HAPPY BIRTHDAY

It's 3jays birthday? Happy Happy Day!!!!!!

chrissy, glad you are getting PT treatments even tho they make you sore now, hopefully there will be marked improvement. Is this for your knee? 

ginger, I think I would have some sort of demolition ceremony for my back brace when I was done. Hang in there. 

I am still getting OT for my hands, but it is gentle. not even trying to strengthen yet. I did make a fist in the shower this morning. Yahoo! The warmth helps so much. slowly, slowly slowly it is improving. 

the roof deck roof has been put on in front of the bedroom.

beautiful flower, lisa.

We are getting another snow storm starting tomorrow night. sigh! But it is suppose to warm right back up. So hopefully it won't set the work on the house back too much. It's going to be a nor'easter, so lots of wind, too. But we're pretty used to it. Trying to decide if I need the shutters put up.

My aunt fell on her trip back from FL and tore her leg open. Luckily no bones broken, but 6 stitches. So I am doing errands and making sure she has everything she needs.

chrissy, I get my neck and back worked on, too when I go to OT. I guess because of the Fibro dx. They use some electrodes that stimulate the muscles. It feels funny but good. Then they use a massager that vibrates against my back. I love going there. I hope your mattress topper helps with your back. I use one of those memory foam pillows that are designed to help keep necks in place while sleeping. My muscles are getting stronger because of the yoga classes. 

I use a memory foam topper even though I'm on a brand new mattress!! I was able to actually feel the area of bone growth on my spine. It felt like I was lying on a small ball of socks. At first I folded the topper in two (hint Chrissy) as my body only really needed from my bum to shoulders. Got tired of adjusting the sheets (I put the topper UNDER the sheets) and can now tolerate it lain out flat. I use a pillow at bum level to keep me from sliding down my pillows as one under my knees just seems to float down the bed and I find myself waking up flat out.

mac, with that kind of protection on the upper door, do you still need the more expensive, non-breaking ones? Or is it, again, WHAT the wind is blowing....?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

putting up shutters in this area (coastal) has more to do with insurance coverage than actual protection from damage. If that makes sense? The big windows on the bottom front will be impact glass so we do not have to wrestle with huge shutters. But the others and especially the smaller ones will be regular glass. I think we have to have impact on the sky lights. Today they were putting up the trim on the roof edges. I need to pick out a roof shingle color. 

The shutters I had the carpenters put up today were on the house in front of this one, right on the cliff looking over the water. My father had some rather light weight panels made to be able to attach to the front of the house to protect the windows. It faces the north east where most of the wind comes from, especially in a nor'easter. The wind will be gusting close to hurricane strength. Anyway, better safer than sorry. 

Happy bday, Alyson!!!!!

Kathy, have fun at Grandparent's day. enjoy the little monsters, eh, I mean darlings. (just joking) 

The snow does not last long here this time of year. It will be up near 60 on Saturday. It will be more of an inconvenience than anything else. It should be done snowing by the late afternoon. So I probably will not open the shop and just stay in. Hopefully we won't lose power or at least not for long.  

it is a beautiful little place...one of my favorites..

these ducks like it there also

Beautiful ducks.  I've never seen that type before.  I'm just getting use to my smart phone.  It comes in handy when I want my daughters to respond in a timely fashion.  LOL  They hate talking on the phone.

My cell phone is just a cheap trac phone, but I do have a new toy and even though I am still learning to use it, I love it. It's a Surface2 tablet. Instead of the typical smart phone style as I understand it. When you start a word it tries to guess what you want. It uses context and is uncanny in its choices. It also tries to give you the next word based on context and often can. Or you can just use it as a regular spell check.

It has two cameras so you can take regular pictures, Skype or take selfie's and see what's in the pic before you take it. Now I just have to figure out how to use it and how to post the picks.

My problem with posting from my phone isn't new.  I should go by the Verizon office and check with them.  I haven't noticed a thing different about bc.org since the maintenance.  Other people have complained about problems.

Hope everyone has a great day.
