Good Saturday morning Sans family
Love the night light Robbie......and your trip is actually just around the corner.....nice....hope you have a safe journ
Thank you I love pumpkins especially Halloween
.
Sounds a lovely day with your family members and some relaxation too for you, always nice to enjoy. I never get pedicures, but do love some salon time.
We had such a nice visit. I wanted to get my aunt out and she loves the restaurant we went to. It was so nice to see her smile. Losing my uncle was so very hard for her.
I do enjoy salon time too. Everyone should pamper themselves. I had the works......LOL......Hair, manicure and pedicure. Happy hair, happy hands, Happy feet. I had a Nursing Professor who said every Nurse should pamper her feet. I took her advice.
It`s shocking how many people are alone and don`t have any family members to talk to at all Robbie. And they do enjoy the chats, I listen for the most part and they all have such wonderful and sometimes sad tales to tell, but I`m glad to be doing something.
Have a fabulous trip......
You are a special lady. It is so nice you are there to listen for them.
I remember reading once that we earn the jewels in our heavenly crowns by the acts of kindness and service we do on earth.
I remember you said the sister (vegetarian) of your friend that you are not fond of thinks your a princess. Next time you hear of it tell her no “I’am a Queen and I have earned all the diamonds in my crown”.
People either have it within themselves to be kind to others or they don’t. There are a lot of kind souls on the Sans here.
Had a weird dream the Queen was a family member and not sure if she was my mother in the dream as Tom was having a laugh with her about me for some reason.......weird.
I had a dream someone broke in my house and I was frozen and could not move. I did wake up.....LOL.
Melon and grapes chopped with some pineapple and mango I think this morning and popped another batch of muffins in the oven last night, so they`ll be lovely for breakfast. Going to make some savoury muffins I think for tomorrow, I`m assured they are so good. hmm.
Sounds delicious. I like melons, mangoes and grapes. I really like pineapple, but it blisters my tongue so no pineapple for me. Muffins sound delicious too.
Robo, good to hear from you, and yay, for getting some pampering before you leave. Is is it next Thursday, not tomorrow, right? Safe travels. Lunch with all sounded quite lovely, and glad you could meet up with them for a meal before you leave. And yep, I have to stock up the kitchen for the family before I leave. And I hope you have a happy and healthy new year too. And great night light.
I left at 12:30 am Thursday morning. I’am at my house in Florida. Will go up to Universal tomorrow.
Another night of not sleeping well. Maybe I will get back to sleep later this morning. The only Covid symptom still remaining is the loss of taster and smell. Last night dh offered to bring me food from our favorite Mexican restaurant. I told him there was no point since I couldn't taste it.
So glad you are feeling better. I hope you get your taste and smell back soon.
nice. mcdonalds had a run of happy meal toys back in early 2000’s. I still have my light up madame leota one I pull out for Halloween lol. Burger King had a bunch of Simpson’s Halloween stuff too, have most of them. i’m sure my boys will inform their cardiologists that’s due to the number of kids’ meals they ate.
LOL........I remember the Happy Meal toys. I have some of the Disney glasses from Mickey D’s.
Thank you for the condolences Robo!
Neat Madame Leota ornament!
You're almost ready to launch for your trip!! I'm sure it'll be great!! Can't wait to see some of your awesome pictures!
Thank you. I’am thinking of doing a trip report. I will take lots of photos and share for sure.
Big news on the radio this morning! A new Chick-fil-A just opened about 12 minutes from me! I've only had Chick-fil-A in an airport while passing through. May wait for the hype of the newness to wear off, and then give it a try.
Does anyone have a preference on chicken places? Kentucky Fried Chicken, Church's Chicken, Zaxby's, Popeyes.......I'm sure I'm missing a few...
I like the Popeyes chicken sandwich.
Its around 86 here at just after 3.30 but in the garden we have 92 according to the temp thingy……
You are having Florida weather.
Robbie I will wave as you zoom
by on 75 !
I waved when I went by Mac
my Mum (who was in her 90’s when we lost her) was always busy on different projects. Beautiful sewing and embroidery. I have lots of lovely things. Watching a programme last weekend they read the poem “Footprints” and I remembered that in storage was an embroidered version Mum did so off I went to retrieve it! Now we know we are staying here I am putting it up in our bedroom.
What a wonderful keepsake.
Robo we have zero trick or treaters here! I remember seeing that mug in wdw! We were looking at them. There were 1 or 2 that came out that year.
Safe travels!
We still have a few Trick or Treaters
Got to talk with an old friend today. We have a setup where we FaceTime once a month. She's local but pretty far from me. Plus, she has some health issues, doesn't drive anymore, and doesn't like visiting people with covid so rampant. It's nice to complain about stuff and share things with someone who is like-minded and never judges. She's actually probably 10+ years older than me.
It’s nice to have treasured friends you can share things with.
lol.....when I was doing my Engineering Degree, one of the professors was permanently pickled.......he was like Uncle Fester in the original movie....dressed a little like him too.....but he was cool.
LOL........makes me think of a professor I had in college. She was always a little tipsy and she reeked of cigarettes and had dog and cat hair all over her polyester pants she would always wear.
And because of the announcement of the Potter night show returning the day before I
Great news. Also the Dark Arts show.
Excited about Dark Arts show back!!
And YAY it's that time of year for Robo's trees!!!
Hey! Monykalyn always like reading about your chickens. I think you have Diva Hens....LOL
Yep......trees are up. Get out the Halloween decorations. My niece said my decorations are scary and her moms are more happy decorations for Halloween.
You reminded me mentioning recycling carts......we live in a quiet village with not muh going on......two families were rowing in the street last week (I never saw it) apparently one family have started leaving their recycling/trash bins at the front of the house permanently instead of at the back.......not really the done thing here, so it became a war of words. I need to find out if they kept doing it or did the same as everyone else and kept them at the back.
We are required to keep our bins in the garage or behind the property. They can’t not be viewed from the street on none trash pickup days.
I bought a few fall decorations from Hobby Lobby last night. And brought up my big tote of Halloween/fall decorations from the basement. A few of the decorations light up and/or make noises....Our big dog freaks out easily, she's such a baby! DH was chasing her around the house with a giant spider that shakes and lights up. She barked and barked, it was funny! Secretly, she loves it....and always comes back for more!
Yeah! For Halloween decorations. Share some pics when you get done. I love looking at Halloween and Christmas decorations.
I was listening on the radio this morning and they were talking about " Cameo" where you can pay a celebrity to do a personalized message. I found a nascar driver ( one who dh likes ) and am going to get him to wish him a happy birthday and tell him about his tickets to the Daytona 500.
That is a awesome idea. You are so sweet to come up with all these special ideas for his birthday.
So disappointed we’ve just unpacked the delayed delivery and one of the mirrored bathroom cabinets is badly damaged. Now I’ve got to start the process of replacement and return. May end up just having a refund. On that note my peaceful evening is over I think I’ll distract myself with my book!
Sorry to hear you are having issues with your cabinets. It’s a big ordeal to deal with returning those things.
Couldn't resist giving the German potato salad a taste test as it came out of the oven, It smelled so good!!
For science, right? wink, wink!! (it passed the yummy test)
Sounds delicious. My hubby really likes German potato salad.
What a wonderful treasured gift to get some of your hubby’s grandmas cookbooks.
Can you take another pic of your Apple Oatmeal cookie recipe. It was not real clear. I would like to make those. They sound delicious. Thank you for sharing it.
Today I am 3 weeks away from leaving fro my trip.
It will be here before you know it.
Making some meringues for tomorrow night. Going to make individual mango and passion fruit pavlovas. The farm store had a glut of mango`s to use up, she said they`d be wonderful to pulp down, hope I can resist and there`s some left over for tomorrow.
The pavlovas sounds so good.
Also will be whipping up some banana oat muffins. Instead of sugar, they have dates in them. They are sooo quick, easy and delicious. I just soak the dates first them toss them into my blender with all the other items....then of course add chocolate chips
because if I toss chocolate chips into any baking, they eat it. I'll probably have to make 2 batches and freeze some for another day.
Wow.......everyone is baking. Sounds good.
Just like that Tuesday morning, it is supposed to be a beautiful day in NY on the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
This was a series of photos taken by my neighbor from our local park that we can see the NYC skyline from.
KStar...........I think everyone can remember that fateful day as if it was yesterday, but I know it was extremely difficult for those who live so close. Lots of hugs today all around.
Robbie.......hope you`re having a lovely time on your trip........
Thank you Schumi......official vacation starts tomorrow.
Beautiful sunny Saturday morning after a good lightning and rain yesterday evening.
I drove down to my home in Florida. Went to bed early Wednesday and I left 12:30 am Thursday morning. So I could make it through Nashville Chattanooga and Atlanta. The trip was pretty uneventful, but tiring.
I will head up to Orlando for HHN fun tomorrow.
I have some things to do today so I need to get moving.
