This And That

~ this post is all over the place, but it's all I have to offer ~
I made Grilled Cheese Sandwiches to enjoy with the rest of the 

It was so yummy.
I love a good homemade soup that feeds us twice.

During this cold snap, the hubs has been forced to play games with me to pass the time indoors.
Racko is my favorite.
I think I like it so much because I usually win.

Do you remember when I wrote about the 
The 32 foot Catalina Sailboat beached during a storm on September 20, 2025,
while traveling from New York to Florida.
- it's still on the beach in Sea Girt -

I spotted this "beer keg tree" at a local brewery...it was so cool.


I have fallen in love with these laundry sheets.
Have you tried these or a similar product?


My Paperwhites are at peak right now and they look and smell glorious.



The Paperwhites are like indoor sunshine,
I am so happy I planted them!

We have been home so much, I may have to start making things up for blog content!

The soup and grilled cheese look delicious. I need lessons in the kitchen.

I am planning to make soup this weekend and grilled cheese would be perfect, so thanks for the idea, Debbie. Racko is a fun game but one not in our collection now 😕. We are avid dominoes players (Mexican Train) and I enjoy American mah jongg. Friends recently showed us Chinese mah jongg and now we hope to find others who also play. The paperwhites are lovely and how nice to have a wonderful scent indoors now😀. Yes, to laundry detergent sheets which I have been using for quite a while and will only use ones made in USA or Canada, so need to check packaging. I also gave up detergent sheets for sool dryer balls. Thanks for the 🎂wishes.

Debbie, my posts are always 'all over the place'... so no problem. And I made African Chicken peanut soup this past week also. It makes a lot... so we have it for at least 2 days, sometimes 3. Had garlic cheese biscuits with it!
Love your paperwhites!
We're not much on board games... DH watches sports whenever possible and I do play Animal Crossing on my Nintendo Switch when not reading.

That is how I feel too. Not been going anywhere to blog about. I love the Paperwhites!

Your lunch looks fantastic and so do your paperwhites! That tree is a clever one for a brewery.

Hello!!! I love posts like this personally! :) I have tried paperwhites a few times and while they are so cheery the ones I get always smell so bad. I do not know why! I cannot tolerate them. I have heard some have better smells. I so wish I could find those!

Oh the paperwhites! Gorgeous! I am looking forward to spring!

Love paper whites I haven't had them in several years. Love grilled cheese. I use dryer balls so I don't use the sheets.

Your coffees are gorgeous. I love potato soup. It's simple to make and very tasty. Have a great Friday :)

I hope our warmer weather will be heading your way, our snow is melting, we can even see grass again in spots :) We had some strong winds today that kept it a bit cooler than what the temps were but still better. I wonder if that boat will just remain there after all this time. I have not tried those sheets, I was wondering if they were ok to use, didn't know if it might clog things up or not. Your flowers are just gorgeous!
