Technical Difficulties

I am not only tired, I have been having technical difficulties with my social media equipment aka laptop.  Maybe not as it could be the cause also of the operator being so tired?

Happy Happy 10th Birthday to our Granddaughter, Chloe today.  Since we were not going to see her today we had given her our gift this past Sunday before we left to come home.

We had gotten Chloe a book bag with an Apples to Apples Board game & a puzzle.  It was exactly what she had been hoping to get, the game that is, not the puzzle.  The puzzle will be probably be taken care of by the Master Puzzler, Aiden, and assistant, Briar.

Chloe also LOVES Dill Pickles, so when we had been out all together at Costco afterwards, Poppa Rob had bought her a huge jar.  She was one very happy 10 year old girl.

More on the Apples to Apples board game, should anyone be interested in purchasing for their children or grandchildren, can be found HERE.

How has Mercedes been doing the almost Year coming up since she has been the "top dog" with the family of blended seven?  We will let the photos tell all....

Yes there is LOTS of loving for Missy Mercedes from one or another at any given time.

I had been planning on blogging some photos of the "pre-wedding" however just not feeling too well this evening, as it has been one of those days.

It was Wiarton Wednesdays today in Wiarton.  Should you like to check it out this Summer, on a Wednesday of course, see the following savings provided by participating businesses:

Free Entertainment also in the Berford St. Parkette from 1 til 4 pm.  Bring along a lawn chair !

After having picked up the car from the garage where I had the summer tires and rims installed, I had to head into Owen Sound as my bluetooth had stopped working, and I needed a new one.  The Jabra Supreme's were on sale for about 1/2 the price.  For another $14.00 I got an unlimited guarantee on it.  It even covers replacement if the dog chews it up !  wish I would have had known about that guarantee 2 units before when Portia had chewed my 1st $99 head set (yes she is an expensive, high maintenance girl).

More on the Jabra Supreme Bluetooth HERE.

On the way back home from Owen Sound I was burning up the highway with my new car and its new tires.  The sunroof open with the wind blowing through and the sun blazing in the western skies got me back home safe and sound .....

PS:  I had the most wonderful compliment from my hubby last night when he said, "you don't have to dress up to look good". Can I say, "I LOVE my husband"? I sure can ... thank you Rob (Wayne Robert Roth) , I do LOVE YOU.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN !

Happy Halloween .... Pumpkins Up !

I LOVE Halloween so much I couldn't resist sharing so many Pumpkins.

For months I had been looking forward to heading South to spend Halloween night with the Grandchildren.  I was all showered and revved to go when Rob arrived back home from his daily morning run "sicker then a dog".  He was burning up and feeling totally dreadful.

I could not go and leave him alone feeling so sick.  I called the kids to tell them I wouldn't be down. We were all disappointed, but still understood and really wanted Rob feeling better.

After an hour or so of laying down Rob told me he was feeling much better and for me to go ahead down, but what he had done was tried lying to me as he knew how long I had been looking forward to Halloween with the kids.  I stayed home, and there will be other times. (don't say anything, but do you realize how miserable a sick MAN can be???).

Today I started Rob on something I have been taking for sometime.  Ground Flax Seeds.  I usually mix it in with my cereal, or more recently 2 tbsp. into a cup of low fat Yogurt.  The benefits of Ground Flaxseed are amazing, being a good source of Omega 3 and high in Fibre.  Not familiar with the benefits of Flaxseed? just *click* HERE & HERE to find out more.

Still, thanks to technology, I was still able to see the grandkids, or at least some of them as I haven't seen photos of Chase or Greyson posted yet.

Scary ..... Aiden, Josh, his friend, Briar, Chloe, and Connor.

Hopefully I will get more photos later on in the evening.  Halloween is the BESTEST !

The other day Rob picked up the 4 year old Whirlpool Fridge with bought to replace our 16 + year old Fridge (the freezer seal started going on it back awhile ago).  We got a great deal on this model...

....which is almost the same size as our old one.  Hopefully it will last us 10 Years, and the price was right at $160.00.  A "steal of a deal" in my eyes.

A couple of weeks ago Portia had chewed my very expensive Bluetooth Jabra that was to last me a very long time.  I did find another Bluetooth at an extremely low price, but I can not handle the ear bud in my ear.  I went online to Ebay and found the same model of Jabra I had, at a fraction of the price in the stores here.

I ordered it from Ebay and it had been delivered Priority Post within a week.  Really with its cost, shipping & customs it was less then 1/2 price.  Yes I am being more careful of putting it up when I am very very tired...

What a blustery Halloween evening it is going to be for the children out and about Trick or Treating.

The North East winds blew our Rocker right off the stoop, and this afternoon the flurries began.  

October is really going out with a "BLAST" !  I am thankful we are toasty warm inside with the wood stove fired up.

Maybe it is just as well I stayed home today with Rob, as it being month end I have billing to do tomorrow.  The never ending piles of Crabby Cabbie paperwork, Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard.
