Good afternoon from a sunny but still chilly, SW. Pa...Of course anything below 75 is chilly to me, lol....
I've been MIA for a couple of days but it was mostly all good stuff....
Mary, Mother Nature seems to get a good laugh out of pulling tricks like that....I'd like her to keep the tricks and give us some treats, like maybe no snow or warmer and more sun....Your Thanksgiving plans sound very much like mine....Last year, being the 1st without Jim, I stayed home and this year, just haven't decided which house or if I'm just staying home again or if anyone just wants to come here....I can whip up a great grilled cheese along with tomato soup at the last minute, oh so good! Any more with all the kids scattered, the holidays don't mean as much....
Oh, you'll love this one...I had a text/picture from Nick the other night...The picture is him getting a tattoo on the inside of his arm...I had no idea what it was, thought maybe something related to the AF but he told me it was a game symbol...I did tell him, if he gets another, it better be a heart with Grammy in the middle....But, he looked so grown up and so handsome...He'll have all those British gals chasing him...
Carole, (with the e) so nice to hear from you...You seem to have such a busy life out there in the sun...Always a sad thing when a good friend moves away but just hang on to all those great memories and they're never far away....
Jana, Love to hear stories about your talented family...I always wanted to be there when the kids did anything, even high school band practice...It's always a proud moment for any parent when their "kids" are doing something like that....Just yesterday, I had a video of little Lena walking and midway across the room, she does a little dance....I asked Cari when she was starting her Irish Step dancing classes, this gal is ready!
Becca, with all you had going on for the weekend, you must be worn out...But, what great news about the babies, getting to be real "butter balls" aren't they...And so happy the benefit was a success, so many good people out there and for good people.....
Tina, hey, if I lived closer, I might be standing at your door on Thanksgiving...I have a feeling, you'll be having a feast....I've found if I get, even an hour more sleep, I have a terrible time getting back in my old pattern...I really, really hate to just lay there while the rest of the world is fast asleep...Baby Girl doesn't like it either, disrupts her beauty sleep.....
Well, my fun filled last few days were just that...Friday, my sister called and said, throw an extra pair of undies and a tooth brush in a bag and come on up....She and I started with lunch, then shopping for a lift/recliner...In between furniture stores we stopped at an Amish store and loaded up on goodies...She then had a call from a nephew from Alaska that was stopping by that evening so we had to get home...This nephew and his wife really had some stories to tell, we had pizza and they stayed until about 11:00...Then a friend of my niece's came over and we sat and played cards until almost 3:00..Needless to say, no one was moving too fast on Sat. But, I did make it back home late Sat. night and then yesterday Terry and his wife were here most of the day, so it was a good, good weekend....
Did get the laundry done and just changed into decent clothes and running to do some errands while it's fairly warm outside....Nothing much planned for this week so maybe I'll work on my cross stitching and also some sewing....
As for dinner, might just be a sandwich...I got some Lebanan boloney and Horseradish cheese at the Amish store and just enough left for a sandwich...I believe Lebanan boloney is probably a Pa. (Amish)thing but I have fond memories of my Dad taking it in his lunch when I was younger...You really do have to acquire a taste and sometimes the stomach doesn't approve, lol......
You all have a great rest of the day.....
Happy eating.........
EAGLE Update!
There are now 2 eggs in the Florida nest...Harriet laid the 2nd on the 16th, so they probably will hatch 4 days apart and that's kind of a big difference, but we'll see what happens....
The other day, while she was sitting on the eggs a huge adult eagle landed in the tree and then kind of swooped down close to then nest...Harriet really let out the noise and defended her eggs fiercely...It left but returned a short time later and then both parents escorted it away....Scary times on the nest.....
