finally

Here it is several weeks since I last blogged. Pain, loss of energy and too tired to bother. Things are going along much better now.Less pain and I can move the knee,altho it has a clicking sound when I bend it back.  Will see the Dr next week so will ask him why .  Don figures I need a grease fitting but doubt that would help.

 

We had a great Thanksgiving (October weekend of the 9th).  Most of the family were here to helped put things away for the winter. On Sunday we had 14 for a turkeydinner and many thanks to my bevy of girls I didn't have to do much.  The girls also went to an apple orchard and picked apples as well loaded up with all kinds of squash.  The weekend weather was nigh perfect, warm and sunny.  We had rain earlier in the week and rain after but were blessed with good weather.It seems as if it has rained off and on ever since.  We have had a few snow flurries but nothing so far that has stayed on the ground.  We expect to move to town to our condo by the end of the month  providing we don't get a big snow storm.  As we heat by wood and have lots of it  we are plenty warm.  I will probably freeze when we move in as electric heat is not the same but will get used to it.

 

Tomorrow 2 younger people are coming to clean out the smoke stack.  Don doesn't like climbing up on the roof  and I'm glad about that.  Each year sure makes a difference in us physically but then we are a year older.  Thr 9th is his birthday and I had planned on taking him out to dinner but had a call today from friends  inviting us to dinner to celebrate his day on the 9th  at their home.   Will have to find another day.  We seem to have a busy week so it may be next week.

 

Janet, next door pet sits.  She has had 2 different dogs this week so brings them over for us to see.  One is a toy black poodle, so cute and very energetic.  The one she has for this weekend is a Jack Russel eager to go anywhere, anytime as long as it is now.  Our neighbour on the other side has a minature Australian Sheepdog.  It has long hair which is supposed to have a blue tinge when grown.  It is about 10 or 11 weeks old.  It has no tail and from behind looks like a wee bear waddling along.  She named  him  Matilda, naturally. The have another small dog  she found wandering the streets a few years ago , was so dirty and hungry and apparently no one who wanted her so Ann took her in and they have had her ever since.   She is still a bit skitterish but comes daily for a hand out.  I have been feeding her the odd tidbit from our dinner plus a dog biscuit  or two.  We have a large box of those.

 

Dinner is over, dishes done and time for knee exercises. Take care all.
