about your gazebo erection......much congrats on getting it set up, but yes as we age things do get done slower. Ya know some people have asked us why our " well over 30 yr. old DS still lives at home " and even though it is none of their damn business, we are very grateful he IS here! For the last few years the renos and/or heavy slogging work would not get done alone by DH. Often it's a 2 man job and I'm no longer " the man I used to be" lol. Hope you enjoy your backyard time in your gazebo!

yes, sadly our backyards are all attached! There is NO privacy at all so curtains blocking neighbours eyes is a must....lol.
The one good thing about having all the backyard fences shared is there is NO access for cars or people walking by to get in.
The houses across the street from us, well their backyards face the walking trails! So anyone strolling on those paths have
the perfect cover to hop a backyard fence and break in! I have always shuddered at that access.

You too

ha ha !! I snagged the last box of Samosa's at Wmart ( the deli section ) . They only bake up so many of these each day so I was watching my cart like a hawk thinking someone might grab it from my buggy. So nice that you were able to replace that area rug with a great sale.

oooh, yeah I still recall whenever I had a fall while delivering mail, I thought I was fine and then the next day? OWIE!! I'm going to pm you in a second.

Yes you are right he told me this morning his tailbone area is sore from the fall.All it takes is a second our outcomes in life.So glad lizzie,s daughter and her boyfriend are okay.

so relieved that your DH's fall after clearing the snow away was minimal. They say the pain never sets in until the day after so check on him tomorrow.
What a scary situation for lizzie ( DD car accident ) and sassy ( smashing face ) . In a second life switches up!

ha ha !! Didn't you lol at my bragging about my birthday? I got so many cards this year it was shameful AND 2 of my sisters sang Happy Birthday to
me over the phone.

if you could see the condition of our garage you'd scream! When I was physically stronger I always tidied it and kept it under a certain level of chaos, but
it has exploded into I have no idea what anymore! lol. Just like those liquidation sales " Everything Must Go! "

All back from my procedure! It went very well. I just have to wait and see how bad the pain will be after the freezing comes out. Dr. said it is similar to
the pain you get from a bruise? We'll see if he is lying. ha ha After that pain is gone I hope to get the pain free window!

a very Happy 11th Birthday to Ashlyn!!

your post about your sweeet older brother made me tear up. I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers and to have faith that his Dr's will diagnose whatever he has soon.

I always get such a kick that your birthday and weeding anniversary are on the same day! Talk about feeling special! Woo hoo. Best day ever in September.

hi...yeah that FB cashier just rubbed me the wrong way insisting that the going rate for 10 lbs. of spuds was over $5.00. Nope. lol. Maybe for some but I wait for the price drop. Today while at FB I saved an older gentleman paying $5.00 a piece for watermelons! I told him across the street at NF they are just $2.84 each. He quickly put the 3 he had back and thanked me. We gotta help each other when we can right?

your welcome. I used to do more " scouting " in the aisles of grocery stores and window shopping in other places because not everything is in a flyer.

oh DROOL! The Keg is also one of our guilty pressures. When it's just the 2 of us it's doable, but back when we wasted way too many $$ taking the 3 kids with us, that was NUTS! ha ha
I read about how the employee bridge gets removed when DH gets his OAS and CPP. That happened to me too as I retired before 65, then the claw back began once I had that 65th birthday.
Just think, come September you will join him getting government money!

woo hoo!! A very Happy Birthday to your senior citizen hubby!

Hugs to you and SO glad you’re ok

ty very much!!

I am thinking it is a good thing for Cara ( surgery in May ) but probably scary for you right? Hoping it all goes well.

you're on the mend when you can get out for a small shop and a free treat burger! lol The sun is gorgeous out here today!

Sometimes it is JUST that, quiet alone time gives us gentle healing. Take care!!

that was a bit of good luck that your friend is not visiting on Thursday, take that extra day to recover. Aren't falls like that so annoying? Whenever I slip or stumble on the silliest thing I could just kick myself! lol

ya know ALL I could think of was that poor young woman crying and thinking she had lost all of her ID and cards! So many cards in her wallet!
PLUS her cell phone was in there!! ha ha...but, it was this thin black thing, I had no idea it was a phone until it started beeping? or dinging?
So many calls probably from people trying to reach her.
I learned the hard way NOT to carry unnecessary ID in my wallet ( birth certif. CC's that I don't use often ). Why give a thief all your info?

I am happy you got the coupons . Have a great day

oh no! All I can say is get lots of extra sleep ( if you can ), drink fluids and hopefully your cold symptoms will skedaddle! Glad it's not the other thing.....covid.

good grief! When it rains it pours, as if your DS needed his sump pump to break now? I feel his pain., Financially we were always 1 step forward , 2 steps back.
It is so much better now, but NOW we are old and decrepit..... ha ha

ugh....a new phone? 1 of my kids has the very newest I phone, but only because the Company provided it! We are still holdouts...ha ha

you said it! Age is just a suggestion ( number! ) ha ha
