Hi Kitty ~
Just doing a bit of catch up this afternoon. Congratulations to you and Brian on your new home. I'll have to read back a bit to see your description! Happy for you both.
Ernie ~ I went to Aldi's today for weekly shopping. Not too busy. It's a chore any more to do the shopping, get it packaged up and home and put away. Wonder if there is a service for that?
Lovely here in Ohio. I will be babysitting Bronwen for two days/nights this week as her parents will celebrate their fourth anniversary.
Carry On ~ Susan

Hi Carolyn ~
Nice to see you posting. Ray is in school already ~ it's pretty amazing! Molly is teaching remotely from her school (kindergarten). Sara, a senior and Ryan in eighth grade (hybrid) and Bronwen in her daycare with temperatures taken each day. Aren't we so fortunate to be retired? I can't even imagine being in a school with all of this going on.
Finn o.k. Battled an ear hematoma (high doses of cortisone), now kaopectate and G.I. distress for two weeks. He'll be nine in January.
Yes, knee after 3rd injection gel is still hurting. Probably a knee replacement necessary. Would prefer to wait until the beginning of the year ~
Stay safe and again, nice to hear from you. Susan

Hi Ernie ~
Just listening to our Governor's weekly COV-19 report. Apparently, athletes (already) are testing positive. My guess is that schools will be shut down in a month or so. So happy, I'm finished with the education field. I can't even imagine.
Keep the Faith. Finn still on the Kao-pectate pills. It's been a long long battle from the Cortisone.

Morning Kitty. Guess you have to go through closing and moving now. Some of it should be fun. We have no relatives near us here except our daughters.
I get to see my daughter and kids again today for pizza.
I had just gotten a new string of LED lights for Cocoa's grave and a deer tripped over it or something. Had to cut out one light and solder wires together without it.
Have a good day.

Morning Susan. Sorry to hear Finn is in pain. Brandy hurt her leg 3 days ago but seems to be back to normal now. She's been taking Glucosamine for years for her joints.
It's pouring rain here now so looks like no walk until 9:30. I will do the elliptical first today.
My brother with bad diabetes and his wife with cancer are in danger from the virus I think.
My grands were already home schooling because of all the vaccines required in our state, so not much change.
Wife would've quit the elder care job if we hadn't already retired, no retirement benefits from there anyway so it's just like quitting.
Have a good day.

lots coming up closing and moving....and somewhere in between it all the back surgery....I guess I will be sitting at the new home supervising....
9/2/20
Dear Ernie ~
Catching up a bit on the Forum.... Kitty back surgery? Oh my!
Ready for the two-and a half year old whirlwind granddaughter. Reminder notes All over the Condo ~ Pick up from DayCare at 5:00 p.m. TODAY. I will have her for two plus nights while parents are on a get away (their 4th anniversary). Hoping the knee and Ibuprofen get me through it all. LOL
Entertaining (against my better thoughts) spouse's family on Labor Day. Condo big enough to social distance six people (???) much to do to get ready for a gathering...... And so it goes.
Hugs, Susan

Dear Kitty ~
Back surgery before moving? Oh my! Please tell us about the new home. I'm sure it is a century home and will be wonderful!!!
Hugs, Susan

Morning Kitty. Sad you need surgery but good they believe they can fix it.
Fixed a solder sucker I bought about a year ago today. Fixed my old one and then this new one quit. It was only a vacuum hose in the handle, good thing, they are expensive. They are for electronic repairs.
I might go south and move a ham radio antenna for my brother today. I looked at it on my last visit and should be able to do it easily.
Was nice to see daughter and grands for pizza, granddaughter couldn't make it.
Have a good day.
Ernie
