Good morning Kitty.  More light snow here this morn.  Grandson will be going home today.

I have to go down to the farm tomorrow to take brother to a doctor appt.  My wife has a

doctor appt here tomorrow.  My sister still has bronchitis and she's still at her home in

Montoursville, PA.  Has been fun having grandson here and the 3 of us playing the board

game, sequence. 

Heated mats on the deck and steps are working great.  I need to get generator gas today,

a prescription pick up, take grandson home, take care of our garbage and daughter's.  Few

other things. 

The rear of the Subaru Baja is a little noisy and loose so ordered new struts on the black Friday

discount.  Looked back at my records and the rear ones I replaced 6 years ago were about half

the price of stock Subaru ones or Monroe so I guess I got my moneys worth.  Thought Gabriel to

be a good product but seems to be less quality and cheaper.  So will need to replace them out in

the cold.  At least have had some time to adapt to the new season. 

I remember you used to have shell projects out on the island.

Have a great day Kitty.  You must have some of your shell creations around the house.

Good morning ....it is 19 degrees here this morning but the sunrise was so beautiful and it turned our hilltop red....no leaves but the trees looked so beautiful....no agenda too cold to go outside for anything....glad we can have a choice....hope your day is wonderful altho it is cold

Good morning, dear friends in the Sensational Senior group ~

Just wanted to drop in and say "hi" and hope that you all had a lovely Thanksgiving Day and week-end.

Actually, I celebrated 12 years, 6 days, of being nicotine free.  I remember it well.  The day before Thanksgiving and I didn't know how I was going to survive without a ciggie.....and being around the grandchildren.  I just put them down and thankfully, never picked up another one.

A smathering of snow on the ground.  Jim has been sick for two weeks with a cough and now I've come down with it.  Sad to say, we are supposed to do something overnight with my children for my birthday ~ not sure how that will work out.

Wishing you all a happy beginning of December.  ((hugs))  Susan

12 years is so wonderful be proud....I am every day...of course  I still don't believe I did this wonderful thing....we did have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I am so grateful for all of our children....and proud that they like each other....hugs to all

Thank you, dear Kitty.  YOU were instrumental in keeping me on track and I thank you every day for that.  My birthday plans for this week-end with the children (away for the week-end) has been foiled.  I have such a cough and congestion.  Waiting for an online virtual visit with the Cleveland Clinic.  Son-in-law found out this afternoon that he has COVID.   So, on we go...... one foot in front of the other!   Jim had this for two weeks....non stop coughing....and I'm decently sure he gave it to me!  

Hugs across the miles.   Susan

I am so sorry you guys are having health issues...get checked and tested quickly please and keep us posted....

Good morning Kitty.  Went south and worked on the farm yesterday.  Cleaned up all the kitty liter

boxes and took about 20 buckets left over from my sisters work over to the tree line and dumped it.

Burned the trash like they do down there and picked up all the cat food cans and bagged them. 

Went down to brothers old home and got a ham radio antenna down off the tower and installed

it up at the farm house for him.  His old radio got cat urine in it and doesn't work very well so he's

thinking about getting a new one.  He helped me many times with antennas, vehicles and stuff so I'm

happy to be able to help him with stuff sometimes.  It's a pain when he doesn't do things that we all

know he could for himself and his surroundings. 

Susan is right you helped many stay quit of smoking.  Tried to my self.  Think we all paid it forward best

we could.  I remember all the people you had on this blog.  I'm about to come up on 15 years when I didn't

know how I was going to make it the next 15 hours.  We had the Chantix blog also.  John, Barb, Queenie,

and hundreds of others.

Have a good day Kitty.

Ernie.

Good morning Susan.  Hope Finn is still improving after surgery.  Congrats on your 12

years.  Sorry your family is sick, hope all get well soon.  My sister has gone home with

Bronchitis pneumonia. from taking care of our brother and his wife.  She's bee sick for

couple weeks now.  I went down to the farm and helped them some.

Take care Susan.

Ernie

Cute pictures of all of the pups.   Feel like I was run over by a Mack truck....lol   I guess the medicine takes time.  i'm doing nothing.  Get up from the bed and go to the couch.  Lots of plans now cancelled.  Jim surprised me with Andrea Bocelli tickets ~ that is out.   Chris has COVID, so our week-end get away with the family is put on hold.

Many things worse than this!  Thanks for your well wishes.  Susan

Good morning Susan.  Sorry you and your family are sick.  I got a cold few weeks ago but wasn't that bad.

Glad I didn't go down to the farm while my sister was there and catch that Bronchitis.  But then my broter

and his wife didn't catch it and they lived together for a week or so before she went home to recover.

Ordered new struts for my Baja from the Subaru warehouse but they didn't really have them in stock so

now I have to wait.

Hope you recover quickly and the illness lessens right away.

Ernie
