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!

October... Anniversary...Christmas and Mice

 


Good morning, Friends!

It seems like I was just here but the date of my last post, says otherwise! Not that I have any great news to report... 


But it was our 51st anniversary on the 26th of September.  What did we do?  Ate lunch out at Tejun's Restaurant.  Buttered shrimp plates.  Really good!





Truth!



I've been trying to learn to do design on Inkscape....hard for me but at least I learned how to print my design from there.  Mostly, I use Canva.  Our daughter saw a photo of this design and wanted it for Sloane...I found photos of baby animals and added the Bible phrases with chapter and verse.  


Sublimation on 100% cotton




No...your eyes aren't deceiving you...Lolol...and yes, that's a swimming pool you see in our living room.  Sloane is having a blast with it.






Sloane modeling the Dr Pepper carton...Very 
chic !!!
If your player won't play it...just change web browsers.  My Internet Explorer won't play some videos but FireFox will, as will Chrome.



If you have unfriendly critters from outside looking for a cool or warm spot to nest in your home...you need to try this recipe!
Ratio of 1:1 each of Jiffy Honey muffin mix (any flavor will do as long as it's sweet). 
Mice can't burp...so the baking soda, in essence, kills them...days after ingesting it.  It's not harmful to your pets (because they can burp) 
It takes a few days or weeks to see results but it does work.
Cut a round hole in the front of each container so the critter can chow down.  About an inch round.  Put the lid back on and find a spot where you think they have a path.





2011,  I  think...



4 years ago...We've both lost weight.



Lol...



What??  A Christmas tree??  Where?? lolol
I still need to decorate it...and it's in our playroom/TV room/Laundry area.  
I love Christmas and never use to put up a tree until after Thanksgiving but hey...we're not getting any younger!  And I like to celebrate as long as possible!





 Our Sloane, modeling a Dr Pepper carton...see video above... lol
Well, that's about it for me.  Hope you all are at peace, well and happy.
So until next time...
