Stuff!

Yesterday we joined Costco...something that we said we would never do! We did it because Lucy has allergies/asthma and she needed an inhaler...OMG...the same kind that people use...her inhaler was $200.00...OMG...but less at Costco so...off we went.
Oh...and a cat not only has an inhaler but you have to buy something called a spacer...so her sweet little nose and mouth rest on this sort of mask and you spray the inhaler into that and hold her for 10 counts while she breathes 10 times! OMG...

I watched a youtube video about it and tested the spacer/inhaler thing on me and then Lucy but she would not let us hold her for ten counts and we all freaked out. The video made it look so easy! Plus she is too smart...she has a 6th sense for when I am about to do something to her and runs! My sweet girl has a cough!




We shall see how it goes today...lol...

Costco was fun! We are people who normally buy one thing at a time...but now we are the proud owners of three bottles of catsup, two bottles of Worcestershire Sauce, two huge boxes of Cheerios, two giant bottles of Listerine, ten toothbrushes, four tubes of toothpaste, two massive jars of grey poupon, eight tricolored peppers, salad for about four dinners, teeny tiny little cucumbers...but a lot of them...oh my...next time I will make a list! Oh...and one giant jar of imported Castellano green olives...kind of scary...I hope I remember where I put everything!


Finishing up this...so good! Did you figure out that Scarlet wears a red hoodie, has a grandmother and knows someone named Wolf! Lol!



Happy Tuesday! It's snowing...lightly...and I am off to get a pedicure!

Sunday!

We are doing some serious unwinding this weekend...Den is taking all of next week off and we are going to relax...he has been gone so much that he just wants to be home...to try to get back that normal feeling. We both so much want normal...no more power outages, no more snow storms and we want everyone we know to stay healthy...sigh! Including us! And kitties! We are going to drive to Delaware...to just check out some houses...I do so love this house! We think it's on the bay...hopefully with some water views...we shall see.









Unfortunately we spent part of yesterday watching this weird series of shows called Food Paradise on the a Travel Channel. Every show highlights a different food and none of these foods are particularly healthy. We were both really affected by...unfortunately...the hot dog show. Oh my!






















We were craving them! So...we had a Jake's hotdog for lunch! Normally we only eat nitrate sulphite free anything...these were so delicious but I am sure that nitrates as well as sulphites are serging through our bodies...probably not doing anything good, either. Plus we had a malted with them...I had chocolate and Den had cherry vanilla...
But they were Junior sized...whew!


Reading this...



And hopefully this right after it...I loved Cinder so much and these are the next two in The Lunar Chronicles...I seriously love The Lunar Chronicles!



Off to read!

A Thoughtful Saturday...

Don't you think there are certain days when you just miss people? Friends, family, places that you left behind or that left you behind? We have had a grueling few weeks...when Den's dad died...memories of my mom and dad and his mom...just seemed to surface. Den talked to his dad a few times a week...one of the worst things about losing aging parents is that you no longer have them to call...there is no need for the check up check in call...so sad...

This is my remembering day...my dad...fisherman, gardener, animal lover...he would do anything to win over Lucy who always only wanted my mom...



My mom...gentle, sweet, funny, fussy...I can still remember how good the sheets in my room smelled...


Den's mom and dad...social, sweet, travelers. Den's mom was an amazing cook...his dad loved deals...the art of the deal was his thing.


The men...helping their dad when he needed them.


My dad...he always told me I was his first love...and he is mine forever.


Peace!
