Weds, Weds.

Hello, I was under the weather on Monday, but by the evening felt some better. I had my monthly Antique Meeting on Tuesday. It turned out very well. The salads and breads were yummy and cookies for all were yummy too. Our speaker was quite knowledgeable on her topic of knife "rests". She had all kinds that she brought as samples of her fourteen hundred collection! Some were crystal, also cut glass, porcelain, pottery, silver, and ivory just to name a few. She had some from the 1700's up to the present time. She has been collecting and writing about these for some forty plus years. She was really fun to listen too, and learn from. so we had a really great time. I am still feeling rather blah, don't know if my new prescription of medicine for my diabetes is working well, have had really high blood sugar readings, which shouldn't be. Doctor will call me back after regular hours to talk to me about it. Possibly of changing once again. :=(
Had a day off of regular walking today, as well as volunteering for the local senior center. Our national holiday remembering our fallen and present soldiers all over the world. Have our flag flying proudly. Do you? I always think of my Uncle Dave, a WW2 veteran on days like this. I miss him a lot. Also have grandsons in the service, one Army and the other a Marine. Thanks guys! Ta Ta Antique Rose

M-m-m pie for one. Yum.

I'm back.

I can't believe I haven't written anything in eight days! It was a rather hectic week. My sister was having lots of pain, and as it turned out had to have her appendix removed!! She had just got over the flu, and before that her cancer surgery!! She has really had it. I am hoping that nothing else happens to her, or anyone else in the family for awhile. This year has not been kind!! I also had to get my letters out for our monthly meeting of the Antique club. I had really good hostesses this month, and everything is a "go"!! Yea, didn't have to sub for anyone, and don't have to bring anything! Most of the time there is something I have to bring, or someone can't preform their duties. So I am looking forward to a great meeting. It is our Thanksgiving luncheon, and also our time to plan the Christmas get together, and everyone signs up to bring something. It is always fun and we give a decorated tree to a family that needs one. I stayed overnight at my daughters house too, to take the granddaughters to school as my daughter had to take her husband for a doctor's appointment early in the morning. It was nice a nice visit too. Came home in time to help the hubby with his turn having a Oktoberfest. A monthly get together of his friends. I get the food ready and leave so they can have their "man" talk!! Gives me time to shop and be out and about too. Works out!! Ah, another busy week coming up. So ta ta for now. Antique Rose

Here come's Thanksgiving.

Welcome November

Ah, it's November. The weather doesn't seem so, but of course the mornings are a bit cool. It will be Thanksgiving before we know it. I like Thanksgiving, not only for the delicious food, but for all my family and friends, who I am very thankful for. I look forward to what the month brings.

Friday once again, so quickly time is passing!! I had a busy week. My walking partner was not here today, so I went alone. It was quite pleasant, and I enjoyed the quiet walk and took my camera with me in case there was anything worth capturing. Although I enjoy the company and usual talk we have each day, I truly enjoyed my time alone. The morning sun was just peaking over our local mission peak, and there was a pink cast to the sky. The ducks and geese taking their morning baths was neat too, as it was not quite light, but not complete darkness either. I finished up my 2.2 miles rather quickly. My mind was not on the walk, but other things that I could mull over while the quiet morning was mine. I picked up painting that was given to me by an artist that visited our senior center, it was not framed, and I took it to a local frame shop where they stretched and framed it. It came out just beautiful. I will bring it to the center next week to show him, and thank him once again. Got a letter off to my great grandson, and a card to my grandson for his birthday on Monday. The little guy called me to say he got it today, and he was very happy with it. It was nice hearing his voice saying "I love you". You never tire of hearing from all your "chicks". Our friend is improving too, so the week was a nice one!! My daughter will come on Sunday, so the week will end quite nicely too. Antique Rose

My Punkin, among the pumpkins. :-)

Wow!! I was looking at old albums today, came across this picture of my first grand baby. He is turning 30 on the second of November. Where has the time gone!!?? Babies are so neat, but they just get older, too fast!! I now have nine grands, and four great grands. They are all precious!!!! But of course there is only one"first" for that short while, and of course a special spot in your heart. :-)Now he has a special punkin of his own, who just turned five. What fun he is going to have with him this Halloween. Antique Rose
