Hi Gail,
Yeah, when I sent the email about the dinnerware to her & didn’t hear back, I got to wondering. You know how ga-ga she is over Boofetti. I was sure she’d buy it out, lol. I thought I’d hear her cheering & carrying on from here. But not a peep. Not until I got the message this afternoon. IT’s ironic I had just got back from a spagehtti dinner & management meeting downstairs & found the message on my phone.
Bless her heart, she has so much going on with Tillie, & everything else. she doesn’t need this.
I’m having friends pray for her as well.

Hi Ladies,
I apologize for the sudden sign off. I got to the end & a big black block came up & blocked off my post. I had to submit before I lost it completely.
I’ll keep in touch if I hear anything from her. Hopefully the next time we’ll be hearing from her!!

BREAKING NEWS LADIES,
I got a message from Adele just moments ago. she’s in the hospital with Diviticulitus and colitis. She says she’s sick but getting a little better. She’s asking for prayers from everyone. she didn’t say how long she’s been in the hospital or when she’s gonna be released. Obviously not anytime soon from the sounds of her message. I don’t know too much about these diseases but I can imagine she’s in pain.

I got an email about Boofetti dinnerware yesterday & sent messages to her about it. I didn’t hear back from her, which was surprizing to me. I tried & tried but got nothing back. Now I know why. She must’ve been in the hospital at that time.

If I hear anything from her I’ll be sure to let you know.

Hi Ladies,
Just a quick note. HAPPY FALL everybody!! I hope this finds everyone doing fine. I’m still in the throws of decorating for fall. I have to do little bits at a time. No Halloween stuff up yet. I thought I’d get a reaction from you Adele. LOL. Your decorations are cute. I got a chuckle out of your boo-boo. Like I said at least you didn’t forget it altogether. That would be me.
Adele, does Tillie have Parkinson’s? I wonder if that’s what’s causing her to shake so much. Does she have an inner ear issue? That could be the balance problem. I’m sure you’ve had all that checked out, but I was just wondering. On another issue, that pic on IG of the QF show was from last yr. I remember Antonella, & I recognize the little girl between Angel, & Patrick. If you’ll notice Antonella still had her dark hair. The host with Angel today was Jennifer Coffey. she’s not loud & more mellow than some of the other hosts. I think she’s sweet tho. she does alot of jewelry shows. I missed the Q2 show last night, & most of it this morning.
Our last day of summer looked more like October, dark & rainy most of the day. It was overcast today, but dry. The trees are just starting to turn on the very tops now.
I fixed a pork loin today & shared it with Critt. I ran out of potatoes, so I warmed up some baked beans. So we had pork & beans for dinner tonight.

I;m glad you enjoy my tales of Snowball’s antics. she’s full of energy like a 3 yr old. she drives me crazy sometimes, meowing & meowing to get outside in the hallway. She wants to find out what’s going on in the apt across the hall. she hears, or smells another cat over there. When she does get out there, she makes a mad dash for the end of the hall. and when I start out after her she runs to the other end of the hallway. Half way down she turns to see where I’m at. If I get too close she takes off again. I’m not as quick as I used to be. lol
Colleen, I don’t wear jewelry either. But I have to admit that I LOVE the Sleeping Beauty turquoise jewelry. It’s too expensive for me. I tuned into the last show with Judith Ripka, & I nearly passed out looking at the prices of the jewelry she was presenting. WOW!!! is all I can say. You’d have to be pretty well off to afford those prices. I can’t wear anything around my neck as I break out in a rash when I do.
Well, I better get off here before I lose this.
Have a great week!!

Hi Ladies,
I found out watching the Q that Thurs. afternoon will be Judith Ripka’s last on-air show. It’s at 4pm ET. they;re doing a retrospective show of her jewelry.
I wonder if Rick is going to be the host with her. I know he’s done alot of shows with her. I wonder why she’s leaving. Hopefully she’ll say why.
It’s been rainy most of this week. We set records for the amount of rain we got over the weekend. There was localized flooding due to clogged drains. and the leaves havent even fallen off the trees yet. They’re just barely turning. It’s possible there was snow in the higher elevations, but not where I am. Probably 4,000-5,000 ft. Not down to the ski resorts yet. We won;t see snow where I am till Jan. But I think we’re in for a hard winter this yr.

I’ve got most of my decorating done. Still have some things to finish. Right now it’s all fall decor. I haven’t put up Halloween yet. Will do that later.
Snowball has been a character. I’ll be sending pics of her being silly.
Well I better finish this & get it sent.

Hi Ladies,
I hope this finds everyone doing fine. We set records with our weather today. It rained & poured most of the night & today. I can safely say our wildfire season is over. Fall came in with a roar, even tho it isn’t officially fall yet. I don’t think we got out of the 60s & won’t for the first half of the week.

Have any of you heard any thing about Judith Ripka? David said something, briefly, then saw an ad for a a show on her later this week.
Oh I smell dinner!!
I’ll get back later.

Hi Ladies,
I’m back. I still haven’t read all the posts. I’m way behind on everything. I haven’t been sick or anything. we’ve had alot of rain, thunder, lightning, heavy downpours, localized flooding in low lying areas, streets, highways. Not around here tho. It’s due to clogged drains around town, & the leaves haven’t even begun to fall yet. They’re barely turning as it is.
I don’t know how it is back there, but fall came in like gang busters out here. the nights are getting chillier, & the mornings are cold. I’ve held off turning on the heat just yet, but it’s getting there. I took out the AC today, & moved some of the furniture around. I’m still not finished. snickers isn’t sure what’s going on. Cats don’t like change.
For those who love Halloween, Dollar Tree has alot of decor. Hallie & I went to a different store & it was full of things for Halloween. I found several new items to set around. Pumpkins, gourds, (sp), ears of corn, etc. There are several stores around the area, which makes it nice.
The strangest thing happened earlier this evening. I was sitting here, when I saw fireworks just outside my window. It didn’t last long, just a few seconds. I’m not sure where they came from. it appeared they came from above, but that’s the roof & I didn’t hear anyone up there. there were no loud bangs or anything.
Well, today was a day of remeberance. I dressed in red, white & blue. I was sleeping when it happened. The time difference. I didn’t learn of it till way later in the morning. I think we all walked around in a fog for days. I had gone to NYC in 2000 & got pics of the towers while there. I had taken one of those tour buses that went to them, but I didn’t get off to go up. But I did get a great pic as we drove past them, actually between them & I got the pic looking up at them. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day. When I took the ferry out to Statue of Liberty I turned & got a pic of the skyline. I’ve been to NYC 3 seperate times, except not during the Christmas season.
Did you see the new fall tops from QF? The ones with the embroidery on the sleeves. I’d love to have the lt. navy with roses. they’re all beautiful tho.
Well, I guess that’s all for tonight.
take care.

Hi Ladies,
Just a quick note. In case you didn’t hear we had a tornado warning tonight at 7:00 pm for this county. Hallie called to see if I was alright & did I get the alert on my phone. I didn’t see it, but y the time I did the warning was cancelled. We’ve had some strange weather systems come thru the past couple days & nights. They say it’ll continue through the next few days. the storms are coming out of the Gulf of Alaska. summer’s long gone. Fall came barreling in!!! We don’t have to worry about wildfires at this point.
I;m fine, & so is Furball.

Hi Ladies,
I hope this finds everyone doing fine. I haven’t read all the posts so forgive me if I don’t reply to them. I can’t really say there’s been alot going on out here. Just keeping track of the hurricane. I have a friend near Jacksonville, which is where it was supposed to land. I heard from her after it left Fl. & she didn’t have much damage. Just alot of branches, leaves, debris from trees is all. But the temps are horrific. In the upper 90s with humidity making it feel like in the triple digits.
Our weather is so opposite it’s like a whole other country. We had a nice holiday weekend. It was a lazy weekend. The kids went back to school Tues. Today looks & feels like fall has arrived. Overcast, chilly, & we had some showers.
Snowball has been quite the character. I nearly had heart failure the other day. I had just taken out the screen I have in one of the windows, & closed the window. shortly after she got into one of her playful moods & ran & jumped up on the window sill. If I hadn’t removed the screen, she could very well gone out the window. I took some video of her exploring my mess from decorating. she’s enthrauled with my garlands of fall leaves, & she was snooping around & stuck her head into one of my grocery bags. I thought she might fall into it. she got into her playful mood at bed time earlier this week & expected me to chase her around the house. It’s so hilarious to watch her try to get traction on the tile floor & go nowhere fast. LOL
She’s gotten to know what NO means. She got into some real trouble the other day & she hid behind my rocking chair for a long time. At one point I looked around the corner & here’s this one eye looking around the corner of the chair.
Well that;s all for tonight,
take care
