:) Page 3, eh. Well, I've been known to show up much further back than that. LOL It's the price you pay when everything is just trucking along all normal like, which it Usually is for us, until I show up scatter brained heading to the ER or something. LOL
Actually things are going fine for Molly, we're still urging her up the steps, which she will do if we are with her. I'm swamped at work. (as usual) Getting ready for Thanksgiving, so Mother in Law arrives tomorrow and is here for a week I think. I seem to have invited more people to dinner than my dining table actually holds. Drat off by 1!! So, pulling out the card table, cleaning it up and doing a trial run this weekend to see if it will work. After that, hunt around the house for 3 extra chairs. *sigh* Fun never stops eh! hahaha
Do you have big plans for Thanksgiving or planning a quiet one? We use to have quiet holidays, now they seem a bit hectic, I think it goes in cycles.
hugs, all

Yeah for Mollie!
I'm glad that she continues to do well!
No plans for Thanksgiving. The rule in my house if you can't boil it, nuke it, or thaw it... you won't find it at my table. I hate cooking.
Kidding aside, I will cook a turkey albeit under protest - LOL
Sharlene:
Glad Molly is doing well. Instead of the card table you can let Molly handle that turkey, she will make quick work of it! Glad everything is going well, and you are getting ready for company. Blessings

Oh yea Molly and a turkey, Disaster I'm sure!!!
Actually kind of a sad time today, in that my Brother In Laws brother passed. It sounds distant, but the rule in our family is when you marry, the whole family becomes part of one big family. My sister and BIL are heading out to Oklahoma on Saturday for the funeral next week. It was rather quick, an inoperable brain tumor, not diagnosed till very late and then since the diagnosis, just very quickly down hill. Worse, is that my BIL's mom is also on hospice care. In fact her and his brother had the same case worker. *sigh* Some days are just rough. He was best man at my sisters wedding.
I'm glad Molly is doing so well still. There are times when I wonder, but you do what you can with the facts as you have them. So I hope what I am doing or not doing is right for her. So far I think we're okay.
My Mother in Law gets in tonight. Molly will be really excited to see her again and run to her bedroom every morning to say hello. ;) If she doesn't find her, she'll still roll around in her stuff (loves that scent of family) and then head downstairs to give her a big hi, look at me wiggle. :)
If I am scarce in the coming week this is why. I like to spend time with her when she is here and I'll take her to her favorite store, Tilley's and out to lunch, the normal stuff.

Hi Sharlene,
It's weird hearing you talk about Thanksgiving. In the US, Thanksgiving is the last Thursday in November. I cannot wait as I get the whole week off. Work has beyond exhausting this year and there's no let up in sight. There are far too many needs and not enough of me to go around. I'm going around putting out little fires everywhere, but not getting much else done. It is terribly frustrating!:p I am also still very emotional over Buddy, so that hasn't helped either.
I am sorry to hear about your family members being so ill. I had a friend that had an inoperable brain tumor. He went quickly once it was discovered. Much too quickly. My thoughts and prayers go out to family to give them strength to do what needs to be done.
On the upside. I am thrilled that Molly is Molly and continues to do well.:D Are you still coaxing her up the stairs? I can still picture your hubby doing that and a smile comes across my face every time. What a guy.:)
Enjoy your visit with your mother-in-law. As they age, we end up getting less and less time with them making every moment special. Xxxx
We don't do thanksgiving at all here :D, all I know about that I have seen in the movies!!
So sorry to hear about your BIL's family having trouble. Gosh it is always so awful when a family get's hit one after another. I feel for them Mum under the hospice care losing her son like that. She did not need that right now, so sad.
I hope you have a lovely week with your company Sharlene, I bet you whip up a lovely feast and I want to hear all about your tasty treats, I am back on a diet to shape up a bit so I can live vicariously through your cooking!! Kiss for Molly xxx
hahahaha, I don't even want to think of dieting this weekend. In Canada we are all about food and more food. LOL
We did a trial run of the table today, so think I have that figured out now and a way to fit everyone in.
There will be lots of food, so far, the plan is, Roasted Turkey, ham with pineapple, Portuguese potatoes (that is cooked with onions and garlic), leek casserole, caramelized carrots, cesar salad, dressing, homemade cranberry sauce and hot rolls. Then dessert. Pecan tarts, apple pie, pumpkin pie, coconut cream tarts, home made cookies, ice cream, whipped cream. That should do it right :) Only thing saving me is having two young men at the table that have healthy appetites.
LOL Kathy, yea, hubby is a good guy and he adores Molly too. A major break through! Friday I was working from home and she went down the steps to the basement. Well, of course she started barking for me to come down and escort her back up, or at least watch her come up. Well, I was on a conference call and on the computer and couldn't jump up and go to her. She make it up just fine on her own. I thought she'd stay forever, but I didn't go near the steps and she did make it up. Hopefully a few more times like that and her confidence will be back. Crossing my fingers.
I think I just invited my mother in law to come for Christmas, if she wants to. :) I should probably let hubs know. LOL She is also contemplating, a possible christmas trip to Italy, or come here and then go on to Spain for a long winter holiday. Then there is always staying home with my brother in law, and his family, so no idea what she will do.
I'm taking her shopping and to lunch later this week. I also set her up with a sony reader to see if she likes ereading or not. It would be easier maybe when she travels and I don't use it any longer, so if she does like it, then maybe a mini ipad would work for her. Still trying to figure that out.
Well, I sure did prattle on tonight. That is a big risk when I start typing. :)
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
OMG I am salivating!! Out of that lot I think I could have Caesar salad (love it) and a bit of turkey sans sauce, oh and ham :D
Your a good person Sharlene, looking after the family like you do! Lucky MIL with such choices, I would go for Christmas at yours then Europe, Spain or Italy not fussy there :D:D
I have had such a busy day, pulling all the furniture out and vacuuming behind and washed about 6 loads, bit of afternoon breeze has that all dry already. Just got back from the Garden Centre, met a friend for coffee there after dropping Flynny with his Nan and G'Dad for an afternoon visit. I bought Parsley, curly and Italian, Coriander, Basil, another tomato, quite a few lettuce and this lovely black petunia so have a bit of planting to do now so lucky we have 3 more hours of sunshine left to get it all done. OHHH plus a new super long hose to get right around the house and not come apart at the joins :D:D So off I go, to get this day of housework finished!! xx
