Friday Freebies November 8, 2019


Last weekend Hubby and I went to Maryland to visit our daughters. We stayed at a hotel right near the college. We got a free room upgrade. We were moved to the concierge level. It included free breakfast, free drinks, snacks and a lite dinner. I had brought food for breakfast so I gave some to my daughter and brought the rest home. We are happy to eat free breakfasts. One night we went to the free dinner. There was plenty of food for us to call it dinner. It included hummus and chips, veggies, cheese platter, ravioli, chicken skewers and fruit. I had grilled chicken cutlets at home and brought them with us for dinner. YD was happy to take them to her dorm since we didn't eat them.  


We stopped in several times a day to grab drinks and a snack. 


I also brought home the extra toiletries. 


YD gave me her large pumpkin that she had gotten when she went pumpkin picking with friends. I brought it home and cooked it up. 


We went to the mall with the girls. Hubby and I got free samples. We ate dinner the 2nd night at OD's future in laws. The only meal we paid for was at the mall we treated to lunch. Both other lunches I had packed food. 


DD is doing a contest and I won $5 GC.


I got $5 to Panera from Verizon Up. 



We had our first frost so I picked everything from the garden. 


I have been getting lots of freebies in the mail. 



P got these bags in the mail free. He didn't want them so I took them. I put them in my suitcase to keep items organized. 


He also treated me to pizza one day. 

Did you get any freebies recently?

    I brought home 7 glasses from the wedding that people did not take. We needed glasses and they were on my list to purchase. I also brought home 7 larger bottles of shampoo and body wash and several bars of soap. Hubs will use these in his shower. We did not eat out at all this week, alwasy a plus.

    This weekend my sons were all home and we went to visit my mother at her assisted living center. We scheduled it so we could join her for lunch and it was free. She was able to introduce us to all of her friends and "show us off."

    Since it was her birthday, I decided against a frivolous gift and bought her things she could use.
    I went to the dollar store and using coupons, bought her a bag full of shampoo, lotion, toothpaste, soap, hairspray and anything else she might need.

      I am sure she was so happy to spend the time with you and your sons. As I get older, I realize I like less clutter and more practical gifts.

I hope everyone is healthy and doing alright with our new normal. When the weather permits I have been out side working on the gardens. My kale never died the winter because it was so mild. It recently started growing again.  I was able to pick a nice bunch this morning. I will be incorporating it into our meals this week. YD loves smoothies and always tosses some kale in. The gardening season has finally begin! Have you harvested anything from your garden yet this year?

Oreo Got Hurt

Image
She is OK and that is the most important thing. We are not sure exactly what she did to herself but she started limping Monday night. I checked her paw to make sure there was nothing in it. Hubby and I decided to block the stairs and have her sleep on the first floor. She usually sleeps in our room. Hubby brought down her bed to the living room. In the middle of the night she did a loud yelp. You have to step on her for her to yelp so it was very strange. Hubby and I flew down the stairs to check on her. She was in pain and didn't want to put her foot down. We got her to lay down and I got ice on her leg. I wasn't sure if it was her paw, leg or shoulder. She finally went back to sleep and I did too.  YD is the first to get up and I heard her walking around. 2 minutes later Oreo let out another huge yelp. I ran down the stairs and she was in the kitchen. She had an accident on the floor and wanted to go outside. We have one little step out the back door and she had no prob...
