Happy, Happy to all

Husband has been down w/Walking Pneumonia, spent Sunday morning in ER…He’s on the mend and I spent yesterday in the ER trying to

breathe. So yay I can say the holiday season has officially begun in my house !!!!. Will try to get back to all the holiday things. This Thanksgiving I’m thankful for having his and her puffer’s 😉 and breathing again. Oh by the by, this was all his fault.

We decorated the entire house in preparations for the entire family to come out for Thanksgiving. Ah yay, that didn’t happen. No one’s fault, just life. Probably worked out for the best, b/c tomorrow is a blizzard so no one would’ve made it back. Another day useless, another day… (Trivia Question, ” What movie is that quote from??? ” ) Answer in the comments…. Maybe a surprise for the first right answer 🙂 …

Love and blessings for having a nurse who’s a daughter and being totally capable of dealing with all the health issues…Mom was also a nurse RIP and taught me most of what I know, and giving me so much common sense…Miss you mom.

Hopefully I will have some yummy recipes to share and holiday things that are fun. I will tell you though, I’m not sure what ER visit it was, I cancelled Christmas…I was not in my happy place when I did that…

Blessings to all out there, hopefully things will improve…

Happy Thanksgiving…

Seeing how I canceled yesterday, so happy today is here !!! It worked out well. After canceling yesterday, the husband took me out and we celebrated us and our family w/a great steak dinner at Sullivan’s Steakhouse !!! I think from now on I’m going to cancel days that just bring me down. Thank goodness there aren’t too many of those.

I’m going to add some music along w/this post. I thought this song was appropriate as y’all are retired ballet dancer’s…. 😉 .

I have had a really great year celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary!!!! We went out to North Carolina/Outerbanks and celebrated our family. We are having our 9th grand baby in December !!! W O W. We are so blessed.

My goal for the trip was to get family pics in front of the Ocean, They turned out so great. I will share them with you #frainsthename…(That’s our special codename we use.) Missy came up with that. Don’t you just love it !!! I do 😉 … Enjoy our family pictures…

Happy Thanksgiving…

Busy, busy, busy this weekend. I don’t usually go for the Black Friday sale thing but the deals were just too good to pass up. We had the Gabriella and the, “Littles” (that’s our name for the two youngest of the granddaughter’s”) for Thanksgiving as mom was working. She’s a nurse so they always are working one of the big holiday’s and she picked the Thanksgiving straw 😉 ... Let’s enjoy some music while we look back over an amazing Thanksgiving Holiday …

I didn’t cook this holiday (which is fine with me). #1 my kitchen is no where even close to set up and #2 still waiting on our new furniture which is not going to be here til sometime in December and #3 it’s just so much easier to go out to a nice restaurant and have someone else do the cooking …

All the kids slept over at grandpapa & grandmama’s house on Wednesday night. Grandpapa and Grandmama slept on the couch and the girl’s got our bed. Our daughter told us they just loved our bed. Still waiting for the furniture for our guest room and hopefully by Christmas it will be here and we’ll all get a bed. Not a fan of the couch. They woke us up soooo early. I’ve forgotten the early getting up thing as it’s just been me and the husband for a while. It was all good. Loved seeing little faces in the morning and we got sooo much done..Look down 😉 …

This is what happens when you get up that early …

We decided to go and get some cars first thing on Black Friday OMG…I finally have my own car. I don’t know how to act. I can just go and do what ever and I don’t have to pick anyone up from the train. I have died and gone to heaven. I have been this family’s taxi drive for ever !!!!

Skylark
Dad’s very cool car
It looks good on him !!
The Princess of Plainfield’s new ride !!!

I absolutely love, love, love the colors. I can at least find where I parked now 😉 …

We also did some Black Friday shopping w/the Little’s as the Chicago Winter has arrived…Macy’s had some insane great sales on the winter stuff so we took advantage of that !!!

Ready for a Chicago Winter 😉

No rest for Grandmama & Grandpapa… Will be traveling out East this week for #3 son’s wedding… I’ll share my “Mother of the Groom Dress” for a sneak peak. More pics to follow of the big day !!!!

Hi, SLS fan’s. Always down for listening to some music to settle into my Sunday night routine…Sunday night’s are the best. A whole new week to look forward too and it’s Thanksgiving week Y A Y !!!! So much to get ready for. Will be traveling out east for our #4 son’s wedding. So excited to see him with his forever person. She is just so lovely and they are quite perfect for each other. It’s going to be a swankified event so I really went all out which is fine with me. The weather is looking good too !!!

Jim has picked out the prompt for this week is acoustic music…I’ll be honest, I had to look it up but I get it. My song for this week is done by one of my all time fav musician’s. Ed Sheeran who is great with acoustic music…My song that I’ve chosen is,

“Photograph”

Loving can hurt
Loving can hurt sometimes
But it’s the only thing that I know
When it gets hard
You know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
Times forever frozen still

So you can keep me
Inside the pocket
Of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer
‘Til our eyes meet
You won’t ever be alone
Wait for me to come home

Loving can heal
Loving can mend your soul
And it’s the only thing that I know (know)
I swear it will get easier
Remember that with every piece of ya
And it’s the only thing we take with us when we die

We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts were never broken
Times forever frozen still

So you can keep me
Inside the pocket
Of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer
‘Til our eyes meet
You won’t ever be alone

And if you hurt me
That’s OK, baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won’t ever let you go

Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home

Oh you can fit me
Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen
Next to your heartbeat
Where I should be
Keep it deep within your soul

And if you hurt me
Well, that’s OK, baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won’t ever let you go

When I’m away
I will remember how you kissed me
Under the lamppost
Back on 6th street
Hearing you whisper through the phone
“Wait for me to come home”

Hope you will enjoy some Sunday evening music to focus you into this holiday week. Let’s have the best week ever and enjoy your holiday. We have so much to be thankful for. Remember, You our blessed to live in this amazing country of plenty. Blessing’s blogger’s. Safe travels this week ;).
