THANK YOU ALL for the birthday wishes, 75 WOW ! how did that happen, BUT that sounds better than 3/4 of a century LOL

I had a quiet day, dinner with the guys last night, and I trained this morning, and took myself to the LQS and bought my fabric for the temperature quilt. 40% off was too good a deal to miss, so it's my 'extra' present form Warwick.

SANDRA your dinner sounded perfect. I hope you have a long rest and enjoy watching your DVDs, I love my portable player, I have it on sometimes at night before lights out, and also at my sewing table, I can sew and watch.

INDY that is quite a drive to get to the beach! I'm so glad you had contact with family, you have been always so loving with them, the old saying of "hold them loose so they can return" I'm glad you had some bragging rights! I haven't seen any of NCIS , there were lots of pics of them filming, I don't even know if it IS on here yet LOL

DEVONNE Same for you, you love them unconditionally, I'm glad you didn't do a lot of cooking, we don't either, we find that we can do things well but simply with good food and it works.

MARYLOU sounds perfect for you, I'm so glad Lyn is over the chemo, one of our girls at training has a similar journey to Lyn, she is having a lumpectomy soon as well, she's a gorgeous human being and we al love her, she trains so she can be as strong as possible before surgery.

PATTY sorry you haven't got a nice snow yet, it will come though! 

JANET maybe the regulars were out of town? I will be training next week after our party for the group, there will probably be a few groans that day. Hope you have a good day.

HOLLY your family time must almost be over, you will miss them, but have wonderful memories.

I am ashamed to admit I have your Christmas cards on the table - still waiting for me to write on them, I was hoping to do that by now, I WILL get them done tomorrow and in the mail on Monday, otherwise they will never arrive.

I have been watching Private Practice ( a spin off from Greys Anatomy ) honestly don't know how they get to see any patients, they are always in and out of bed. I don't think it lasted very long. I have been playing it while I did my baskets. 

The Mr is at a bowls day. He and his brother have made arrangements for their sister NOT to be clearing tables, and some other small tings she does, there have been a lot of new residents, and seems there are some who feel uncomfortable with her, and as she is pretty deaf she doesn't hear when people tell her they aren't finished with their plates, so problems will arise. The management are totally onboard and are working to find other things for her to do to keep her busy and happy. We have told her she is getting so old now she really needs to "retire from work" and have someone else help out. 

It's been raining most of the day, and actually a little cool, I hope they are keeping warm camping, I worry that Dean will get a cold and that won't be fun with his nose.

Cold and gloomy here today. The gym was empty again. Maybe everyone is shopping?
The new car is still just sitting there in the driveway.
DH keeps talking about going somewhere for a few days, but no matter where or when I suggest he doesn’t really respond. 😡. So I’m going to give up in that idea.
Leftover Turkey dinner tonight. We had pasta last night. Leftovers don’t seem leftover if we don’t eat them the next day.
My sewing room is warmer than the rest of the house today for some reason? So I think I’ll hide out up there.

I put a check in the mail for my property taxes. They are due Dec. 10th. They were $255 less this year, so quite a nice surprise.

My Christmas shopping is almost over. I need two more small gifts.

Janet, my sewing room is the coldest room in the house. Greg gave me a portable heater to use. I only use it when it's really cold outside. You sound so down. Sending you a big hug today! 

Trish, you are ahead of me! I don't have any Christmas cards yet, lol. 

Devonne- thank you.

Another busy day here! We got a hoagie tray and potato salad, Heather had appetizers and pasta, and my sisters in law both came in with food, so we had tons of food! We were at Heather’s house, and my brother and sis in law, Ralph’s brother and sis in law, my nephew and wife, us, Heather’s family and Manda’s family. It was a fun day, lots of laughter and love. 

Now I’m tired!
 

I’ll change your text later MARYLOU , edited, I got it to change on the ipad😄

we got the new computer, currently setting it up. So I may not be able to use it tonight. Trial and error, mostly error LOL

At least I have started the transfer, it was saying ( after me sitting writing cards for a long while) that it would be 78 HOURS to complete , after 5 minutes it’s down to 38 hours LOL

It’s me that has to do it, he is far too impatient and bad tempered.
Keep well, everyone, hope San checks in soon.
When we went to the shopping centre we had to go right to the top of the car park, we had bought and were leaving about an hour later and all the entrances were jammed, crazy. The centre was packed we didn’t even get a coffee, came back to our little shops and got one there

see you later — I hope 😄😄, now down to 32 hours 😄
