October Recap

 

The main events in October were Lizzie and Sandy's  trip to Greece  and Halloween.

Lizzie went to San Diego the first weekend of October. I had an appointment with Dr. Kim about some skin condition.  Lizzie had her hair trimmed at Anthony's. We went shopping, and had dinner out a couple of times.

                                                         Lulu turned 11 on October 18 :) 

Sandy flew down from SLC October 17, and they left the next day via Frankfurt to Greece.

They stayed in Athens for a couple of days, then flew to Chania in Crete for 8 days and enjoyed a painting retreat.  They really had a wonderful time! on the 29th they flew to Munich for a couple of says (they didn't enjoy it as much as they did Greece) and they flew back to the US on Halloween!

                                                           Lots of pictures on IG and FB. 

While they were gone, I didn't do a lot, went to Porto's cooked a lot at home, took Lulu for walks, and Decorated the mantle for Halloween. Went shopping, to the Library, and did some painting.

Sandy left November 1, back to Salt Lake City.

Tag day 10

 BOOOO!

Porto's and Tag day 9

 

Last night it was pretty chilly and I woke up with a stuffy nose and cough. I took some Alka Seltzer Plus, fed Lulu, took her outside to do her business, and didn't feel like getting back to bed. So, instead, I decided to go to Porto's and use the $10 credit they gave me.

I got there at about 10M and there was a long line all the way to the parking lot. I went right to the entrance and told the person there that I came to get a credit (they were only letting a few at a time inside) but she told me to go right to the bakery where they have the cakes and tell them about the credit. They asked for my phone and said yes we have you down for a $10 credit, he asked me what I wanted, and I had a little list made (good thinking on my part) he rang them and then deducted my credit. This is what I ordered: 2 potato balls spiced, 2 meat pies, 2 cheese pastries, 2 chocolate twists, 1 churro croissant, 1 slice of chocolate cake, 1 mango ball, and 1 refugiado. He said he'd go fill the order right away. He came back with two big bags and I said thank you and left, sort of surprised by the large bags. When I came home and checked what I got, I found out I got everything I ordered PLUS double potato balls, double meat pies and double cheese pastries AND a dulce de leche roll.

It was so large I cut it in half and gave half to Amy :)

I have enough food for the week!!!

Thanks Portos, great service
