Hi Ernie ~

Virus very strong here.  12,000 new cases in Ohio today.  I made my way to a great store ~ Heinens and did a bit of shopping.  In and out with mask and gloves in 15 minutes.

Plan to go to youngest daughter's home.  Masks and we will eat socially distanced.  Let's pray the vaccine comes soon and life will return to some kind of normalcy soon.

Morning Kitty.  Glad Brian has a worthwhile project to work on.  I have only tents for

garages because of the increased tax assessments. 

Your gnome should look good, my daughter had some of those.  I got a windmill this

Fall and put clear coat on it but it's still in the basement.  I have to find a slice of a tree

to weigh it down.

Sounds like you and Brian are getting settled in.

Have a good day.

Ernie

Morning Susan.  We shopped for groceries yesterday at Wegmans, crowded even at 11 AM on Monday.

Hope we don't have to go back before Thanksgiving.  I hope to do our little bit of Christmas

shopping in local stores because they're in so much trouble.

Our daughter's family will be coming here for Thanksgiving.

Don't know how many new cases here.  PA has new travel restrictions

so can't go help brother and his wife.  NY has them but don't apply to

bordering states.  Maybe lifted after Thanksgiving.

Hope your day is good.

Ernie

Partly sunny/partly cloudy depending on how you look at it....almost finished with the gnome and a little more active yesterday....not sure about today tho.....

just thought I would let you know the sun came out and the sky is blue....at least for a little while...

Hi Ernie ~

Two more floor panels and then transition strips at each end.  So, so ready to be done.  Knee is ready for a break!

Today, begins the baking of the pumpkin bread and baked cinnamon apples for Bronwen.  Tomorrow, will be stuffing and scalloped corn.  Hopefully, lots of leftovers.

Enjoy the day with family ~  I think each family bubble has to make their own decision.  Many whom I know, are not even gathering.  Jim and I plan to wear our masks and do social distancing when we eat.

Massive testing in England (just watching on TV)  Why not here in the US?

Susan

Morning Kitty.  We had sunshine part of Tuesday.  Part of Brandy's walk.  We are

in the 50s Thursday and Friday, not much sun though. 

Have to get the backhoe ready to go in for warranty work.  One of the cylinders

for the bucket leaks internally. 

Have a good day.

Ernie

Morning Susan.  We have one daughter and her family coming for dinner and taking

a plate to our other daughter.  Looks like we will need another apple pie so I will have to battle

through the crowded Wegmans again. 

We never did get one room floor done, still have to get it done sometime.  Transfer strips between

the kitchen and dining room are wearing down.  Will have to replace it. 

I think we are only supposed to be tested if we have symptoms.  If a test was easy I could go help

my brother.  Might be what I have to do eventually.  Don't want to sit in the lines and then go to

get the results. 

Have a good day.

Ernie

Good morning Ernie....we had some sun yesterday before it got cloudy...today clouds and rain....only agenda is PT...that gets a little boring...enough already....if I have to stay inside...I am so grateful that I don't smoke anymore...this place would stink and I wouldn't even know it....gratitude for the day....

Dear Kitty ~

Good morning.  Frustrated in Avon Lake.  Today is my 11 year and 1 day celebration over ciggies....  Can't even BEGIN to figure out how to post it.  So, I will announce to you and Ernie and our lurking friends that my journey began the day before Thanksgiving...that many years ago.....  Many reasons to quit...a husband with vascular disease (could I be an example for him), a really sore tongue, grandchildren coming and sneaking a ciggie is getting very old...  So, I just put them down and found our wonderful Forum.  First, the Nopevember friends and later when it quit existing, the Sensational Senior group.  Thank you for picking me up and the Forum for saving my life!

All is well.  Pumpkin bread to make.  ((hugs))  Happy Turkey Day.  Love, Susan
