Good morning.
Dh had a bunch of Amazon digital credits. He used them to rent me the Barbie movie. I will watch it today. Dh is going to have breakfast from the diner down the block. So, he will eat half this am and half for dinner. Their portions are enormous. What's on your menu?
teddyw , my prayers are w/you and your dd. May you have a smooth, easy flight to be w/your daughter if you go to seattle. How is she today? What are her doctors saying? ((((HUGS)))).
tanya2 , how is your husband today? I'm thinking of you?
jeremysgirl , welcome to your first day of vacation. Enjoy every second of your time off.
What is everyone doing this weekend?
May my wonderful tribe enjoy a happy, fun and relaxing weekend!

Prayers for all that need them.
I am just happy it is Friday! We may go out to dinner tonight so that saves from thinking about what to have.

teddyw I didn't see your post until this morning. How scary! Please update us when you can. ❤️ I'm making Chex mix right now and I'm halfway done with my laundry. There are cowboy cookies on the agenda because that is a sacred camp tradition. Jeremy did all the grocery shopping last night and I'm so glad about that so I could just do my food prep today. He's at work right now. I'm debating which crochet project to take with me. I feel like I should take something that is already in progress and just get it done. I've got 70 pages more in that book to read and I've got to finish it and get it back to the library before I leave tomorrow. I also need to make a trip to the pharmacy because I need some medicine and some toiletries. We will have some kind of takeout or sandwiches or something with no clean up tonight. It's hard to prep to leave your house for a week when you've got to take half the house with you. Lol!

I wanted to show you guys too that when I got home last night I had a package. It was from our good friend quiltz. She had commented on my work thread that I should indulge in some Canadian chocolates. Unfortunately we don't have them here. But she sent me a little bit plus a Halloween T-shirt! Does she know me or what? And what is this voodoo magic that is the Coffee Crisp bar? Seriously 😋 delicious. It was a nice surprise after a very long and hard week.

DS and SIL will be arriving about noon to kick off our birthday celebration for her. DH's 2 stepsisters will arrive from Oregon this evening. We will meet them for brunch in the morning to surprise SIL. Then SIL's daughter and her family (DH, DD & DS) will arrive tomorrow afternoon and meet us at the Escape Room for some fun. For dinner tonight I'm servicing tri-tip roast, roasted sugar snap peas and a fruit salad. Prayers and hugs for all our tribemates who need them.

What a nice gift! My friend in Ontario brings me dozens of the full size bars when she visits. Dinner here is ziti with chicken and broccoli. I’ll have a salad as well and very little pasta.

Grandboy #1 is here today and sleeping over tonight. He always spends his PD days with DH. It’s been their thing for years now. I’m around but they usually do their own thing together and I’m just in the background. I love that they have this bonding time.
I’m meeting a friend today for a bike ride along the waterfront and then supper. Not sure where we will eat yet. It’s a gorgeous day for a bike ride.
My grand dog was neutered yesterday. Everything went perfectly but he laid on his bed and cried unless either DS or DDIL was petting him. Apparently today he is back to normal like nothing happened. But now they have to keep him quiet for 7-10 days. He is an English Mastiff. And a big suck!

taylortroop our vet prescribed a sedative for a couple of weeks to keep him from being too active. It really helped as he is prone to zoomies when not walked (even when walked) and jumping etc. teddyw and tanya2 thinking of you and your loved ones. Hoping to hear today is better. At the park I walk a walking path trail and a large tree branch snapped overnight with the top of the branch resting on the ground but still hanging on arching over the path. I called the appropriate department and only got voice mail so called the non emergency number for our police dept and they sent out an officer who came and took pictures. Then when I was leaving the fire dept arrived but looked like they were going to tape off the area. DH has to work this weekend so it will be a quiet one. Tonight will be salmon, pasta and asparagus.

And what is this voodoo magic that is the Coffee Crisp bar? Seriously 😋 delicious. Coffee Crisp is so freaking yummy! Just one of those things that you have that you don't appreciate as a Canadian. They make mint Aero as well ... to die for! What a great thing for quiltz to do! I dropped my baby ... er ... Jeep ... off at the dealership at 8 am to have the running boards installed and get the detailing done that they didn't do when I bought it ... it's going to look so awesome! Now I want a nice cover for my spare tire on the back My girlfriend is coming over for dinner tonight ... we'll have something from Hello Fresh ... she can pick ... Then we will watch a couple of episodes of Selling the OC on Netflix.

I agree with you - Santorini is just magical. Today we have been out and about again. We spent several hours at the marvellous Hungarian National Museum, then visited the Basilica of St Stephan, then DS and I went on the Budapest Wheel, while FH bought us aperol spritzers. For dinner tonight we are at a burger and ribs bar, just finishing our drinks now and then we’re heading to a sports bar to watch our team play.

leannec I'm guessing you can find whatever kind of cover you might want for your jeep. I was behind one the other day that said Let's Go Brandon...🙄 So apparently they aren't letting that go anytime soon.

I might choose one on Amazon that my dd's could buy me for Christmas ... that's an idea!

Hi Everyone, I have read the threads for the last 2 days; but by the time I do; it is 10:30 to 11:30 at night. So I didn’t post. scrapmaven I hope that you are feeling better and I am so glad that your procedure went smoothly. scrappert Enjoy what ever you do tonight. teddyw I am so sorry that your daughter suffered this medical emergency. I am keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers. hutchfan Your dinner sounds so good. jeremysgirl I hope that you have a great time on vacation. quiltz What wonderful gifts that you sent to jeremysgirl. You are so thoughtful and kind. cadoodlebug Your surprise party sounds incredible for your SIL. Your meme cracked me up. I showed it to DH and he also laughed. ntsf Good luck on the basement. KelleeM Your dinner sounds great. taylortroop It sounds like you are having a great day. Have fun on your bike ride and dinner with your friend. I hope that your DGS has a great time with your DH. karenlou I am so glad that you had an amazing time on your vacation. You deserve it. Marina That is wonderful that you reported the branch being down. Your dinner sounds delicious. leannec Enjoy your time with your friend. I bet the running boards will really look nice and help you getting in and out of your baby. sueg I am so glad that you and your guys are having such a fabulous time on your vacation. tanya2 Keeping you and your DH in my thoughts and prayers. Wednesday, my friends took me to a luncheon at church. I was able to eat 2 meatballs, a tiny piece of vegetarian pizza and a small serving of strawberry shortcake. I was so excited to eat raw fruits and vegetables again. The I came home and was tired. I had leftover spaghetti and meat sauce for dinner. Yesterday, I drove to the church and did my prayer group. When I came home, I had to take a nap. I was craving Mexican food. So DH bought me a chicken taco and a chicken tostada. I ate about 3/4ths of each of them. My diabetes numbers are way down. I am so happy. Tonight I don’t know what we will eat.

It was my pleasure to give a boost to jeremysgirl before she goes on vacation. I was out and saw the skeleton t-shirt and thought that she should have it I have been cleaning & decluttering a LOT, so dinner tonight is a salad that I just picked up at the store. Welcome home karenloudestined2bmom ~ So glad that you are eating real food again.

Hi we are all very stressed out about Father’s surgery next Wednesday. I don’t have a lot to write about but I have been working on my quilting project. I need to start cutting soon. This is my first time.
Dinner tonight could be beef stir fry if I or we feel like it.
I am avoiding my friends IRL too because I don’t want to pick any fights or ask questions or anything.
Becki I hope you have a great camping trip!

teddyw, I was glad to see your DD was doing better this AM, but how scary for everyone! Hope she will meet with her own doctor when she gets home. quiltz, that was just the nicest thing you did for jeremysgirl. Welcome home, karenlou. You guys are adorable. DS brought over some chili he made with tri-tip. It’s really tasty but too hot for me (I used to be able to eat hot food but suddenly a few years ago, I totally lost my ability to handle anything even remotely hot … very weird). I ate it anyway. It was very filling. Doubt I’ll want much for dinner. Maybe an ice cream bar to cut the heat!

Great picture karenlou. I’m so glad you loved it there. It’s on my bucket list. Thanks everyone for all the prayers. Dd is good and they discharged her.she has to see a neurologist when she gets back. She flies back tomorrow her dad flew out in the middle of the night. It’s good he stepped up. I went grocery shopping and did some chores at DDs so when she gets back she can relax. I’ll grab Luke’s luggage and do his clothes I’m picking them up from the airport. Picked up my rental at the dealer. It’s a ford edge and I could get the back windshield wiper to work. Even with Google. Making homemade veggie pizza with an arugula salad and something with peaches and raspberries. Dh is at a golf tournament til who knows when. Have fun at the escape room with your family cadoodlebugThe weather is supposed to be great next week jeremysgirl. Enjoy your camping trip. I asked dd3 if she wanted me to sell her miniatures at our studio show. She was noncommittal til I saw an email from ikea for 25 of the frames she uses. I need to step it up on my incomplete projects.

It's hard to prep to leave your house for a week when you've got to take half the house with you. Lol! I feel so seen...you don't even know, lol!

teddyw, it's a relief that your dd is has been discharged and is doing well. Hopefully, this was just a fluke and she is absolutely fine. Still, I know you'll breathe your sigh of relief when the neurologist pronounces your daughter just fine. cadoodlebug , have a great time at the escape room. I will warn you in advance that you will come out of it feeling really stupid, but it's so much fun that it's worth it.
karenlou , that's a lovely photo of the two of you.
lucyg , what flavor of ice cream bar will you be enjoying? Best pregnancy moment was eating a Ben and Jerry's coffee heathebar crunch at a ballgame and watching the two best players hit back to back home runs. That made being a mom totally worth it. (J/K)

Haha... we can't check in tomorrow until 3 pm. So we can't leave until at least 1pm. So we have plenty of time to let that dry before we load up in the morning. I'm still baking. In between reading that book. And I really ought to get my butt to the pharmacy.

karenlou lovely photo! Camping is fun but so much work, before and after! I remember camping in the Tetons and nothing like having that for a view. Or camping on Catalina Island on the Isthmus. Beautiful scenery and memories.
