Happy Non-Birthday Twat for Memorandum Monday

A nice long weekend full of what one would expect perfect fall weather here in New York to be. Just cold enough to enjoy mulled cider, crispy leaves, and a blue blue sky. Good thing I had a slightly longer weekend since I took Friday off to visit my Gram in the nursing home.

She is on floor for peeps that are not really hanging out with us these days but who have gone back into their own minds. I guess it was a stroke or maybe she just got sick of it here but her body isn't ready to leave. They say she sleeps a lot and sometimes talks about her Mom. I appreciate the people keeping her safe and that she still knows the word cookie very well.

Luke had his friend Tommy over to hang and join in the paint ball games on Sunday. These days I don't have to organize much for these sorts of things. I was only asked for invites which I whipped up in about five minutes. I was in charge of the food too, which basically meant figuring out where you could get the best pizza and wings locally. Well, I also made mulled cider. I think the kids thought I said Mold Cider so there was a lot left over, which didn't hurt my feelings. That stuff rocks! He'll be 14 in just a bit so it was an early non birthday. His sister came up with what I needed to have written on the cake. Isn't she sweet?

Well I'm off today to see what kind of trouble I can get into at work. Usually having a day or two off means that there is lots of catching up to do. Hope not!

Also, if you like writing a wee bit each Monday, feel free to come hang with us over at Sian's From High in the Sky blog where she hosts us for Memorandum Monday!
