A memory....the Wild Bill's Concession days...

A memory for days of yore...

These were some really good times! Never thought we would own a concession trailer (or an ice cream shop, for that matter)...we sure had some interesting adventures as we traveled around selling food and lemon shake ups...sometimes life throws you a curve ball, and it turns out to be a blessing...

Book signing for "Bootlegger" and girls day out...

I went to a book signing at Country Creek Treasures today, this is the second book by local author Brian Alvis and photographer, Robbie Edwards entitled "Bootlegger" Like the first book "Shipwrecked" this book is unique in that the story is told with photographs, as well as the written word, a storybook for adults. They told me the story starts right in our own city of Salem on the courthouse lawn, can't wait to read it...then had lunch at Applebee's with some old friends, and met some new ones today. Applebee's has $1 drinks, this one is called "Vampire".. :)...You get free fangs! Then we went shopping, but avoided the downtown area because the Little Egypt Parade was going on in town...all in all, it was a really fun day..Time for some reading now..have a great evening! 

In my facebook memories today.....

My daughter couldn't find her broom..  :)

Keto pancakes...yum

Having breakfast outside this morning! Having my favorite keto pancake with blueberries and coffee.. gotta go, time to eat!

Ribbit....

Only a one more hot day to go before much cooler weather arrives, so figured I had better get some hammocking in today...so relaxing.

Ladies of '67 lunch

I had lunch with my ladies of '67 today at Pizza Man, we were a small group this time, but we had a good time..We had some visitors join us, see that cute little guy at the end of the table, he was such a joy to be around...we missed those that are ill, recovering from surgeries and traveling, but we know you were with us in spirit! I hope everyone has had a good TGIF day!

A cool evening, finally!

Only 63 degrees tonight, perfect for sitting by the fire, I had to put on a jacket, I love it! Going to get hot again though, but that's how we roll here in Illinois!

Some entertainment to celebrate "Talk Like A Pirate Day" 2019

Cat and Duck humor

Harvest moon at my house tonight

I just took this picture of the harvest moon, so bright and beautiful tonight.

orange creamcicle fat bombs

I made these sugar free dreamcicle fat bombs for a snack later. Sure, I could have used ice cubes trays instead of candy molds, but what fun would that be? I am "one" with the dreamcicles today!

Sometimes you just have to be bad..

Red Hat lunch at Mi Pueblo in Salem IL

I had lunch with my Red Hat sisters at Mi Pueblo today. Delicious food with some sweet ladies. Kathy Albert made us use our brains with some games, then me made a craft out of a roll of toilet paper and other items. That was fun! A couple of the ladies had fried ice cream, sure looked good (see photo) and we all got a cute owl cupcake. We had a great day, thanks again, Kathy for another great lunch with you as our hostess.

Decorated my steampunk hat for halloween!

Getting ready for Halloween!!! I had to re-decorate this hat though, it came with the goggles and a string that wouldn't fit through the eyelets.....😜

Froggy friend

Our little friend joined us this evening..

Ha ha

Not Yo Meatballs. :)

Nacho meatballs for supper tonight, they were yummy!

Charleton Heston "Soylent Green is people"...

I received a free sample from Amazon yesterday, it's called Soylent Squared..it's a little square, I mean tiny, meal replacement bar, that tastes like a Tootsie Roll (the chocolate one)...it's made with soy, vitamins, and probiotics....I live among the soy bean fields and I see what they do to them, so I don't eat soy ever, but I had to taste it, you know, to be fair. There are 3 flavors, Chocolate (brown), Salted Caramel (gold) and berry (Pink)...at least they had the sense to not make Soylent Green.. 😉..I know you Sci-fi "old" people understand what I'm talking about.

Sadly, so true...

House for sale...cheap...

This sign is actually a couple of blocks from my house....I marked out the phone number. Looks like you could get a really good deal on this house right now.

Monthly lunch with the ladies of '67

I had lunch with my Ladies of '67 at Mi Pueblo today. It's always a good time with these "old" friends. Thanks for all the laughs and hugs, ladies! We missed those that couldn't be with us today...see you all next time!
