Re: “2024”, Everyone, Please Join Us!

hi all. DSIL got home Thursday night and had Ezra yesterday. they came over in the afternoon and put together Ezra's birthday present, a motorized truck. thank goodness it has a remote that we can use to control his speed or stop him if we need to. he absolutely loves it and has already learned to drive it pretty well. here's a pic of him in his truck and DH on his John Deere, riding back to the house.

today was busy with pre-birthday party preparations. the cake is so cute (DD ordered it from W'Mart and they did a great job), the cole slaw and baked beans are made and we bought the pulled pork from a local barbecue place.

it will be so good to see our friends coming from out of town and Ezra will have so much fun..

sending blessings to all.

here's a Harrison county sunset..

have a peaceful evening, y'all.

Good Early Evening,

 

@MariotaMurielle , Ezra sure looks like he's enjoying his new truck...and like a little twin next to your DH. Great gift! And, your long driveway is perfect for him driving around. Enjoy celebrating tomorrow with your family and friends!

 

@JustJazzmom , I'm just amazed at how well your doing. It doesn't seem that long ago you had your surgery. Good for you! The weather is beautiful here now. High 60's today. More like what we're used to, especially this time of year. 

We're planning to meet my sister for lunch tomorrow in Temecula, Old Town. It's a little over an hour from where we live. A little less for her. We'll have lunch and do some shopping. Lots of historical shops and sights to see. I'm looking forward to getting away.

 

Everyone enjoy and have a great rest of the evening..

Hi Everyone!

 

@MariotaMurielle - OMG Ezra looks so cute driving his truck and with your DH. He will drive you crazy now as that is all he's going to want to play with.  With that driveway, I see races in his future with his Grandpa.  LOL  Have fun at the birthday party.  Give Ezra a kiss and a happy birthday from all his online "aunts."

 

Today I finished cleaning the kitchen.  I did it in stages.  One day I did part of the kitchen, the next day I did the rest.  Had to stop for a bit today to sit for a while but then was able to finish.  Tomorrow, the dining room.  It's small so shouldn't take me long. 

 

Went to Safeway and picked up my prescriptions and it was so nice that it wasn't hot.  Finally starting to cool down here.

 

Have a good evening!

Good afternoon! We had some rain this morning & it's cloudy now. 

Went to the further away market for half price Starbucks coffee! I picked up 4 bags!  Noticed that my check tire pressure icon was showing on the dash so I stopped at a gas station & put air in all the tires. No luck; icon remains on. So will have to check if local mechanic is open tomorrow (holiday). It might be a valve sensor issue. 

Had some figs with some garlic herb cheese with EVOO & white balsamic vinegar for lunch. Thinking of having my leftover salmon for Sunday dinner.

 

Loved the picture of your 'Speed Racer' @MariotaMurielle .

we had a great birthday party for Ezra.. as usual, 2 or 3 of DD's friends from work said they were going to be there with their young children but didn't show up. we kind of expected several no-shows, because that just seems to be the nature of things these days. we had about 15 adults and there were 3 of Ezra's little cousins for him to play with and they had so much fun chasing each other around.

everyone enjoyed the pulled pork sandwiches, baked beans and cole slaw. the cake was so cute and tasted good, too. the photo makes it look like it's leaning a little bit, but I think it's just the angle of the picture.

@SleeplessinSDand @JudyL , I think y'all have both mentioned that you like RMS Beauty products. I decided I want to try some cream eye shadows and found a 30% discount for her website. if you're interested, it's trendmood.

DSIL decided to take 2 more days before returning to Kansas City, so I am being very lazy today. I did a lot of work over the last couple of days getting the house presentable for company and helping with the birthday party, so today I'm going to be a slug. Smiley Happy

oh, @SleeplessinSD , at my last doctor's visit a few months ago we discussed my insomnia again and she suggested that I try a natural supplement that contains valerian root. last week I bought some Procaps (Andrew Lessman) Nightime supplements that have valerian root, chamomile, ashwagandha and melatonin. it does seem to help me fall asleep faster and I've been able to lower my dose of Ambien. maybe eventually I can come off of it entirely. also, I restocked my magnesium and haven't had any more leg cramps.

it's a beautiful day here.

enjoy your Monday, y'all.

Good afternoon! Intermittent clouds with drizzle today. Got up early & mechanic was booked today so tomorrow morning will go over there. Guy behind the counter thinks it might need a reset but will check if it's a valve sensor issue. Fortunately, they are in stock if needed. 

Debating to make pumpkin spice muffins. Leaning towards it using chopped pecans & added cardamom to the batter. 

 

The cake looked very cute! @MariotaMurielle 

Have a great Monday.

@MariotaMurielle , Ezra's cake is so cute! Did you say you ordered it from Wal Mart? Sounds like the party was a lot of fun. I do like RMS products. I'm pretty well stocked but I'll check out the eyeshadow and also Andrew Lessman's night supplements. His products work well for me. I hope you can catch up on some much needed rest.

 

@JustJazzmom , I still have that recipe you posted last year for the pumpkin muffins. I remember making them, and they were very good. I need to do again!

 

@AuntG , I hope you're feeling better...

 

Wishing Everyone a blessed day...

@MariotaMurielle  - The cake is so cute!  I don't get it when people say they will attend a birthday party or some other event and then not show up.  What is with that?  I was raised and I raised my DD that if you RSVP that you will attend someone's party or event, by gosh, even if you don't feel like going the day of, you go anyway. 

 

I do like RMS Beauty products - wearing some today in fact - and have a 20% code that I use but yours is better.  Will remember it next time I order something.

 

Wishing everyone a good Monday!
