Happy new week, everyone! How are you all doing and what have you been up to? Share in the comments below! We're trying to keep busy but not too busy. Because you also have to make time to enjoy life, right? We did make time to get together with another couple on Saturday evening. We met up with them for coffee and tea, and ended up talking and laughing for over two hours. They are so much fun to be with!

Hey, has anyone been watching the new series "Wednesday" on Netflix? It's based upon the daughter from the Addams Family. We just wrapped it up a few days ago...and we really enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun and the acting was great. One of my favourite characters in the series is Thing. It's just a disembodied hand but the performance was very entertaining and quite delightful. My only complaint about the series is that there were only eight episodes in season 1, which is definitely not enough! I hope there are many more seasons up ahead.

That's all I have to say for now, so let's get to the funny stuff. Have a great week, everyone!

Hey, blogging friends! Happy Monday to you. How was your weekend? How are you doing? What's new with you? I hope life is treating you well. Share in the comments what you've been up to...and anything else that you want to mention.

Snow! We have snow on the ground and it's cold. Bleh... My apologies to all winter lovers. Well, not really. I can't apologize for a season that I'm not a big fan of. I can handle winter for about a month and that's it. But winters are much longer than that here. If we could, the most amazing man in the world and I would leave for a warmer climate during the coldest months of the year. But alas, we cannot, so we remain here.

Despite how windy and cold it was yesterday, we met up with a couple of friends for dinner at a restaurant nearby. I bundled up like I was heading to the arctic, because the older I get, the less I tolerate the cold. Must be my ancestral Mediterranean blood. I'm not built for this type of weather! Anyhow, it was worth it dealing with the cold. We had a great time.

Other than that, it's been pretty quiet. I've got a list of projects I'd like to tackle around the house...with little to no motivation to do them! But I'm going to kick myself in the rear and do them. What about you? Are you working on anything lately?

That's it for now. Let's get to the funny stuff. Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead!

Happy Monday, bloggers! How are you all doing? What's going on in your part of the world? What are you reading, watching and experiencing? Share in the comments. I'd love to know what you're up to.

I'm happily enjoying a quiet period right now. Today I intend to do nothing whatsoever. I did do some exercises in the morning and I'll be off to the shower as soon as I'm done here. But other than that, nothing. Zip. Zero. I want a day to kick back and unwind. We may go out for a coffee and tea date this evening but that's about it.

And we may play a video game together after we get back. The most amazing man in the world treated us to a PS4 Pro console recently, which he bought secondhand. Our last PlayStation is a PS2. Yeah...that far back. We're not big gamers but we dabble from time to time. Are any of you into playing video games? Anyhow, we're curious to see how far the gaming industry has gone in terms of graphics and all the rest.

Okay, that's enough of that. I'll get right to the funny stuff. Enjoy, laugh out loud and have an amazing week ahead!

Happy new week, blogging pals! I hope November is off to a great start for all of you. What's going on? What have you been up to? What's keeping you busy these days? We've continued to have some pretty amazing weather. I'm not sure how long it will last but we'll enjoy it while we have it. Yesterday we got our new furnace and hot water tank installed! Phew...what a relief. We don't have to worry about either one quitting during the winter. The company that serviced us comes highly recommended by local friends and with good reason. They did a great job and we will certainly recommend it to others. Our two cats were not quite as pleased. They stayed hidden throughout the whole ordeal, a little freaked out by all the different people going in and out of the house...and all the noise NOISE noise! They are happy things are back to normal and so are we. Because we also like things quiet.

I've got a very busy day ahead, so I'm going to get right to the funny stuff. Enjoy them, laugh out loud and have an amazing week ahead.

Hey, everyone! Happy Monday, happy last day of October, happy Halloween and Samhain blessings. That should just about cover it.

What are you all up to these days? What's keeping you busy? What are you reading, watching, doing, creating...? Busybodies want to know! Our home is keeping us busy, and we'll be installing a new furnace and hot water tank in the next couple of weeks. It's time. Both are getting on in years and we especially don't want the furnace failing during the winter. It can get mighty cold around here during that season.

It's been more or less quiet but we did enjoy a day trip to Ottawa last Tuesday, which is always a treat. We would love to live there but it's just not possible yet. Perhaps in the future, we'll get that done! We also got together with a couple on Saturday night where we shared drinks, laughter and fun. And tonight we'll be going out to dinner with another couple whose company we also enjoy. As introverts, we enjoy these small gatherings with good people.

I've got nothing else to add, so it's time for some funny stuff. Enjoy them and have a wonderful week ahead.

Happy Monday, blogging friends! What's going on with you? Share in the comments below. I'm going to keep this post short and sweet. I've got a busy day lined up and we also have our municipal elections to tend to. We'll be heading out to vote later this morning. When we're done, we'll go out for lunch. A little treat to pat ourselves on the back for being such responsible citizens. *snort* I haven't missed an election for many, many years. It's funny how I wouldn't even show up to vote in my younger years and now I never miss one. Our weather has been amazing! It's suddenly spring again. Yesterday, my friend and I met up in the morning for another marathon walk of about three hours. We dressed in layers because it was very cool at the beginning of our walk. By the time we finished, we had shed the extra layers and gone home wearing a t-shirt. T-shirt weather this late in October! That's how nice it's been. Hey, I'll take it. Okay, gotta go. I'm ready for my second cup of coffee, but most importantly, the blue jays have shown up and they're shrieking. They are ready for their morning peanuts. Enjoy the funnies and have a fabulous week!

I'm back with the funnies, lovely people. Happy Monday to all of you. How are you doing? What is going on with you? I've been busy, busy, busy... The garden is cleaned up and ready to rest and de-cluttering is going great. The weather has been pretty good so far, save for today when it's cool and rainy. I don't mind because it'll be a welcome day of rest. Yesterday was really nice, so my friend and I took a very long walk in the morning. I'm not sure how many more of these mornings we'll have because eventually it will get too cold to do that. But I'll take as many as we can get!

Speaking of the garden, there are still some plants putting on quite a show. I took some photos a few days ago and here they are:

Aren't they just spectacular! I love that we still have all this colour in the flower beds. Might as well enjoy it because it won't be long before all the plants call it quits.

I won't keep you much longer as you all have other things to do. Enjoy the funny stuff and have an amazing week!

Happy Thanksgiving

Wishing everyone a wonderful day. And a very Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians. I'll be back next week with the funnies! Have a great week, everyone.
