The Daily for Thursday Nov 5, 2020

[smitty34877]

I  very  much  miss my red hair  but  do  have   the  pleasure  of  seeing  the  exact  same  shade  on  my  grandsons' head. My DH  and  I  tried  grits  a  few  times  when  our  son  was  in   college  in  the  South but  maybe  we  didn't  have  the  real  experience.

We are in exceptionally good mood today, because we have just returned from DW's oncologist's clinic with a clear pathology report! 👏 Yes, thanks to all the positive thoughts and prayers from you all, she is cancer free.  They still intend to complete radiotherapy whenever the surgical wounds heal, but her pathology reports show that the chemo worked and all that is left is some scar tissue. 

We hope everyone has as good a day as we are having! ❤️

What joyous news! I will toast the two of you tonight! Praise be!

Re Breville oven. I have same one, problem is I need my glasses to read The front.

Good afternoon all.  DH is working on dinner right now and we have a red haired grandson, so a good day for us.  It's pork schnitzel for dinner tonight along with the last of our garden Swiss chard.  Love the sayings, the drink is not for me.  Yesterday I posted that we were going in an outing, it was well worth the drive to Niagara Falls.  The Poppy Project display was so beautiful and meaningful.  We also went by the falls- the Canadian falls was so misty it was hard to get a good picture, however I did get a clear picture of the US falls.  It was like a ghost town yesterday, never before have we seen it like that.  My best to all

Once again, today's sunrise photo is actually a sunset.   This was taken on my 2001 Yangtze River cruise:

 

I don't expect to get to another installment on my 2003 trip today.  Way back (last year I think) one of my TV's died and I've been using an old, tiny black and white set that I had from many years ago:

 

I picked up a new one today and am setting it up:

That poppy project is outstanding, Georgina.  Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

 

Love the pics of the Falls, too.  Hard to believe Niagara Falls as a ghost town.  It would have made for a nice visit 😉

Arriving late to the CC party...  I, too, am addicted to stout beers.  I made a promise to myself that I would have one every afternoon at 5 PM...  Since it was Rich that posted about stout I thought he might be making fun of my "stout" physique AKA beer belly...

 

Like some other posters, I was worried when I got the email from HAL this morning.  Thankfully it was only the one that put off final payment for 60 days instead of 90.

 

Cheers from coastal NC.

Looks like you "borrowed" at TV from one of those Russian hotels! 😉

@gigianne, a gorgeous show of handmade pappies, and very meaningful!  Thanks for letting us share, vicariously!

Thank you for sharing your visit with us. The response to the initial request, is what gives me hope for our world.

I wouldn't do that to you, but I know that you like stout beers so I did think about you when I saw that entry.

My mother, sisters and brother all are/were blessed with red or blonde hair.  My own hair has aged in the pandemic, I call it white, hair experts might use a more glamorous word to describe.  Haven't seen the siblings or my dear mother  in person in months, can't wait to be together!  Planning to visit with the AZ sisters and Mom (who is 100 and 1/2!) before the end of 2020.  Hope for the best!

 

God bless your Mother!  I hope you, Mom and the sisters can get together ASAP.

The Poppy Project photos are beautiful, as well as the Falls photos.  Thanks for sharing with us.

We are in exceptionally good mood today, because we have just returned from DW's oncologist's clinic with a clear pathology report! 👏 Yes, thanks to all the positive thoughts and prayers from you all, she is cancer free.  They still intend to complete radiotherapy whenever the surgical wounds heal, but her pathology reports show that the chemo worked and all that is left is some scar tissue. 

We hope everyone has as good a day as we are having! ❤️

Wonderful news.  So happy for you both.

[StLouisCruisers]

I have mentioned DH does the cooking now for us so I'm glad to see a special day for him!  He was at loose ends when he retired and decided he needed something to do.  Personally, I think he was used to being in charge of something so he needed a "project".  

 

Since I cooked for him for 40 years, he has about 30 more years before it's my turn again!☺️

[Dismomx5]

Later check in today.

Thanks going to everyone for the thread and the friendly chatter. 👍 to the quotes! Pork chops for us tonight. I like the new format. I'm finding it easier to read.

This is how DH cooks. He overcooks everything! When I have some delicious, juicy burgers, steaks, pork tenderloin etc, he always claims "raw" (definitely not!)

Well, today's CC is a strange one!  I'm finding the new print very small and difficult to read,.  But thanks to everyone posting!

Ann, you can hold the control key and the plus key at the same time, and it will increase the font for you,

We did an early run into the city to pick up some things that needed to be replaced in the house-globe for a ceiling light, some sink repair things etc, and Costco. So, while I got a great deal on some things, the Costco $200 came in to play.

Temperatures today were wonderful. I can live with the mid/high teens for the next 5 months, but I don't think Mother Nature has that on her calendar.

Be well. Stay safe. Be kind. Wear a mask! 😷

National Love your Red Hair Day!  That is for me if you look at my cruise critic name. It used to be natural red or auburn but, sadly, now  it comes from a bottle.

@VMax1700what wonderful news; I'm delighted for your lovely DH, and for you as her top cheerleader.

 

@Seasick Sailorwe decided to start small and went for the Black & Decker Crisp'n Bake Air Fry Toaster Oven.    It seemed a good compromise between a stand-alone air fryer and something to also replace the original toaster oven we've used so much over the years.  I can't wait to start using the air-fry feature to see how it works!  I'm sure there's an online support group for air-fry recipes, etc., so I'll have to check it out.

 

Smooth Sailing!  🙂🙂🙂

Laura, I wanted to circle back to thank you yet again for sharing the art of Bio or eco printing with us.
 

It took some time, but I just received the item I ordered from the Ukraine. So here are pics of both items I ordered via Etsy. The first is the cotton tee from the Ukrainian artist.The second, is a vintage button-down from an artist in California. I still love the white blouse you created where the leaves were spread out, but these will do.

 

Thank you again for sharing your art with us!

A little uncharacteristic language from our Governor.  "It's not that hard, just wear the d*** mask".
