&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Leave it to those Finns to mess up a good thing separate sauna areas for men and women what a bummer. LOL&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Lusi the lady would come in every day and read her news paper I think she conversed with me mainly to use her English skills, I thought the news paper was odd as she was the only one I ever seen do that. I have noticed here in the states hotels use dry saunas witch I hate I really do not know what benefit you can get from them setting in your own sweat.&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Pat made it to bingo alright but did not win anything she had a good time with her friends there and they do not allow smoking in the bingo hall. What was bothering me was she stays overnight at her brothers and he smokes but she has been very good about this so far.&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Shirley glad to hear that Sal is doing well prayers will still be going his way and I also hope he can change his life style.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Had the oil changed in my truck after work and got a tire fixed for the golf cart. When I got home I made 3 more batches of roasted pumpkin seeds and watched some TV a man here at work gave me a DVD to watch (Dec. 21, 2012 History’s Final Day) interesting but not something I would dwell on to much.&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Pat was at bingo and it was kind of nice to have that one night alone to do anything or nothing depending on how you feel. &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Lusi I laughed about your sauna episode as it brought back my first time running into this in Sweden. After being around it for a spell it was rather relaxing but still felt odd when a woman from Stockholm would come in every morning and read the news paper and carry on a very nice conversation with me in good English.&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Barb we have a lot of people here that come to work sick they say they need the money and can’t afford to take time off and with the economy the way it is they are deathly afraid of loosing there jobs.&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Have a nice day and God bless everyone.&lt;/span&gt;

I asked about the bike ride and he said to go for it but get myself ready in the next 8 months to do it. He is a real nice doctor they live just down the road from use and we meet sometimes when walking he and his wife have both lost a great deal of weight I rather like that as my last doctor was very overweight and had bypass surgery several times guess it’s a mind thing.&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;DW is feeling better every day she is going to bingo to night first time since this all started she has been doing some leg and upper body exercises I laid out for her and she said she feels stronger. SHE STILL IS NOT SMOKING!!!!!!! But I catch myself looking for signs of it everyday wish I could get over that feeling, maybe time will put a stop to that.&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;I posted a couple of recipes yesterday on the RTR both are really good but sorry to say the Pumpkin muffins are not to healthy maybe someone can look at it and suggest a healthier way of doing them. The roasted pumpkin seeds are great can never make enough of them as the girls eat them as fast as they are made I make hot ones for myself as they seem to stay out of them. LOL&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Sue wish your dad a happy birthday from all of use and prayers are going out for your coworkers little daughter please keep use informed how she is doing.&lt;/span&gt;

DW informed me that she would be making the gravy this year as I did not make enough last year and I make mine with the giblets how was I to know that some people do not eat giblet gravy? LOL&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Sorry I can not respond to everyone they seem to be having a problem on the floor I must look into.&lt;/span&gt;

LOL&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;DW went to the heart doctor yesterday and everything is coming along fine there just renewed one of her meds and told her to come back in 6 months, now that I write that it doesn’t seem right need to check that with her as she went alone to this meeting.&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Pat I cut peeled and diced the pumpkin into 1 ½ inch cubes and then steamed them then pressed them through a ricer worked great just a lot of work for what you get. &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;With Kenny’s seeds you might start 3 of them in a glass with paper towels stuffed in it so he can see them start sprouting then start one hill in the garden next spring let it get 3 or 4 pumpkins started but pinch off any other buds that come on and cut back wandering vines.&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;We have high winds this morning with some moisture falling really feels cold out but weather man says this is about normal for this time of year.&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Pat and I have somehow been volunteered to make Thanksgiving dinner again this year I thought we were taking turns but I like the leftovers anyway, so far we have 15 people coming over might be a few more showing up later in the day should be fun.&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Shirley I hope your eye is doing better today so you can get back with the ladies at the water aerobics classes I really think it would help if you socialized more. JMHO Prayers going out for Sal sounds like he is rather young to be having this type of problem or is there other things involved.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;We had so many pumpkins this year I got the brainstorm to puree and freeze them for the coming year, well let me tell you it is a lot of work think we did about half of them got 8 pts. and told Pat to forget the rest we could buy canned cheaper. LOL We did make a batch of Pumpkin muffins that are great I must remember to post the recipe when I get home also have 2 quart bags of seeds to roast will be doing that this evening I hope.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;JoLynn so sorry to hear that your mother is sick good that she is getting better prayers will be said for her. I hope you can get the farm paper work appealed they make things so complicated that it takes a lawyer to fill it out.&lt;/span&gt;

I know most of us will be joining you soon, but so far, we&amp;#39;re still having&amp;nbsp;a great extended Fall season.&amp;nbsp; Sunny day, here with temps in the 60s today.&amp;nbsp; DH is happy to have another day&amp;nbsp;outside doing the rest of Fall clean up and I know Tom&amp;#39;s planning&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;using part of th day&amp;nbsp;to enjoy&amp;nbsp;a ride on his mororcycle.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I hope he takes a ride here this afternoon.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Pat went to the doctor yesterday and DD was with her taking notes as I could not make it. Pat liked the doctor so that’s a thumbs up they did a great deal considering it was her first visit. He raised her thyroid medication and put her back on 10 units of insulin but she must take it by 8 in the morning, he also put her back on blood pressure medication and was rather surprised that they did not have her on an antibiotic so there running more tests and she goes back in a month. She must keep a daily journal on her BS reading to take back with her next month also. She still is not smoking and I cleaned her car out and hosed it down with Frebreez that helped the last time and she is still doing the weights and I think it is helping.&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;The chiropractor took care of my sore nick and I did not go to the doctor as my BP tests come back 122/70 at home and 122/80 at his office so if that’s good nothing to worry about right?&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Lusi keep up the good work I have lost 1 lb. this past week have noticed that my portion sizes have gotten larger again with DW doing the cooking again must watch that very carefully but I have gotten off the hot chocolate every morning that I was doing everyday.&lt;/span&gt;

Watch it with the iron tablets if you take to much it can hurt your liver function at least that is what I have read.&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Shirley loved the sight you posted and that your relative’s home became part of the historical area do you remember this house from years ago. Glad to see you are feeling a little better and that you are getting out with other people keep doing that I think it will help with the depression also. I think what you are doing with the computer is good for you keeps your mind active and love the idea of having DH picture on there I keep a picture of DW on my night stand do people think that is odd?&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Verna I hope your hand feels better today I get those twinges in my hands at time they really hurt and ditto on the twit statement.

There are 7 families there and some of there kids are starting families of there own so it adds up to a lot of people. I always compare them with the Beverley Hillbillies they raise horses for rodeo events and live off the land mostly when we go up for a visit they will drop whatever they are doing and take use out fishing, hunting or whatever is going on in the area at the time. They seem to live by a much different set of priorities than most people but they also seem to be much happier.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It looks like it will be another nice Fall weekend, here.&amp;nbsp; Sunny and temps in the 60s, we can&amp;#39;t ask for more than that in November. :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Good news for us, Ken called and asked if we would pick up the trips from the school bus, yesterday.&amp;nbsp; It was so nice seeing them after so long.&amp;nbsp; They looked as though they grew two inches and Gabi is letting her hair grow long.&amp;nbsp; She looks so cute.&amp;nbsp; The trips were so happy to see us and we all had such a nice time.&amp;nbsp; Hope we&amp;#39;ll be getting more time together.&amp;nbsp; The trips didn&amp;#39;t want to go home. When their DD came to pick them up, they asked if they could spend the night with us.&amp;nbsp; LOL&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tonight we baby sit too, but a&amp;nbsp; little bundle of fur.&amp;nbsp; For everyone who has so much fun with their little, or sometimes&amp;nbsp;not so little&amp;nbsp;pets, I wish you could see how cute Gizmo is.&amp;nbsp; LOL&amp;nbsp; He&amp;#39;s a Papillon and&amp;nbsp;very smart and well behaved.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We&amp;#39;ve watched him before with no problems.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;He belongs to Tom&amp;#39;s friend&amp;nbsp;Laura. &amp;nbsp; So Gizmo will be spending the night here.&amp;nbsp; DH&amp;nbsp;will want to go buy &amp;nbsp;one as soon as he&amp;#39;s gone.&amp;nbsp; lol&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;This will be fun.....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Will check the last half of yesterday&amp;#39;s posts the next time I check on.&amp;nbsp; Hope everyone will have a nice weekend.&amp;nbsp; Take care and God bless.

Doctor has lowered her insulin shot down to 5 units and her BS test came out at 101 that’s the best I’ve seen since she got home has been running 35 for low or 300 for high.&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Sue I looked up the 1950’s house you were talking about and its not that far from use also think I will take DW there next spring sounds like it would be fun.&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Marti I pray that Joe feels better after being able to get out and do a little around the yard. In just the little time DW has been laid up she started crying one day when I got home stating she is sick of being so weak that it took her all morning just to get the dish washer loaded. She has started doing some leg lifts and arm exercises with 1 lb. weights told her she has not done anything physical since the back operation 2 years ago so it’s going to take time.&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Jo Ann glad to see DH got something, I really enjoy doing the leaves with mine one thing I forgot to mention is using the wind to your advantage but your DH will find that out the first time he uses it. LOL Hope you get the OK from Ken on the presents for the trips I just can’t imagine needing to do this for are GK we have them make out a list and then get something from that. Sometimes if it’s a good year we get everything on the list. LOL&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Barb I know you had a good time yesterday did you get some good sales I hate to think of doing Christmas shopping DW normally is the one doing this and its not going to happen this year. I used up all my vacation during the last month so do not have any idea when shopping will get done.&lt;/span&gt;

The leaf blower I got is the Echo backpack model gas operated cost around $250 it is not a vacuum just a blower works great if the leaves are dry. If you have a very large yard I would go to the next one bigger I chose this one as it weighs 13 lbs. the next bigger is 22 lbs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.echo-usa.com/product.asp?Model=PB-265L&amp;amp;Category=POWERBLOWER"&gt;&lt;font color="#800080"&gt;http://www.echo-usa.com/product.asp?Model=PB-265L&amp;amp;Category=POWERBLOWER&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;DDiL wants me to sew new curtains for Nicole’s bedroom so we finally got the sewing machine out of the Morton building and down stairs might get that done sometime this week or at lest by the weekend.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;I think Pat is getting mad at me because if she moans or groans I’m right there asking her if she is alright. LOL&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;Maureen DW has a problem in that her BS bounces up and down so much gets really low and then she feels sick and sweats like a butcher. The doctor said she should try just the one shot per day to see if it would work with the oral medication but I don’t think its working. The next alternative is the one shot of 10 units at night and then a shot of 2 units at meal times she will need to go back to doctor when the blood work is done to have this setup.&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;LINE-HEIGHT:115%;FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Arial&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;"&gt;I don’t know what your yard is like but we have open country so I bought an Echo leaf blower backpack model that works great for getting rid of the leaves but I just blow them of into the country side, I think you should get the containers saves so much time. LOL &lt;/span&gt;

Looks like a decent day here for the Trick or Treaters. Our town does not have any kind of kids &amp;quot;event&amp;quot; so the kids still go door to door. With all the crime here in the last year maybe there won;t be too many. We&amp;#39;ll see...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Marti, I&amp;#39;m so glad you are feeling better. I bet you did have the H1N1. Around here it&amp;#39;s seems to be mostly teens and children who get really sick from it. A 5 year old just died this week. I hope you can straighten out the medical billing mess. My dad also had the wrong secondary insurance earlier this year but I made copies of the correct insurance card and mailed it back to the doctor or hospital. I never heard about it again. I hope yours is fixed easily.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I live in north central Texas close to Dallas.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m 67 years young.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;ve been widowed since March 2003.&amp;nbsp; I joined this group sometime after that but Shirley/Groucho and I have been friends longer than that.&amp;nbsp; We met on an internet recipe pen pal group here and found we had much in common.&amp;nbsp; I love to bake and it shows....!&lt;img src="http://community.tasteofhome.com/emoticons/emotion-6.gif" alt="Sad" /&gt;&amp;nbsp; I have two children, son and daughter, two grandchildren and two great grandchildren.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m a retired nurse.&amp;nbsp; I have some physical issues that slow me down, but they don&amp;#39;t stop me.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m active in several venues in my church.&amp;nbsp; Have a four legged fur princess named Molly and she&amp;#39;s a joy to me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think you&amp;#39;ll find this group of friends one of the best anywhere.&amp;nbsp; We all love and care about each other.&amp;nbsp; I treasure each friendship here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OK...someone else&amp;#39;s turn now!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A sunny day with a high of 64 here, today and almost 70 tomorrow.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Leaving early for our Thursday with Mom.&amp;nbsp; Dsis and I will take her for her labs, for breakfast, shopping and then back home.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;nbsp;really wish I could&amp;nbsp;stay home today, but Mom&amp;#39;s scheduled for labs before her doctor apmt next week.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m still having tummy problems, so I&amp;#39;m not planning to stay and visit.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;d like to get home as early as I can. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was hoping to hear from Marti and Viny this morning, but maybe it&amp;#39;s just too early. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope everyone will have a nice day, today.&amp;nbsp; God bless. Jo Ann&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Its cool here this morning...50s ...but will reach mid 70s by afternoon. But there&amp;#39;s no rain which is good. That starts back up tomorrow!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks to everyone for the prayers for Max, the young man I emailed y&amp;#39;all about.&amp;nbsp; Found out from my cousin this morning they started treating him last night for endocarditis. He was also able to eat a little bit, so hopefully he&amp;#39;ll start feeling better soon. I will keep y&amp;#39;all posted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m feeling better after my procedure last week, just get tired easily but thats nothing new! I have followups with both docs next week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not much else to report this early in the morning. Talk to y&amp;#39;all later.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Good morning everyone PAT is home they released her late last night. The tests show that that area of her heart is dead so there is nothing they can do at the hospital and will control it with oral medication at home. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you all for your prayers hopefully will get back later have much to do today with doctor appointments, buying more medication, and food. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Viny&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
