I now do only inflatable, projector, and ground based decorations. No ladder, no strings of lights, no garland or other decorations wrapped around the front porch. This is our first 'sculpture', moved it to front. Still debating hanging this Not a fan of poking a hole in stucco trim, though Edited November 21, 2020 by John&LaLa 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that Bella is listed on the sign, but think she should get top billing. I'm thinking "Home of Bella" "Cared for by" "John and La La" "UGA" Oh well, at least she is ahead of Georgia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now keep in mind this woman Never says please and thank you!! So after worked I stopped at food store and picked her a fresh, not frozen, turkey with premade simply mashed potatoes and a jar of turkey gravy. Took it to her and she immediately screamed and hollered what the hell am I suppose to do with this. Its raw!!! I wanted a cooked one like the pictures in the store ad. She told me to return it and come back with a cooked one and demanded a refund. She didnt even pay for it!! She went onto to call me a worthless idiot blah blah blah. I came home with with the turkey and told my DH, her Son. I am done with her. He agreed! Thank god shes not coming to our house for thanksgiving this year!! Oh my, I'm so sorry, that's awful 😔😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted November 21, 2020 #2763 Share Posted November 21, 2020 John, I love your new house sign. 🙂 And the Bella Christmas "Statue" is adorable! You seem to be fitting in nicely to your new neighborhood! We just signed papers on the new custom cabinets, quartz top, sinks, etc. we are ordering. Getting to the last of this year's remodel....getting the bathroom done. After that, it's new carpet (bedroom and walk in closet), rip up carpet in the office (wood look tile) and get with designer for a real office set up...not the "garage sale, flea market" set up it is right now. Awful. 😜 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our state has gone to “red level” which means most surgeries are off until Covid numbers are better. This means that all of our planning and scheduling and preparing for Nates recovery are for naught. His back pain will continue for who knows how long 😞 He can’t take months off in the spring because that’s when business picks up. We also found out we didn’t get the house in Florida. They got another offer in that surpassed ours. I’m actually feeling ok about it. What is supposed to happen will happen, but still sad nonetheless. I ordered myself the Iphone 12 as a consolation prize. What a bummer, all around! My Nana was a firm believer and taught the rest of us to live life "if it was meant to happen, it will". Maybe Nate wasn't to get the back surgery for some reason, Maybe you weren't meant to buy that house as a better one will come available. I am sure it will all work out for the best. Hope you are having a great day today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted November 21, 2020 #2773 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) At dinner tonight at Sharon’s, my MIL’s. She asked us to get eggs from the neighbours in the way over. They have 35 plus new birds and none are laying yet. No eggs. 🤷♂️ And the Blue Jays have discovered that the feeders are out again. This guy was digging out sunflower seeds and then cracking them open. Edited November 21, 2020 by A&L_Ont 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to Italy many times (absolutely loved it, how can you not!). But I'd really love to visit Lebanon some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted November 21, 2020 #2775 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) I relocated the BBQ to it’s winter home in the garage, and replaced it with a snowman. In the spring it’s heat will melt this Frosty. I did some other outside stuff today but nothing exciting. Fuel conditioner into the tractors, skid steer, and diesel tanks. Put battery tenders on the trailer winches and parked them away in the barn. Not much left to do outdoors. Lisa was busy inside. She moved some of the furniture around a bit and the new pencil tree was erected. She did a great job. The “rest of Christmas” arrives next weekend.
