Been a busy week for me. Wanted to get leaves cleaned up, neighbors lawn tractor put away for winter, some errands run and some wood crafts cut out, before I had the Mohs surgery done yesterday. I knew that once I have that I am not going to be able to do anything physically strenuous for a little while. They don’t want you putting any strain on the stitches or making your blood pressure rise from straining on something to start bleeding. The surgery went very well. He took the mole and the tissue from both spots and analyzed them, then just had to do it one more time and that was it. I have stitches in both places now which as of right now are sore. That’s to be expected of course. I put ice pack on for a few minutes every couple a couple hours or so and if I need to I have some Acetaminophen I can take for pain. Tomorrow I can remove the initial bandage and clean the area and then just use band aids. I will get the stitches removed in 10 days and that should be the end of it.
Shirl you have been wondering what my latest project was going to be. I just put it out on Tuesday for the Thanksgiving period.
This is the whole thing. Some of it was from last year and it was so popular I put it back out again.
Now it’s off to the Christmas project. I might see if I can cut a little bit more out today. It’s not a strenuous thing, so I should be able to do it. However my saw has been giving me some trouble. Might have to invest in a new one as much as I hate to do it. I really like this one and if I can get the bottom base plate to stay put I’ll be OK. I took it apart yesterday and I think I fixed it, but I won’t know until I use it.
Beth, I think it’s a smart move to hold off buying anything in that park right now. Sometimes it’s better to wait a little bit and think it over more and see what the situation is down the line. You might find something better elsewhere. Barbie, it sounds like you’re moving right along there. Maybe you should just put that box of miscellaneous piddly stuff out and let somebody takeoff with what they want. My thing has always been that if you have stuff stored in a box and you forget what’s in there, you don’t need it. As to the electronics, do you have a Goodwill around there anywhere as they usually take that stuff. Too bad it isn’t an electronics recycling like we have here once a year. Lyn, glad that you had a nice visit with your daughter and she seems to be enjoying New Hampshire. She may find the winters to her liking, who knows. As far as septic tanks etc., Thty only need to be pumped out maybe every five years, so that’s no big deal. And it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to do it either. Water wells can last a long time, so unless something happens to the pump or something she don’t have to worry about that either. I have both here and also a back up generator now. BJ, well pumps don’t freeze anymore these days because most of them are submersible, inside the well casing, way below the ground level . Unless you happen to have an older system that it may be above the ground in a basement or a crawlspace or something and then they are insulated. I don’t know of anybody up here who has ever had an issue with the well pump in the winter. I know people who have had issues with water pipes, because they were gone for the winter or something and didn’t drain the pipes and they broke because the heat went out or some crazy thing.
Well, it’s time for me to get a move on. I have a couple of errands to run in town and then I want to try and get a urine sample for Miss Piper because she’s got a UTI again. Have a great day all.

I bake my bacon so there is usually a jar of bacon grease but I don't cook with it. I'll have to see how to fry cabbage. Harold liked smothered cabbage with sausage. I haven't made that in a long time. I hauled a feed tub up on the carport and filled it with dirt and don't know what to plant in it.
