Judy your link to Glacier National Park brought back some great memories. I’d forgotten it is partly in Canada, but that makes sense since Chuck and I usually went to Canada on my summer vacations. I loved the mountains and I still have a memory of the train trip I took to the west coast, and woke up at dawn just as the train was passing through the Sierra Nevadas. Absolutely breath taking. I think I was 18 and the memory is still vivid in my mind.
Teresa, sorry I must have missed your birthday. Hope it was a good one. I’ve decided, personally, to have birthdays but not count them for a while. I did that once before, I think when I hit 65, went back for 5 years and then started over. No wonder I can’t remember my real age!! And unfortunately, I love all the pies you mentioned, especially pecan., and homemade!!!
Kathy I have a few pieces of Fiesta Ware in sort of a turquoise color. They are fruit dishes, I think, but I mainly use them for dried kitty food. I like the color, it goes with everything in my house, and I think they last forever. Great news that your surgery went well.
One of my best friends, Becky, is back in the hospital again. I don’t understand all the stuff that is wrong, but it doesn’t look good. I’d appreciate your prayers for her recovery, please.
Virtual Hugs, Ginny

I have been doing Retail Therapy! I bought a dress for the Mexico Wedding in February. Sketchers to wear while on my BC holidays. Am getting my floors done in my bedroom, walk in closet and ensuite I am also doing the ceramic tile around the tub. He's going to patch the drywall where the toilet paper holder goes. It's too low and it bugs me. I brought 4 samples to try in the bathroom. My walls are "Big Bird Yellow". I can't really tell which tile looks best as the yellow over powers everything. I tried taking pictures but there is too much yellow tones. I put them in the half bath which has grey walls and the sink is almond. Makes it kind of easier but still hard. Had no idea that yellow would be so dominate. The tub is almond. Costs too much to replace it.
I was looking at toilet paper stands and didn't see one that I actually liked. Am thinking of buying a new rod that has a bend in it. Mine is rusted and has been there since 1988. I really like the shower curtain rings I bought when I moved in but you guessed it they are rusted. so I think I have to buy new ones. I looked but didn't see anything I like at the store I was in.
Am also doing the floor in the laundry room. The stick on tiles are coming up and they've seen better days. He showed me a sample and I liked it so that's what's going in. He is also going to get me a price on the laundry closet. That has been on the list for awhile and it needs to be done. He's also going to put 2 outlets that have the UBS in them. One of them they missed on the island and the other is going to go in the entrance way/living room wall.
I figure I might as well get it done then it's done til I get more money.
I am feeling pretty good. I get tired and I seem to crash on the couch and so much for sleeping in the bed. I guess I need to set an alarm to go to bed.
Judy Glacier National Park by the US/Canadian border is huge. I've been there a few times and each time I gone it's been really windy and cool. I would like to go again and spend some time looking around. There is a cruise I believe on the lake. (could be wrong it's been awhile).
Got the $$$$ for my car but I don't know if the girl has picked it up yet. I left it at the Dealers' because I didn't have a ride to get the new one. My new car drives so smooth. There are so many options on it. Haven't figured out too many yet. It has a weird smell so that needs to be addressed as the smell gives me a headache.
Have to vote in the Federal Election before I leave. If one doesn't vote one doesn't have a right to complain about the government.
It's cool and was quite foggy this morning.
Hope everyone had/has a great Sunday!
Hugs Kathy
