On Mondays we have a set date with our grandson JJ. He gets dropped off for a visit with Baba and Gramps while his mommy takes Addy to her Irish Dance Class. Last Monday I snapped some photos of him.
On Tuesday we had lunch at the newest restaurant in Colville, El Patron. It took many months to open and we were happy to see that it finally did open. It passed our salsa test and our taste test, too. We will return.
On Halloween our bunny family got ready for the Harvest Festival Trunk or Treat at our church and then they came out to our place to get their treats.
Knowing they’d have a big bag of candy already from the Harvest Festival we had some fruit snacks, goldfish crackers, and a bag of change for their treat. Gramps cleaned out one of his piggy banks and they each got quarters, dimes and nickels.
Addy got busy counting out her cash!
On Friday there was something that I ate that turned my insides out and I suffered with nausea through the night and all day Saturday. I was happy to wake up on Sunday feeling like a new person with the nausea gone. It was good to be able to attend our Sunday church services and our Connection group on Sunday afternoon. I was so thankful to feel better.
Now we face the challenge of the Time change and adjusting our sleep back to a normal wake up time.
Today we are looking forward to our Monday date with this little guy.
Grace and peace to all of you as we face this new week.

The ol´ passing of the salsa test is an important one! Lol. I am glad you like the new restaurant and hope that it flourishes. Your grandkids look so cute in their costumes. How fun to get candy and money! I am glad that you´re feeling better. Happy Monday!
A new Mexican restaurant has to pass my salsa test and my margarita test :-). Your grandkids look so cute!! I’m so glad you are feeling better — I hate that kind of sickness.
…so many keepsakes!
Hello Ellen,
I hope you are feeling better! Love the family photos, the grands look cute in their costumes.
I love Mexican food, looks yummy! Take care, have a great day and a happy week ahead.
A busy week in your corner. Glad you are feeling better. Love those bunny rabbits 🙂 B x
I’m so sorry to hear that you ate something that did not agree with you. Glad that you woke up yesterday morning feeling better and that you were able to enjoy your time with church family.
I just have to say (again and again) that your grandchildren are so adorable. They made the cutest bunnies ever…so did their mama.
Have a wonderful day, Ellen.
So sorry you were so sick!!
We have a El Patron around here but have only been there once and that was years ago.
What adorable bunnies!! 🙂
That’s a fun Monday for you with JJ. Your plates looks delicious. Glad you liked it. Cute Halloween bunnies. I sure they enjoyed the coins. We often give James a dollar bill when we visit him and he goes into his bedroom and counts all of them each time. So sorry to hear about your upset stomach. Glad you feel better. Enjoy you time with JJ today.
Admittedly, your grands are absolutely adorable. But that street taco plate is a thing of beauty.
A sweet post thoroughly enjoyed Ellen, though I am very sorry you had such a reaction. Hope you are completely free and clear by now.
The grands look darling all dressed for Halloween. I’m sure your JJ loves being at your home every week and the two of you enjoy it as well. Hopefully this new week finds you feeling well.

My two oldest grandsons love their change lol. Especially the 7 year old. He must have counted his coins ten times at least while we were there. He is enjoying the British coins especially. Glad you’re feeling better. It feels like we’re in for quite a week. I am praying for peace as election day comes and goes.
We could sure appreciate a good Mexican restaurant around here!
Our special grands time is picking them up from school and driving them home. Sometimes they even talk to us!
Doesn’t a lot happen in a week?! I think a good local Mexican place is a real win! So are memory-making Mondays with a grandson!
