Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
glad - dog shows are the best!!!
What a great idea for having some fun with a difficult situation in a very difficult year!
I am rather enjoying laying in bed, watching news, and not having to get up to start prepping a large family dinner.
And a mayor that a few days ago stated he was going to zoom with his wife and daughter today. He had a change of heart and flew to Mississippi
yesterday to be with wife and daughter. Now many disgruntled and calls for resignation. I get it, disappointing for sure, and quite the hypocrite!😠
I will enjoy the parade, held virtually, and the dog show today!
So very sad.
Horribly tragic accident.
My daughter is learning to drive in the snow!
She said had to drive to Parker to Honey Baked Ham and that it wasn’t too far of a drive. She uses GPS to find everything.
Honey Baked Ham wasn’t offering sides so she went to Whole Foods for sides.
I am hoping my oldest daughter can join us tomorrow but she suffers with her Crohn’s disease and she is having a tough time getting her diabetes under control. She will let us know in the morning.
I have cooked holiday meals for decades. This year I am doing Whole Foods.
I started prep for my dinner tonight, made cranberry relish to go with my cornish hens tomorrow. It will be different, no doubt, but I will be just fine. Absolutely no emotional reaction other than appreciating my life, my children and that I do not have mental issues that would cause such a terrible depression that will be experienced by some.
Just making the relish was different. I usually make a full bag of cranberries, tonight just half of it. Found out my blender does better with larger quantities. LOL!
And the geese, lots of them, fly and make their honks ALL NIGHT LONG!
I had the old vaccine about four years ago. Then the new one came out and I was told I should get that one. The new one is supposed to be much more effective. I know people that have had a very difficult time with getting shingles. I sure don't want it either!😳
Yuck! That sounds awful. I hope that I don’t get side effects when I get the second shot in December.
That’s good! I did want to get the shot. Hubby really suffered with his case of shingles.
Now, my sig-other had both shots. Only side effect was his shot arm was pretty sore.
All in all, was so glad I did have the Shingle shots.
The doctor said the shingles vaccine could make me feel kind of funky. Have any of you experienced any negative side effects from the vaccine?
There are coyotes out at 4 a.m., so no walks. 🦊🦊🦊
You stay home too, ok?
Unless you are going out for a slab....
People are starting to go toilet paper crazy here again. Ye gads!
Keep up the eye drops! Good on you! 🦙️🦙️🦙️
👁 Do you put the drops in only the one right eye, or both? 👀
I wonder "if you used to be able to read without glasses," then why did get you, I presume, cataract surgeries?
Typo, should read My husband, two daughters and I went to midnight Mass at St. Louis Cathedral.
My mother was christened at St. Louis Cathedral. My grandparents lived in the French Quarter for awhile. Mom was born in 1925 in their home with a midwife.
It is a beautiful cathedral. The midnight Mass at the cathedral for Christmas is simply beautiful.
The choir is magnificent. Baby Jesus is placed in the nativity setting at midnight.
As you know, my youngest daughter moved to Denver. She was still living here at Christmas. Christmas Eve we went out for dinner, then went to see the incredible decorations at the Roosevelt Hotel and then my husband and daughters went to midnight Mass. Ahhh, pre Covid days.
I bet your embroidery of the cathedral is beautiful!
So I used the photos and a NOLA placemat I bought for an embroidery design. B/c I wanted a real picture and not an outline, I used crewel embroidery, with crewel thread.
It took quite a while, but I was pleased with the results except that the spire for some reason wouldn't stand straight. I redid the embroidery, but still couldn't get it straight . So I considered that to be the one flaw that some needleworkers consider de tour for certain projects.
