Day 253 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

         Today I am so thankful that I had lunch with my three long time best friends Jackie, Carol and Nancy! We celebrated Jackie's birthday!! We had the best time ever.  Nancy said it is like "getting a fix" because we laugh so much! We cover a plethora of topics.  We mostly laughed about old shows we use to watch......Petticoat Junction, Mr. Ed, Beverly Hillbillies, and WKRP! We remember all of the characters!!

 I didn't watch WKRP but Jackie told us about a funny show  Apparently, the radio station was giving out hundreds or turkeys for Thanksgiving. They planned a "turkey drop."  They rented a plane and threw out the turkeys thinking that turkeys could fly but they fell like bowling balls on the ground! SPLAT!!  I will have to watch that show episode  on youtube! Jackie said she often sings part of the Petticoat Junction song when she has difficulty moving around..."There's Uncle Joe, he's a moving kind of slow,  at the Junction,!" LOL. these days that could be my theme song!  We also talked about Hogans' Heroes and Sargent Shultz..."I see nothing, I hear nothing!"  Those old shows were so funny without sex, nudity, or foul language!
       Frankie stayed overnight Sat. night because his car is in the shop and I didn't want Olivia driving him home after they went to the 10:30 showing of the Nun movie.  Sunday morning I gave them money to buy food for breakfast.  They got bacon, potatoes, eggs, ham, and peppers.  They cooked a bodacious breakfast together.  It is amazing that they like to eat sch fattening food and they are both thin.  They must both have fast metabolisms!

                 MORE BAT NEWS!!   Yesterday another exterminator came.  The day before the exterminator from Terminix told me that he saw some guano, bat feces, in my attic and they could " fix " my problem for a year contract of $1400.  Today another exterminator came, he was in the attic a long time.  He said he didn't see any guano in my attic.  He didn't think the bats were hidden in the eaves like the Terminix guy thought because of the lack of guano! The second guy told me to find a handyman to close up an opening near my top roof siding and see if that works.  If not, he said they can come back and seal up the house for $795.  I think the Terminix guy just wanted me to sign a contract. The Terminix guy told me that I have mouse activity in my attic so Dan and I will buy traps tomorrow. The second guy told me that sometimes bats just fly around and fin...

Day 6 of Being Thankful

   Today I am thankful for my daughter Olya.  We adopted Olya from Ukraine in 2009.. Olya with her bio relatives Olya with a friend at her home in Ukraine  She was ten and a half years old when we adopted her.  My friend Maggie had found her for me in Ukraine,  She knew I wanted to adopt another girl in the 10-11 year old age range. Olivia was driving me crazy, she always wanted to be doing something. She really wanted a sibling!  I told Dan that we needed to adopt another girl close to Olivia's age so she would have a sibling to grow up with. Dan was fine with it, I think he was excited to go back to Ukraine!   Maggie works for Frontier Horizons, a hosting organization that brings orphans to the U.S. and other countries for a cultural experience. Maggie visits orphanages and selects children for hosting. They try to select children who are available for adoption but that isn't always the case.   It really is a pre-adoption...

     Today I am thankful for the wonderful day we spent yesterday.  We went to a restaurant to celebrate Renee and Adam's birthday with about 25 people!   Adam's parents and his brother Dan and his girlfriend came.  Renee and Adam and his brothers and wives/girlfriends and parents are all going on a trip to Lebanon in August.  Renee is excited because she has never been there! Walid's family, Adam's father, owns a huge hospital in Lebanon. It was nice to see all of them. Renee married into a lovely family!  After lunch we all went back to Renee and Adam's house for a large party.  I am guessing about 50 people were at the party!  There was so much food.  There were trays and trays of wraps, sandwiches, fruit, and vegetables.  A huge tray of sushi was demolished in an hour!  I am not a sushi lover or liker so I didn't help eat any of that tray! There were so many desserts that it was difficult what to choose to...
