Well, I don’t celebrate Christmas but this year I did get 2 nice Hanukkah gifts. I found a real sweet Singer 99 on eBay and she is all set up and sewing great. My other gift is a light pad that will be a great help with my appliqué. At this time of the year my sweet hubby is easy to buy for ……. all he asks for is new books in his light novel series and latkes!

Even our 15 year old grandson, who has worn hearing aids since he was 3, has been after him. Third week in November he decided it was time. He has them now, and though not perfect, things are a lot better. He's going through quite an adjustment period, but things are looking up! Now to decide....what do I want??
DH's hearing has gotten worse over the last few years, but he says it is bc I mumble, or talk not facing him, etc. - even though it isn't just me he has trouble understanding. We've actually had arguments bc he thinks I've said something I didn't say. I don't know why, but he says my telling him he needs hearing aids insulting. To me, it's not any different than needing glasses - which we both wear.

This is not related to the original post, but I have worn hearing aids for over 20 years and they have been the best thing yet. No more asking people to repeat themselves constantly. No more missing out on conversations and lectures. I love my hearing aids!

Both of our daughters, and their children, live in another state. One of them is estranged completely from me and mostly from my husband as well. After over 2 years, the pain is still beyond description. I no longer celebrate Christmas.
Gifts for our grandchildren (4 boys!) were bought before we went to FL. DH will take care of getting them to the kids. I will spend the day sewing, a good distraction.

Linda, isn't your husband so sweet, trying that hard to please you?
I was just in a gathering of quilters today and the talk turned to air fryers. I knew nothing about them, but the general consensus of the ladies who had one was that they loved them. So yes, you really wanted one! JK, but I think you'll like it when you learn what to use it for.
