Quick good night from me. I have been lurking while on vacation. Tonight I got to participate in a magic show.

 

[agavegirl1]

Just had to share Love Your Melon's new model for the their Christmas Facebook promotion. My niece. She didn't tell anyone about it. Her mom found the photos on Facebook.

Look at those blue eyes!!

Mushing thru the snow to post here

Youngest DS put up his tree, in record time one of his babies set up residence underneath it, complete with one of his favorite toys...a coke bottle cap lolView attachment 541460

Nice to have the Mr home this week, glad he spied this monster lurking about waiting for my pooch to come outside. Thing is way bigger than him, ugh. Now I’m going to have to follow him around in the yard with a bat. Weird to see hawks be so bold and not spooked by humans.

Waiting to hear tomorrow if my hand surgery on Thursday squeaks thru as planned. They’ve started to cancel non-elective procedures as the hospitals here as well as no visitors either.

Sounds as though we was a very content kitty with a great home, 18 is long-lived

Congrats. Since i’m Still crushing on my air fryer must say it heats up pizza very well too

Running joke here, have a few small containers of coal that morph between my men’s stockings each year. Pretty sure the chosen ones feel special to receive them

Funny how families develop holiday traditions.

Smrt

It’s official, you do have hot buns

Yes, i’ll Beat that dead horse knowing others already charged the hill

That is so sweet . I was thrilled to be invited along when my DiL picked out her dress...and thanked my lucky stars I didn’t have to foot that bill

Thought of you when i saw that news, glad it wasn’t in your neighborhood.

That is a cute picture of the kitty.....nice looking lights too!! The other picture not so nice.....wow that thing is relentless. Those birds are quite scary, especially if you have a little doggy.

Hope the surgery isn`t cancelled....our hospitals here are begging people to carry on as normal, asking them to please turn up for appointments are necessary. I think many were cancelling as they didn`t want to go to hospitals. Tom had an appointment in March and he was the only one in the waiting room....usually it`s crammed with folks. He did enjoy the attention I think from the nurses that day.....lol.....he`s such a chatty person anyway. But, fingers crossed......

Nope. In Gatlinburg, TN until Saturday.

I thought you were home yesterday too......gald you`re having a nice time......

What a stunningly beautiful girl! Congratulations to her, she`ll go far in the world she has chosen, and sounds like she is very grounded too......




Well, good news this morning that the UK have approved the Pfizer vaccine and will be starting to vaccinate as soon as next week!!!

Excellent news we`ve all been looking forward to......

Time for breakfast.......Tom has already left as our car is going in for an oil change. Our showroom is miles away, so it`s a long drive, I didn`t want to go, so will wait in and get some stuff done this morning.

No idea yet for dinner.......maybe chicken something or other.

Happy Hump Day........​

 

[Charade67]

I’m up in the middle of the night with acid reflux, so I thought I would try to catch up a bit.

Monday was spent at the Georgia Aquarium and World of Coca Cola. Tuesday we drove to Gatlinburg and saw a magic show. We will probably do some shopping later today.

Love it!!

Never heard of it, looks like fun. If you are ever up in the Canton, Ohio, area; make sure to stop at: the NFL football hall of fame, Rock & roll one in Cleveland a half hour north & then, might as well head west for another 45 minutes to Cedar Point

I only just found out about it. I’m surprised Dh hasn’t suggested going to the NFL and rock & roll halls of fame. He has family in Ohio.

Granddaughter invited me to go dress shopping with her and my daughter-in-law a week from this coming Saturday. Was so glad to be included in her wedding pre-planning.

That will be fun. Enjoy your shopping trip.

My friend who got the new puppy Poppy few months back is getting Poppy`s brother tomorrow. The family who took him had some unexpected issues and were devastated to hand him back, I`m just glad they did and not abandon him anywhere. So my friend, being my friend.....said they`ll have him......she now has 3 dogs, 2 horses, a plethora of geese and a husband......lol.....he`s the most work I think......

Sounds like my friend Susan minus the geese and husband. She does have a new boyfriend though. They just recently introduced his dog to her dogs and cats.

Youngest DS put up his tree, in record time one of his babies set up residence underneath it, complete with one of his favorite toys...a coke bottle cap lol

Cute kitty.

Congratulations to her. She has beautiful eyes.

Did you pull a rabbit our of a hat?

if you did , teach me!

He asked me a few questions then wrote down my answers. Then opened an envelope that had been on the stage throughout the whole show. Inside was a paper with all of my answers on it.

I’m going to try to get back to sleep. I haven’t proofread, so please forgive any mistakes.

 

[Realfoodfans]

Morning all. Not the frosty morning we hoped for. However dry is a bonus. Kev is decorating again but just finishing off downstairs cloakroom so will be done this morning.

Keisha love your porch - beautiful picture.

Charade hope you feel better soon. Change of diet perhaps with being away?

I have some outstanding issues to deal with of paperwork - waiting on others blaming Covid for lack of service. Hoping to complete Christmas card writing today but I’m going to admit I’m still pottering around in my dressing gown.

Happy Wednesday all.

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, a Good Morning to Schumi and Julie.

Good to get car serviced, as did that a few weeks ago. While not too long a drive, it is a longer drive to our service place too. Hope you enjoyed some lunch on the way back, or picked up some food on the way, Schumi.

Julie, yeah, everything seems slower today. Since many have lower staffs, yeah, I am waiting for some replies too, and see lots of warnings of delays that may be experienced in shipping. Even our City buses and rail have more limited service. Hope you get replies soon.

Charade, hope you are feeling better. No fun to feel icky. Hope your trip is continuing to be fun. Neat you were part of the magic show.

Agavegirl, very pretty pictures, as your niece is a beautiful model. Congratulations to her.

Keisha, cute kitty, and hope you get your surgery. Routine medical appointments seem to be more frequent now.
Ah yes, a Wednesday is here. Why hello camel, hanging around today? Yay, as that means it is a hump of a day, with a big woot, as now Friday is two days away.

And so the week day routine continues. Yes, it is, and hmm, what for breakfast.

A wonderful Wednesday to you all.

 

[Robo56]

Good Wednesday morning Sans family











Woke up this morning and it’s 29 degrees out no white stuff though. Supposed to be high of 43 later so not bad.

Hi Robo, glad you’re here. Hope you are feeling better, and toe not swollen now. Your masks are great, and so cute. Nice you are giving away more, and how fun to go dress shopping. What a sweet day planned with your granddaughter and DIL. A wedding is a happy time for family. Woot for coffee in that mug. Good day for coffee. Well, tea too.

Yes, looking forward to the wedding. Hope the Covid situation is under control by then. The toe is still pretty swollen. If I stayed off of it would help, but life goes on. I have never been one to sit still unless forced to do so. Coffee mug full again this morning. Now thinking about one of those cinnamon buns. Enjoy your tea this morning.

Good afternoon all. Hopefully caught up on the posts. Robo how lovely to go dress shopping

Good morning. I’am looking forward to the dress shopping.

Enjoy the shopping trip, finding the perfect wedding dress is so important......you`ll have so much fun helping.......

She has always had a good since of style and what works for her. I on the other hand not so much. So I know she will find a dress that suites her. I was just happy to be included. I always enjoy just being with the girls. Her bridal shower theme is going to be Tiffany inspired. That I can help a little with. I have been looking for ideas online.

Nice to have the Mr home this week, glad he spied this monster lurking about waiting for my pooch to come outside. Thing is way bigger than him, ugh. Now I’m going to have to follow him around in the yard with a bat. Weird to see hawks be so bold and not spooked by humans.

Wow.....that’s a big bird of prey.......have to admit the thought of you running around the yard with a bat is sorta funny.....the bat would be a good defensive instrument though.

Waiting to hear tomorrow if my hand surgery on Thursday squeaks thru as planned. They’ve started to cancel non-elective procedures as the hospitals here as well as no visitors either.

Hope your hand surgery goes off without a hitch.

That is so sweet . I was thrilled to be invited along when my DiL picked out her dress...and thanked my lucky stars I didn’t have to foot that bill

Yes, some of those dresses can be pretty pricey.

Just had to share Love Your Melon's new model for the their Christmas Facebook promotion. My niece. She didn't tell anyone about it. Her mom found the photos on Facebook.

Wow...she is so pretty. Her blue eyes are stunning. I’am sure you are so proud of her.

I have some outstanding issues to deal with of paperwork - waiting on others blaming Covid for lack of service. Hoping to complete Christmas card writing today but I’m going to admit I’m still pottering around in my dressing gown.

Sounds like you are pretty organized for Christmas already. I have pretty much all presents wrapped and ready. Have my cards out, but haven’t started on them yet.

Safe travels Charade.

Had a fairly productive day yesterday. Went to post office and sent off some packages. When they weighed the two medium boxes they came back with some crazy high prices to ship them so I took them to the Fedex in Walmart and the price was $10.00 cheaper per box to ship.

While I was at Walmart shopping a person from electronics came over the store speaker saying they had the Xbox series X in stock. These are pretty hard to come by. So I went back there and he said they just received 4 off the truck. So I bought one. Grandson will be surprised with this gift.

Went by the Mall and no one was there. Made it easy to get in and out quickly. Needed to pick up a pre-ordered package. As I was walking past Build A Bear I saw a baby Yoda and knew my great-nephew would love it. So I had them build him one. On its birth certificate I named it Juoda (his name is Jude).

Stopped by our local family owned Chocolate shop and picked up some goodies for Dad. My sister and I will stop by the local bakery to pick him up some cookies he likes before we leave to go see him tomorrow morning.

I’am going to watch Great-nephew this morning while my niece has an appointment. He is so sweet.

Then back home to prep some meals for hubby while I’am away. Need to pack and finish up some masks I’am taking for some special requests by family.

Have a wonderful Wednesday Sans family.

 

[Lynne G]

Robo, you have been busy. Sweet both ways, unexpected find and candy stop. Put that foot up when coffee drinking. Yep, while not in a themed mug, still enjoying my tea.

And we are cool today too, with weather lady saying will see snow showers. What? Nooooo. Actually, the wind chill is in low 30’s, even if temp says low 40’s. But it is sunny out right now. Glad to be inside warm.

So have to do errands when done today. Hate that it gets dark by 4:30, as then I come home from errands in the dark.

Hope Elsa is keeping warm. Enjoyed seeing your decorations. They are perfect, and so pretty.

Hi Lynne and fam! Quick stop in to say hi - 19 degrees and our lake is starting to freeze over. Tis the season for brr! Have a good day all!

I didn’t go with him, I thought I could get on with a few things while he’s gone today. Not a service, just an oil change, but still like to get the official Porsche showroom to do everything it needs, and there isn‘t a showroom near us.

So you do have a long drive to where your car goes? I’m not sure I read that right.......are you off on vacation this week?

Good Wednesday morning Sans family

Nice idea for a bridal shower. You can do so many things with Tiffany. I loved choosing my dress......although in the end it was the very first one I saw and tried on......but mum and my best friends wanted me to be sure....so I got dragged round many more stores......but I knew.

Have a lovely trip to see your dad and hope the weather isn’t too bad......and enjoy watching that baby!

Oh that is cold......hope you stay nice and cosy with your coffee!



DH isn’t back yet.......not expecting him for a couple of hours yet. So I managed to get most of his gifts wrapped and hidden away again, wrote out some Christmas cards that we do still send and caught up on some chats with friends.......made myself a shrimp sandwich for lunch, nice unhealthy white bread and it was delicious.

Meant to call the hairdresser now they’re back open and get my Christmas cut booked in. I think they’ll be busy.

Beautiful sunny day here, but quite chilly. Window cleaner has been and windows are gleaming.......see how long they stay that way.

Chicken stir fry for me with spicy plum sauce tonight and they’re all having fish and chips......I didn’t feel like getting anything from the chippy.

Hope everyone’s having a lovely Wednesday........

 

[keishashadow]

Pretty imaginative elf on shelf at GD house this am

Hope lines shorter at tire dealer so I can finally start driving again I’m the resident snowflake but not about to have another slip & slide. Annoying as there was enough tread to pass inspection 3 Months ago and I’ve Only put on less than 500 miles.

not holding my breath but finally supposed to play thanksgiving Steelers/raven game at 3:40 pm today

Look at those blue eyes!!
such a beauty!

mesmerizing

Well, good news this morning that the UK have approved the Pfizer vaccine and will be starting to vaccinate as soon as next week!!!

Hip hip hippa

I’m going to try to get back to sleep. I haven’t proofread, so please forgive any mistakes.

Aw here’s to a better night’s sleep

Keisha love your porch - beautiful picture.

My neighbors actually lol was lopping thru the yards to get the shot. Mr mused what would I have done if beast came at me Um probably Cry

yes, a Wednesday is here. Why hello camel, hanging around today? Yay, as that means it is a hump of a day, with a big woot, as now Friday is two days away.

Can always count on u for the best camel pics!

Wow.....that’s a big bird of prey.......have to admit the thought of you running around the yard with a bat is sorta funny.....the bat would be a good defensive instrument though.

We have softball bats galore. Somebody mentioned a pellet gun to try & scare it off. I’ve never held a firearm. Would probably be end up like Ralphie

. I loved choosing my dress......although in the end it was the very first one I saw and tried on......but mum and my best friends wanted me to be sure....so I got dragged round many more stores......but I knew.

That is a rarity. I went solo too first

Chicken stir fry for me with spicy plum sauce tonight and they’re all having fish and chips......I didn’t feel like getting anything from the chippy.

Sounds good. I may try to resurrect the left over chicken breasts I made yesterday. (Sesame chicken, a new recipe sorely lacking) into both sweet & sour and fried rice

 

[Lynne G]

Nope, Schumi, only homie I think is on vacation is Charade. I wish. Did have that long weekend though. Yay for that. And about a 40 or so minute drive to car place.

Yeah, Keisha, new tires on my car this summer, year before on old car, and now DH wants new for his truck by February. Sigh. None are what I would call cheap. And us too, not driven as much in these last 7 months.

Well, the sun still shines, so will be doing that lunchtime walk.

Brr, that is cold Elsa. Keep that coffee flowing.

 

[macraven]

Has anyone started to receive Christmas cards yet?

I over bought boxed cards years ago and still have boxes of them.

When I say I overbought, I could go another 5 years with the cards I have at home.

Doesn’t feel like winter coming soon as my grass is still green.
More nights of cold will change that.

Who all plan on getting the two series vaccines for covid protection?

I love sesame chicken, haven`t made it in yonks though! I ended up mixing szechuan and teriyaki with a huge amount of freshly sliced ginger....Tom was grimacing as I cooked it......he hates fresh ginger....I love it! It was so good.....

Hoping you get your appointment for tomorrow and not a cancellation.

Oh yes, I was unusual with my wedding dress being the first one I saw.....but it was perfect for me, I knew instantly I loved it and it was meant to be mine.

I did think you were around more this week.....maybe that`s why I thought you were on vacation.....but it was a long weekend, and you mentioned taking days off I think.....

Hope you enjoyed your walk today even if it is cold.

We`ve had four cards so far. The cards I do buy are from the hospice local to my mum, my uncle died there and it`s a fabulous cause. And the cards are beautiful. We stopped buying for friends with the special cards a few years ago and give the money we would have spent on special cards into a charity of our choice. The amount really adds up.

Yep, I`ll be in line for the vaccine.....wonder if there`s an EP line.....

Our grass never changes from green even in winter as it`s so damp here and we get a lot of rain. But, it has to get much cooler here this week......mum has a yellow warning of snow and ice where she is. Just spoke to her and it`s icy sleet at the moment.




Heating is warm, house is cosy and a night of tv ahead. Unbelievably exciting.....and need to get my hair appointment made tomorrow for christmas, I imagine they`ll fill up quickly.

Hi everyone I am going to do a quick drive by update then hope to catch up....Brian got the committment letter on Friday for the job so we called our realator and had everything put into motion to put our house on the market. We signed the paper work Sunday and he said it would be listed in 24 to 48 hours, so we figured we had a day or 2 to get prepared, well... it came on right away and by Sunday dinner time I had multiple showing times for Monday. We were frantic trying to finish up everything within 12 hours. We had no sleep on Sunday night then Monday we had to have a bad storm, so we spent most of the day in our cars for the showings. Yesterday we got an offer and we accepted so we had to sign everything but there were still showings yesterday so we had to go through with them. In the meantime I am looking at houses to buy so I litterally was on a call with one realator Brian was on the other phone in the same room with the other. SO.. we found a house and put a bid now we are waiting to see if they are accepting our offer. It is the perfect house for what we need and want.

The teens Covid test came back negative. Thank you for the good luck vibes!!!

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome back I can't wait till things settle down and I have time to come on more.

I hope everyone is doing well and have a great day!!

 

[keishashadow]

I made the cut! Pun intended on schedule in the am

None are what I would call cheap

This car, Altima, has the cheapest tires. Nice for a change

Who all plan on getting the two series vaccines for covid protection?

Me & mine. Would get it for the pooch if I could

Speed of light! Didn’t even have to bury Saint Joseph on his head in the back yardto make it so

The teens Covid test came back negative. Thank you for the good luck vibes!!!

Yea!

 

[Lynne G]

Such a relief, I bet, Bobbie, both on teens not having the virus, and selling and buying houses. Wishing you and family the best in the move, and new place to live. At least you will never need a snow shovel again. LoL
