November 2019... Share YOUR day...

Good Morning Kids, It's Friday... I am not sure where the week went, didn't get anything done that I wanted to get done... This is the first morning in awhile I feel pretty good... I went to bed last night at 8:30... and just woke up... plus whatever sleep I got in my chair after dinner last night. Today, I have to pick up one of my Buddies at the garage at 10... and my other Buddy wants us to join him to go to Princess Auto, which is a cool store, can spend hours in there walking around... So not sure exactly what I am doing today, time will tell. Well, it's warmed up enough to take all the snow away again, and is suppose to be above zero for the next week or so... Well, Kids. going to check out the rest of our forum... I hope YOU all have a GREAT day... and God Bless YOU all...
Mike

Today, Saturday, all my kids are here, first time since we took our cruise, several years ago. We are celebrating a combined Thanksgiving, all the fixings, and my upcoming BD. They will be here until Monday.

Yesterday, my oldest son crossed off one of the items on his bucket list. He drove a race car at Daytona raceway. This is the Richard Petty driving school held all over the country. They spent 1-2 two hours teaching and riding with him, then turn him loose for 8 laps on his own. He did good and got up to 146 mph. He received a diploma and a plaque he is very proud of.. Here he is with his wife Nina.

Been tackling some of the dusting around here. Looks so much better once it's dusted off. Got to get to cleaning the floors. I'm not excited about cleaning any more after doing it for the past 55 years or so..I'm thinking of treating myself and hiring someone to do some of it for a one time shot. Could be my Christmas present to myself... :unsure: 🥳 We'll see about that. Other than that I've been hibernating again..seems like the right thing to do this time of year with this weather.

Spent the day doing some light cleaning around the house. Dusting, rearrainging things, vacuuming. Taking out the Turkey this evening to put it in the Fridge. Also going over my list to see what the last few things are I need to get for turkey dinner on Friday. Mainly it is milk, a few fresh veggies, and some things for a cheese & cracker tray to have out.
 
I had a great day, I went shopping at Home Goods with my granddaughter, I bought the cutest Christmas gnome for my fireplace mantel, went to Stop n Shop super market to pick up a few things for thanksgiving. Thanksgiving will be at her house this year, she was married in October so this will be her first thanksgiving dinner In her new home.😊
 
Had to cancel an early turkey day and two birthday celebrations for tomorrow....
the whole family is sick with colds and viruses ~ not taking a chance of getting any of that cuz I don't recover for three weeks or more ~ so disappointed I wont get to see them until possibly next weekend :(
 
Hey... Sounds like we are all doing pretty good... think I've got a touch of the stomach flu... Went out for dinner tonight, and could not wait to get home, take the jeans off, into sweatpants... and trying to rest with stomach... Not a lot else is going on, Going to have to climb under the truck again tomorrow, and try to find a way to keep the plug plugged in the new fuel module I bought... The clip broke off while fixing it last week cuz it was so cold... Now the temps are back up and some warmer, all the snow we got is all gone now... Well hope YOU all have a GREAT Sunday... and God Bless YOU all...

Sorry to hear that Pops, I know how much you were looking forward to it. You are lucky you found out about the sickness before you got exposed.

For me, the hardest part of cleaning is getting started but I love the results.

I try to break the job into small chores and chip away at them a little at a time.

Set the amount of money it would cost to hire a cleaning person aside, do your own cleaning, and use the money saved to splurge on a special treat for yourself.

Good luck!
 
Sunday morning so it's time to wind the clock. I replaced the mechanism a few weeks ago and I'm still adjusting it to get it as accurate as possible. The new mechanism cost twice what the clock did originally, but having it repaired would have cost just as much. Anyway it's working beautifully and the 'Westminster' chime sounds good.

Damp and miserable here today. Plenty of work to do - I'm almost finished making a bookcase so I'll crack on with that. Going to cook a chicken for Sunday dinner. I cook it breast side down in cider, apples, celery and onion. When cooked, the liquid is thickened with cream. Millions of calories - but delicious.
 
Every week I attend our early church service at 8:15,love it because its more initmate held in our chapel,communion every week.We sing 2 hymns,our minister gives a good sermon,it ends around 9. There is a regular group of members who also prefer this service,nice to see them each week.
Our early service wasn't held this morning just the later one at 10:30.I come to this service once in awhile to hear the choir,see other church members I haven't seen in awhile.The service is suppose end at 11:30, it rarely happens
Today I'm taking a 'time out' from church don't have the enthusiasm to go
I'll read the paper take a couple walks,read my book
 
We celebrated Thanksgiving and my birthday, a few days in advance, with my three kids and their spouses. Been a long time since we all got together all at the same time. Saturday we had our turkey dinner and Sunday we all went to Golden Coral for their buffet. I’m going to step up my walking when they leave. Need to lose a few Thanksgiving pounds. My neighbor took these photos: L to r. Jeff, my youngest, Thelma, my wife, me, Suzanne, daughter, and Dave Jr. my oldest...retiring from Tacoma post office next year. Love these guys more than words can say.

I've have a friendship with my minister,Tom and his wife,Carol since he became our pastor 21 yrs ago
This morning I'm going over to their house to look at some pictures they took when Tom was on his 4 month sabbatical this summer. They went to Ireland,Italy,Maine,NH We've been trying to find a date that would work,look forward to this.
Our friendship has evolved over the yrs not as close as we were in the beginning,but we're still friends.I enjoy being with them, get to see a more personal side to Tom then when I see him at church.One of the highlights of the friendship happen 9 yrs ago, when I was invited to their eldest son,Ian's wedding,wasn't expecting the invite,was a wonderful weekend
 
Got the kids off to the airport this morning. Back to Ohio they're going....brrrr!

Hope everyone out there in Senior Forum land has a great Thanksgiving.
