Nana, congrats on the hearing aides for Joe. my DH refused to get them, so his brother sent him his extra set. They have been adjusted to work for him. So I figure now if these go bad he will have to get a set for himself.
Safe travels for your Thanksgiving celebration. I wish you a wonderful time visiting.

Safe travels today Junie...and for you as well Nana.
School is cancelled again today...the snow storm is traveling towards us....8-10 inches forecast. I might take a quick run to the local grocery store in a few minutes since I have an hour or two before the storm begins.

Morning all, Thanks for the good wishes for safe travel... so excited to go see kids... hate to say it but weather here is so nice, cool at night do run heater but days are really nice, jacket weather but not cold... hubby is out walking Milo... I have to get dressed to go to doc for his hearing test soon... so glad he is cooperating .. now just hope they help him... he broke his eardrum in one ear as a kid so that ear is damaged for sure, hopefully he can be helped with the other one …
Just did my bills for end of month and trip.. glad that part is done... hubby went and got cash needed for trip and all I need to do is get us ready clothes wise and pack us up.... have a good day all!
Nana

Get lots of cuddles in with the wee ones Nana.
I made a trip for a few groceries and some more syrup for GG. She has an awful cough that will probably end up as croup...it happens every year.
The snow is falling heavily.

Well, my part is done....DH has the barn yard to do when he gets home from work. I am thankful for my new roof...that means I don't have to shovel it off every storm. Once a month should be good. Have a good 'errand' day Tina.

Hi all,
should be getting ready for trip but read msgs… laughed at the "wee ones" boys are all so big.. most of them tower over me granted not hard at 5 ft nothing but only ones little enough now to cuddle are the great grands so will cuddle the one I get to see while in Colorado.. he is getting bigger too. why do they have to grow up so fast!
Hubby is getting his hearing aid, as we suspected he has no hearing in one yr at all, other ear been compensating all this time .. that ear was failing too but hopefully this aid will slow that down and not get any worse... best part is they ordered it and it will be in Monday so he can start wearing it and actually hear the kids! I will feel safer with him driving too.. but will probably have to quit being a smart mouth to him cause now he just may hear me … LOL! Well off to get laundry done and start packing up , we want to leave early Tues morning and hopefully drive thru.. see if my foot can take it, will have Milo so will have to stop so that will help since now I can actually walk around more...
Happy Thanksgiving All! Nana

I wish I could do all of my Christmas shopping in one day.
as long as I have tylenol in me and a walker I am doing ok. I wish you all a good day

I agree about the age of Nana's grands. In my mind they should all be small yet too.
Thanks so much, Sunny. And good for you !

Walkers are necessary evils …. didn't like using mine much either but was so much better than being stuck in a wheel chair....LOL! Hubby is getting his hearing aid today , so happy he is getting it and will be able to hear and enjoy the family better, when everyone got together it was to much for him before and he would go sit on his own, he will be much happier now being able to join in.
Well got to get busy now and start packing. clothes for cold and for warmer... twice as much luggage.. not to mention the dogs cage, bed and food...
Well off to start the daily race... enjoy your day all! Nana

Hello. Vegging out is good, Tina. Everyone should do it occasionally...or as often as they can !
Nana...have a great and safe trip. Not to worry about too many clothes. More is better than less after all.
I hope everyone I having a good day !

Hi all. It was a LONG day out but my mother is ready for Christmas...and all is well with GG's check up results. I got a little Christmas shopping done....most items were already sold out from the flyer. I buy a little gift to go with Walmart gift cards....they can buy what they want themselves

Been awake for about 45 minutes. I DO wish I were home where my Dr. treated me right.It hurts so bad to be in bed.
Ok rant over. I will go and read now. I hope you all are blissfully sleeping and continue to do so for awhile yet. Sweet Dreams.

I am very confused. Why are you in bed, Carol? Gift cards and cash are the way to go with adult children, Sunny. I gave my oldest a few hundred yesterday to help see her through her upcoming surgery and recovery. She just needs a date and the place to go now.

Tina..sorry I was not awake, apparently... ..when I go to bed to sleep, it is very painful to move. I am far better off to be up, sitting.
Forgive my rant...I was tired, I hurt and was upset. I finally went back to bed and was able to sleep until 9:45. I feel human now. Still hurt but can deal with it.
I hope everyone is having fun getting ready for Turkey Day !

Yes I did. The 6 yr old (I used to watch him when he was very small) was happy we were there but was more interested in his ipad. The 4 yr old wanted me to go down into the basement and play with their doll house (there is a finished basement in their house where most of the toys are) the 2 yr o!d would do whatever you asked if mom was not around, and the new born, well all she wanted was for her mom to hold her and let her nurse. I think she may have the colic or whatever they call it now a days. I did get to ho!d the baby the few times she consented to let her mom hand me over. And, they brought the doll house up so the older boys and I could p!ay. I also did a lot of book reading to the boys. Well except for the books that Luke (the 6yr old) read to me.
I must brag some...a few days before we got there, Luke was accepted into the gifted program in math and science at his public school, Which is the only 2 areas there are. He went thru extensive testing and will be in this program thru the 8 th grade. He is in Kindergarten now as his birthday fell after the cut off.

Don't blame you one bit for bragging. That's wonderful. Sorry you're in such pain when you lay down. Must be awful not to be able to rest.
Agree about the gift cards. Cuts out having to judge for sizing and age appropriateness for toys and games.

About the gift cards...Very true, but my Grand s are little guys. I sent them money for their birthdays the checks are still on the counter a month later. So now they think their brother got a gift when they did not.........

Yes, for littles a gift that they can see, feel and play with is a must. But you can keep the gifts small (inexpensive) and give checks too.

My mom buys the kids a pr of pj's and a small toy then adds the money in a card for their savings accounts. The gift itself never exceeds $20. This year I bought them each a toy, then they'll get one outfit...and hopefully their bunk beds for here.(I never spend that amount...but the beds are really needed).
Not sure what today holds....I might make bread.

I am watching the girls this afternoon......mainly they will sleep here so their Mom can go shopping. They are good do it will not be a problem. I wish you all a great day !

The warning system was set up for a normal fire kind of rolling in. This was not a normal fire. It was like some old movie set where the bad guys are shooting flaming arrows down on the good guys. But the people were sleeping and there were millions and millions of flaming arrows. The cell towers and phone lines were some of the first casualties. The people were stuck on the roads by traffic and burning down in their cars. The CHP and local cops didn't have clear info about where to go and sent people on the wrong paths out. Those phone lines and cell towers being out had a lot to do with the lack of info. I had a friend online in the fire zone. The first area to be notified. And the last as far as I know. He got his dogs and go bags (emergency stuff just for this type of thing). And he and his wife took off. The straightest route out of Paradis was already on fire. So he had to travel all the way around town like this @ to get out. For a few minutes he was stopped by traffic right outside of the fire station empty of personnel, and heard that the main roads out of town was burning on their radios. But the officer trying to guide them that way out didn't know that it was burning. He went the other way. His wife followed him and so did a big rig. That was the worst hit town. There are others. That is a sad story for sure.
