Oh, Twins' Mom, I can understand having some stress with what you're preparing for right now, but the food sounds great! DH and I love Kosher hot dogs and I love Kosher pickles. :) I bet Challah with Lasagne is great, too. :) All my best to you as you get ready to host this event for everyone. I bet it'll be fun and once it's done, you'll look back with a "Whew!", but you'll be surprised as how well it went, too. You'll do fine..... Does your Dsis have water back? Hope so! I know the inconvenience, as it happened to us in Dec. :o

I feel like I've spend the afternoon with you, Harriet! :lol: I synced my FOCUS calendar with my email one! :!: I'm so impressed how this will simplify my life, will get certain closets, rooms done, which go unnoticed, until the last minute- if at all. :oops: It's amazing how the year goes by, I look forward to outdoors work, and now I'm so excited for the New Year- ALL year, and then looking into planning for 2015, at the end of the year. I think the Thanksgiving and Maintenance times will be so nice to trek through, too. :idea:

Sadie, I PM'ed you. I forgot to tell you that. Where's my mind? :roll: :?:

I'm drying flannel sheets, am washing towels, and then laundry will be done. Need to MT the DW, too. :idea: I want to take FOCUS ideas for freelance writing work, make a FOCUS calendar for that, based 1st of all, on deadlines, so this will be fun to try. Also, rather than focus an entire week on one item, I think I'll have specific days of the week where I do 1 or 2 specific things during that day, to keep on track. :idea: Having a day runner, email calendar, helps ease things so well.

We actually have sunshine here, it's very cold, but uplifting, and looks like the world's in a "Happy Mood." A dfriend of mine told me her son, when he was 19, got his head scalped on a swimming slide, so when his hair grew in,it grew in grey at age 19. My driend's 74, has naturally brown hair, no grey because in her family there is no greying, so she and her DD's have brown hair, but her DS has grey and has for 40 years now. I believe he's 53 now. I thought how unglued I'd have been to see my DS scalped. It'd make a terrific short story for a teenaged girl, who overcame her long hair growing back in grey.

My RI dfriend has 12" snow, a heated dog kennel, and they kept their electricity. I checked up on her, wondering how she was. It was 0* this a.m. heating up to 28* today. I have dfriends in colder parts of the country and a blogger writing friend in MN, so her blog posts are very interesting. It's cool, dry, and sunny here, but started out with heavy freezing fog.

I hope K & K have a wonderful cruise, too. :D :D

Ivy, dsis is in a nursing home, I'm turning off her water permanently so it won't freeze this winter.

I've petered out. I either sent emails or called or texted re remaining RSVPs. We had dinner with dkids and ds has packed up some food to take back to school tomorrow.

I'm calling it done for the night.

Twins, won't you have to have your dsister's place winterized like what Dee's DH does for all those mobile owners?

We went over the Christmas pictures in the camera and took them down to be printed off. I got a few groceries while I was out in the store. The numbers of people was huge and checkout was so slow. We ran a couple errands then came home.

It is still grey here. We never saw the sun today. Nice to have a quiet day for a change.

DNephews Birthday parties were fun. Lots of little ones running around. The weather was beautiful (high 50's) with bright sunshine so they were able to run/ride bikes/bounce on trampoline/climb club house/etc.......much needed after sugar high from cake & ice cream. With all the little ones running around, I had two people "standing guard" as I backed my car up to leave.

After the parties I delivered DGS16 last Christmas gift to him from us along with some gifts from DMIL.

The weather changed about 30 minutes ago. It has dropped 10 degrees in the last 30 minutes. DH is working to shut down MPB now. It will remain closed until Tuesday afternoon - and opening then is iffy depending on temp going above freezing. This winter has really been unusual for us with so many below freezing days.

Tomorrow we will load up the rest of the Christmas gifts stacked along the living room wall and take them with us to visit DSon. This will finally finish up Christmas for us. We will also be taking gifts to celebrate DGD3 birthday (Dec 21) that we missed during the ice storm. Tomorrow will be 8 hours of driving and 8 hours of visiting/playing. expect it to be a long tiring day, but OH sooooo worth it.

Cards due today = 3

Twins' Mom, I understand about the Dsis' water now. :idea:

OKay, Are you young enough that all that energy from so many youngsters running around don't wear you out, by the time you get back home? Or is is just a Gma Ivy thing? ;) It sounds like you had a fun and active day! :)

Nancy, If the pajama jeans ride too low for your tastes, there's this doo-hicky that goes around you, like a strapless bra, but it's wider, for hips. You wear it under your top, over your pants, so it looks like a layered shirt on you, to cover up the low-ride part. :idea: You might be able to find them at Walmart, too.

We had meatloaf for dinner with 1/2 baking potato, but I ate salad on the side. DH had cream-styled corn over his baked potato half. He loves cream-styled corn on stuff. I guess it's sorta like "corn gravy". :?:

We made the bed with the clean flannel sheets. We love clean sheets. Crawling into a fresh bed is so nice. :D :D

Twin's Mom, have you gotten the CPAP water reservoir back together yet? :?: I hope so!

I need to run and write the rest of the FOCUS calendar in my day runner. I'm on March or April now. Then, I'll do those leg warmers for dgd. :idea:

Have a GR8 night, Everybody! :D

from sunday
Its cooler. Only 95f. The sky is covered in smoke clouds though from fires on island offshore to the south. least I hope that is the only fire.
bought plastic for pool if I want/ need to do that again
church this morning. talked to some tai chi ladies. Also to someone back from 2 years as missionary, needs prayers to know the way to go from here, and a job opening.
emptied / washed K bins. Big wheely bins are now around the back as I dare not open front door again until much rain happens, or I get where the lock catches in door frame moved, or one corner of the house jacked up.
cut some weed treelets that dog gets tangled around. Cut back some branches too so I could get in under there. Still need to chop them up and bin them.
going to try for a nanna nap.
Just begin.
