I get all of my proteins from a CSA that makes home deliveries all winter. (No fish or seafood). I have a bread guy who has periodic sales in the winter. We have an upright freezer, so I stock up once a month. I do about half of my shopping at a Trader Joe's. we have a good local market for organic produce and specialty items. Regarding Aldi, we have one near us, but I haven't been in years. I might try it over the holidays.

Hubba hubba! GO CUBS GO!!!! I lived on Waveland Avenue a block from Wrigley back In The '70s.

Well, I could not get in to see the relics. It was mobbed! They even had cops and port-a-potties set up outside. I didn't tell her I was going to try, so she won't be disappointed. I did buy Mr. Hag a new recliner today. The springs fell out of his old one, so this is his Christmas gift. He loves it! He sat in every one in the store!

Mama Hag is whipped into a frenzy! Padre Pio relics are on display tomorrow at a parish near me. She doesn't leave the house, so I am hoping that I can get over there to get a holy card for her. They are letting people touch the cards to the relics. Did I mention that Padre Pio is her favorite saint? She has a framed photograph of him in her living room!

Well, the good news is that my pneumonia is not back. The bad news is that I have a terrible bronchial infection. Got an inhaler and some big drugs. Hope to be feeling better by next week.

((((Imisspuddy)))) you are a great daughter. Mom knew it, and so do we. Cricket, ouch!

Who is this? What a fool!

(((Imisspuddy))) praying for you and yours

My friend is in a part of a Houston that was not badly affected.

Well, Mama Hag saw her cardiologist yesterday. Her pacemaker is good for 8 more years, at which time she will be 94. Of course, she had to add "hopefully, I'll be dead by then." She's out of her mind. Mr. Hag said she will outlive all of us.

I sent him with a list and instructions to ONLY get things on the list. I knew how much it should be, so I monitored my debit card activity. Good boy; he stuck to the list!

It's a lovely shade of purple and I can't put any weight on it. The result? He is out doing my errands as I type this. Good thing I finished all the laundry (mine and household) on Monday whilst he was at the Cubs game.

We do our own, but I mostly do the household laundry. Occasionally, he will do it if I ask, but I always have to take the initiative. I truly think this is an xy issue. As my daughter says "Why? XY!"

I sprained my foot this evening. While I am naturally klutzy, Mr. Hag is at fault for leaving a case of beer in the back hallway. I came in from outside and tripped right over it. As you can imagine, I gave him hell because I've been bugging him for 3 days to put it away. He's still stalling. "I'll get to it." It's always "will", "could", or "might"; never "doing" or "did". I had to reschedule a business meeting. He needs to understand that I am the major breadwinner. If Mama can't work, no one gets anything. Plus, it hurts like hell. End of rant. Thanks for listening.

Congratulations, Booney! Hoping for good news, Cricket.
