Hi Ernie ~

Just a gray day here.....Think i've caught a bug from the almost three year old Granddaughter.  Just going to take it easy and be comfy.  A grey sky day.......with maybe rain later.

Will be thinking of our dear friend, Kitty, tomorrow.

((hugs))  Susan

Morning Kitty.  Fall is here but still might get warm again.  I'm closing the pool, finishing this morn.

The pine needles are falling and they cause algae in the pool.  Also, they fill the rain gutters so will be

cleaning out daughter's and mine.

Think we got about an inch of rain. 

Speed Queens have probably gone up since we and our daughter both got one.  Last GE we had we had to

reset it all the time because lightning pulses or just electrical pulses on the line sent it into error mode.

Eventually the control board went and had to be purchased with the motor it was mounted on, for $250.

My brother was showing one out in his junk area with the same issue.

Will pray you and the surgeon do well today.

Ernie

Morning Susan.  Sorry you got a cold.  Today is my granddaughter's 17th birthday so we will

see all our grands today or soon.  We all love our kids and our grands.

We had quite a bit of sun yesterday, solar lights that have no shade are still on this morn.

I also pray the surgery goes well.

Have a good day.

Ernie

thanks Ernie.....a stressful day till they knock me out for one o'clock....and I am very thirsty.....a big water drinker and none since midnight...except for my pills....I won't be on for a week or so....so take care....

Dear Ernie ~

Praying for our Miss Kitty too ~ Hopefully, this is going to be an answer to all of her back pain/problems.

A nice day here to begin with....now a bit cloudy.  Jim playing golf if it doesn't rain.

Just ordered Aldi delivery for groceries.  Don't feel like going out and subjecting others to this cold.  Sudafed has helped the coughing/drainage.  No temperature so I'm thinking "not COVID".   What a world we now live in.   

Have a wedding this weekend (one of those YOU HAVE TO GO).  Not looking forward to it at all.  An outside wedding venue......so that will be good.....not sure how they will handle cocktails and I'm sure dinner will be held inside.  I'm friends and next door neighbor with the Mother of the Bride.  She is insisting we sit at the head table with her....... Like I said, it's a non negotiable.   Hope my cold improves....or whatever it is!!!!

((hugs))  Susan

Thinking of you today.... Calling on Ocean Spirit and prayers to guide you through this.  Surgery is no fun....but just think of how living pain free will be for you and Brian.

Take care, Miss Kitty...know that you are loved by many.

((hugs))  Susan

Morning Kitty.  I'm certain all went great and hope it's the cure.  I have relatives that had back surgery but at younger age,

not me yet.  I have no problems with my back yet.  Have arthritis in feet and one knee.  Put Diclofenac lotion on my feet

and Brandy and I both take Glucosamine.  Can only walk now, jogged for many years up until 2016.

We went to a birthday dinner for our granddaughter and have a birthday party here for her next week.

I just ate from the salad bar, my glucose readings are finally dropping last couple days.

Hope you are comfortable.

Ernie

Morning Susan.  Rainy here again this morning so the grass seed I planted getting plenty of rain.

Hope to get out on our walk just a little late. 

At least it's a wedding and not a funeral.  I've had so many old ex-classmates, ex-coworkers die.  Not that I go

to the funerals, I seldom know until later.

Have to go get some more concrete blocks today to hold the pool cover on the pool.  Have some new ones out

there but need about 8 more.  Used the old ones down below new drainage ditch, figured new ones would be

nicer out here on the pool.  Using some of the larger flower pots right now.

Have a good day.

Ernie

Hi Ernie....

A funny thing happened on the way to the Forum..... Well, not really funny.

Yesterday, I discovered thru my Norton anti-viral application, that 27 of my saved Google passwords/Chrome had been compromised.  Not sure what exactly is meant by that....someone can use them, I surmise.  So, I spent copious amount of time deleting all of the ones that were compromised.    

So, fast forward to today, and I can't log into the Forum.  They've given me a new password of nothing that makes sense... Guess I'll have to figure out a different one.....  Usually, I use family names .  LOL

Sounds like you are ready for Fall and the pool is now closed.  The leaves are just a hint of color.  We have a wedding tomorrow that I'm dreading....mask and social distancing for sure.

Thinking of our Miss Kitty....she's probably just now waking up from the anesthesia...

Take care.  Enjoy the week-end.  I'll chat Monday.   Susan

Dear Miss Kitty ~

You are probably just waking up.  I hope the pain is tolerable.  Don't be so brave....and take what they offer to you.  I always worried about addiction.....but you won't be on it all that long.

Thinking of you and happy that this is OVER for you and Brian.

Be a good patient...... ((((hugs))))
