I don't need to exercise after all the laughing that was had this weekend!!! My stomach hurts!!! Honestly! put thirteen women aged early thirties to early seventies in one magnificent mansion and you get crazy!!! Jeez we pinned all different shaped and coloured weenies on a hunk of a dude (like pin the tail on the donkey), we had a joke off, we had a swing a wiener on a string tied between our legs and try to catch it in our mouth, we played a very loud game with scratch and wins, we kareokied (can't spell it), danced, bellowed like an elephant, ate til we couldn't move and stuff I can't report. Oh, lots of drinking!!!
I remember not so long ago nobody took pics except me with my big old D90. Now everybody had their phones out and took pictures galore.
And the food was crazy good. Curries, lox, charcuterie, hot chilli dip, and the most amazing delicious homemade lasagna!!! And then there was home made sourdough, raison bread, roasted stuffed turkey and a myriad of h'or dorves (can't spell it). And so much more I can't possibly remember it all. Cakes cookies squares...you name it!
Kathy was sick and couldn't come. I was so sad about that...and so was everyone else. But...she sent my cooler I had to leave there at thanksgiving completely full to the top with absolutely delicious food. She sent her homemade beans and her curry soup...so amazing, and pickled beets plus a ton of other stuff. Like who does that when they are sick??? My sister...that's who!!!
The trip home was a bit sad and a bit trepidatious. I have been NOT looking forward to Ange moving out in June. It will just be bleak here without her. A lot of things would not be easy with her gone. Actually not just easy but other things as well that due to other people in the house I don't talk about. In other words I need help with stuff and due to being a hermit, she is the only person other than Monte I talk to now. But it turns out to certain things in her life, she isn't moving out after all. I am so relieved and happy! That was a real necessary boost! I really was dreading the day she would be gone.
We are going to continue to purge the house though, even if no moving is involved. I just can't live in a house with this much stuff. We are all diabetic, there is a type one, a type two and a pre=diabetic. And I do not have people for dinner anymore so I can get rid of 90% of my kitchen stuff. It takes up way way too much house space (and deck). I am sorely tempted at this point to rent one of those massive dumpsters...have them put it in my back driveway and we can just toss stuff over the deck railing. I have done this many a time when we were mortgage brokers and took loser's houses back and had to clean them out. It's actually a lot of fun...even the kids had fun helping. Actually I think I will price that out! Wow!! You just saw a good idea being born!
So today no pics. I haven't got them ready yet. So the next post will just be pics..in the next day or two. I just didn't want to go longer without a post.
Have a great day and TFL and TTYL
