Hi Ladies,
This will probably be the last post this week as I know you’ll all be really busy with Turkey day & all. And then we have Black Friday. Not a whole lot going on out here. Guess what? Rain comes in Wed. night & we have rain all through the holiday weekend into next week–FINALLY!!!! The whole west coast is in for a soaking I hear. I’ve heard the good & the bad of it. It’ll help with the fires, but too much could cause flash flooding, & mudslides. Can’t win no way, no how.
Adele, that’s a cute pic of Gary & the boys. I’m getting on my broom so I can beat the air traffic out to your place for Turkey day!!!! LOL I ordered one of those batches of David’s cookie dough, & they sent me 2 sets!! I gave one to Hallie & they LOVED the snickerdoodles!! I haven’t tried them yet. But I tried the others & they’re good!! I also pre-ordered the 4 sides, the small bagels, & the mini cheese cakes for Christmas. I’ll be going over to Hallies for dinner so I can take some of each thing for the dinnner. Leave what I want behind & take the rest with me.
I’m sorry you’re having such a bad time with the roofers.
I;m making this short so I’ll close for now.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING everybody!!!!

Hi Ladies,
Just got done watching the QF cookie show. Saw lots of things I would love to have, but as I’ve said before, I’d need to win a lottery!!! Did any of you get anything? Of course the tops with the kitties were on the top of my list.
Sue, I’m so sorry you’re having such a terrible time with the snow. I wish you could pack some or all of it up & send it out here to the West coast!!! This Nov. is on track to be our driest Nov. on record. 1977 was the driest yr so far. We’re also getting the smoke from the fires in N. Ca. Some days it’s worse than when we had the fire out in the Gorge!!! Mixed with clouds it’s really a mess. The winds are changing now to onshore (westerly) & it’s blowing it out of here. thank goodness. Our air quality was really bad the past few days.
Talk about freaking out, when Portland even hears a rumor of snow they freak out. The freeways become parking lots before it starts!! We don’t get those N’oreasters like you guys get. But right now we could use one or two. I know Ca. could use some rain right now. I don;t think rain is in the forecast anytime soon, they say.
Not a whole lot going on out here, just getting ready to decorate for Christmas. There’s gonna be 3 Thanksgiving dinners in the area for us. This Sunday Beth Israel is hosting a dinner here, then the Trinity Episcopal church will have a big dinner on Thurs., then a group of student nurses will host a dinner at the end of the month. we’ll be turkied out by the end of the month. I’ll be going over to Hallie’s for T’giving. I’ll be bringing home a lot of left overs from the sounds of it.

Well, I guess that’s all for now.
If I don;t get back to you, have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

dd & Jewell

Hi Ladies,
How’s everyone doing? Good I hope. I haven’t been up to much the past few days. Just getting things arranged for Christmas. I feel like some of you. About not putting out a lot of stuff. It’s getting harder for me to decorate the place.
Portland & several towns have sent firefighters down south to help out with the fires. One of the local TV stations sent a crew down there & the reporter found a blind kitty cat & saved it.
While I’m on the subject of the fires, I wanna say something. I wish someone would keep his MOUTH SHUT until he knows the facts!!!! They believe there was an electrical issue at a substation or something & that started one of the fires. Never mind Ca. hasn’t had any measurable rain in months & is in severe drought down there. We’re not too far behind. We haven’t had a whole lot of rain either. The whole west coast is in a drought. But never mind that.
And when those Santa Ana winds kick in it’s awful. They can’t control them anymore than I can control the East winds coming out of the Gorge. He’s NUTS!!!
Nov. is usually our wettest month, but all we’ve had is a trace of rain this month. We’re supposed to get some tonight, but not much. They don’t see any storms out in the Pacific in the near future.
Well, I better get off here before I say something I can’t take back. And I don’t mean you guys.

I get soooooooo angry I could chew nails!!!!!

Hey Ladies,
Do you think it’s too early to start putting up Christmas decor? It’s just me & Jewell, & she won’t really care. lol. I still have the fall things up. I’m so slow anymore, it takes me longer to get it put up.
It’s gonna get down into the 30s tonight. IT’s clear & beautiful during the day, but cold at night.
take care.

Hi Ladies,
I’m back, I’m on my older computer tonight. The new one is acting up. I can’t get it to turn on or off. I get a blank screen when it”s on but nothing else comes up on the screen. It’s weird; I’ve never had this much trouble with this older one.
Adele, I didn’t mean to make you cry when I sent that video today. I haven’t seen that ad since it aired, & I thought you’d get a kick out of seeing it again.
I don’t know about what’s going on out there, but people are downtown protesting the new AG appointment. #45’s presser was horrible!!! I don’t think that reporter did anything wrong. Did you? He’s trying to deflect from answering the questions he should be answering. And I am glad so many women won!!!

I’ve gone to a couple ball games this week. They were exciting cuz the Blazers won. They host the Celtics this Sunday.
I wish we could get some of that rain out here. We’re dry as a bone with no rain in sight. Fires have started up again down south.

Hi Ladies,
this will be short as I’m dead tired. I just wanted to let ya know I’m alive. I haven’t seen any of your posts the past few days. I had to sign back in so maybe that’s why.
I’m soooooooooooooo glad the elections are over FINALLY!!!! My mailbox was overflowing with ads for vote for this, don’t vote for this, on & on. Out here we have vote by mail. They send us the ballot, & we mail it back. They enclose an envelope within the envelope so it can’t be seen.
Sue, where I live we’re not allowed to shovel snow due to liability. If you owned your home that’s different. If you get hurt they can be sued for liability. It’s the landlord’s responsibility to take care of the grounds around the apartment not yours. I’d check that out with a lawyer or legal aid.
I’ll write more tomorrow.
Good night.
