We've had our four garden pumpkins sitting on the front porch. Hubby brought the smallest pumpkin into the kitchen and started to clean its seeds and inner goop out. He did it the way a person does for a Halloween Jack O...

Fishmomma I freeze produce from my garden also. It means healthy food available during the winter months when the price of produce is high here. Also I think home grown is always better, as I'm eating it.

Fishmomma @porwest I agree business needs to do what is best as so many places here are now closed.

Fishmomma I can understand businesses that want to close, so their workers can spend time with their families or with friends. Several of my single friends have friend gatherings and I had them when attending college.

Fishmomma Thanks for posting. I use to live in Oregon many years ago and graduated from Oregon State. Glad you were both able to retire. I'm hoping to visit Oregon after I retire, as haven't been there in a long time.

Fishmomma @sallypup Many people are surprised that I'm ready to downsize, as I lived in a large older house for many years. I enjoy learning about the people that lived in the house years ago.

Fishmomma That is great that you were able to retire early. I have grown produce in my yard for many years to lower my grocery bill. Its the medical bills and electric bills that kept me from retiring years ago. Thanks for posting.

Fishmomma My biggest factor is my husband, as he has slowed down a lot this year. Many things he use to do are now my job most of the time. I hired somebody to do the yard to reduce down how much I needed to regularly take care of now. It has made a big difference....

Fishmomma We may have to downsize next year to a smaller house. My husband was in bad shape last year and this year he is able to do less than past years. We hired somebody to do yard work making it easier. Thanks for posting.

Fishmomma Yes on the social security, as they send out letters to inform how much I could have now. I'm not sure about other money, as the company has had hard times the last couple years. Several people have lost their job, so was surprised when it wasn't me. I plan...

Fishmomma I don't buy candy corn, as nobody will eat it in this house. My favorite thing are the costumes that the kids wear trick or treating. We had about 100 children stop here.

Fishmomma I'm not happy with the new CSI, as the person I really like is hardly on the show. I was hoping it would be great with some of the original cast.

Fishmomma @bluerubymoon53 I like New Amsterdam and don't miss it. The others I have watched. Several shows I watch by streaming, as I work unusual hours.
