Monday News...Our weekend update.

Was suppose to be in Virginia Beach this weekend. However Hubby got very sick and daughter was just getting over a cold. So the vacation was postponed until a later date.

My daughter and I went out shopping on Saturday. We have a bookstore going out of business. She want Harry Potter books and I just went along. Oh but I just can't not look.
Love to cook and so many cookbooks. Don't think many people cook anymore here. Picked up a few books, one on Bread and some on Bunches and Breakfast. Also got ones on Ireland Food and finger foods. Pick a couple for the small kids, Critter and Alex. I do not think I will be going back to that store before they close, even with the discounted prices I spent too much!

Came home and in the mail was a movie I had been waiting for "Mars Needs Moms" ordered it in 3D. We have a 3D television, so I will like forward to seeing it. We watched a Harry Potter movie that evening. I made chocolate ice cream in my new kitchen gadget.

Sunday went to church. sat with my Sister-in-law and her hubby. Then we all got to see the kids and had lunch together. It was very nice.
Started to feel a little under the weather so I made chicken noddle soup. Watched the season finally of "Falling Sky" a TNT movie. Do not think it will be a continuing series.

Worked on my blogs over the weekend. Daughter asked why a haven't been posting.
So, I started to work on them again. I guess she looks forward to reading them.

So how was your weekend?

Fridays question? Vacation Spot?

This year we are planning to go to North Caroline for a August Vacation. I want to visit Kittty Hawk on the Outerbanks. I went there as a child and remember some of it. My Grandmother lived and grew up in the outerbanks of NC.

There are many places I enjoyed going to for vacations. to name a few;
Florida- Disney World
Bahamas on a Cruise ship
Los Vegas. Nevada.
Grand Canyon.
The South seas, Phuket Island.

Here's your question:

What are your favorite places to go on Vacation?

A weekend update...... a little late.

What a weekend I had! Daughter is down sick and so I have been home. We did not do much. Wanted to go to a movie at the theater, but her coughing stopped that idea. Hubby and I watched a DVD called " Secretariat". Based on a true story of a racing horse. We really enjoyed it.

The weather here was hot in the high 90's and 100's. I feel like we live in the midwest! Transported to Arizona or Nevada! So We did go swimming in the pool. The grass got mowed. I made some ice cream with my new ice cream maker. My new kitchen gadget, I haven't got one in a long time.

Payed attention to the decision on the Debt ceiling. You see it will affect us greatly. Hubby is retired military, he works for the government and I am a disable veteran so, as you can imagine it will stop all our income if they do not pass the bill. So, everything is on hold for us now. I think this is crazy. New folks in the government just do not see the impact this will cause, since it will not affect their pay. I think it should, since the people are paying them also. If there is no money to pay us then why should they get paid? They make way much for their seat then we do! This is not just about the foreign bills. I think this is going to be a different world with these politicians for the next few years. Change sometimes can be very hard.

We have tickets for a water park that are good for the next few months. I think we will be trying to use them. As well as I will try to find free things to do. That reminds me of my childhood. Mom use to find all kinds of things to do for free.

Today it is going to be a hot one again. So I think swimming is on the list of things to do. Stay cool if you can.
