Hey Gailster
You’re right. Everyone calls him Santino. Lol
I do ask him. Lol. When he says it’s him, I say is that my Santino? And he yells … it’s me Nana…. He tells all the way up the stairs. It’s so freaking funny! He’s so excited he’s here. Then he eats an orange with me and plays with his toys or my pumpkins and duckies in the table that are glass. Heavy glass…. He has dropped them and they are still in one piece
I’ll attach the placemat and skeleton I put up today. From the Q, of course
Sorry about the covid case! I’ll add an extra prayer he stays mild. Also hope nobody else gets it!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍
I can’t clean like I used to. I can’t even brush my teeth like I used to!!!
Hope you have a good night!
Adele

Hey Colleen
It would be fun to live close by!
Yes, Bobby was here too. I’m ashamed to say we did take out. Lol. I had no notice they were all coming back. We got food from Liberty Bell. Everyone loves it there. They have everything. Marissa and I got haddock. Bobby got a roast beef sandwich. JJ and Gary got chicken fingers. I’m not sure what Amanda got! Santino had mozzarella sticks. Lol
No rain again up here. They are talking about a possible hurricane this weekend. That would be awful because my neighbor is having a wedding in her yard on Sunday, and my other neighbor is having her driveway sealed!
JJ starts school tomorrow. 😱🙏🏻
That’s great you will have help cleaning for the winter. Our grands are so good to us!
Have a good night
Adele

Hi Colleen
Still no rain here.
They all came over yesterday- Amanda and Marissa, and the baby. They helped close the pool. Marissa went home for the baby to nap and then came back for dinner. It was nice to have almost everyone here for dinner
JJ starts school on Tuesday. Aizen does too I can’t believe summer is done
I’d love to live closer to you! We could have tea together! Exchange veggies for baked goods! Lol.
It’s cooler here but still humid.
I hope your Sunday is going well
Thank you for the up-date on Christine. Please let her know she is in my prayers
Have a good 9one!
Adele

Hi Colleen!
I do the same thing you do on the Q site. Antonella was the name I could not remember! Lol. I hope she is ok too
Have you heard anything about Christine?
That’s great you have so many veggies. I’m thinking ours are going to cost a lot more because if the drought up here.
Any day is a great day when we get to spend time with our grands. I see Santino Mion to Thur for about a half hour when Marissa comes to help with deliveries He opens the door and tells…. “Nana, it’s me. I’m here”. No matter how I feel those words bring a smile to my face. He loves eating an orange with me every morning. He loves oranges. He also loves cookies and candy. Lol
I hope your day is going well and you get some rain

Hi DD
The only host I watch in person is Dave on his Sunday show. The rest of the shows I just view what was in them on line. I’ve been disappointed with the hosts since the one for Quacker Factory left. She had a very Italian sounding name…. Annamarie…. Angelique…. Something like that. They seem to be all business now, no personal stories or laughter anymore. Just about the product
It’s hot and humid here again. We’re supposed to get thunderstorms. But, I’ll bet we get nothing again. It’s so gross out there
Hope you get some rain!!!
Adele
Attaching pic of my Caprese salad… basil, mozzarella, tomato and prosciutto

Hi DD
We are in the same position with drought and fires. Accept, the fire here is a lot closer. All day yesterday I heard the helicopters dropping water on the fires at Breakheart. It’s about 3 blocks from here. We are close to the reservation. About 3 city blocks. Scary when you smell and see the smoke !!
I giggled the Xmas shows that have been on so far in the am. Nothing so far that would make me order The shoes do not seem as much fun as years ago. I miss the personal stories the hosts would tell!
That’s a funny story about your kitty. She is a very social cat, which is quite unusual. My cars used to run and hide when a stranger came. She really entertains you, and that is so adorable
Hoping your day is going well, and that you get some rain

Hey Gailster
I have noticed it’s getting dark earlier, and that’s the sad part of fall.
The fires up here are getting scary. There are 5 fires at Breakheart which is about 3 to 4 blocks from us That’s where Marissa and Santino walk every day. It’s closed, of course. The smell of smoke is so gross. Even though we got some rain, they say it is still burning
Gailster…… you sound a little down. I think it’s because if your knee. Every time something happens that limits our life and reminds us we’re getting older, its depressing. Just not fun.
I’m sorry about your knee. Have you had the series of 3 gel shots? Or was it only the cortisone shot ? I’ll add a prayer for your knee🙏🏻♥️
I’m hoping we will here Somme news about Christine soon

Hi Colleen
We’d love some of your veggies! Lol
Everything is burning so bad Ion the deck, so I harvested the basil last week and froze it in measured bags to do the pesto sauce. I have 8 bags of frozen basil.
I can’t believe JJ and Aizen are going back to school in Monday
Nobody has been in the pool for a month. We’re closing it this weekend What a waste it has been this year….. too hot to go in it
We got about 1/2 in of rain yesterday. We might get some thunderstorms today. Then back to 90 tomorrow
It smells of smoke outside. Breakheart reservation near us has 3 fires going. It’s awful!
Hope you’re all ok and staying cool
Adele

Hey Colleen
Steph let JJ stay until today. She’s getting him today. We’re so sad he’s leaving! He goes back to school next week, and Steph needs him back to get ready
Still no rain!!!! Today it’s supposed to rain. We’re all hoping it will finally rain. The draught is so bad up here. Hoping your area is better
It’s awful about what poor Christine is going through. Her health has been such a challenge It’s awful Just awful. My prayers are with her and her husband
Hope your week goes well
Adele
