Question of the Day: Sunday, August 28

[gilmargl]

Hi everybody - how time is flying by. Sorry I'm so late.

This morning, I picked up a craft catalogue () to read while the man I was visiting at the carehome slept. It was full of ideas for Christmas !( ) and here am I, still hoping for a week or 2 of summer, when the temperatures and humidity are not quite so high and I will be able to sit outside.

Next week will be a busy one for me and .......... although there will be at least one happy event, I will be glad when it is over. The cats will also have to spend more time on their own so we're all looking forward to one week from now! But, that's no way to go through life, is it!

What are you looking forward to? Christmas, a holiday, meeting up with old friends, end of school, retirement, final examinations, wedding....?
Thinking positive, and having no illusions about the week after next being any better than next week, I am looking forward to meeting up with an ex-colleague who became my boss shortly before I retired. She is now retiring herself and we haven't seen each other since before Covid-19 put a stop to almost everything.

So I may have no big events coming up, but I am looking forward to seeing her again.

And, what about you?

I know this isn't what you meant, but .. ..

What are you looking forward to?

the thought of time slowing down

Seriously though, I love Christmas almost as much as I did when I was a kid and I LOVE cooking and baking for the holidays!

Agree w Furball, less is more.

I'm looking forward to autumn, it's my favorite season. I love to sit outdoors and take long walks when the temps cool down and there's no humidity.

I'm looking forward to my sister going on holiday next week so I can have a bit of peace and quiet, catch up over coffee with a few friends and pinch my sisters tomatoes from her greenhouse.

Given my age, and given the times, the only thing that I'm looking forward to is seeing another sunrise. Everything beyond that is gravy.

I am looking forward to fall, cooler temperatures and Halloween. It is my favorite holiday and I love seeing the kids so much.

We have a friends wedding to go to in the fall, we'll see friends we haven't seen in years. I'm not one for fussing with this normally...but I'm looking forward to getting all dressed up for it too.
When I can finally say..."I'm done" with my big clean up of the house...I'm getting there.
I've already started thinking about it...Christmas and my baking. I always try to start my baking in the beginning of October so I have to start planning and watching for sales on baking ingredients.

Hi all I’m looking forward to figuring out how to navigate this site so far I’m loving it

Winter. Well, our winter. I can turn off the AC for a while and the cats can spend more time out back in the screen room.

I am sure. Hopefully soon!

I'm looking forward to my trip to Salem and Boston in October with my sister.

I have a birthday coming. Normally I just want dinner with DH, our kids, my mom and stepdad. Sometimes my mom and the kids cook. But this year I’m hoping to something a little nicer. Still low-key; just nicer to mark this one. Theres a little touristy town not too far away with fun shops. DH won’t want to browse but mom and I could make a nice day of it because she’s retired now. DD would probably enjoy it but DS…

I would choose this seafood buffet place that we loved for things like this; but it closed.

I'm looking forward too get my "Man Cave" /Storage Room remodeled. I have spent a considerable amount of time and money on supplies and design . Hopefully by October I will have the majority of work completed.

 

[Jcatbird]

Hmmm. I am looking forward to hearing that game misconduct has gotten the “all clear”!
Around here.... a quiet, boring day would be nice. Nothing but litter boxes and kitty cats.

I’m looking forward to the funding for my mother’s homecare package being increased, so I can get some respite days when I don’t have to hurry home (and even get someone in to do the vacuuming). The increased level has been approved but it takes months for the funding to actually increase. What’s the odds it wont arrive till the end of the year when it’ll be too hot to want to go anywhere?

Thanksgiving. Though it's a quiet holiday with just the two of us plus the cat, 4 days off work is a joy.

Oh, I forgot about caramel apples! A local store sells ones made by a candy factory and they are insanely good. Can’t eat a whole one but I do dole it out over a couple days. So, so good!
