Hi Everybody,
Gail the guitar that Greg is really pretty. He is so good at making them. Did you say if he was going to sell that one or keep it? He could really make good money making them he really is very talented.
The kids do not want to be near their dad. She really likes living in Tennessee but I think that it is a mistake. Melissa and Stephen cannot be in the same room without arguing. The kids knew the break up was coming.
Adele I am sorry about your ankle. I hope that it is starting to get better. You really have had a lot of trouble with gout this year. I hope you can get your covid shot soon. I will see my doctor Monday and she should tell me where to get my shot or put me on a list.
Have you been watching the president? He is not acting right. I hope he did not have a stroke. He cannot read the prompter or remember the numbers of covid cases here in the states. He mis speaks and is having all types of problems. I think that we all need to pray for him.
Are any of you getting that storm that they have been talking. I heard there was one coming but did not hear where it was going to hit. It is not supposed to come anywhere near us.
Well that is about all from here. I hope you all have a great night and stay safe.
Colleen

Hi Gail,
Kaylee did have fun in the snow. She is funny. She did not try to get anyone to go out with her she played with the dogs. I also thought she would try and build a snowman but she didn’t.
Melissa got her old job back in Tennessee so she is thinking of moving back to Cookeville. She thinks she found a house but she will be so far away from the family. If she has any problems it will not be easy to get to her. I am not sure how I feel about her moving back. She really likes Tennessee and says it is a really good place to live.
I cannot believe that they were getting bills for $1,000.00. They do not have electric but they got those large bills anyway. That was a terrible thing to do to those people. They have enough problems without them doing things like that to them.
This is stupid to think that covid is not real. It is real we just have to learn how to deal with it. We also need to find a way to keep from getting it. Life has to go on and we need to o on.
Grayson is 1 already. It is hard to believe that he is that old already and walking all over the place. They sent me a picture of him the other day with a bucket over his head. They said that he was giggling and then he pulled the bucket up and was just grinning. He is going to be a little character when he gets bigger.
It is good that all your grands are going back to school. It will be nice for them to with the other kids and socializing again. Even if they cannot get near each other they will still be able to see each other and talk. They need that I think.
We are warming up here also. A lot of our snow has melted but we still have enough that the ground is covered. The only place that we can see grass is where Ron used the tractor to remove some of the snow.
Well that is all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Everybody,
I also have dish and am really happy with them. We do not lose connection like we use to when it storms or if we have snow. I think that we signed a contract a long time ago but have not signed another one. Even when we changed to the hopper. We have been costumers long enough that they did not ask us to. I think that we have had them for about as long as you have Gail. We have enough channels without HBO. I really like the family package and we get a lot of channels that we can all watch.
Adele, Melissa and the kids are in Tennessee. It was funny because she was worried about our weather and they had an ice storm there and could not get back. I think that it is better there but am not sure. Kaylee played in the snow twice while she was here and then they left before it got too cold and all the deep snow.
I do feel bad about those poor people in Texas. I do not see how they stood all that cold and no heat. Being without water is not good either. I cannot believe all the bad things that happened during this storm. They had a family here that have not had heat because the gas company has not delivered it. It seems like they should have a better system then what we have.
Gail, I really like the memes that you have sent. Especially the one about the fried chicken. I have had days like that myself. I am glad that you send those and give us a good laugh.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.
Colleen
p.s. I am glad that Tillies shot has been okay.

Hi Everyone,
Sounds like we all got a lot of snow. We have 8inches on the ground here. I think that we were luckier then a lot of places. We did not think that it was going to stop snowing. I guess that we had is headed your way Adele and Gail you may have already got the snow. It kind of reminded of when we lived in Rockford.
I am glad that you got a clean bill of health. It is a worry when they say there is something wrong with your blood pressure and heart. Especially at our age. Did they figure out what was wrong with your stomach? Maybe it was just one of those things that cannot be explained. I would not have losed weight if I didn’t get sick. I do not suggest losing it that way.
I saw that on TV about the turtles. I do not see how they are going to take care of them there were so many of them. I hope that they will survive until they put them back in the water. It was nice that they went and picked all of them up and saved them. That is crazy how cold it got in Texas.
Adele your bread looked really good. I use to have a bread machine but it quit working so have not made fresh bread for a long time. I love to eat hot bread with butter out of those machines. I ordered a pair of those leggings from Quacker. When I ordered them they were in stock then I got an e-mail that they were on wait list and now they said it has shipped. I do not know what is going on with the people that are doing the orders. It is driving me crazy. I also ordered a pair of boots and it showed that they were delivered but I have not idea where. We have been looking all over the place for them. Will have to call the Q tomorrow and let them know that I did not get them.
Well I hope that I did not miss a post. I have to go we are almost out of time on here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
You really had a rough week-end. Did they send you to a hospital in Rockford? They use to have really good hospitals there. I hope that you are feeling better and not having all the pain. That is one thing that they like to give out to people in the ER is medicine. They do take their time getting into see the doctor. When they are done they make you wait for a long time before they do anything. Riding in an ambulance is not fun. I fell asleep on my way to the hospital when they transported me from the accident. They would not let Ron go with me because of the covid so he had to go home and wait for them to call him to come and get me.
I will say prayers for you. I hope the doctors figure all of this out.
Well that is all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
I always thought that if you did not want someone to get into office again that you run someone better against them and let the people decide. I think that we can decide for ourselves what we want and do not need the government telling us what to do.
Ever since we started talking about snowmen that song do you want to build a snowman from the movie Frozen. I do not know how many times we watched that movie with the grands and that song always sticks in my head. At least it is from a good movie.
How are your grands doing? Have they called you recently to see how you are doing? I have not received a text from Aliza lately guess that I will have to text her. We see our kids a lot right now because of Melissa living here and the kids wanting to see each other.
Not a whole lot going on here. Ethan and I are watching Second Hand Lions. It is funny he never comes in and watches TV with us. He usually sits in his room and listen to his radio.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
QVC is not showing good shows like they use to. It has been boring and many interesting things to watch. I have not been watching it very much here lately. I wish that they would have more Quacker shows and just better shows.
How are the kids doing? Is JJ still staying with you still? It is nice if he is. I think young kids make us feel younger. They have so much energy and make us laugh. Kaylee is always giggling over silly things. Ethan is more serious. He is also at the age where he knows everything and he likes to argue. It reminds me how it was to have kids at their ages.
I like you hair cut. It is really cute. The hoodie you have on looked nice and cozy. It is going to get really cold here this week-end so will need sweaters and sweatshirts to keep warm.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay sae.

Hi Everyone,
I am a little confused about this impeachment stuff. How can they do it to someone that is not a president or hold office of any type. I thought if they have something criminal against him they have to take him to civil court. I think that is in our constitution. He is out of office and so lets just gone and quit wasting tax payers money. Start taking care of the country.
I miss all the cute things that Quacker use to have. Do you remember the sweaters that use to light up? I have the butterfly sweater and I really love it. There was also the one for Christmas that had the lights that would light up. There so many tops that they use to have.
DD I love the picture of Snowball. He is such a pretty cat. It looks like he has a handlebar mustache. She is a lot of company for you. Hoe is Critt doing? Will you two have a Valentines dinner this year. I thought might since they will not have anything going on in the community room. That is nice that you can get your shots right there at home and not have to go to the doctor.
Gail, the school down here did not have drivers ed for a long time and when they started the classes were full so it was hard to get the kids in them. I am not sure they even offered them in Bismarck school where Brook went. She will have to take private lessons. Did you build a snowman or did you just stay in the house where it was warm? I would have stayed in the house where it is warm but that may change with Kaylee here. I may have to go out with her if we ever get enough snow.
That is like a man to park their trucks in the wrong place. Ron would do the same thing. Why don’t they just park in the driveway like we do. I never park off in the yard anywhere. Men never learn.
Well that is all from here. Have a great day and stay safe.
Adele I hope that things are better where you are at and the snow is all melted. I know that it isn’t because I heard that you had another snow storm up that way. I hope that you stay safe and do not go out unless necessary.
I will sign off again
Colleen
