I am so sorry I haven’t been in here, but I do have an excuse. Last week, I went to the doctor as I was in pain and still am. I have a fracture in my lower back. This was between two Craft Shows one week apart and I had to do sewing and other things for the second one while in pain and on pain pills. I will get names and addresses to you as soon as I am able to set long enough to get them done.

Hi, Pauline, I do have your address as long as you haven't moved. I will add you to the list. So glad to see you are joining. Thank you for letting me know. You have a great day.

Hi, Yes, I didn't put down Midnightmom, dogmom4, Becca-Anne and her friend and I am doing it too. Are you joining us this year Annarchy???

Hi, So far there are 5 of us. So, get your thinking caps on. I think we will stop the invite November 12. So, anyone wanting to join in, please let me know by then. 😊 Snowmom

Everyone, I'm so sorry I haven't been in for a very very long time. My DD and I both had Covid, and in fact, I missed going to church in July except the last Sunday. I'm thinking she went one time without me. Neither one of us were really to sick. So I was glad we had gotten our shots. Yes, I got them and since I live with her she got them. My heart doctor said I really needed to get the shots. So far neither of us have gotten a booster shot. I don't plan on it unless my heart doctor tells me I have to. I had a bad sinus infection after the Covid, I was sicker with the infection than with the covid. We had a family reunion at one of my nephew's homes in August. September just came and was gone. We had a Craft Show in May and again last Saturday, Oct. 1. We have one in November and going to get one at the end of October. No, I'm not busy. Yes, the Christmas Ornament Exchange is now on line. So far there are 3 of us. I will try my best to be in here more.

Wow, I forgot to let you know that I am making an ornament too. So, there are 3 of us so far.

You two are so good. I haven't been counting my miles for a long time. Well, I do have a fit bit and so it count the miles for me. So I do write down how many miles a day. I need to get back to the treadmill and bike, it has been a while since I have been on either on. I'm so tired by noon that I just can't seem to do much at all. Now, my excuse is that I am needing to get crafts made for the craft shows we have coming up. We had one last Saturday and I have to get things made to replace what sold. I know, there is always time to set around, but, that is the time I need to ride and walk. I so agree. You both are doing a GREAT job. I couldn't see the HUGS smile. So,

Good morning everyone. I so agree with you Momo, the younger ones who are interested in genealogy really need to talk to us older ones. I have one sister alive yet, she is the next to oldest and is 91 years old now. I am the youngest one and well I'll just say I am about 12 years younger than she is. We are the only ones left in our family and have been interested in genealogy for years. I will also say that from what I hear, most of the younger ones are not interested in genealogy. That is to bad as there may come a day they will wish they had more information. A few years ago, I made a book for each of my kids and gave it to them for Christmas. I have also made a book for three of my nieces and 1 of my great nieces. Right now I have at least one nephew who has asked for all the information I will give him. All of these are the older ones, I think the youngest one is almost 40. But any of them younger have never seemed interested. It really makes me sad that they don't seem to care.

Good morning, everyone. I know I haven’t been in here for a very long time. Things happen. My daughter had Covid the last of May, and I had a test done on the 5th of July and of course I had it too. After the Covid, I had a bad sinus infection. Now, I am sure some of you are wondering about the Christmas Ornament Exchange so I am game on it. For those who haven’t done it before, you need to send me your name and address so I am able to send the list to everyone who has signed up. What you do is you make an ornament to exchange with everyone who signs up. You can start making them right away so you won’t get behind. I am one who sometimes gets behind. We do craft shows and we have two of them coming up, one in October and one in November. So, I am going to be busy making things for that too. We just had one this past Saturday. Anyway, if you are interested just message me with your name and address and I will put you on the list. We try to get them out by Thanksgiving or shortly after.

Thank you for the Birthday wishes. I had a very good day. So sorry I haven't been in here lately. I have a nephew who is very ill and I've been trying to keep up with how he is doing. He is in the hospital, in WA. and of course after his heart beat went down to 20, they used a defibrillator on him. They said if he hadn't gotten to the hospital when he did he wouldn't have lived. He has a bad kidney and also an aneurysm and they may work on them at the same time. As soon as he is stable enough to have the surgery. No today they say he has Covid. He had the shots too. So, I'm not getting anything done around here except keeping in touch with one of my nieces. I don't get on line as much as I use to either. Thank you so much for remembering me.

Happy Belated Birthday, hope your day was great.

I know prayer is what gets one through a lot of difficult times.

Oh, Thank you so much Midnightmom for posting the pictures. It is snowing right now and I'm not sure just how much we are going to get today.

Just in here for a couple minutes. Thank you Annarchy, I did get it and love it. Thank you all again for joining in the Christmas Ornament Exchange this year. Sorry, I didn't get the ornament sent to Annarchy until Christmas Eve. My DD worked late several days into the night and just didn't feel up to going out late at night. I don't blame her at all. In fact, she was working Christmas Eve until 4:45 or 50 AM Christmas Day. Then she had to get back on line and do some checking later in the morning. This week is her week of vacation and she was on line working again yesterday for a while. We have had a lot of snow, about 13 or more inches since Christmas.

So sorry to hear about your loss, Joyfilled. for you and your family.

I am really late with this. Happy Belated Birthday, mommato3boys, hope you had a great day.

Well, I am so sorry that I didn't let you know that I had gotten my ornament from Midnightmom, but it is on the tree. Thank you so much, love it. I also have gotten the one from mommato3boys, I got it today as we don't get our mail every day so probably came yesterday. Love it too. Thank you both so much. Love all three of them. To all of you. I've been trying to get things done around here but I'm not getting much done. My arm is still not doing what I need it to do. You all have a Merry Christmas.

I got my ornament from Pauline. Thank you so much. Love it. I'm sure happy I got mine out, hope you have all gotten them by now. Midnightmom, we all understand. Snowmom

Just in here to let you know that I got my ornaments mailed today. Leaving in am early for TX.

Just in here quick to post this thread. Hope you are all getting them done. I know what I am making but until I get the Craft Fair things done, I won't be working on the ornaments.

I sent the list out to the others Ann, so if you join us let me know as soon as possible. I hope you will be able to join us. Sorry about your computer.

Oh, I forgot to say I will get the list out very soon. Maybe tomorrow. There are 4 of us on the list, Pauline joined us. Thank all of you for joining us again this year. Oh, I forgot to mention that I now have a compression fracture, I think that is what it is called. So I am restricted in doing a lot of things I normally do. Like bending, picking things up, lifting much weight. It is in my lower back. Of course one of the first things I did was drop a bunch of my scrapbook paper on the floor. So, Nancy had to pick it up. Time for me to see about getting something to eat. Have a great day everyone. to all.

Hi, I will add the fair pictures in about a week. Right now I'm busy with craft fair things and it is next Saturday. I've cut several rice bags out and need to get them sewn as well as the inner bag. I can't lift my sewing machine so have to wait for someone to bring it up stairs and get it on the dining table. I also need to get my ornaments made and sent soon. I really will put them in here as soon as I have more time.

Jeepers, I hope things work out for your mom. Sometimes there is just nothing else for some of us to take. I use to get Z-Pak's and then they don't do those any more. Why, I have no idea. If I remember right, my MIL use to take a lot of Prednisone too for the same reason, rheumatoid arthritis. I do know next time I go in for a sinus infection I will be very careful and tell them I don't want to take that stuff again. My bones are old and I have weak bones anyway and to give me something that weakens them more, no thinks. Am I the oldest one on here??? I hope things go well for you DIL.

Momo, I am so glad to see you again. I know I should have been in here ages ago but I just haven't done it. I did take things to the fair this year, but not nearly as many as I have in the past. If anyone would like to see what I did, I can post pictures. I'm waiting to see who will enter yet before the 30th. Snowmom
