I know everything is about the Super Bowl right now, but Valentine’s Day is next week. I was at Costco and saw these ravioli hearts. I loved them. They cook in 4 minutes, a lovely dinner ready so fast. PERFECT!
It’s not all about chocolates and roses, right. Look at these cute macarons.
So, while you are out shopping for Super Bowl snacks, you might want to add a Valentine purchase to your cart. Better to be ready, waiting for the last minute, it’s never a good idea.
Enjoy the weekend!
I’m a bit under the weather, it happens. Nowadays, if a friend sends a message, it’s always in a Text or Email.
Guess what though, this friend took time to send a card. It was so funny, it lifted my spirits.
So, here’s to taking time to send a greeting card to someone, I liked Becca Cahan’s humor. I’d like to see what other cards she’s made. Thoughtfulness does make a difference!
Last day of 2024!
Recently, I saw these shoes at the department store. I was brought back to DISCO days. So many great disco songs to choose from. How about this one… Disco Inferno!
Wishing you all a fun evening. Stay safe and dance the night way. Celebrate!
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025! 🎊🎉🍾🥂
People are doing their last minute shopping. I walked by a pet store and saw this huge unicorn. While I don’t have a pet, I think this would end up under the Christmas tree.
I was at Joann Fabric, they have a 70% off sale on Christmas items. If anyone needs a tree, you can still find one at a good price, fake, but that’s ok. I liked this little one.
I baked some anise biscotti. I haven’t baked cookies in years, it was fun. The house smelled good.
I found Italian Baci candies at Trader Joe’s, along with the yearly mint star cookies.
A friend sent me a Christmas present. So BIG, it really FEELS like Santa came down the chimney!!
Finally, I lit my Christmas Angel. She looks beautiful. Our Guardian Angels watch over us.
I wish you ALL a Merry Christmas… and a Happy Holiday!
I’m always amazed at what can be done with Legos. I saw this display in a toy store a month or so ago. Zoom in, there are a lot of legos in this display.
THEN, this weekend, I saw these Christmas LEGO® sets. Is it a sign, buy legos? Both of these LEGO® Christmas sets are wonderful. I love the reindeer and the sleigh, Santa with is list. Look at the Christmas tree, it has candles on it with heart ornaments.
Life is interesting, even as we grow older, we are still kids at heart!
Merry Christmas!
Do you know anyone who has a birthday on Halloween? I do!!
I once asked her if she got tired of Halloween colors / stuff. Nope, she still loves it.
So, Maura, in the spirit of Halloween and this picture. I hope you are stirring up a fantastic witches brew of some sort. It’s your special day!
Start celebrating. It’s your Birthday Eve!
HAPPY 🎃 Halloween 🎃 BIRTHDAY!!
I was at the store the other day. As I walked by the children’s section, I saw the legos. I always stop and see what they have. I fell in love with this owl, the book and that different animals can be made with the kit.
LEGO® had their Advent Calendars out too. They looked fun, but I don’t have any grandchildren yet.
The holidays are coming, I decided to look at their website, see what adult legos they have. Look at this, they have the Mona Lisa. What a great gold frame. There are so many great designs.
Here’s to feeling like a kid. Fond memories bring us back, don’t they, especially with holidays approaching!
Walking can be boring, but not this particular morning. A friend sent me this photo.
Heading to work, it looked like the birds were also having the early morning workday huddle!
Discussion – How to tackle customer food donations that day! There has to be a BETTER way, they nod!
Happy Fall!
Do you believe that seeing a feather has a spiritual meaning?
Here is why I thought this feather was interesting. There were no birds around. It’s a BIG feather. As I walked quickly by, I saw it out of the corner of my eye.
My thought was, “Did I just see a feather? Where is the bird?” I felt the urge to go back and look at it, but I didn’t have time. Later, I was still thinking of that feather.
The next morning, I was walking in the same area, rushing to work, when I saw the feather AGAIN. This time, the feather had moved, it wasn’t in its original spot. This time the feather was at the Stop sign, right at my feet, in front of me. NOW, I took notice.
I had this feeling I was meant to see this feather, it was in my path for a reason.
So, what do you think? Is there a meaning behind seeing a big feather like this, when no birds are around?
I meant to write this post on October 2nd, the Feast Day for Guardian Angels. I found this day interesting. I woke up with a sad feeling. It happens to all of us. Turn on the news and it’s “doom and gloom.”
On this particular morning, I knew I had a choice to make.
Be sad… OR… Be happy!
I’ve learned, our minds are powerful and we “own them.” It’s up to us to CHOOSE what we think about. It takes practice to change the direction of our minds, but it can be done!
It was early in the morning, I decided to walk and stop by church. Our church has a 30 min mass every day. At the steps of the church, I was greeted by happy school children heading in for mass. So sweet, hearing their cute little voices and the teacher instructing them.
When it was time for the Priest to speak, he said, “Today is a special day, it’s the Feast Day of our Guardian Angels.”
CHEERS from the children.
WOW – my own ears perked up.
There had just been a woman doing the reading. She had not done her homework and couldn’t pronounce many of the cities in the text. It was PAINFUL to listen to her. My mind drifted off, not uplifting at all.
Imagine my SURPRISE to learn that there was “no time” to feel sad. Instead, I needed to CELEBRATE my Guardian Angel. My heart grew big. I kidded MY ANGEL and said, “So, that’s why you wanted me to walk by church. To celebrate you! How clever!”
I always think of Clarence, the angel in the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life,” too, so cute.
As we head into the weekend, if you believe in guardian angels, you might want to THANK yours.
Look, I even saw this angel in a store this week. My Angel wants me to know she is grand and beautiful! Come on, you do have to chuckle. Perfect timing!
Have a wonderful Fall weekend! —> (You might spot your angel somewhere too.)
