Off to a dinner party.

[Ginny]

DR Ginny were you able to call your resident ambassador and find out what happened?

I tried to call her and got no answer.  Meanwhile, one of my Current Events Club friends, who lives here, stopped by and brought us a beautiful Christmas cactus.

[Ginny]

DR Ginny - do you have a Cricut machine? I just saw one advertised. It looks like a lot of fun.

I don’t, DR Singdaw, but my niece does.  She’s been on a pretty steep learning curve with it.

[Ginny]

It bugs me the way so many people think that because something is old it has no value. I love old things and even little things can be meaningful to someone. Going through my late neighbor’s stuff is quite a project, but I’ll just do it as I can.

DR Jeanne, I have been so grateful during our downsizing that our son and daughter-in-law have wanted so much of our stuff.  They sent a photo of their Thanksgiving dinner, which they ate at a table that belonged to my grandmother using china that belonged to my mother.

[Jeanne]

I am sleeping extraordinarily well these days.

Yesterday was my first "fully functional" day of the week since my colonoscopy.  The drugs they used had a lingering after-effect that made me feel a bit out of sorts.  It did pass, however.

I often react to drugs given to me for a procedure. The doctors and nurses say, “That shouldn’t happen,” but it did. It does. They often really knock me out.

For three days?

Four days in one case.

[Jeanne]

I’ve been doing laundry — in HOT water — and will soon do a little cleaning. So mundane! So pedestrian!

And so appreciated

Yes.

[Jeanne]

I gave Bruce two boxes of old Hollywood photos taken by my late neighbor. Lots of celebrities — Bob Hope, Debbie Reynolds, Tom Selleck, plus lots of people I didn’t recognize. There were several of John Travolta, too. Bruce felt that John Travolta would like to have them, as he’s probably never seen them, and they are being passed on to him.

That's nice.

Yes. Bruce surprised me when he mentioned it; I’d forgotten about the Travolta connection.

Quiche in the oven, CVS version of Mucinex purchased, stuff is ready for church this weekend.  Excited to get back to White Christmas this eve. 

[Matthew]

Found this on Facebook today:

Oh, my! Candid is right!

Sondheim was never one to hold back, I assume.  If you follow these letters that keep popping up on Insta or Facebook.  Now I have to find that recording of Shirely Bassey because I'm totally intrigued!

[Jeanne]

It bugs me the way so many people think that because something is old it has no value. I love old things and even little things can be meaningful to someone. Going through my late neighbor’s stuff is quite a project, but I’ll just do it as I can.

I think it is wonderful that you volunteered to do this project.

I’m just too frugal to see things tossed if someone can use them. Apart from the photos, I found 3 men’s shirts, brand new, 7 brand new photo albums, and assorted other stuff. I’m sure there’ll be some takers at the Goodwill store. I’m maybe a quarter of the way through.

[Matthew]

HERE it is.  Those lyrics..... oy and vey

At least someone gave you a nice welcome   I hope all is well with your ambassador.

You are very fortunate.  I know the photo gave you joy.

Your excitment is wonderful.

Let us know if you agree.

Trashing good clothing is a huge waste, and sad.

I agree, my daughter has my paternal grandmother’s china cabinet, dating from the 1920’s in which she keeps HER paternal grandmother’s china.

When you usher in December by kicking out the scammers in your life, that's called the Santos Clause.

I’m quite relieved he’s finally gone, what an embarrassment

I was running around all day today

[vixmom]

First thing I had a zoom meeting which I had to leave halfway through to go to my audiology appointment

[vixmom]

She adjusted my hearing aids and showed me how to use the app to change modes or amount of amplification

[vixmom]

Then I had to drive over to my GP’s office for my follow up

[vixmom]

I stopped at a local bakery, well known  in this area as it’s been family owned  for over 50 years, and picked up a plate of fancy cookies for the staff

And to want it at her age, she is indeed special.

[vixmom]

My doctor did a thorough exam, and reviewed and discussed with me the results of the myriad tests taken in ER

[vixmom]

Then she wrote me a referral for a cardiologist
