November

November has been normal busy.  I had a couple of doctor appointments.  At that point everything seems to be going okay.  The pain in my hip and knees has been getting worse, and when I tried to talk to the doctor about it he was very rude and said maybe I needed to go to pain management classes.  I told him I had a few other things to talk to him about, but he told me to hurry up and say what I had to say while he was checking my lab results on the computer.  He said we were on a time schedule.  I am going to change doctors.  In fact, I have made an appointment with an orthopedic doctor regarding my hip and knees.  The appointment is the beginning of December.

Jana and I have been busy Christmas shopping.  We are both finished.  Now it’s on to wrapping.  Jana has some of her gifts already wrapped.  I just have my bedroom so full of stuff I can hardly get to my bed.

Speaking of my bed, I put my new Christmas quilt on that I made.  I had it quilted at my favorite quilt shop.  They did an awesome job.  It’s a lot bigger than I thought, but that’s okay.

Brian and Tracy came down to visit the weekend before Thanksgiving.  We waited until then to celebrate my birthday.  They gave me an Alexa for the house and for the She Shed.  I have the one in the house set up.  It’s been fun.  It was a fun weekend.  Ryan, Stephanie, Ray and the Derdowski’s joined us.  I received several gift cards to buy more quilting stuff. 

Thanksgiving was celebrated at Kevin and Renea’s.  I was given the task of bringing dressing, and Jana was giving the task to bring broccoli with cheese.  We did good.  K and R had turkey, ham and all the fixins.  Ryan, Stephanie and Ray were there.  Renea also got her mom from the nursing home so she could have dinner with us.  It was also Janet’s birthday so we celebrated that.  Janet had a really good day and she enjoyed being with us.  We enjoyed having her,

Thanksgiving evening we watched the movie CHRISTMAS VACATION.  Love that movie.  Jana had not seen it and she thoroughly enjoyed it.  We all laughed a lot.

We have had some pretty cold weather.  We have had several nights of below freezing.  We all “drip” our water so it doesn’t freeze.  So far, so good.  This morning my thermometer said 20 degrees.  Now it is supposed to warm up a little.  I guess winter is here to stay.  I even bought a new winter coat.  So did Jana.

I haven’t done any quilting or sewing since moving everything to the she shed.  I have been too busy doing other things.  I didn’t even get Jana’s tree skirt embroidered.  So, she will get it next year.  Hopefully, I will get it finished by then.  😊

I think that pretty much takes care of November.  My next blog should have me current.
