Hi Owls and friends.
Had a good breakfast and talk with DS this morning. He paid which is always nice.
This afternoon I finished another project and started my baby blanket. Know a couple relatives who are expecting but not sure if I'll have it done in time for them. If I don't I'll just put it away for another time.
Lin, thank you for your post on roll callers about grief. Unfortunately this was a person who has experienced grief but doesn't seem to understand that each person is different.
My neighbor has invited me over for supper so no cooking for me today. Had a pear and some pretzels for lunch because I was still pretty full from breakfast. Had french toast and bacon for breakfast.
Talked with my sister in law for almost an hour this afternoon. She always has lots of family news to share. Talked with my #1 son last night. They're getting things arranged for when she has surgery. I will be going to Rochester (Mayo) the morning of surgery and being with him while she's having the operation. They have reserved a hotel room for me so I don't have to drive home when she's done. Ozzie is going to stay at DD. He won't like it but my SIL works from home so someone will be with him the whole day.
Gotta go.

Hope that all goes really well.
DH wanted to go to the mall before it becomes the maul for a new Sleep number pillow. I went to J Jill, but the chenille cable sweaters in the catalog are not in yet. Next door was SoftSurrounds which finally had the soft fabric Buffalo check tunic in muted red that I tried to find three weeks ago…sold out except for one that fit and was on sale. Yea. Double yea because it was a medium! My tops from Chicos last month had to be exchanged for size 1…definitely size creep larger in their stuff. We wandered Barnes and Noble, then came home.
I am at 7 pounds down since mid August and stuck again. Everything fits again and some pants that get larger as I wear them have extra button further over.
DH put three pounds back the first day off his diet but has stayed there. We are eating light breakfast and lunch and 500 cal suppers plus a cookie or piece of chocolate.
Got our Xmas box early from NY family…with a very busy red and white Christmas top to wear before Christmas.they told her it ran small….she got xtra large and the shoulders hang and the sleeves cover half my fingers ! But it is the perfect nice loose winter PJ top that I really need! Not going to tell her that. I will be sure to get size worked into a conversation before next Christmas.

Betty good that you talked to #1 son and know what is happening and I know they are glad you are going to be there for them. I like it when plans are finally set, don't you?
Ozzie will miss you but will be so excited when you get back. Know you will miss him,too. He is such an adorable dog, how could you not. I love that you get to go to eat and my friend that just lost her DH has been invited to her neighbor's a lot too. she is loving it. said she is getting to eat different things than she would cook.
I watched a show about Christmas ugly sweaters parties. Funny but I thought that some of the sweaters were really pretty. Umm what do I know?
My Schwan order is coming at same time but now it is dark out. I delivered my neighbor's order to them. We had a couple of good sales so they were surprised when I told them the total. Good time to order quite a few things and with us both ordering on the same order we did okay. Some of my stuff didn't need to go in freezer so I was fine. Got the ham and the bacon and some American cheese so that all just went in fridge part. Thank goodness. I may not have to order after Thanksgiving.

evening owls, we stayed home today and this evening.Don has a cold.at lunch he said he did not know how he felt about going out for dinner tonight.I said I wondered about that,we will just stay home.
I told him,He would wear a mask in and take it off to eat,he would be exposing other people.
Don had a couple of short naps today,he came upstairs from watching his program and said he held his hands under his nose for about 15 minutes and his nose just dripped into it.
I was down stairs a gain today,went through some totes and still cannot find that pattern it is mostly 2 and 1/2 inch squares and has 4 rectangles in it.it is a small table mat.I made one last year so I do have something to go bye.
not much going on for this weekend. we would have gone out to eat,afterwards we would have gone to the holiday fair,maybe Sunday.phyl

Hello everyone
Christmas deco is finished. Yay. I did enjoy setting it up. I like the way I changed things around. Found out today DD#2 from Nashville will be here December 23-26. Yay. All 4 of us together. I want to plan a Christmas Eve outing. Glad the last 2 times she was here we all got along. The horrible Mother’s Day needed to happen to set how we all need to treat each other. Lol
Hubby’s cousin passed away today. He was 75. Not sure yet when the funeral is. We may have a few family members out of state staying here.
Today went to Sam’s club, Best Buy, CVS and the dollar store. Was nice to be out and about. Wore a mask the whole time. Takes 2 weeks for the booster to provide good immunity.
Betty- that’s good you will be there for the surgery.
Lin- you had a nice day. Seven pounds is wonderful. It’s nice that clothes fit better.
