Granddaughter has recovered, and she was off for a weekend of ice skating. Daughter still has a long road ahead of her. I will be driving her to her weekly treatment tomorrow. I have been a little behind, because I slept most of Saturday. Susan woke me up around 1 a.m. Friday night/Saturday morning, because she was having symptoms of a heart attack. So off we went to spend the night at the ER. Lots of tests….heart monitor, x-rays, blood work, etc. Thankfully it was not a heart attack, but likely related to stress. Anyhow, we both slept a lot once we finally got home. The ER staff took care of her right away, even though there were way more people than I thought should be there in the middle of the night.

I would take your 24°C day over our 26°F day this morning, with a feels like 16°F. Our heater got it up to 50° in the gazebo, which made it nice for a soak in the hot tub.

Have a great cruise. That was nice of your boss to arrange a gift for you.

Have you ever done Le Petit Chef before? We enjoyed it the one time we did it. It was a very interesting presentation, but it was probably a one and done for us.

It can sometimes send you down those rabbit holes, like this one.

But I say if it gets near the end of the year, do it and get that tax deduction. But, then again, that would be close to 42 weeks.

I tend to agree with that. There was a gentleman that people were trying to contact on CC earlier this year, but he hadn’t posted in about 5 or 6 years, and emails were not answered. Who knows what happened to him. He was a model ship builder, and he kept a thread going for about 5 years, as he detailed his building of a remote control, Voyager of the Seas. His workmanship and attention to detail was stunning. I think a couple on here followed his work back then. If you have never seen that thread, it is still a fascinating one to still read.

Sometimes, things may not translate well. Evidently, I have called my daughter-in-law’s mother both a newspaper and a horse. At least they thought it was funny. 😁

Happy anniversary.

+1 and we need a sad face 😞 for that blowing snow video.

My son has one in their master bath. Heated seat, with bidet functions. I must admit, I have never tried it, but he swears by it.

I am not really sure how long it takes to warm them. We usually put the towels in when we get in the hot tub, and an hour later, when we get out, they are nice and warm.

We have a Zentoes warmer that our daughter bought us last Christmas. We use it to warm the towels when we use our hot tub. It holds two large beach towels, or a towel and a robe. We like having a warm towel when we get out. It does have an automatic shut off after an hour. I did see this model is currently unavailable on Amazon, but we have been happy with ours, so far.

It was 50° with heavy rain when I got up this morning. It is supposed to turn to snow this afternoon. The first thing we did this morning was to go to the school, and drop off a large box of new toys for Angel Tree. It is sad, that many times, these are the only things some kids get for Christmas.

Debbie, I was sorry to read this about Eric’s mom.

Something tells me you may get a new favorite on your cruise going to Aruba and Curaçao. Those have become our new favorites.

I think their itinerary has them at Hilo tomorrow. When they are in Hilo and looking inland, Mauna Kea is to the right, and Mauna Loa (the one erupting) is to the the left. If I recall the area correctly, any flow from Mauna Loa would go toward the Kona side of the island. I think they port at the Kona side on Wednesday..

I think they don’t get to the Big Island until tomorrow. That is where the current eruption is at. An active volcano report would be awesome.

That is a new set that hasn’t been put together yet. I think it will stay assembled. That gives us an excuse to get a different one for next year. He just turned 10.

Since you can’t spend the entire day, entering grandkids with Legos, we moved on to games and artistic endeavors. I have been really impressed with how my grandson has developed his artistic abilities. I really liked this one he did. I think I will caption it….. The look you get when you score an $18 drink package!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

We are watching our grandkids at their house today. We started putting together the Lego gingerbread house. Ricky tried to fit in the box, but it wasn’t quite big enough. So he decided to just lay on it. I guess it is break time for a rub.

She is feeling better, thanks. That one was a pastrami and cheese. All their sandwiches are loaded with slaw, fries and tomatoes. Very good.

Lunch today. Since our son-in-law went to the Cleveland game, we took our daughter and grandkids out to lunch. The hibachi wasn’t open early, so grandson said he wanted Primanti Brothers. Our grandson has a ton of shoes, and is always looking for the latest, statement pair. So, of course, we bought him some nice bright yellow ones today. 🤣

That looks like the International Market Place. I always liked the original, before they put in all the high end shops.

And another Elf I am watching it now.
