UnFOURgettably 4 Friday!

Happy day after Thanksgiving! So much to be thankful for...we have heat, lights, clothes, shoes, stocked cupboards, cars that run and a family we love. And most days they love us too! We enjoyed a bountiful feast, ate more then we should have but mostly enjoyed our time with each other. The tables were full, we were together this year. Last year we were in Tuscon waiting out a pretty good storm and our crew had just flown back to the the Big O after a week at the beach. PreCovid...or was it. Bee was sick as soon as they retunred home, a fever that just wouldn't go away or break. SuperTrooper suffered as well and daughter. Shortly after we returned to MO I fell ill to some sort of nastiness, I the one who is rarely ill. Hmmm, makes us wonder if we were afflicted before the outbreak was an outbreak.

Noodles in the making!

Good stuff on the bountiful menu...

There was good food, tasty snacks and yummy dessert. The Bee had several snacks, very little good food, enjoyed yummy dessert then asked for a PBJ! Love that girl.

Her favorite moment of the day!

So thankful for being here with Bee the last couple days. Daughter and family are still settling into their new town and learning about those little DIY homeowner projects that never end. They are still unpacking and arranging, painting and making it their home.

Stay safe, stay well!

Oh, goodness, well our family Thanksgiving is a BIG no go. We have some who have had the 'Rona and are over it, some are still in quarantine due to that and now we have some that just got the dreaded positive. Just too risky. I'm so VERY sad. Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite celebration. I love it, the food (well, okay, not the turkey, but everything else!), the family time, the games, the food. Did I mention the food? Noodles, mashed potatoes, stuffing, candied sweet potatoes, yuuuuuuummm! 

Anyway, it's off, maybe we will be able to do our Thanksgiving dinner for Christmas, maybe? Remains to be seen. What also remains to be seen is if we stay here in MO with just us or will the kids still come down or do we run north to them. Decisions, decisions. We want to be smart and safe...stay tuned and you will find out what we decide. MO and NE are "hotbeds" right now if you follow the news. So hard to decide and we do want to be safe. UGH...

In localness news the grocery run I just made early this morning was pretty slim pickings. No pie crust to be had, yes, yes, I could make my own but Pillsbury does a real good job. Low selection on produce and dairy was very depleted along with the paper goods aisle. Guess the TP hoarding is starting up again. I saw fewer then a dozen packages of all brands on the row. Paper towels supplies were low as well. So it all begins again. 

Anywaaay...

Stay safe, stay well.

Nothing new to report here, move along. 

Really seems this week has pretty much melted away without incident. Well except for the power outage that affected half the town. About three hours or so we were without power. Some were out less then that others more. Inconvenient but not too terrible. You know the days sometimes blend together and this has been that kind of week. No big news, not anything to write home about, it's been a bit bland. MiRV inquired several times this week, "what day is it?" So it was like, wow, okay, it's Friday, another week marked off on the calendar.  

Hope it's been uneventful in your world. I would say we are taking in and enjoying these slow weeks that seem to just putter by. We have accomplished some small tasks but nothing too big. Though we should probably have accomplished more fall tasks! Guess they will still be here come spring.

Stay safe, stay well.

Well, what a week this has been...we started with participating in the local TRUMP TRAIN that took a little spin around town. Nearly 100 cars participated. Lots of honks, waves and thumbs up. 

We added a little RW&B bling to SMARTie for the ride!

These were all sorts of trucks and cars, old and new it was quite a sight.

Now that this election is in the books I do hope we will get back to business in this country. As we have wasted more time and resources on this election then should ever be allowed. It really is shameful and we are still awaiting a winner...oh my!

On a lighter note, I'm now officially at the double nickel...celebrated with a little shopping, eating and indulging. Who doesn't love a good cinnamon roll! We were scheduled to celebrate another birthday this weekend but circumstances beyond our control have taken that off the calendar. There will still be cake though! Cheers to 90 years, dad! 

Stay safe, stay well.

Another week down not that many left in 2020. Gonna be interesting to see what happens next week. Took the folks to vote today. With age and stairs getting to the actual polls was gonna be a big chore so when the County Clerk offered curbside voting I thought it would be win win! Two votes cast.

She had hip replacement surgery and then broke her other hip a week later. It was VERY important to them to be able to vote!

Pray for our nation, pray for our leaders. Even though I know who is in charge it sometimes makes it difficult to find the good in what's transpiring around our country. Hoping once the election is over some recovery and forward movement on getting our Nation back on track to being the greatest nation is a priority.

Stay safe, stay well.

Oh, my, I'm tired! It's been an exhausting week...but they are moved. First night in the house and the heat didn't work. Thankfully a very responsive repairman had the unit up and running within a few hours. Welcome to homeownership! Noticed an evidently undectected leak while cleaning the hall closet, more investigation needed for sure. This was definitely not a welcome surprise. And that honeydo list is growing by the minute. You will notice your extra cash quickly gets eaten by home projects when you are the owner!

She's on the roof with her daddy and she called to let me know!

If I NEVER help anyone move again it will be too soon. Moving is a sport and not for the faint of heart I know that for certain. With approximately 15 moves under my belt I do know a thing or two about efficient moving techniques. Evidently our daughter did not internalize some of those more efficient moving styles that she witnessed as we moved about the U.S. and Europe! Lordy, I think she may be unpacking looking for things for the next several weeks months! 

Electrical work going on. 

And there was a bit of fun had as we stopped at the local corn maze...

We are back at the Meadow and in recovery mode with a plus one that we always love to host!

Stay safe, stay well.

We have new homeowners...amidst a death and wedding getting moved in and settled has been on the back burner. The last few days we got into high gear to make this move happen. Packing and moving things over are now top priority and our plan is to have them in before the weekend is over... 

We have been on scene since Wednesday evening and already painting has happened and a whole lot of cleaning. Lots more to do with cleaning and still more packing and furniture disassembly and reassembly will be happening in the next 48 hours. As for tonight we are making some supply runs and enjoying a meal out.

Stay safe, stay well!
