October Prime Purchases and Daddy Update



And, here we are in October! Can it be that Christmas is just around the corner.  Surely not! Perhaps I'll be of some help to you with gift ideas.  Let's get started...............

BIRD  CANVAS  PRINT


I have a large easel in my kitchen area and I keep some type of seasonal print on it.  I thought this bird had a "fallish" look and snagged it to use through fall.  There are all kinds of stretched canvas prints available on Amazon. 




COFFEE  CARAFE  WITH  PUMP


These pump carafes have been around forever, but, I have never owned one.  Well, I decided it was time to own one.  I think I will enjoy it when we have company as I could make 2 pots of coffee, pour them in the carafe and keep them hot for several hours.  I like that idea better than pulling out my 40 cup coffee maker.  And, this carafe has a very nice look.



RECHARGABLE  ELECTRIC  SALT AND PEPPER  SHAKER



Oh, my goodness, do I LOVE these! I know, I know, I just had a pair of new salt and pepper shakers on here a couple of times ago.  But, I saw a video of someone cooking and they used this type of shakers and I was SOLD! You can set the size of the salt and pepper from fine to course and it dispenses it like a champ.  And, they are very good looking.



DIVA  FINE  LAUNDRY  WASH - 32 oz


If you would enjoy having your towels, sheets and lingerie to have an awesome scent, then you need to order some of this.  Yes, it is very expensive, BUT.  You combine it with another less expensive fragrance free detergent.  It just takes a small amount to give off an awesome fragrance.  I use All Free and Clear and  put about a capful of this in with the amount of All I use.  If you are familiar with Tyler Candles, this detergent is made by the same company




LEFT  RIGHT  CENTER  GAME


 
This is a great mindless game and by mindless, you don't have to think, it's just the luck of "the throw." It's a game that you don't have to think about and can enjoy visiting all while playing.  And, if you want to really enjoy it, replace the chips with "real" money.  Talk about fun!  It would make a great stocking stuffer.



REUSEABLE  GROCERY  BAGS




I love these reusable grocery bags.  The shape is square and they have a formed shape.  I do not like the ones that are just fabric and do not sit up or stay open. There are several designs to choose from but I could not resist these.  I just keep them in the back of my vehicle.



DEVOTIONAL  BOOK  BY  PAUL  DAVID  TRIPP


I was so excited to see that Paul David Tripp had come out with his 2nd devotional book.  I have used his 1st one, New Morning Mercies, for the past 2-3 years.  His devotionals are far better than 90% of the devotional books I've seen. ~in my opinion~  His have depth, based on scripture and food for thought.  A wonderful way to start your day.



LIGHTWEIGHT  V NECK  SWEATER


You may remember that I posted this sweater in last month's purchases in a solid color. I have enjoyed the 3 solid colored ones so much that I ordered this gray striped one. These are lightweight, great under a jacket and I love the V-neck for wearing a necklace. 



UPDATE  ON  DADDY

Daddy enjoying a little time outside a couple of weeks ago.

Well, until last Thursday, Daddy had made great progress.  He hasn't complained of any pain or discomfort in over a month and was getting stronger. He can still have bouts of confusion but had made good stride.  But, on Thursday, he complained of a sore throat and by Friday he had signs of chest congestion and started running a low grade temp.  I've had the sitters give him OTC meds and Tylenol and he hasn't gotten any worse but not really any better.  So, I will be in touch with his Doctor today and seek her advise. I'm pretty sure it's bronchitis as he generally has it at least once a year.  He seems to take two steps forward and one step backwards. Hopefully he will beat whatever this is and be on the road to regaining his strength once again.

  2. That coffee carafe is a great purchase for serving multiple guests. I have been eyeing a new salt and pepper shaker set, so I am going to add those to my list. I am also very interested in the new devotional book. I didn't realize he had a new one. Praying for your father to feel better.

  4. Your dad and my mother -- both you and I are sort of holding our breath as we watch over them. I'm glad your dad seems to be coming out of that broken bone injury. The bronchitis -- yes, those who tend to get it seem to have it on a regular basis every year. My Tom was like that.

  5. I am glad to hear the review of the devotional. I had just looked at that one for next year. I like the square bags too so may order a couple in that shape. Love LRC...we play with a big group and it's so much fun. Hope your Daddy feels better soon.

  6. I loved reading the October Prime Purchases and Daddy Update post! It's always fun to see what great finds people score during Prime events, especially with the holidays coming up. Also, the update on Daddy was really touching—so glad to hear he’s doing better. It's wonderful to have a little life update mixed in with shopping tips. If you're thinking of customizing any of your Prime buys, consider using an embroidery digitizer to turn your ideas into beautiful embroidered designs. It's a great way to personalize gifts or even add a creative touch to your own items!

  7. Thank you, as always, for your prime purchases. I recently bought the salt and pepper shakers but they are not rechargeable. They just might need to be replaced:) LOVE the reusable grocery bag design. Off to shop! Enjoy your day dear friend, HUGS!

  8. When seeking the best cataract surgeon in Texas, it is essential to consider a range of factors that contribute to the quality of care and surgical outcomes. The ideal surgeon should possess extensive experience in cataract procedures, demonstrating a track record of successful surgeries and satisfied patients.

    Additionally, they should be well-versed in the latest advancements in cataract surgery techniques and technologies, ensuring that patients receive the most effective and minimally invasive options available. A thorough evaluation of patient reviews and testimonials can also provide valuable insights into the surgeon's expertise and the overall patient experience.
