Thought for the Day

 

 

 

 



Storms

We had an interesting yet kind of scary evening. 

There were storms up and down the East coast. 

Watches and warnings were going out like crazy.

Thankfully we didn't get it as bad as they were saying.

Here are some local pictures that people have shared.

I have never been through a tornado and

I am thankful that statement did not get changed last night. 

 

We are safe and sound this morning and the sun is shining. 

 

Tip of the Day

I for one love a bargain and after Christmas you can find some good ones.  I know that Christmas has long pasted however I came across some of these the other day. 

 

 

Since these were Christmas fragrances,

they were in the clearance section. 

 

We use them in the vehicles of course.

However the other day I found a new use for them.

 

Hang them on a door knob or cabinet. 

I put one on the door in one of our guest bedrooms and another one on a cabinet door in Hubby's bathroom.

Every time you open or close the door the fragrance fills the room.

 

Happy Monday!

Monday

Monday is here once again. 

 

Hubby and I had an enjoyable weekend. 

Sunday afternoon a friend invited us to try a new Thai restaurant.  It's called "Lanna." 
The food was very good! 
We will definitely go back!

 

Hubby and I both had the Bangkok Beef.

 

Our friend had the Crispy Duck which looked good too. 

(sorry no picture of his dish)

 

Later that afternoon Hubby and I enjoyed some ice cream

that we had bought on Saturday.

Turkey Hill Ice Cream is made a couple hours from where we live and it is really good.  They normally come out with seasonal flavors and the Key Lime Pie did not disappoint. 

 

Over the weekend we talked about some new projects to do around the house and I am really excited about them. 

 

This morning I awoke feeling refreshed, energized and

ready to start working on things.

For dinner tonight we had shrimp fajitas....
Korean style.

Sorry, no picture...we gobbled them up too fast.
We used Kimchee instead of salsa and I put rice in them too.
Ray said that I needed to make them again soon.

 

Happy Monday!

Sunshine

I wasn't sure what to title this post since I don't have anything specific to talk about...just some random thoughts. 

However the sun was finally shining today and

it was such a nice change that I thought I would go with it. 

 

 

The week of Easter was so busy.  I did a birthday cake for my Father-in-law, a gender reveal cake for my neighbor's sister, a few cupcakes, had dinner guests and a bunch of other things going on. 

 

 

 This week has been, well, blah.  The weather was rainy, cloudy and dreary.  The week in general was pretty much like that. 

 

 

They say, "April showers bring May flowers" and

"when it rains it pours." 

Both of those have rang true this week

both literally and figuratively. 

 

Some friends gave me flowers for Easter. 

They are so cheery. 

 

 

 I bought the matching flower pots at the dollar store.

 

 

As mentioned in past posts, we love kimchee and have been eating a lot of it lately.  Whether its in a bowl of shrimp and noodles....

 

 

or Korean beef.

 

 

We've been trying it in everything...even tacos the other night.

 

 

On another note, I've been having lessons in patience lately and

it isn't fun let me tell you!!

 

I told you this was just a bunch of random thoughts.

 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Happy Easter

 

 

Things have been a little crazy around here lately,

so we will catch up later.

 

For now, Happy Easter. 

Hope you have a great day.

Spring Has Sprung?

According to the calendar,

today is the first day of Spring.

 

 

The outdoors doesn't agree.

 

We awoke to snow this morning.

 

It is still coming down.

 

Warm weather will come eventually...hopefully.
