Tea Party in the hood

My friends Sally Boyle and Rox Pennington invited me over for tea this afternoon. We had a great time visiting with some nice hot tea on this cold, ugly day..thanks ladies, love you bunches!

 

I love watching a man use power tools! Am I right, ladies?

Merry Christmas

 

Tunnel of lights

Out for an evening walk through the tunnel of Christmas lights in Kinmundy park. The tunnel is my favorite decoration every year.

Time for a new facebook profile picture

 

My grandma and grandpa Westman

Christmas time always brings back memories of past Christmases...this is the wedding picture of my Grandma (Beulah Flannigan) and my Grandpa, John Westman, Sr..parents of John Westman, Jr., Bob Westman and Mary Belle Westman (Knight), my mom. I have so many wonderful memories with these two people who started it all..I still miss them so much! Even though they have been gone for many, many years, they will always be remembered in my heart.

 

Deer me

Time to break out the photos of Christmas past.

 

Please continue prayers for my brother

My brother, Milo Knight is doing much better today. The nurse told me that he had made a "miraculous recovery" from yesterday morning. He is not out of the woods yet however. They moved him to Evansville, Indiana today, as that was the only ICU room that was available right now, due to the resurgence of Covid..I got to talk to him this morning and he sounded good. He said to thank everyone for all of the prayers. Please keep them up, they are being answered and we are so grateful..I will keep you posted. Much love to all of you.

 

Prayers needed, please

My brother, Milo Knight, needs lots of prayers. He is at Salem Hospital in the ER right now. He is very sick with sepsis, a mass growing in his esophagus, liver problems, excess fluid, low bp and many other things. He is very bad. All and many prayers are appreciated

First snow before Christmas

 It's Snowing!!!

A beautiful Winter sunset tonight

 

December summer

What a gorgeous day! It's 70° and sunny! I just got back from my walk and enjoying a little time in the swing. Sure doesn't feel like December. I hope everyone is having a great day!

Good morning, world!

We took an early walk and watched the sun come up this morning, 28°, but very refreshing! Have a great day all!

Happy Thanksgiving from our house to yours

 

Supper at Chuck's Place tonight. I love it when Bill "cooks"..

Hamburger Vegetable soup

Hamburger Vegetable soup, it's what's for dinner on this cold, windy November night!

Potato soup and biscuits for supper tonight..all homemade from scratch, of course. Oranges and dark chocolate for dessert.

 

Too cold to sit outside in the evenings now....so we had a day fire.

 

Happy birthday, Mama...

Happy Birthday to my sweet mama in heaven today. Mom was always a more quiet reserved person most of her life, but as she got older, she just let her true funny self be seen..here she is in full Red Hat lady attire when we were all in the Little Egypt parade one year.. I miss her so much and always will.

 

Happy Birthday to my cousin, Linda, in heaven

A little Halloween decor

A beautiful warm (but windy) Fall afternoon, we've been sitting outside enjoying it, going to get colder after today . I made this grape vine Halloween wreath, I just used stuff I had around here, so not that fancy, but it looks good with my other Halloween decorations...hope you are all enjoying your day!

 

My man can sure build a fire! The moon is on the rise now..

Sunset and fire

 We've had a perfect Fall day out by the fire. The sun is setting pretty quickly now though.

 

"Old Lady by Fire"

 

More great Halloween movies I'm watching

Tonight's Halloween movie selections are Beetlejuice followed by the original Fright Night...I came across some candy corn today, but I passed it by because I would seriously eat every last piece in one sitting, so had a piece of cinnamon toast instead, what a bitter disappointment that was...have a good evening, see you all in the a.m.

 

Time for Halloween Movies

Time for Halloween movies. Just watched Practical Magic and now one of my favorites..Hocus Pocus! Have a great evening all! Now if I only had some candy corn!

 

Captain Kirk finally goes to space

 William Shatner, who is now in his 90's, finally got to go into space today, thanks to Jeff Besos Blue Horizons space craft.  It basically takes you out of earth's atmosphere into the dark of space and then after a few minutes, parachutes back to earth...Captain Kirk was brought to tears and after years of pretending to travel the universe in all of his movies and tv shows, it's for real this time...It was really exciting to watch!

Darren and Mindy visit

My son, Darren and daughter-in-law, Mindy came to visit today. It was so nice to see them and give them both a hug. They brought me these beautiful flowers and Mindy's homemade soaps, with quartz crystals and herbs. They went on vacation and went to a place where you can mine your own crystals, they found so many, they brought me a couple too! Thanks kids, love you both so much.

 

 

 Happy Birthday to my brothers Kim and Kent today!  Sounds like they are having a great visit in California celebrating their 70th!

Garret's first high school dance w/Lillyanna

This is so adorable, just had to share..my grandson, Garret went to his first high school dance last night with Lillyanna. Looks like they are both pretty happy and ready for a fun evening.

 

 

Hello cows, thanks for all the milk

We are at Rocky Road Dairy in Mulberry Grove picking up some raw unpasteurized, unhomoginized milk, straight from brown swiss cows. We have been drinking this for a while now. It is delicious! We checked out the new babies today, they have a black Angus calf also...beautiful day

 

Some hooters don't care who they keep awake

I was kept awake half the night by a hoot owl right outside my window...hoot hoot hoot...every 3 seconds! It's nice to hear him when it's evening when sitting outside, but not until 3:00 a.m. Me tired!

International Talk Like a Pirate day!

 It's International "Talk like a Pirate day"...so here's a few pictures from days of old, when we were pirates....Argggg

Hotdogs by the halloween lights

Bill's cookin' tonight! He looks orange because I put my Halloween lights up today!

 

An evening off

We finally got a night at home together, thanks to Steve Haltermanfor staying with mom!  We are out by the fire having a few beers and enjoying the evening.

 

Halloween past

 Someone posted this picture from Halloween from many, many years ago at World Color Press...those were the days!  I'm the one on pajamas and pony tails....

Sweet Tooth on Netflix

Is anyone watching the Netflix original series Sweet Tooth? I read today that it had 60 million accounts that tuned in, ...so I figured it must be good and after one episode I'm hooked...

Freaky hummingbird

It's been a quiet day around here. The sun has just set and yes, I am out here again. One of the humming birds just hovered in midair, so close to my face that I could feel the wind from his wings...glad I wear glasses...cause that was freaky...

 

Friendship

It's a beautiful morning! Having coffee in my favorite mug given to me by a dear friend. Hope you all have a great Saturday. However, let us not forget 9/11 and all who were lost on that day. Prayers for those families who still feel the pain and prayers for our country, we sure do need it!

 

Groovy!

My brother Kent and I in the hippy dippy room at GoGourmet in Salem today! Groovy!

 

A visit from the brothers

 Enjoyed having my brothers Kent and Milo over for tacos tonight. Glad to have some family time. I hope you all have a great holiday week end!

Enjoying this lovely evening in my hammock listening to the insects, but they are so dang loud! Then a train came down the tracks...even in the our little country town you can't catch a break! pretty soon a tree frog will fall on my head.

 

Creamy chicken noodle soup

I know it's a hot summer day, but this creamy chicken noodle soup sounded yummy.....and it is!

 

Froggy came a courtin'
