Belated happy birthday to DR JRand's mother!

Ditto!

[TCB]

My sister and brother-in-law served turkey and ham yesterday.  The ham was one of the best I have ever tasted.  Although I eat ham, it has never been a favorite. But this ham was wonderful.  They bought it at Costco.  The hams were selling so fast that the butchers just rolled them out in the box, and the people were grabbing up right out of the box.

I love ham! My mother hated fowl, so for Christmas and thanksgiving we always had a huge ham and ginormous turkey. During the school holiday break, every lunch was a wonderful leftover sandwich of ham or turkey with swiss and mustard.

So much of the ham you buy these days is overly salty.

I think I shall greatly enjoy SAVING MR. BANKS. But it will likely be on pay-per-view or Blu-Ray, rather than in a theater. I just have no patience for rude audiences in public anymore. Alas.   

Go to an afternoon matinee on a school day.  I find those audiences are generally better. But not always

[TCB]

For startes, we had Tom's Famous Shrimp Dip, my niece's deviled eggs, and a shrimp ring. For dinner was ham, turkey, my niece's homemade macaroni and cheese, my sister's out of this world potato salad, and rolls.  Dessert was some kind of fruit bars that my sister's sister-in-law made.  Everything was wonderful.

Wish I'd been there!

I wish you had been, too, Larry.  You would have been most welcome.

[Cillaliz]

Man, I had a hard time waking up today.  The cats came in a couple times...first Ricky, then Callie....she rarely tries to wake me up but did today.  Am thinking about going to the first showing of Saving Mr. Banks today before digging into my wall scrubbing project. 

[Jrand73]

I am thinking about seeing SMB today as well....

[Jrand73]

It all sounds delicious DR TCB!!!

Thanks, everyone....my mother will appreciate the birthday wishes.  She indeed loved her bracelet.....

[Cillaliz]

Has anyone seen The Secret Life of Walter Mitty?  Unless it's really good, not planning to see it in the theater

[Cillaliz]

Happy Birthday to your Mom, JRand

I love seeing my parents, but it also makes me sad to see their memories deteriorating and to see them struggle to do things they've always know how to do. It's just aging, but it's really stressful to watch.

Welcome to my world, DR Cillaliz...

It's been happening for years, but it's getting to the point where it won't be long before something has to change.  For the first time ever my mom said that maybe she needs to carry around a notepad and take notes so she doesn't forget and she's finally acknowledging she doesn't remember things.   

[Cillaliz]

Well, better get moving.  I need to get something to eat and I think I'll go see Saving Mr. Banks at 1:15. 

DR Singdaw, have you been to the theater in St. Paul?  I would think a Minnesota audience would be well behaved.

It sounds selfish, but I am glad I missed that part of life's aging process.  My mother wasn't young when she was killed, she was 79; but she was still active, vital, and sharp.  That made it tougher to lose her at the time.

[Cillaliz]

Vibes to everyone~~~

[Cillaliz]

It's not selfish TCB.  It's not easy, but I feel so lucky to still have both of my parents in my life.

I do have another project now.  They got dad all set up with his new computer, but didn't transfer anything for him.  I wasn't there long enough to do it properly, so I brought his old computer home with me.  I'm going to hook up a spare monitor and keyboard and burn his photos and other stuff to cds and label them all for him so he can find them.   Don gave dad a 1 gig flashdrive, so I'll transfer stuff via the flash drive, but he did some great photography before he got too shaky to do it and I want to save that on CDs too.   

[Cillaliz]

Yikes, I have too many projects....think I'll go to the movie

BK mentioned it yesterday after his jog, but I was also amazed when I left for my sister's house how deserted the streets of Tacoma looked  It was like a ghost town.  A complete reversal of the day before.

[Jane]

DR Cilla I had to laugh at your laundry comment as laundry is exactly what I did most of the day.

[Jane]

From Bruce:

I do not understand any friend who would let politics come between the friendship.  That is just the height of something or other.

I completely agree and am totally baffled by it.  In a way we kind of dropped good friends we had here, not because their beliefs were different but because they wouldn't stop badgering me when I didn't agree.

Walter Mitty sounds as though someone took the story by James Thurber and decided to make it an action flic.

Hi, Everyone! Today is the DH's birthday -

[Jane]

DRs elmore3003 and Jane - I am not sure that my camera would do it justice. You can get a feel for my neighborhood and the houses by looking here:

Beautiful homes though none of them are lit up for Christmas.

[Jane]

VIBES FOR DD DYLAN!!!!!

[Jane]

DR JANE - I think girlfiend is probably correct....although the husband who invited her to live there is not much better....  Everyone is back home this morning, so I don't know what to expect.

I would not want to live across the street from these people.

[Elan]

Hey, everybody!

Vibes to all those needing them. Particularly sympathetic vibes to DR Cillaliz: my beloved grandmother's dementia (ongoing for the last 5 years) has started speeding up the last few months, and it seems like we're entering the final waiting phase.

[Jane]

DR Jrand, please wish your mother a
