To-day is National cupcake day--- National Exascale day too, which celebrates scientists and researchers who made breakthroughs and discoveries in medicine, and sciences--and ---it is International Legging Day-- and International No Beard Day--Lord love a Duck!--It seems there are so many special days----I wonder if there is a special day for "older women"-?---There must be!---
Hopefully I do not have to go to town to-day-I did hear that our NO FRILLS grocery store is freezing the price of groceries until after Christmas--- The only problem is however, that the prices right now are sky high--It might help -somewhat.---I do know that I seem to throw away a lot of foods--either I forget the "Best Before Date"-or we just don't care for some things---plus--I do buy more prepared foods- in my "older" age----("Time is of the essence" as Mom used to say-)- - The prepared foods--like cabbage rolls--- or Lasagna-- do help to save time, but-cost more--and sometimes are not as tasty-- When the children were small and at home, I would make all that from scratch-
Hmmmm- -Time to stop dreaming-and get on with the day---Reality------- and you know, maybe it's good to cope with what we have-- things could always be worse---We are fortunate to live where we do--

Oh, my goodness... I think I'm with you... if I had a billion dollars, hire a Sadie! Re-do my house? But the funny thing is, when you've got a billion dollars, people do seem to find out and then they want to influence what you do with it? I decided years ago that I was better off not playing the lottery because I'd be in serious trouble if I won! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great day, and may both our budgets stretch to meet the immediate needs, one day at a time!
But it would be fun Barb--I think-Lynda
DeleteA billion dollars?? Hmm, I know for sure I'd have a 4 bedroom, one level home built, with 2 or 3 bathrooms of course! :) I'd also help my children and many of my friends, financially. Would money make me happy? Nah, it would just make my life easier.
ReplyDeleteLove and many, many hugs coming to you, Fred and all your fur babies xoxo
Nice got read yer comments Gloria--Thank yu-Lynda
DeleteI’d love to have someone to do all the grocery shopping and cooking!! Just saying whatever you feel like having for dinner AND it magically appears…..Wouldn’t that be awesome?!
ReplyDeleteHope that you have a peaceful, uneventful day! ❤️Eissa7
That is a great dream--a meal just magically appears--I love it-Lynda
DeleteHope you are staying warm! But I know you are used to early cold weather. Cold here in the Northeast today and tomorrow then back to the 60’s and 70’s. I hear the prices will come down after the election. We can only hope! Take care!:)
ReplyDeleteOh man! I hope the prices will come down--- after the election eh?--Lynda
DeleteYup . . . every day on this side of the ‘sod’ is golden (my Dad said that).
ReplyDeleteI have had to throw away some foods since the fridge/freezer died on Friday (but did get the new one yesterday). The lesson I learned is . . . those foods I threw away (and I feel very guilty wasting food!) were food that DH and I thought we’d enjoy . . . but didn’t. So no processed foods, but will just stick to the basics. Works out better that way.
IF I had a billion dollars, not sure what I’d even do with it! I am comfortable just as we are and happy where we’re at, so, guess not much would really change. There are renovations I’d do to this house, too. But nothing that urgently NEEDS to be done right now. And even so, right now it is so hard to find anyone to do the work! I'd help the kids out. It's tough for them right now.
Ah, it's fun to dream!
Here's to a terrific Tuesday.
hugs

Your dream sounds like mine--nothing needs to be done here right now--but--its kinda fun to dream eh?-Lynda
DeleteYour store is freezing prices? Great...but how high will they go after Christmas?
ReplyDeleteI'd have built a custom small house in Hawaii...two bedrooms, one and a half baths, drawer dishwasher, carport. The property would be fenced in...the front porch screened, a screened in patio/terrace area in the back overlooking a pool, kiddie pool and hot tub. There'd be climbing rocks on one side and a trampoline for when my grandkids visited. Oh, and a drop down spice rack. The inside fenced area would be lined with those beautiful pinkish/red flowers with the yellow centers that grow all over Hawaii. There would be palm trees in the back corners of the property. I could see the flowers and trees while floating in my pool. My kitty would be on his cat tree on the terrace watching me. From my property I would be able to see mountains and watch the sunset over the ocean.
Sigh. I imagine it every day. I'd hire a Sadie, too...and pay her well. Maybe feed her if she needed it.
{{{HUGS}}}
Sigh. I imagine it every day.
Wonderful dreams-- and yu do have it all planned out--LOL--and min Hawaii-- Our daughter used to work as an RN at Trippler Hospital there --- we visited her several times-WE loved the people there--and the food-- and the ocean--and the Turtles--LOL-- -but--it was not home ------ I love your picture of your dream-- Lynda
DeleteIt is fun to dream about having a lot of money. I'd definitely help my son and friends. But alas, it's a dream. I have what I need today.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you...tired of cooking and over here its low salt and low fat...boring.
Cold in St.Louis. sunny but only high 20s this morning. 80 by Sunday.
Have a great day and keep Dreaming!
Play your piano.
Hugs ❤️
Dear you---Yu are so right-- We already have what we really need--It was cold and wet snow fell all morning--melted now-- So good to hear from yu-Lynda
DeleteNice to dream, isn’t it? Have a good evening!
ReplyDeleteWe all must dream some times--Lynda
DeleteJust got a say I wish I had the billion, I'd build a house somewhere warm all the time, then could take a trip to the snow if I wanted to, then give so much to people who have dreams and things they need...anonymously of course.
