Hi Gail,
It just seems like the stores are not enforcing the rules. They are social distancing so that is good but they should wear a mask. Everyone that works wear a mask so they are obeying the rules that way.
If we go into the hospital they take out temps and when I got my flu shot they took it then also. They ask all types of questions when you go to the doctors office but do not take your temp until we get into the exam room.
That is so cute that Piper wrote you a letter. It makes you feel good to know that they are thinking of you. That is how I feel when Aliza sends me a text. It will be fun when she learns to spell.
Kaylee is starting to do gymnastics. Melissa sent me a video of her walking on the balance beam and she was doing really good. I have to figure out how to enlarge it because it was really tiny and I could hardly see her face. She had a great time she loves gymnastics and has wanted to join a class for a long time. They are going to be stationed where they are for awhile. Since Ethan is going into high school they can stay there until he graduates. That is really nice he won’t have to transfer in the middle of his high school years.
How are all your grands doing? Are they still doing school work on the computer? I hope that they are getting to do more thing now and not just trapped at the house all the time.
Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
You will have to think of ways to make it fun for him to come to your house. He has to get use to being there. He is too young to feel like this. I think with you talking to him and making him feel more like things will be okay he will get better. It is so hard on young kids like that.
It is hard having to miss all the different things that are going on right now. We have not gone to funerals or different places where there are people that we do not know. I will go to the store because we have to but I do keep my distance. We make a list and get in and out right away. We use hand sanitizer before we go in clean the cart handles and use hand sanitizer when we come out. We wipe everything down when we get home. That is all we can do. We do not get deliveries here. We live too far out.
I got my flu shot and my arm is really sore. I felt a little down under the weather today so did not do much. My granddaughter lost her job so she is going to come here and clean. She needs money so she can feed and care for her baby.
I hope that your back is better and you are doing okay. Have a good night and stay safe.

Hi DD,
That is so cute that Snowball is laying on your chest. I guess that it takes some cats awhile to warm up like that. She sounds like she is really independent. She is such a pretty cat. That is cool that she listens to you and comes out of the bedroom with you when you tell her too.
I really like all the pictures you posted. They are so pretty and calm looking. It would be fun to go to a barn dance like they had in the olden days. When they show them on tv they always look like fun. Everybody comes and enjoys themselves. They all bring really good food to that.
Our weather did the same thing. It got cold and then it warmed up and now it is cooling down again. I hope that it stays cold now and does not warm up again. You never know how to dress.
Did you find out why the alarms went off. Those things are so loud. Even the ones they have in homes. I guess they have to be or people would sleep thru it.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
That is rough when your back hurts that bad. I wonder if the weather has anything with your back being so sore. If it rains here my back hurts a lot. It is just so easy to throw your back out. You can just turn wrong and hurt your back.
Just take care of yourself and do not do very much.

Hi Gail,
Did you hear about the couple in Colorado that would not leave their home and died in that fire? I could not believe that they would not leave. They had to know that the fires were really bad and they would not make it out. They were in their 80’s. I do not understand why but I guess they figured that they would not live much longer. I cannot imagine how their family feels about them doing this. I feel so sorry for them.
I have not checked to see if DWTS will be on at their regular time or not. I will have to check and see. They may have done the same thing here since their are a lot of Bear fans here.
I am glad that you had eye drops and are doing the compresses. I have never had one so do not know what they are like. Do they effect your eye sight? That would make it rough. Hopefully you will get rid of it soon.
Ron went to Wal Mart today and it was crowded and he said hardly anybody was wearing a mask. They have someone checking at the door for awhile and would say something if you did not have a mask on. They were also keeping track of how many people were in the store but they are not doing that anymore either. I do not understand why they quit. They said that people were complaining about it and so they stopped.
Sounds like you and Greg enjoyed building your house. That is good that it went so well. That is all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
We like living with all the trees around us. I guess that is why everyone lives in different type of place. We did live in town when we were in Rockford. Cherry Vale Mall was there. It was the place to shop and they had a lot of the nicer houses there. We had found a house there and had decided to put an offer on it then Ron’s mom got really sick and we move3d back to Missouri.
If they would turn the crowd noise down and stop Tyra from talking so much it would be nice. Now she is showing the dancers different moves. Was she ever a dancer?
I could not live in a town again either. I like my privacy. We can got out in our pj’s and feed the dogs and no one can see us. There are no houses around us.
I am sorry that you are having problems with your eye. I hope that you can get something for it and it clears up. This is the time of year for all of that. I have been coughing and my eyes are watering from allergies. I get this every spring and fall. It is bad until it gets cold then it eases. It is not bad when it is really hot.
Well that is aout all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
I am sorry that your back is giving you so much trouble. I hope that you can get in touch with a doctor and get something to help ease the pain. I understand why you cannot type with your back like that.
We are going to try to keep the holidays as normal as we can. The kids really need it and so do we. We do not go out as much as we use to. I have been doing some Christmas shopping just to get it all done. There are not as many people in the store right now so it works out well. I am trying to get things that the kids will not buy for themselves.
I just wish that Tyra would quit talking as much as she does and not try to show the contestants how to dance. She is the host not one of the dancers. I just do not care for her. I have tried.
That is all from here. I hope your back gets better. Stay safe.

Hi DD,
Your weather sounds like ours. One day it is warm and then it gets cold. It is supposed to be warm tomorrow and then cool back down again. We finally got some rain and we really needed it.
I really like all the pictures that you send They are always so pretty and make me smile. I love the one with the puppies in the sled they are so cute. I cannot imagine how hard it is to keep them clean. I could not find a picture of a pumpkin bird feeder. Was it in the pictures or something Gail posted. I hope she will tell us where she saw it. Never mind I found it. I don’t know how I missed it. It is cute. It is on the post that you did the 17th October.
I like the way you decorated your door. Do they give away prizes or ribbons for the best decorated door? If they do you should win it is really cute. Will you go and look at other doors that are decorated or just on your floor?
That was strange the way your post was on here the other day. Did you send it in two parts on purpose or did that just happen This site is getting strange.
Did you feel the after effects of the quake they had in Alaska the other day? I hope they did not have a lot of damage. I just heard that they had one but that was all. Well that is all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
It is a little early for snow but the weather has been cold. We are finally getting some rain. It was really getting dry here. This might be the year that we get a good snow. I am really wanting a good snow here.
I really do not like to have to miss the Masked Singer tonight. They were bringing out the next group tonight. I cannot remember what characters they are supposed to be. My mind id going quickly.
It is hard to find to rent a place when you have animals. I would hate to have to rent again. I wonder if we could after living in our own place for so many years. I hope they find a place and they like living there.
It is hard to pick the people that should go home on dwts. They are all pretty good and improving every week. I told the two that I like in Adele’s post. I cannot remember their names. I think that I need to take ones of those pills that help with your memory. I need something.
I like all the memes that you are posting. I like the new test for men that was funny. I bet a man would run out of that room as fast as they can. They cannot stand half of the things we have to go thru.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great day and stay safe.
Colleen
