COLD DARK ROOM

I forgot to show you guys what Kerry came home from the store with yesterday...2 bucks at Acme which translates to " no one else bought them"! We all know what legit Oreos go for....for our friends across the pond....4-5Euro's for a same size box.

We had friends over for dinner and i was "out on the deck" burning a couple and Kerry gave me a nice cup of coffee and these. They have a layer of cinnamon added...they were "The best thing I'd ever had with coffee". Of courseci was high so there's that...all in fun..
Who knew they made these?

I don't think I've ever had an Oreo, of any sort, but I know the brand is sold in the shops.

We get older and we die...kinda how it goes but it's always disconcerting when someone passes in public. It reminds us that we really don't have a heck of a lot of time here.

Today's gripe;
I'm just more than a little upset and angry that I did all the right stuff to save my "jetpack money" to have it on hand when we got the jetpacks they promised us in the 60's, only to get here in 2025 money in hand....and there are no jetpacks! A close friend of mine just spent $174,000 on a car imported from Italy. I told him that he must have used his "jetpack money". LOL My buddy is my age and puts ALL his money into cars, it's his thing. I don't think I've ever even ridden in a 174K car! LOL

Kerry and I took the motorized kayaks out this morning and it was 62F...a bit cool but it warmed up over the next couple of hours. Our water is brackish, a mix of salt water from the bay and fresh river water. All the turtles we have in the creek are red ears or yellow belly's. No terrapins yet. I haven't seen the one that I transplanted here over the summer.

We still have hummingbirds coming in. The geese we saw a couple weeks ago in Maine are starting to arrive, the large grasses and ferns growing in the knoll are receding as Fall rolls in. Here it comes guys, Fall is on it's way!

Our autumn wet and windy weather started at the beginning of the month, but it's beautiful today and looks like we're in for a spell of dry but cool weather over the next week.

Jet packs?? I'm pretty glad we don't have those. I don't like people dropping in on me unexpectedly.

Tomorrow we are supposed to have a small storm. An orange warning for wind has been issued. That means wind gusts of 20 m/s (about 44.7 mph) or more and widespread wind damage, with some areas experiencing continuous damage. Locally, there is expected a need for clearing, long power outages, and disruptions to telecommunications.

It won't rain much though, and the temperatures for tomorrow are a high of 12 C (53,6 F) and a low of 6 C (42,8 F).

Hope your area doesn't suffer too much damage. Stay safe.

Cool as heck she's one of my favorite singers. She deserves a cookie named after her.

I remember Selena as a cute disney kid but i haven't followed her career.

I'm hoping for sunshine tomorrow. I have decided to sell one of my vintage bikes and want great pics. Pray for sun!

You do have a good point Lyn. Jetpacks would be great but we all see how people drive. . YIKES!

I don't think I've ever had an Oreo, of any sort, but I know the brand is sold in the shops.

To tell you the truth I haven't either but only because I don't think I would like them. My favorite sandwich cookie is the girl scout Savannah or what used to be called gouchos. But the chocolate Oreos with peanut butter filling might be nice.

I didn't see her as a Disney kid. I heard some of her music on an Iheart radio station and was introduced to her then.

Terima kasih Cathie

I went grocery shopping today and they had spices buy one get one free. I bought tumeric and curry so I'll be trying your suggestion and others. So thank you too. I get really bored with the same old recipes. And since we all have to decide what's for dinner every day for the rest of our lives we must spice it up or die in boredom.

Kerry and I have another thing. Today our big job is to remember to put out the trashcan. It's the closest either if us are to gainful employment! LMAO

I make Joe do that. Especially since I'm the Chief Cook and bottle washer.

I let my guard down around Kerry for a moment yesterday putting the kayaks in the water with predictable results. LOL

Dear Jeff,

I hope you're okay. Are you sure you don't need a doctor? I've just been told I need to replace a filling on Monday just when I thought I had the morning off!

Hoping my friends and relatives in Malaysia will be okay in the coming storm!

You're lucky to get an appointment so quickly. I think I've already told you about the 9 month wait my dentist offered me for a filling on the NHS. It's 2 months as a private patient.

With the new NHS changes coming up in Wales, all you'll be able to get are 2 yearly checkups so no prevention - just extractions.

It's been lovely here today and very warm in the sun, Lola even spent some time basking in a sheltered sunny spot, but out of it, it was pretty chilly. We have light winds coming from the north at the moment.
My hedgehog cams showed temps were down to 37F during the night, and I need my bed socks

 

[Lyn W]

Hoping my friends and relatives in Malaysia will be okay in the coming storm!

Yes I hope they are all safe. From what I saw on TV it looked horrendous in Taiwan.

They've replied saying that they're okay

PS: I have to have a filling on Monday
