What's everybody doing today?

[snappy1]

I actually thought about you when I got up at 3:30! I thought, "I bet if I call Snappy she'll be up"!! Glad I didn't !!

I was up at 4, but stayed in bed until 5:30 so I didn't wake up DH.

And @sonya123
Mine were on the clothesline in the summer kitchen so smoked. The water was brown and stinky . I splurged several years ago and got H Kimball’s American clothes pins. They were $2 each. I’m not about to pitch them.

And don't eat them when they come out of the oven!!

Got up and built a fire. Guess I let it go out last night. It's kind of chilly in here this morning.
We got 6 inches of snow over night. We were planning on going shopping down south today. I'm not sure that want to drive a hundred miles in the snow pulling a trailer. Could leave the trailer home, or wait until tomorrow.

so sorry

I just get the cheap packages and the $ store and replace them when they fall apart, but they last a while

that I am! About to go shop at Aldi....recalls are going to be ignored LOL

LOL debating if I should splurge and buy a few new dinner plates at the $ store. Most of ours have at least one chip in them. How is that for cheap? I think I will buy a few in case we have dinner guests. Would be sad to cook good food and serve it on crappy looking plates....but most of the time we have guests I get paper plates anyway to avoid doing so many dishes

Sad early morning for us. Our guests that came in from New Mexico, they come in often to visit...the man worked for my husband for many years and they've always been close. He had a heart attack in the early morning hours, wife doing CPR. No good. He passed. The house was crazy with EMT's, Coroner, and the mortuary came and picked him up. We are all so sad. She's finally resting now, will shower, then I'll take her to the mortuary. He'll be cremated, and he wanted his ashes spread some in the Virginia mountains where he lived, and some in the New Mexico mountains where they've lived for a while now. They were leaving for TX this morning to have Thanksgiving with his sister. I'm sure his wife will stay on with us till the ashes are ready, then she's planning to drive to TX and her and the sister will do the arrangements with the family for spreading the ashes. The first EMT here went sprinting in here, thinking it was my husband, running to the back of the house. One daughter arrived here last night, another will be arriving with her boyfriend in a couple of hours.

I am so very sorry for you and all involved. May there be lots of support for you all, and may some of the memories that you shared get all of you through this week and beyond. Hugs.

 

[Mountain trapper]

Sorry to hear about that Amish. Small consolation, but at least he was surrounded by family and friends.

 

[Morgan101]

So sorry for your loss, Amish Heart. That must have been quite a shock. Prayers sent to all of you and family.

May his soul, and all the souls of the Faithful Departed rest in Peace.

 

[Tim Horton]

Sorry for your loss.

 

[sonya123]

wow, that's really bad news AMish, so sorry for yours and especially the wife's loss

 

[Pearl]

Hugs to you Amish, prayers for his wife and all of you!!

 

[LadyLocust]

Oh how sad. As others have said, at least he was surrounded by people who cared about him. He is now in the hands of the Almighty. And Mrs. is in a place filled with love. Much peace & prayers to all involved.

 

[Haertig]

Amish, my prayers are with your friends family and yours.

 

[Amish Heart]

Thanks all of you. I took her to the mortuary and all is now taken care of. We are looking around for his wedding band, he took it off somewhere. Hungarian inscribed in it. Will find it eventually. Other daughter arrived, boyfriend seems ok, pup grabbed a guinea. We're all pretty tired.

I know God always has a plan, but sometimes it's hard to understand!!

 

[d_marsh]

That's unreal @Amish Heart. I am sorry for your loss.

 

[sonya123]

so daughter just called me and tells me " is it ok if we come a day early, like tomorrow?" I of course tell her that is fine, so then she tells me why...she has off from work because her and baby have norovirus.... she says she has had it since Friday but feeling better now. I hope she doesn't bring it here, I really don't need ANY virus, especially after the covid crap after our trip.
I am debating if I should have just told her to stay home but then I feel bad for her having to spend thanksgiving by herself . Always some problem, this grandkid sure picks up a lot of viruses. Last time they were here she got foot and mouth disease ( not the kind animals get) . None of us got it, I think only little kids get this, but norovirus is the stuff people get on cruise ships.
Well, we never got sick on a cruise and been on a few, and we also didn't get sick in India, so hopefully we won't pick this up. I am going to ban her from the kitchen and make everyone use a lot of handcleaner.

What would you do? Tell her to stay home ? Or take a chance of getting sick? It would be better if she had covid...we should be immune to that for a while

@sonya123 , double up on the L-lysine!

That is quite shocking. Maybe your strength is what she needed and God knew that.

I collected a good number of English walnut cuttings today as cloning fodder. It was a bit nippy but I did get cutting from two trees. Then I spent the afternoon preparing the cuttings. I got a zillion expecting more failures than success. Pleasant afternoon.
