It seemed like they were determined to keep him on the show until he won, which I believe he eventually did. My DW continued to watch the show and every time I walked into the living room when it was on, I'd get sucked back into it again. After a while, I had to avoid the living room on Thursday nights. LOL. I just watched the final episode on replay with Lisa. I have to say it was interesting and I was sucked in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted December 16, 2022 #80678 Share Posted December 16, 2022 So for the traditional birthday dinner we went to Hickory Grill In Pennsylvania. I enjoy their fish options and Rick had the Beef Stroganoff. I must say we both left very satisfied. Then as we we’re getting ready to leave ( we were seated by a bar booth) I look up and see this picture. And all I can say is (sea dog). I know it does not do your 4 legged family members justice. But I thought of you. My DH walked away because I had to ask a man seated below the picture if I could snap the picture. Of course he said yes to me the crazy old lady. Then off to Kraynaks to see Christmas trees Be safe. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it was hard to be away when you got the call, but I know that peace you received the following day was from her.

Sunshine3601 Posted December 16, 2022 #80686 Share Posted December 16, 2022 It has been an ugly day here. Started with some snow, then sleet, then non-stop rain all day and more tomorrow. Yuck! Tonight Eric and I went to his Mother's house. While Eric worked on finding paperwork. Hidden in many places of the house I worked on her bedroom bureaus and closets. When we downsized her to this house in 2015 I tried to get her to get rid of clothing, etc that she no longer used buy she didn't. Now we have the job. I have lost count of how many trash bags I filled up with old sheets, towels and clothes so far. I am picking out items in good condition to donate. I am going to take some of the towels, blankets, etc to a local pet shelter that use for rescue animals. Tomorrow we have our Christmas luncheon at Pinevill Tavern from 12 to 4 pm. Everyone is looking forward to it. Should be lots of fun! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted December 16, 2022 #80687 Share Posted December 16, 2022 We’ve survived the movers bringing our belongings! It went so smoothly I was amazed. Both the packers and movers were absolutely top notch. If I knew how easy moving could be I’d have done it sooner! Kudos to Allied and Coleman Worldwide. Thinking about having some iPhone photos turned into wall art. Has anybody done this? I found Easy Canvas Prints online and it seems pretty straightforward. We have three spaces over our range that I need art for…and rather than try to find three similar subjects, I thought I might use some of my sunset/sunrise/water photos. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tree_skier Posted December 16, 2022 #80689 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I've been in Phoenix for a week. Had the day off today and drove up to Sedona. It's my first time up there. and wow is it beautiful. This is mountain therapy, Arizona style. Wandered around and enjoyed the views and shopping and then had a great dinner at a little Italian place. I'm only here to thru Tuesday next week. I think I need to head up there one more time. 26 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't started on my mom's linen closet yet! Fabulous. Thanks! We had our Christmas luncheon at Harry's Hof Brau today from my former workplace. It was fun! I came home with Belgian Chocolates from the gift exchange. I stole them from my former boss. Which allowed her to steal a nice piece of art from another attendee. ☺️ Edited December 16, 2022 by Coralc 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonTexasNY Posted December 16, 2022 #80691 Share Posted December 16, 2022 6 hours ago, dani negreanu said: Of course, I remember it vividly. "They" were targeting a nearby army base, and were constantly aiming at Ramat Gan and Tel Aviv.... Those were 6 weeks of scary times. Mostly, we feared chemical weapons. Every time the alert went off, we had to put our masks gas on, first to the kids and then to us... 31 years ago --- After the "scud war", we decided that life is too fragile and took the kids for the first time abroad. Since you're mentioning NY and the Statue of Liberty, that's were we went, and, of course, WTC 😪 Hope so too. I was thinking about your SIL when we minded the grandkids last week in Modi'in. We're passing "her" abode every time we enter and leave the city, and, of course, can see it from their balcony. What a scary time in Israel. Unfortunately, one of many. BTW if you ever want a tour of her place let me know and I'll let her know. You mentioned if you ever sell your current place, it might be an option. She's one of the best people I know and would be very welcoming. 6 hours ago, Ozark_Kid said: When I see the pic of the grandchildren you posted earlier and the pic above I can see similarities.

There's a lot of things we use to do regularly pre pandemic that we seem to be out of the habit, like going to the cinema. Use to go every 10days or so. Think we've been three times since March 2020 Thought we would do more long haul travelling once we retired but it hasn't happened. Furthest we've been is Europe, apart from a quick trip to Dubai last March. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
