The plus side would be that the headless horseman would be an inexpensive dinner guest because he wouldn't need to eat or drink anything

Until he takes your head and then lunch is the least of the concerns.

Yeah something about them being family...

My tag line on a different site

Friends are Gods apology for family.

I liked the quote when I had I had to deal with 80

Because I have been working such long hours I decided to leave work at 3.30pm yesterday. (With my boss' permission.)
I decided to walk to the city center in Zurich to get some fresh air and exercise. I checked Google maps, the route looked pretty easy, I just needed to walk up and then down the mountain.

This was at the bottom of the mountain, I usually take the train to the city as it goes through the mountain and only takes 7 min.
My walk started of nice and relaxing but once the actual mountain part started, holy glutonus maximus, it was quite a work out but after nearly 2 hours I made it to the city center. By then it was nearly dark and all the Christmas lights were on. I went to the Christmas market but it had mostly generic things that you find at any Christmas market in northern Europe. Plus it freaked of the Swiss cheese fondue that is so popular here.
I went to the Ecco shoe shop hoping they had the shoes I am looking for. They did have them but not my size .
The shop ordered them in the right size and hopefully I can get them on Saturday.
I then walked toward the main street, enjoying all the light.

It was pretty cold and I was getting hungry so I stopped at McDonald's for some dinner. It is very rare for me to eat out, I always prepare my own meals as I am very frugal except on holidays. I had the Big Bang bacon double burger and I have to say it was better than expected. It had a smokey sauce on it that was delicious. No longer hungry I was ready to tackle my Christmas shopping. Since I am in Switzerlan I just got everyone fancy chocolate. The Swiss really have the best chocolate and the shop smelled heavenly as they make some of their chocolates on site.
After spending an insane amount of money on chocolate I walked on main street towards the train station to catch the train home.View attachment 248385
I thought these dangling lights looked so pretty.
By the time I got home I had walked nearly 17000 steps and was tired but happy.

What a great afternoon/evening! Envious.

Pretty pictures.

That's not bad, here's one that's nicer (carriage and footman are part of the sales package) --

Sorry. Won't do that snow nor those windows. I don't wash windows.

 

[Gabe1]

Oh my that is almost perfect all it needs is a view of

to make it so.

My least favorite park has my most favorite Disney Park icon.

By the way did you see the 4 former guests trying to climb the tree of life this past Sunday? Likely like the Mexican Pavilion in 2015 where over serving could be an issue. Play Where is Waldo to find him.

Wrong mouse

My DS is an intelligent young man. He never spoke of those MOUSE stories until long after he was back at his University.

Can I please join this retirement club? But only the beach version, you can keep the snowy mansion.

Yes. Of course. And correct. No snow.

@RedNoseMickey while I'm not a fan of the chocolate some of my favorite memories were flying out there and watching the candy being made

Sounds like you had a nice afternoon. It was cool to see the pictures too!

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

I hope he's perfectly healed up by then and allowed to do everything but take a long car ride. Sending a bit of pixie dust your way xoxo

Thanks, me too. I hope he can get up some stairs by next Thursday night and so does he because it is Star Wars movie day. Although he says he will climb up the stairs at the movie theater if need be for that.

 

[MinnieM123]

Yeah something about them being family...

You can't choose your family and you can't choose your neighbors.

 

[MinnieM123]

It's crazy to think that my daughter might not ever drive depending on how quickly automation takes over...

Perhaps, count your blessings.

 

[MinnieM123]

thanks for asking. He is doing okay but we won't know anything specific until he goes to the dr next Tuesday. They will do an X-ray then and hopefully the doc will say he can start putting some weight on it.

I hope he'll heal soon. The holidays are so busy as it is, and I'm sure he's going nutty waiting to get out of the boot. When he's at church, he probably has to sit down when he addresses the congregation, right?
