Hi Adele,
Where do you buy that shampoo? I do not think that I have seen it anywhere. I will try it if it works. Does it help with regrowth? I sure could use that also.
They are saying we are supposed to get snow tomorrow. We will see if they are right this time. I hope that we do not get as a lot of rain again. We got enough of that last time. It is nice that you have Bobby there to help with shoveling the snow.
Have a great day and sty safe.

Hi Gail,
That is the way it goes. You finally got your truck going and it has to be towed. I guess that it was the one with snow shovel. All We got was rain and no snow. We did have a few flurries but nothing to talk about.
I wish both of the girls would get their driver license and quit depending on other people. They have got to be more independent. Especially since she has a son. It is like they do not want to grow up and be adults. My daughter always tried to keep them home with her and now they cannot do anything for themselves. It is sad.
Your soup sounds really good. I am thinking about making a big pot of potato soup. Melissa and the kids like it Ron is the only one that doesn’t. It is really supposed to be cold next week we will see if they got it right or not.
I know our girls could not wait until they got their license. We went thru teaching all three and it was scary. Mandy always liked to drive down the middle of the road and Brook is a lot like her.
I was 18 when I got my license. My dad was not a good instructor. When I wanted to get my license a guy I worked with let me use his car and then I just told my parents that I had it. I think that my dad was glad that I got it on my own and he did not have to go thru it again.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe. Have fun playing in the snow. I bet that your grands are.

Hi Adele,
It was strange we got the rain and all of you got the snow. It was warm here for awhile and now it is cooling down again. There is not elling what is caused the rain except it got a little warmer here. Now it is cooling down and we will either get snow or freezing rain. We never know for sure what we are going to get. I may just pass us by altogether.
Yes Kylie got her job back. They said that they made a mistake. They cannot keep help right now so they did make a mistake. I just wish that she would get her license and a car and take herself to work. Then she would be able to take her self and not depend on others.
It is hard to judge how short that you should get your hair cut. I am losing my hair also and if she cuts it too short it will not cover my bald spot. It is just not fair that we get chin hairs and we are losing the hair on our scalp. I wish that there was a way to stop it.
Boys can say some really dumb things but then he can be so caring. It is hard to figure boys out.
Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
The place where Kylie worked called her back later that evening and told her that they want her to come back. I guess they were upset because they had other call outs that day. So I guess they were upset that she could not come in.
It will be nice to if JJ will get his hair cut but he is a boy and they always give you trouble. My grandsons are like that and they drive me crazy. They also like to make stupid comments and drive me crazy.
Our snow is all gone. We have had rain all day and now the snow is gone. So we are getting the rain and you are getting the snow. I am not sure what is worse. Our yard is full of mud puddles. I really hope that this dries up quickly we do not need all that mud. It is cold here but not any where near how cold it is there. This crazy weather.
Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
That is really nice that you can get the hair dresser to come to your house. Who all gets there home done when she comes? It is really nice for Tillie she does not have to get out of the house in this cold weather.
That is a lot of snow. I hope that they are wrong or if it has to snow I hope that it is not that much. That is too much snow for anyone. It makes our 2 inches look like nothing. They had our roads cleared off this time so we did not have to worry about going anywhere. Usually our road is one of the last roads to be cleared.
I know what you mean. By now my leg should be fine and I should be getting around really well. I hope that they can help me get my balance back so I can walk up and down steps that do not have a railing. It really gets tiring to have to be so careful every where I go.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great day and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
We hear from our cousins when one of them dies. Well we did when my mom was still living but we have not heard from any of them since mom’s funeral. It is not a great time to get together then. The one cousin that called me when something happened has died so that took care of that.
Brook does work at Wal- Mart. They have had her working all over the store. She really likes it and they give her a better schedule there then they did at Kentucky fired. We do not buy chicken from there anymore because of some of the things that go on there. It is nothing about the food it is the people that work there. Kylie just lost her job because she could never find a ride. Instead of calling and setting up here rides for the week she would call right before she had to be there. We tried to tell her to get her license and a car and she would not have to worry about depending on other people. She would not listen and she asked for a ride when no one was able to take her and they let her go. Ethan is in High School he is a freshman. He does not like taking classes on the computer but Melissa will not put him in school here. She wants to wait until she finds a permanent place to live.
Your new washer sounds really nice. Those things are heavy. I really like the front load a lot better then the top load. I hope you really like your new machine.
Well that is all from here Have a great night and stay safe

Hi Adele,
Your short ribs look really good. My daughter has been cooking here. She really turned out to be a good cook. She always liked to cook when she was younger. My oldest daughter is not a very good cook she never did like to cook and sometimes it shows.
That is nice that she does at least come up once in awhile. It is getting hard for her to come upstairs. Can you go downstairs to be with her or is it too hard for you also. It is hard to know what to do.
We had two inches the other day. It was not bad The roads are clear and we did not have any sleet under the snow. We are supposed to have sleet and freezing rain here one day next week. I hope that they are wrong. We were not supposed to get the snow but we did so we stand a fifty fifty chance..
I still have been going to therapy. They are trying to help me get my balance back again. I am getting to where I have to hold on to things to keep from falling. Especially since I broke that bone in my leg. I am hoping that I can get it back so things can go back to normal.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
My sisters kids were all a lot older then my girls. They are friends with my oldest sisters kids but they are a lot older but they talk more now. If they come to St .Louis they call the girls and meet for dinner but they all live too far away. One lives in California and the other two live in the state of Washington. So they do not see each very much.
That is really a good idea to have the kissing cousins club. I do not see any of my cousins any more. We just all kind of lost touch with each other. It is really a shame. It happens though. It would be nice if we could all be able to see each other like we did when we were kids. It seems like when our grandparents were alive we all saw each other but when they were gone it seems like our parents all went their separate ways. It is kind of sad.
That is strange that it happened to Piper’s teeth. I hope that is the last time it happens. All kinds of things can happen to kids teeth. These kids are going thru so many different things then we went thru.
We still have snow on the ground here. We only have two inches not as much as you have. We are supposed to have frozen rain and sleet one day next week unless. they are wrong again.
Well that is all from here. We are still enjoying all the memes that you are sending. They are so funny. I really like the one with the glitter. Have a great day and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
I am not sure that storm we had was connected to the one in Arkansas. We have snow on the ground right now. It snowed here just about all day long. It was really pretty and the ground is covered and the trees. I love the snow but have not been out in it yet. Kaylee went out and played in the snow for a little while.
The glass case that you made for Tillie is really pretty. You are a very talented person. How is Tillie doing? Is she coming upstairs more now or is she staying in her room. I hope she comes up for her meals and is around all of you.
You always get a lot more snow then we do. It is really prtty when it first falls and no one walks on it. We have to catch it right after it falls or the dogs have walked thru it.
Arthritis really causes a lot of pain. It is horrible because it can hurt every joint in your body. It seems like the older we get the more places it decides to strike. I hope your ankles get better soon.
There is not a lot going on here. Have a great night and stay safe.
