Hi Gail,
I did get the answers as to what is going on with my stomach but I will still have problems. I do have pills to take when i feel nausea. There is nothing that will stop it unless I have surgery. They cannot guarantee that it would help so it is not worth having it done.
The kids will all be here Christmas. Melissa and the kids are moving back home with us. So it should be interesting. I am not sure if I can handle another teenager in this house. We already went thru that. lol
It will be nice if you get to see the kids for a little while over Christmas. Even if it is just to see them and give them their gifts. I wish that you could spend time with them and watch them open their gifts. It is a shame that the weather is getting that cold and you cannot stand outside and talk for awhile. The weather does not cooperate.
I like the tree with the little present under it. I wonder how they got that to stick in there. I am so glad that you keep finding and posting the memes. It is nice to have something to smile about.
Have a great night and stay safe.
Colleen

Hi Adele,
I like the stocking that you are making for Johnny. I like the snowman he looks so cheerful. That is nice that you are making one for Jonny. It is nice that you are getting made that quickly. It is nice that he will have one for Christmas like the rest of the family.
You really got a lot of snow. Have they cleared the streets enough that it is easy to get around? Once they get that done the snow is not as bad. The one thing that I do not like is sleet or freezing rain. Then it is impossible to get around.
I still miss Barbara. The last time that she e-mailed she wanted to know if I could recommend some exercises to help build up strength and that was the last time I heard from her until I heard she had passed. I miss her talking about her Colin.
I bought some of Davids cookies to fix for Christmas. I will not be out of the brace yet so it will just be easier. I got the ones with the sprinkles on them. I hope that they taste as good as they look.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi All,
I tried to post on here last night and lost the whole thing. It is so aggravating. I have no idea what happened. I have been having trouble with my stomach again. It just kind of hits when it wants to and I do not know what brings it on. I wish we could figure that out and maybe I could stop it from happening.
You are all really getting hit with snow. We have not had any at all. I wish we would get at least a dusting it always looks so pretty. We won’t get any here though there is none in the forecast.
Adele ,I have been praying for Steph and Johnny also. If they can work it out they should just do. They must mean something to each other or they wouldn’t keep getting back together.
DD,I feel the same way you do about the cards. I guess we have to try and find all the Christmas spirit we can. I have a feeling the next few years are really going to be rough .All we can do is pray. I hope that ou and Crit can spend some time together. Then it will not be so lonesome. We will just have to make due.
Gail, That is good Greg got the snow plow fixed. Maybe there will be too much snow and he won’t have to use it. I hope that we can see the star. That will be such a pretty star to see. We all need to see a star like that. Grayson is a little butter ball. He just smiles all the time. I hope he stays like that for the rest of his childhood. If he is he will have a lot easier life.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
I hope this works out with Johnny home .It would probably be better for the boys. I hope that they will all be there for Christmas so you can enjoy having them home with you. I will be praying for them
Those stockings are really cute. You are really good at making those stockings. I imagine that everyone will keep those forever. I still have the stockings that my mom made for me when I was a child. My kids all still have theirs.
Not a whole lot going on here. It is just really cold. I am glad that the rain has stopped. They say we have a chance of snow flurries but I do not think we will get any. They always say we are getting some but it goes around us most of the time.
That is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
These kids will not listen to what you try to tell them. So we just have to sit and watch them make their mistakes and hope they end up making the right decision. It is hard but I guess our parents had to do the same thing.
I do not know how many times you can get covid. I have not heard anything about how many times you can get this. They do not give out that type of information. We really need to get more information like that.
Thank-you for the prayers. She has got a job that is so much better then what she had. She works at wal-mart and makes better money and has a regular schedule. So she has more time with the baby and can get a regular babysitter.
I went to therapy again today. They really gave me a work out today. I was sore and still have exercises to do tonight. I am pedaling now also so that is a good thing.
I am glad that JJ is enjoying cooking. It will be fun to have him helping you cook. It is fun when the grands want to do things with us and learn new things. It has to be fun for him staying with you.
Well that is about all from here. I will say prayers for Steph. You have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
This is the first time that I done most of my shopping on line. Usually I go to the Mall or different stores to shop. I miss the black Friday shopping. It was fun to be out with all the shoppers and all the excitement. We never got into any of the fights that they had at Wal-Mart so that is probably why we had fun shopping. Usually we would be around people and they were friendly and if they knew where something was you were looking for they would tell you. I guess we were lucky.
That would be nice for this little boy to get to sledding and make his first snowman. It is fun to remember those days when our girls would go sledding and have so much fun. Sometimes I wish that we could go back to those days.
I am going to have to find out what is going on with Masked Singer. I hope we get that station back pretty soon. I really miss watching that show. I don’t know what the masked dancer will be like. I do not know that many dancers.
I wrote to Adele about the therapy. you can read about it there if you want to know. That is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
We have all bought extra for Grayson this year. So she does not have to worry about his Christmas this year. I plan on doing this as long as I can. I hope and prat that she finds a really nice guy that will be good to her and Grayson. He is always so happy and smiling. Even when you are correcting him he smiles. He sticks his hand in the vcr and gets shocked every time and does it again. He smiles and just keeps on.
It is good that JJ has you there for him. He has a place to go where everyone is getting on with their lives and have not forgotten Heather at the same time. It is hard but you are doing it for all the others. It is good you have Amanda and Bobby there to help you with JJ. It is good that he wants to cook with you and Amanda.
Steph needs to make up her mind before she drives him away for good. It is hard on her I am sure when she found he was with another woman but it was while they were separated. She can’t be upset they were not together if they were then I would not blame her. I am getting crabby and should mind my own business.
I started therapy on my leg. I could not believe how tired I was when she was done. She said that she will add more exercises every time I come to therapy. I have to go for 4 to 6 weeks. I did not want to have to do this for that long but if it helps me to get rid of the brace I will do it. On Friday she said that I will be able to quit using the walker and use a cane. I have to bring the cane with Friday so she can show me how to use it. and build strength in my leg.
Hopefully Tillie will come upstairs soon. Maybe she will now that it is getting closer to Christmas. She will want to eat with you Christmas Eve and day. I hope she does it.
Have a great night and stay safe.
Colleen
