Sudokuaholics Anonymous 7

This SA group is absolutely the "bestest" group of friends who care about each other! Blessings to all of you!

Now, I really must leave for the night, as it's 1 am and we have another early morning. I will try to pop back in again before Christmas, but can't make any promises. I just had to switch back to this avatar - my favorite, as it reminds me of my childhood tree. The unused C avatars will need to wait until next year. I hope all of you and your families have many wonderful experiences in the next days leading up to the end of the year! Happy, Happy!

That would be right finally finished work and home, now no one to talk to. Well y'all have a good evening or day.

Julie..... a perfect TOPP!


I shouldn't be up right now, but some loudmouth decided that it was a good idea to bark their fool head off around the corner from the bedroom door. Every time I got up to silence the idiot, all dogs were laying there seemingly asleep. As soon as I got back in bed, the barking began again.

Broni! Two whole weeks off!!! And NOT for medical leave!!!! Feels great, doesn't it?

I think everyone must be busy wrapping presents, baking goodies , partying or generally getting ready for Christmas Day.
I have just put a pineapple in the blender with a little water and we are enjoying a lovely fresh pineapple drink while taking a break from getting rid of stuff out of the spare bedrooms. You can actually see the beds now!

I am not sure if I will have much time to be here tomorrow so I would like to take the time now to wish each and everyone of you a wonderful Holiday Season and Health and Happiness for 2009.

Thank you for all the support you have all given me over the last 4-5 months. It has been wonderful to be able to sit here and 'unwind'. Yes we all understand what we all mean to each other.

June.... I truly hope that you and your family have the best Christmas present of all ...... good health for all. And I do mean ALL! and You have had a year that's made of the stuff of nightmares. It can only get better, especially with all the love we send to you.

Maen Sudokuland! Come and have a cuppa with me, you know you need one.

Not as cold this morning, I am happy to say and but the wind chill puts us below freezing even though temperature does not. We are warming, and will be shirt sleeve weather Wednesday through Saturday again. Changeable weather here. Winter comes in 3 or 4 day stints, then it is warmer again.

I must go out today, to library and pharmacy. Hope not too many people at pharmacy, but as it is in a store, not stand alone, might be a crowd. I might pop in the grocery for a Baking hen, I have not had enough chicken/turkey and dressing. Too late for turkey, they are frozen and require about 3 days of thawing.

We planned to go to Al's brothers for christmas Day, but we had car trouble on trip to my sister's house. the new thermostat Al put in did not repair it, it is a strange problem. So today to parts store and try something else, and I am not sure I want to make another 2 hour trip when car is not reliable! So we may need our own chicken and dressing here!

We're coming into a warm spell here. Last night's low was 4 F...... tomorrows low is supposed to be ~ 50 F !!!!!! Now that is insane weather!

Good morning all! Cold here, 6F, and it is windy.

If I don't make it back before Christmas, I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas! May the Christmas spirit bless you and your family, keep you safe and healthy, and bring you peace and happiness and may your New Year be filled with joy and prosperity! Merry Christmas!

Bean and Steve, I hope you get well soon!

MizT, I hope your car troubles are solved quickly!

Good Maen and Merry Weasles SA7!
Oh - I'm just filled to the brim with all the lovely sentiments and beautiful hearts (love the chocolate ones!) that have been posted over the past couple of days.
I can only echo my gratitude to all of you and your friendship and support

Heidi, my inlaws probably wish they had your weather. It is a little too cold and snowy for them. Last night with the wind chill it brought it down to -20F! It's supposed to warm up today to 20F and get up to the 30's by Christmas!

Heidi - I couldn't help but giggle at your dogs feigning sleep when you got up to silence them...clever little fellas!
MzT - so sorry to hear about your car woes...hope Al can fix the problem so you can make the trek.
Like Stella, I want to send my "get well" wishes to Beanie Baby, Steve and Tami's not-so-beastie boy. Not the time to be feeling ill with the big day around the corner.

Meant to don my Chanukah wear to honor the start of the holiday this past week...but am a bit late - thank goodness it is celebrated for days on end!
Happy Chanukah Tami and family!

All done wrapping the kids presents. Have to check to see if I have enough for hubby's stocking and wrap those and my inlaws stockings. Still working on my Christmas cards, have not given up on them yet!

Vici, you're up very early this morning!

Have a great day everyone!

Heading back to bed now.

Stella - I can just picture all the wrapping paper, stockings and cards strewn all over...at least that's what my place looked like a few days ago!

I would like to wish everyone on SA all the blessings of the Season, and a Happy and Prosperous 2009.

I have run out of time, to go and visit individual pages.

Bedtime for me, another busy day tomorrow.

Sleep well, lil sis! Hope you and Peter got everything checked off your lists today!

In case anyone is interested...I posted just a couple of photos in my gallery from my family meet in the city on Sunday.

VICI, lovely snow photos on your page! I am glad you have snow, and not me! I mean since you wanted the stuff hehe.

It is still windy here but warming a lot. Must go out later, waiting on hubby who needs to go to taow also, we shall go together. He needs to visit the auto parts store, hope this time it is successful!

I'm back up and awake this time. The feed truck is due to arrive in about 15 minutes, with feed for sheep and cows. Then I need to go to town for dog and poultry feeds. Then I can relax worry free tomorrow.

GOOD LUCK on your trip to town, MizT!!!

I have a feeling that it's going to be really quiet here on site over the Holidays.

The feed truck hasn't arrived yet. Everything else is on hold until they've delivered the feed.

STILL not here.

Just stopped in for a few minutes to say hello. Took son to doctor today as he started running a fever. It is just a head cold, gave me some cough syrup for him. He just needs to rest and drink plenty of fluids. I want him to get better as he has a busy weekend. Friday his aunt and uncle are taking both boys to lunch and a movie as part of their Chanukah gift. Sunday we are going to an engagement brunch for my nephew and soon-to-be niece. Sunday afternoon my family is coming for dinner and to exchange Chanukah presents. Hopefully a few days of rest and mommy's homemade chicken soup will help.

Chicken soup aka Jewish penicillin, cures a LOT. Tell him to

Good morning all.BRB after a puzzle and a read.

Anyone else having trouble getting to the jigsaws?

So true Heidi, you are not considered a true Jewish mother until you master making chicken soup.

My mom taught me to make how to make chicken soup but mine is better.

That should read "my mom taught me how to make chicken soup" but I was talking to my mom as I was typing and not paying attention.

June..I didn't have any trouble which was a surprise!

That's her opinion.

How many of you think I make better chicken soup than my mom? She thinks hers is better.

Christmas eve,and a few are sick.....get better quickly so you dont miss the fun.
I will have a toast to you all by the pool tomorrow and I want to thank you all for the friendship and listening to my troubles which are very minimal really,compared to some.
everyone. Cheers

My son just asked for a snack. I think that means he is feeling a little better.
