Hi Everybody My DH has been away on business since Monday so yesterday I invited my grandson to come over for supper and to spend the night. Well, he was thrilled to come and and I was thrilled to have him here.
This morning at 7:00 I told him we had to go out into the back yard and feed "Baba's critters". I told him it was not necessary to get his clothes on, just put sneakers on and a jacket over the PJ's. We went out, it was freezing, put seed in the bird feeder, peanuts out for THE SQUIRREL and blue jays, and then I told him he had to break the ice in the bird bath so the critters could get water. Well, he thought it was just great that we were outside in our night clothes. How little it takes to please a child. Speaking of which, the "Princess" was absolutely devastated that she didn't get to come. Well I knew of course DH was getting home today around 7:00 this evening, but I had to have her come tonight for a sleep over, and of course she wanted to do everything her brother did. She wanted the "play bath". I filled the tub to the top and then gave her, her Minnie Mouse floatation ring, so she sat in it. I bought a tin of "foam soap". You shake the can and the soap comes out like big thick clouds, well he loved it last night and she did tonight. Lastly, I watched the video "The Iron Giant" with him last night and her tonight.
Yikes, that's a terrible movie. LOL.
COUNTRYGAL not to worry about the swimsuit. I have come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter how much a woman weighs, no woman is ever happy at how she looks in a swimsuit. You'll look just fine~~~just have fun.
SCHOOLGIRL WTG with the good grades, you must be working very hard.
DONNA I don't go to Maui until the beginning of next Februay. By then I will be sick of winter and ready to go someplace nice and warm.
GLENDA the girls said very nice things about my "tea parties" and baking but actually I only bake a couple of things well and sort of stick to the same stuff. I can make fairly decent scones and muffins, probably because I make them so often. Cooking though that's a different story. Let's just say I try hard but sure have my share of OOPS! !
At least
TRUDY is making a Thanksgiving Day meal, I'm not, and still I hit a couple of stores today. I'm going to my friend's place at the lake, she's having the dinner on Sunday and I think we will stay over until Monday.
It was very cold today, and the leaves are all turning colour and falling. It's a very pretty time of the year, but winter is right behind.
Lastly,
DEELITE if you take a peek at our board tonight, I'm thinking about you.

I guess that there is no question that I have to get better. Someone will have to be bring in your journal for you in a couple of decades from now. 
We are lost without you.
