Hi Gail, and everyone!!
I also like the dresses, but, it was just not a great show. Lady gaga, and the brief visit by the Minnions was the best. I did like the other musical numbers. Those dresses must kill them. Jimmy Kimmel’s after Oscars show was hysterical- watched it last night, as we recorded it.
I have a pot of beef stew cooking. I added a small amount of Harissa paste for a little interest- made it a tiny bit hot. hopefully not hot enough for the picky people to figure out. I will tell them I did a little too much pepper….LOL Lets see if Gary rejects this one. Hopefully the affects of the hospital food are still with us…..
hey girls- I have only one big Annalee Easter duck out. Do you believe it????? If I do not take Gary for his blood test tomorrow, maybe I can get my 2 small boxes out.
I do have just about everything for the kids’ Easter baskets. My back room looks like Santa dropped by. I cannot believe it is only 3 weeks away.
Gail your grands have been so sick this season. the poor things. JJ , Steph, and Aizen have all had a terrible cold, so they have not been over. I hope they all get better soon. the poor things. It is hard to hear they are not well. Watch out. Gail so you do not get sick.
How is Greg doing???
Hope the weather is good for everyone- our sun is shining. It is supposed to rain soon, but, I am not sure when.
AdeleHi Colleen
I did hear form Christine, so that is good. She did not email me, because she thought I would be too busy with Gary. I got worried, like we all do , when we do not hear from one of us.
I am blessed. There are a lot of people who do not have granddaughters, and I feel bad for them. They are a blessing. My grandsons are still too small to do any adult errands….LOL We are both blessed. (Wait a minute—- yours are still small too, right? But you have more daughters.) Gail will have to wait for hers to get older, so they can come visit her.
Gary is doing better today. But, the nurse who came could not get a vein to get blood, so we have to take a trip to the hospital. If it is not stormy tomorrow, we will do it them. I am not sure though, because I thought I heard it was going to rain.
I do not think we will watch the Oscars anymore, either. What a waste of 3 hours. The Jimmy Kimmel after show was a lot better. I recorded it- it was hysterical.
I am so glad the back calmed down. It is so hard when one needs help, that the other has no business doing. Nobody told us about this when we were young….LOL
I can hardly wait to hear how much fun you had with the baby!!!! Take a pic, so we can see her cute little self.
Hope your weather is good.
AdeleHi Colleen
The back is a little better today. I still cannot bend over to pick anything up. We have a grabber, so that is good. We had the kids fill the machine the last 2 days. He really can use an ice bag, but, he likes the machine.
Marissa came by, and went to BJ’s for us. We had a huge order! So glad Rissy is not working today, or in school. She has classes on Tuesday and Thursday’s.
Hetaher is doing the route all by herself today. She usually goes with Gary on Monday, and he stays in the van, while she goes in and out of the customers shops.
That is great that you get to see the baby, and the grands on the weekend. I hope the weather cooperates, and you have a good time.
Did you see the Oscars last night? I was a little disappointed. The songs were good- loved Lady Gaga, and the sexual abuse survivors. That brought tears to my eyes.
Have you heard form Christine? I usually hear form her, and I have not in a few days.
hope your day is going well- it is sunny here and in the 50’s.
AdeleHi GAil
Read my post to Colleen for more info- hard to type today.
The machine looks like a small cooler, has 2 hoses that are together, and attach to this shoulder harness/ice pad, and the cold water circulates through it. We get to keep it. That is what hurt my back, as it is heavy to carry full of the water and ice in it. We will have to get one of the kids, or the nurse to do it today. there is no way I can, as I can barely walk. Standing, and walking is very difficult today. This is what I was afraid of. I am so screwed with this dam back. I feel useless when this happens. Trying to keep my spirits up.
I have to be grateful he is in no pain, and doing so well, and I am. I have to count all the good today, to keep my spirits up.
Hope your weather comes this way….LOL
Let me know what car you decide on- I am a Jeep girl.
AdeleHi Colleen
Cannot type much today. with all the things I did for Gary, my back went out. I really cannot do any reaching , that involves bending down. Did ice and Advil, and hope it stops quick.
The nurse comes today. Bobby is out shopping, and does not know yet. Between him and Hetaher they will help, but, I feel bad always asking. Hetaher was going to BJ’s today, and maybe I will just have her stay here for a while instead.
What got me was carrying the ice machine thing- it was heavy. Plus getting it plugged in, etc. I am sure it was that, and helping Gary with his socks and shoes. This stinks. I am praying ti will stop fast.
Everyone, including GAry likes the cakes. I told Gary maybe the anesthesia fixed his food issue….LOL
Ron does a lot of work. I am glad he is able to, and you do nto have to worry about him. One person with back issues is enough in a couple.
I hope you get to see the baby soon, and your weather cooperates.
AdeleHi Gail., Colleen, and everyone!
Gary is home. believe it or not- no pain. I was right. He had so much pain prior, that this was a piece of cake. he said occasionally there is a dull ache. So glad the surgery part is over. the worst part is his sore throat from the breathing tube thingie.
Look at the post to Cynthia- I made a new recipe- Lemon Cakes. I love lemon, and I hope Gary likes them. they just seemed so spring like for today.
You had to see us get him settled. The hospital gave him a couple of johnnies, as he cannot get that arm in anything. So he has his PJ bottoms on, and the johnnie tucked in….LOL He came home with a machine that runs ice through it, and all over the shoulder area. he has that on all day long. Only thing is, our fridge does not make enough ice for that. We will have to get some extra, or bag some as the fridge makes it.
Gail- I have that top in the salmon color- it is really pretty.
Colleen- I am like you . If the knees are showing, they will be on You Tube. I only get the crops, as they fit me perfect length as long pants, and no hems needed.
Hope everyone’s night is going well.
AdeleHi Cynthia
Love the pretty top. I am sorry you have another illness to deal with. You are dealing with a lot, and are always in my prayers.
We were all wondering what happened to you. So glad you are ok.
Hope you love the new house- post a pic for us to see.
I am attaching a pic of the Lemon Cakes I just made for Gary’s homecoming today. he way in the hospital with a total shoulder replacement. he came home this afternoon.
It is 45 up here, not 85…..LOL
Hope you got all your things un-packed, and ready for Easter. Are you still in the Las Vegas area?
Hope you have a good evening.
AdeleHi Gail and Colleen
Gary is out of surgery- all went well- ended up a 4 hour surgery. Doctor said there a lot of arthritis, and bone spurs, and the joint was completely gone. He will be uncomfortable for a couple of day form all the chiseling…..yuck.
The Minnion socks have not arrived yet- I am dying to see them. the kids are going to love them.
I am still home, as he will not be in a room until around 2. So, I did see a little of the shows. Tillie ordered the capris. I did not order anything yet. I should be home by the time of the next show, I think.
I just hope I get a good parking spot today. they do have valet parking, but, by the time I leave, it will be a pain to get the jeep. Valet only works until a certain hour.
I am so glad they made up too. This went on for too long, and it was not good for anyone.
So happy there is some progress on Greg getting help at work!
Dear Lord, Colleen. You live in snake country!!! I hope Ron will be good at looking out for where he walks more, since your other dog is gone.
I hope the wind is not coming this way again. It was awful- we had gusts up to 65mph. We were lucky there was no damage.
Oh yes- I do remember being the know-it-all. Unfortunately, Tillie still says I am….LOL LOL
Talk tomorrow!
AdeleHi Colleen
So sorry for the snow , that you were no able to get to see the baby. This has to be over soon, as it will be March next week.
I think we got the storm last night. Huge amount of rain, thunder, and dangerous winds. It was so noisy that you could not sleep. I was awake a lot last night. Even the birch was banging against the house. The wind sounded like a train, which scared me, thinking a tornado was forming. You know how they freak me out!
I hope Greg gets someone to help with the business. So much stress on both of them.
Thank you for the prayers. I know he will be ok. He is freaking out about not being home for the business, etc. I am sure he will be home by Monday.
Do those snakes nest in the branches during the winter, so they will disturb them when they get rid of the wood? You really have a lot of snakes out there. You need that Irish Saint to lead them out of your town!! Ban them from the property. We have a lot of birds, squirrels and chipmunks- some rabbits too. I have not seen a snake in a while. Last time I did, it was a dead one. Snakes are just not on the list of creatures to like in the yard.
I hope your weather gets better, so yo can see the baby. Maybe this weekend you will be lucky.
Heather spent the night at Steph’s last night. OMG….did I tell you they all finally made up? Just in time for Easter, and Tillie’s birthday in May. I am so glad they are all talking again. Well, she said when Aizen got up this morning he hugged her, and said,”I’m hungry”. That was the first time she heard him say that, and she said it was so funny to hear him say that.
Hope the sun is shining- it is bright, and windy over here.
