Good morning!
Ruth-- Oh how I love applesauce! I've never made it but my great great aunt used to make it for me. I miss her... and her applesauce. She passed away 2 years ago this December. I shall have to see if my Gran has her recipe. Of course, I'm sure it has sugar in it.. I may have to tweak, but the one thing I loved the most was she made it chunky. MM mm Good! Hope yours turns out fantabulous!
Cyndi-- HAHAHAHA!! "never fly through Chicago in the winter"... Someone should have told me that back in 98. I took a trip to Connecticut from Wisconsin and flew into Chicago both ways. On the way home... we had a HUGE storm and I ended up stuck in the airport overnight. (I had no cash, no credit card, no nothin) Twas NOT fun.
Lexxiss-- Do you find that knitting is somewhat meditative? I have crocheted blankets before... always found that sort of needlework to be very meditative for me. Though, so is doing dishes and playing Dr. Mario LOL whatever works, I guess! I've been wanting to get into cross stitch again. I was never great at it, started in high school... all that counting. lol but I'm sure it's progressive. I saw an episode of one of those daily court shows once where a woman had these absolutely beautiful cross stitch pieces. HUGE and framed and with different kinds of thread, yarn etc. They were geishas I think. I was thinking to myself.. you can do that with cross stitch!? I wanna do THAT! lol
Chelby-- I'm hoping and praying that you all stay healthy! And happy 9th anniversary to you and your hubby! I think a story about your engagement.. or your wedding.. is in order! Or tell us something special about the hubby!
Hi Cottage! -- You have been busy busy this morning! I don't know about you but I need an hour or two after I wake up to chill, drink coffee and just.. well.. wake up! lol I find if I don't get this time, I am very unpleasant most of the day. LOL
wow. I talked a lot today. I'm going to be stopping by the clinic this morning, my granny is in town for a dr. appt. It will be nice to see her. She's very supportive of most things, and I talk to her every week, sometimes twice... so she knows I've started "dieting". I'll be happy to tell her how on plan I've been! She has diabetes and so we both know I'm a prime candidate for it... and we both know it's important for me to get that sugar out of my system and to regulate my blood sugar, drop this extra weight and exercise.
Other than that, it will just be nice to hang with her, even if it is at a clinic lol.
