Good Morning Ladies!
It is mostly sunny here this morning, but we are expecting cooler and windy weather for the next few days. When I say cooler, some of you will laugh since our highs should be in the low 60's. I know that would be a heat wave in some parts of the country.
I read Jean's post on FB about giving up her Hawaiian time share. I know that wasn't an easy decision, and I do hope Jean can travel to her home away from home again. If not, I'm very happy she has had so many wonderful times in Hawaii. Good memories.
Which reminds me that DH will probably not be able to travel to his home country again, or do any extensive traveling. That makes me sad indeed. My only regret is that we did not do more traveling when he was able. We did quite a bit of traveling, but we could have done more. Trying not to beat myself up too much about that since it does absolutely no good. Just trying to make each day as good as possible.
DH seemed to like the caretaker who came yesterday, and she seemed like a very nice person. She was a bit late (probably 10 minutes or so), which caused me to panic a bit since it was the first time I had someone come from this service. She said she had trouble finding our house.
Bookclub was good, but I never got around to writing up my notes yesterday evening. Hope to be able to do so later today. But, we have the senior lunch program today, and we may go to the gym as well.
Waves to Jean, Kathleen, Arlene, twinny (hugs), Barbara (hope your trip back to MN goes well and the infusion helps a lot), Charlene, Bernie, snicks, Susan, Marijane, LindaR, Rosa, pinky ann, Karen, and all of our posters and readers.
Have a nice day everyone!
Hugs,
Linda

Good morning!
Linda I think of you often.
Sunny here today, supposedly my rood will be completely finished today....I will believe it when I see it.
I have almost finished my Christmas shopping, I do not have a long list, but I try to buy a little here and there so it is not a burden.
My son and DIL have had a rescue dog for 5 years that has people issues , they are having a "dog whisperer" come work with them for 5 sessions.
I hope that everyone is well and safe.

Good morning ladies. Thanks to LL for getting us started today. Really chilly here this morning, think it got down into the 30's last night, only about 47 now. Went out about an hour ago to start on some outdoor work, decided it could wait till it warms up, in a while, even the dog wanted back in the house, lol. It must be difficult to give up the time share for Jean, hopefully she can still go sometimes. Sorry that your DH cannot travel extensively anymore. My husband doesn't care to travel at all these days, nor do much of anything else, not even sure why, it kind of irritates me, to be honest. He does have some health issues and is still trying to work (not at retirement age yet), so I know that plays into it, so I try to be understanding, but I'm not willing to just vegatate here at home the rest of my life, haha. Glad that the caretaker worked out yesterday, even though a bit late. I'm sure you will get your notes written up, even with the lunch program and gym, you are so efficient.
kittyfan, sorry you could not find the cards you wanted. I think I saw some at WM last time I was there, but that was a while back. My dog is a rescue, I highly reccomend it. They need homes so badly and the alternative for them I can't even bear to think about.
fbm8282lsm, hope your roof is done today, frustrating to keep waiting for it to happen. Good for you with your Christmas shopping almost done. I have to admit that I am just not into it this year. I did order a couple items for my hubby Sunday night, but that is as far as I have gotten. Actually, and this is lame, I mostly give gift cards anymore. Not nearly the fun it once was, but, everyone seems to like it very well. At least I know they can get what they actually want, lol.
Well, my sheets and comforter are washed and out in the cool sunshine drying, got my house straightened up enough to suit me, and it's now about 50 degrees so guess I'll head outside and see if I can get something constructive done out there. Waves to everyone.....

Hello friends! Checking in from my home. I am still sick, tried to get in to the Dr but she is out. I am hoping she will refill my inhaler - it was really helping but it is out of juice.
I am just picking up cleaning up and my friends will be here today sometime. Thinking about surprising a friend for lunch but I'm a little melancholy. Kyanne is so very happy to be barking up a storm in the neighborhood.
I am looking forward to our trip - counting down - we leave next Friday! Hope I am healthy by then!

Hello Ladies....it's a rainy and chilly day here but that's ok we need it...and everyone here knows what I say rain is better than.....LOL.
I am happy that your DH did get back to his homeland LindaL I am glad the caregiver worked out well got the both of you and that you will be using them again. hOw is your back doing?
Snicks I kmow what you mean about your DH not wanting to do anything.....my DH is the same....we used to travel a lot for business and also on our own but now he just wants to do nothing...(sits and reads )..he is in good health and we have the means to do so...also no pets anymore....although when we did have dogs that was not a problem ......to bad we don't live near one another.....we could take off somewhere LOL. i said yo him several times that pretty soon we will be too old,not in good health etc and you will regret it. Have fun in your no ending clean up of your leaves!
I hope you get your roof finished today Rosa.....I was just thinking earlier that I have not one thing for Christmas yet..my kids usually give me a list and off I go on the computer. i usually buy a few things and then give them a gift card to Amazon for the two guys and my DD I get one to a clothing store.
Hope your Katie did well on her first night at your house Susan.
Kathleen I do hope you are feeling better for your trip coming up...how long will you be gone,
LindaR thanks for the mention of the Marines 240th b'day today....my youngest is a former Marine .....I changed my profile pic on FB to honor him and all the others that served our country and those still serving.
Safe travels to Jean and her niece and also to Barbara. Happy to hear your brother will be going with you tomorrow Twinny...have a great time with all your cousins too.
Have a nice day everyone......Marijane

Good afternoon ladies hope all is well.
LindaL - Thank you for starting us today. Glad the new caregiver worked out, now that she knows where you live, hopefully she won't be late next time. I wish our lows were 60's, our highs don't make it to 60 anymore. Guess if I don't like it I can move.
Rosa - Hope your roof gets done today. Good for youbwithbthe Christmas shopping.
Snicks - Sorry DH doesn't like to travel anymore, we still travel a couple times a year, but it is getting to be a pain to. I really hate going to an airport anymore.
Kathleen - Are you at your real home now? Or are you in the rv. Hope you are feeling better soon.
Marijane - Katie did well last night. We took her bed upstairs (she only has one right now) to our bedroom, but she wanted to sleep downstairs. So I took her bed downstairs and she got on it. She slept there all night, I did hear her moving around and went to check on her. Found her on the coach (a no no here), so told her to get off and she did, put the pillows on the couches so she couldn't sleep on them. Wish I had a larger house so I could get a couch just for her.
Not much going on her today, I have a sore throat and my head is so stuffed up. I really hate colds, I would love to know who I caught this from. I feel bad because I am just laying around and not doing much with the dog. Can't do anything outside right now, it has been raining all day. Well need to find something for supper, have a good day everyone.

LindaL, thanks for getting us started today. It was raining steadily here when I awoke and drove to work. Looks like it's taking a break for now.
While you may not have travelled as much as you would have liked with your DH, I'm happy that you were able to make some memories. I'm glad the caretaker and your DH got along yesterday.
LindaR, It's getting more and more difficult to find anything Thanksgiving related. It seems retailers go straight from Halloween to Christmas.
Rosa, I can't believe your roof is still not done.
Snicks, maybe you can plan another weekend getaway and twist your husband's arm to go, lol.
Kathleen, sorry you are under the weather. Where are you going again?
Marijane, I awoke to rain this morning. It was coming down at a good clip and messed up the morning commute. Although in Michigan, we don't need to blame weather on a bad commute, the nuts around here do enough damage on dry pavement.
Susan, thank goodness Katie is trying to sleep on the couch versus eating the couch, lol. You never know with a rescue how he or she will adapt. I hope you feel better soon.
11-10-2015 02:11 PM
LOL Bernie good point about not eating the couch....our 1st lab did that...chewed his way thru everything in our house....I think if my kids did that much damage my DH would have sold the kids! .our second lab was a yr old when we got her and was all trained a perfect angel..difference between them were like night and day. NEither slept on our furniture or beds..a no no here too.
Forgot yo mention Bernie I liked your purchases you posted yesterday....the earrings jarred my memory...so sure enough I went looking and I have a pair,but they are lapis and also a matching bracelet....musta got it on one of the q's southwest shows .....so I have them on today......
