Hi colleen
dear God- why are they continuing with the shower? I certainly hope she doe snot get mad. I would think she would act happy, no matter what. She is a nice young woman, and she is your daughter. I cannot see her getting real mad at them. I bet she doe snot want one, because it is not her first child, and she feels funny. A lot of people feel that way. If she does, just tell her they all wanted to do something nice for her. Do not fret, or you will ruin the shower for you, instead of having a good time. I bet it will all work itself out.
Do you have a date for your gastro apt yet? Hope you got one today, so you will know when it is.
It is going to be a hard freeze here tonight. I have 4 pitiful looking peppers that are starting to turn their right color. they look like they will die, before they turn color…..LOL
Tillie and your Mom would be best friends, and get into trouble together. Tillie would not say anything either, if she fell and lived alone. They make us so nervous! You know why- we are both afraid they will do something, and then be gone.
Hope you have a good night- GAry is doing good, so far. Surgery went well, and he is not too sore…..yet. He had the hand surgery today, that was supposed to be next week. So next week, he will have the nuclear teat.
AdeleHey Gail
Gary did well with the surgery. he was home in 3 hours. His hand is a little swollen, but, would think that is expected. He said it is a little sore, but, not bad. To tell you the truth, I am glad that’s over.
I never had to get-out of the car. Dropped him off, and then just picked him back up again.
I hope your SIL does get married, if she can (financially), and you would be able to go this time. She must be happy to be all moved in, and done with the boxes.
I looked at Quacker today, and low and behold…….the angel shirt- with the 3 angels around the neckline was in stock- so excited, I got the snowman one too before that went of stock again! Very happy about that one.
Hope you have a good night- we are having a hard freeze tonight. Rissy came over to see Gary, and she covered all the outside furniture for us. Now, it looks like winter is coming, for sure. At least we are ready. If I want to g out on the deck, I can always use a folding chair from the kitchen – we have 6 in the corner, for when the gang arrives.
I will be baking tomorrow, as it will be chilly. Not sure what I will make yet.
I have been awake since 5:45am.
AdeleHi Barbara
I wonder if we have those trees up here.
Well…….I got the spots out, but I had 2 areas that were all smeared- LOL. I fixed them today, as I could not stare at them all day long- they were in perfect view from my seat in the kitchen.
Gary did well. So far, he is still numb where they did the work. We were home by 9:30. Dear Lord! I hope I stay up for my favorite hunk…….Tom Selleck tonight, on Blue Bloods. Gayr has iced his hand twice, and asked what we are ordering for dinner. I told him- his choice, as he has the boo boo.
Heather and Marissa have already stopped by to see him. MArissa had to go to work. She was so sweet. She asked him if there was anything she could do,a ndhe says…how about covering the outside furniture? She did, under his groggy supervision…..LOL So, we are all buttoned up outside.
Bobby is finishing his jobs outside tomorrow- re-caulking the foundation, and washing the windows.
Hope your day is going well.
AdeleHi Barbara
if I leave now, will I be there in time for the ribs on Sunday? LOL LOL
Well, I finished my touch ups, and in the middle of it all, the doctor called, and they changed Gary’s hand surgery to tomorrow. Needless to say, it threw me into a tizzy of calls- getting him cleared medically by tonight- he is at his GP right now….cancelling the nuclear test for tomorrow, and his apt with the diabetes doctor. So, I put away my supplies, washed the cloth, and finally sat down, after I cannot tell you how many calls back and forth. I sit here, and look up, and see 2 huge smears that I made. I could scream. I will have to fix 2 smears on 2 doors. over the weekend. If I were not so stressed, I would have noticed before I washed everything.
So, no breakfast out for Adele and Gary again tomorrow. I swear the Heavens are conspiring so that we do not have any time out of this house that does not involve a doctor apt.
Tillie is a little better.
That is great that you and Jerry get in a little walk each day. I do not think I have ever seen a Ginko tree- not sure.
That is so nice that Jerry had his Dad there until he died. What a gift to the boys, and him, to have him close by to talk with. That is hysterical about him in his undies! The value of being an multi-generational/extended family is so great to everyone. I bet the boys have fond memories of their chats with him.
Well…tomorrow morning at 6 :15, when I leave here to drop hubby off, I will not be in my Quacker finery. I will be in my Carole Hochman pajamas. I will come back home, and get dressed at a more reasonable hour. He will be there for at least 4 hours, and I do not want to sit in those chairs for that long. I guess I will not get the vote for “The Good Wife”……LOL LOL (our hospital is only a 5 minute drive from here)
I hope you are continuing to enjoy the Fall- it is the best time of year. Like you, I miss the pumpkin carvings, apple picking, Fair going, costume making days. But, we still have our baking! At least I can still bake the pies, after they bring me the apples. Let’s not forget the decorating.
Alzheimers is a very nasty disease. I have 2 people in the middle of that now. My BIL, and best friend on this street- my friend Phyllis. She is at the end stage of Alzheimers. Her husband is keeping her home, and I have no idea how this man is doing it every single day. Every time I see a picture of her…and she is in a lot of my pictures, I feel so dam sad. I hope I never know another person with Alzheimers.
Hope your evening is going well……I am off to the showers.
AdeleHi Cynthia
Glad to hear from you again. I would die in that heat! God bless you!
That is fabulous that you had a successful garage sale. So, did you serve lemonade?
I hope you and hubby can make new holiday traditions, now that you are alone. It is very sad when there is nobody form our parents’ generation anymore. All I have is Tillie- everyone else is long gone. I am very lucky to still have her.
Hope your day is a little cooler!
Adele
PS read my other posts to get all the news……Hi Barbara
I am with you- let them eat the leftovers tomorrow. I love leftovers- just heat, and eat. That ispour dinenr tonight- we have leftovers form both roast I made this week. everyone can pick which one they want, as I am bust touching up the cabinets.
read my posts to Gail and Colleen for all the info.
Glad everyone is safely home from Florida.
it is in the low 60’s here today, and going down. Tomorrow will be the first time I pull out a Quacker jacket!
Adelehi Colleen
Read my post to Gail on the info on “freshy Tillie”. She is still sore. Oh yes- we have become the parents of our parents. We are both lucky we still have them. Tillie wears a Quacker shirt every day, she is very funny…..when she behaves.
Thank you for the prayers- we will need them. I hope he has more functioning than they thought. He is like a cat with 9 lives. I keep telling him he will run out of lives, sooner or later, so he needs to be good.
I also have to monitor where she puts the heat setting. She always tells me we spend so much on oil, and tries to save. I tell her downstairs has to be at least 3 degrees higher than up here, as heat rises. She tries to save on the heat, and she is way too old to be cold! She needs to be comfortable in her old age.
I am fixing spots on the cabinets today, with that Miracle Finish I got from the Q years ago- I love it! Getting ready for the holidays…..LOL
It is going to get really cold her tomorrow. I will have to pick one of my Quacker jackets to put on. So far, I have not had to wear one. Winter is coming!
Hope you are having a good day, and your belly is feeling a little better. Did you hear about a referral for a gastro doctor yet? Stomach issues are no joke.
AdeleHi Gail
Thanks for looking to see if there are any good reads on Alzheimers. The movie does not sound like it will help much, as my BIL is way beyond that stage. I did find a couple of books, but they did not come in the audio versions on Barnes and Nobles. site.
I hate it when the laptop goes nuts- it is our way of communicating to everyone.
The Chew is in Disney all week- tune in today and tomorrow.
I am working on spot refinishing of the kitchen cabinets. Got that Miracle Finish stuff years ago form the Q, and it is fabulous. Did the first scratch step, and waiting for it to dry; before the Finish coat. You know, around the drawers, and cabinets where you work all the time, and some of the finish comes off. Perfect for that!
Tillie took the Alleve, and is taking more this morning. She said it still hurts- does not want to go to the doctor. I am hoping this will just get better on it’s own. I swear, I am going to smack her, if she does not stop doing things she is not supposed to do. I cannot get it through her head that she is 89, and needs to be very careful in the movements she makes. Due to her age, they would never do surgery, and she has to stop acting like she is 50. We all know how delicate a spine is, and I do not want her to hurt hers, as she is in a lot better shape than I am. She has some arthritis, but, nowhere near what I have. her knees are fine too. She told me yesterday, when I had a hissy fit over what she did, that I am always yelling at her……LOL. Seriously??? I think I need one of those “nanny cams” downstairs, so I can yell “stop that”, before she does something silly. She did come up for dinner last night, so doing the stairs was not affected. She is very achy- in her neck. The neck is where all the nerves go through!! Honestly, I have become the mother, and she the 2 year old. I could threaten not to call QVC, the next time she wants something. That would strike fear in her to be a good girl…..LOL LOL
I hope you get good attendance for your event, as you all put so much into it to make it a success. I cannot believe it has been another year.
I wrote a post on the denotes to the designers section, asking if they could do crops with those pretty designs on the bottom. Of course, it would have to be a little smaller, due to the length, but, I would buy every one, in every color. I was so disappointed to send them back. Such a pretty design!
OMG- The Chew is on, and Michael has on a huge hat for the sun- it is so funny!
I think it will be a while, until we find out the results of the scan- hopefully less than a week. We are going out for breakfast after the scan tomorrow. I will have to decide which shirt to wear. I think I will do a pumpkin one. The back one, with the pumpkin in front, from last year’s collection, arrived yesterday. I was not able to even get on the waitlist for that fabulous one they had this year- Tillie has it.
I am f off to do my second coat…..
Adele*******************************************EMERGENCY REVISION TO THE SAUERKRAUT RECIPE******************************
God bless Tillie, she is, after all, 89 and counting. So, I tell her at the dinner table that I posted her recipe for all to enjoy. Then it dawns on me- you would have to put in some water, or it would burn. So, I ask her. and she says, “Of course you do”. So, I ask how much. She is not sure. We settled on a half of a can of water, measured form the large can of sauerkraut.
So, ladies, watch your pots. If you feel after the boiling for a while, that it may burn, add a little more as you go along. This is not a “soupy” recipe. It generates some fluid on it’s own, but not a lot. But, enough to keep it from burning, when you simmer it on low for the 2 hours. When it is ready, it will be wet, but not soaked in a soupy broth- hope that helps.
Just remember- you can add, but, not take away once you do.
Sorry for the confusion, everyone…….Quacky cooking!
