So yesterday we traveled to our mall to do some after Christmas shopping. I specifically needed some picture frames and as always get a few candles. Well one thing led to another and ended up buying clothes for Miss Zoey. Soon the local media came up to us as well as many others and asked about our outing and took our picture. We watched as they traveled and talked to many others as well as take numerous photos. I joked to my husband. “Watch us be in the newspaper “. Yup. Front page in small town USA.

@A&L_Ont Safe travels!! @Sea Dog Praying for a speedy and minimal pain as Linda recovers. To all take care.

@Sea Dog Prayers for Linda. Be safe.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! A few weeks ago I was asked to go with my daughter and her husband for my granddaughters first birthday photo shoot. Well. He did a great job. And I cannot believe how awesome his work is. As we were done I turned around to get my coat and I saw a mirror in his “prop” area. I thought to myself…..I wonder……. So I asked if he would take a picture of her holding the mirror. He did. Another great memory. The best gift ever. Well being a part of Zoeys life with them living over 4 hours away and seeing her weekly babysitting is very special. Sue 💕

Great daily reading. Thanks for sharing. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Merry Christmas Eve to all who share their lives here on the best thread. A special thanks for letting me post my story times now and then. Be safe. Take care.

We got a mere 2 inches of snow. It will all be melted in next few days. Temperature in the 50’s Christmas Day. Be safe.

Light rain here. We are going under a Winter Weather advisory at 1 pm. Cold and snow. We are in the zone to get up to 6 inches. No wait 4 inches. Um. Really 2 inches. It really depends which TV channel you listen to on the weather prediction . Love the consistency. ( Not) Be safe whatever happens.

We are currently on the front end of that weather event that is coming up from the south. Wind advisory to start soon. Rain is to be ongoing most of day. Off to cemeteries to place wreathes and candles in their glass votives. Umbrella and babuska in tow. 😃

Great to be back. I’ll be a full time wife for 4 weeks. Then back to traveling and being a part time wife and part time babysitter for Miss Zoey. 💕

Tonight we will be hosting a dinner for our church family. Monthly as a group we all dine at a local restaurant. We will prepare the main course. Eye of Round in its own Au Jus, and slow cooked chicken mushroom and dried onion casserole. Our guest will provide the side dishes. Potato casserole. Vegetable Pepper poppers. Salad Dinner rolls. Chocolate treats The dessert will be all my home made cookies. I will be sending home with each household a mini cookie tray. Our dining room table and kitchen table are both set up the same. The overview of my cookie table. The back has the cookie trays to go home. Next are nut keiffel and kolachi Next are Cookie Bark, lady fingers, Apricot kolachi. And sugar cookies Next are Almont melt away. Should be a relaxing evening. Be safe.

@h20skibum HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your son. ❤️

Good morning. Well it’s official. Today I completed 67 orbits around the sun. I am thrilled for everyday waking up healthy wealthy ( kinda sorta) and wise. As I grow older I really do appreciate what life has to offer and take nothing for granted. Also I am honored to be part of a great home family as well as all my new found friends here on the best thread Cruise Critic has to offer. So for now. For many reasons. Too many to list. Thank you for being you. All my love. Sue AKA the Birthday Girl.

Good morning. Mark and Susan glad to see your sharing your travels and excited to follow. Safe travels.

Thank you for sharing. We did not know. Happy 2 cruises out of there next year! Ty once again.

Well I would like to thank everyone for their kind thoughts and prayers for me as I had my colonoscopy today. It became reality yesterday at 5 pm when I made my cocktail of 6 ounces of magnesium citrate in Powerade lemon aid. It was tolerable and after the mix of 34 ounces I had to drink 32 ounces of water in 60 min. I started the timer for 2 reasons. To make sure I drank all that in time limit and to see when nature calls. I then floated to the guest bathroom - phone, charger, book and preparation H and preparation H wipes. Pre treated outflow area with preparation H. At the 14 min mark. It work. and worked and worked. If you get my drift for 90 min. Not painful. No cramps. Took a shower. Had my supper. Lime jello. Watched Kansas City play Buffalo (sorry Seadog). Went to bed. Got up at 4am. Second verse same as the first. Got a phone call they had a couple cancellations. Asked if I could come in early. So out through the door. Arrived early. Whisked off to Preop. Quickly admitted. One of the Anesthesiologists started the IV. My best friend who could have been my sister if I would have been so blessed gave me a sedative. Yup. versed. Great drug. Off to the endoscopy room Monitors on. Doctor said goodnight. I had great dreams. Propofol great drug. If I could remember them I would tell you. Test done. Doctor spoke to my spouse CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH!!!!! Pictures perfect. Prep worked. Next colonoscopy 10 years. Um. When you are a request case. You get ((((Drugged))))))) Besides being a cheap date. I got the top shelf of sedation and survived the bonus token fentanyl. I eventually went home. Had broccoli cheese soup. Baked 2 batches of cookies. Now off to Christina s MIL house. We will have Miss Zoey for the week. Miami of Ohio going to the “ Cure bowl” in Orlando. So Brandon and Christina are on an all expense vacation leaving tomorrow. Ok. Interstate 76 is now a Blue light special. Damn. Locals, sheriffs and highway patrol. Thanks again for thinking of me. Sue 💕

So the end of 2023 is quickly approaching. Earlier this year my family doctor reminded me it was time for my 10 year colonoscopy. At that time, I said no problem I would schedule and have it done before the years out. Well it’s time. So, after I had the procedure scheduled for December 11, my daughter put my granddaughters first birthday party on for that Saturday. December 9. Now, to keep the effects of the prep from being a vast explosion of by-products, I start the liquid diet for 2 days instead of 1. So while guest are enjoying chicken stir fry cheesy potatoes pasta and meatballs pepperoni sandwiches nachos with cheese sauce cake ice cream I will be enjoying black decaf coffee and green jello. So once we get home on Sunday afternoon it begins. I already bought a book and as always: It is what it is. I am only asking for prayers for a healthy report. Be safe.

@Sea Dog How frustrated you must be canceling a cruise. But you as well as Linda’s health is a priority, As you well know and acted upon. Here’s hoping when surgeries occur for a quick safe healing rehab phase. Take care.

I unfortunately had shingles after a miscarriage. Working in anesthesia a nerve block would prevent residual effects. My case was diagnosed as the “plates” started to form. I was started on “anti virals” ( was patented for AIDS therapy). And took one Zovirax 5 times a day for 2 weeks. Prevented the further chain of blisters. Lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks due to loss of appetite. I have already received the shingles vaccine in two separate vaccinations. Believe me as others have said. You don’t want shingles. Be safe.

@h20skibum Mark and Susan. GREAT NEWS. Continued prayers. ❤️

On a girl’s cruise I was the victim of the screaming demons. Attributed to the ice I had in port. Now very careful.

Yes it is. !!! Awesome game till the end. Never a dull moment.

Well. MAC CHAMPIONS MIAMI OF OHIO!!!! CONGRATULATIONS COACH PALIDAR. 💕 Driving to Oxford Ohio. PARTY!!!!!!!!
