Waiting...Tree, Fireplace and Food.


 
Good morning, Friends...

Well, I finally got our tree up.   I'm not as fast as I used to be but it's up.  The white flocked tree we had for the last several years had a blowout...of sorts...lol.  The bottom two tiers of branches light's wouldn't come on.  We tried everything but, no good.  Larry said he was glad because that meant we would be buying another one...so, off we went to find T-37 at Walmart...several Walmart's!   It's a super popular tree, apparently.  They have tons of any other tree you might want but not T-37.  It has 15 different modes of lights...and for only $187 it could be yours.  7 1/2ft.  Well...I must admit, it is a pretty tree.  1200 lights on it...I remember one year, I bought a tree and hand wrapped each branch with Silvestri lights...over 1500.  Took me two months!  Oh, but it was beautiful.




This is the bright white lights mode...it's pretty bright!  Sunglasses kinda bright...lol











Here's another mode...different colors...we really like this one...twinkling lights.









Remember last week I said Larry had to repair the space heater?  Well, he did but also bought me this cute little fireplace heater!  It really makes the room feel warm and cozy.  It really does heat the room too!  You can shut off the heater and have just the lighted fireplace...nice. 







As so far as food for the week goes, I made air fryer chicken with sweet potatoes...







We went out for our weekly restaurant fare, to a cafe up the road for steak fingers (me) and cheeseburger (Larry).  Both were really good.









After my eye appointment, I couldn't see straight enough...lol...to cook so we went to George's for breakfast...good stuff.








This was Sloane at Halloween...I don't remember the name of the character, but she was too cute...







I also made chocolate chip pecan cookies...








Well, the week seemed to pass really fast!  Mostly uneventful, which is always a good thing!  I hope you all are doing well and are safe.  32 more shopping days until Christmas!  It'll be here before we know it!  So, until next week, and yes...we will be celebrating Thanksgiving on Friday, the 29th, with the family.  If you really know me, you know Christmas is my favorite holiday...Later friends!
