Hi Diane- good to see you here!
Trish- that’s my bra plan too.
Carol- have a great tripe.  I once went on a trip and forgot undies…no store around.  I had to was the one pair I had every night and hang it to dry.  And finish the drying in the morning with the blow dryer.   🤪

A man went to his lawyer and told him, "My neighbor owes me $500 and he won’t pay up. What should I do?" "Do you have any proof he owes you the money?" asked the lawyer. "Nope," replied the man. "OK, then write him a letter asking him for the $5,000 he owed you," said the lawyer. "But it's only $500," replied the man. "Precisely. That’s what he will reply and then you’ll have your proof!"

ITS A GORGEOUS DAY HERE BUT A BIT WARM FOR ME.  WINDOWS ARE OPEN AND FANS ARE AT FULL TILT.

JUDY........YOU AND I ARE ALIKE.  I WON'T WASTE MY TIME MAKING SOMETHING I CAN'T USE.  I MAKE SOME THINGS I CAN GIVE AS GIFTS LIKE SLEEP MASKS, BOWL HOLDERS FOR MICROWAVES AND KNITTED DISHCLOTHS OR HANGING DISH TOWELS.  FOR MYSELF I MAKE DOOR- AND WALL-HANGINGS.  I CAN MAKE A DOOR HANGING WITH JUST ABOUT ANY BLOCK I'VE MADE SO THAT'S A WIN-WIN FOR ME.  I JUST HAVE TO GET MY MOTOR IN GEAR.  

CHERYL......YOUR CROCKPOT MEAL SOUNDS GOOOD.
I HAVEN'T MAKE LASAGNA IN AWHILE.  MY HUBBY LIKED IT WITH LOTS OF CHEESE AND I LIKED IT WITH MEAT AND JUST A TOUCH OF CHEESE.  I USED TO MAKE A 'SIDE BY SIDE LASAGNA' WHICH IS HALF FOR ME AND HALF FOR HIM.  NOW ITS TOO BIG A MEAL FOR ONE PERSON AND MOST FOLKS LIKE THEIRS WITH THE CHEESES SO I DONT MAKE IT ANYMORE.
I DID FIND A PIZZA CASSEROLE ON UTUBE I MIGHT TRY.  ITS MADE WITH TATER TOTS.  SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD.

DEVONNE.......YOU SLIPPED IN WHILE I WAS STILL PONDERING WHAT TO WRITE.  BY THE WAY, I LOVE THAT SONG AMARILLO BY MORNING  BY GEORGE STRAIT.   IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A FAVORITE.  
I KNOW IT WAS A DIFFICULT DECISION FOR YOU.  PRAYERS AND POSITIVE THOUGHTS SENT YOUR WAY.

CAROL.....WHAT A GREAT TRIP  YOU MUST BE DONE AS SCHOOL THEN.  TIME FOR YOU TO ENJOY YOURSELF.

TRISH......SO SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR BROTHERS MEDICAL ISSUES.  MOST MEN HATE GOING TO THE DR SO THEY PUT THINGS OFF TILL ITS NOT GOOD.  I HOPE HIS FIGHT IS A GOOD ONE AND IT WORKS FOR HIM.  YOU JUST NEVER KNOW.  HUGS.

I DID MY LAPS AND WORKED ON MY JIGSAW PUZZLE THIS MORNING.  ITS COMNG ALONG.  OTHERS ARE HELPING WHEN THEY CAN AS WELL.  ITS A FUN THING WE SHARE.
I WON A WHOLE DOLLAR AT BINGO LAST NITE SO I'M HAPPY ABOUT THAT.  FOR TODAY I'LL BAKE SOME CHICKEN BREAST AND MAYBE MAKE A SALAD AND SOME PASTA-RONI TO GO WITH IT.  I LIKE PASTA-RONI AND RICE-ARONI FOR SIDE DISHES SO ITS A GOOD THING.

BE SAFE MY FRIENDS.  HUGS FOR ALL, QB S

Good Morning to everyone!!   I'm feeling pretty stupid this morning.  Tracy is still sleeping, good for her!!  Rent is due on one of the rentals this morning, hope they stop by with the money.  I found a pair of maroon soft pants and put them on.  They're a little too long but I rolled them up and they look nice.

I'm not feeling too great this morning so will sign off and go stretch out in my recliner, might even fall asleep!!  Hope you all have a wonderful day, Love, BJ.

When I go to dr and they asked those questions (Medicare wellness) I simply tell them I’m not answering those that I feel are too personal or paying.  The first time the gal was shocked, not they don’t even bother with them. 
   May get my flu shot today…or not. 
Heading to the gym and then meeting someone for breakfast. And if I hear back from the realtor, I may go look at a condo on the lake. 🤷‍♀️

Two bats are hanging upside down on a branch. One asks the other, "Do you recall your worst day last year?" The other responds, "Yes, the day I had diarrhea!"

I HOPE THAT DIDN'T OFFEND ANYONE.  ITS A LOVELY DAY TODAY IN THE 50S AND SUNNY.

MARYLOU......YES, 5 HOURS IS A LONG DRIVE IF YOU CAN'T VISIT THEM ALL.  I HOPE IT WORKS OUT SOON.

JANET......HOORAY, MAYBE A LAKEHOUSE FOR YOU.  THAT IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA FOR SUMMERS AND MAYBE EVEN YEAR ROUND.  YOU CAN SELL THE BIG MONSTER HOUSE AND RENT GARAGES FOR YOUR HUBBY'S CARS.  NO POOL PROBLEMS EITHER. 

I WORKED ON MY JIGSAW THIS MORNING.  ITS NEARLY FINISHED.  I AM EAGER TO BEGIN THE WINTER ONE.  THERE ARE STILL LOTS OF BLUE PIECES FOR THE SKY TO GET FINISHED.
MY SON SHOPS THIS SATURDAY.  I HOPE HE CAN GET ME A TURKEY BREAST AND THEY ARE NOT SOLD OUT.  ITS TOUGH AROUND HERE FINDING A T BREAST.  I REALLY DON'T WANT A WHOLE TURKEY.  TOO MUCH TO BOTHER WITH AND EAT BY MYSELF.  BUT THEN MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, I CAN FREEZE SOME PIECES FOR LATER.

PLANS FOR THE DAY ARE MINIMAL.  MY SON WANTS MY TATER TOT SAUSAGE CASSEROLE THIS WEEK.  HE SAID HE MISSED IT LAST TIME SO ITS ON MY LIST.  THAT AND SOME ITALIAN SANDWICHES ARE ALL HE WANTS THIS WEEK.  EASY COOKING FOR ME.  LOVE IT.
I ORDERED SOME FARMER CHEESE YESTERDAY.  I DON'T LIKE TO BUY IT DURING WARM MONTHS SINCE IT COMES FROM MICHIGAN.  I EVEN ORDERED EXTRA ICE PACKS TO KEEP THEM FRESH.  ITS MY FAVORITE CHEESE OF ALL TIME.  GRAMMA EVA USED TO MAKE IT AND THE AGE IT ON HER WINDOWSILL.  LOVED IT BUT I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO GET THE HANG OF AGING IT SO DON'T BOTHER. 

BE SAFE MY FRIENDS.  HUGS FOR ALL, QB S

I made vegetable beef soup for dinner. I'm not a cracker fan; cornbread is in the oven. 

Trish, how sad about your brother. Hate to see anyone suffer. 

I watched a video about self check breast exams. I hate to admit it, but I wasn't good at doing the self exams. I do get a mammogram every year. She said to also raise your arms and check for hard lumps; where breast cancer tends to spread first..the lymph nodes under your armpits. Just a tip for all of you and remember, no one in my family had breast cancer unless it was an aunt or cousin that I didn't know about .

Marilynn called me today. She is so uplifting, even going thru all her health issues. I have done nothing today. Will be headed to the bedroom after I eat dinner to watch TV.

Here is a pic of the dahlia.

A woman was taking an afternoon nap. When she woke up, she told her husband, "I just dreamed that you gave me a pearl necklace. What do you think it means?" "You'll know tonight," he said. That evening, the man came home with a small package and gave it to his wife. Delighted, she opened it to find a book entitled "The Meaning of Dreams."

ANOTHER LOVELY DAY BUT WE SURE COULD USE SOME RAIN.  NOT A DELUGE, JUST A NICE DAY OF SOFT RAIN TO SOAK INTO OUR FORESTS.  ONLY 45 RIGHT NOW.

JANET......WELL, A CONDO AT THE LAKE SHOULD BE NICE.  ANYTHING WITH WATER IS ALWAYS PLEASANT.
SORRY YOUR FLU SHOT GAVE YOU A BRUISE.  IT SHOULD FADE SOON.

DEVONNE.......THANKS FOR THE TIP ON CHECKING UNDER OUR ARMS FOR HARD SPOTS.  I NEVER KNEW THAT BUT CHECKED MYSELF OUT RIGHT AWAY.

CHERYL......I LIKE THE IDEA OF LETTING THE KIDS CHOOSE THEIR OWN RELIGION WHEN THEY ARE READY.  RAISE THEM IN YOUR OWN BUT LET THEM CHOOSE IN THE END.
THAT'S SUCH A PRETTY DAHLIA.  I NEVER COULD GROW THOSE.

MY SON SHOPS FOR ME TODAY.  I HOPE HE CAN FIND A TURKEY BREAST THIS WEEK.  IF NOT, I WILL DO WITHOUT.  ITS JUST THAT I REALLY LOVE THE FLAVOR OF A TURKEY BREAST ONCE IN A WHILE. 
I MADE THE TATER TOT SAUSAGE CASSY LAST NITE AND SHARED WITH ONLY ONE OTHER.  MY SON WILL TAKE HOME MOST OF IT FOR HIM AND HIS WIFE. 
I PLAN TO DO A BIT MORE ON THE JIGSAW PUZZLE LATER.  MAYBE EVEN FINISH IT.  I'D LIKE TO GET THE WINTER ONE STARTED SOON.

THAT'S IT LADIES.  NOT MUCH DOING HERE.  ITS ONLY 45 BUT I WILL OPEN MY WINDOW IN A MOMENT. HUGS FOR ALL. QB S

BJ, your trees must be lovely!  The fall colors have been so beautiful and long-lasting this year, haven't they?

Trish, prayers continue for your brother!  What a sad situation!

Janet, a condo on the lake sounds nice!

Carol, I'm looking forward to hearing about your trip!

Devonne, sending up special prayers for you! 🙏🏻 You have an amazing attitude and outlook!

QB, 😂 funny joke!

I'm not sure what I'm making for Thanksgiving yet, but turkey breast is a possibility. The guys have expressed interest in lasagna, pizza cups, steak, as well as a traditional Thanksgiving meal. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Regarding bra shopping, 🙄😬 no fun! When I find something I tolerate or "like," I buy several!

Following several days of lovely sunshine, it's a cool, cloudy day today. We'll likely meet our son and my brother for dinner later.  It's a toss-up as to whether it will be Italian or Mexican, but I can order tasty options without pasta and without beans and rice at either place, so I'll let the guys decide this time. 😄

I know I've missed mentioning several of you; my apologies!  Please know I enjoyed reading about you as I read, and that you are all in my thoughts and prayers!

I need to run, but I'll be back later to lock and bump the threads. 😉🥳
