Hi Gail,
It will be nice just to get the shot and get it over with. I hope that we get it here soon. It is just taking too long to get them in our area. I think that all the doctors and nurses have gotten theirs. It took them awhile to get their shots.
I wonder where the idea from pretzel buns. They were really popular here for awhile but not as much now. We use to be able to get them at Costco but not any grocery stores. I know that Sam’s club is associated with Wal- Mart but I do not know what store Costco is associated with. Maybe they are not. I do not know how to find out.
It is hard to believe that Kendal and Owen are teens now. They have really been growing. Owen’s voice is getting deeper and he is growing a mustache. He is wanting to shave it off but they do not want him to because it will grow back thicker. So it will be interesting to see if he shaves or not.
The new pills are for my stomach. I hope that they figured out what is wrong with your stomach. Maybe it will be from stress from all this mess with covid. I think that it is hard not seeing the kids and not celebrating the holidays with family. We have been with our kids. So we do not miss them like we did at first.
Grayson was here today. He is just walking all over the place. He is getting to be a really good eater too. He likes to sing with Ron. They were singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. It was funny. Ron would sing the words and Grayson hums. It was really cute.
I think that I could learn to speak Mandarin if that is how it is done. lol I am so glad that you are still finding the memes to post. They are so funny. Well that is all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
I am not sure. It does not seem like the leg I broke is shorter but it could be. They did not say anything about it when they measured me at the doctor. They say that we shrink as we get older.
I have really been missing my mom here lately. I think with all that has been going on I would love to pick up the phone and talk to her about it. With Melissa splitting with Stephen and all that was going on with my leg. It is just hard not to be able to talk to her. I know that you feel the same way about Heather. We will get thru this and we will be fine. It is just hard when you are going thru this.
I really hate tax season. You have to get all that stuff together and hope that you don’t have to pay much for taxes this year. We pay enough taxes as it is. I better not get started on that.
Our weather has changed so much. It has been really nice outside today. It is supposed to be warmer tomorrow. Well that is all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
You did not offend me at all. We all have different opinions and we every right to express them. So do not ever think that you could hurt my feelings. I did not want to make you feel that way.
I have to go back to therapy and have them work on my balance. I need to have something done for that. I have the strength in my leg again just need to balance things out when I walk. I just hope they get this all worked out.
Well that is all from here. You did not make me feel bad. So do not think that. You do not need to send me an apology. Do not ever think that. I am so sorry that I made you feel that way. I understand how you feel right now with the loss of Heather. That is a hard thing to deal with.
Have a good night and stay safe.

Hi DD,
Glad to hear that you are doing ok. Did you have any trouble with the shots? I have heard that different things can happen after you get the shot. Like a really sore arm from where you got the shot or sick to to your stomach for a few days.
I do have a cane but have never used it in the house. I guess that I might have to if I fall again. I do take it with me if I go shopping or will be on my feet for very long. I hate taking it though it seems to get in the way.
Our snow is gone and we have not had any since. Our weather is getting too warm to worry about more snow. Now all we have to worry about is storms. I hate tornado weather it is the worse time of the year. I like the warmer weather and the fresh vegetables from the garden but that is about it.
Snowball is just really sorry for being naughty. She is just like a small child and sounds like she is a lot of company. You were lucky to find her and her turn out to be such a good cat. My daughter’s cat gets crazier all the time. I wish she would get a different one but she loves her cat. He does not like kids and he hisses at all of them. My granddaughter thought that was the noise cats made until she discovered it was just Her aunts cat.
I love the pictures that you posted they are so pretty. Thank-you for posting them.
Have a great day and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
It took me awhile to get back to you because I have been sick. The doctor gave me some new medicine to try so am hoping that this works. I have not signed up to get my shot yet. Not sure where to go for that. I am going to talk to someone about it at Walgreens. They should have information on it.
I do not listen to the news that often. I mostly watch the weather. If I hear about what is going on in the news Ron tells or my daughters. I quit listening when Ron start listening all the time and it was making him crabby.
I pray for this country every day. It is just hard to get used to this new administration. I am not a democrat as you all know. I do respect any person that holds the office that they deserve our respect no matter what party we are for.
I like the memorial you have for Heather. She would like it also. I have a lot of my mom’s statues that she had in her room. They are all Religious statues. She had one of Mary that I bought for her when I went on a trip when I first go out of High School. I could not believe that she still had it and remembered where she got it.
The stockings that you made for your friends are really nice. The one really did match her chair. It looks like you planned it that way. You are really talented.
Well that is all from here. Have a great day and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
I had not heard anything about why the church was against getting the shot from Johnson and Johnson. I di not know which of the shots that I will get but will get one of them.
Ron had to eat the soup because I would not fix anything else. Sometimes I will fix him a sandwich or open a can of soup but decided he can eat what I make or go hungry. I guess that I am getting grumpy.
Owen’s birthday is tomorrow and he turns 13. We are going over there to pick up diner and give hi his card. He is saving to get something for his computer so we will give him money and his mom is giving him money. So he will be able to get it himself.
I have never had bacon buns before. They sound good and something different. Is Brent’s girlfriend with him or did she stay is New Mexico? I hope they like where they live.
The picture of the dog with the blanket over his face makes me think of Grayson. Mandy sent me a picture of him with a bucket over his head. He did that to himself and thought it was really funny. She also sent a picture where he pulled it up and had a big grin on his face. They said he was just giggling with the bucket on his head.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
I just lost my balance when I fell in the kitchen. I feel like such a dummy falling like that. I was doing dishes but just loading the dish washer so not a lot water was used. I just am uncoordinated and fall easily. I have to go this month for a mammogram and bone density test. I am not looking forward to that.
I was not thinking dementia I just thought that he had a stroke and it messed with his speech. I did not mean anything bad when I said that. I was just concerned.
It is good that Gary got his shot. How long before you can get yours? I have not signed up yet but need to. Ron said that he is not going to get one. He does not trust it. My doctor was getting on to me for not having my shot yet. She also wants me to get checked for covid. I am not around anyone who has it or go out that much.
Your meal sounds really good. We had cooked cabbage and brisket today. He thought it was really good. I did not eat any because my stomach was giving me trouble today. I will try some of it tomorrow.
Well that is all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail
All our snow is gone. It has been raining here for a couple of days and then the sun came out. It has been warmer here also. You never know about March weather. We could have another snow storm or rain. If we get more snow I know that it will not be as much as what all of you get.
How is Brent doing? You have not said much about him lately. Did he get moved? I cannot remember where he moved to. My mind is going quickly I am getting so forgetful. My nephew moved to the state of Washington. He loves it there.
I do not which shot I am going to get. I guess it will be which ever one they have here. They were saying that the Catholic church does not want people to get the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. I am going to have to read what the reason was but will read about it later. I cannot imagine why they care which shot we get.
I missed your memes today. I think you have us spoiled when you do not post any we miss them. Read my post to Adele it has more on that about the President.
Have a good night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
I was watching the news on one of our local channels. I noticed that he was talking funny and seemed confused. Maybe I am reading him wrong but I use to work the elderly and I had to watch for things like that. If we noticed it we had to take noted and put it in their chart.
I am so glad to hear that your ankle is better. I thought that was funny wrapping cabbage on your joints. I could just picture all of us running around with cabbage leaves wrapped around our joints. I am not saying anything about Sue it is just a funny thinking about it. I wonder if they tried that out themselves before they printed it.
Your bread bread looks really good. The dinner that Bobby made sounds really good. I made a big pot of potato soup and have a lot left over. Ron did eat a bowl of it and that was it. Tomorrow I am making boiled cabbage with ham in it. It will be something different.
My leg is doing better but I need to get better balance. They are working on that at therapy. I fell in the kitchen the other night but did not break anything so I do not have brittle bones.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.
