@carma Carl, wow, winter is here. We're supposed to get some solid precip here in NJ and down in Virginia (where I'm heading tomorrow). Not as much as you (in theory). We'll see what happens.

Not as cold today but I had to scrape my car windows when I went out at 7:25 am to go to Yoga class. Guess it's finally autumn. For next week, there's mention of rain/snow showers.

Gail @songbreeze Yes it is very very sad and a very tough time for dear Alicia @4931nextdoor. My heart goes out to her. She is such a beautiful lady and so is her family. Makes you wonder why good things happen to good people. Alicia, Jerry, their daughter and Grand daughter showed Mels and me around Disneyland when we were over there visiting.We had such a great time.

Alicia @4931nextdoor All painting leads me into, is a big mess. I am the worlds worst with paint. I seem to get it everywhere except where it is to go LOL If I attempted to paint the front door, I would have paint all over the verandah, I'd have it walked down the hallway, I'd have it all over me and God knows where else through out the house. There'd be paint handprints everywhere LOL. Gordon banned me from painting many many years ago LOL

Wendy @wjweese I hope you are feeling better after your surgery.

Gail @songbreeze I hope everything is going as well as they can be for you. (((((hugs)))))

Julie ....Waving to everyone

@4931nextdoor Alicia, how are you? I hope doing well. Yes, this is DH's annual meeting (AGU -- American Geophysical Union). And yes, my SIL lives in La Jolla. DH was actually in LA/Long Beach last week, I couldn't go as it was end of semester for me.

@fyrqueen Katie, so sorry to hear about little Bryan. I'm assuming it's DIPG. The daughter of friend's of my daughter died just over a year ago, just before her 11th birthday. They have set up a foundation, Smashing Walnuts, as the tumor is the size of a walnut. I've been involved in various fund-raisers and awareness programs for childhood cancer -- it is such an awful thing.

@fyrqueen Happy Anniversary!! (And so glad your drain "cleaning" worked!)

Off to the post office already this morning and just getting ready to wash my hair and gather up what all I need for my afternoon at the museum. Still crocheting like mad for Oktoberfest.

I've got my paper work...sales, inventory etc. to do for August, but I've keep putting it off. Well, for now, I have to run and start getting ready for the afternoon.

@4931nextdoor ALICIA ... a thundershirt is like a vest that makes the dog or cat feel like it's being hugged or protected and is suppose to reduce anxiety. https://www.google.com/search?q=dog+thundershirt&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&ie=utf8&oe=utf8&gws_rd=ssl

The site has become so unstable that many cannot even get into it. They've set up a Facebook page and are trying desparately
to locate all members. They've tried sending out emails...some got them, some didn't. Please go to https://www.facebook.com/groups/1423387431281137/

Don @donscns JimD @newtonenterprises Alicia @4931nextdoor Shelly @shellyrae37 Here is one of our heritage train rides I have never been on it but I'd like to one day. Its about a 4 hour drive from me so it would mean I'd have to stay over night somewhere.

@carma Carl, not at all doubting your id, thank you for it!!!! And let me add my thanks and appreciation for your wonderful Glass Goodie posts.

@carma CARL … When you didn’t post yesterday, I wondered if you were frozen solid from all those below zero temps you’ve been having.

@donscns DON … Thought of you yesterday when I was going through my Coudersport Glass book…had nearly 20 water sets pictured in beautiful colors, lovely shapes and enamel decorations.

@4931nextdoor ALICIA ... Thanks for the compliments for my grandbabies. 🙂 How interesting that you will be in Indianapolis in April. Do you have relatives there? The glass show doesn't start til April 18. Will you still be there? I'd love to go and meet all the people I've known only through Cyberspace.

HI to REEN!

I tried to get my pictures off of my phone but my computer wouldn't do it. I'll have to talk to my son and get it figured out.

@allirish123 TRACY ... be sure and read all the new policies before listing...no text on the pics, no frames allowed on gallery pics, return policy, on and on. Gotten to be a painful process. I use Auctiva and pay 9.99 a month. I like their templates and also you can schedule your auction start times for free. But I closed my eBay store and haven't listed anything in the last month, so don't know how long I'll continue with Auctiva. I opened a ruby lane store and have no need of a template there. Best of luck!

@4931nextdoor ALICIA ... what splendid items! So sorry that I'm absolutely no help.

@mainewildrose SUE ... We are all here to learn and I for one never find additional information "belaboring"...to the contrary, I find it very helpful reinforcement and appreciate it greatly.

@jerseystar NANCY P ... you get your DD all moved into her new place only for you and her to leave it?! LOL. Maybe you both are so tired from the moving you had to take a vacation from it. 🙂

@favoritegram LAINEY ... do not know the story on your DD's son, but if prayers are welcome for strength and healing, count me in.

@reen REEN ... I can understand wanting to take a lot to auction, but would you quit selling entirely? For all the frustration, I still enjoy watching an auction or listing or item I have in booth to see if it will sell.

HI to GAILMAC, CARL, HELEN, AMBER, DON, GEORGE, and SHELLY.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!
