Hi Adele,
I do not get notices on here either. I just go to the site and see if anyone has been on here. This site is going to be different and we are going to have to get use to the new way. I am glad that you finally came on here. We were getting worried about you. I am just glad that you and Gary are okay.
Ron has some type of lung infection. He will not go to the doctor because he thinks that he can cure it. Well surprise he cannot. He was eating garlic because he heard that it will really help. Well all it did is keep people away from him. He just ate the garlic. I could not stand to be around him. So he did quit. Thank God.
Our weather has really cooled down here. We had the rain and after we got the rain the temps started to fall. We are supposed to have some days in the lower 80’s but that is normal for us. We do not stay cool until we get further the fall. I will be glad when we get into the cool weather. All the pools around here have already been closed. It just seems that everyone closed their pools after Labor day. It is sad that no one can go swimming when it is still hot. I guess they just want to do it then because it is tradition. Do you leave any water in the pool at all or does all of it have to be drained? We have never had a big pool so have not idea how to close them for the winter.
I hope that they get your dryer fixed. It is hard to be without a dryer. I do not like to have to go to the laundry mat. They are expensive and not always clean. You almost always have to clean out the washing machine before you use it. The same with the dryer. I really do not like to go.
I wrote about the auction on Gails post please go there to read it if you want to. Ron did not go with me he was not feeling well. So had to go alone. I went early because I wanted to get a parking space close to the building so I would not have to carry my things too far. Joe carried all of my stuff to the car for me. He and Ruth are really good friends. So he did that so I would not have to. I had to take my cane with me so I would not fall in the grass. We had rain the night before and did not want to fall. That would have been a mess.
Well tha is about all from here. Have a good night. I am glad that you saw that we were here.
ColleenHi Gail,
I hope that there is something they can do for Greg and stop all the pain. That has to be uncomfortable going to work when his mouth hurts so bad. Can he eat now? That makes it hard also if he cannot eat hardly anything. Will keep praying for him.
Ron does like to aggravate the kids. Sometimes he really get them going. That is funny that Kendal is going thru this. I wonder how long that she will do this. Kids do go thru a lot of funny things when they are young. Does she ever get a joke or does she just take it all serious. That is funny that she corrects everyone. She is something else.
She was taking the garlic pills because she thought it would help her to lose weight. It did not work though. The only thing that it did is make her smell like garlic. So she quit taking it. They tell you that the pills do not make you smell like garlic but they do.
I hope you had fun in Chicago with Nan. Did you find a lot of interesting things at the shops. I do not blame you for not wanting to leave Rocky by himself. He is older and he does not have another dog around to keep him company. That was nice that Jenny checked on him for you. That kind of broke up the day for him. He is not spoiled he is just well looked after. He has been in your family for a long time. So you have to take care of him. We do this with our dogs and our guineas.
that is a shame that you will have to miss the fiddle contest. You and Greg like all of the musical fests. It seems like when the church has their auction the fall season has started. We had a lot of fun at the auction. I bought a Keruig there for six dollars. No one would bid on it so I did. Ron really likes it he says that it works really good. It had a filter for it so you do not have to buy the k cups unless you want to. The people were not bidding as high as they have at earlier auctions. I got a basket of candles and candle holders for 15 dollars. Usually they sell for 50 or 60 dollars. They were just not bidding. This one woman paid 100 dollars for a bunch of wood spindles. That is how they bid sometimes. You would not think they would pay that much for things like that. They must know something that I do not know. I did not go to the auction of the cakes and jellies this time. I came home I was so tired. I got there at nine thirty in the morning and did not get home until around four. It took them a long time to get everything sold. I also got a new sandwich machine. It was brand new and is really nice. They had a trailer of all new things and even those things went cheaply. I just hope that the church made a lot of money. They need it to keep things going.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night and will talk to you later.
ColleenHi Gail,
I hope what they did for Greg today will really help him. It is nice that they got him in right away and he did not have to suffer with it for very long. Your dentist sounds like ours. If he knows that you are in pain he will get you in right away and not make you wait. Some dentist will say they do not have an opening right away and make you wait a couple of days. That really drives me crazy. We do not have a lot of good dentists down here. They are opening a new dentist office down here but do not know what they will be like. I think that it is one of those chains that have offices all over the place. it is called Aspen Dentist offices. It will be interesting to see how it does and if people like them or not.
I agree with you on the first to go on dwts. They were none of them very good and am not sure they will improve. It is weird that Paula Deen keeps hanging on the guy that she is dancing with. She needs to let go and stand on her own. Ron does not like reality shows and he says all kinds of goofy things. I do agree with him about some of the shows. Like lost how can they be lost if they have a camera crew with them filming them the whole time. How lost can you be. The ones where the public votes on who leaves the show cannot be rigged or the viewers would start to complain or they would stop watching. The older he gets the more opinionated he gets. The kids are always arguing with him about what he says. He may just enjoy getting them all arguing with him. At least they have an opinion and they do like to share it with him.
Getting close to Ron with all the garlic can make you sick. Garlic does not effect me like it does you but if there is too much it is not good. My daughter Mandy was taking the garlic pills and she was taking too many and you could smell it on her skin. That was awful. She finally quit taking them. Her kids tried to tell her but she did not listen until she came here and we told her she smelled like she had been rolling in garlic all day. She told the kids that she was sorry for not listening.
With the insurance that we have we have to get a refferal to see another doctor. If we don’t they will not pay for it. So if I go and pay for the doctor if they do any tests or anything they will not pay for that either. We are going to have to change insurance next year. I am tired of this one. We will never get an hmo again. When we went to the old doctor it was not a problem. He would just refer us to who we need to see. I wish he would start taking our insurance.
We have friends that go to that church. We do not go there because it is not a Catholic church or a Baptist church. They are a good bunch of people though. They always ask me to come to their womens meetings and do things with them. It may be a good idea going there because we can both go together. The Catholic church down here is a little one that is connected to another one in another town. So they do not do much at this church. The other church is about 30 minutes away and I do not go there often. I am not one to go to church early it takes me a long time to get ready and I leave just in time to get there. Isn’t that terrible.
How is your ankle? I hope that it is better and you do not have to wear that brace all the time. Sometimes it is hard to put that on and go somewhere it is a lot of trouble. It is easier to just go. Do you have any plans for the week-end? We are going to the auction and that is about it. We may not stay long it will depend on how high the bidding gets and if they have any nice things. This is the time for all of the fall festivals to start. Do you have many around you arrea?
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Gail,
I did not understand why they needed to have to nights next week. We will have to wait and see what goes on with it. Do you have a favorite picked out yet? It is hard the first couple of weeks. Some did really good and others did okay but next week they may really do great and the ones that were so good my not do as well. You never know about this show. It is just fun to watch. Ron has been telling me he knows who is going to win. I should have him tell me and then when he is wrong I am going to laugh at him. He keeps telling me that it is all planned. They decide who will be the winner of the season when they pick out the people to be on there. I do not see how they can do that. I think that he is wrong.
Garlic is supposed to heal his lungs. How I do not understand unless the smell scares it away and it won’t come back. Makes not sense to me. He does all this stupid stuff and then ends up at the docs sooner or later. This time he needs to go sooner and not wait. We have to go to the auction this week-end and I want him to be well.
I will have to find out at the library close to her house. I did not know that they did that. I think this time we will keep it simple. I am not going to make all of the snacks. We can just buy some and leave it at that and have the cake. It is a lot of work and I am not in the mood to do all that again.
I am sorry to hear that Greg is still having trouble so much trouble with his tooth. Usually the z pack works really well. Please let us know how it went at the dentist today. That makes my teeth hurt just thinking about it.
This week-end is the big church auction. I am not making potato salad this year. I have not been feeling that well so decided that it was time that I stop for awhile. They need to get some of the younger members of the church doing all of that. It will be nice if we belonged to this church we just go to all of the functions. They have a good group of people there. They take the money they make and do a lot of good things in the community. I guess that is why they always do so well with it. They are the ones that have the chicken and dumpling dinner in October.
I have not been reading much here lately. I did start a book but have not got that far into it yet. I need to start reading again. I have been playing on my tablet a lot here lately and doing stuff like that. I guess I go thru spells. It would be nice if you started that thread up again about what everyone is reading.
Well that is about all from here. Will talk to you later.
ColleenHi Barbara,
I am glad that you just hung your head for a minute. It is not worth worrying about. It is funny how when you are younger it is important to get everything done and right away and now it like who cares. Let the dust fly. Did you get any of the Halloween shirts? They have a few back in stock. If interested I posted the numbers on the post to Adele. I just noticed that they were back in stock. I am still debating on whether I want one of them or not. You cannot wear them that often but they are so cute.
How is Jerry and Neal doing? I hope that they are feeling better. That is funny that Lisa and Joey did not want the two guys to be around when they came. They did get their pie though. That was just funny.
I wonder why our husbands do not understand that we need them just as much as they need us. If they get sick it is hard on us also. Ron has been sick and the girls and I have been trying to get him to go to the doctor. He will not go. Not him, He is eating some garlic and that is supposed to cure what ever it is that is wrong with him. All that it is doing is running us out of the house. Minced garlic really smells bad.lol
I hope that your granddaughter gets the job at Disney. It is hard to work and take care of the grand kids. She knew that you and Jerry loved her. You are such good people She would have to know. Kids can sense things like that.
Your apple pie sounds really good. You and Adele are the bakers in the group. You both do a good job. You two make me feel bad that I do not bake as much as I use to. Well not enough to get to be start baking again but a little guilty. lol
Well that is about all from here. Hope that the guys get better soon and that you do not catch what they have.
ColleenHi Adele,
I found some pumpkin shirts on the Quacker factory tops on the Q. Here are the numbers.A268433, a257629 AND a267230 They had a lot of sizes when I looked but if interested you probably need to hurry to get one of the. I was not sure which ones you were looking for but these are cute.
I love the smell of the apples in the fall. We use to have an orchard close to here but they tore out all of the apple trees and are putting up some kind of subdivision. We were all really disappointed when they did that. So now we have to drive a long ways to get to another one. They always have such good apple cider and the apple donuts. They also had a maze for the kids to go thru. It was just a fun day in the fall for the kids and parents.
That is nice that the family all moved close to each other and stayed. Ron’s sister married an Italian man and they all stayed close together also. They all came from St. Louis and when one of them moved to this area they all did. It was like a migration. The schools down here are safer and better then most of them in the city. That is sad. They use to have really good schools.
I am not sure who my favorite is on dwts. I like that young married couple but I also like Bindy she was pretty good. Gary Bussey is a joke. He just does not act right. He was saying things and they could not make sense of it. The others we will see. Poor Paula Deen was so scared. Hopefully she will calm down by next week. Who was your favorite? They are supposed to have two shows next week. I guess they will eliminate one couple on both nights. I guess this is the first time they have done this. So it will be interesting.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Gail,
I like the pictures that you found for the fall. They are really cute. I cannot believe that the summer is almost over now. We have had a warm up also but at night it is still kind of cool. Good sleeping weather. At least with this dentist you have a lot more confidence in him. It is nice that he is not doing all those procedures on Greg that are not necessary. Is Greg’s tooth still feeling okay? I have never had a root canal but have heard that they really hurt. So hopefully will never have to have one.
Piper is so funny. It is interesting that she did finally put some pants on. I wonder why she does not like to have pants on. Maybe she does not like them if she wets them and thinks it is better not to have any on. I bet Jenny has her hands full with that one. It is funny how the kids lose their teeth. Once they start it seems to happen really fast. They never look the same after they get their big kids teeth. They lose their boyish charm. It is the same with the little girls. How is Piper doing with her potty training? Hope that she will be easy to break. It should be easier since she has an older sister and brother.
I saw that they are having a few shows on QVC plus. They are going to have some new tops I think are some two for one things with the tops. That usually is a good deal when they have the two tops for 40 some odd dollars. I do not need to buy anymore tops or dj right now. I have been buying so much here lately. I have got to get my Christmas gift cards and some little gift for the kids that are getting the cards. I may buy them a book or something like that. Ethan loves to read but not sure about Owen. Will have to ask his mom. They need to get something to open from us.
Then in January we will have to buy gifts for the baby. We may have the baby shower after the baby is born. It would be easier then doing it before hand. Everybody has so many things planned for this time of year. So will have to talk to Kevins mom and see what she thinks. We may have to have it at Danyielle’s since they do not know where we live and do not want to rent a room at a hotel again. Those meeting rooms are expensive and if hardly anyone comes it is not worth it. We will see.
I see Barbara found it but not Adele yet. I will have to check on the other discussion and see if Adele is still there. She will find it though I am sure.
have a good night.
ColleenHi Adele,
Isn’t nice to have the windows open now. I am so tired of having the air on all the time. We need some fresh air in here and I need to do the fall cleaning. I really do not like to have to do it but no one will do it for me. I think that once a man retires he should start to help with all the cleaning. It should be in a contract that they have to sign when you marry them.lol There would probably be less marriages if that had to be signed.
How nice that the home did all that for the celebration. The table sounded really nice. They did a good job setting it all up. It is hard when you see they have forgotten who some people are. You just have to try to get thru it and not let them know it upsets you. That had to be hard on his kids. I use to work with people with dementia and Alzheimer. It is a sad process to watch as it happens. Some of them are happy go lucky during this process but then others do not go thru it well. Gary must have taken it really hard also. It is so hard when it a family member and you were once close to each other. I guess you just have to think of all the good times that you had together and go on from there.
It would be nice if kids realized that these friends that they think they have to impress will not matter to them once they graduate from high school. Everyone goes their separate way and do not see each other again. It is hard for the kids to realize that though. It is really true in a small town. A lot of the kids go off to college and never come back here and some just move away to find a job. We have a lot of that here and it is unusual when they remain friends.
Sounds like you grands and Gail’s are all doing great. Ethan called me yesterday to wish me happy grand parents day. He never forgets like the other kids do. He does not like his teacher this year but that is not unusual. It is the one he has at regular school. He really likes the one at the exhilarated school. They are up to his level there and he likes that. He does things that keeps his interest. I do worry about when they have to be moved to another place. We just hope that he goes where they have the same type of program.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.
ColleenHi Gail,
Costco always has some nice things. We shop there a lot for paper goods and can goods. We buy things that we can keep for awhile. I really like their pretzel rolls. They are so good with chicken salad and a lot of other things. There decorations are a little pricey for me. I usually wait until the season is over and they are trying to get rid of all of their stuff. They have really good prices then. Unless it is a Santa they are worth more money then the rest of the decorations.lol I will look at some of the Halloween stores when they open.
Good for Lachlan. He is going to be a good soccer player. It is good that he has found a sport that he likes. He will enjoy the sport for a long time. That is odd that they offer that class for Kendal and they may not when she gets in the other school. If they do not keep it up it will be hard for the kids to remember. That is one bad thing about all these different schools for these kids to go to. They are not all continuing what the other school was doing. They have that problem here and it really is not good for the kids. They also have different rules for each school. That is confusing also. I am just glad that I do not have kids in school right now. It would be a battle. The neighborhood that your daughter lives in sounds like a good one. It is nice that they look after each others kids. That makes the neighborhood safe for the kids and parents do not have to worry about it as much. It is a shame there are not more neighborhoods like that.
I hope that things go well for Greg at the dentist. That is terrible that the old dentist was just taking advantage of Greg. That is not right to do work that was not necessary. I bet you were happy when he switched to another dentist. You still have to be careful of that.
Have a good day.
