-To change the subject, Son#2 , the Pilot, is finally back in Toronto-- said it was a smooth flight all the way--- saw some lightning around Tobermory, Ontario---He sent some food pictures from Las Vegas---Kailua pork---- with 2 scoops of rice and a mac Salad---
and
-- He ate at an "L and L", restaurant--totally an Hawaiian place----He tells me that a great many Hawaiians have moved to Las Vegas due to the high cost of living in Hawaii----
and
Time to get this house into some kinda shape---I haven't heard from Sadie, that cleaning Lady , who, as you know, is really me---
Have you ever jumped in the car and forgotten where you were going?--- Now , that would really be the pits---Do you make lists ?------where you are off to, and what to do there----I do not believe I could survive without my list---even tho, I try to remember that I am stronger than I believe---
We have to be tough----, tender, and laugh as much as possible--
Sending you all hugs -----so, until to-morrow-----
Ahhhh…. My Mom used to say that saying, A bushel and a peck…. That brightened my day!
ReplyDeleteYesterday we had rain, sleet, snow, hail, and even an earthquake. Didn’t feel it because it wad so small. We usually don’t have any, but once in awhile we do! Last weekend it was in the 60’s and I did yard work. So funny.
I used to go to Las Vegas at least twice a year for a girls trip. We didn’t gamble but loved the shopping! I liked leaving with something new in my suitcase. And the outlets were always so much fun. Good memories! The food was amazing and the people were so much fun to talk with. Loved the many cultures.
Today I’m meeting some friends for lunch. Looking forward to many giggles.
Have a great week!!!!
Jacquie from Idaho
Jacquie --Remember that song?-- "a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck--"----Yu had an earthquake yesterday??----Here it is about 15C in the sun and everything is melting---but--to-morrow--is a different story--freezing rain--ice--snow --blizzard--Yes, our daughter nursed at Trippler Hospital in Hawaii--so we made many trips there--loved the foods--Crazy weather isn't it?--Hugs-- Lynda
DeleteThat last meme? My mama used to tell me that! Or was it grandma? Anyway, that's a phrase from my childhood. Thanks for reminding me.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice this morning, but it's getting cold now. The wind is cold and gusty. We are due for snow this afternoon. By Friday it's to be almost 30 degrees above freezing again! Weird winter we're having!
The food photos are great I really enjoyed the food when my son brought me to Hawai'i with them. He is vegan...they have lots of great vegan restaurants.
I don't care about the cost of living...I want to live there! We were in Kona Kailua. Marvelous. That was 2 years ago this month.
It's great to be able to stay in the home you love for a day. I'm staying in, too. I placed an order for groceries on line. It's due to be here in about an hour.
I plan to investigate my new vacuum. It'll be challenging. Turn this dial one direction for floors, the other direction for carpet...one dial one way for the brush roll and the other way for something else. I'll have to have in instruction book with me.
I did end up taking a nap yesterday. Laid down with Lucky intending to get up soon as he was sleeping. I fell asleep, too!
Isn't it great to have our cupboards and refrigerators filled with our family's favorite foods? Love it.
Did your son come help with the snow?
Did Sushi investigate her new cat tree yet? She will, I promise.
Maybe, staying home and no snow falling, you will be able to get some of your leisure activities...reading, piano, nap... in today. Whatever you do, sis, enjoy! {{{HUGS}}}
I used to sing that song--
Delete"I love you--- a bushel and a peck---
a bushel and a peck and a hug around your neck
s hug around your neck---a hug around your neck--I Do!"
Funny what you remember as a kid eh?
Kailua beach in Hawaii was so beautiful-- WE loved it there--Sushi was on the cat tree last nite but as soon as she saw me, she jumped off--- --And no---- the snow turned into ice because it was raining on the snow-- very treacherous out there--Snow and freezing rain to-morrow--AND---- Himself has Day Care--dunno what will happen there----We will just have to wait and see-- very mild outside right now---So--I must help Himself with dinner--Oh and yes. I am always happy- to see the text from Son#2 the pilot-saying--"LANDED"----- I always heave a sigh of relief-- LOLOL---= He said it was a smooth flight all the way--They are good--all the Pilots-- Hugs to yu dear girl-Lynda
I love being able to read your daily notes! Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteMy life is so similar ( minus all that snow thank goodness) but today is quiet and sometimes that’s a blessing. Our son took hubby to doctor and he is physically fine even though he has refused to take his meds for this entire month.
Go figure, are we paying for what he doesn’t even need?
It’s just such an up and down toppsy turvy life isn’t it?
Love, Phyllis~~ AKA MawMaw from Spark
So its you--MawMaw from Spark--Welcome here--and a lot of Spark people you will see here--It really is a Topsy Turvey life-- Now why did he stop his meds?--Is that the $64 thousand question?--LOL-- Welcome Phyllis -- Nice to see yu again--Lynda
DeleteA bit of trivia: Hawaiians love Las Vegas so much they call it "The 9th Island." And a bit more trivia: Gambling is illegal in Hawaii, and there are enough Hawaiians flying to Las Vegas that a Hawaiian lawmaker proposed a "Las Vegas Tax" for anyone flying from Hawaii to Las Vegas. / Leslie
ReplyDeleteLeslie--very interesting info--Thank yu--- Our daughter used to live there--nursed at Tippler-Lynda
DeleteGlad there is no snow! Hurray for that!
ReplyDeleteOh my! That food look delicious!
Oh my! That little pup in the meme about forgetting where you were going is JUST like Miss Lilly.
Yes, we ARE strong . . . always stronger than we think.
Hugs
Blessings

Hi Barb-- Yes mild day here--raining----Miss Lily in the picture looks adorable-crazy weather to-day--and bad weather here to-morrow--Son#2 the Pilot is happy to be back home in Toronto--but did say it was a great flight--Pilots love it in the sky-LOL-- Nice that he made it back-- Lynda--
DeleteStay home, take your time to breathe. Weather is crazy. We were 93 yesterday, 86 today, muggy heat in north Texas. By tomorrow, back down to the 40’s plus winds of 40+, so too chilled. Nuts! Glad you shopped!
ReplyDeleteOh I know--- To-morrow is supposed to be "the pits"-- freezing rain with snow to follow-- but--to-day is mild---- Very hot where yu are for sure!-Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. I'm so glad himself had a good day yesterday and was able to keep up with you. It does seem that him getting out more often is making him feel more settled. Sometimes I feel like I'm living alone. My husband spends most of his day downstairs in his studio and Daisy and I live upstairs. Although we do eat most meals together. I do make lists too - every day. I have to put important things on them, like a reminder to call a grandchild for their birthday! Otherwise the day comes and goes and half the things I meant to do, don't get done! We are getting colder weather coming in with snow possible this afternoon and evening. And we'll wake up to 6 degrees tomorrow - but it's going back into the 60's this weekend. A lot of people are complaining about not having a real winter - not me, I think this has been the best winter ever!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy--I sorta live alone also--no deep conversations here anymore--LOL--and I agree--a great winter--the less snow--the better with me! -- I talk to the cat and little feisty Lopez--and big Beau--but-I do miss the man I married--LOL--Oh well--=It could always be worse I guess--Hugs -Lynda
ReplyDeleteIt's Marti. I don't have many friends either (and I've lived alone almost 11 years now since losing hubby), so I'm used to my own company, other than the dog. Three back in Columbus (OHIO), where I used to live, only one that texts me, the other two I have lunch with once or twice a year. the one that DOES text me is always all about her, never asks how I am. A boyfriend who also (still) lives in Columbus, until he gets around to moving in, but really, no one to REALLY listen to me, as in "what are your thoughts, how was your day?" Oh, I email the boyfriend every day, I guess I do tell him, and what I've been up to.
DeleteAnyway, I'm so used to me and MY life, that I enjoy reading yours. If you enjoy us, well, we also enjoy you too! :)
So, today I went to work (9:30 to 2:30), then a few errands, and now home. It has been 64 degrees today and overcast. We are supposed to get severe t-storms later on. It's started to rain now, just after I got in the house, yay.
You know, I DO miss Sparkpeople. Maybe they don't even realize how much many of us miss it. It was perfect! Free, and so many groups and challenges to join. I remember most a team I was on called the Yellow Team, it was called "The Biggest Loser Challenge." We had so many really nice members on there who are my Facebook friends TO THIS DAY, from all over. Some, most of them, comment the most on my posts on Facebook over my own friends and family. I feel really close to them that way. Weird, huh?
Yu live alone also Marti??--I did not know that.--Amazing that you can keep in touch even now with Spark friends--nice to have Facebook tho, isn't it?---- ---- i hear from my kids--but not a lot--mainly the Pilot--- the Policeman son does not agree that I blog-- Anyway, it is great for me that I keep the blog going and I'd miss all the friends on there if I ever stopped-- I believe women carry so much on their shoulders--with very little recognition-- and they just accept that as part of their life--=and if it wasn't for the women of the world, the world would never be the same--Anyway----- Thank yu for sharing a bit of "YOU"---nice!-- Hugs, Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda: Weather sounds not nice. This afternoon we got a lot of rain and some thunder and Lightning. But it has been mild. Tomorrow starts warm then gets very cold and rain may turn to snow and maybe ice. Hope your weather is ok tomorrow if you have to take himself to the Lodge. Glad the pilot got home ok. I am used to be alone too as I live alone with my dog. I had a couple of aunts and uncles that also retired to Vegas as it was cheaper to live there than L.A. Have a good night. Brenda
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda--I talk to big Beau--- Himself does not hear me--- but I talk to him anyway which kinda drives him crazy-He probably will not get to the Day Program to-morrow if it is freezing rain--What kind of dog lives with you?----- hugs --Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda! I hope you enjoyed a day at home. No snow falling and groceries in the house is comforting. We are supposed to get severe weather in Ohio tonight. There are about 12 states in the path. The pilot found some yummy food as always. You must tell him that I appreciate him sharing it with us. He is very nice to take the time to do that. Yes, get in car and forget where you are going and then when you get there you forget where you parked the car. lol They call it popcorn brain when our minds just pop all over the place. I think we have too much going on sometimes but we stay strong and make the best of it. Even if we do kinda lose our minds at times. lol Have a great evening!
ReplyDeleteTHAT IS SO TRUE--POPCORN BRAIN --LOL--That storm is due to hit here around 7am--so that means no Day Program for Himself-- freezing rain I hear----It was extremely mild here today--everything melting--So so nice to hear from you--Keep your chin up. a Dad used to tell us-- hugs, Lynda
DeleteLet's hope your weather won't be too bad and the program will be a go. Chin up!:)
DeleteHi Lynda, another great update. I so enjoy hearing from you each day.
ReplyDeleteHoping himself can go to center tomorrow but we have to wait and see what weather does.
I, too, am pretty much alone as my himself doesn't hear nor talk much. He's content sitting in his recliner other than when I go to the gym for classes and he walks the indoor track. I get lonely. At least you have the pets.
Glad pilot is back. I had no idea many Hawaiians are in Vegas. Interesting food pics.
Loved all your inserts. So very true that we are replaceable on a job but not at home. It's all ours to handle...at least at my house.
Oh gosh YES I make lists...to do, to call, to handle plus items needed from store.
Hope your day went well.
Hugs and blessings
Marge in St.Louis where we're having all 4 seasons in one day. Temps will be winter Wednesday morning.
Hello Marge--I think women are used to doing "stuff" and being very much alone and that is OK--I do talk to big Beau who understands english even tho he is a "German" Shepherd--I am happy that you make lists also--I'd be lost with out my list--Right now it looks like freezing rain starting here at 7am--- which mens no day care for Himself--NICE TO TALK TO YOU--- LYNDA
