Tuesdays are BACK!!!

Tuesdays are BACK and oh, my goodness!!!! I have had the very BEST day!!!

But before I go into all of that - let me tell about the visitor we had last night!

I heard some rustling in the kitchen over by the coffee pots and when I looked, a wee possum face was peering over Louis Dean's coffee pot looking right at me!!!

Well, this wasn't our FIRST possum visit ever, so I grabbed my iPad and took its picture!

THEN I called Louis Dean to help me get it OUT!!

He said, "Well, what do you expect, Linda? You leave the doors open so they think they are welcome to just walk right in!" We convinced him he would be more comfortable outside and finally got him OUT!!! His mama lives under the upper deck so he scurried off to find her!

I shut the door behind him!

NOW!!!! I can't tell you how excited I was to have a regular Tuesday with all its traditions!!!

I was SO excited I even selected the first show time for our movie today!

It was at 11:25 so we ate lunch at the movies!

$0.99 hot dogs and $4.69 Senior Combo = Win! WIN!!!

Ruth Ann and I both dressed up today!

The little guy selling the tickets told us how nice we looked!!

As senior citizen ladies, we love every compliment we can get!!!

Our featured presentation!!!

WHAT an excellent movie!!

It felt so good to be in the theater chomping on popcorn and eating our hot dogs!

After the movie - GOODWILL hunting!!

I bought everything in that basket for $26.00!!!

Here's my haul!!!!

This is the very NICEST wreath!!! I have already stored it safely away in the top of a closet.

By September I will have forgotten about it and then be so excited all over again!

I hit the jackpot on dishes today!

This Williams Sonoma Asparagus/dip dish was a great buy!

Prices were all 25% off the tags!

Senior Citizen's Discount!!

I scored on some small plates plus 3 white dinner plates!

I am loving mixing and matching my place settings these days!

The large platter at top left is from France.

I just fell in love with these hand painted glasses!!!

I came home, took pictures of all my treasures, put the dishes in the dishwasher, lit the candles and prepared for the very first real art class of 2016!

See that chandelier sitting back there on the sofa??

I bought that - brand new - for $7.50!!!

This will hang in our new gazebo - once we get it!!

The pretty glasses washed up (by hand!) beautifully!!!

I mixed a batch of cocktails to celebrate art class!!!

I used a lavender infused simple syrup, fresh mint and blackberries, a bottle of sparkling wine, and a splash of 7-Up!! YUM!!!

We had such good food tonight!

Assorted crackers.....

Crusty bread from ALDI, assorted cheese including pesto Gouda, and Amaretto Cake!

In addition, I served chicken salad and Sherry (my DIL) brought chicken nuggets (using real chicken!) and pulled pork, gourmet mac and cheese and a large container of Alfredo sauce to use tomorrow to make more mac/cheese for when the quads are here!

Paint, canvas, brushes and turp!

Love the way the house smells on art class night!

Cheers!

We actually sat outside on the deck to eat before we painted.

Louis Dean sat with us and as we looked up at the trees overhead, we saw the power pole swaying in the wind!!! That kind of scared me!!! I called the power company and they sent someone right out to check it. "It's not going anywhere!" he said!!
