Come on down, Glenda! (hugs).

You're really on the ball again Jude! I feel so slow on the uptake... LOL

Missed you at lunch today Glenda! Hope the move is going well.

Glad to meet you in person Stephanie!

So far the only days that I am travelling are 18/19. We all know how fast that can change though......

Take care all, Julie

Any Saturday in November is good for me so far....

OK ... I've got a show - well, actually two shows, the same weekend that Julie says she can't make it - 17, 18, & 19. So far, the rest of the month looks good!

The move is going - what else can I say? Our daughter and her hubby from Nanaimo have come down for the weekend and we're boxing, moving and unpacking and stocking "stuff" like crazy! The kitchen is almost all moved - it's like camping out for now, most of the business inventory is moved and arranged, although we haven't transferred the 'puter and internet yet. We hope to have the movers in for the heavy furniture on Thursday or Friday, and have the whole thing over and done with well before the end of the month. In the meantime, we're suffering golf withdrawal here!!!!

So .... did everyone show up today? Jude, Julie, Anny, Janet, Stephanie, Linda and ... ???? I feel so left out even just missing one lunch!!! Ooohhh ... I love that we're an expanding group!

hugs all, Glenda

hey, everybody, sorry I missed yesterday!


Well, as long as the GROUP's the only thing expanding!

I'm usually back in Vancouver every other weekend but hope I can make it to next lunch.

Has anyone read "Omnivore's Dilemma" yet? I'm just reading it and don't know if I can ever have another fast-food burger patty again....

Hi
Sure enjoyed lunch yesterday! The only Saturday I can make it in November (due to shift work) is the 24th. If we do something during the week, I have a bit more flexibility but as usual, I'll let you guys decide the date & see if it fits in with my shifts or not.
Woke up with a stuffy nose & cough so am taking it easy today.
Janet

Get well soon, Janet...being sick is the worst!!! (but at least you usually lose weight when you are sick...that's something I guess!)

Well, that's SOMETHING I managed to do right this week...

Janet, hope you're treating yourself to some nice hot chicken broth with fresh ginger and green onion, maybe an egg. Yum-O AND soothing.

Stephanie, welcome to our weird world

Annie, how did the whole job thing go last month

Glenda, dearest, I tripped over to Shelley Street after lunch with some chocolate ginger for you to try, in hopes of getting my hug but ended up wandering around in the middle, trying to find a person or a door that looked to be the right one! Whole place looked almost post-apocolyptical! Sorry I missed you, but sure am looking forward to catching up, soon-ish...

Ooohh Jude! I'm sorry you missed us too (consider yourself hugged)!! We took Vicki & Andy (dd & sil) out for lunch to thank them for slave-driving us all weekend and getting a LOT accomplished. Our new unit is second from the far end (away from the road), still the upper side, but in the middle driveway - so far number 7A but will be 3260.

We've been back and forth all day, every day - fill boxes, haul 'em up, empty them onto shelves or into cupboards, haul 'em back empty, refill, repeat ad nauseum! We're seeing daylight finally!

It does look apocolyptic doesn't it! I don't anticipate it looking much better until they finish rebuilding all the rows although it will help when the next row is occupied too. Then they'd better be planning on some really, really nice landscaping to reflect the amount of rent increase!! I have to admit, new appliances go a long way to consoling over price. I reserve judgment on the range until I actually try it (and test the oven temp) and on the dishwasher until I see if it cleans dishes without pre-washing, but the fridge looks great - I already love it (assuming it will keep ice cream (Island Farms sugar-free of course) frozen without making it rock hard)!!

Janet, I'm a firm believer in oil of oregano (vile stuff, but it works for me) but you have to start it at the first sign of a sore throat. In the meantime, definitely what Jude said!!!! At least we know that eating the way we do, our bodies have the best fuel for fighting off infections and viruses. Feel better fast - that's an order!!!

hugs all, Glenda

Hi all....

Since no one offered a firm date so far I will suggest November 24. Seems like most of us can make it then....

I'm not going out of town after all! YAY!

Anyone NOT able to make the 24th?

Julie

I'm afraid the 24th is now out for me. Janet

24th is OK by me!!

So far so good...

I think...

Since Janet can't do the 24th, how about a Sunday? 25th?

Julie

I can't do Sundays...I have dogs to walk!
