Good Movie and Good Time!

Thank you, Les, for thinking of this, and thank you to Jacquie for taking me!  

We just got a Winter Storm advisory for tomorrow.  The last one we had, after all the closings and delays a few days ago, gave us some very, very slight flurries here.  I am hoping they are wrong again for our area.  This morning we had freezing fog.

Take care and stay safe.  Life is good, be kind.  And God Bless America!

Time For Some Updates

I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.  Les and I are okayish here.

I have been busy keeping up with things and taking care of some projects.  And of course, decorating. 

Thanksgiving was very nice.  Jacquie, Chris, and the girls all came and we had a very nice dinner and visit.

Then the next afternoon Jacquie, Jordan, and Ellie came over to help with decorating.  J & J got the trees moved out and put together.  Then they helped me finish with the outside decorations.  I had bought new lighted garland that I needed help with.  Ellie took care of decorating for Mr. Gnome.  She did a great job!

Then over the weekend I got both trees decorated and other small decorations set out.  We have some that have been made by family members, some passed down to us from grandparents, and some we've collected from traveling.

I got a bunch of errands done, mailed cards and packages, and made phone calls and did "desk stuff".  Also managed to get my hair trimmed.

Yesterday we started getting Winter storm alerts and warnings.  Our area is on the edge of the system.  So far all we've gotten was a flurry of snow and it's cold and wet.  Charlie's and Ellie's schools closed for today though.  Farther North, there is more snow and roads and covered.

Les and I have started watching our favorite Christmas  movies.  And, yes, "Die Hard" was the first one!  We've added another movie to our "list" and consider the first "Lethal Weapon" movie also a Christmas movie.

Tomorrow morning Jacquie is taking me to see the new "Wicked" movie!  Fun!

Take care of yourselves and stay safe.  Life is good.  Be kind, and God Bless America!

Purrs

It's been a while since I've posted.  So here is the update.

Yes, I did get my new hearing aids and I like them very much.  I have also had a follow-up with the Audiologist for some fine tuning that she wanted.  I see her again in January.

Les did go for the heart procedure, but the problem was not resolved due to it not sustaining long enough.  The doctor said he had worked on Les so long that it was time to stop.  Les sees him again in January.  We'll see what happens then.  Les is "doing alright" if you ask him.  We are okayish.

Les got a new smaller "rollator" walker that I can fold up and get in the car for him.  Jordan came over and put it together.  Thank you, Jordan!  Les is getting around inside okay with his larger one that Jordan also put together. 

We have had frost a couple times, leaves are still falling down.  The yard guys have started doing leaf cleanup when they come to edge, trim, and mow.  The sprinkler system has been turned off.  I have emptied the porch pots and put those away and put protectant on the antique chairs that we use for plant stands on the porch.  I have also cut back the Liriope and the Day Lilies.

I have continued with some cleaning jobs and am almost done with Christmas shopping. Of course, this week is devoted to Thanksgiving preparations!  The turkey is in the refrigerator thawing.

Finnigan has started wanting to snuggle on my shoulder again and has been a little clingy.  He follows me and "asks" for me to sit so he can snuggle.  He has been playing more, too.

Stay safe, take care of yourselves, and be kind.  God Bless America!

Fall in Virginia

We have not had any frost yet, but the temperatures have been in the low-40's a few times.  Had to turn the heat on.  Things are still green, and blooming, and leaves are coming down.

This is the other side of the yard.  As you can see the grass is growing.  The guys came and put down a Fall treatment this past week for fertilizer and weed killer. And our other guys have been coming to mow.  Next month they will start taking care of the leaves.

I am keeping up with the usual daily things and have decided to do one extra project a day if possible.  So far the bedroom has had a deep cleaning and both bathrooms have been fully scrubbed and cleaned top to bottom. 

Today is dedicated to smaller projects, like helping Les swap out his clothes and get them put away.  I also swapped out our jackets in the hall closet.  And I did my Vera purse, too.  I save my favorite Vera bags and swap out often.

I have an appointment to get my new hearing aids this week.  Les will be going for lab work that needs to be done prior to the cardiac ablation.  And he has an appointment with one of his other doctors.

Take care of yourselves and stay safe.  Life is still good.  Be kind.  And God Bless America!

Yes, Reading!

 

Stay safe, be kind, and God Bless America!

Fall

 

Just saying HI!.  We're okayish here.

Be kind.  God Bless America!

Hey!

 

While out at a doctor appointment the other morning, this cheerful little guy showed up on our porch!  Thank you, Jacquie!

We are currently having rain and wind.  A lot of areas closer to water around us are having flooding.  It's gotten a little warmer and more humid and I turned the A/C back on. Leaves are not their usual pretty colors, but they are coming down.  It was a hard Summer all around.

Our girls are doing well and everyone is busy.

Take care of yourselves and stay safe.  Be kind.  And God Bless America!
