Quiet Night at the Rancho and Some Sissy News

Very quiet night here at the rancho.  DH is working late, Dad is fed and tucked in, and I'm watching the last of the news.  The heat has returned, it was 88 degrees today.  I checked the calendar. It's Fall, but you wouldn't know it by the weather.  In the morning, I need a sweater...in the afternoon, I'm using the air conditioner in the truck.

Dear Weatherman.  Please pick a season.  LOL

I helped DH with a wedding BBQ on Saturday, so I got Sunday to do whatever I wanted.  Chose to spend it with my baby sister.  We headed on down to Solvang for lunch and a bit of window shopping.  Mostly, it was just to chat.  She has met the love of her life and is making some changes. She hopes to move to England in six months.  She has to wait 90 days for an answer to her visa request, so she will be staying with us to save up some money.  She says that if all goes well, they will get married next year.  I am so happy for her, but a little sad for me.  She has been alone for 25 years and deserves happiness.  But, it will be hard with her on the other side of the world.  I've never had a passport, so I guess I better get going on an application! LOL

Solvang is about an hour and half away from our town and is a Danish-style village.  See the shiny walkway...it was raining!!!  It wasn't too cold, but Sissy was looking for a special store and took us about seven blocks out of the way.  She has no sense of direction.  I know better, but she SAID it was only two blocks away...Thank goodness I was wearing a lightweight shirt.  It dried pretty fast.  LOL






The weather cleared and it was beautiful!  Warm and sunny.  Here is me and Sissy...being silly.  She added the hat and crown because our hair looked really, really bad from the rain.  LOL


So I'm off to get my evening chores done.  Good night to all my peeps and peepettes.  Be kind to one another.

  1. Solvang looks really neat.
    Wow. I have three brothers, no sisters. I still would be sad to have one of them move to England! So it sounds like you will be going to England for a wedding?

  2. Good morning, Vickie...we will have to see! It would be hard with my dad, but it is still quite a ways out. I will miss her. She will always be my baby sister...

    Have a great day!

  3. Good luck to your sister; that is a mammoth move to change countries but the world seems to be shrinking more all the time. So glad you two had a nice day out and about. Keep cool, that is when it's hot.

    1. Good morning, Jocelyn. I am afraid for her, but happy, too. She has been restless the last few years and is ready for a change. I hope that all goes well. You never know where you will find love!
