likely the last time this season.  The sky is mostly filled with white fluffy clouds but there's a bit of blue showing though, so pretty!!

Well, I'm going to sign off as I have nothing to say.  Am wishing you all a wonderful day, Love, BJ.
