Just need to talk to my friends (200)

Thank you for your kindness and I will post as soon as I can.

Paul Newman is shopping in Trader's in Santo Fe. We are shopping the same isle and make a few comments back and forth. Same thing at checkout. The lines are always long and everyone chats.

I do not miss Santa Fe at all. There is an enormous amount of "ill will" that understandably invades the whole town. 30 years ago it was quite different. It had flavor. 10 years ago it was totally tourist and "gentrified". Both Dick and I hated it.

I did love Christmas there. When we left it was still a very religious community so Christmas was about the birth of Jesus. The farolitas are beautiful when they are lit Christmas Eve. One year ( before we owned the house) it won the grand prize.

Oh, I had a similar experience with Dustin Hoffman in NYC. We ran into each other 3 times in one day. The third time was on an elevator. He said "hello again" and we laughed.

One time I was getting on an elevator and a movie star was getting off. I said "oh, it's you" and she said "yes" and we smiled. I could not, at the time remember her name…lol.

Good morning

Glad you are getting to see the beaver moon Lorita. I have been looking but not seeing it. We have been having very cloudy weather. I may not get to see it.

Painting is something I do not like to do. Always looks nice when done.

here…cleared out more stuff and will put remaining odds and ends in the attic today

Good afternoon everyone. Boy, I've certainly missed y'all.

Last week was busy, too busy and all self inflicted! Does anyone else do that to themselves? I did accomplish a lot, but feel as though I missed out being on here. The biggest project was the hot tub and preparing it for winter. I don't use it in the summer - its simply too hot. I drained it, power washed it inside and outside and cleaned the filters. Then I polished the inside shell and refilled it. The water is balanced and ready to go. I still need to polish the cover and the skirt. That will wait a bit. I very much enjoy the hot tub. What I hate is getting into the hot tub and then getting out. My knees just scream at me. That takes away all of the relaxation for sure.

We had several appointment and I guess life kept me busy! Next week looks like it might be the same way, ugh.

Iris, I have an app (and you can go to the website) for the International Space station. We go out and watch it in awe every time it is flying overhead. The first time I saw it, I had a very deep emotional reaction. I still do, but I'm ready for it now. I was born and raised in KS, in a tiny town with brick streets and not stop lights. So you could go a mile out of town and look up and be in the middle of the Milky Way. That blew my mind as a child, and as an adult DH and I still go and look at the Milky Way every time we go home. Such beauty.

Lorita we've got football to watch today and tomorrow. I need to cut back two bushes in the yard then I'm going to watch. Last week wore me out and my knee are telling me about it. I've already got dinner going - smoking some steaks.

Be safe everyone.

HB the mechanic could be sick himself. It’s kind of bad though to be left out of the loop. Hope you find out soon. My sister so Savannah to go to ER yesterday and when my sister went up there car wouldn’t shut up. So she ended up going to the third place, they got it taken care of Apparently has something to do with her remote starter .

Eagle I’ve been wondering about you. Several rocking chairs have been empty this week. What is a busy week for me too.

David, I can understand all those emotions. Think that would be pretty normal.

This is my Velveeta cheese. I wouldn’t say it taste exactly like velveeta. I think it’s just a little bit firmer than velveeta. I only use the fourth of the recipe. I’ll wait and see how it tastes and after I make a few things with it. Then if I like it the next time, I’ll probably make half of the recipe. I couldn’t even make it into a loaf because even my small loaf pan was too big.

I also got my cranberry relish made so will be interesting to see if it gels like she said it would from the pectin in the apples. I think even if it doesn’t it’ll still be thick enough that it would stay on a sandwich. I like cranberry gel on like a chicken turkey or a ham sandwich, so we’ll see.

got one of the bedroom suits from my other house moved to my empty bedroom today. My mom also had a nice teak table that she used on the back patio. So I now have a nice table on my closed porch.

Eagle, I grew up in Brooklyn in the 1950s but I could see stars in the sky.

I helped a friend of mine pack her belongings today. Next week she will move, but she hired a couple of guys to do the actual moving.

David, best wishes on your new home with your fellow veterans!

I can not leave my wife can not take of me anymore.

It's cloudy here so we missed the full moon but saw it the night before when it was almost full. Beautiful. DW had a bellyache so we went to the 24 hour Walgreen's at 4 AM to get some Tums antiacid/antigas. I guess she has a virus because she threw up yesterday and slept all day without eating. Better today and able to eat but still hurts. At least we saw the moon.

I seldom drive at night anymore but I can still do it when I know where I'm going.
