Here's link one.

Who could ask for more?

Yesterday i turned another year wiser hehe and what a FANTASTIC day!!! the weather was perfect at home AND in Desert Hot Springs where DH took me to the Hotel Spa for the day!! it was only $3.00 per person to use 8 mineral hot spring pools, a sauna AND use of the olympic sized pool too! DH LOVED that!! lol i, of course, LOVED the hot springs!! Here's a couple of pictures from it:


As you can see on a tuesday, it's not too crowded to enjoy either!! it was HEAVEN!!!
DH says we ought to be able to do that at least once a month and the next time we go, we want to do the massage and maybe get a room for overnight!

massage rooms

All i know is, it was only about an hour!!! Close enough to enjoy all the time!! lol
Later, after we got home, DS & DH took me to the Rib Co. for dinner! YUMMMMMMMMMM!!! and the staff came out with this HUGE brownie sundae, with a candle AND singing to me!!! TEARS started to flow! lol i was soo embarrassingly happy lol Truly the BEST birthday i ever had! Then after dinner we got home and my older DS called from NY to say Happy Birthday mom!! How WONDERFUL is that!?! :D i LOVE my family! Thank you :D
Today's weather here seems comparable to yesterday's and just as warm!! So today i do wash LOL one day a princess and the next day back to work!! ohhhhh how we look forward to retirement days LOL ahhh just kidding around! at least now we know about this place AND we are going to check out others too!! If this one was the bottom of the barrel with pricing at $3.00 days ( 8am - 10pm) then the other spas (more expensive) could be the most incredible places on earth LOL this place was soo beautiful and calming it's hard to believe the others could be any better at all! will be interesting to see one day. ;)
i hope your day is as relaxing or exciting as you want it to be and thank you so very much for your birthday wishes!!! HUGS to you!! oh and thank you for visiting!! :D

Crazy weekend!

How was your weekend? Our friday was extremely windy and cold, i doubt it reached the 60's here but couldn't tell you for sure, just know it was COLD lol
Saturday Cinnamon graduated from her series of puppy shots! hard to believe how fast they grow! lol She is a little more than 3 1/2 lbs. now. lol The sweetie! Then saturday nite one neighbor comes over to see if we heard the accident, which we hadn't! Turns out that some kids were flying down the dirt road on a quad and ran into one of the other neighbors dogs and flew out of the vehicle and killed the dog! was a good sized (medium-large) dog. Real shame for the dog, since that family moved into their place (with a wONDERFUL 8' fence all around the lot) they have never closed their gates and have been leaving their THREE dogs run all over! AND it was after dusk so it was quite dark out there at the time! i don't even know if the kids had lights on the vehicle, we saw nor heard a thing, til the one neighbor came over! Strange!!
Sunday's weather was much nicer but still the air is soo cool and when that wind picks up, it blows right thru me!! We went to church for the first time in over a year. It was very different from the last time she gave sermon cause before it was mostly a spiritual thing but this time was more on the Luthern side since she kind of teamed up with another Reverend.
Got company now,visting for my birthday WOOHOOO! which is tomorrow! will be back later! HUGS
ok am back about 2hrs later lol What fun! Don't ya love when people care about your birthday? How nice is that?
i have been working out my last of Year of Seasons, Winter! That will be ready to share later this week! hehe i sure hope you like it but for now i am really getting hungry, haven't had breakfast yet and now it's almost noon lol
Have a WONDERFUL day and thank you so much for visiting! :D

Ahh!

Time the animals all settled in and time enough for another late post! hehe :D
i have been so frustrated with my internet provider that DH will be on the phone with them yet again! (sigh)
Have you all checked out this Halloween kit at Peggy's ? i think it is so FANTASTIC and can hardly wait til i have it all downloaded!! You see, with MY provider, i am suppose to be able to download over 300 megs, but when i get over 100 megs, my internet speeds starts dropping and then if i push it and download even more, than we have worse than dial up speeds!! Can you believe that? Better yet, can you believe i can find EASILY 300 megs or better out there AND ALL FREEBIES!!! LOL SOOOOOOOOOO i sit on my hands sometimes so i don't blog hop & browse at all the stuff i can't get! (harumph!!)
It has NOT been easy this year with this satelite internet but at least i have been able to get TONS of stuff that i really would not have gotten with the dial up we had before. Soooo that's the good news i suppose :) Always look for that silver lining hehe
Well, we know the company will YET AGAIN tell us that it's like a bucket with a hole in it and doesn't empty as fast as i can download. So i am not sure how they can help me without yet ANOTHER upgrade but since this one didn't seem to help much, i am not sure we will go that route! We shall see. :D
Where is our Oktoberfest??? i NEED a drink! lol just kidding :D
i do want to close with wishing all (or any of my) Canadian bloggers a Thanksgiving FILLED with Blessing! Have a WONDERFUL day and thank you so much for visiting!! :D HUGS!

Did you view the Harvest Moon this year where you live? The most romantic night of the year where the sunsets in the west as the moon rises from the east! Both in the same sky for a few beautiful moments!
Here's an excerpt from Earthsky
The Harvest Moon is also known as the Wine Moon, the Singing Moon and the Elk Call Moon. In myth and folklore the full moon of each month is given a name. There are many variations
but the following list gives the most widely known names:

* January - Wolf moon
* February - Ice moon
* March - Storm moon
* April - Growing moon
* May - Hare moon
* June - Mead moon
* July - Hay moon
* August - Corn moon
* September - Harvest moon
* October - Hunter's moon
* November - Snow moon
* December - Winter moon
Did you know there were names for each full moon every month? i sure didn't! lol it is absolutely WONDERFUL to learn something new, don't you agree? i certainly saw all kinds of scrapping/designing possibilities with that knowledge! lol
Well, it is a bit late here and so i am off to get ready to end this day (sigh) i didn't get too much done, other than with the animals todays! lol Seemed just as one would settle, another started up and it was both the cats and dogs acting up! Just been one of those days! lol Hope yours was better, for sure! :D And thanks so much for stopping in! HUGS :D

Puh-lease!!
