Happy Saturday, everyone! It's an absolutely beautiful day here. We'll have to find some reason to get outside for a while to enjoy it.
While G&E were here yesterday, Gary decided that they, and their sons, are coming HERE the day after Thanksgiving to finish off leftovers. There is no way what we have leftover would be enough to feed them, especially the boys. I need to send Bert to Walley World to buy a canned ham. I'll Virginia it with cloves, pineapple and a mustard sauced bake. Hopefully, a 5 pounder will be enough, but Bert will get a second one, just in case. Then between turkey leftovers and ham leftovers, I shouldn't have to cook again for the better part of a week!!
Dave - Smart thinking getting a grab bar. Steps can be so dangerous. That's why I'm so glad we live in a one story house with just a small step from the outside into the house. I cannot do any steps any longer. Found that out a few years ago getting on a shuttle bus where I fell twice on the 3 steps! No more steps for us.
Bill - Glad there was no damage to the house you are renting for the winter. Nicole came in right by Vero Beach, so the owner was very lucky to not have any damage. Sad to hear that the ones you stayed at in Ft. Myers did sustain damage, especially the tree on the car & golf cart. That's going to get expensive to fix.
Nancy - No fog here. Did you hear the sonic boom this morning? I understand it was some super secret rocket (?) returning to earth after 2 years. I heard it while I was still in bed and thought someone had banged something outside. It was very loud here.
Lee - A belated Happy Remembrance Day to you and Lu-Ann. I don't think they do the poppies any longer. Weren't they sold for Memorial Day. At least here they were, but you don't see them being sold on street corners any longer. Years ago, everyone would have one hanging from the car's rearview mirror. Another custom gone.
Kathie - Glad there were lots of free perks for vets in your area. When I commented on Nextdoor about the Grille doing nothing for vets, I had people ready to bite my head off! I swear they were all people who never had anyone in the military. One person even claimed that everything had gotten too expensive and that restaurants couldn't afford to give anything away. I guess they didn't see the long list of places that were doing something for veterans.
Bill - How's the weather up by you? Has Nicole come to visit yet?
Our TV news programs are still showing the dozens of places on the ocean that are no longer safe to enter or have already collapsed. So sad to see and each picture seems to be even worse.
Not a lot on tap for today. We still have the stew from Missy, so that will get consumed today along with the leftover ribs I made the other day. Not having to cook will leave lots of time to watch the Gator game this afternoon!
Time now for a cup of coffee and to read the newspaper which is so depressing. Aside from hurricane damage, I am so sick of seeing DeathSantis' grinning face all over the place! He makes me sick!!
Have a fantastic Saturday, everyone!
