Hi Adele,
When we went to Brook’s and looked at the babies it did not look white. So he was okay. He has two teeth on the bottom and is getting two on top. The top front teeth. He kept sucking his upper lip into his mouth and sucking on it. The poor little guy. Sonny sounds like he is having trouble also. This is the worse time for them. I hope that they get easier as they get more in.
We put the bleach and stuff that you said to try. we will see tomorrow if it works. I am ready to give up. We have been trying and trying all summer and not being very successful. We may have to empty it out and put new water in it.
That is cool that you can tell if a woman is pregnant by their face. Is it just your family or can you tell with other people also? I find that interesting. It will be interesting to see if you are right or not.
You have really been busy cleaning. That is funny that you found all those swiffer pads in the bottom of the closet. It is hard to find things sometimes its especially hard when there are two people putting things away. At least you found them again.
My packages have been late also. Everything QVC sends me is starting to go to a post office 60 miles away from us. They use to send them to a place called Earth City and we would get them right away. It is crazy.
That was nice of your friend to buy you an Angel for your garden. It sounds really pretty. I like Angels they make such pretty ones and have such kind faces.
Do they know what they are going to do with the kids for school this year? They have not decided for the kids that live in our area but they have for the kids in Tennessee. It will be interesting to see how they handle all of this.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.

Hi Gail,
Brook is really doing a good job. We think that she will succeed if she keeps up with what she is doing right now. We told we would help her with the baby while she is in school. So she will have a lot of help. He is a big boy and will be hard to carry around. I am hoping that he will be crawling and trying to stand. He is such a little doll.
The kids in Tennessee will go back to school but it is up to the parents if they send them. They can chose not to and home school them. Kaylee tried to wear a mask around the house all day and go out side and play. She could not stand to wear the mask like that. So she will stay home the first semester and try again second semester. I do not know how they are going to get those kids wear a mask all day. They none of them really like to wear them. It is uncomfortable and hot if they are outside playing. The only time they can take them off is when they eat lunch. Ethan will go to school he is older and it does not bother him to wear the mask. So he will be fine. He will be in high school.
Melissa gets kidney stones. She has had them blasted and this last time they put stents in to open them up so the stone would pass. She was really in a lot of pain until they took the stents out. I am not sure how many times they can do that. I feel sorry for Greg he will have a lot of pain. I can remember how bad Melissa use to feel.
I will be saying an extra prayer for him tonight. Have a good night.

Hi Gail,
I am proud of her she is doing pretty good with Grayson. It is just sad that she has to do this at such a young age. She wasn’t ready for all this. I just hope that she goes thru with going to college and getting her degree. She is so smart. She was just made a manager at the place where she works. So she can do really good at anything she tries. She works at Kentucky Fried Chicken.
They took Grayson to the doctor the other day and he weighs 18 pounds. He is so cute and smiles all the time until last night. It was hard to get him to smile but he finally did.
i will wash them and see if that gets rid of the smell. I guess that I was just really cranky last night. We had a long day and I was ready to go to sleep. I really hat to see them doing this. They should have kept enough people to keep things going. They are still laying people off and that is sad. I cannot figure out why they have a channel that just shows reruns of shows from the main channel. What a waste.
Not a lot going on here today. How are your kids and grand kids doing? I hope that Brent is moved into his home now.
Have a good night.

Hi Gail,
It is a shame that they will not be able to have a concert this year. They are really good and help a lot of charities out when they hold their concert. I wonder if they will be able to do the event for the kids with cancer. The Polar Express I think it was. It will be missed if they cannot have it.
I cannot believe that Antonella did not have a lot of sales She always said such good things about the products. If they are not selling as much it is because of the times. The hosts do not act as happy as they use to. It must be hard to have to worry that you may be fired at any time. It is just sad that they have done this to themselves. QVC not the hosts.
I have not been able to read all that I want to. It seems like we are always doing other things. We have been watching too much television also. We watch all the old tv shows. Some of them are so good and it is fun to watch some of the old stars.
Did you order the TSV on Q2 the other day? It was dream jeans and they are supposed to be a new kind. Well I washed the light color and they came today and they have a horrible smell. I cannot figure out what it is. I tried to call QVC and see if they had any other complaints they would not take the call. They were too busy and just kept sending me back to the automated system. I guess if they do not have the time to help their customers then I am not sure that I want to buy from them anymore. They are just putting themselves out of business. I do not mind being pit on hold and having to wait or be told to call at a certain time that I would understand. That was not what I expected to have happen.
I guess I am just getting cranky. Being at home all the time is getting to me. Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and take care.

Hi Adele,
Everyone is fine here. We had storms last night and I had to get off here. The electric went off for a few seconds so of course it went off long enough to turn the computer off. I do not like it when it storms like that.
We saw the baby tonight. Brooklin called and wanted me to take her and the baby to the emergency room. She was telling me how sick the baby was so we went over there to check it all out. Well she said that his tongue was all white and she could not get it to go away. She said that he had a raspy voice but forgot to say that he had been crying really hard and screamed. So I checked him out and told her the reason that he was crying and screaming is because he is cutting teeth. He has two on the bottom and is cutting some on top. I explained that he will get kind of raspy when he has been crying like that. She was so cute she was so worried about Grayson and just thought that he was so sick. She was just too young to have a child and is not ready for all of this. She is a really good mom because she was just so worried just has not been around babies that much so now it is a real learning experience.
That is so nice that you are going to be a great grandma again.Is Marrissa excited about the baby? They are going to be really close together but they will be good friends as they are growing up.
The pool is still not good enough to swim in. I am going to try the bleach and baking soda tomorrow and see if it helps. I wish that we could get it clear. If this does not work out we are just going to drain it and call it quits.
Well that is about all from here. That was a lot of cards to fill out. It shows that Heather was well loved. I am glad that the healing process is finally starting. Just take care of yourself.

Hi Gail,
I listened to that tape of Greg and his group. It was really good and thy have such good voices. They sound just like professionals. They are better then some groups that are out there.
It would be nice if we could get a break here. It is hot and humid. It is raining here and we had storms but I think that they are almost over. Well wrong again it is thundering again. What a crazy night.
I cannot figure out why they let Antonella go. She was always and smiling and always seemed to be having a good time doing her job. I am wondering if QVC bit off more then they can chew. They also have a holiday channel. I have not watched it yet but I see it on the top page to look to see what they sell.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night.

Hi Everybody,
I have been having computer problems. It was running so slow and then it would just shut down. It is working now so hope I do not have any more trouble.Computers are a pain.
Adele the flowers that you had for Heather’e grave are beautiful. I hope that you can all start mending now that all of that is done. The girls were really brave to do that. They really loved their mom and wanted to caret out her wishes. The tomatoes and cheese and basil sounds really good. I am going to have to try it. How are you feeling? I hope you are feeling a lot better. This weather has been so miserable and hot. It seems like if it rains the humidity goes up really high. You go outside and the air is so thick you can hardly breathe.
DD, It sounds like you state is a mess right now. I hope they get this under control soon. That is so cute that Snowball goes to visit Critt. I guess even animals like to go visiting. It is funny that he goes right into Critt’s apartment.
Gail. The memes are so funny. We all need a good laugh right now. I just pray that all this stops. Well at least he hears the fish and not some imaginary animals calling. He is funny. That is so nice that you are getting to see the concerts. The ice cream bars are a good idea. They sure taste good. I cannot believe all hosts that are being let go from the Q. Antonella was a favorite of mins also. She was so good on the quacker shows. She always had such a good time on there and cooking shows. I cannot believe that she was one to leave. She always seemed to have a good time.I never could figure out why she did not do more of the cooking shows she loved to cook and had some good recipes.
Well that is about all from here. I have a lot of reading to do and catching up. I hope all of you have a great day.

Hi Barbara,
I cannot imagine having poison ivy when it is so hot. That has to be uncomfortable. Poor Jerry hope he gets rid of it soon. My mom use to have to get shots when she had she would get it so bad.
I have started shopping for next year. I have gifts for my sister-in-laws, my sister and my great grand son. I may pick up a couple of outfits for him but am not sure. I have a little something for my youngest grand daughter but will wait for a little while and then buy her more. The two youngest ones have birthday’s in January. So will get their birthday gifts also.I have to start early we have so many to buy for.
Tell Jerry we said Happy Birthday. It sounds like he had a nice day. That was so nice that Lisa bought a cake for the occasion. I bet he will think of places to wear it. That was a good gift.
Our little one is rolling all over the place. He is saying mama. He says it really plain you can understand him. They do not let him lay on the floor long enough to start to crawl. He was trying when he was here but then they quit putting him on the floor. So when he comes here we will put him on the floor and see if he will crawl.
Not much else is going on here. It has been boring. We let you go Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
I would not like to run into a beaver on the road. Those animals are mean when they want to be. Racoons can really be mean. We found a little one when we were kids and we put it in a cage. It was fine while it was little but once it got big it really got mean. My dad had to let it out of the cage because they did not want us to get near it. He warned us not to ever take an animal like that and try to make a pet of it. So we never did it again. I guess that we were not that bright when we were kids. lol
I remember the chicken pox. Did you ever have them? I was covered with them and and even had one in my mouth. They were miserable and they itch so much. Did you have the measles? I had those also and had to stay in a dark room the only thing I have not had is the mumps.
Did you hear why they got fired? I cannot believe that they would do that they are really good on there. I cannot imagine who would take their place and be as good as they are. They always have to ruin these shows. It will be interesting to see them social distance and dance. That could be really interesting. I wonder if they will do the Mexican hat dance. Can you see couple dancing around a hat.
well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.
