Morning MJ &all. My son went to the Gaylord Resort in Denver. Every year they turn the ballroom into a freezer and have themed ice sculptures carved. This year it’s The Grinch. So beautiful. They give you a coat but he says it’s still 🥶. Have another great day all. ❤️

Morning MJ &all. Dinner was fabulous. DIL did a great job. Left stuffed with lots of leftovers.
Debating whether or not to put up the tree. Feeling lazy so I might wait until tomorrow.
Sister brought me some great appetizers from Trader Joe’s. Wish we had one here.
Have a great day all!

Morning MJ &all. Drying and toasting bread for dressing today. Never got to really watch parade because I was so busy cooking. Son #2 can’t wait for Stranger Things. I never watched it but I might try. Feels weird not running around cleaning today. I could get used to this! Have a great day all.

Morning MJ&all. Please be careful hanging lights and decorations. Attending a funeral today for an 82y/o cousin who fell and fractured her skull. All it takes is 1 wrong step 😢
Kitties have begun venturing into the house. They love exploring.

Good morning MJ&all. Getting hubby settled back in from his trip. It was hard on him. He said this was probably the last time he would be traveling. Sad getting old.
Going to watch The Family Stone tonight to start the Xmas movie season. Have a great day all.

Morning MJ &all. Hubby due back today. He had quite the adventure with all kinds of wildlife outside his door.
Little bit of rain overnight and the air feels damp this morning.
Nothing much planned today. Son #2 went to help brother put up lights.
Everyone have a peaceful day. ❤️

Morning MJ &all. Cool and breezy this AM. My favorite after Thanksgiving lunch is a sub sandwich made with turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce. If there is gravy left I might add some to the stuffing😋
Going to put up my tree later this week.
Have a lovely day everyone.

Time to pass the torch to the next generation I guess. DIL has been texting to find out how I do things. I will still make 2 dishes that brother insists I make because only I know how 🤣. Enjoy your day off. I will. 🦃

Morning MJ &all. It’s cool this morning. Crazy weather yesterday. Not sure what I’m going to do with myself this week since I’m not hosting dinner this year. Hubby will be back Sunday and our 46th anniversary is Monday.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day and weekend ahead.

Morning MJ &all. Happy Tuesday. Lunch with brother. He wants Luby’s today. I’m beginning to really despise self-checkout. You do all the work then they demand to see your receipt on the way out. 🤬 I was waiting in line for cashier and was told there was self-checkout. Said “I don’t work here” 🤣

Morning MJ & all. I too have animals deciding when I get up. The neighborhood is so quiet this morning. This change in weather causes a hibernation effect.
Hubby having a tough time getting around on his trip. His back is not cooperating and the pain level is high.
Son put up 🎄lights for me.

Morning MJ &all. Since I’m flying solo I get to cook or not as I please. Ordered groceries from Wally’s and going to pick them up. I found if I order online I spend less. No impulse buys. Then I just have to drive over and pick up. Enjoy the day before weather changes.

Afternoon MJ &all. Early morning shopping at Costco. Separating meat and rolls to share with son. It’s such a madhouse even going early. Took hubby to the airport for his trip to see son #3. Getting a little cloudy. Might need a nap. Everyone have a great weekend and enjoy this wonderful weather.
