Good Morning all,
It is 5:45 a.m. in still dark Oakwood.

Same old, same old as it seems to be lately. I’m taking the plunge today and trying to use a flash drive to download some of the things off my computer like my recipes I’ve been putting on it and some photos. I hate fiddling with the computer because I really don’t know anything technical about it and Larry knows even less.

Doug, we gave our daughter Christine an Insta-pot for Christmas and she is enjoying it too. She sent me a photo of her corned beef and cabbage and carrots dinner she made last week.

Hope all went well with your surgery, Steve.

Char, Those buns looked delicious yesterday and Ted was handsome with his long hair and stylish mask you made for him.

Ellen, I’ve seen people using that kind of wheelie tool instead of crutches when I was at the Base Hospital to get around. It looks like it would be a much easier way to move when you can’t use one of your legs or feet.

Maribeth, so sorry your surgery has been delayed by this horrible C-Virus.

Bill, sorry you had the little scare with an elevated temp yesterday. My normal temp is 97°, so a reading of 98° would be high for me.

to all who are on their way.

SYL,

Sylvia

to all,

Morning all. Day 1465 of isolation here. anyone got a spare soccer ball? I think I’ll name it Wilson.

Everyone is fine. I have adapted well to isolation but my last 15 years before retiring was spent working remotely so I am used to being at home and nt going out much.

Chris does the grocery runs and the two boys are still working but very limited. Ian does real estate photography so he mostly sees only the realtor and lots of his shoots are vacant houses.

I love our Instant Pot Doug.

JJ is that a billabong? Makes me think of Waltzing Matilda. I learned that song in first or second grade (in Florida) and I have loved it every since. My grandparents has a cuckoo clock from Germany.

:grouphug: at safe socializing distances of course.

JJ, a good time to go cuckoo.

Marshall, Tom Hanks named the soccer ball after his wife, Rita Wilson.

Having to stay home to care for Janet has conditioned me to isolation. Though, I still feel the urge to run to the hardware or lumber store to hunt for supplies. I don’t!

Annie, is Roger staying home too?
Bill

Good Morning!!

A beautifully sunny day with a high of 10C:thumbsup:

Same old, same old here too except one new sketch:D

JJ, WOW, look at all those clocks. I never had one but I have heard the cuckoo in real life. Lovely pictures and good for you for getting out and about.

Doug, glad you had a better sleep and the monthly challenge photo is lovely.

Maybe I’ll do some googling and have a look at all of the Insta Pot recipes.

Ellen, I saw the scooter in yesterday’s Wash, will be interesting to see how you maneuver it, is it for the house or to go outside with?

Sylvia, re being a computer expertise – you and me both:eek:

to you Annie and Marshall!! and Bill!!!

I just drove Chris to the store and back. I stay in the car. She was in the medical field and has had all kinds of vaccinations for stuff that I haven’t had. She is better prepared to ward off this mess than I am.

Bill, I didn’t know that. I always assumed it was named for the Wilson Sporting Goods company.

everyone,

Looks like it will be sunny and up to 7 today. I might open a window a little when it warms up.

Nothing planned for the day except I have to get to the fridge to feed my starter. Big plans.

Brian has left a sandwich, energy bar, and water by my chair. He said it’s like feeding the cat every morning. :rolleyes: Supper will be easy leftovers from last night (pork chops, mashed potatoes, and broccoli/Brussel sprout mix).

I have a cuckoo clock that I found at a garage sale years ago. It was in pieces in a box and I had to figure out how to get it to rebuild it. I didn’t have it going long though because the chimes and a song played every 15 minutes day and night. It’s still hanging on my wall but not being wound.

Not much else interesting from this corner of the world so I’ll wish you the best day possible and I’ll check in later.

Edit:
Uschi – it’s mostly for inside. It will be at least a month before our snow is gone so I’m hoping to be in a walking cast by then.

Steve – the sore shoulders are from the CO2. I can’t remember the reason why but I do remember all the patients that had laparoscopic surgery had it.
