WHATS HAPPENING ON SUNDAY
THEY ARE SAYING SNOW!!!!! The ground is too warm to collect much tho. . Joe and I for the last 3 years have missed the snows . we have been either on trips south or on a cruise...winte time is when we like t get away so we don’t have to sit around in the cold.
That and I get so depressed when it gets so cold and I cant get outside much. But it hasn’t been as bad since I got the greenhouse cause I can go out there and play lol
Joes brother went home today, he was wanting us to say he could move back up here into the trailer. He said he could take care of stuff for us and all we would have to do is feed him, and I said and pay huge electric bills, and gas bills for over there. Told him we just couldn’t afford to do that anymore. I guess he got a little mad cause he was planning on not going home till Sunday but got up this morning and said he better go on home . I didn’t discourage him ...he is ok just gets on my nerves. It is hard to cook for him. He wants every thing fried and doesn’t like any chicken or turkey. Or pork, wants beef and
deer and potatoes and only veggie he likes is green beans. Besides he is getting alzehimers im sure of it. Or it could be from all the drugs he has done and probably still doing.
I used some of the left over turkey tonight to make jambalaya and added some shrimp and added a pork steak that was cooked yesterday for Joe and he didn’t eat ... it. Did you all know that , that is what jambalaya is, just what ever left over meats you have in the frig. Lol it is the Cajuns version of ref. soup or mulligan stew . neat huh.
I just pick out the meat and add some hot hot sauce to them and that is enough. We are trying to eat up the leftovers....i had way too many mashed potatoes for Thursday and tomorrow im going to make some potato pancakes. Love those things and may eat a piece of one. I had to hide my sugar free stuff so Joe would leave it alone...he ate all of his stuff now he want to eat mine that is always the way he does lol guess it could be worse huh?
I have been decorating the house today... still taking out the normal what nots for other Christmas stuff...it always takes me several days to get all the lights and stuff done...am trying to decide what I can do outside for decorations , more than I have . will put my lighted deer out in front and then I have two white plywood deers that I will put out.
I saw some solar lights I would like to have for both sides of the drive way, they were like the old fashioned post and lanterns so pretty but cost a good penny too. But the luck ive had with solar things is they don’t last too long ...and a lot of them have the battery sealed in them so you have to buy another whole light. I think that is what im going to ask Santa Clause for is some electrical lighting for the gardens. Takes a little bit to set them up and have to bury the elect lines but at least they don’t wear out . I am always asking for things for my gardens and no one listens to me lol well except Joe , one year I ask for a big load of good dirt and a big load of manure...lol that is what I got too. He thought I was nuts ...
SUSAN:::::: sure was nice to have you walking with us this morning. Im glad that you decided to just do the one block right now. You need to start small and work up. Not good for your poor feet and legs and knees to put to much on them at once. The muscles in there need to get some strength first.
Yeah those boys that are so tall it is like they eat and it falls all the way down to their toes lol...Donnie can sure put it away that is forsure...see you in the morning.
DEBBIE D::::::why are you feeling so tired I thought you was given some meds that would take care of that? If it isn’t working maybe you need to call and let Margie know..
I am still praying for David to find a job soon. At the least you do have some savings to fall back on but would be nice if you didn’t have to use it all wouldn’t it?
And as you said we need to all count our blessings.....and we all do have so much to be thankful for don’t we. ? we really do , I know I get upset sometimes that we cant do this or that and then I stop and slap myself and say dummy what in the world are you complaining about. There are lots of people that don’t have a home or a husband or enough food to eat or a car ...we do have a lot don’t we....
BEC::::::glad you got a new computer, what took so long to download avg for ? I downloaded that in a a few short minutes...don’t remember how long but it sure wasn’t 5 hours. You want a satellite system?? I have modem and dish for computer satellite ...i am going to the ALLTEL card since I got a laptop , this way I can have internet anywhere. I..go.. so I would make you a good deal on it lol.
You will get use to the new computer. But I would go online and get a instruction booklet so you can figure out how to work it... this one is probably a Vista and your old one no telling what ...if you hadn’t ever changed it was probably no more than windows 95...
Isn’t Jo still home to help you with it? Yeah I wish Andy was up there too for you...
VESTA::::::: lol wow that was funny yesterday. Vesta kept calling me . she was trying to sit up her new blue tooth and was trying to use the voice actived calling. She was trying to call someone else but the thing didn’t recognize her southern drawl and it kept dialing me lol. So funny . I bought long time ago one of the voice recognizer for computer to type what you want it to all by its self...you would never beliece at the silliest gobbled gook in your life. Lol
I was up at 3:30 and started to get dressed and go to wal mart but was way too lazy to do it. I just knew that it would be a mad house this year . people are so tight on money that they are trying to fine the best buys they can right now. ...
Yes that was the thing I wanted to get was the camera and the memory cards. But I was too lazy to go lol ...
JANET:::::::: you sound like you had one of the best couple of days that there has been.
Im so glad that you and Stephania had the time to get together and talk...sounds like she has grown up a lot.
Seems like everyonce in a while there is total harmony between all of our kids that makes us glad we are mothers. Lol
So Stephania didn’t ask to come back home?
Wow you could have knocked me over with a feather about your mom coming out there...
Im just so thankful and praising God that you had a couple of really really good days. It just hurts me when I hear how much pain you are in. and that doesn’t mean for you to not post ok? It just makes me feel good when you feel good.
Wow really neat about the winter coat. Purple huh? My color but I bet it looks good on you too.
RENEE::::::: hmmmm sounds like you might need to get some hollering done lol why does the grandparents think they should get into it with them at all? Is this the grandparents she has been living with?
Well poor little peanut I know she is devastated lol
COR::::::: yeah I finally figured out your . was the 9th...you are doing so great. Can you believe it is almost here.. and soon you will be on the losers bench.
I have called Jeanine a few times too and she is always in bed for me too. ???? does that sound normal? NO I may have to make a trip down there if I knew where in the world it was. Lol
But something does sound wrong doesn’t it
SUGAR;;;;;; so glad you are back home...the wedding does sound nice. How awful about the cake but what could she have done except uh-oh. Lol
Yeah Donnie is a tall one for sure.
Yeah what do you want for the frigerator. Im sure it would fit in the hole in the trailer...
It doesn’t have to be too big just to hold a few things. . will talk to you soon...tomorrow maybe if I can get hold of you. Are you going to the gym in the morning?
LOVE AND HUGS ALL
GOD BLESS YOU

It should be fun out there walking this morning huh? It is a very wet snow...
Well my little girl will be up here in a minute to go back to school. I am going to miss her something terrible.... we as always had such a good time together... we dipped pretzels in white choc last night for her to take back with her.
Janet it simply thrills my very soul that you had such a good time with Steph and your family! I surely prayed that would be the case... and how wonderful is that about your mom coming and you having a good time with her? I'm just so happy for you!
Oh stink! do you know what this puter is doing now... in the morning a windows update comes up and then right in the middle of this post the puter just shut down! and I lost what I was working on! That's got to stop! I guess there is some way to set it to do it in the middle of the night? Would have to have the stupid book to know that! I am getting places in getting this set up but there is so many things that it is taking me a long time to find, each thing I need...
I met one of my goals yesterday and that was to walk the country mile... Paul and Jo did it with me and we did it in pretty good time too. When I started out and when I was finished I thought of Andy and Barb S. they were my inspiration for so long in the walking or the desire to... you folks are fantastic! That country mile walk is 4.3 miles...I'm too afraid to do it by myself though. I will just keep my 3.3 miles in front of the house for now at least.
Mimi ~ would love the satellite but I only pay $19.95 a month for this dial up...I'm sure it would be WAY more expensive monthly for the satellite huh?
I guess "some company" it is good for them to come and good for them to go! huh? ~tee hee I bet you are glad that difficult cooking is done... I have a "relative" that is difficult like that but thank goodness I do not have to deal with it very often.
Debbie D. ~ I'm sorry you are not doing all that well....are you ok?
{{{Deb}}} Am getting ready to get some serious nut cracking done here in a bit... I just love to look at those hickory nuts they are so pretty... thank you again for them and the other nuts too... I sure wish I could see your house...did they end up giving you your own transformer? ~ha that was just wild that you needed your own! ~tee hee
Sugar ~ so glad you are back safe from the wedding and you enjoyed yourself. What are you going to get yourself into now besides the COF party?
Cor ~ boy oh boy your time is almost here! I'm very excited for you!
Renee ~ it's a shame that "stuff" seems to always have to happen at or around events. Hope it all works out well in the end. Hey Hey about the 50 lbs.! Congrats!
Vesta ~ I wish I had you up here to my house we would just make and make something! Not sure what it would be but wouldn't it be great fun to "craft" something up for the holidays?
Susan ~ It's fantastic you are getting out and walking... I'm so very thankful I did all I did pre~op... it will make it much easier on you if you do all you can now. Go Girl!
Sandy ~ can't wait to hear all your adventures!
Tammy Ammy ~ You do'n alright? I am praying for you!
Peggy ~ I am missing your Eating Post... now that the weekend is bout over.... you going to get them going again?
So many others I'm thinking about too...Lynette, Blondie, Penni,Laura,Angy,Liz,Jen,Layla,Brenda's, Bev's,Brandy,Cassie,Shelley,Marilyn, Angie,Susie's.... I'm sure I missed some too but I pray each and every one is being blessed!
Well my baby will be up here in a few and I need to get food ready to send back with her and send her off with a good breakfast. Man I'm dreading her leaving! But I am blessed that she has been so very successful in her college career, so I guess I better just get on board and let her go! ~ha
I am thinking of Sheila and Jeanine also this morning and hoping that both is doing well.
You all have a wonderful day... as soon as the it gets light outside I KNOW I will LOVE looking at the new fallen snow! this place is just wonderful in the snow...I like it best of all the places we have lived... the silence of snow and all the chattering of the birds is a wonderful sensory experience! I LOVE IT! I will have to get out there and get some feed in the feeders and corn on the squirrel feeder.
Have a wonderful blessed day!

You are a true jem! I did look like you said and the updates were to be at noon? Don't know why it did it at the wrong time.
Say do you shut your computer down every night? I've heard both ways....that's it better to let it run in sleep mode and it's better to shut if off? What do you think?
I may just have to take you up on the offer of some help if you don't mind? Now my spell check say's it no longer recognizes this language? It's English for Pete's sake!!! ~ha Do you know what to do about that? It's the Spell Check on the e~mail program... not this OH site.
I get a tickle out of your wife offerings to tell me all the "dirt" on you... too funny ... do you think I should get with her? I don't know how she will top the poop pipe! ~tee hee
Do you know where I go to see if I can get a manual downloaded? Have you done that?
Thank you so much for the help it is truly appreciated!
Bec

cor andy and i will be at his doctor's app the day you are having your surgery we will be praying for you.
bec the walking is hard for me at first but maybe sometime we all can get togther and go for a walk if you need to know anything else about andy just let me know i have lot's of thing's i could tell you lol.
sugar glad to hear you made it home ok from oklahoma how was the weather down there?
have a good day everyone we have some thing's to put up yet for christmas god bless susan

I'm so proud of you for getting started on the walking... YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY! Anything you do pre~op will just make it all that easier on you post op. It's sure ok if you have to start out slow and then work up... you have to start somewhere and before you know it you will be giving Andy and Jan a run for their money! ~ha I tell my Jo someday she is going to have to say "Mom slow down! I can't keep up!" ~tee hee NOT she is in such good shape... but I was so pleased I was able to ride the 16 miles on my trike with her... it made me feel so good and the saddle sores was WELL worth it! ~tee hee
I will most certainly have to get with you again "discuss" the good fellow! I just don't know how you will beat the poop pipe story! ~ha I asked him if he thought we should talk? ~tee hee
You hang in there dear lady! You are going to see such a change in your life... I am just now starting to see a little... but I just "feel" it is going to be great!
I'm going to change up the routine for a week and see if I can trick my body in to losing again... I seem to want to stall more than I lose... but I'm not discourged... I'm doing everything I know to do and will have to leave it to One higher than I.
Blessings to you dear lady!

I made it home from my whirlwind trip. We had to drive straight thru on the way back. That was tough on me. I never had trouble sitting before but my rear was so sore on this trip. My DH said whats wrong ,have you lost your padding? Not yet but it is getting smaller. I am taking today to recover. I will unpack tomorrow. My parents didn't react negatively to the news of my RNY. They were supportive. I didn't expect that. My in laws were very supportive and can't wait until the next time they see me.I just wish they weren't so far away. I kinda miss the Carolinas but do not ever see us moving back.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I didn't make it to the black Friday sales but it a good thing because I would have bought too much. I am going to have to start clothes shopping soon. I am not looking forward to it because I will have to try everything on. I hate to do that.
Since the cof party is staying on the 22nd I won't be able to make it. My son is coming in from Texas. Sorry but I will do my best to be there in Jan. for the meeting.
It just started snowing here and it is so pretty. I love this kind of snow,the roads are to warm for it to stick.
Bec I do not think I will ever be able to walk as much as you. You are amazing.
Deb glad you quit smoking.
Jeanine you better get back on here or I am coming down there. Get out of bed and get moving or you will end up with pneumonia like I did.
Everyone stay warm and enjoy the snowfall.
I'm not really amazing... I'm just trying to take advantage of the determination that the Lord has blessed me with for such a time as this... I'm so very thankful that I don't dread going out to exercise... it's the first time in my life that I have had it this easy when it comes to actually getting out there and doing it! I even look forward to it! I truly praise the Lord for that!
I know you will be successful too! I'm praying you will have everything you need to what you want too.
Bec
Just a bit of sadness to report - my special friend who was diagnosed last week with cancer died yesterday am. Not for sure if we are heading to Iowa for funeral or not as the ground is covered with snow this am.. Have a great day. Colette
