I am feeling a bit better today. So
I have been up for a good part of the day except for a nap this afternoon. On the mend!!
My sister Marg came over this afternoon , it was a good visit. She brought me a book to read.
Matthew and Caroline visited this morning and brought Tim's Sandwiches and Chili. We had half the sandwich for lunch and the second half for dinner along with the chili. Thanks Caroline and Matthew for the lovely meal. You are very kind and thoughtful. We enjoyed our meal.
Nothing exciting happened but then we don't need exciting every day do we?
Just being alive is exciting enough LOL.
So as you see we had a nice day.

still ill
Not feeling quite up to par yet, another day ought to do it. I am out of bed though and sitting up.
I would like to eat a Tim's sandwich but that will have to wait until I get out. In the meantime I think I'll make myself a bowl of soup Ray said he will make me some soup. Great guy, my husband. Not too many like Ray.
Of course I have done zero today other what choice did I have. I am still very tired and plan to go to bed early. I did knit a few rows on my washcloth and will do several more tonight. It is almost to the decrease stage so that is good.
And that is all for now folks. Have a good evening.

late
Late to start blogging. But here goes. I should have material to talk about. For some reason I am quite warm tonight and Ray says he did not turn the heat up. Maybe it is the laptop that makes me warm.
It was a rainy drizzly day today, but I like these days. I always remember going downtown shopping with my mom on a day like this. For some reason it sticks in my memory. I think she bought me some cut out dolls. I loved those dolls. What fun they were. It takes time to cut them all out before I could play with them and that as part of the fun.
My memories of rainy days are so good.
Ray and I went for lunch at Mr. Ho's with Sam. We do love visiting with him. Lunch was good but Chinese food is one of our
favourites and Mr. Ho's Chinese is always great.
After we left Sam we came home and spent the rest of the day relaxing. I had a bit of a nap . I like a little afternoon nap. And the rest of the day was spent watching TV.
Quiet day eh.
I am very tired tonight for no reason at all. Even watching TV seems a big effort. Oh well I shall prevail. I do not like to go to bed this early because I wake up in the middle of the night.
Tomorrow Mary is coming over for a little visit. I will be happy to see her and the little greats. I am so fortunate.
And that is all folks. Have a lovely evening. I am going to bed.

yellow
I just finished a yellow dishcloth. Yellow is such a cheerful colour and makes me feel joyful. I love yellow.
We did go out for a bit today. We went to the Crossings for a bite of lunch and then to London Drugs to see the books. I did not buy anything today. Neither did Ray. But we did look around to see all the stuff. And then we just came home.
At home we relaxed , I read a bit and computed.
The day was quiet, I had a nice chat with Adam and Rick.
Tomorrow is Tuesday and my sewing day with Pat. I look forward to Tuesdays.But right now I do not have project to work on and can't think of anything to start. So I will probably applique some of Betty's blocks. I have done that before. Betty does a lot of charity quilts so has many blocks to do. Some of the other ladies do Betty's blocks too. Maybe I should do some charity quilts too.
I am feeling a bit tired tonight. Not unusual. However I do not want to go to bed this early. So I'll just suck it up and hold on until later.
I need to check my sewing bag and see what is in there for me to do. I am sure there is something.
That's it folks. Have a great evening.

give it up
I think I'll give up on blogging for while. I seem to have very little of interest to say. I have been home all day today and have done nothing. So what is there to talk about.
I am not active at all these days. No sewing ,no knitting, no embroidery, no shopping, and no nothing. So no blog.
Have a great evening. I am going to bed. Sleep well.

shop
Saturday and shopping for the weekly groceries whenever I get dressed.
Well I did get dressed and we did go shopping. We bought nothing special and did not even go to TIM'S for lunch as we usually do. We came home and had lunch here. But that was too far back and I can't remember what I had. Supper was simple salad, beans and that was it. But it was good. I bought some feta at the grocery store and added that to my salad. I love feta in my salad. Now I am full and happy. Oh and I had a couple of cookies for dessert.
Jim called today and said he would be down from Edmonton in about three weeks. I am looking forward to seeing him, it has been a long time since we saw each other. The older one gets the more difficult it is to get together. Ray does not want to drive to Edmonton or Calgary any more. And my sons are not as young as they were either, I had them all in my twenties and now I am in my eighties. So they are either coming into their sixties or are already there. Travelling gets more difficult for all of us.
Today was wet and windy and we pretty well stayed home.Except for grocery shopping. That was our big outing.
Now it is evening and we are just vegging out and watching football B.C. Lions and Edmonton. We are ahead at the moment but not by much so it is a close game.I want to get back to my sewing but I have no initiative right now. I wonder when my energy will come back. If ever. I have to get this quilt done for Eve in Quebec, Nancy asked me to make one for her as I did for the other children. The top is done and I think I will call Lauren and make arrangements to have her quilt it on her long arm. I'll do that soon.
And that is it for tonight folks. Have a great evening.

out and about
We went out today! Not very far but still out. We went to the salon for a haircut, both of us and then for lunch we went to the Crossings and Tim's for a bite to eat. We shared some chicken Nuggets and barbecue sauce. We had coffee too. Then we we went to Cob's for a loaf of bread. And home.
We just watched TV this afternoon, so lazy today.
I am watching for any action between Hilary and the Donald. I wonder why he has an article before his name. Well it does define him and one has no doubt who is the person under discussion. Such is fame.
I am so lazy today , just sitting and playing on my computer as well as watching TV. But I am sleepy so I think I'll have a nap. See you later.

at home
Stay at homes again. We must be getting old or something. I did talk to our grandson Sam though and that was good. We made a date for Wednesday. I am looking forward to seeing him. He has been in the hospital for minor surgery.I am glad he is okay.
What does one do while staying at home? Well we do nothing other than a bit of laundry and computering. Well Ray does the laundry and I do the computering. Role reversal .
When one does not go out there is little to talk about.
I see Mr. Trump is talking about accepting the results of an election if he wins. What a guy. If he loses while unacceptable to him I am getting the idea that he will not accept the results. He is a bit off the wall as far as I am concerned. However I am just an observer and of no consequence. Still it is fascinating. Go Hilary!
So tonight we watch the news right now and other shows later in the evening.
And that is it, a short blog tonight. Have a great evening.

quiet
Such a quiet day, we stayed in all day. Matthew came over in the morning and did our vacuuming. He has been so good doing that for Ray. He always spends some of the time visiting which makes me happy. Then Peter visited us in the early afternoon and we had a lovely visit with him. Later in the afternoon I had a great phone chat with our grandson Sam. We hope to get together soon as he is having surgery tonight.
I did nothing today , really lazy day. I watched TV and did my computer. One of these days I want to sew LOL. I think I'll call Lauren my long arm quilter to do the quilting on Eve's quilt. That would be fine by me. I don't think I will make any more quilts. Well maybe one for our great granddaughter Rose if I can get motivated. It is taking so much effort to get that way now. I am 85 soon and losing a lot of oomph.
Rose is a sweet little girl and I think she would like one of my quilts. I want to embroider the blocks then set them together. Better get that started soon.
Tomorrow we will go out for a bit. We like getting out and about, having coffee and lunch. We used to go to TOPS but that is closed now. I sure miss that restaurant. I used to go there for lunch when I was teaching.
We are wondering about Hallowe'en . We seldom get any kids here that night but there are two children that sometimes visit across the hall. Every year we wonder about little visitors, so we do buy some candy for them and then have to eat most of it ourselves. It is a sad tale LOL.
Time to go folks. Have a lovely evening.
