Good grief you have had it up to your ears.  Boy I hope by the new storm hits the NE  you will have heat.  I went to see my brother and family in AZ.  I have been madly saving since Ed died so I had enough for a 4 day trip to Las Vegas and took my daughter.   We are not big gamblers so we headed for free shows etc.  I had a car rented so a 6 hr drive is nothing.  Both the Tucson Gem Show and Vegas were not filled, and I found really nice but cheap rooms.  For Leigh's  birthday I took her to see Donny Osmond.  She lived it, and cried when he did numbers from Joseph and his Technicolor Dream Coat.  All food and gambling came to $500.  I did a lot of cheap food requests on Google. 

Like you I love my ice cleats.  I even have picks on a cane I use once in a while.  We have Bern out shoveling several times a day for the last few days.  Being close to Lake Michigan we get more once the lake gets really cold.  I hope you do not get the sub zero stuff we are getting starting tomorrow

Wow you are special.   I love pancake breakfast and dinners too.  I had to shovel several times in the last 2 days.  I am watching neighbors houses, so had to do their walks and long driveways.   I hope you are not getting hammered with snow.  Have a great 2026.  I am crossing my fingers it is great.  Hugs dear

Hi dear.  I found out yesterday that I will also have folks coming on the 25th....Now I will have to check the freezer for a pork roast to make BBQ.  I will need to run out for buns tho.  I sure miss my Ed.  I have a portion of his ashes in a Christmas box under the tree.  Enjoy your new school adventure in January.   Hugs

* sorry i've not always been consistent being on either *

* since Joe died sometimes i'm just kind of in disarray *
* on these cruises to use credits that weren't returned to credit card used *

* definitely a road tripper but making the best of my cruises *
* met a few nice people but pretty much keep to myself *
* home on Saturday *

* hoping you enjoy a safe, healthy and blessed Thanksgiving weekend *

Ohhhhhh I love little ones.  I buy and out out toys for kids to take.  This year was a lot of battery operated things.  I found a talking horse Saturday,  and it was gone today.  Also gone was a phonics toy.  My English to Spanish toy is still there tho.  Seeing little kids is the best.  Enjoy the fall, and hope you have had wonderful weather.  Hugs

We stayed just outside of Lexington,  and asked about small family diners.  Nice.  It was hot, but next year I am going west to east on Highway 12 in Michigan.   Filled with antiques and that is what we love

87 and humidity is the Pitts.  I was on the west part of the city and it was 92, got back home and it was down to 80.  Lake Michigan helps.  You may be off again tomorrow because of heat.  After storms tonight it will be 74.  Yeah!!!!

Have fun with the kids dear.  Our Temps in Milwaukee dropped from 94 yesterday to 65 today.  I opened up the house even tho it rained.   Take care
