Good morning. Today I'm purging my closet. I've got a lot of clothes that shrunk that I have 'outgrown'. Since DH is on an all day field trip I thought that's what I would do today. I'm putting some red beans in the crockpot so this evening we'll have red beans and rice. I found a wonderful recipe online for it. It had a surprise ingredient to me in it. It is sage. I never thought about using sage in a bean recipe but it's not really that noticeable.

Morning all - missed yesterday -was crazy - DH & I volunteered at the local soup kitchen - a first for us -thru our temple group-we sorted & handed out food for the holiday -very eye opening -and somewhat sad. We may do it again for christmas. Then we had a quick bite & i headed out to clean & ride - DH met me w/ tundra so we all walked -Tundra is getting better & better about the trail w/me -may try a solo soon! Libby -what you do at the prison is such a good (yet somewhat sad) thing -like at the soup kitchen - we all maybe sometimes forget how good we have things -no matter what. Faye- as someone said 2 hr practice- impressive -i would guess it is relaxing to you! Yes, our great Nov weather is due to change over the weekend as well -still nice today & tomorrow -but Sunday cooler -and next week -cold!
I have Upreach (volunteer theraputic riding center) this morning -will clean before I go (easier) then ride after -oh yea -have to pick up some glass (!) not much -just to finish a few holiday pieces! (haha)
Waving to the rest of the gang -HAGD - Ride if you can - CBL

Hi all,
Having computer problems. probably getting a new one for Christmas this one is pretty old. I just wrote a post and lost it. So frustrating.
I have to get some work done now so no time to rewrite. I will try again later.
HAGD

Hi, all! Faye, have a good day! Beth, ah, the old shrunken clothes conundrum. Have fun! I rec'd an invite to a "chili and cornbread" cookoff, looks like I'll be able to try that first cornbread again (with the right corn meal). Barb, good for you, giving some of your time for those in need. I used to do a lot of that type of work with a community volunteer group. It IS eye-opening and I try to remember that there are so many folks without basic necessities  Amy, sorry about the missing post...we have all been there. I keep thinking I'd like a new laptop but I guess I'm going to 1) download all my stuff to disk and 2) wait for total failure  Took glasses in...again. Hey, Faye, the doc thought I had an eye issue where my eyes have a hard time focusing for a long period of time. Have you heard about anything like that? He said he was going to have a prism put in my glasses. Seriously...I think this is all hockey puck. My harp teacher is playing background for a Xmas craft fair this evening so I might go for a bit, see if there's anything fun to buy. I'm loving the watercolor I'm doing...pretty fun. I just have to decide on the background, which is harder for me. Will either swim or walk today...don't like swimming on Friday's. Usually lessons going on and they take lanes. Cathy |

Hi, all...raining here so not much outside activity today. If it's still raining tomorrow, I'll try the gym. Barb, glad you're having nice weather, but hope you get your rain soon - even though that's no fun. Faye, I've had progressives for around 8 years so I'm not a stranger to them. This guy is an optometrist but I'm thinking I should go back to my old guy; I do have an appointment but it wouldn't be until next summer. I'm not sure what my insurance will allow me to do so I might call them next week to find out. I've never had this problem before. This new guy would try a few things and then be sort of "huh, not sure what to try next." Does not instill me with lots of confidence I put a first coat of stain on the bathroom cabinet (yeah, it's been a while). Too light so I'll try another coat tomorrow. Just doing some painting, hanging with the cat. Quiet day. Cathy |

BARB-glad you have nice weather to ride in
how's the show??? hope it went well
BETH-did you ever get DH's eye dr on the phone? good luck monday. How are your knees doing?
CATHY-sorry about the glasses. hope you can go to your old dr. and see if he can figure out the difference. Progressives are fussy to fit. and several things that could be different or off to lead to a problem.
could luck with the cabinets!
AMY-sorry about the computer. hope you can post.
DUTCH- glad DH seems to enjoy Ally as well. hope Ally likes her new shelter.

Good afternoon, Sunday
Barb-snowy here, what about by you? Is Penny set for snow? do you need to do anything for winter? Hope the show went well.
LIBBY-when do you start the kitchen demo? how long do you think the whole project will take?
BETH-how are your knees? good luck with DH's second opinion tomorrow? did you ever get to talk to the first eye dr?
CATHY-hope you can figure out the glasses.
tooth was bad so called dentist this morning and the on call dentist called and was great. they'll see me tomorrow. he thinks it either my TMJ or need a root canal or both. Glad I had that long harp lesson last week so at least this week is free if I have to see someone for a root canal. always something.
snowing here and already one limb down in the back.
Hope everyone is having a good day.

Still drippy here but went for a walk. The staining needs to be put on hold as I realized there still some paint that needs to come off. It's in a tricky place so I need some different tools. Just had that shipped from Amazon since the local Ace Hardware didn't even know what I was talking about.
Hope things go well for you tomorrow, Faye. And Barb, hope the show went well (or is it still ongoing today)!

Good afternoon. DH had choir practice right after service since so many will be gone for the Wednesday night practice. Then we went to his parents for the family TG meal. We just got home.
My knee is getting somewhat better. As long as I keep the pace medium speed or slower it doesn't hurt. I can now do a few steps without it twinging on me.
DH is having his root canal on Tuesday morning and his crown put in Tuesday afternoon. His eye consult is the 29th of this month. The regular eye dr never did call me back. I have to go this time with DH to the consult as they will dilate his eyes. I can ask questions then.
Faye- sorry you are having dental issues also. Glad the dentist can see you tomorrow.
Barb-how was your show?
Cathy-what kind of tools did you order?
Libby-when do you leave for Hawaii?
Dutch-did Ally accept her shelter?
