Hi Everyone, I'm back. Did ya miss me? Of course you did..lol
So first off, today is my and Ken's 26th Anniversary. We've been together for 26 years. You'll notice I didn't say wedding anniversary because we're not legally married but 26 years is a long time and we consider ourselves married after all this time so we celebrate.
Before we even got the week started, we had all kinds of drama across the street. One of the guys that lives in the downstairs apartment had some friends over and went out to get something. But when he got back home a short time later, all his friends were gone and on his living room floor...was a dead woman who had overdosed on drugs.
His wonderful friends had just left her there and split and didn't even bother to call 911 or even call him and let him know. So when he got home he called 911 and the police and paramedics showed up and then a detective and then the coroner. They were all out there for hours.
That gray van behind the police car is a detectives vehicle and he got out with a DSLR digital camera with one of those long lenses.
The paramedics and police stood around for quite a while until all the crime scene photos were taken and the medical examiner came and took the body away. I didn't take a picture of that because it just seemed in bad taste since a person did lose their life.
The rest of the week was nice and quiet for the most part. My brother and sister in law got into town and we spent it visiting.
My daughter and grandson came over to visit on Monday because that was her only day off of work while they were in town.
Then on Tuesday my dad and step mother came over for a bbq.
I don't eat beef anymore so I opted for chicken and several others did also. Just my brother, dad and step mother wanted steak for the bbq.
The guys had a good time standing around the bbq talking and cooking.
From left to right that is my dad, my brother and Ken. My dad is 83 years old and still drives and gets around really good.
My brother and sister in law.
Ken went to California on Wednesday to dog/house sit for his sister so I have the apartment all to myself for the next 3 days. Party Time!
So what have you been up to this past week?
Oh my, that was an intense beginning to your week. Terrible situation for your neighbor.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you having a special visit with your family. The BBQ looks fun.
Everyone looks good.
Enjoy your alone time. Is it to be binging on your favorite movies and food that he doesn't like? That's what I usually do. ;)
Thanks, yeah it was sad that someone lost their life.
DeleteI'll be reading, catching up with blogs and ordering a couple of movies that I've been wanting to watch. Today will be The Huntsman: Winters War.
Not such a happy day for all there.
ReplyDeleteBut happy anniversary to you :D
Thank you.
Deletewow many things there.... it's sad about the woman but congrats on your 26 years!
ReplyDeleteIt is sad and thanks.
DeleteCongratulations to you and Ken on your anniversary! Here's to many more. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteSounds like a fun time was had indeed, besides the downstairs part. Such nice friends that guy has. Congrats on 26 years.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, that guy has wonderful friends.
DeleteThank you.
Congrats on your 26 anniversary!
ReplyDeleteYou sure have a lot of drama where you live.
It does sound like you had a good time with your family visiting and the BBQ!
We do have a lot of drama, it's nuts here.
DeleteWe did have a good time.
Whoa! Now that is some neighborhood drama! Congrats on 26 years together! Do you celebrate the day you met?
ReplyDeleteMy spouse took off a few extra days for the holiday weekend so we have been doing landscaping and a short day trip I will post about. Don't have too much fun with Ken gone!
Crazy drama.
DeleteNo, we celebrate the day we moved in together. lol I'll try not to have too much fun.
Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the tragedy downstairs, I am sure that was awful for all involved. The man needs some new friends!
Thank you. He definitely needs some new friends.
DeleteSounds like the man didn't have good company. I had a couple down the street at my old house commit murder-suicide because they were elderly and didn't want to hang on. Whole street shutdown almost.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's awful that they felt so bad that they resorted to that.
DeleteCongrats on your 26th anniversary! I'm really happy you're back, haha, I missed your posts! But I'm happy you had a great time. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's nice to be missed. :)
DeleteSo sad that everyone left, and the neighbor had to find that. Congrats on 26 years! Yay to family time and double Yay to you spending some "me' time! Hugs...
ReplyDeleteI hope he doesn't let those people back around him.
DeleteThanks for the congrats, it's crazy how fast time fly's. Me time is always nice.
That must have been some real action in the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteIt sure was.
DeleteHappy Anniversary! Sounds like interesting times, I hope things are calm from here on out.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hope things are calm for a while too.
DeleteHappy anniversary! You have some interesting neighbors. Glad you had such a fun visit. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I do, but they are such a pain in the rear. I'm glad I was able to visit with them too.
DeleteWelcome back, Mary, and congratulations on your happy anniversary. Very wise of you to have given up red meat!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I've also given up pork too.
DeleteAw lots of good visiting. Glad yall had a good time together :) And happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteThank you, it was a nice visit.
