Random soup

 


  Good morning!



 

This was supposed to be a Foodie Friday ... or at least Friday Fotos. 
The next thing you know, it's Saturday.   And Friday's supper wound up being a jolly bowl of popcorn.

So, I'm over here with a kettle-full of nothing particularly fascinating, ..... but y'all know that's not likely to stop me.



How about a platter of random thoughts?  


So pleased to have aced my 6-month eye appointment yesterday.  That is, until I had to open my mouth and asked the doc about the possibility of having a Lasik procedure.  His expression looked like I'd sprouted a second head, as he walked out the door, "You know, that would cancel your implant.  You could read but would need glasses for driving."

No, I didn't know.  Wish someone would publish a medical primer, "?'s for Dummies."  



Finally, the specialist's office called!  Mind you, it took my primary's office stepping in on my behalf, but that's another story for another day.  (I need to send that lady a cookie bouquet!)

I'm not thrilled at having to wait until the 25th to see him, but that's the way it goes.



Is anyone else watching The Golden Bachelor?   Some of my long-time pals may remember when I floated the idea for that Bachelor spin-off back in 2012!

I hadn't really expected to be sucked in, but ya.   Only two episodes have aired, but I think Gerry's the Real Deal.  Sincere.    Night #1, hearing his story of losing his childhood sweetheart-turned wife of what, 42 years, had me ugly crying in my Kleenex paper towel.




Realizing the holidays will be here before we know it, I've begun putting out some seasonal decor.

Giggling to self.
While I love finding and creating pretty table decor, we might use this room a dozen times a year.

Not unlike Tom and me, it's a mishmash!  Pretty glassware and weighty steak knives (gifts), together with Dollar Tree stoneware and whatever smokin' deals I can find at an estate sale.







If the weather continues cooling, I'm hoping we can soon throw open the sunroom doors and invite our music friends over for pulled pork, green chile cornbread and all the fixings.

Meanwhile, we'll be gathering tonight to see Frank and Cindy perform 'Boomer-coustic favorites' at Oak Tavern.



Have you smiled today?

Have a super Saturday!
