I am decorating an outdoor xmas tree in our back yard with Red clip on Cardinals (12) and white velvet bows in memory of my hubby ..We do have a small indoor Xmas tree with gold pointsetias and white lights ..I try to make the best of a somber situation because I know this is what he would want me to do...I am a sentimentalist and try to remember better times for all of us. Thanksgiving will be spent with both my daughter here at home and my granddaughter and her partner will stop by if only to say hello and dishes will be set out for those who want to take part in the celebratiion of thanksgiving...I have purchased presents for all ..some funny some useful ones as I like to give gifts...Even though he is not here in body he is here with us in spirit...Wishing you all a peaceful holiday....

I hear ya, Nicole. But if people, especially older folks don't feel like eating they should check in with the doc. Might be a digestive thing. Plus not eating brings on its own problems. I've read where snacking is fine and often recommended. If it tastes good people will at least eat and get calories.

For me, all the Thanksgiving food on TV and in stores is too much to look at. It reminds me of the sick who weren't able to eat a thing.

Yes Nicole @SummerOnTheWay1 this month does mark the end of hurricane season. The crazy rains and winds this week were like a tropical storm! I looked at the weather summary for those days and there was no mention of a tropical storm just flood and gale warnings.

🦃 Any plans for Thanksgiving?

Me: Nope, NOT "feeling" it this year. Maybe NEXT year. Will "probably" find some movies to binge on.

My daughter "usually" spends holidays with her friends and/or extended family. More "social" than I am at the moment.

Hello to all. i have been BUSY preparing my home to be sold. Had to replace my gas meter!!! which meant I had to tear out the hedges around it. Having a tree trimmed in the front yard, pool repairs, designed and ordered my husband's grave stone, and arranging to have extra furniture removed. I discovered that ALL the charities WILL NOT come and pick up the furniture and expect me to deliver it to them. (That is not happening.) My rheumatologist sent me 15 pages of paperwork to complete before my appointment. I called to schedule my cataract/glaucoma surgery sooner as I will be moving out of state soon. Busy, Busy, Busy In a way I am thankful that I have so much to do to occupy my mind and to help me not be overwhelmed with sadness through Thanksgiving, my 62nd. anniversary and Christmas. Wishing good thoughts to everyone and hoping that your holidays are peaceful. ❤️

Marcy @MarcyW882921 and Cadee @Cadee2719 .

Flu Shot went well and so did Pnemonia. 💃💃💃

Concerned about my COVID this Thursday at CVS Pharmacy as they DO NOT have Moderna, only Pfizer. 😭

I ALWAYS did Moderna.

Did any of you MIX brands and/or got Pfizer? 🤔

HATE those needles but like WE always say, got to take care of ourselves. 👍

Cadee and Jonibee @jonibee , thanks for updates on YOUR medical issues. Now to hope Thursday goes well.🙏 So MANY "horror" stories about Pfizer. 😱

Thanks guys....

All of my shots plus my booster were Pfizer. I had no problems with them. I am still debating about getting the next COVID shot. Got the flu vaccine and the pneumonia shot and had no problems and I AM OLD! 😂

Cadee @Cadee2719 ,

You have to have patience for all that you have been through. I'm glad you are following up with the cemetery regarding the grave stone. This matter is very important to you and is needed for closure and peace of mind.
Finding out about the state rules for selling your house will likely save you time and aggravation in the days ahead. That will be one more thing you can check off the list.
Keep those steps going forward!

Thanks I make a list each day of all the things that I must accomplish, other wise I know I would forget. 😀 My brother is very concerned about me pacing myself and protecting my health so I make certain to take breaks in between each task. What all this activity is accomplishing is my mind is occupied with tasks and not sad thoughts. My son always wanted to move to Idaho to fish and hunt and I tell him that he is coming with me in my heart and mind. My husband will ALWAYS be a part of my life. November 25 we would have been married 62 years!

YOU make me smile each day. Love you guys. Had to have my gas meter replaced yesterday. There was a leak so now I have a brand new gas meter! The people buying my home are going to have EVERYTHING new. I am contacting a realtor today to get an appraisal and to find out what the state REQUIRES me to have before selling. In California they have their RULES and they MUST be followed. I hope that the home I buy is in such good shape as mine is. I contacted the cemetery yesterday asking what is taking so long to get the proof of the grave stone design. I want this installed before I leave. Once my son removes all his "stuff" from my home and garage I can show my home. One step at a time..........Patience is a virtue.
