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.

I got lots of Gingerbread Men for John and me, I took his around, and today I got a dress up costume (cheap one) for our end of your party, it was all I could find, and I didn't care what it is, It a stripey thing from Beetlejuice, never seen the movie so no idea what it's about LOL while I was out I got jars to put jam and chutney for the girls for Christmas, they loved the jam last year, so some will get that again, the others the chutney, they are easy recipes, and I bought a jar funnel last year after making such a mess of spooning the jam into jars.
I need to find a label maker/printer. I know you can get some on Amazon, I'll start searching, I wrote on the last ones, I would like to print these labels. I have some address labels, I can experiment with those if I have to.

I've been messaging with my sis while typing, she flew into Hanoi, Vietnam yesterday, and is now in Halong Bay, the boat looks beautiful, she has never been to Vietnam, so they are both looking forward to seeing the temples.

Have a great night and even better Sunday.
See you later

I need to get my Prolia injection tomorrow, and the nurse will do my "fit to drive" test while I am there, doesn't need to be in till December, but may as well get it over with. It's the counting back from 100 that I have to concentrate on!! I can do all the others, but my drawing needs help, maybe I'll slip  a small ruler in my bag so I can do that LOL wonder if she'll let me!
 

SIGNS OF THE TIMES......
1.  ON A TENNESSEE HIGHWAY:  TAKE NOTICE: WHEN THIS SIGN IS UNDER WATER, THIS ROAD IS IMPASSABLE.

A COOL AND SUNNY DAY.  IN THE 40S RIGHT NOW BUT SHOULD HIT 50.

I JUST TRIED TO MAKE AN ORDER FROM MY LOCAL GROCER SO I COULD GET A TURKEY BREAST ON SALE.  I MUST HAVE HIT SOMETHING WRONG BECAUSE IT DISAPPEARED.  I WILL TRY AGAIN LATER.

I HAVE ROAST PORK CHOPS WITH TATERS AND CARROTS ON MY MENU TODAY.  I ALSO HAVE A BIT OF STEAK AND CORN LEFT FOR MY LUNCH SO I AM IN GOOD SHAPE.  AS FOR THE WAISTLINE, THAT IS GOING TO NEED MORE HELP.  I ADMIT TO SNEAKING MORE SNACKS THAN I SHOULD.  I AM BADDDDD.

WISHING YOU ALL A GOOD DAY.  HUGS, QB S

Theresa, it's hard to change from one mode of life to another, instantly, but that's what the loss of a loved one amounts to and it's a process to make that change--it doesn't happen over night.  Going from almost never being able to do anything YOU want to having that choice doesn't either, (happen overnight),  but you're making a good start and I know your Mom wouldn't want you to spend a moment of time in regret.  I  was always amazed at your resiliency and pluck, thru it all.   Love you...

Thank you, Holly.  Howard did deserve the quilt and I think he's still pinching himself.   He's been talking about the whole thing more than he ever talks about anything.  I didn't know they put a label on each quilt with the vet's name and details of his service time and who made the quilt.
There was one glitch that I didn't mention yesterday.  The poor substitute QOV rep got two quilts mixed up, Howard's and another man's.  We discovered the wrong certificates yesterday before leaving, but the quilts were switched, too, which was evident as those labels were seen, once we got home.  We called the organizer of the affair to tell him and the other man had just called him, too.   So, the organizer came by here this morning to pick up the quilt and was going to take it to it's rightful owner and get Howard's from him, (some 60 or 70 miles, round trip ) So, we've offered to drive into town to his house to pick up H.'s when he gets back, but haven't heard from him, yet.  

It's a gorgeous fall day.  Nippy, but with bright sun and the colors of the trees are lovely.

So with that, I close this and wish you all a good evening and sweet dreams.
Indy
