Good morning! Slept last night so I feel much better.

Raineegal, I am glad that Shai is home safe and sound. I hope that Shai soon gets a firm diagnosis and can begin healing. I have a friend who was diagnosed with RA about 30 years ago. When diagnosed she was in bad shape, but she recovered and has been well since then. She does have to take care of herself. I hope Shai does equally well.

Pat, I remember having 80 degree weather at Christmastime in Florida. Somehow it was hard to get into the Christmas spirit. While we were in Florida, we had a hot tub at our first house. It was outside and we could use it year round. You will enjoy SD at Christmas. That should be so much fun. But isn't it hard to have to choose where you want to spend your pennies? Last night I was telling my husband that if I had lots of money to spend, I would go .... Fill in the blanks!

Better make laundry one of the things to do today.

Joanne gracious as ever. Thrilled, but we will have to see how we do in bean town.

Raineegal, have a great reunion with Shai! I know that it must be exciting. Take care.

Maggie, great to see you posting. End of grading periods always makes it busy. How's your NROTC girl doing?

Pat, I'd share some cool weather if I could. Since I can't, I guess you will just have to visit some day. This is a good time ... the leaves are approaching their glory.

I'm off to check out other postings. Take care!

Congradulations, ThanksMom. I am sure that you are pleased to have your daughter through BC!

Pat, I'll leave the pool to you. A toasty fire sounds better. My husband split wood today and he said the wood was really wet. Probably won't be good for burning this year. There's always next year.

Blondie, I did doze off for a while and when I went to bed, "Boing" Could not sleep. I was not sore or anything. Sometimes my neuropathy in my feet will keep me up but not last night. I gave up around 1:00 and went to do the dishes I had left in the sink. I thought that guilt pangs may have nagged at me. Still couldn't sleep. I do that, though, I just can't go to sleep sometimes. I'm tired and I am sleepy but that's it. I did it Monday night and Tuesday evening I fell aleep early, during NCIS, and slept until about 7:00. How nice it was.

I do move around while sewing. For one thing I have to iron a lot when sewing. Be other than that I have to move around. Yesterday, I took a break and vacuumed the house.

Good afternoon! I worked on pillowcases this morning. I quit for lunch and didn't go back. I am tired and was afraid I would make serious mistakes. I had planned to take a nap but decided I needed to work on the prayer chain schedule. Got that done. As V. says, I stay busy for a retired person.

It is rain and drizzle here in Maine, Marianne. It is also cooler weather.

NHMom, I'm a small country girl too. Right now we live on 50 acres on the coast of Maine. Love it! The downside is that we have to travel miles for anything at all.

P.S. don't believe everything Lisa says. I was all a figment of her imagination.
Comment by JM-ISmomx2 on October 9, 2009 at 9:48am
Good Morning Ladies - Wonderful, wonderful day. It's friday and heaven is smiling down on the little town of Anaheim. Welcome Florene you couldn't have picked a better group of women to have as support and be friends with. They sure know how to boost my moral. DC take a nap. We want you to stay healthy.Raineegal, hug that girl for me too. I think we will all be living viacariously through you today. And I'm only a short hop, skip and a jump from SD. Don't leave me out. Back later.

Pat, I will definitely need a nap! I keep yawning and yet sleep eludes me.

Have a good Friday everyone!
