Hi Ladies,
I hope this finds everyone relieved the elections are over. Well, in our minds, but it sounds like you-know-who is gonna act like a spoiled 2-3 yr old & stomp his bone spurs till he gets his own way.
Our covid-19 cases are sky rocketing every day. the past 3 days they’ve recorded nearly 1800 cases. Thursday they recorded nearly 1,000 cases. The same day the gov. put 5 counties not on lock down, but pretty close to it. People just won’t take precautions!! I don’t blame Sue for being scared & nervous about going out.The only time I go out is to the store & right back. And that’s only when I really need something.
I’m slowly getting my Christmas decorations out. No tree up yet. Gotta move things around, which isn’t easy. In unpacking my stuff, Snowball has discovered a tiny box & she loves it!!!! She curls up into a tiny white ball of fur, I’ll see if I can send a pic of her in it. She isn’t sure what to make of all the boxes & tubs in the living room.
So sad about Alex Trebek. Pancreatic cancer is so painful, & deadly. I’m not sure if anyone beats it.
I better get off here.
Take care everyone.
Stay safe.

HI Ladies,
Let us pray for the country. Pray that He puts in the man He deems fit to run this country! It’s HIS Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Pray for our protection against all evil. Pray for peace & calm in this election. And pray for the virus to be destroyed.
In all of this crisis we have forgotten who is REALLY in charge. It’s long time coming that we get back to whom we have forgotten & get down on our knees, (if we’re able to) like we did on 9/11. Pray that the country get back to being UNITED & not divided as we are now. All lives matter to Him. Lest we forget.
We’ve been having lovely weather, but it’s about to do a 180 overnight tonight. The rest of the week will be wet, windy typically Nov.
I hope everyone had a calm Halloween. (I haven’t read the posts yet).
I’m in the midst of putting away my Halloween decor & getting ready to put out some Christmas decorations. I still have turkeys set out.
Well, I guess that’s all for now.
Stay safe & well.

Hi Ladies,
Not much going on out here. The fire alarm went off at 2 am & it didn’t get shut off for what seemed like an eternity, so it’s been a sleepy kind of day for me. Oh speaking of that, Snowball has finally decided to come up & lay on my chest. she’s done it more than once this week. I motioned to her last night to come & get on my chest & she did. I patted my chest & here she comes & jumps up on me. She’s a smart little cookie. when we’re in the bedroom & I’m leaving I call out “Let’s go” & she gets down & comes out to the living room. Now if I could figure out what she’s trying to tell me when she comes up meowing!!! Besides feed me, that is.
Our numbers have hit all time high this week. I think it was yesterday it hit 550 new cases of the virus, & 399 today! The total thus far is 41,000 state wide, with 655 deaths. and we’re supposedly turning the corner for it disappearing???? Seriously?? I don’t think so!!!
I didn’t watch the last debate. I’ve already voted, & so why bother. Yes I voted by mail & have accounted for my ballot.
I have my humidifier running now. Maybe it’ll help with my lungs.
Guess who woke up & is sitting next to me after she came & got on my chest.
Our weather will be warming up this week. We’ll be in the low to mid 60s mid week.
Adele, I’m sorry about your back. I used to have lower back pain. Do you know what you did to hurt it?
I do my best not to lift anything heavy.
Well, that’s all for now. take car & stay safe!!

HI Ladies,
VPH is on right now, decorating with Rick. I so love her things. I need to win a lottery & a much bigger place!!!
I hope this finds everyone doing well. It appears we went from a warm fall to winter over night!! Our temps are dropping like a rock in the next couple days. If this is an indicator of what’s to come we’re in for a cold winter. We usually don’t get frost this early. It’s more likely to come in Nov. We won’t get snow down here till later on, if we get it at all. But it is coming to the higher elevations this weekend.
Gail, I’ve been racking my mind wondering what pumpkin bird feeder? I can’t find it. I don’t have a bird feeder of any kind. I love your memes. Esp. the one with the man. I’ve said that for yrs!!
I have a new neighbor. He moved in yesterday. He’s an older guy & he has a dog. He was asking if this was a quiet floor, & I said yes, probably the quietest floor in the bldg.
I haven’t heard yet about the Halloween decorated door contest. I don’t think that many decorated their doors. I’m the only one on this floor. Alot of people don’t decorate like I do. Make that nobody decorates like I do in this bldg. LOL
Oh, I’m hearing on the news that over 100,000 people have turned in their ballots already! And the percentage is more that double from 2016 election. We’re at 10 % already, double from 2016. I sent mine in earlier this week. I can keep tabs on it on the computer.
Well, I guess that’s all from here.
take care & stay safe.

of the city that year. It was so strong we felt it all the way down where we were living. We were in the living room when the couch moved from one side of the room to the other. If I’m not mistaken it was a 9.0 quake. And we live in what’s called the earthquake belt. All the way from Alaska down all the way to South America.
I’m not sure what happened but at least I didn’t lose it.
I better send this or I will lose it.

Hi Ladies,
Well, let’s see if I can get this written before it disappears like the others have. I hope this finds everyone doing well. I’m fine, bored out of my mind is all. I’m hearing the rest of the country is feeling the same way. At least I’m not alone in that respect. Our numbers keep going up every week. Last week we had 3 or 4 days of 400+ new cases & of course deaths. the count has come down a bit this week, but it’s just the beginning. and a$$ole keeps harping on Dr. Fauci, calling him names, etc., & lie after lie after lie. I see the committee in charge of the debate is going to mute the mikes when one is speaking, no interuptions.
Our weather is taking a drastic turn this week. We could actually see frost on the pumpkins, & snow in the foothills around the area. A cold air mass is coming down from Canada along with a storm coming off the ocean. It’s too early for us to get snow right now. but this is coming a little early.
We didn’t feel the earthquake today. There was a powerful quake back in the 60s that we felt. It was the Anchorage quake, that destroyed most

Hi Ladies,
Well, I tried 3 times Thurs. to do a post & every time it vanished. I’ll give it another try now & see if I can get through it this time.
so I hope this finds everyone doing fine. I’m good. I hope I can remember what I wrote the other night.
I’m getting more than a little tired of this isolation. I did get to the store earlier this week, but that isn’t quite enough.
We had some rain earlier this week, & we really needed it!! We don’t have any snow yet. I don’t think the ski resorts have any at this point. Too early for that. but from what I’m hearing we’re in for a colder than usual winter. They;re calling for a La Nina this winter, which means lots of rain here & lots of snow in the mts. We really need it though.
So did anyone watch the dueling town halls this week? I watched VP Biden’s. I read where 45 lost big time in the ratings!!!! LOL. I think that’s why people are waiting hrs to vote!! I’m hoping for a landslide win for Biden. We gotta get that baboon out there!!! Some of the things he’s saying are outrageous!!
OK, every time he opens his mouth!!!
I moved things around in my bedroom this week so I have easier access to my Christmas stuff. I’m still planning to decorate for Christmas after Halloween. I know others are planning the same thing. It takes me so much longer to decorate these days, & I need something to boost my spirits. With winter looming isolation will be even worse. I have no clue what I’ll be doing for the holidays. We usually have the churches to go to for the holiday meals, but they won’t be doing it this year.
We got our ballots this week so I’ll be doing that tomorrow. we’ve had vote by mail for 2 decades, in fact Oregon was the first state to do it. I can track it on the computer now.
Well, I guess that’s all for tonight. I think I remembered everything.
take care & stay safe.

Hi Ladies,
It’s a beautiful day here, sunny & warm, but that’s about to end. A storm is on the way & it’s gonna
be a soggy weekend, & into next week.. It’s looking more like October. It’s one of the wettest months o
of the yr, but so far we haven’t had any rain. the best thing is it clears out the smoke that’s coming up
from Ca. It hasn’t been as bad as it was last month. Some areas of the state get more than we do.
Well, did anyone watch the debates this week? How many of you got a big hoot when the fly landed on
VPs head?? He stole the show in my book. You know what happens when a fly lands don’t ya? He leaves a calling card, if ya get my meaning.
I can’t believe what’s coming out of the white house this week. He’s having another rally or something Sat. to a large crowd of supporters. Last time I heard nearly 40 people connected to the white house have now tested positive for the virus, & he doesn’t seem to care how many people he infects.
Maybe we’ll get lucky & he’ll keel over during one of these rallies ending up on life support.
Gail those memes are hilarious. Thanks for the laughs, we need all we can get.
well, I guess that’s all for now.
Have a wonderful weekend.
take care & stay safe.
