website problems

 The online show is having problems with its web host...When I try to access my promoter's page I get a security notification. Means buyers can't access the show either. The show's promoter is working with the web host... oh well...

later... seems to be fixed

 we went to the local craft show.. It is being held in the Blue Springs senior center. Most of the booth holders were OLD. We bought some great looking jam - Gooseberry and Frog - some small pecan tarts and a nice scrapbook Christmas card for a friend in Florida.

As we left it started drizzling ... also found a desperate message on etsy from someone who needed to get one of my fabric items up to Houlton, Maine by the 13th. I answered her.. she decided to take a chance and paid.. and we boxed it up and it is waiting for the mailman... So my retired bear making friend gets some more money.

Bob decided to replace the flapper valve's on the two upstairs bathrooms...no more listening to the water running every so often..  Tigger, the orange cat, had been sleeping all morning but was unhappy when he couldn't join Bob in a bathroom!! Unhappy means yowling and scratching on the door.

Our daughter dropped by with some gorgeous white sharp cheddar cheese from Costco... yum... that she had bought today. 

 Christmas lists became a topic of conversation...

 

 

 

warm day today.. snow on Sunday

 It looks like today will be warm... 70 ! But there is a possibility of snow and cold on Sunday.

My online show starts tomorrow so I will be sitting at the computer and hopefully boxing up sales.

Our local senior center - Vesper Hall  - is hosting a craft show Saturday. It's their first so Bob and I will give it a look see.

Our craft/quilt group met last night. It was held in the common room of one member who lives in a senior living facility. A man joined us.. a friend relative of the hostess. He said the facility is dead quiet after dinner and he was delighted to find us. Guess he's a little lonely.  

If one is thinking about moving into this type of a facility... that would be something to consider. Bob says we don't do much in the evening either but we do have each other....

 

 

Election day

 Bob and I headed off to our voting site this morning... There was only one item on the ballot and the voting site was almost voter free. We did see a few people leaving and a few more came in while we were there. Most were unbusy oldees like us!

When I logged onto the computer I found I had sold another piece of fabric from my retired bear maker friend's stash. So did the USPS click and ship... put the box outside for the mailman and emailed the buyer that it was on the way... still lots more.... Bob suggested and pushed...nagged..for me to have a sale on etsy. I gave in... it's set up for a week later this month.

If I do sell during the sale... it means less money for my friend, but fabric leaves mt house!! 

Watched the news this evening. We are keeping our fingers crossed ( later .. it looks good!!)

 

 

 

 

time change

 it's been gray enough and dull enough that changing the clocks hasn't made much of a difference.

Bob did all of the changing... though I did nag a little about changing the bedroom clock. I kind of want to know what time it is when doing the pee trip routine!! 

I headed out to the grocery store "early" thinking it would be empty because of the time change... but no it wasn't. 

Later I had two more tasks... a batch of tunafish for sandwiches and a pumpkin pie . The cats were delighted with their "tuna juice" ... the water in the can of tuna.

Did a little of this and a little of that 

Trick or treaters!!

 I think the week plus " trunk or treats"  all over Blue Springs made the numbers going house to house last night much smaller. I read on Facebook that some houses didn't get any!

We did get some... the best was the group of teenagers all dressed in great costumes and very polite! 

So what do we do with the leftover candy!! Some people are doing another trick or treat tonight. Some talk about making smallish bags of candy and donating it to food banks or to the little book libraries that have switched over to food.  Just so we don't eat it all!!

The weather people are posting a freeze for tonight...

Don't forget to change your clocks tonight if "applicable". 

sunny day?

 It looks like today will be a sunny day and so I will be able to take bear pictures for the December online bear show!!

The last few days have been so gray and occasionally wet that Bob and I were a little down!! Our front lawn is covered with wet oak leaves! Bob will have to start picking them up for our "green stuff" trash bin pick up... though there have been ads on Facebook saying they will pick up one's leaves if curbside... wonder what that would cost?

spent time this afternoon adding Pay Pal buttons for the next online bear show... a week from tomorrow. Also cut up fabric for a red cat for the December show...and read a JAJance  JP Beaumont book. 

October 26th 1962

That date is a big one here... it's the date when I picked Bob up at a Halloween get together my freshman year at Syracuse.... yup  63 years ago!!

He was wearing a dark aqua shirt and the baggiest tan corduroy pants! Me? I was wearing a madras plaid shirt waist dress... oh well.

Next February will be our 60 wedding anniversary...
