We’ve got hard rain and thunder and lightning this morning. I hope there is a break somewhere during the day. We have laundry to do and we have to carry the clothes about 50 yards. We may drive them instead!
We said goodbye to Autumn yesterday which is always hard. But not so bad for me this time as she seems so much happier now. We really like the new man in her life and in a private moment I asked her if she thought we might keep him and she fairly sparkled when she told me she thought we probably would.
Tina passed her practice run getting into the back of the pick up. This trip is going to be difficult but we can do it! And she was quite alert and cheerful sitting up in their dining booth last night with her foot propped on a stool. And she was able to get another bottle of pain pills for the trip. She has an appointment with her own orthopedic surgeon January 6
I finished my Nanette blocks Yesterday. So now they and my machine are packed away until we get home to WA.
Irish, I know how you feel about sisters! Some days are golden and others, you want to shove them off a cliff! But I have to say, The last few years this sis (8 Yrs older) and I have been getting closer. But I have a younger sister (1yr younger) who has very little interest in either of us and lives only 3 mi from older sis.
. And I’m running low on brothers. I have the same cleaning lady as you. And sometimes she gets very lazy. I have to invite company over just to get her to move!Jana, happy birthday to Ethan! Can’t believe he’s nine. Seems like you just found out he was joining your family as a newborn! So happy to hear Matt came home from the hospital!
Tina, how is your dad doing these days? And Kevin? And we need a report on how you like your new machine! What have you done on it so far?
Lori, when we get home I am going to Trader Joe’s and get some of that orange chicken. I want to give it a try. It always sounds delicious when you have it.
Becca, I never heard of rooster comb shots. When you mentioned them I envisioned a short series of shots of Cortizone placed vertically in the knee. Boy, was I wrong!
Well today is laundry, vacuuming, and sweeping. I was going to mop the floors but since it’s such a rainy day, I don’t think there is any point. They can wait until we get to Colorado. We will stay there until after my sisters orthopedic appointment and make sure they are settled. Perhaps five days - and then figure out the best route home with weather being the main consideration.
I am putting a turkey breast into the crockpot this morning. Going to make mashed potatoes and gravy and some kind of vegetable. Maybe green beans. And Red lobster biscuits
What is your New Year’s Eve supper looking like?
I'm staying up to make sure 2020 leaves and 2021 comes in with a special prayer
