OMG Gail
Thank God Jenny’s SIL, and kids did not get hurt. They must have been traumatized by the deer dying. They are such pretty animals. But, they do a lot of damage to people in cars.
I will have to remember to ask Christine if she makes mincemeat. She may, you never know.
That bird needs an intervention. I think we are all shocked he is still alive. I wonder if anyone else has ever had that type of experience with a bird? Poor, sick birdie. One of these days he will not be there anymore, and you will know he hit the window for the last time. How long do they live, anyway?
We got rain and wind today, and supposed to get more wind than rain tomorrow and Friday.
Hope your weather is better tomorrow.
Prayers sent your way for Brent. This is such a hard time for him. I hate it when our kids are hurting.

Ditto, Gail
Well said. We should be down on pour knees every day to thank our Veterans for all they did, and do.
Amen to that one!

hi Colleen and Gail, Barbara, Cynthia, Debbie, and everyone…..

I am embarrassed to say I have one closet totally dedicated to decorations. the rest of my closets (4, including the upstairs coat closet) have decorations piled high on the top if each closet. How bad is that?? Then add the ones in the laundry room that Bobby gets up here each year to do the trees with. LOL LOL I really need to re-evaluate my crazed decoration. But, I do not want to stop until Aizen is old enough to remember it.
I hope Brent is ok for the holidays, and finds friends to have dinner with, so he will not be alone.
Oh yes, girls, I will be there, with pen in hand to copy cookie recipes that look good. Does anyone know what day the show is on?
Good God! I have to get some time to go on the main page, and wish everyone well coming onto the Quacker site! It has been a little nuts around here, and time seems to just get away from you.
Love you guys!!!
Adele

PS
My dad was a II veteran, and a lifer. His career was in the Army until the early 1960’s.
Today I am also grateful for all the men and women in the services, and for the freedom they are granting to all if us.

Hi Colleen
I am glad you finally had the shot in your back. I hope it works for you. They do work for me. Do not forget to ice, ice, ice!
I did have a good time with the girls. it is so m nice to go out with your girlfriends, and chat the night away. Thank you.
Oh, oh….is it potato soup time again? Just before Thanksgiving????
I cannot find the extra QVC channels up here. I missed those shows- were they good?
I am still waiting for the lock n lock pie takers. Only 2 weeks to go! Even if they come in after the holiday, I will be glad. Also have to Snoopy throws on waitlist- for the kids, and one for me. Time is running out.
Tomorrow Amanda will be here to do the filling for that genuine Mincemeat pie- got the recipe from King Arthur. the filling has to be made at least 2 weeks before the pie is made. The smell in here will be fabulous tomorrow. I hope we like it, as it is a lot of steps. I like a baking challenge. Hopefully, this will be a good one. I had to get this Maple Liqueur to add tot he filling. Bobby has been saying this will be a 100.00 pie……LOL LOL
It rained here all day. Yuck!
Tomorrow is supposed to be better. Hope you do not put Ron in a pot of potato soup!!!

Gail
Your poor SIL. She has been having a difficult time, even when she tries to do something nice for herself. You know, there are never any shower mats when you go away, and showers are very slippery. Of course, we would not think of that if we were a lot younger.
I am going o have to get those potato’s. That is even better than the frozen fries! we usually have a bag of those on hand for a quicky thing with the frozen chicken fingers.
my back feels better, and I am thrilled. But, I have to remember not to do the things I am not supposed to do. that is hard. I keep trying to pretend I can do everything. Going to the doctor today, for a check on the back, since the shots are done.
hope you have a good day!
It is going to pour here later on.

Hi Colleen
I am glad you are doing the shot in your hip. Gary had those before he got his hip replaced, and they worked for a long time. It will make such a difference in your life. A lot of doctors do not tell their patients to take it easy for 48 hours, and ice the spot at least 3 times a day, for 15 minutes each time. My doctor told me that, and I have done better with the shots than anyone else has. So, my friend, I would say to be a good girl for 2 days, and ice away!!!!
Are they going to pout you partially out for the back shot? I honestly think it is too much to be totally awake. You can move, and then the needle goes in a wrong spot. That is why I have them put me partially out. I fear when you get that jab, you move, or wince, which you really cannot control. It is a knee jerk reaction. Maybe talk to your doctor about that. We all want you in the best shape possible- we love you!!!
I am going to the dentist today for a cleaning, and to look at this spot on my gum line- it gets worst if I eat something acidic. Also after, going to see my back doctor for a check, since the shots are done. I think he will be happy.
Went to dinner last night with Nancy and Irene- had fun. We went to Applebee’s. I ended up with “comfort food”- their mac/cheese, with 2 chicken fingers. It is really good, and I was in the mood for mac/cheese.
It is going to pour later today- hope it doe snot until I am back. Last apt. is at 1:30.
Hope you are feeling better, and already have the shot inyour hip done.
