Re: Shopaholics One Day at a Time (Monday, December 20)

Hi sydsgma!

I nevrer posted on the other site but read it when I had some time for me. Glad everyone is recovering from Covid.

Quiet holdiays are "golden" for us. The kids and there inl-aws can certainly provide more "entertainment" than we prefer. 

Today we had a mix of rain to snow  with clouds and cold temps. I hope the rain takes a break and just the cold temps and clouds stay for a few days. That's my ideal weather to run around and do errands. Strange but it works.

Yea Linda R, I know it's good folks still go to church but really remember whose house you are entering, smh.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Hi chessielady!

Welcome !  

I am sorry for the loss of your two dogs.  I miss mine every single day. Each one has a sepcial place in your heart. The heart just seems to grow with the love of these animals. I have 2 German Shepherds that are siblings and 7 now.  

 

Our kids are grown but live near us. We are finally starting to update our home after storm damage and major appliance , etc. replacement.  Of course, it's going much slower than planned but we aren't "20" anymore. LOL 

 

I'm trying to watch a little less news and a little more Hallmark movies or mini series. Any of those programs seem to put me to sleep which is always a good thing.

@Bird mama I remember your posts about the freezer with gun safe in concrete and the installation of your cook top. I told my husband all about it and he said you were won gutsy lady. That was high praise from him !

 

I was also sorry about the loss of your last bird. It is always heart breaking to lose an animal friend.....

Hey @Fressa   of course the blouse is at JCP.  The name is Worthington Split Tie Neck Long Sleeve Blouse and the pattern is called Olivia Geo - I see nothing geometric but they didn't ask me.

@Fressa  GSD are so noble ! I have Chesapeake Bay retrievers. Many moons ago I showed Cardigan Welsh Corgis. (the ones with the tail!) After the loss of my last Cardi "Sherman my heart dog...I just couldn't have another. I have always had a retriever in my pack so I went back to the Chessies.

I love reading about your struggles with mud and the pooches. That is a never ending battle isn't it?

@chessielady   I should have never moved forward with surgery on Francis until I had all of the information and test results.  If I would have held my ground and said we aren't scheduling diddly squat until you give me the radiologist report, Francis would still be with me.  I learned after the fact that surgery was not necessary and it's something I live with.  I know Francis is restored and bopping around heaven.
