This morning my boyfriend is picking me up and we are driving to Binghamton which is about 40 miles away. Going to the Salvation Army for their 50% off everything sale. Probably get something to eat while down there. Looking forward to it especially since the day looks promising with the sun shining.
 

Today my DD came over with the dogs, so she could visit for Mothers' day which is actually tomorrow. As we're still in Lockdown we couldn't go anywhere so we played with the dogs in the garden for a while, it was sunny but bitterly cold...

I'm not keen on cut flowers or cards, so DD brought me a little package she thought I might like.. A wheat heat pad for my back covered in a Dog paw design... a pack of Dark Choc peppermint Kit-kats... and a Ticket to the Mars Mission for 2026... ha! what do you think she's trying to tell me ? :ROFLMAO:

It takes about a minute and a half to get really hot in the micro... it about 20 inches long and I use it for my lower back... ( I have got one I've had for a long time)... you can use it to place on a painful Knee or across your shoulders to apply heat . It stays heated for about 20 minutes... . I prefer the non scented ones, but the most popular scent is Lavender

We use to go to Binghamton a lot when we were younger. About the same distance going south on route 12.

Both towns are named after the English towns. Funny thing is, when I google either one to get local info, I get more of your towns than I do mine.
Early settlers came largely from New England, especially Massachusetts and Connecticut. These early residents brought with them the name "Norwich," originally brought from England to Connecticut, to name their new home in New York. Norwichincorporated as a village on April 17, 1816 and incorporated as a city in 1914.

I'm baby sitting my two grandgirls (8 and 5) while my daughter is out of town taking a mandatory nursing class. Whatever stamina I had raising 6 children in my 20's and 30's has gone south. I managed to get them off to school this AM, but after oatmeal, 2 cups of coffee, chocolate, water, toast with butter/honey and several Youtube dance videos, I am still having trouble getting going! >.<
