Hey all! Blinked and day was nearly done. Helped reinstall my kitchen island...as in I pretty much just got in the way and tried to follow instructions.
17 degrees when pooch finally roused me this morning

got into low 30’s, least sunny day. I never made it further outside than back deck. Still snow on ground. Will be in 50’s for a few days starting Thursday, will dispatch that quickly. Nice to really not have to deal with much snow ground cover at all this year. Not much uglier than dirty snow After it sits there for a while.
Mac - yoohoo…do we need to send out the hounds?
Of course! I get it
Smart, I never take that route tho, God forbid I’d not want immediate gratification lol
I’m going to rely upon you for updates then. Video testing of monster coaster caught my eye a bit ago. I did get an email re the various restaurant concepts, sounds interesting if they can pull it off Like the idea of a central hub of sorts.
I’m guessing we passed by the “value” buildings last trip. At first I thot, ew, soviet block house stuff…then the sunset light hit it. Was a real riot of color. Didn’t get a good look on what is applied to the outside to create that effect, pretty cool.
That is amazing. I love to hear of seniors living their best life in their 80’s & 90’s! It’s a real blessing indeed to have your health & mental facilities in those golden years.
I read that as Indian burn (think they call it chinese burn in the UK) lol.
Sounds like a really relaxing afternoon, lucky you
lol.....I admire you trying to help Janet!!! Bet it all looks lovely now, hope you`re happy with it.
I may end up just booking the full works when I do book, by the time I get round to it my highlights/lowlights will need redoing anyway. My girl did leave the salon I went to and seems one other has left too, not sure how it`ll work without those two ladies and she has no plans to replace them. Not a good businesswoman or boss, or person for that matter.
Yes, Russian blocks is a good description. I think once the lights and landscaping is complete they "may" look flashy, but not for me. But the one inside is going to look amazing! And the rides do look like they will be a lot of fun and that`s an understatement!! I can`t help but follow all the updates, Potter especially will be spectacular!
Yep, Chinese burn over here, I`m guessing they still hurt the same!!
My mum is a warrior, she really is and her zest for life is incredible and we are incredibly grateful she has all her faculties and is still sharp as a tack. And think I told you, that filter has gone.....lol......which can be funny at times....sometimes lol......
Had a lovely afternoon thanks Janet!
Good evening. Quick post before bedtime.
Now that we have decided on a couple of vacations I really want to start planning, but it’s too early.
Nothing interesting is going on here right now. I finished my last state cross stitch. Now I need to get them all framed, but I have no idea where to hang them. My house does not have a lot of useable wall space.
Here is Virginia.

And here is the little project I worked on during the Super Bowl.

I’m going to take a short break from stitching and then start on a Spiderman picture.
Looks nice Charade. I`m always amazed when flying over America and looking at the Skymap how many name places are the same in Britain. Even on your picture are Norfolk and Richmond, from Boston onward there are so many same names.
Spider-Man will be nice to see.
Well Janet I have been reading posts but this past week have been tied up in real life situations but will work on posting more soon.
You have a good eye as not many notice when I have not joined in on a thread.
You caught me red handed.
Some days are better at times for me
I will catch up in the thread some days real life gets in the way
but i aim to make better progress soon
some days are better than others for me
Always good to see you post mac!!
We do get busy at times I know and you`ve had a lot going on.
I did look when I got home, but the emails I sent you from my phone before I left the spa, the spelling wasn`t too bad....I didn`t have my glasses with me....lol.....sometimes with no glasses it`s like reading another language as I`m guessing where the letters are!! I hate typing on my phone, usually sticking to txts!
Not too bad a day ahead for us, sun will shine but 20+mph winds, so no walking this morning again for us even though it`s mild, will look to see if we can get out this afternoon maybe, unless it rains of course! There`s a very good reason we have such green countries in the UK.
No real plans for today, yesterday was a busy one so maybe not much today, going to make breakfast muffins for us this morning, doesn`t take long to whip them up and another new tea this morning to try. my friend said I might find it too strong so not to leave it for long brewing, will take her advice. Had regular breakfast tea when I got up, very British way to start the day indeed.
Defrosting some steaks and plan to make burgers tonight as requested by Tom, will grind the meat down later when it`s ready and might them spicy and add jalapenos. Tom has a bun with his, I don`t, always find it too filling, will make triple cooked chips and whip up some coleslaw and a little dressed salad too.
Lunch is easy, brought out some sausage rolls, will just eat them on their own, so more of a snack lunch.
And almost finished my TR......finally!! It does take time and should have been finished by now, but as mac said earlier, life gets in the way sometimes.
Time for another cuppa before I pop the muffins in the oven.
Have a lovely Tuesday!!!
