Sunny, I miss going to our Veteran's Day services. We have not gone to any here since we moved. Sorry for the cold.

Bestofour: I will be over.. soon...Could you please put on the coffee, or even tea would work.

The service was at 11 am, we had to be there for 10am, it got over at 12:30. We are home now...sadly, only half were in attendance than was there last year. It is held in a hockey arena, it was so cold....most elderly people probably can't take the chills. I am never cold and I was chilled.

Junie if you ever decide to buy pinecones come to my house and I'll give you some free ones. smile

Sunny, what time was the service? I thought about it but I didn't want to get up early. Call me lazy this morning.

I did not get a nap, but I am going to bed in a few minutes to ight so that should help me, Bestofour. But thanks for the good wishes.
It was 71*F today. I wish I had not of put away my capris.

Junie, hope you got to take a nap today.

My temperatures have been mild too but I got a memory on Facebook from 2 years ago and I still had tomatoes and squash in the garden on this day. It's just so dry here.

Sunny, you'll be proud of me. I painted my flower boxes on the pretend greenhouse today and stayed in the lines. The plan for tomorrow is to move some monkey grass around.

I hope you got some sleep Junie. Insomnia is terrible.😘

I just can't get over this mild weather, I should be covered in snow by now. El Nino is pushing Mother Nature to the North of us.

it is 1:34 am. and I am still awake.

good night...I hope.

I have no hope for our healthcare anymore, I just hope when I die it is quick. No wonder most people are doing the 'right to die' injection here.

Junie, we were talking about that exact same thing in Sunday School this morning. It seems everyone is waiting on a call from scheduling for one thing or another. The husband of one lady was told he might have a malignant tumor on one of his kidneys and has been waiting weeks to get scheduled for surgery. The price of health care continues to rise while the care gets worse and worse.

Sunny, our power has gone up substantially in the last few years here too. My bill isn't yet doubled from last year but one more increase may do it.

Junie, if you see a weird FB post on my page, I went to lunch today at the same place I've been the last 2 weeks, the hostess from the last 2 weeks saw me and asked me if I'd write a review so I did.

yes I think so too about healthcare. Plus I think the older we become the less TPTB are concerned with us. We are not productive members of society after all.
I will call my Dr. again tomorrow. This is getting really old. especially since I do not think therapy is what is needed. but I guess one has to start somewhere.

Junie, these days one has to fight for themselves when it comes to healthcare....it's so sad.😘

Bestofour, come pick me up...I'll paint for you.😉. Yes, I try to line dry everything to keep my power bill lower. They raised our power bills 26% over the past three years.

More rain for today.

My foot...LOL..yea I wish...
on 10/12 I had X-rays...
on 10/19 I got a call and was told it was not broken and my Dr. wanted me to go to therapy...so I waited..
Between the 18th and 26 I had horrid jabbing pains on the side of my foot.
on 11/2......I called the nurse at my Drs. office and left a message. She called me right back and said where I was to go to therapy and that she would call the therapy department again.

Well today is the ,7th and I have heard nothing. luckily the jabbing pains are not as severe now. However I will call my Dr. AGAIN on Monday....I get a bit firm. I SO wish I still lived in Illinois. I am sure I would have had it taken care of by now.

Junie, what is the plan for your foot?

Sunny, you'd think the flies wouldn't like the cold but I saw a show about Alaska that mentioned the horrible mosquito population there. Where do they go during the extreme winters?

Wednesday I got more than an inch of rain but now no more is predicted in forever again. That bit of rain did make the trees beautiful with fall color.

Sunny, I think about you every time I think about doing a job DIY. I'm going to paint the window boxes on my pretend greenhouse without taking the flowers out. Hope I can stay in the lines. Do you use your clothes dryer only when you can't hang them on a line?

yay for above 32*F. not to feel bad about the dryer..it happens.

Pouring rain here, as it was yesterday, tomorrow and for the next day. I guess I'll give in and use my clothes dryer later. Thankfully it is staying above 32*F.

yes about the warm weather and flies. We had bugs, especially mosquitoes Halloween night. I think our unusually warm fall hatched them.

I brought in my pot of variegated Hostas that some animal planted a few years ago. I need to find some place in the yard to plant them out.

not raining here but a lot cooler than even yesterday

Good morning, still raining here. My gosh, the house flies are terrible this year. As soon as one walks outside, they are swarming everywhere. It has been a lot warmer than usual...I think it is stirring them up.

good idea.....for both of us !!

Take a pic of the shoes and do a Google lens search, you might find a close match.

I hear that about shoes. I had a pair of tan round toed loafers that I only wear to church. well I wore them to the Drs. for my check up a few weeks ago for ease of removal when I got weighed.
Well I was telling the Dr. about my foot and as we both look down I noticed how cracked they were. Sad really
Those too should be thrown away. They were a gift, so I do not know where to begin looking for replacements.

I don't like to sleep in long sleeves or long pant. I have pajama sets that I'll put on after a shower but when I in bed I put on a long short sleeved shirt.

When I got up this morning and looked out the window it looked like a nice, breezy, overcast, fall day so I put on a light jacket to wear to Bible study. When I walked out the door I 'bout fainted because it was really already 70°. It's 78° now and humid as all get out.

I used to get stuff from JC Penney's all the time. As a matter of fact I wore a pair of pumps to church Sunday that I bought probably 18 years ago when there was a JC Penney at the mall in my town. Right before I got to church I saw that the top had cracked in several places so I had to throw them out when I got home. I didn't wear them that much but sure wish I could find another pair.

The thanks Sunny I will. Sorry about that, Sunny. That must make dressing difficult in the winter.

I think it will rain here over the weekend..or perhaps early next week.

Junie, check Old Navy. They have great deals, my DD used to order the kids clothes at the end of season sales.

I can't stand wearing long sleeve shirts or pants. I hate having to go places in Winter...I'm expected to put on long pants when I'm out and about.🥴

We are getting a full week of rain here. At least it's not snow.

I used to buy 2 pair of those sweats every year from Penneys. After they discontinued their catalog I have not been able to find them. Not even at Wal-Mart. ( because I want the ki d that have fitted ribbing at the ankles) But I do have a few pair of these 2 piece soft brushed cotten like sets from Temu. They are not as warm as the sweat suit sets, but they will do the job.

Junie, you need some fleece sweat shirts and pants from Walmart. My mom says they are the warmest clothes that she has ever owned.
