    slo’s THURSDAY 3/28 poll - Easter Lilies

    I love easter lilies but never bought them because... cats. Now that we don't have our boys any longer, I will buy a lily. My mom always planted the bulbs and they'd come up for years, but the ones I've planted haven't ever grown.

    Early fall road trip. Where to?

    It's fall; come to New England! Fly into Portland, Maine, and branch out from there. Bar Harbor is about a 3 hour drive, Boston is about 90-ish minutes. There's Salem, MA (DON"T stay in that area in October- hotel prices are stupid- but it's definitely an experience). You can go west into NH/VT...

    Dialysis and Disney

    You can rent a car from the Alamo at the Disney Car Care Center. You have to do this through Alamo's website, I believe; I've never seen it come up with using something like carrentalsavers. Alamo will pick up your mother, take her to their site to get the car, and when she returns the car...

    Great pool and breakfast

    I don't know anything about the place, but maybe DoubleTree Suites at Disney Springs? That's a pretty narrow price range, but if you joined Hilton Honors Program and were willing to pre-pay, you could do it, maybe. A month is a long time. You might find more availability if you moved every week...

    Help ordering crutches!

    My sister (58 yo) and has cerebral palsy; she uses crutches and a wheel chair for mobility. She needs to replace her crutches (the kind with metal cuffs around the forearm), but can't find what she needs as specs have changed. Apparently crutches have been streamlined and changed to be more...

    slo’s WEDNESDAY 3/27 poll - Weighted Blanket

    DD30 and the resident 7 year old each have one. They both say it helps them sleep. I tried DD's for watching TV one evening and quickly learned nope, not for me. I wonder if this is the adult version of swaddling?

    Three Things...Gratitude Thread

    Three things for which I am grateful: 1. That DH doesn't feel we are attached at the hip and have to do everything together. His work schedule has always been very busy and he's always worked more days, and had less flexibility in vacation time, than have I. I am grateful that he doesn't care...

    slo’s MONDAY 3/25 poll - What Type Of Morning Person Are You?

    I am somewhat more of a 2 than anything else. The alarm goes off at 5:50. DH gets up and heads to the bathroom, then goes downstairs to get us both a mug of coffee. By the time he comes back upstairs, I'm awake enough to be online and drink my coffee, hahaha! I'm not ever in a "don't speak to...

    Three Things...Gratitude Thread

    Disney things... Definitely the Candlelight Processional. I've seen it three times and it's so emotional for me. I have very few religious connections or beliefs anymore, but the CP brings my childhood rushing back at me. I just love it. Animal Kingdom Lodge- I love Jambo House. It's peaceful...

    What’s for Dinner Tonight?

    Supper tonight is leftovers. We have 4 homemade chicken tenders, maybe 2 servings of the veggie soup I made earlier in the week, about a cup of leftover spetzle, and DD made awesome curried meatballs last night and there are still plenty of them. Gonna make a pot of rice, heat up the spetzle...

    What bedroom features would you like to add?

    Decorating-wise, we need new carpeting. I'd also like to hang curtains. We've been here 20+ years and only have mini-blinds. I've bought curtain rods a couple of times, but never get around to buying curtains. Structurally- I'd replace the windows. They are casement windows, the kind where the...

    Three Things...Gratitude Thread

    Housemates: For 2 years I rented a 5 bedroom house with 4 of my closest friends, all of whom were guys. It was challenging at times- guys can be messy- but I had my own half-bath so it was OK. I learned a lot about living communally, without the drama I found when living with just women. We had...

    Easter Dinner

    No real traditions here as we are not at all religious, so no big family meal, just the 5 of us. We 'observe' the social aspects of the holiday, so the bunny will come and leave a basket for the 7yo. Not sure what dinner will be. So far the requests are homemade macaroni and cheese or a "nice...

    Three Things...Gratitude Thread

    Potter and Weasley- Brother kitties we had for 17 and 20 years, respectively. They were good kitties and I miss them both. Giraffe- I love giraffe. They are funny to watch sometimes, look like they are smiling simply, and they just make me feel peaceful inside. I also like seeing different...

    For those who take yearly trips..how many park days?

    We often only take a 5 day trip with days 1 and 5 as travel days. I'll either get a 3 day park ticket and skip one park, or a 2 day park hopper. Depends on how I'm feeling about the trip. If I have 2 day PHs, I'll do park day-day off-park day. It's enough for me, as I can't ride anything that...

    slo’s FRIDAY 3/22 poll - Seafood Tacos 🌮

    I love tacos and I love fish, but the idea of making a fish taco and then putting a slaw on top? Not so much. I have tried them on occasion and am just not a fan.

    Three Things...Gratitude Thread

    Corn tortillas, so I can make enchiladas! My yellow Scentsy nightlight. When it's on, the words "You Are My Sunshine" glow! Daffodils. My garden is full of them, as they naturalize pretty easily. They are about the only bulbs that the deer and chipmunks don't eat (either the flowers before they...

    What’s for Dinner Tonight?

    Recipe? Happens to me at Sam's All The Time. I justify it by realizing that if I stopped at McD's or wherever, I'd spend more money on food with lower nutrition, just for lunch! This way I have yummy chicken and leftovers, for less money!
