Hi Adele,
If you do not mind giving me the recipe for the cabbage and sausage and apples I would like to have it. If you do not want to give it out I will go and try and find it on the internet. It just really sounds good.
I must have missed something. Where did you get the three witches? That would be cute outside the house. Tomorrow I have to find more decorations for outside for the hay ride. I did absolutely nothing today. I need to do something and get my decorations out for the fall and Halloween. I am getting so far behind. The grands use to come over and help me but now that they are all in school they do not do that anymore. They are too busy to come and help old grandma. lol Maybe I can get my daughter to come over and help. Sometimes she will help. You never know.
We do have a lot of things going on out here in the fall. It will all end at Christmas festivals and then it will not start again until after Easter. THey do not do much in the summer except for the 4th of July stuff and then sometimes they will do something for Memorial day but not often. I do not know why they skip that every year.
Well that is about all from here have a good night.

Hi Cynthia,
You did a really good job decorating your yard. That was a good yard to decorate. It is a shame that you cannot do some things in the new house. But if you are hurting it would be hard to do anything. I like seeing the pictures of how you decorated your yard.

Hi Cynthia,
Like you pictures of the front yard in the old house. That is so cute. You really did a lot of decorating when you lived in that house.

Hi Barbara,
I wrote to you once and all of a sudden it was gone. I do not know what I hit but I tried to get the post back but it was gone. That is so aggravating. So here it is again. Hopefully this one will not disappear.
It is hard not to worry about you kids no matter how old they are. It bothers me sometimes that the kids start out with so much and do not have to work for things as hard as we did.Things come to easy to some of them and they do not have to struggle together to make things work. I wonder if that is why some of them do not make it. They do not have that growing time together. Where they have to really work to have the things that they want. I just hope that they make it thru the hard times.
It is fun to watch the thunderbirds. They have not been in our area for a long time. Most of the time we see them on tv when they have appeared somewhere else. They are just so much fun to watch. They really do some interesting things.
Jerry just does not learn. You are going to have to put a collar on him with a bell so you can keep track of him.lol Men just never learn. I hope that his back does not hurt too bad. Does he have something to take for the pain? I am sure that he does that was a dumb question. I guess they have been doing that type of things all of their lives and it is hard to quit. They just have to find out for themselves I guess. Maybe he got this out of his system and will not do anything else for awhile.
I have watched some of the Christmas shows for the last couple of days. Have not bought anything though. I bought most of my stuff on the Christmas in July shows. I got a lot of shopping done and do not have a lot more to do. Just have to find something for my mom. She is so hard to buy for. She is giving some of her things away now because she is thinking that she needs to do that. She is going to be 93 in November and she is thinking that she will not be around much longer. She really creeps me out some days.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good evening. Will talk to you later.

Hi Gail,
I will probably keep the shirt and vest. I just have to think about things and sometimes I do it too much. After I buy it I should just forget about it until it comes and then I will not have to worry about canceling it.
I am glad that Gregs tooth is better. Hope that he does not have to go thru that again. At least they got him feeling better right away. Did he have another concert? I must have missed that. They are such a good group.
Well have a good evening and will talk to you later.

Hi Adele,
How did your cabbage sausage and apples turn out? I have been waiting to hear and really do want the recipe. It sounds really good and would be something that we would like. Ron likes anything with cabbage and I like it with sausage and the apples just makes it sound better.
That is funny that it is so cool there that you have to bake to warm the house up. We are like you do not want to turn the heat on until we have to. We do have heaters that work really well and cuts down on the gas bill They are not bad on the electric either. I am not ready for the really cold weather but I do like to cover up with a warm blanket and stay snuggled up.
That is good that the stint comes out in the office. They put me under when they took the stints out so maybe that is why I did not feel a thing. After they were out I did not have any problems either. Guess it just depends where they put them.
The weather is nice here and we can sit outside when we want and not burn up. It has been misting rain here this evening though. We were not supposed to have any rain just cloudy. Oh well when does the weather man get thing right.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.

Hi Adele,
I really like you village. It is really cute. It must have taken you awhile to get it all together. You do such a good job decorating. I am still trying to find some decorations to put outside. Ruth told me today that she found some things at the dollar store for a dollar. Will go there tomorrow and see what they have. I hope that they have some things left. They must have started early this year.
That is nice that you got together with your friends. I do that once a month with a bunch of woman that I use to go to water aerobics with. I need to go back but with my stomach the way it is it may not be a good idea. We have that doctors appointment on Tuesday so will see if the guy will give me a referral. If not I will go on my own and pay for it myself. I am so sick of this insurance thing. Obama care really stinks.
We went to a new restaurant for dinner. We had a really good meal. We had a coupon for a free large pizza, to orders of pasta, and drinks for free. I bought it at the auction and did not give enough for what we got. The food was so good. I will try and get more people to go there. They are new and so not a lot of people know that they are there. If I get my daughter to go she will get her friends to go. It is so hard for a new business to get going. Money is so tight around this area.
Not much else going on here. I really wish that people did not think that we are not including them in our conversations. I feel really bad about it. Really do not know what to do to change things.

Hi Sue,
I am sorry if we have ignored any of your posts. I try to answer when I see one. We do not want to hurt anyone’s feelings or make anyone quit coming on here. You and I have been on here for a long time to stop now. I will watch more carefully in the future.

Hi Barbara,
I have my plate and fork ready for the pie.lol You and Adele keep talking about apple pies and apple crisp you are making me hungry for something sweet. lol I am going to have to go get some apples.
I can understand how you feel about Jerry and not wanting to take care of himself. Ron is the same way. He is feeling better now and is going to give me trouble about going to the doctor. I am going to call one of our daughters and see if they can be here to help me get him to go. he is still coughing and all of that junk so he needs to go. Men what can you do with them.
I have to get my fall things out of the closet still. I bought a few things to put outside for when we have the hay ride. We do not have any trick or treaters to worry about putting things outside for Halloween night. We never have since we moved out here. The houses are just too far apart and they have to drive down the long drive ways and most people do not want to do that. The kids would not get to go to too many houses. We will just go to the church and give out candy at their trunk or treat. Do you get many kids that come to your place on Halloween?
It will be nice for all of you to spend some time apart. You and Jerry need the time alone for awhile. With you son Neal and Sarah living that can become very stressful. We have gone thru that with a couple of our daughters and their husbands. You just need that time for some peace and quite. Enjoy it while you can.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night and will talk to you later.
Colleen
