As long as I can get my occasional outside of the house coffee, and my ground coffee, I'm good. I haven't bought donuts from them, not a big breakfast sandwich person, so no problem.

2 of my local supermarkets carry DD coffee and I believe Walmart and Target also carry it.

Can I bring my dog, too? And, can I bring hubs (almost forgot)?!

No prob. I'll even get a steak for Jack

Oh, you have been away from the US and our crazy products for too long, my friend.

It's basically Amazon's version of Siri, and they sell their Echo devices for your home so you can control stuff with your voice. You can order Amazon products, turn on the TV, change the channel, dim the lights, search for things online...I would like one just to reprogram it so I can say, "Computer! Turn on the lights." Like on Star Trek.

No more stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My dh already talks to his computer and yes he says hello computer

Happy Farm Market Friday. Very happy indeed my dining room has been torn apart cleaned and put back together. The only problem is my dh put the treadmill in there

It's a "guy" thing--no sense of design aesthetics. I recall a time when I had cleaned the livingroom in the morning, and when I came back in the afternoon, a Kobalt tool box somehow appeared in a corner of the room. I said, "What the heck is this?!" Hubs: "I was looking for a spot for this, and it fits right in that corner." Me: "Get it outta here!"

Seeing we're going to have a crowd she'd better bring some Grey Goose. I have the recipe for slushes

Forget the slushes, let's drink from the bottle.

seeing there's stairs between where it is and the garage he needs help moving it and I got busy making gnocchi yesterday.

What about the rum I have put aside for Lapus?

Well, that's good to hear. At least the treadmill wasn't his "contribution" to the interior design of the room!

Now if only he'd do something about all the wires in the house

Rum will have to be mixed but I have no clue what Lapus is.

Reminds me of when dh plugged in 2 rechargeable batteries for the hedge trimmer and weed wacker in the dining room. They were there for a month.

 

[MySmallWorldof4]

I see. I did not know that.
I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to let me know that. Very kind of you!
Have a good night.

Doesn’t mean we still cannot throw out a few more.

Happy Friday!

Woke up to see it snowing this morning, none was sticking to the ground yet though.

I started putting out a few decorations in the house for Halloween, and then realized I have less and less options than before. Our birds have taken over the house. Bird stuff all over the place. My husband isn't the neatest. I am hoping to do some outside decorating over the weekend. I was going to wait until Monday, but now I have a doctor's appointment that morning. Not sure what my primary doctor will recommend about the irregular heart episode during my cataract surgery this past Tuesday.

I heard the white carp might make an appearance here tomorrow. Totally believable, as t is grey and very chilly outside. I was planning on going to the farmers market today but now I don't want to, even though it is the last one for the year.

I love that you thought of your dog before you remembered your husband.

I think I'll pass....sounds a bit too much like that movie with the "smart house". I don't remember what it was called, but eventually the house kind of took over and locked them all inside. No thank you.

So we got a phone call from DS's new school. They have now reviewed his records and decided it's not in his best interest to put him in a 4th grade class, because he's so much farther ahead than even the 5th grade classes. And the one 5th grade class is a pretty quiet group of kids and also has some pretty young ones, so the risk of his self esteem taking a hit by being put back a year is greater than the issue of making social connections, so they have placed him in a 5th grade class anyway. He's all excited, too, because the assistant for 5th grade is the brother of a famous Dutch Soccer player. So there's a "coolness factor" to being in 5th grade. But he's just so happy to get to go to school and he told his therapist yesterday that what he's most looking forward to is making friends. That's what he wants most from a new school. Last night, DH biked with him to the new school to practice the route and they ran into the girl that he clicked with so well at the old school who was warned not to play with him. She asked him how he was doing and and about the new school, etc. and I guess afterwards, he told DH that it's so nice to have people who understand you, because not so many people understand him and he thinks at his new school, more people will understand him because they all have something different about them, too so they know how it feels, and if he's telling them about something, they will get it, because they have had that, too. He can't wait to have friends.
