Midway Trailer #1 (2019) | Movieclips Trailers

We decided to take in a Sunday matinee where our lunch would be gourmet H A M B A R G E R S with French Fries dipped in catsup.  Sipped on a Diet Root Beer as the previews flashed on the huge screen.  Saturday night I watched the trailers on the computer about MIDWAY.  Thought this was a worthwhile movie to see so Hubby bought the tickets online and we had a DATE.

ACTION packed with outstanding cinematography.  If we had watched it on the IMAX screen, I'm not sure I could have stood it.  I know it's a movie, but it stirred thought.

I'd like to see it again sooooo....that might happen.  Based on the bombing of Pearl Harbor and what happened next.  There was little foul language or sex scenes.  Twas a very good movie with a meaning.  Veterans Day is here and we have much to be THANKFUL for.  MUCH.  

Veteran Day thoughts.......

Afterwards, we stopped by Walmarts to pick up a few items.  Gosh, it's easy to spend money.  

The drive HOME was pleasant.  Left over Lasagna for supper.  Boiled some eggs for deviled eggs that I'll fix later today.  Having company in for LUNCH.  Just about ready.  Using paper products and throw away cups.

Relish tray of Baby Dill Pickles and Black Olives

Deviled Eggs

Turkey Breast

Apple Salad with Walnuts

Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

Dressing

Green Beans

Hawaiian Dinner Rolls with Butter

Apple Pie

Pumpkin Pie with Whipped Cream

Iced Tea

Coffee with Creamer

Hopefully everything will turn out super good and tasty.  Being FAMILY will help.

Freedom isn't free.  Many to THANK for living in the United States of AMERICA.  

Many,

GOT BIT BY THE CHRISTMAS BUG...oh my.

WHAT A WEEK.  I did get BIT with the CHRISTMAS BUG this week.  I still am enjoying the AUTUMN COLORS and decorations in my HOME sooooooooo I will not be decorating for the CHRISTMAS SEASON UNTIL AFTER THANKSGIVING DAY.

I don't want to rush it.  When I drove through the CITY PARK, they had started decorating for CHRISTMAS.  That's when it hit me....the CHRISTMAS DECORATiNG BUG.  I couldn't shake it off.  HOhoHO.  In the dark of the evening I went driving as well and saw some peeps with CHRISTMAS TREES already lit in their Living rooms.  Pretty but not ready to do this just yet.  I'm sure all have their reasons for putting CHRISTMAS TREES up before THANKSGIVING.  Like family coming in for THANKSGIVING and we'll celebrate CHRISTMAS early type of reasons.

HUBBY visited with a representative this past week to find out more info about RETIREMENT that is approaching in DECEMBER.  A BIG CHANGE.  We've had them so I know how that goes.  Will be praying and reading.  Taking walks if my feet heal up.  Riding a stationary bike.  Taking vitamins, minerals and enzymes.  Eating more vegetables and willingly going more organic.  Changes.  May have to go back to brewing coffee in a percolator.  The expense of this is better than coffee pods.  I could make my own coffee pods.  Now that's a thought and a half.

AS HE TALKED TO THE REP I was sitting in a dental chair getting my teeth cleaned.  Dentist appointment went alright, but heck it hurt.  

Whenever I get my teeth cleaned I feel like the hygienist danced with boots on in my mouth.  SHE HAD A RODEO.  She didn't scrap as hard and long this go round where my jaw went out only 5 times verses 20 like the last time I had this done.  



My dentist retired in July and I miss him already yet the new dentist was very gentle when examining my teeth.  Found a cavity which will need filled, but he may have to take the CROWN OFF and if this happens a different CROWN will have to be made, etc.  I'm thinking that's another thousand dollars cha-ching.  Not too happy about that.  

I still owe them $300 from this year.  The medical bills are piling up and I HATE THAT.  With insurance we still have high medical bills.  Insurance will change in 2020 as my dear Husband is retiring.    

I have a coffee date with my HUBBY later and will do a little shopping!!!  

YESTERDAY, I did stop by the THRIFT SHOPPE.  I bought the neatest book for little of nothing called THE SPARKLE BOX.  Think I'll post about it later.

Earlier TODAY I was polishing some silver-plated chargers I purchased last week.  I dusted the dining room chairs and the exposed wood on the floor.  Ran the vac across the area rug.  Prepping for a Veterans Day MEAL for FAMILY on MONDAY.  FLOOR was filthy and need of attention very badly.  Yesterday I bought some special dust clothes as my sock collection is depleted.  Socks for dusting is what I usually use to capture the DUST BUNNIES.  This week the special clothes are getting used.  

I'll clean on the main floor of our HOME before Veterans Day.  After Veterans Day, I'll venture upstairs to clean.  Will need to get GUEST ROOMS cleaned before the month is out as we are fortunate to have family coming to visit.  I like having a clean and tidy house. 

It's just one of those thangs.

Veterans Day Meal will be:  Olives and miniature pickles for the relish tray, cranberry sauce, turkey breast, dressing, mashed potatoes with turkey gravy, green beans, Hawaiian rolls with real butter, pumpkin pie with whipped cream for dessert.  Coffee and Iced Tea.  Should fill us up!  Will use throw away plates and napkins for easier clean-up.  Will use actual metal utensils and glass beverage glasses.

We are so very fortunate to live in the United States of AMERICA. So blessed.  Very BLESSED.  

BLESSED and THANKFUL for STAY AT HOME LIFE.  Life in the USA.  Small Town Living.  HUSBAND and FAMILY.  Roof over our heads.  Utilities.  Clothing.  Food.  Choices.  Salvation through CHRIST.  Health.  Wealth and well being.



This week-end the bed sheets WILL get washed, dried and bed remade with CLEAN sheets.  Dusting and vacuuming the rooms will continue and the toilet will get cleaned.  HAIR APPOINTMENT with self.  My intentions are good.  Lord, please please BLESS this endeavor.     

Be REAL because you are a blessing,
