Hi Everyone,
DD glad things are cooled down there. Your pictures are so pretty.
Colleen, I hope everything is ready for Christine. Say hi to her and you guys have a wonderful visit.
Adele, I want to come and eat at your house. Everything looks delish!
I know what you mean about the boofetti. it is just so darn cute. I must say I got side tracked on decorating and haven’t done much.Plus since i hurt my knee it’s hard for me to go up and down the basement steps to show Greg what i want brought up.
We were supposed to go to my sister’s last week but Greg had been with the Paulist choir guys on Friday and we found out Monday that five had tested positive for covid and we were supposed to leave on Tuesday and come back Friday. So we had to cancel our trip because Greg was exposed. So that sucked. We talked to someone Saturday and a dozen people ended up testing positive. Plus I heard that a few that tested positive flew home and I’m assuming they were still positive when they flew out. So it just goes to show if you are traveling you can’t trust everyone else to be honest about their covid status. How self centered to do that! And these are not young people either.
I watched the funeral but didn’t see the first church service as that was on before I got up. Such pomp and circumstance!
The rest of the royal family will be exhausted by the time it’s all over.
I like the sitcoms too.
Adele, I think you have Disney plus so you can still watch DWTS. I think that starts tonight too.
That went to Disney and Days of Our lives went to Peacock and not the free part and I refuse to pay more for all these things so I will just miss them.
i was curious as to how Wayne Brady will do on dancing-he is so talented at many other things I’ll bet he’s good at dancing too.
some of the people I don’t know. I hear Mark Ballas is back as a pro so I will miss him too. I always liked him as he is out of the box creative.
The Bears lost to our rivals The packers last night so we are in mourning over here. lol

Hi Everyone,
Colleen, I will pray for your sister.
I didn’t realize that Christine was coming this year. You must be very excited. Is she coming alone or with her boyfriend. I can’t remember his name anymore. Maybe Stuart? I hope she will be well enough to travel and her eye sight will be improved. It’s so nice that she has you to visit too.
Jeanne would have loved to have known that you made friends with someone from the U.K. all because of her clothes.
Adele, glad you finally got rain. I hope it doesn’t rain too much and flood like it did in some places.
JJ is a good helper. Well now Jenny got Covid-so I figure the two that are left will probably get it too. So we have stayed away from them for weeks now. We did go to see Piper at the football game. since it was homecoming the cheerleaders had a half time show so we really wanted to see that. However, we came home in the 4th quarter because it was so hot sitting out there that I was starting to get sick. I am such a delicate flower. lol
Jenny’s SIL and her husband are coming to Boston this week to go to an Aerosmith concert. I can’t believe they are flying out there just for that. These young people! lol
DD, I’m glad you got relief from the heat although I hear it is still hot in some parts of the west.
We will be making some short trips over the next couple of months so I will be in and out here.

Hi Everyone,
DD, everything is still pretty green here. We have plenty of rain though. it was dry midsummer but since August we have had plenty of rain. They say we are in for storms later today. I hope not. The days are definitely getting shorter though. We once had a cat that no one ever saw. She was fine with us but if anyone else came over she would make a mad dash for under the bed. She was our mystery cat. lol
I have not noticed any hosts missing either but like the others I seldom watch live. I DVR shows I might be interested in and flick through them quickly and I also check recently on air and new today on the website. I might watch Angel live for at least part of a Quacker show and I always will watch Payton Kelly if he is on a jewelry show but that’s about all anymore. I remember years ago I had it on in the back ground all day long for company-but that was in the days before the internet and the DVR.
Colleen, I looked on Antonella’s Facebook page even though I am not on Facebook it must be public as I could see it. It looks like she is selling jewelry for someone on there now. She has short gray hair as I assume she lost her’s through chemo but she looked well. So I hope her cancer is gone and she is recovering. I know she was living on a boat and it looked like that might be where she still is. Every once in a while someone posts something about her on the Q boards which I check out regularly.
I’m glad things seem better for Christine. What is the name of your great grand daughter again? There are getting to be so many and i am getting old and forgetful. lol
I’m glad Kylie is helping you clean. That’s so nice. Sometimes Jenny offers to help me but I figure she’s busy enough. Now that Greg is home he helps me. Also I must admit with just the two of us I don’t clean as often as i did years ago. Then it was every week. Now it’s every few weeks with just the two of us and few visitors we just don’t make that much of a mess. Plus it takes me four times longer to do the same things I did 25 years ago. lol
Adele, I love the way Santino announces himself. lol Do you ever ask who’s me? lol Does no one call him Sonny anymore.
It’s funny that you said the Q hosts are all business without personal stories. Many on the Q boards complain about them acting too silly and giggling and telling too many personal stories. They just want them to be strictly business. I never minded the personal stories or joking around. I think it made it more interesting but it seems some people just like to complain and now with the internet they have an audience. Two people who really have a lot of complainers are Shawn and Jane Tracy. They really bother people. I guess I am just too easy going and see no reason for all the negativity against people that they don’t even know.
So Lachlan has Covid now. I figured with the kids back in school it was just a matter of time. I just hope no one else gets it. He seems to have a mild case. Just a fever and sniffles. Fingers crossed.
So Colleen and Adele do your great grands call you the same thing as your grands do and what do they call you.
I don’t have any great grands but my grands call me Gigi.

Hi Everyone,
I have just been lazy this week and not gotten on to chat. It just seems since covid our lives have shrunken smaller and smaller and we get out and do less and less. Thank goodness we at least still get out to see a concert once or twice a month. Also since I hurt my knee last Christmas I just haven’t been able to be too active. The two cortisone shots I had helped with the pain but I think I did something more permanent to the knee so i will have to break down and go to an ortho guy.
The kids went back to school last week. I’m not sure how Kendall likes high school as she doesn’t talk much.
We did go watch Piper cheer for her first junior tackle game last Saturday. The little girls look so cute in their uniforms.
Piper takes it very seriously although I doubt any of these little girls know anything about football. lol
Of course Jenny was a cheerleader for football and basket ball all through high school and I still don’t think she knows anything about football. i always found that weird as it seems I watched football even as a kid.
Adele, I wish you could get some rain. I hear the drought is really bad back east. And now after years of drought the southwest is getting too much rain.
I would gladly share our veggies with you as we have too much for just the two of us. We do bring veggies over to Jenny’s every week and she shares them with her girl friends.
So now after DWTS is going over to Disney-Days of Our Lives is going to Peacock plus-so after Sept. 12th I will no longer be able to watch as i refuse to pay for peacock-they could have been nice and put it on the free Peacock but I guess they are just too greedy. Plus I don’t really like to stream as our internet is not always reliable. I have a feeling that the Days audience is mostly older people and it will fail over on Peacock as not enough people will follow them over. Who knows-the same thing may happen with DWTS.
Colleen, I will pray for Christine. She has more than her fair share of physical issues.
DD, even though i know it’s coming I’m just not ready for fall and the cold weather and the shorter days. Even though I’m not crazy about the heat I don’t like the cold and dark of winter. But i guess where you live it doesn’t get as cold as it does in Northern Illinois either.
Sounds like Amazon just came and delivered some things. I better go check.

Hi Colleen,
I love corn on the cob too. I could it it morning noon and night when it is in season. I guess it’s so special too as the season for sweet corn is short.
I will pray that everyone in Mandy’s family feels well soon. How is Kylie doing? It seems we haven’t heard about her in a while.
What grade will Aliza be in? I’m surprised that she doesn’t want to go back. She seemed very sociable and like she would enjoy school.
I can’t believe our grands are getting so big. Kendall starts high school as a freshman. Lachlan starts junior high as a sixth grader and Piper changes schools to go to 4th grade. Yikes!
I think Piper got two ribbons for her pigs a third and I can’t remember the other one and she also got a second for her cake decorating.
Lachlan’s golden birthday is Friday-he’s turning 12 on the 12th.

Hi Adele,
Jenny sent me a video of Piper showing the pig for the auction. You have to keep them moving so they don’t just stop and eat or lay down so here is this little girl getting behind this pig and shoving it to keep it moving. She is fearless! lol I hope they got a good price.
Yes, I had heard of bed bugs in movie theaters too. I guess if you heard all those stories it would keep you from wanting to go anywhere or do anything-so for the most part I prefer to remain ignorant of all the yucky things. lol In this case ignorance is bliss! lol
I hope the cooler weather has kicked in by you.
It’s good to hear that Steff has stopped over with Aizen too. Hopefully things are entering a peaceful phase for your family.
