Juanita,

Needless to say I was in a bit of wad about the insurance thing! I am stil anticipating that I will have insurance tomorrow…fingers crossed.

I still can’t decide what to do about that blanket basket. One thing about me; making decisions is painful! I’m going back and forth…regardless of which one I get, poor Peep will lose her favorite napping spot. I guess I could move that basket somewhere else! Hm…I think I’m on to something. Now to decide which one!

Spice jars sure do get grimy! I buy spices in bulk and refill my jars as needed. From time to time, I run them through the dishwasher.

So, jackets is your thing! Are your pockest filled with various treasures? You probably love to put one on that you haven’t worn in a bit to discover what you stashed away! That’s kind of fun!

We will enjoy our little trip! It’s been a long time that just the two of us headed out on just a little vacation. It will be easy and slow.

Hugs, Lynn

Argh! You might want to check! I assumed I did as well and have had 2 dr. visits and 1 lab visit this year, only to find out now that I was never covered! Not such a pleasant surprise. We have yet to receive the med bills for those uncovered visits! That’s the next shoe to drop.

Keeping my fingers crossed that you do have insurance!

Hugs,Lynn

In reply to Jill Mackay.

GOOD DAY, JILL! (I’m yelling so you can hear me all the way over in Queensland! 😁) And thank you so very much for your wonderfully kind words. You have no idea how they make my heart sing! 🎶 BTW, I’m listening to a podcast right now that is out of Australia, called The Lady Vanishes…it is really long and I’m probably not even a quarter of the way through it. But it has my attention.

Thanks again for taking the time to write those kind words. I do love this little job of mine! But, it is all the more enjoyable when I receive messages like yours. ❤

Have a great day!

Hugs, Lynn

I’m so excited when I see your email waiting in my list of mostly dull emails trying to tempt me to buy something!!
Thank you Lynn have a great visit and I’m now going to order some yarn you recommend and knit your cute purse!!
Thanks again and best wishes from Noosa, Sunshine Coast Queensland Australia!! X

I feel your pain (virtual) regarding health insurance. In early December as we experienced “open enrollment” with our former employers, I counted up to 8 companies I was communicating with to get things lined out. I never imagined that being retired could be so much fun! (I hope I have health insurance, but have yet to attempt to use my new insurer).

Hi Lynn,
No health insurance? Oh my, I would be at wits end if that happened to me. And it would be my luck to find I needed it for some big problem. Hang in there!
I like the first blanket basket, in fact, after cleaning out a trunk, might have to invest also.
I’m going through my cupboards, did you know the spice jars are the germiest thing in the kitchen? I thought about it and yes that’s probably true. So I cleaned mine out and found a lot of old ones, and wiped down the ones I’m keeping. Now to get on to the dishes…ugh!
I’m one of those that can’t seem to find just the right purse. I don’t like a big one, but I like one with pockets. So I keep trying. If there was a way to carry everything I need without a purse I would be delighted.
My big thing is jackets….oh don’t get me started!
Well have a good time in Florida!
Take care,
Love, Juanita
