What a Bother !

It has taken forever to get onto the blog. Since I don't use the blog daily, I have no idea what went wrong !!

We are having a lovely autumn day; clear blue skies with a crispness in the air. After all the snow and cold, I an aged to get the tulips that my ED bought for me. Canada 150 are a white tulip with red markings at the bottom that look like a maple leaf. I still have quite a few plants that are still flowering. We are gradually getting the yard winterized. The most important thing was to get the winter tires on the car ! Two of our trees, the birch and the Evans cherry are still holding on to their leaves. We use the leaves as mulch on the gardens. Looks like hubby will be raking a lot more !

Three years ago was the start of our nightmare. As ES said, it some ways that seems so long ago. Less and less has YGS ever mentioned his mother. Right now he just misses the idea of having a mother.

ED is off to Spain and Portugal this week. As sil is now in Memphis, we are helping out with picking up kids and driving them to swimming.As we just got this week's schedule, I have to redo the menus as they'll be staying one night for supper.

I managed today to repair some jewelry. I think I'll have to go to Michael's and get some studs for my earrings. Don't where they've gone. I've also finally written a letter to an old colleaque; it's only taken me a month !One of my favourite tops somehow reappeared from the wash with a little hole. It must have been snagged by a zipper or something . I shouldn't have hung it up and p it it away in the closet because now I am too lazy to walk upstairs to grab it ! Next time I am up, I'll hang it on the railing so I'll remember to bring it down and stick it in the sewing room The quilt is coming along nicely. It is going to take forever though !

Tonight is lasagne and an apple crisp. We have to choose names for Christmas. We do want an early supper because all our shows are on tonight ! I'll watch PBS and then the rest of my shows I'll watch on demand.

Our 'errant' EA is supposedly coming back tomorrow for half days. We are taking bets as to how long she will last, or til the teachers decide that she can't do her job. Will be interesting to see what happens.

I'm still watching and reading about the American election. Not only was the last debate atrocious, but the charity dinner was absolutely awful !  Their future is grim.
