No snow here yet but in the forecast... My phone is warning - soon... Drismal day!

Holidays: Get little attention from me. So do unsolicited phone calls! - just got one - hung up.

Oh yeah - holidays - I think we may have had CA thanksgiving at cousin Doug's (R's) A tolerable event; Ann is a good basic cook. And very nice. The upcoming: The house will be clean by the time the family arrives (thanks to Mylene)- week of 15th for unstipulated time. Vegan family for the most part so no turkey! And not much celebrating. Just being in the same place will be a gift!

Trying to get the left hearing aid in place. It roars if not exactly correct - getting there is sometime easy sometimes difficult... OK! And going to the office for help - I dread the trip and am avoiding it! I manage most of the time.

So big news today was taking that "looks life a comforter out of its bag and finding it is one I treasured - found it at the Sally Ann and did not think twice! When we were still inhabiting the dreadful place in the city. I am delighted; I remember worrying about it and requesting its rescue! the fellow doing some work in that BR actually put his tools on it! The backing is a beige cottonish of no interest at all but the top is beautiful! It could be machine embroidered silk or a silk-like material. A soft green. Yes, the doofus did make a small tear in it. The second or third event that rated - never again! But R kept having him do things. Enough comforters! R happy to have his weighted blanket (too much in warm weather).

Thankfully! that guy is no longer a part of our lives! Put that on my Thankful list! And the family coming! And Mylene cleaning with a lovely spirit and competence. I think I shall ask her to just get it as clean as she would like her home. I need to walk around with a dust cloth attached to my wrist! Mini cobwebs everywhere! AND, most mornings, I walk into a bit of cobweb in the upstairs powder room. Old house (1902) - old spiders!

Getting organized for the winter. And the family...
