We were up early. I took Danny out but once again, he heard gun shots and headed back in. I was on the computer for awhile and then got ready and went to the exercise class. I went to the library from there to return my DVD’s. My phone wasn’t working right so I got out the instruction book. I found the blue tooth was on. It must have been squished in my pocketbook and gotten turned on. I studied the book a little more and voice trained the phone to call Ted’s parents. It had been trained to Ted’s voice on the old phone. Somehow, I got it to work. I hope I can get some more voice entries on it.
Keep Ted’s sister in your prayers. She was operated on and had a mass removed from her bladder. She should get the results of the biopsy on Monday.
I took a look under the front of my trailer. There is not enough room for me to crawl under there from the front. There is only about six inches clearance. I did see the insulation was torn and hanging down under the hot tub. The insulation seems to be torn where the plumbing went in. It must not have been put back together correctly. I looked up on the internet on how to fix it. I don’t know whether I can do it or not.
A lot of branches came down during the wind last night. I heard that wind howling all night. It woke me up a couple times. It didn’t seem to affect the trailer. The windows didn’t even rattle. The windows in Vineland will rattle during a strong wind. I’m glad the branches didn’t hit the trailer. It would have scared me to death. It was really cold with the wind chill so I gathered up my things and came in for a hot cup of tea.
I went to the fellowship dinner at the church. They had chili with bread and butter, and taco chips, green beans, and for dessert, cranberry sorbet and chocolate chip cookies. The pastor is sick so there was no Bible Study class. I came home, got a hot cup of tea and watched a movie my brother had lent me. The new version of The Day the Earth Stood Still. The 1951 version is with it. I will watch it next time.
I took Danny out to do his business before getting ready for bed. He is sleeping in my lap right now. I will do some reading and be off to sleep.

Hi Karol,
I sure admire your perseverance Karol, If I could do just half of what you accomplish each day, I'd be happy. What I'm saying is that you do a wonderful job of taking care of problems yourself before calling for help. And, some of the jobs you tackle are very difficult. You're quite an amazing lady to be sure.
My husband is home after having a full hip replacement and the healing for that is going fine. However, he has had to deal with several side issues as a result of the surgical process. He continues to have a good attitude and I believe this will get him through all of this. When he has the second hip replaced, we'll be more prepared to deal with the side issues.
We're definitely experiencing winter in Michigan now. Lots of snow and high winds. Very chilly.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend as we all prepare for the Christmas holiday. Ruth

Red squirrels love to live in buildings. I did notice them around the area when we visited last summer.
Moth balls work well in deterring most critters. You might want to put a couple of boxes of them under your home.
I can try the moth balls. Cats have known to do that to the mobile homes in the park. They have been seen butting the skirting in to get under. These cats are homeless cats; not pets.
There may be red squirrels but I haven't seen any yet. They may be small enough to get in somewhere. I have seen gray ones.
