Saturday night in a glass......

 

[keishashadow]

Almost forgot to make my pickled beets & eggs, the horror. Hope they get enough of a kick by tomorrow

Getting ready to do a bit of quality control on the Turkey breasts. Nom. Godzilla on tap tonight, popcorn & iced tea it will be

Was so nice in that village we had a walk round the pretty old cottages admiring all the flower displays.

Wow it’s ancient looking but so cute

We do miss that Lindt store too.

Sampled a few squares of those bars I bought for baskets too today lol

got to love Vincent Price in anything....

Oh, yeah!

DD will get a chocolate bunny in her basket. I still make a basket for her, and she enjoys it! Never too old to enjoy some Easter treats!

Indeed, DSs & the DH too It’s the little things

My arm continues to be a bit sore from the vaccine. I was hoping it would be gone by today....maybe tomorrow.

Love the memes.......hope the food goes down well tomorrow....although I’m sure it will.....

Yep, never watched that movie before, didn’t know Mr Price was in it.....it wasn’t a bad movie.....left us wanting to watch more B type movies...

Love a few pieces of Lindt now and again,,...my boys favourite.

Its funny, Tom loves pickled beets.....I prefer non pickled beets....but never heard of them mixed with egg??? That’s a new one for me.

​

Yep, watched one of our favourite modern day scary movies.......The Conjuring with the gorgeous Patrick Wilson as Ed Warren.....amazing movie, and no matter how many times we watch it, still jump at the same terrifying parts.

The clap scene.......wow!

Almost bedtime for us.........clear skies so it’s cold outside.

Yes, another who still does the Easter Basket for my son and husband,......they say not to bother, but they love them. Never too old for treats.......and this year they think I haven’t bothered. Will be a nice surprise for them tomorrow.

Also sent my mum a basket of Easter gifts...she was supposed to get them yesterday, darn post office couldn’t be relied upon. Next time I’ll use a proper delivery service. She won’t get it now till Tuesday.

Sweet dreams

The white part is cream.

Whipped cream?
Like in reddy whip?

Whipped cream?
Like in reddy whip?

It’s called chantilly cream, which is basically whipped cream with added sugar.

Thanks !

Sunday morning and what a beautiful day it is........ Sun came up nice and early as we had clear skies all night, looks lovely out there. Winds will pick up later today though.

And a high today of 58F, so maybe even 60. Better than the forecast so far. Monday will be colder for everyone though....so my relatives on the other side of the UK won`t fare better for a change. They do like to brag when they get warmer than us.......

No plans today except for a long walk this morning......put the ham in the oven to slowly cook and watch some tv, read some of my book and generally enjoy a quiet day with my family. It would be lovely if we could see our family in Scotland......not yet.......but it`ll come.

Bacon for breakfast........ May do a poached egg too with some toast too.

Hope everyone has a lovely Easter Sunday.......

Happy Easter Sunday

Happy Easter all.
Had such a nice weekend so far spending time with DS and DIL on Friday and my brother and SIL called yesterday.

Keisha we are lucky to have lots of the pretty villages around with the old cottages. Wish some of the new builds fitted in better in those areas. Only problem is car parking. Those cobbled streets weren’t designed for every home to have at least one car.

Em and her friend had walked from their homes down to a nice village about four miles away and had take out toasties sat in a churchyard there before walking back and as it was so much nicer than expected came and sat out in the garden. Then DB arrived and we were thinking are we ok but luckily the garden is large so we carried on. SIL had baked us Easter cupcakes. Lifted my spirits to see family.

Today will be a quieter day but we are planning a field walk after our zoom church service. Hot cross buns for breakfast - I shouldn’t but I love them and Slow cooked lamb later. Chocolate too of course.

We were touched yesterday when Em received a surprise delivery from a local charity who provided emotional support to her and the children. Em said there must be others who need these gifts but the lady said it’s not about need it’s a well done for you for carrying on and being a brave Mum. So much chocolate and some toys too. Some of the toys Em will gift onwards. Will add to the Easter hunt next weekend.

Hoping everyone is keeping well and enjoys their day whether celebrating Easter or a long weekend.

 

[schumigirl]

And we`re back!!!!

 

[Charade67]

Yay!! we’re back. I think my last post disappeared though.

 

[keishashadow]

Treading lightly JIK things are still fragile

 

[schumigirl]

Yes, seems to be a few posts missing.......

lol Janet......yes, we`ll tiptoe for a while......

 

[Realfoodfans]

I thought I’d lost you all for ever! Off to bed now though - listening to more Agatha Christie! Catch up tomorrow hopefully.
Sending out positive thoughts x

I've eaten pickled beets and they are quite nice. Never tried pickled eggs though, which is weird...since I've had eggs almost every other way possible, lol!

I'm glad you were able to see family!! That's always nice for a holiday!
Hope you had a nice Easter!







We had just about the nicest weather for an Easter Sunday that I can remember!!!
We sat outside for hours! Threw the frisbee for Hatley repeatedly and I brought Barney's bed outside so he could snooze in the sun. Even Strawberry was out for a bit....but she must be watched closely, since she has a habit of eating grass...

Lindsey couldn't find her Easter basket for the longest time....I put it inside our clothes dryer!!! I was quite pleased with my hiding skills, lol! She loved all her 'goodies', and shared some chocolate with her dad and grandpa. She was particularly happy about the Lululemon gift card and bottle of strawberry wine in the basket!

All the food for the day was amazing! And my mom surprised us by bringing lemon meringue pie and a chocolate brownie pudding pie! Add in her bday cake, and we had 3 desserts! We were stuffed!!

Today, tomorrow and possibly Wednesday will continue to be very warm and nice. I took the dogs to the park again late morning. It's such a quiet park, we hardly ever run into anyone else. I can let Hatley off leash and she runs and runs! She's a good listener, so it's not a problem. Barney, that's another story....
Thurs-Sun will see rain and the temperatures drop again. I will enjoy every minute and soak it all up while the good weather lasts!

Tonight is leftovers from Sat/Sun. And tomorrow night is pizza paninis! I've never made these particular paninis before, but I'm certain they will be good!

Heading back outside for a bit!!!

Welcome back to all the homies !

Hope all are able to get back online and
check in here!

Aww, my zoo picture post disappeared. We had a very nice brunch at the zoo, then a great ham dinner at my sister’s home. And yes, besides the matzo, chocolate was had.

So, if all did not see that post, apologize if you did see it:



Red tail hawk, porcupine, and just had to have 2 bald eagles shots.

And ugh, not only could I not complain to you about my very early Monday morning start, was like ack, DIS was down. So glad it is back, as I enjoy reading and looking at all the homies news and pictures posted in this SANS.

And so, as an early evening with a beautiful sunny day to end, totally enjoyed our close to 70 degree day. Particularly, as highs of 50 and rain in the 7 day forecast.

And yeah, the poor pocketbook month of three taxes to pay. Sigh.

But as an almost final note, yay, flights booked as SW opened the Fall flights. Hope the times I picked stay as booked, and used points, so you can bet I will be hoping for lower pricing, as yay, no change fees with SW, and will get the points back if lower price.

So hey homies, hope all had a Marvelous Monday.

 

[Lynne G]

Oops, second picture was this cute burrowing owl.

 

[macraven]

Don’t forget the boards will be down tomorrow 9-10 am
April 6 2021

Very nice zoo photos!
Love that cute little otter!

Yay on booking flights! That always makes a vacation feel 'real'

I had all day to post, but the boards were down. They finally came back just as I had stuff to do. Just got back from taking B back to school. Poor kiddo is a little overwhelmed right now. She made the mistake of registering for this semester without talking to her advisor first. She scheduled herself 3 upper level classes in her major. She now has 2 research papers and a project to complete this month.

I can't remember what I last posted about my mom. She is now in a nursing facility for physical rehab. She has a follow up appointment with her surgeon on Wednesday, and also needs to schedule an appointment with an oncologist in Columbia to discuss treatment options. One of my cousins is the transport driver for the nursing home, so she will be taking Mom to her appointments.

All the food for the day was amazing! And my mom surprised us by bringing lemon meringue pie and a chocolate brownie pudding pie! Add in her bday cake, and we had 3 desserts! We were stuffed!!

Yum! Lemon is my second favorite dessert flavor after chocolate. Sounds like you had a very nice Easter day.

Aww, my zoo picture post disappeared

So, if all did not see that post, apologize if you did see it:

I missed the post the first time, so I'm glad you reposetd. Love the otters.

But as an almost final note, yay, flights booked as SW opened the Fall flights.

Yay! Once step closer. I am patiently waiting for AP hotel rates to be posted.

I have decided that I want to go back to using a fanny pack at the parks and am looking for recommendations. I read through some old threads to get some ideas. I've looked at some online, but it's really hard to tell if I will like something without seeing it in person first. I need something that will comfortably hold an iPhone XS Max in an Otterbox. I don't want too many pockets, but would like it the have slots to hold credit cards so I don't have to carry a wallet. It also must be able to fit around my ample body.
