According to Marcia, “Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.”
This was a slow week.  Isn’t it funny how, even though we have enough to read, we still look forward to seeing the mail carrier on a daily basis, wondering if any goodies will be delivered!!

Questions:
1. How many pillows do you sleep with?

Just one
2. Where will you eat on Thanksgiving?

Eating at the in-laws.

3. Would you rather go to a party or host a party?

This is a hard one because I enjoy both.  For 24 years we hosted an “Italian Christmas Eve” that everyone looked forward to.  The night started with a sit down dinner for immediate family and very close friends that included the traditional 7 fish dinner.  Then around 10pm, we would host an open house with more goodies until the wee hours into Christmas morning. 
Both of my son’s friends would warm up the left overs and said that it had become their tradition too.

4. How many purses (for the guys..wallets) do you own?

Too many

5. What is your favorite kind of seafood?

Baked stuffed with a couple of baked stuffed shrimp on the side.  I eat a lot of fish.

Today’s Question:
Who would you rather borrow from? Your library? Or a Friend?

(Or don’t your friends trust you to return their books?)
And, DO you return books you borrow?
What I Think:
Friends, there is no pressure borrowing from friends if I don’t read it in the specified time like at the library.  I will and do return books, but most of the time, it will be said that I can pass it on.

Since the time I received my chair, hubby was a bit jealous that he didn’t have one for his computer work area.  If you knew my DH, you would know that he never, ever goes and despises to shop.   But since he could shop, right from home, without going out, he went to the CSN Stores site and went shopping.  He decided that this model of desk chair was the one he wanted and purchased.

Slapdash Sunday is a day for your proverbial week ‘leftovers.’ Is there something you wanted to say, but just forgot? Is there something you want to write about, but isn’t worth a whole page? Do you have a random thought, funny or otherwise that needs to be written down?
That is what Slapdash Sunday is for!

  Hi Everyone!!!!  Not sure if anyone noticed I was gone for a few days, but if you did, I’m back  lol.
  Hubby and I took a road trip to PA to visit our youngest son, Mark and his gf, Jess.  Mark knows that hubby loves Pink Floyd and there was a sold out concert for all 3 performances, but, he managed to get tickets at a decent price, so we drove down on Thursday.  It was our 1st time to visit him since he moved there, couldn’t go sooner because of my surgeries, so we were excited to go.  The 5 hour drive was a bit rough on my back but I passed the time reading and finished a book (now need to write the review).  I thought that I would, at least, check my emails and blog, but we didn’t even take our laptops out of the trunk. That’s not to say that I didn’t have blog withdrawals lol.
  Thursday night the kids picked us up at the hotel and we went to supper.  Jess dropped off the boys at the concert (Jess and I aren’t fans of Pink Floyd) and then dropped me back at the hotel.  I, was unable to do much else that day because of the discomfort, and we knew that Friday was going to be a long day.
  Friday we drove to where Mark and Jess live, and loved it!!!!  The complex is huge and its like a resort with everything they have access to.  An indoor pool, gym, restaurant, daily activities, huge outdoor pool, etc., etc.  They then took us on a tour of Philly, to see many of the historical sites.  And of course, we had to see the stairs at the Museum, where Rocky Balboa ran to the top.  Hubby said that he was going to run those stairs with no problem, UNTIL he saw them.  So instead Mark took a picture of him in front of the statue.  Friday night we went to dinner at another historical restaurant that was built around 1850.  It was quaint, had a small seating capacity, the fireplace was lit, and the food was delicious.  Jess’ mom made the arrangements and the 6 of us, the kids and Jess’ parents had a wonderful evening. 
  And yesterday, back on the road to come home. 
  So since I never even took out the laptop, and have so much to catch up on, and it is Slapdash Sunday,  My question and topic today is:
