Happy Birthday…

to Paul,  one of my first blogging friends from Windows Live Spaces!  I always remember December 2nd as Paul’s birthday because it is also my wedding anniversary!  If you have a minute stop by and wish Paul a happy birthday while he is still young enough to read.  Winking smile

It is a warm drizzly day in central Illinois.  The temp is 53 and to get up around 70 today.  Very unusual weather for us but I will take it.

My daughter and son in law are stopping by after lunch for homemade potato soup.  I have been hungry for some of that.

I am gearing up for a visit to my kidney/bp doctor on Wednesday.  I have a whole list of things to tell him.   I am still wearing the heart monitor, less than 2 weeks left on that.

I have been invited to a cookie exchange on the 13th.  Thank you to Liz.

I hope you all are have a wonderful day!

Beth

  11. Wishing you good results from all the medical visits and tests. I guess we should enjoy global warming before it gets lethal, but it is hard to think Christmas when it is so warm and raining all the time. Wishing you good health and happiness. BGB

  12. Hi Beth, Sad that your husband passed away one day before your anniversary.
    I love potato soup - mama always put dumplings in hers. I often wish I had a big pot of hers!
    I am praying for your upcoming appts. Please keep us updated as you feel up to it.
    We are having a sunny, warm day - currently 75* - but a neighbor is burning leaves, so I had to close the windows. My cats are mad about that. They were enjoying the warm sunshine.
    Have a good evening. Mildred

  24. Potato soup is one of my favorites! I made some when my daughter was in town the week of Thanksgiving! We're having above normal temps, too! We've been up in the 70's for the last three days! Last Dec. 8th we had snow! Don't think that will happen this year!! Hope your doctor's appointment goes well!

  28. Good morning, Beth,
    We are having good weather, too. Had a garage sale this weekend and the temps were in the high 70's...just perfect.
    I do believe we, too, will have a pot of potato soup for dinner tonight. Sounds so good.
    Have a great day and I am going over to wish your friend a happy day, even a little late. :)
