awhfy

Kat, we’re only expecting about 2-3”. Our mountains are expecting 2-3 feet. Lois that was an awful game we turned it off 60 something to 7 in a championship game? Awful. I love St Barts, some lovely shops to peruse

Wow!!

Daughter has worn those for years. She teaches HS PE.

Continued good wishes for ease of days & coming out of that chemo fog. Athleta & Soma have lovely sales going right now on line fir active wear & at home (sleep) wear. thanks Melissa. Melody

Good news Kat. That’s a service guy that takes care of his clients

Add a cardigan sweater

Worth it to have a dependable vehicle, especially with the power issue!!

Kat, hope your car worries are covered by your recalls. So frustrating when your dependable vehicle decides to throw a hissy. Melody

Now 2-750ml bottles of wine per adult at embarkation

Lois, I’d love to see some pictures from your SilverSeas ship. We’re thinking about one of their cruises. Have a great cruise. Melody

I noticed a khaki color this season too, I’m going to order them

I have Snow White Hokas & Black Hokas. Both are Clifton’s (& on sale through the Hoka web site

Semiannual retina exam yesterday. Doc has a new toy (machine). He says, I see you had a migraine last week (huh, I did). Is your medication working ok, or do you need a change? Cool toy. Purple, thanks for that recipe, pretty easy! dermatology appt on Thursday & diagnostic mammogram & ultrasound in my near future. Sigh. my OOTD is fleecy shirt & Cuddle Duds fleece pants with thick cabin socks. Melody

Sounds great!! Thanks

Purple, need recipe for Sugar Cookie Sparkler drink! Melody

Kat, never good when the gate is closed. I was a paramedic in Boston for 6 years & I’ll drive in just about anything, but when the gate is closed, go home. Glad you made it home safely. Melody

My new favorites are my OOFOS. Unbelievably light, super support (orthotics fit well), I don’t even know that I have them on. They have flip flops, clogs & full shoes. I have all 3. My new favs are the shoe

I love my Hokas.

Happy & Healthy New Year to all! We’ll celebrate with Chinese take out & maybe a glass of wine. We haven’t gone out on New Years in many, many years. We’ll walk outside at 9pm to watch the 5 fireworks shot off top of Pikes Peak (it’s the 100th anniversary of the AdAMAn Club) a group that climb Pikes Peak to shoot off the fireworks. They have a big show at midnight, we haven’t stayed up for that in years…maybe this year

My EGD went ok, ulcer has healed! Hiatal hernia is still there, I’m scheduled for several more tests in January. Hooefuky it can be corrected with medication instead of surgery. we’ll get Chinese food for dinner (take out) & maybe a glass of good vino). happy & healthy new year to all. Melissa, you’ll kick off the celebration!!

Mmm, Port Salute on water wafers, yum!!!

Melissa, good luck with your LAST chemo!! Hope you breeze right thru it Lois, great itinerary. So many of my favorite islands. On the volunteering, start small it can overwhelm even if you don’t think it is! Kat, good you’re there, a less experienced hospitality manager might have let it go to keep the peace. Rules are rules, even for the ‘entitled’ Janet, sounds like a fun group you have. My Mom had a group like that it was called Old & New (no one ever admitted they were old). It was a group for ‘good works’ Sharon, thanks. You’ve have an eventful year i, too, miss Debbie. Melody

Laurie, we were low 30s on Christmas Day. We all ran outside & took our pictures than ran back inside & had hot cocoa (peppermint schnapps was available) or homemade eggnog (Crown Royal salted caramel was available) to warm up. Our coldest days were Thursday & Friday before Christmas, -35 with windchill & actual temps of -16 to -18. Unbelievable weather that Buffalo has had this year, even by Buffalo’s standards. Our city’s idea of snow removal is ‘think spring’. Side roads do not get plowed unless there is more than 6-8” of snow. We usually wait till after Jan 6 to take down Christmas decorations but this year we’re going to do it today & tomorrow (as weather looks to be conducive [snow] to being indoors & I'm having an EGD on Friday to decide what’s going to happen with my reoccurring hiatal hernia. I enjoyed Lord & Taylor, I really miss Filenes (especially their basement). Melody
