Hi Mary,   Good to hear you've got most of the furniture in the family room.. I'm sure you'll figure out where it will all go...
Oh dear,  Not the best falling down steps, no matter how careful you are..  I've done it loads of times..  I hope you haven't damaged your knee too much.   The shock would have been worse than the fall..  I hope you feel better soon,  and sleep well..  sending love and hugs my friend xxx

Hi Mary,   I hope all is ok hun,  Good grief,  your friend has been very lucky,   It just goes to show what can go wrong after an infection.  its scary.  Just think you can rest before long, you've never stopped..  I'm so relieved to have my voice back..  It wears you out repeating yourself.. haha.    sleep well Mary,  sending love and hugs xx

Hi Mary,  Well,  I slept in too,  so everything has been put back today.. haha.  I've nodded off a couple of times..  I hope your friend is ok,. and you get him sorted out with the doctors.  I know you'll be so busy.   The snow and ice didn't arrive here but the frost did.. tut
I hate it all..   My voice is back Mary..  so relieved haha..  sleep well,  sending love and hugs xxx

Hi Mary,   Oh that's nice,  having the piano in place.  I'm sure you'll be done by Tuesday.
It sure wears you out when repeating yourself.
How lovely you went to visit Lili for her birthday..   It's very sad what she's been through for sure,  If she's on medication Mary, that would make her gain weight.
Its 3c here and we are due for snow, ice and frost from midnight..  I am not looking out of the window.. hah.  Have a good new week..  sending love and hugs xxx

Hi Mary,  Oh the renovations are coming along,  they were pouring some kind of stuff on to their floors, to make them perfectly straight. lol so I had their company all day, until it all dried. Like you said it will all be worth it..  Did you get the piano in place??
I'm sure you'll find a nice home for your pictures..   I'm not feeling so bad,  but I wish my voice was back.. hehe..   hard work when you have to repeat yourself ...  Have a wonderful weekend Mary,  sending you love and hugs xxx

Hi Mary,  My voice is not back yet, lol..  it keeps fading,  trying not to talk too much.. LOL..
I think a quiet night is good from time to time.
You'll have so much spare time on your hands when all is done.. hehe..  renovations are moving along nicely for Gemma and Stu..  the kitchen is being delivered in two weeks.. heck.
Have a lovely weekend Mary,  sending love and hugs xxx

Hi Mary,   I'm getting there rather slowly,  Still have no voice,  But I don't feel as bad as yesterday when I had no energy.   It's  a bug or virus..  it all happens at the time of year.  may as well get it over and done with..  lol
How gorgeous will your kitchen look now it's been painted..  Wow,  now for you Piano to be put in place..  I didn't know you played.. 
It's all coming together for you Mary..  fantastic achievement..    Wishing you goodnight,  love and hugs too xxx

Hi Mary,   Sorry for my late reply,  I'm not feeling too good, and have lost my voice completely.  I just want to sleep.. This just came on when I was shopping with Sam.
I think you were meant to win that quilt Mary.  just so you could put it in the new bedroom.
I'm sure you are very happy now you are near the end of all the renovations..   Sleep well, sending love and hugs xxx

Hi Mary,  Oh how wonderful that you had a great time last night, and for a very worthy cause. I hope they raised lots of money for the Homeless veterans.  Well done on winning a beautiful quilt,  I guess that will be going into your new bedroom.. haha. I hope you enjoyed your nap too..  It's been very cold here, and we had rain yesterday.. Hopefully it will improve from tomorrow..   sleep well Mary, sending love and hugs my friend xxx

Hi Mary,  How nice you went to the Military appreciation dance,   glad you had two night out in a row.  I'm sure you will have a houseful once every thing is all finished. Lol
That will be something to look forward to.
Tea was gorgeous,  it's a nice Italian restaurant on our mainstreet about a 10 minute walk.from our house. Enjoy the rest of your weekend..
Sending love and hugs 🫂 🤗
