The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

IKR?! I got to working outside and was like, “wow, I don’t even need a jacket.”

After the next few days, this weatherll feel tropical. 😕
It's cold here, too. Not eastern US, polar vortex cold but cold for us. It got into the 20s last night. Everything was frosted over. This was the sunrise from my front window.

Yes, digital would be the best I assumed? There is a recipe thread over in the Playground run by Photogurl. She has a nice layout. I forgot to pm her though. My mother has a Betty Crocker cook book from the ‘60’s. When you pick it up, it weighs a ton…due to all the clippings of recipes she’s stuck in the pages! 😂

Cold and dreary here today. Must have rolled in overnight. We went to the State Park last night to stargaze (you can see Venus, Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter, but not Uranus) and it was clear as a bell. Not a cloud in the sky. Fitting as today is a funeral for a friend.

The MZ is dedicated to a gentle caring soul. Rest in Peace dear girl. Spread your wings in eternity. 🥲

I have a Betty Crocker cookbook! I got it as a wedding present (probably from my mom) as I didn't know how to cook when I married my 1st husband.

I hope your memories of your dear friend bring you comfort, H! 🫂❤️🫂
 
Morning all.

Missed out on the banter here last night. Ended up getting into the last couple seasons of Vikings on Netflix. Apparently they took a break in production and we moved and don't have cable/satellite. So missed the last two seasons. Playing catch up now...

It's a particularly lazy morning. It's 12F and snowing (big surprise).
This show is in my Netflix list but I haven't watched it yet. I've been watching Downton Abbey.
 
Lili..........hugs and kisses of the transatlantic kind as welcome back.....come and clit with me on the non coffee table and let's talk about what we have missed. Waggy tails from my boys as they want to lick you.
Greylag! I'm shocked! SHOCKED, I tell you at your message! 😲 This from our resident proper English Gentleman! 🤣🤣🤣

Oh, OK. Scoot over! Bring me those boys! I need a big puppy pile! 🐕🐕🐕

💋✨😘
 
I absolutely hate asking people for help all the time. It is annoying to me. Probably because it's just a reminder that I'm never going to be first consideration. I have to wait for people to do it when I ask. When I do it's always oh yeah sure no problem. But the gallery wall is not hung up ( It was a barter situation and I fulfilled my end) my back porch isn't fixed. And I didn't even say anything about that... they brought it to me and said they would do it, "it will be easy". I'm still waiting. How it makes me feel is a burden. For a lot of people in my life I am only considered when I can do something for them. And I'm sort of getting tired of it. It is a very lonely life because I have to set boundaries to protect myself.
 
Wat! Nice ass!
With that out of the way, got up early to take the girls to the movies today. Did I say early? Left the house at 0930, bought snacks at the Walmark (hillbilly around here for Walmart). Arrived at the mall just in time to buy tickets, drinks and popcorn. We had our choice of good seats and proceeded to set up in the powered recliners to enjoy the show when all of a sudden it gets real cold on the theater. So much so that I start fidgeting. While doing that through half the movie, I discovered a tiny little button under recliner controls. Turns out the seats are heated. Ok, ok, but I've never been to a theater that heated seats. Passed the info down the row to the rest of my brood and was the hero of the morning.
Got home in time to start thawing out burger meat for dinner. Burgers, brats, and dogs again.
I love my daughters and we are spending the rest of the night playing Roblox (I usually get my butt stomped btw).
Tomorrow: Payback! HOUSE CLEANING Muahhahaha!
*Sipping my toddy and clicking away.
Have a good night all!

UPDATE: Yep, they trounced me. Ganged up on me and wouldn't let me up. I don't know who taught them that ( I did.). Extra chores tomorrow for sure. 😈

Evening all. Hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. The attic cold snap has arrived. Snow last night and highs in the teens today. Lows below zero for the next few nights and we hay hit 10 on Monday. If you’re in parts of the country experiencing this please be safe. Leave the cabinet door under your sink open if you can. Hope to talk with you later this weekend. Night all.
