Hi Everybody,
Well I guess that things will go back to normal or we will be a socialist country. I pray that we will all be okay and be safe. I really hope they do not shut the country down again. I do not think that we could survive it a second time.
Gail, I am surprise that Greg has not caught any of the minks with the camera. You have had a variety of animals around. I wonder what we would see around here if Ron set a camera up to capture all that is running around. I know onw thing we would see in the woods it would be skunks.
I have seen women in the store with green and blue streaks in their hair. By the time this is over they will wonder who came up with the strangest hair colors. The seniors or the teens. lol
Adele, I do not envy you having to go thru the mess that is going to be going on at your place. They took forever to get my floors in and they moved everything in the kitchen. They moved my island and broke it all apart. It was a mess. You are having professional put yours in. We had a professional and Ron and he is the one who tore my island apart. He should have let his nephew do it and not help.
2020 was such a bad year it has to get better it can’t get any worse with the deaths and the sickness. I just want everyone to be happy and for all the riots and trouble to stop.
I hope everyone has a great night and stay safe.
Colleen

Hi DD,
Sounds like you had a really nice NYE. It was nice that you got to spend time with friends and celebrate Diane’s birthday. That is really fantastic that woman who is 80 does not look it or act like it. She must have had a very active life.
It is never too late to wish everyone Happy New Year. We are always glad to hear it no matter when. We are just glad to be able to read it. It is nice to still have all of us here. All but our sweet Barbara .She is in a much nicer place now there is no covid and she will never be sick again.
We have ice and snow on the ground. You got our rain and we got your snow and sleet. Well I guess that it was meant for us. This weather has just been crazy.
I like the pictures that you posted. They are all really cute. I love the puppies and the kitten. They are cute playing with the ribbon. They really make you smile.
Have a great day and stay saf.
Colleen

Hi Gail.
I do not want to see dwts to go off the air but I guess it is time. I do not know that much about Tyra but she is just not a good host for that show. She is too busy getting her word in and not let the judges talk. She just is not good at this job.
I did not care for that show I Can See Your Voice. I am like you I do not understand how it works. So just quit watching it. I like Ken he is funny. I hope they find something for him. It is funny that he is judging the masked dancer also. Looks like he is going to be a professional judge on these shows.
That crab sounds really good. We have not had crab for a long time. I think the last time we had crab was on our anniversary and we really enjoyed it. They also had lobster tails with it. We have not been back to that restaurant since then. We will go back when the weather is better.
We had the ice storm yesterday and it got pretty bad. It is not supposed to get above freezing tomorrow so this ice will stick around for at least one more day. Then it is supposed to warm up. Hope you do not get it as bad as we did.
Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
I like the animals in all the pictures. They all have really cute crowns. That is a cute way to welcome in the New Year. I will watch the Masked Dancer a couple more times to see if I like it any better. It may have just been the first one. I really hope that the masked singer comes back on. I really like that show.
That is about all from here. We are spending the New Year alone so that will be nice ,Melissa went to Danyielle’s for a couple of days. So we will have time alone.
Have a great night and stay safe. Hope that your weather is better then ours.

Hi Gail,
It is not bad having the kids here. They do not bother me. They go off and do their own thing and we really do not bother each other. Ethan stays in his room and hardly ever comes out. He is a typical teenager. Kaylee plays with her tablet and finds ways to keep busy.
Have you watched the masked dancer yet? I am not sure what I think of it. I really was not impressed with the dancing .I did not see anyone that I thought was all that good. I just hope that it gets better. Is the masked singer coming back on ? We missed the last couple of shows when they took the channels off.
We have to go to Costco and pick up a few things. We need to get more toilet paper and paper towels .We go thru a lot more since the kids moved home. We are getting things that we are using more of.
We had sleet this morning and then it quit. I did not go to therapy I was worried that the roads would be slick. I think that accident effected me more then I thought.
That is scary to see foot prints like that in the yard. I hope that your camera will catch what ever it is. At least on camera. We did have a bear around here a while ago . We could see tracks and where he was scratching on a tree.
Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Everybody,
We had a good Christmas. The kids and grand kids all came for dinner. It was good to spend the day with them. We bought that pac man game from QVC
and the kids had a really good time playing with that. They played with it all day and they seemed to take turns with it and no fighting. I was glad of that. It was nice to have them all doing something together.
Gail I do not see how you held back from crying. It would be hard not to cry with just seei ng the kids for just a few minutes. I am glad that you got to zoom with them and watch them open their gifts. At least you got to do that.
Adele, that plate was really nice. I bet it really made Tillie smile when she saw it. Sorry that no one was there for Christmas day but you did get to see some of them on Christmas Eve. Did you het to see Aizen and JJ for Christmas? Some times we just have to break down. It sure does make us feel better.
DD I am glad that you and Critt had Christmas dinner together. It is nice to be with someone on Christmas. I am sorry to hear that your friends moved and you could not spend time with them.
Sue, I am sorry that you spent the day alone. Your meal sounds really good.
I hope everyone has a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
It certainly has been a lot noisier since they came home. The other girls came over to see her Wednesday night and we had a houseful. I guess that it will be like that now that she is home and everyone is trying to show support.
I will not have to wear the brace tomorrow so that will be nice. I just have to be careful not and not get tired out. I will have to use a cane when I go to the store or anywhere else until we get the leg strong enough.
I hope that you and Greg have a nice day. Maybe you will get to talk to the kids over the computer. Do you have skype? We do not have to use it this year we will all be here. I cannot wait.
Well that is all from here. Have a Merry Christmas stay safe.

Hi Adele,
Your cookies look really good. I did not make any not even the ones I bought from David’s. The kids went to Amanda’s and baked cookies and we just stayed home. I went to therapy and they took the brace off. I am done wearing that thing. That was my biggest Christmas presents .I go back to the doctor and see what he says. I do not go until the 14th of January.
I tried to send you an E Christmas card but it came back to me. I do not know why I have trouble sending them to you and DD. I tried a second time and will see if it goes thru.
I hope you have a great Christmas and you get to see your grands. Have a great night and stay safe.
