Happy Saturday, friend. Are you finishing up a Christmas chore today? Maybe shopping or addressing cards accompanied by Christmas music... perfect! Tis the Season to be jolly:) 💗💚🎄💚💗
Nights are cold; days are mild. I hope you're liking the changing season, Darlene! Other than groceries, we shop online. Mostly from Amazon, tho occasionally some other online store. We are soooo spoiled now to AMZ and, as a whole, have always been happy w/the purchases from there. No, we don't walk down aisles any more in local shops. Just can't do it now. Thanksful for having things brought to our front door! :) Happy today, pal! *hugs* -di
Merry Monday, Darlene! The sun is brightly shining and a bit warm for my taste, but force myself to remember the 80s of just a few wks ago. lol One day winter will come. That may be a song title?? 😁 I hope you're enjoying the holiday spirit:) *hugs* -di
Happy Saturday, Darlene. Hope your weather is perfect for your plans. We are getting rain; perfect for us. But for some football games... not so much.😳 *hugs* -di
Some of you have snow; others of us have only cold, but happy that it's ruled by the sweet absence of dreaded heat! :) Enjoy whichever is yours, friend. *hugs*
G'morning, Darlene. Have a super Saturday. Once all the leaves have left the trees, we can call the man to clean our gutters. C'mon pretties, fly away! *hugs* -di
Hi Darlene let me know if you ever try making that turkey pumpkin chili
.It don`t seem that difficult to make ,but it does call for a lot of ingredients , and some of them ingredients i dont think mix too well lol like cocoa powder and chili powder
Always fun to experiment though one might be suprised . :)
Tksg is coming soon! Are you cooking a big meal, Darlene? Yes, I truly like the rain, even storms w/ lightning and thunder, but kinda leary of that wind... ever since a tree was blown over on the house some years back. That's scary. Hope your weekend brings smiles! *hugs*
We're halfway thru the month and thru the week, Darlene. Hope these days are pleasant for you. No turkey purchased. Haven't made our plans w/daughter yet. I don't see me preparing a huge meal ever again. We'll see what she's up to doing. haha *hugs* -di
Darlene popped in to wish you a nice weekend.It sure got cold outside.
I have the squirrels trained to come in the morning and i get out and toss them a bunch of peanuts.
They are so cute .There is one that`s a bully lol
He sees his buddies coming to eat the nuts there he goes chasing them away, but the squirrels dont seem that scared as they keep coming and looking for the nuts.
They come at different times of the day to check .
I have to be careful my yard dont turn into a golf course. lol
Today it did seem as if two were fighting and i had to run out to break it up .
Good morning, Darlene! A cool front is bringing in lots of clouds keeping temps down 'til it arrives. Happy Friday-Eve:) I'm busy wishing both of us will have cold weather soon... & SNOW! Smiles, grins, & *hugs* -di
... and Merry Monday:) Welp, here we are again w/temps more like summer than Fall. Maybe next week? No, Darlene, no rain yet here. We're still under severe drought and fire warnings. Ugh. Hope things are better your way. *hugs*

Thank you for your kind words about my page Darlene. Hope your weekend was good and that you'll have a good start to the new week - the last couple days of your beloved October. Not only is it Trick or Treating but it's also my sister' birthday. I love garlic and it's so good for you too and no, I don't have any side effects from it - no dry mouth. The game of dominos is played with flat dice that have two parts divided by a line. You start the game by everyone drawing a certain amount of dominos. Lets say you start with a set of 12 and there are 4 of you playing. The first person who draws the double 12 puts it in the middle. You then have to line up all the dominos in your had starting with 12 dots on the top half - the bottom half lets say is a 6 dots. You then need to find a 6 on the next domino and whatever the bottom half of that 6 is, you need to find a domino that has that number of dots on it. For example 12/6 6/5 5/9 9/2 ect. You keep lining them all up in your hand. This is called your TRAIN. Any other domionos that you can't fit in your hand becomes Mexico. Everyone has to start with a 12 domino. Whe it goes around to who started, if they have an extra 12 domino, they can put this in the extra place and anyone can play on that (from their Mexico) when it's their turn. That's why what we play is called Mexican Dominos. I don't explain it very well, but if you picked up a set and read the instructions, you would understand better. I came in last tonite - when a person plays their last domino in their hand, they go out everyone else counts all the dominoes left in their hand. The one with the least amount of points when "blanks" are played is the winner. We didn't finish the game till 12:30. Sometimes it doesn't take that long, you just never know.
The hamburger soup is really good but not like wedding soup - at least I don't think so. You start off with hamburg, onions, celery, carrots, tomatoes, and all kinds of veggies and beef broth. Google it - there are several different kinds - just do the basics and then add. I put some leftover peas and corn in mine and added pinto beans and green beans - made it real hearty. Add what you want and leave out anything you don't like. I put garlic in mine too. We always need to wind down when we come home from playing on Sundays - it's now quarter after 2am and we'll probably finish watching this one show - House Hunters - I like that show and tape alot of them , then we'll go to bed. What are some of your favorite shows, Darlen? Have a good morning. Hugs, Wendy
Yes Darlene, we do get a lot of kids at Halloween as we live in a sub division they bring the kids in by car. Although last year we didn't get as many as they year before. One year I think we got close to 200. The outside of the house is a bit decorated, but since we'll be sitting at the end of the drive I doubt they will even notice the decorations. Had my brother in law and wife over for dinner tonite. Made a huge pot of hamburger soup Thursday nite and had a lot leftover so I thought this would be an easy meal to have along with garlic toast. Had some cake left that I made last nite, so that was desert. Easy but still not. I have to cook when we play dominos with our friends on Sunday afternoon. She cooks one week and me the other. I 'll think of something easy - I hope! Have a great Sunday - hope it easy and relaxing for you. Hugs, Wendy
Good morning, Darlene! In the 50yrs we've lived here, not one gremlin has knocked on our door @ 'Ween. Being in the country has its advantages, tho I kinda missed it. Have you? BTW, I wanted you to meet Casper, cousin of 'Itt'. 🎃 *hugs*
The end of October is closing in and Halloween is near. Can you believe it, Darlene? If it were cooler here it'd seem more like it. Nearing 80º this week... 🎃 *hugs*
Find simple moments, and the joy of little things today, dear Darlene. Saturday is our football game day (college football). Don't watch pro-ball games (Sundays), tho college ball is on its way there. BBQ is barbeque, and 'sammie' is sandwich. I type like I talk, I think. ha Just keep on asking! Hope you have a restful today, pal! *hugs* -di
Yes, she's Beth777. It's her 3rd page, the 2nd being Tiggerific. She's safe. lol I feel the same way about rain. Some say its depressing, but I don't know that it's ever affected me like that. The house seems so cozy while the droplets fall:) Hope your week has been good to you. I need to get up from here and get my nappy head shampooed. It's too easy to put off, y'know? haha Take care, dear Darlene...
Have a fine, fruitful & fun Tuesday, Darlene! It's so refreshingly nippy outside, and sunny. Just to be in mid 60s today. Lawsy, compared to our summer temps... it's miraculous! ha Today is a 'no cooking' day and I feel happy about that. I don't mind cooking, it's just that occasionally I like a day off, ya' know. I'll probably pack up a few things this afternoon to take to our thrift store so I won't feel I've wasted a good day:) Wishing you well, my friend! *hugs*
Your new page is haunting, dear Darlene! I do love apple cider and am thankful I didn't witness what you did, or I'd have the same dislike for it. Yikes! So sorry, pal. Our game is on early this week (11:00a), so must get something out for us to eat while watching it. We're still like little kids, eating and watching TV. haha Have a delightful weekend, pal. *hugs*
