Hi ladies,
Sounds like everyone had a fun day. Gail sounds like you had a good visit with Brent and his family. That sounds like a fun day playing games after dinner. We do not play games anymore because we have the two little ones that cannot play the games. It is hard to fin the ones that want to entertain the little ones when the rest of us are playing games. So we kind of gave that up for a year or two. Unless we play candy cane with Grayson and then just worry about Nova. That was fun getting to take them to a hockey game. It is hard to believe that they had never been to a hockey game. I guess that not everyone is sports minded. If we did not go to professional games we went to watch high school teams or college. It must have been a great time for Greg and Brent to do things together again.
Adele it sounds like you had a nice Thanks-giving. It was nice that so many showed up. Maybe you can find someone to help with the out door decorations .Maybe you can get someone to put up a couple of the decorations outside. Maybe your favorite ones. This will all work out. I know when mom died I did not feel like decorating but the kids changed my mind. I did not do as much but am doing better now. Just do not stop it will make things worse. Maybe Bobby will change his mind and put a couple out for you. I hope that JJ makes the basket ball team. It will be fun for him He is really growing up.
They finally had the funeral mass for my brother. I was glad to have it over with. It was a nice service. His fraternity brothers did some type of ceremony. It was the ceremony of the whit rose. I was surprised at how many of his old college buddies showed up. They had his ashes there which to me was hard to take. It is finally done. They sang Ava Maria. I spelled that wrong. Leah wanted them to sing that because it is sung at all the family funerals. It just makes you think of all the people that have died. They had a nice dinner afterward and then we all went to Leah’s house for awhile. It was fun talking about some of the things he use to do when he was a kid.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
The quite would get to me also. You should not get rid of your Boo-Fetti dishes. Just put them up some where and bring them out at a latter date. You may want to have lunch with the great grands and talk about Gary. It will be a nice memory for them and help you to like using those dishes again.
They will all be with you for Thanks-giving . They will be here in spirit and that will be comforting. You will have the others there and it will be nice to be there as a family and talk about the ones that are there in spirit.
JJ is such a good boy. He really does what he can for you. It must be nice to have him around and Bobby. Please take care of yourself and just keep going on.

Hi Adele,
I am still praying for you and Gary. I hope he goes off the respirator soon and things start to go better for him. That is rough on all of you. I really wish there was a way that I could help you but I know that there is not. That was a lot of heart attacks. I am glad that he passed the test and you know there is still hope. All we can do is pray. Please take care of yourself.
Luv Ya
Colleen

Hi Adele and DD
Adele I am so sorry to hear about Gary. I hope that he feels better soon and is back home. Sounds like they got things under control right away. It is scary when they get really sick like that. It is a good thing that you called 911 and got him to the hospital right away.
We did not have any kids come to our door this year. Not even our grands. I was a little disappointed they did not come by. We did not go into town this year. Ron worked out in the yard til dark so after we ate diner it was too late. I have candy here for all the grands.
DD, it is good news that the air is finally clearing up. Did you give out any candy tonight? We did not give out any. It is disappointing. We had the candy here just no kids.
Time is going really fast. I cannot believe that Thanks-giving is going to be here already. I do not want to think about the year being over with already. It is just going too fast. Our babies are growing so fast.
I do not blame you for not going if they have a lot of dogs and cats. It is hard to go to someones house that has all those animals. My youngest daughter has more pets then she needs and we do not stay at her house. All the pet hair that gets all over us when we are there. I guess that I sound picky. We have dogs but they are outside dogs. If we had little dogs they would be in the house but not the big ones.
Well that is all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
It is a shame that they cannot bring one of those portable xray machines to your home and do the x-ray. They use to do that a long time ago and it worked out really well.
It is so windy out here today. It feels like it could blow you away . We thought it would blow some rain in but it didn’t. We really need the rain here. Have you been getting the rain that you need? I know that you were really dry there where you are.
Your apple crisp sounds really good. Especially with ice cream on top. I have not made one of those in years. The kids really liked them but I guess since they are gone I have not made one.
That is so cute that Santino wants to be a pumpkin. It is funny the things that the kids decide to play with. That is cute lines all your pumpkins up. Does he try to count them?
I hope they delivered your groceries ok. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
How is Gary doing? I hope that he is feeling better. I hope you are still doing ok. This crazy weather cold one day and warm the next.
Are your grands ready for Halloween? I am not sure what the kids are going to be this year. I know Aliza is going to be a mind craft character. So I have no idea what she will be. We will not get any trick or treaters around here. Brook wants me to go out with her and Grayson so I probably will It was fun going out with them last year and we had a good time.
Have a great week-end and stay safe.
Colleen
