Okay, I went to Chrome, then to my images, then I hit "save as".... then I came back here, and did the mountain thing, and they are HERE! I'm going to get you all GLASSES! I know that first one is really foggy, but I can't fix it.... I forget what I was even doing now!
HiHo! That is the most GORGEOUS home I have ever seen! I wouldn't know what to DO in there! And you haven't even messed it up yet!
What city do you live in? Anyway I love your home.... is it all brand new? And you only paid 5 million for it? Hah~!

Holeinone, I like the exterior of our your new house as well. How do the windows over the garage fit into the interior design? The roof looks too low for a room over the garage. Are they just like a little dormer inside the garage ceiling?

She probably has a "play-room" up there.... Or it's just for light.... Did you see how many people she could fit in that SHOWER???? That is bigger than my kitchen!

You could definitely get my whole bathroom in her shower!

Wow Holeinone--- you downsized? I love the shower it's bigger than our bathroom! Hahaha Very pretty windows and kitchen!I have never lived in a new house.
Chevy why is the president addressing? Did I miss something? Everyone have a very Happy Tofurky or Turkey Day tomorrow. ((((Hugs))))

Spank me!. I'm a week behind again. Replaced my computer with one supposed to be faster and not really happy with it. I think it has lots of stuff preloaded that needs to be unloaded. DH might (?) be able to do some of it but he has been working like gangbusters. Really really need DD to come out but that's not happening soon. We are having a 2 person Thanksgiving tomorrow. DD is not coming nor is she coming on Saturday. We are set for flooding rains starting tonight with light stuff. I told her to wait until the weather is better. And absolutely no sense to come that far for just the day Thanksgiving since she also has to work on Friday. Mags/Beatmon looks like you may get socked. The freezing rain line maybe just 20 miles N of me eventually. But today it is 68, humid, dark.
I will keep reading between cooking/cleaning. We are set to have 37 new neighbors sometime in the new year. The property across the road was platted and county approved on Monday. Nice houses, bigger and much more expensive than ones on this cul de sac. I'm OK with that. Met the developer - one of them - and he attempted yest. to deliver the plat I requested but darn it I wasn't home.
Jazzy and Chevster - I have to send those doggy commercials to my DD. Hilarious. And thank you Wren for the cat eating with utensils.
Second the losing stuff. I lost milk from WalMart. And yes Susan I did check the car carefully. DH just doesn't understand how it happens. But the most shopping he does is at Lowes lol.
Oh Queenie - what a store. I looked the link up again. I'd be dead broke. Don't have a tea sock, do have 2 of those polyester drop in filters. I haven't been anywhere in the past few weeks but just around the neighborhood stores. Needing a tea fix badly. But I have discovered I love Community Coffee Hotel Blend. Lots of the stores had specials on it this week. Umm we have a coffee glut now but what the heck. I cannot seem to find any other brand of Assam but T&H. I finished the old box but don't really like the new one; odd figure it would be the other way around. .I don't think I'll get into Ft Worth next week to the big grocers unless I go visit DD next weekend. I was out the 1st weekend in Nov. to Grapevine - real touristy out by the airport. I shoulda made DH go early - there is a British Emporium out there. Not really that far from DD. Maybe we'll go.
I had the most fun time in WalMart this week, one of the bigger ones, more cosmopolitan population. Older couple I'd crossed paths with a couple of time speaking what sounded like might be French. They were stymied in the refrig. whipping cream with a clerk who barely knew what whipping cream was. I barged right in making "whipping motions" and saying whip. Yes, yes, whip. She named some luscious dessert and I said yes and the clerk handed her a pint carton. Husb. reaching for half/half - I said no "cafe". Yes she understood coffee. Turns out it was Portuguese. I felt like I'd earned my stars that day haha.
Aww Blessings - so good to hear from you. I hope they find something they are able to treat with all those tests.
Yay Smaarty that Nick is getting his new leg for Christmas.
I see I missed Loverly off to warm Hawaii for 8 days. WooHoo. But I know what you mean about the dog. We boarded ours for 4 nights where she always goes and I feel guilty and they love her there.
Love your house HoleInOne. Downsize is right?
Off to do the dishes and start making something. Not sure what. Maybe brown sausage for dressing. DH requested dressing, sweet potatoes and pie. We'll have a small ham and homemade cranberry relish. I forgot a can of relish so I have to get that done.
Happy Thanksgiving Y'all.

ALOHA FROM HAWAII !!!!

It rained all day our first day here. We were hungry and craving for ramen noodles. On our way out, DD2 spotted this cart on the side of our hotel. She suggested that we "borrow" the cart. "Mom, we don't have to walk . The key is in the cart."

Didn't want to set a bad example. For that reason, we walked in the rain to the restaurant.


Neither of my Dds wanted to look "not cool" in a poncho so they volunteered me.

Noodle soup is wonderful on a rainy day.


Views from our room.


These birds hang around in the garden near the lobby

Yes Jazzy, that is Diamond Head. Thank you Kath.
Nice modern house Hiho.
Ms. CHEVY, my MIL would get along with you. She didn't waste and recycled almost everything.
Rose, enjoyed reading your adventure in VN.
Hello everyone I didn't mention.

Goats, good to see you - try to stay dry!
Loverly, so jealous of your trip to Hawaii. You are rocking that poncho! Soup looks delicious.
Mags, nice horse.

No sign of my mouse yet. I'm hoping he took the hint and went to the neighbors.

Lovelife-Love the quilts! Dinner looked great! Have a terrific time. Is it warm rain?
That is some cow boy.. something tells me they didn't look like that normally.

lovey, We ALL want to come hang with you. I went to Honolulu 40 years ago. Looks good right now. Love the photo with you & DD. Making memories.
Smaarty ! You are cold ? the high here tomorrow is 28. Friday the HIGH is 20 €*~# degrees. I am too old for this. The snow is lovely, cold not so much.
Thanks for all the comments about the house. I feel like a spoiled child sometimes. I live in rural Idaho. The housing market is different than where most of you live. The cost of living here is less than most areas, also wages are not great. DH has been a workaholic since he was 8. We have been lucky in some ways, not so much in other ways. This house is much smaller than the house we raised our kids. The kitchen & master bathroom are bigger. Old house, 4 bathrooms, this house 2. The windows over the garage are just a dormer, or whatever they call that. One floor. I love it, & we are still close to town & friends. Life is good.
Mags, you little tramp....have you been hanging with Sas & CHEVY ?
Happy Turkey Day.
HOOTIE Hoo to you know Who !
Blondie & all our lurkers.....hello, stay warm...

Rosie, I'm sorry.... Yes the President was speaking.... About the precautions and worrisome stuff since the tragedy in France... All of our major channels carried it.... and now I can't find it..... And honestly I didn't want to hear any bad news, so I didn't listen to it....
Have fun Loverly! I would LOVE the rain! It is so cold here... not much snow yet, just plain cold... NOT flip-flop weather...

I saw this meme and thought of this thread, specifically. I don't know why - maybe because we are not aware that yes, our bodies still have that power. And even if sometimes the defenses fail, it doesn't mean that they haven't done their job thousands of times before.

TimTam cheesecake

Hahahahaha....so cute. I would like to have a bite of that cheesecake.
Rose, it is a cool rain, not like the rain we have on the west coast this time of the year. Looks like it will rain again today and tomorrow, but no complaints here. Just grateful it's not snowing! Hah! Love the snow......BUT only in pictures.

Love tradition, but nice to do something different once in awhile. Always love this painting from Norman Rockwell.

And this one reminds me when I was maybe eight. Was chased by a neighbor's turkey on my way home from a friend's house. Good thing I was faster than the turkey and Vietnamese turkeys are a bit smaller than American turkeys.
