good luck, hope she’s a keeper! Did previous one retire?Dentist in the morning, never a fun thing to do, but just a check up and will see how the new dentist is. If I don’t like her we’ll change to one closer to where we live now.
nice when the meal comes all together well. Didn’t have time to let the brisket sit long enough to slice as normally I’d do. in past have put in fridge & sliced down the next day. Dave never really liked it that way. He & youngest DS have proclaimed it a new favorite shredded lol. I’m good with it either way honestly.Food looks gorgeous Janet…….like the meats!!
um love a good brownie. Frustrating, my DH only likes those boxed versions. They are just ok IMO. guess it’s what he grew up with???Did not mind heating up the oven today. And I like them, as one bowl and one pan. All enjoyed them when still almost cooled, and no reason not to have them as an evening snack with my tea.
hopefully, the tide will turn, following the UK model as we normally doThough both of us are a bit nervous of how much different FLA is to where we live. But masks indoors, not a problem. And so, we are still looking forward to getting away before she starts college.
funny how medical appointments often tend to cluster together. Good lucks!Have a busy next 3 days in a row, all doc appointments
Only dread of them which is the dentist
More crown work
admittedly superstitious I am, however, always considered 13 to be a lucky number. Also, think the whole black cat thing is absolutely rubbish. Makes me sad to think the shelters have to stop their adoptions as Halloween approaches because of the sickos.Countdown is now that scary number13, and yep, have my oldest niece that was born on this month’s Friday the 13. So next Friday, I’ll be wishing her a happy birthday, and then having a two night countdown. Woot!

i have no compunction about taking any extra precautions & masking up even when not mandated if I find myself uncomfortable In a situation. have a found a few times while stuck in checkout lines & people around me are cluelessly hacking etc, it helps settle my mind lol

Well hello strangers!!! I finally found my way back!!
I scanned pages and pages, to get a bit caught up. It's amazing how many pages go up in over a week!
DD and I had an amazing trip to Boston!!!! I must give a proper shout out to Worfiedoodles and Bobbie68!
They PM'ed me with some super information on Boston, which was incredibly helpful for our trip!
We thought Boston was clean, safe, a shoppers haven, a foodies delight, and a history buffs dream location!!
We will surely be back to this awesome place!!!!! (might post a few pics of the highlights)
DD is off to Milwaukee later today and will spend the night. Was away from friends for too long I guess!
DH left yesterday for his annual fishing trip. He will come home sometime on Saturday.
Easing into this beautiful Monday! Happy Day all!!![]()
Thanks for thinking of me!Was about to call out the doggies to find you .....
Hi Lynne! Yes, great trip! I'll post a couple pixYay, Paris had a great trip. Thanks for letting us know how it went. Family seems very busy.
Lunch was grilled cheese, the older one’s go to, and I’m fine with it. Pickles and a brownie, full now.
You do have a wonderful husband Carole!!!! So thoughtful of Tom to arrange this special meetingDefinitely a keeper! Really liked her, I worried for nothing. Very gentle lady who is very sympathetic to nervous patients. Yes, our regular dentist is semi retired, so only works one day a week, but in October he`ll be fully retired, he`s about a year older than me, and will miss him, but will happily see this lady again.
Yes, love it shredded with the jus......or sliced.....yep, either or for me too.....
13 has always been lucky for me too.....no silly notions of it being unlucky, but I won`t cross on the stairs or walk under a ladder. Tom won`t cut his nails on a Sunday......lol....no idea why, don`t even think he knows why......
Welcome home my friend!!!
Glad you enjoyed Boston and the time with your lovely daughter. The history alone makes it worth a visit, and yes the food!!! Seafood alone would win me over.....would love to see your pictures too......
Worfiedoodles is wonderful too!!!
So, yes dentist went well. Nice lady and after my appointment, Tom said lets go into this hotel for morning coffee....we have had lunch in there before and it`s lovely, so said yes why not. But, what I didn`t know was he had arranged for us to meet my goddaughter, her husband and the baby who live quite far away from us and had planned to visit sometime soon!! I did let out a rather large yell when I saw them in the lobby......such a surprise and many happy tears were rolling.
They are travelling to see other relatives today, and had stayed overnight with this surprise in place for today. So, we had a lovely lunch together and a few hours together this afternoon. The baby is adorable, and not such a baby anymore....almost 7 months.
My husband is wonderful!!![]()
And spoke to my cousin after her and her husband spent a week at RP recently. They loved it. And are already booked for HHN too. They managed to do all they wanted to do and enjoyed many lovely meals including The Palm, so I`m glad to hear it was a success for them after a few poor reviews of that restaurant.
But, they had a list as long as my arm with folks asking after us when they found out they were related to us, so that was lovely, she said she wrote them all down so she wouldn`t forget......but, so happy they were so looked after and had an absolute blast. New RP enthusiast. And thankfully all the restaurants we recommended they visit, they loved. phew.....
Beautiful day here but cooling down a little now and sun has disappeared now.....
My DH is on his annual fishing trip right now. Hope he brings some goodies home! I love such fresh fish!!Finally getting to do a quick stop in.
Busy weekend here...with last minute changes as the kids decided not to come visit us. It's a holiday long weekend here...so I'm currently enjoying coffee and bailey's and catching up.
We decided to do a little road tripping, and go fishing at 2 lakes we don't get to often. We were successful at both lakes. Only brought supper home one night. The other lake. we put the little trout back to catch a different time. It was a good weekend overall - despite having to change plans last minute. There were no camp sites or hotel rooms around anywhere we wanted to go, but we had fun where we went. The second lake, was a little lake tucked into the mountains and rough roads, but was amazing once we got there. It is definitely one of those " off the grid destinations" The attached picture is not fog...but smoke. So much smoke here over the weekend again. But at least there is rain now falling in the areas of wildfires. Hopefully soon, the smoke starts to clear.
Looks like everyone has been having a great couple of days.
@Lynne G I am glad you were safe from the tornadoes. It is so scary. They are rare here. but do happen. 34 years ago...a big one hit Edmonton and 29 people died. There was another one that hit a camp grounds around this time 21 years ago (when we were moving to our current city) and if I remember right, 8 people died. They are scary and deadly with no rhyme or reason at to where they will hit.
Well, I should make me meal plan and grocery list for the week. Not much else planned for the day. A few chores to keep do today....I would love a self cleaning houseBut I am going to enjoy my lazy day here.
Have a great day everyone!!!!
Thanks for thinking of me!
We've been so busy, my head feels like its on a swivel.....but I'm enjoying every minute of it!
Hi Lynne! Yes, great trip! I'll post a couple pix
You do have a wonderful husband Carole!!!! So thoughtful of Tom to arrange this special meeting
Glad the dentist was a winner!
I will post a few pics, as the trip was superb!
Still on "catch up" mode.....and more plans for tomorrow!
My DH is on his annual fishing trip right now. Hope he brings some goodies home! I love such fresh fish!!
Here is a food picture....a whoopie pie and a lobster tail from the famous Mike's Pastry.
The lobster tail had to weigh over a pound!! We didn't finish both, but gave them the ole college try!

that’s funny, says alot about you two though, had to be nice to hearBut, they had a list as long as my arm with folks asking after us when they found out they were related to us, so that was lovely
sounds so relaxingWe decided to do a little road tripping, and go fishing at 2 lakes we don't get to often. We were successful at both lakes.
Just saw this. That’s a monster of a whopping pie. is lobster tail underneath it? Looks like a pasty to me…what do i know lolHere is a food picture....a whoopie pie and a lobster tail from the famous Mike's Pastry.
The lobster tail had to weigh over a pound!! We didn't finish both, but gave them the ole college try!
My grandmother had her last child after my mom had her first. We have an uncle who is a few years younger than my brother and an Aunt who is only a few months older than my brother.My mom’s family was like that also
the many years of an age spread caused it for them
20 years apart in age with siblings
Sadly we never lived close to any of our cousins. There a a few that I have seen 2 or 3 times during my life, but most I have never even met.I always enjoyed having lots of cousins growing up, many lived away from us so it was always fun to travel and visit them and vice versa.
Looks yummy.At the risk of breaking my arm patting myself in the back...most photogenic cheesecake I’ve made LOL tasted pretty good too
I love a good brownie.That, and a brownie piece, as had made brownies this afternoon. Did not mind heating up the oven today. And I like them, as one bowl and one pan. All enjoyed them when still almost cooled, and no reason not to have them as an evening snack with my tea.
Sorry to hear that. Dh needs several crowns, but the insurance company doesn't want to cover them.Have a busy next 3 days in a row, all doc appointments
Only dread of them which is the dentist
More crown work
Sounds lovely. I can't wait for cooler temps.And ah yes, the rain has left for days. With that almost clear sky in the overnight, a Fall feeling start of the day for sure, as 59 degrees out now.
I don't think I have ever made them from scratch. I may have to try that sometime.um love a good brownie. Frustrating, my DH only likes those boxed versions. They are just ok IMO. guess it’s what he grew up with???
I wouldn't mind having a black cat. I think they are adorable.admittedly superstitious I am, however, always considered 13 to be a lucky number. Also, think the whole black cat thing is absolutely rubbish. Makes me sad to think the shelters have to stop their adoptions as Halloween approaches because of the sickos.
My first cat was a tuxedo cat.Yeah, Keisha, guess 13 why it is said to be unlucky or black cats is not something we care about. Baker’s dozen is 13 is a good thing, and I love a black cat, even those cute tuxedo cats.
Great to hear. I really hope to get up there soon.We thought Boston was clean, safe, a shoppers haven, a foodies delight, and a history buffs dream location!!
We will surely be back to this awesome place!!!!! (might post a few pics of the highlights)

Wow, those look huge.Here is a food picture....a whoopie pie and a lobster tail from the famous Mike's Pastry.
Happy belated birthday.Thanks for the birthday wishes
The whoopie pie was a dense but extremely moist dark chocolate cake, with frosting in the middle. The lobster tail was filled with a combination or ricotta cheese, sweet cream, and something else. Both were decadent and super!lol.....as long as you enjoyed it......I`ve never had whoopie pie....but you know me and sweet things.....lobster.....absolutely!!!
Yes, I think I`ll keep him for sure........lol......
Hope your DH brings back something lovely, fresh fish is hard to beat Lori!
Take it easy and enjoy getting back to normal......
Happy belated Birthday Tink!! Glad you had a wonderful dayHi everybody
Thanks for the birthday wishes
I had a wonderful day... Danielle had to work but Trey took me to lunch at a hibachi restaurant then it was onto a shopping spree at Penny's ...got 3 dresses and a pair of sandals to wear on our trip. Trey also got several pairs of shorts, swim trunks, trousers and shirts. We both had a good time and got some great deals. Then we went to a cupcake shop for dessert...blew my diet big time.
Paris...those pastries look delicious.
Have a great day all![]()
I never thought of Boston as a foodie location, but I was wrong! This city knows how to do many foods top notch!!Ooh I’d be all over those sweets Paris. Yay for a bakery stop during your sightseeing.
Pumpkin, how nice to fish and beautiful picture of of the lake, even with the smokey sky. Hope your rain does clear the air for you. Funny, older one said he’d like to go up North some day, as they have many lakes. Well, to be fair, I said nice lakes around where we live, but yes, would be nice to go to our New England area states, including Maine. Some day, maybe a road trip for us. Not in Winter though.
Yay, Tink sounded like a nice birthday, and great to find new clothes and sandals for your trip.
Ah, was a most lovely lunchtime walk. Did bring the cans up. Ready for more trash.
A what for dinner. Will see what little one wants. Older one will probably snack and take food with him, as he will leave for work about 1/2 hour after little one gets home. And with her, it’s a crap shoot. Either she’s starving or not hungry and promptly starts to online play, and around an hour and a half later, a what for dinner is said by her.
It was a pastry, lol...named lobster tail for the resemblance. Both were monsters!!Just saw this. That’s a monster of a whopping pie. is lobster tail underneath it? Looks like a pasty to me…what do i know lol
Yay on getting the house back into shape!! November will be here before you know it...better to wait for what you truly like!Good afternoon everyone. We had a busy weekend trying to get the house back into shape. We got almost all of our pictures back on the walls. I discovered that one painting is starting to separate from the frame, so I need to get that fixed.
Today we were informed that the flooring we chose is on back order until November. We were given the choice of waiting until November or picking out a new floor. It took us awhile to decide on the flooring we both liked, so we decided to wait until November. In the meantime we may go forward with other projects we were planning.
My grandmother had her last child after my mom had her first. We have an uncle who is a few years younger than my brother and an Aunt who is only a few months older than my brother.
Sadly we never lived close to any of our cousins. There a a few that I have seen 2 or 3 times during my life, but most I have never even met.

I wouldn't mind having a black cat. I think they are adorable.
My first cat was a tuxedo cat.
Great to hear. I really hope to get up there soon.
Glad you had a good visit. I like my dentist, but never spend much time with her.
What an awesome and super sweet surprise.
Wow, those look huge.
Happy belated birthday.
DH is attempting to cook dinner tonight. I think I should go supervise.
