Slow Rolling

Here's an update or two.

We ditched Fun Friday (even though I made the blondies - hah).  Why?  We decided we didn't feel like hanging out in a big group on a weekend when so many people we hang out with are away (Columbus day).  It's small talk, hard to hear, no where to sit and not THAT fun.  We'll go some months and skip others.  The point is to be social with our neighbor and we are -- in small groups, walking the dog, etc.  That's our style and it felt good to make that decision.

The hiking park was surprisingly substantial.  Lots of trails, hard hills, horses all over (Duke LOVED the smells).  We'll go back again for sure.  Only downside was no facilities.  Have to time that well or plan on a mother nature squat.





Then we went on a quest for our flu shots in the afternoon.  Grocery store offering $10 gift card so we tried our local one -- HOUR wait.  Really?  No thanks, so we drove to our old store.  As we were walking in a senior bus pulled up with 20 peeps going for flu shots and a gift card.  Beat the rush by minutes -- we power walked through the parking lot (!!)  Getting PAID to get a flu shot is the thing to do.  Me, hubby and all the senior citizens of the world decided on Flu Shot Friday.

Lunch and errands to finish out the day.  I got everything to make the chili for tomorrow instead of hitting the store today.  Awesome.  Hubby is playing tennis -- I'm slow rolling my morning and enjoying the quiet.

Tonight is the official birthday celebration for our DIL at the local German restaurant.  I'm excited to try it and it should be perfect weather to eat outside.

I made a list of fiction books which I'll look up more deets on before I choose -- stay tuned.  I googled and googled and googled.

Dog sitters are confirmed and that's a load off my mind.  Trip is coming together.  Early organization helps me more than anything else.

We should be hanging the ONLY curtains we're putting in the house this weekend (in our bedroom because we only have a shade on the window -- hubby's request for a shade).  And, then, hopefully the super duper crazy heavy mirror.  Trying to build these walls -- need to start somewhere.

Duke mangled his new Halloween toy in a perfect way ... made me laugh.  The eye is nowhere to be found -- oops?  I'm sure it will pass through with no issue.





I've slow rolled long enough (extra coffee, reading, doing nothing).  Time to get moving.  Have a great Saturday - later gators.
