AHA! The Joke, Of Sorts, Was On Me Today!

I got the video this morning of Jessica opening day 4 of the 12 days of Christmas! And she said thanks for the pasta bowl! I said, “What?” Lol I knew it was a pasta bowl but it had the same edge as the bowl with the handle on it so I thought she could use it for Chex Mix concoction or anything along...

The Twelve Days Of Christmas Have Never Been More Enjoyable Than...

I am getting more mileage out of this gift giving to Jessica than I anticipated. Her husband is making videos and then she texts them to me! LOL! Today was especially fun because she got a snowman all purpose bowl. He looks like he’s kicking back in a hot tub! So funny to hear it from my SIL on the... Sign in to see full entry.

One Fine Treasure In The Treasure Valley!

I have a fine neighbor. First, he is as genuine as they come. Second, he’s not a well man at all. Third, he’s rather young, mid thirties is my best guess. There’s no gray hair so I am certain he’s not in his 40’s plus his children are rather young, not that that makes a difference these days. [Just... Sign in to see full entry.

Making Use Of The Time On The Calm Before The Storm…

We are under a winter storm watch for the next two days. It doesn’t look like we will be getting a huge amount of snow but the gusting winds could make life difficult in the Treasure Valley! Knowing this was on the way I took the opportunity today with the sun shining and the temperature at 36F to... Sign in to see full entry.

It Sure Pays To Use One’s Contacts For Expeditious Service!

My son-in-law sent my package to my son last Friday. He told me it would arrive by this coming Wednesday! I was very happy with that because it would arrive well in advance of Christmas. But, today I got a text from my son and my package arrived today! I aver aI would never have gotten that kind of... Sign in to see full entry.

An Official Couch Potato For The Day, Well Sort Of…

My day started out by getting up very late, which I rarely do. The second thing I did was read the newspaper and solved the crossword puzzle. By then it was time for the Lions to play. They have been a dismal franchise for more than 20 years but I love ‘em anyway.The Chicago Bears basically handed... Sign in to see full entry.

The Month Of December Is Such A Busy Month! And The Cold… Brr…

I had planned to read and post yesterday but I started wrapping gifts and before I knew it I was just out of gas so to speak. I make a concerted effort to make my gifts look as nice as possible. This year I went with small gifts for the most part simply because last year it was very costly to send... Sign in to see full entry.

It Was The Worst Of Times, It Was The Best Of Times…

That headline sums up my day quite nicely! LOL! It started out unassumingly and then progressed to get worse before it got much, much better. My daughter called and needed gift bags for her co-worker’s gifts, a robe gift box and a portable mini speaker she bought for her husband. Then my DIL called... Sign in to see full entry.

Man Alive, It’s So Cold In My Neck Of The Woods!

I live in a high desert and I make this sacrifice of sweltering heat in the summer to get a mild winter. But, that is not the case of late. I stayed inside most of the day because I could not get warm. Then I had to go to the store this evening and there was frost on my windshield. I suspect it has... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi Ho Hi Ho, It’s Off To Shopping I Go,Er, I Went, Hi Ho Hi Ho

I had told my daughter I would go with her today to keep her company while she finished her Christmas shopping. She basically had stocking stuffers and an exchange gift for her Christmas party and a white elephant gift. I got an email that I had a reward with JC Penney! No wonder with all I’ve spent...
