Hi, my friends! I miss you all and shall return here much more next month or so. Stopped by to see if you remember me. lol Doing lots of work to our land and house: Humongous trees removed, additional outdoor lighting, meetings with several masons and carpenters for huge new patio and fire pit, painting our library, better known as our old family room, meeting with decorators, architects, etc. Don’t want to bore you to death. Preparing for my favorite holiday,Thanksgiving, next week. Oh, don’t ask about that! I just wanted to check in with you and to let you know I shall return. Hope you are all healthy and happy! Miss you and miss being here.

And then you'll skip over to FL for a couple months to recuperate, right?

@rebelann Just two weeks in January to test the waters. Hubs may want to return in February for a couple of months if the waters are to my satisfaction. Don’t want covid.

Thanks! It’s been very exciting planning another deck and things inside and outside the house, although very time consuming.

Way too much going on at once. Everything snowballs. No snow, yet. Not even a freeze. My flowers are still blooming and looking good, but that will certainly change soon. Thank you!

@LadyDuck Aww, thanks so much! My granddaughter has her huge exam next month for entrance to the special high schools in New York. Very stressful having to wait until March to see how she does and if she gets accepted. 1900 openings for over 25,000 applicants or so. Grandson came in 5th place as best goalie in ice hockey in the Northeast. My son and his girlfriend are doing fine and dandy. He just bought her a new car and she had a wonderful review at work. He received a very large bonus at work, so is very happy. However, he may leave and start his own business with a partner. My older son met with hundreds of lawyers from his firm globally and delivered a talk on risk management which was well received. DIL has a booming Doola business in NYC and spends much of her time in Manhattan and hates commuting. Hubs and I are dullards enjoying not doing anything. That’s it in a nutshell.

I don’t celebrate Christmas, so should have more time on my hands, providing all our work is completed. lol I will pop in when I can. MyLot takes up so much of my time I’m ashamed to say. Thanks so much and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, too.

You are blessed, having people doing the changes to your liking. Our home still isn't finished, but that's OK. Eventually, it will be. We are staying home for Thanksgiving, Jay already baked two pecan pies.(2?) And, a pumpkin pie for me!(tomorrow) All the rest, I will be preparing dinner.

A house is never finished lol. Hubs is very handy, but I don’t want him doing the work anymore. Besides, the work requires more than two people. I’m just tickled pink that what I suggest, he doesn’t complain. Whew! Oh, your pies sound awesome! Pecan is my favorite Happy Thanksgiving to you and Jay and your family!

@DianneN Jay does wood working as a hobby. He has been doing it since high school days. There's always a project going on, it's something he loves doing. I'm glad he didn't bake the pumpkin pie, it would be all gone before Thanksgiving! lol

Oh! Oh! Oh! Too much of a coincidence!!!! You've been gone so long that I was thinking about calling you today! So glad you decided to stop by. Sounds like there's a ton of stuff going on at your house. We ordered a standby generator which will be delivered some time in January. AND we sold the other house!!! Closing should be on the 23rd. Yay! Stay in touch...you are missed!

Hate being away, but I swear I have zero time, except for this afternoon. lol Yes, lots going on here, and hubs hasn’t put his foot down, yet, so I’m on a roll. Such fabulous news from you! I’m so happy for you. YAY, finally!

Hi, back. If you wrote that post, no one would answer Thank you! I will pop by when I have a moment to breathe. Doing too much all at once. I think two weeks in Florida will do me good after I clean the condo from top to bottom. Can you imagine the dust?

@NJChicaa As hubs says, screw the residency thing. We won’t live there for the winter until covid improves. Hubs does want to return in February until May, but not until I see what’s what in January.
