💕The one where K. and K. got married💕

 

Our Granddaughter wore the necklace, which my husband gave to me, to wear, on our wedding day, way back in 1958.

I may be prejudiced but, isn't she beautiful?

Her hair was like "out of Faerie Land"...

The way he looks at her....

With her beautiful Mom...

With her handsome Dad, our son.

And another with her Dad.

And we are all so happy!  They are both beautiful, handsome, and great people.

And....  The Bride and Groom...  With us.

🎄🎄Monday🎄🎄

Very cold last night....   Clear... so any daytime heat just wicked up into the sky...  The bird bath was frozen...

Don't you love these kinds of illustrations?  Snow on rooftops and golden light glowing in many windows?  😊

Made an "Impossible Pie" for dinner last night, and the rest will be dinner tonight.  I love meals in one dish, which make enough for 2 meals.  I really should look up a lot of recipes, for such.  If you have any suggestions for me, I would love to hear them!!!!!

Got something done and "off our plate," today!!!!  Yesssssssssssss!!!!  If we could drink, we would be having Champagne tonight, instead of non-alcoholic Eggnog.  🍷

Did you ever watch the movie "Michael"??? 

 

It's fun and I was so happy to find it, on one of our streaming channels.  The first part kind of drags, but it really picks up, after Jean Stapleton's character dies.  ~~~~  

It is *cheeky*, of course.  😉

.

Both Sides...

 Not having grown up with it, I do not fully understand Royalty.

 

But I can enjoy reading about what the Royals, of different countries, are doing.  A safe hobby...  😊

And I certainly can appreciate people, doing their JOB, whatever it may be. 

And doing it well, without complaints.

 

 

As Prince William and Princess Catherine do.

(Prince William; "What is this thing and what do you do with it.")  😄

What I do not appreciate is Royals, wanting the perks of Royalty, such as living in a mansion with nanny for children, and paid people, taking care of everything, and major security, and titles, etc.

 

But not doing any Royal Duties.  Spending their time, moaning and crying, about all the suffering they have endured...   And blaming everyone but themselves, for everything.  (Please note her crying 😢, with an expensive Hermes rug on her lounge.😒 ) 

 

It would seem that 40 year old people should spend their time, doing something, other than....  Making $$$$$$$ off of television and a book....   Consisting of how other people have wronged them...   And how fate has wronged them....  And how everyone else is to blame for all their woes.

🎄🔔🎄And on the 1st day of Dec.🎄🔔🎄

Isn't that the sweetest illustration.....  💕  She is so lovely and happy, and he is so handsome and smitten...  💕

I actually found Lactaid Eggnog!!!!!  How about that???  I get regular non alcoholic Eggnog for him, and have a sip.  It's delicious, which I never realized for years!!!

  So now, I can enjoy a small glass of it myself, without the regular Lactose Intolerance worry.  Actually, I still take a Dairy Relief tablet, just in case, there isn't enough of it, in Lactaid products.

Was able to get a Balsam wreath with red bow, where I pick up my groceries.  So at least, the front door looks nice.  Hope next door sickness has subsided by the weekend, and one of the Grands can bring our tree down.  And I need to get the mantle decorations down.

We went for a late lunch, at the little West Side neighborhood Bar and Grill, recently.  We were surprised to have only 1 parking place left!!!  When we got in, we realized why it was packed!!!!  The Iran/USA soccer (football, outside the US) game was on!!!   They have tv sets (for sports) all along the walls, and the game was on the HUGE one.  

The Bar was full...  The Grill was full...   Watching the game, while eating and drinking...  Some were VERY enthusiastic!   Chants of "USA"  "USA"  "USA"   It was so much fun!!!

When the game was over, and won...  The place cleared out.  -grin-

It turned very cold and windy and we had snow showers earlier.  Perfect for the first day of December.

 

~~~

 

Love....  Togetherness...  Perfection...

 

We love William and Catherine!!!!

Today's Royalty can carry their own umbrellas.

It's now official!!!!  Flare bottom pants are back in style!

Of course, not all women will look as gorgeous in them, as Princess Catherine.  😏 

Oh and look!!!!!  His sweater matches the color of her pants suit!!!!!!   💗

🎄Creeping toward getting rid of....🎄

Our older son got us a "Roku" Streaming Stick, and set it up on our tv.   It is wonderful!!!!!!   It has solved the various issues we had, with just cable, and the new smart tv.  

In a month, when I'm sure all is working well for the long term, I will take back our Cable box, to Cable store, and stop paying for that.   We still have Cable, for an upper tier, but receiving it, via our wi-fi modem.  (Soooo, basically, we have "cut the cord.")

I will begin writing down the only Cable channels we regularly watch.  Check them against the lowest (least expensive) Cable Tier...  Possibly switch to that.

We signed up for more streaming services.  So we now have *zillions* of things to watch, with just streaming!!!! 

 

And of course,

we can cancel any of them, at any time.

We are *creeping* toward getting rid of Cable Tv.  😏

🔥🌲📕Already turning...🔥🌲📕

Per usual, I'm ready to turn the calendar page, even before a Holiday is over.  😊   So my Header changed, the morning of Thanksgiving.  

 

My mind turns to the coming season of snow and snuggling inside.  

Nature is very dull at the end of November.   We need a bit of snow, to perk the outdoors up.   Well, up in the North, that is.

And definitely need some whimsey!!!   A LOT of WHIMSEY!!!!
