Football Begins

Hubby is home.  I'm extra happy because he was able to exit the 2 massive spiders from my garage.  I've been living in fear after seeing them hanging from the ceiling.  I noticed them loading my bag on Thursday morning ahead of the training class.  I used life coaching to chill the best I could -- I made some progress, but glad that's over.  He agreed they were huge.

Anyway ... enough scary talk ...

I had a very nice thing happen yesterday evening.  My neighbor phoned to report a rainbow.  I love rainbows and like to look for them when it's a mix of rain and sun.  The rain had passed, so I didn't even consider one.  It's nice to have neighbors who appreciate rainbows and want to share.  I don't know her well, but she "knew I'd want to see it."

By the time I went to get my phone
it was fading quickly -- but still the full spectrum.

Hubby brought home a lot of Belgium chocolate.  I ate too much (of course I did).  I'll try a few more pieces today and call it finished.  It's very rich and dairy heavy and totally delicious.

Our eldest is coming over to watch the Steelers game this afternoon (our DIL is out of town).  Then we're headed to dinner at our youngest and girlfriend's house.  We decided Ireland is not for them so switching up our spring vacation to Northern Italy and Switzerland.  It was their final call and it's a good decision all around.  Ireland is best for just the two of us -- probably for 2025.  Starting the planning over again.

Just in case you're curious -- Ireland was too much driving in a small car (youngest gets car sick), the rainy weather, the small towns might be boring to them, they don't love hiking on vacations and the food/drink was an issue with dietary restrictions.  The logistics were complicated too since we needed to return to Dublin to fly home.  It was doable, but not as enjoyable for them.  We want a fun vacation for everyone.

Have a good Sunday.  Later gators.
