So glad you are saving so much, AuntieMe3! I still do use DVR lol. I enjoy some of the Hallmark Channel Christmas movies. I think some of them can be found online.

Also glad you are saving on cable money, Meriweather.

We need a QOTD. I am coming up blank at the moment! Anyone?

Woke up during the night to the sound of rain and thunder in the distance. It was a delight to hear! We had a high of 94 but it feels like 105 outside. We are dropping down to 72 over night so that's good.

We've toyed with cutting out cable but haven't cut the cord yet.

Dinner tonight was oak smoked ribs, Costco mac n cheese and Bush's baked beans.

Love the little pirate. In kindergarten , my son was. Captain Hook and insisted on wearing a beard and held the hook in his hand the whole time trick or treating.

QOTD : have you been to any of the 61 national parks in the USA?

 

[Meriweather]

He does have a Captain Hook sword and hook from shopdisney. He has SOOOO many swords and pirate ships. Spoiler kid.

The only park was The Great Smoky Mountains. I've been to quite a few National Forests.

That's cute, Sparkle! Thanks for asking the QOTD

QOTD : have you been to any of the 61 national parks in the USA? I have been to Yosemite a few times, driven through (I think) some of Redwoods National Park, and been to Crater Lake.

I've been to Sequoia, Death Valley, Redwoods, Mt Rainer, Olympic, Grand Canyon(both the North Rim and South Rim), Bryce Canyon and Zion.

Because of this commercial,

we went to Zion and Bryce Canyon and cant wait we can make it to the others.

We hope we can make it to more in the future but we love going back to the ones we have been too.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Wow, Meriweather you have been to a lot! That's cool. You, too, AuntieMe3

Not a one, sad to say

Going to be a rainy, coolish (68) degree day here. I should do a lot of housework, but I may just take a personal day and not do any of it, lol!
Have a great Monday, and what I hope will be a better week for everyone!

 

[PollyannaMom]

@Meriweather So cute!

@flyingdumbo127 We'll be saving over $100 going internet only. We are prime members so have the prime shows/movies on Amazon plus DD already pays for Netflix, Hulu and Disney+. We seem to watch more from the streaming than regular cable, I think I'm the only one that still watched shows from cable on the DVR. I will miss Hallmark movies around the holidays though.

Hallmark has a streaming app of their own. I'm not sure how much it costs, but you could do the 7-day free trail around Christmastime for your movie fix:

Sausage and black beans and rice for dinner. I'm still not feeling 100%. I was going to go to BJs this morning, but I am too tired. Tomorrow I'm going to Fresh Market for meats, and maybe Publix if there are any good sales. I'll go to BJs next week when I feel better.

I have not been to any of the biggies, but the National Park Service runs some of our historic sites in Boston, and I have been to those.

 

[sparkle78]

Yeah, I’ve only been to a small one in Ohio. Tom Bricker takes some beautiful pictures of National Parks on his other travel website. I want to go to Acadia in Maine and a trip “ out west” in a summer soon

 

[Meriweather]

Check my ticker.....I will be hitting two again next month with DD and DGD.
Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Good Morning, everyone Lovely to see a bunch of new posts and more National Park shares, too.

I hope you do enjoy a day off today, Lynxstch!

Good to see you, PollyannaMom. Continued prayers to you and your family!

I don't know how I could forget Joshua Tree, we only live an hour or so away. Probably because when we went we weren't that impressed, it looks like my backyard. No, its really cool there but the landscape is exactly the same as where I live except there are no houses.

Thank you for this. I knew I thought I had seen something about it but wasn't sure. DD said they have some Hallmark movies on Netflix but I'm sure I've seen all those already.

 

[AuntieMe3]

A local news station just posted this on Instagram....

Which one are you most looking forward to?


As much as I love Halloween and Thanksgiving, I can't wait for Christmas. Even if it's a little different than last Christmas, honestly I'm looking forward to it being a little more low key this year.

 

[Meriweather]

Well. Christmas is my favorite holiday, but this year Thanksgiving because we leave for WDW a couple days later

 

[PollyannaMom]

Good to see you, PollyannaMom. Continued prayers to you and your family!

Thank you! Nephew is doing better. He’s home now, still really sore, but expected to be fine eventually. We are grateful he was so lucky, and we very much appreciate the prayers of everyone here!
