October #1 to do list, fun with grands, a new house? Replies …….

Hello everyone 
First, here is my “hope to do” list for this week 

3 of our grands were here yesterday.  One of them has been wanting to make a decorated layer cake for the longest time so we made that happen.  
I made the cake and the frosting with kiddo-help.  Then 6 year old Jackson did most of the cake icing and all of the decorating 
He did decide frosting a cake is much harder than it looks on cooking shows.  
   

Jackson with his masterpiece ❤️ 

Cora is doing just fine and we love having her in our family. 
She doesn’t stay with us on weekdays anymore  but attends a very nice childcare.  

Our daughter and family are hoping to buy a bigger home.  I looked at one of them this weekend with them,  it’s an older home in an older neighborhood.  
The owners lived there for 60 years and were serious about having a pretty yard.  
There are 2 fish ponds in the backyard with living fish 
You’ll have to look close at the bottom photo but the little goldfish are swimming in there 

The hedge along the front needs trimmed but it looks like Christmas tree branches. I’ve never seen shrubs like this.  
It’s very pretty!  It’s a long row of hedges all along the length of the garage, maybe 4-5 feet tall.

More about the Gold Bond crepe erase lotion- it’s an excellent moisturizer and I use it anywhere I use lotion but I’ve noticed the most improvement  on my hands, arms and neck.  
It does NOT have that normal Gold Bond eucalyptus like scent at all. 

About the waffle weave towels- almost no lint compared to last new terry cloth towels we bought.  

About those big red books - they are old cast-off library books- bound Life magazine issues, mostly from the 1940s.  
They are so fun to read and very interesting- but- they are so big and heavy! 


It’s a beautiful day here in OK and it’s time for me to get busy

September #2 - some products I like and replies



I’ve tried a few new products that I really like and think they are worth sharing,  
We needed new bath towels and I bought waffle weave ones on Amazon.  We think they dry us off after showers just as well as the traditional thick terry cloth ones.  
The advantage is the waffle weave towels machine dry much quicker than thicker towels. 
I always cut tags off of new towels, pillows, etc.  Tags bug me 


I found mini Turkey pepperoni at our commissary with the shelf stable pepperoni.  
They are about the size of a dime and it’s so quick to sprinkle them onto a homemade pizza. 
 My granddaughter says they don’t pull off the toppings like biting into a big pepperoni. 
They taste really good too.  



This is  a new lotion I ordered from Amazon for about $10 a tube.  It has no scent and for me,  it did just what the package says it will do.  
  



Our weather is just starting to cool off a bit and I realized I have almost no cool weather clothing.  
So Saturday,  I ordered some clothes from JCPENNY, Walmart and DressBarn. 
Walmart is shipping my 4 pair of pants in 4 shipments.  I like the first pair that arrived , I don’t like the 2nd pair and I’m still waiting on the other 2. 
JCP shipped my entire order together.  It arrived today and I like all of them.  I liked their quick shipping and  prices too! 

The first navy piece is a cardigan and the last 2 tops are just plain v-neck tops with 3/4 sleeves.  
I ordered 3 nicer tops from DressBarn and they have been shipped together and should arrive end of this week.  




Last,  I’ll do some replies.  
William Durant? I had to look him up and I don’t think he’s anywhere on my bookshelf.
Dog training is a good idea but for now,  I’ll just play catch with Ducky in the backyard and will do my walks without Ducky.  He’s not a big dog but is very strong.  
I do know deep bruises and torn things can take a long time to heal.  We had a car accident a few years ago and my bruised sternum hurt for months.  
I am taking it easy and my husband is helping with things too.  

Thank you all for your comments ❤️ I missed this social part of blogging
