Hi everyone! I had a nice long weekend in St George Utah with a group of women to celebrate our 60th birthdays. We went on some hikes, I got a massage and it was very nice. But I was glad I had my own room so I could get away to regroup every once and a while.

Sounds awesome Kathy. I will be 61 in a week. Too cold here to hike and deer hunting season starts today. So I wont be in the woods.

Jamie, hope you are having a good night.

Hi Lynnwood.

Hugs, Karen...

Happy Birthday Kathy, and Karen, both K's in November!

Pitmom I wish you will with your extractions. I always cringe when they want to tall ALL teeth out at once.
But I guess they know what they are doing. Heal fast!

Mainer Mike, I would love to see the Moose. I feel so bad for them that the tics are so horribly bad! I won't type why I read about them, too sad. But they sure are beautiful, and love to see them run!

Do you remember the show Northern Exposure? I like that show. I would like to live in a small town like that now.

Peace All

Once, about 10 years ago, a moose walked right down the main street of our little town, past the bar with all the locals. Life imitating art.

Today I just did some errands and ate lunch at a general store in town. And now I'm chilling out while working on the computer.

I'm looking forward to the Patriots/Eagles game tomorrow.

Hello everyone! Texas survived its first Arctic blast this week.

Long week. I’m ready for a week off for Thanksgiving.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

So I lost my water bill and forgot to pay it so yesterday the town employee came up and dug up the shut off valve in my driveway. I paid the bill but did not fill in the hole because I was tired and my husband wanted me to take a picture of it before I did so we'd know where it was. This morning I was moving stuff from one car to another, not really paying attention ( the driveway's been flat for 23 years, after all ) and I stepped in the hole and took a hard fall. I landed on both knees and one elbow but fortunately managed to catch the bumper with my other hand before I hit my head. Hitting your kneecap hurts like an SOB so I didn't even look around to see if anyone saw me fall (no one did). Nothing broken but I am having trouble going up and down stairs. On the bright side , I had on jeans and a jacket. If it had been summer and I was wearing shorts and a Tee, I would have been a bloody mess. I'll survive.

Kathy, I fell on both knees coming out of a store once, there were cement steps. I was looking at my receipt and not where I was going. Both knees turned instantly black. I don't think anybody saw me, but it was painful and embarrassing. So don't feel alone. I know it hurts.

I hope that they heal fast.

Hi everybody, and have a great day.

Hugs, Karen...

I'm not doing much today. Just watching some NFL games on TV this afternoon.

When I woke up this morning around eight o clock, it was only ten degrees (F) out. I didn't expect it to be that cold since it's only November.

Welcome Sun!

Falling, I do that a lot now, if I don't walk mindfully. All the medication I take makes me dizzy. When I have to take my narcotic for breakthrough pain, or use weed. I crawl up and down the steps, to avoid any serious accidents. Of course, I don't go out at those times.

I guess it is close to having vertigo.

2pm and I am beat already, I am reading Snow Falling on Cedars. What a good book. It reminds me of To Kill a Mockingbird.

Was up till 1am reading last night. I want to paint, but painting when tired is not a good idea, comes out yucky

Have a good day all!
Peace

Today I'm just commenting to various online forums and blogs.

Actually, I shouldn't say "just." Commenting to forums and blogs is therapeutic for me. I enjoy it, even if it is just a hobby.

Hello everybody!

Was a nice day here finally weather wise. Not cold a little sunny. Not windy no rain. I liked it for a change. Oh and not snowing which is best. It is suppose to warm up on Thursday and hopefully melt the snow we do have.

I hope you all have a good night. Jamie starting his day.

Hugs, Karen...

Hello all. Had a very productive day. Was up at 4:18 am, thanks to the dogs. My laundry was done before 9 a.m.! Then, I dressed and went to the hardware store, got my paint, came home and got busy. Primed the ceiling, painted the ceiling, filled the holes in the walls, painted one coat on the walls. Tomorrow I'll get the second coat on the walls and when they're dry, I'll start moving the furniture that I can manage by myself into there. I chose a very, very light lavender since the room is rather dark with only the one window.

I have 2 tall, metal shelving units, a desk and chair, three Sterlite (plastic) dressers, a china cabinet and a shoe rack to get moved! The shelving has to be taken apart in the living room, parts carried into the 'office' and reassembled there. The hall is too narrow to move them 'as is'. The desk will squeeze through, though. I've already moved the dressers a couple of times (plastic is so nice for this) but I will definitely need help with the china cabinet. It was my Mother's and I plan to store my linens in it. The shoe rack is plastic, too.

Then, I can get rid of the heavy computer cabinet, move the buffet and put the t.v. on that! I've been keeping my eyes open for a little 2 seat dinette. The place is really coming together!! I can't wait to move my bed around and be able to walk around it...which will make it so much easier to make in the mornings! I'm too busy to be lonely!

Wow Pitmom,

You got a lot going on. You are always doing something constructive. Do you have any plants blooming inside? My anthurium is blooming now.

I hope you have a lovely day!

Karen, there's so much going on in my home this year...my neighbor is keeping my hibiscus for me and tells me they're blooming like crazy! I have one gerbera daisy with a bud on it. My amaryllis are starting to break dormancy, so we'll see...they don't bloom for the holidays anymore so I might get one more. I'm experimenting with how I overwinter the canna. I pulled the roots for several of the plants and bagged them as usual...then, I cut back others and put the pots into the storage closet...and last, I have 2 plants on the shelf with the amaryllis. Time will tell which is best (I'm hoping pots in storage).

I love canna lilies. Here it is much colder in the winter so a lot of stuff has to be lifted. Which I am too lazy to do. I think your cannas will be fine.

I use to have hibiscus too years ago. I liked that you could bring them in during the winter and they would still bloom. I use to be into the purple passion flower too. One year I was able to heat my green house and it climbed all over the place and bloomed. I can't afford to do that anymore. Somewhere I have photos.

Another favorite of mine is the gerbera daisy. You have all the plants I love. I like the earthy colors.

I hope you have a lovely day and I am happy you got your house back to yourself. I bet that is a feeling of freedom. I hope you have an awesome day and thanks for checking in.

Hugs, Karen...

I went to the food pantry this morning. And I was saddened to learn that one of the other volunteers there is battling cancer. I hope she overcomes it. She's a nice lady.

I am sorry to hear that Mike, I too hope she beats it. You are so kind to volunteer. You will be blessed.

Hi all,
I am impressed by your energy and enthusiasm Pitmom! Good for you! It sounds like you enjoy it. I just volunteered recently, Mainer Mike. So rewarding, emotionally, and great to "get out of myself". Tiring, but in a good way. Struggling a bit today as I don't feel well physically. And my brain is in a fog.

I think it's great that you recently did volunteer work, RedRain!

What did you do for volunteer work?

Just curious.

Congratulations RedRain. I think if I were to try to volunteer, it would possibly be at an animal shelter. I could walk dogs. Or something.

Have a good night you all. Good day to Jamie...

Hugs, Karen...
