Happy New Year!

 I’ve got the new honor boxes assembled and ready to place, and then it stormed for 3 days straight. 

The first day it cleared, I ventured out for supplies, then it began storming again, ugh! 

It’s going to be a wet holidays. Will attempt to place boxes once the roads clear. 

  Have a safe and Happy New Year! 🎊

Merry Christmas 🎄 and a Happy New Year 🎊 !

 

I love this time of year 🎄

It’s biting cold 🥶 outside today, and I’m warm and toasty inside my small cozy hovel   ;-) 

I’ve stocked up on premiere hot chocolate packets, marshmallows, and I splurged on a huge smiling Santa mug for Christmas Day. Am only missing cinnamon sprinkles. 

While waiting for additional locations to my route, I’m tending to delivery gigs. 

Yes of course I worry for critters abandoned in extreme heat 🥵 or cold and I can’t judge nor tell people what to do, can only do what I can so I keep the route going, and although it’s not a loss leader, it’s profitable just enuf to help critters thru organizations.

All the best!

Back to routine ☑️

 

   I only lost 1 machine location after nearly a month’s delay. 

The upside was that every piece of candy was donated out and all honor boxes did very well. On behalf of critters helped, Thanku!  

Even tho I’m not able to make a full living from the route, I still hope to add a few more locations soon!

🍬 Back on the line! 🍬

 Back online  🤞  

Car repaired, health, peace and balance restored, and back on the road! 

Cautiously, so very carefully, I returned to delivery work Friday for a few hours, and everything held up okay! All I have to worry about now is the ever-present weather, that fickleness of fate. 

Took my regular day off, read and relaxed some more. Am scheduled to return to full day of work tomorrow, then what does it do? It decides to start storming. Into tomorrow. So I reduced delivery hours for tomorrow. Can’t tempt the fickle finger of fate, can’t chance it! 

With any luck, and a lot of blessing, I hope to return to my route next week on Tuesday or Thursday. 

All the Halloween candies will be gone, but the ones I got for this month will be ready for refills. 

Wow, what a rough Halloween this year..!  🎃🧟🧟‍♀️🎃   

The good news is that, not only did I figure out how to re-post pics here, my favorite Little Library was fully repaired! The wonderful person even made sure to attach an adorable flag to deter anyone from messing with it. It’s supposed to be there for us to enjoy! 






Thanku so much for your awesome patience ❤️ You’re the best!

Car healed and so am I!

 Thanksgiving Vacay/Staycay

 

   Since my car was on crutches, I was stuck way up north, and shops are closed the entire 4-day weekend, I thought I’d had enuf of the stress, and gave myself a holiday from the road. 

   Since the nearest hostel was over 70 miles south, I searched for the cheapest and nearest motel. There were plenty, thank goodness! 

    Fun fact; Motel6 is called Motel6 because it used to be $6 a night. 

Now it’s pricier than most motels, so I continued searching.

    Found several that weren’t advertised, only took reservations by phone. Before I reserved, I did one last search. Reviews. The prices went up a bit. 


Hmmm. Most reviews were okay, not the greatest, but definitely expected for the prices. 

I was okay with smoking, coffee stains, no towels, fine. 

Then I filtered them down to one word. Bugs. Oops, there were plenty. And pics. Not good. As I continued searching, the prices went up of course. 


   And here I am, not one single b review. And it’s true to form. 

Clean, hot water, cable TV, plush bedding, not 1 stain, I looked everywhere, not one stain anywhere! 

Oh, and hot and cold continental breakfast. Yes! I immediately became a member, got a tiny discount, and am dug in for the week. 

   I must say to the customers on my route, you’re the best. Have an awesome holiday, I’ll keep posting here…

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

    Next to Christmas, Thanksgiving is the best! 

Both holidays are full of blessings.  

Even with car repairs pending, holiday season upon us, and bundling up for the cold, never underestimate the power of God’s Grace to count our blessings, no matter how wonderful and plentiful our lives may be!  

    Have a warm and Happy Thanksgiving week!

It’s Always Something…

 It’s always something… 

  I stocked up on fresh candies, both individual and bulk, ready to hit the road. Then the car died. Sort of. It’s in some sort of limp mode with crutches and I couldn’t chance it, so am having to sit out the next couple of weeks while the parts are being ordered. 

  It’s the most delayed I’ve ever been, over a month late and I hope it’s okay.

A rainy November

 To my customers, everything seems to happen at once, and it tends to slow things down a bit, but I didn’t forget u, not even for a second! 

There’s supposed to be storms this upcoming week which I hope to avoid as best I can. 

More holidays coming up! A busy, busy time of year. See u soon!
