LooeyVille @LooeyVille (194) • United States 10h

When's the last time you saw some good old fashioned folk dancing? On our Danube River cruise, we made this stop in Kalocsa, Hungary, where we saw the Puszta horses and Magyar cowboys. Additionally we stopped at a folk arts...

I went shopping today

snowy @snowy22315 (180943) • United States 25 Nov

Not to belabor the point, but I spent about 25.00 on cold supplies I got everything from chicken soup to zinc. This stupid virus isn/t going to ruin my trip, if I have anything to do with it. Worse comes to worse, I will wear a...

Maybe Rainy Monday

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (106489) • Marion, Ohio 25 Nov

Right now it's very blah looking but dry. But they are calling for rain this afternoon. But it's supposed to get warm for this time of year. If it warms up before raining I will clean in the chicken coop some. I can give Duke...

A Bargain Lunch Today

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (194) • United States 25 Nov

We had lunch as a fast casual fast food place today called Jaggers. It's a spin-off from Texas Roadhouse. They offer burgers, chicken, and shakes. We've been there a half dozen times in the past and have found the burgers to be...

Juliaacv We don't have that chain here in Canada. It is difficult for stores to stay open as alot of people shop online, and if an order doesn't allow for shipping to the store, there isn't the traffic that could lead to other purchases. I feel for the employees in...

People With Bad Attitudes Really Bug Me

celticeagle @celticeagle (167143) • Boise, Idaho 24 Nov

Pessimistic and arrogant. Even rather snide at times. Derogatory and even mean. I run into them on here. I think the people that I follow here are very nice and cordial. We seem to have quite a bit in common. I enjoy their posts...

Juliaacv I agree with you, I try my best to steer clear of those with these personality traits. I mean, we are all here to have fun, that should be at the front of our minds, and manners and letting someone else express their point of view go along with the fun.

Not Hard To Do

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (106489) • Marion, Ohio 24 Nov

It looked like it would be hard to put together. But it wasn't. I got this one finished today while I was hiding in my escape room. Which is wonderfully warm with the wall heater back there. I watched the first season of Zoo too....

We received our first Christmas card today. It’s quite small but made of recycled paper which has been embedded with Swan River daisy seeds. You soak the card then place in some earth, lightly cover it and keep it moist....

Juliaacv Don't put the envelopes in the mail to those in Canada. The Canada Post is in their second week of strike, and we have no pick ups, sorters, hand delivers or anyone to do our mail. I know that I am a few days early, but Happy Thanksgiving.

Juliaacv Food has risen straight across the board, anything you make to eat or buy premade, is going to cost more than it did even a few months ago. It's the way of the world these days.

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (194) • United States 24 Nov

This is what I had for brunch this morning. The liver and onions plate ($14) came with two sides. So naturally, with me being on the Carnivore Diet (meat diet), I asked for bacon and sausage as my two sides, which they happily...
