FFF

Hosted by Susanne.

Wow, if you are like me  time seems to be flying by and  there are so many things to do!!  So I will get right to it.

This week  so many    wonderful things are happening...  earlier this week we got the call our  sofabed  we ordered for the girls room    was  scheduled to be delivered.    They brought it just at dark last night..  Oh, man, of only  they had sent  two strong, burly men. It was  extremely heavy and  they sent a  a bull and a mouse. I'm sorry, but  even they knew it wasn't  going to be good.    Poor Lynn had to  throw himself into the melee to get that  monster up this stairs.  I  prayed  that he would  survive..    Finally,  with that last  huge  grunt  it was  in place!

I do have to say Lynn is sort of puny and not feeling great today  just when I need him  the most!!! 

Later in the week,  we got the call that the plantation shutters for the den  were  ready to be delivered....   but we do have to wait until next Wednesday,    ...    that is something to look  forward to!    I can not wait! That will finish off the back of the  house .. all shuttered  up.  All the bedrooms upstairs have them  so,    I am so delighted.. I would love them in the  living and dining room,  then we'd have them everywhere,  but I do not think that will happen.    But unless we have company we are rarely in those room at night!  I just love to buckle up the windows after dark!    Long story!

A couple of months ago I was told my colonoscopy  was scheduled for  the day after Thanksgiving.  I, for one, wasn't too upset.  The way things are I could do Thanksgiving anytime so I set it up for  tomorrow night and  I am  getting  very excited about.   Then this week  the  hospital called to say the procedure was  cancelled to call for another  appointment. I think the dr. figured out the surprise. So   now I am set up for the end of January.    I was looking forward to getting it over,  but  it is  what it is.  I just hope Lynn doesn't  expect Turkey  next week!

So in preparation for tomorrow night I have been decorating the house for Christmas..




So right now I am deep in throes of preparing a holiday feast;
Maple Gazed Pork Loin Roast

Butternut Squash soup    Sweet Potato Casserole

Cranberry, almond rice pilaf

  and   friends are bringing

Roasted  Brussel sprouts and a   

surprise dessert!  
 
So that's it folks!

  2. I know what you mean about getting the colonoscopy over. I dread it but also want to get past it. Well, the preparation more than the procedure itself. I had mine in January and am good for another ten years or so.

    Glad the sofa got there and got in place safely.

    Hope you have a good early Thanksgiving !

  3. Your Thanksgiving dinner sounds so yummy! Enjoy!
    Oh yes, wrestling furniture upstairs is a workout in itself. Now you won't have to go to the gym for a week.
    We have wood blinds on every window in our house except two. Always closed at night...
    Have a great weekend!

    1. I am just so happy Hubs didn’t have any residual pain or damage. He just about over did it! Have a marvelous Thanksgiving!

  4. Oh dear, that is quite a combo for furniture deliverers. Glad you got it up the stairs and everyone survived. I'm surprised they would book a colonoscopy for the day after Thanksgiving. Enjoy that meal. It sounds delicious!

    1. Haha, Susanne, when I called to get both hubby’s and my colonoscopy back in July, I was told there were only 2 appts left for the year. So knowing we wanted them by years end, I opted for this Friday’s knowing we could just do our z thanksgiving maybe after on the weekend! But it certainly does sound ridiculous to give someone that particular date, esp. for a colonoscopy!

  5. Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving meal. Shame the appointment got pushed back. I think the anticipation of that procedure is almost worse than the thing itself.

  6. You got that right, Wendy. I was all set to get it done. Now the end of January! Trusting God then that all is ok since I have to wait! God bless you this Thanksgiving!

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
