Good morning ladies! Just a quick post as we are getting ready to head to the commissary. Jack decided to take a bonus day today and so he has a nice 3 day weekend.

Jean: Hope your half day goes quickly. Looks like you only have a couple more hours or so from the time here, unless you start at 9 am. The recipe book is cute. I hope T doesn't think it is too childish. They are basic recipes like peanut butter and jelly, but they have some recipes on making bread for your pbj, some cute easy desserts and breakfast items for the kids to make. It is very simple language and lots of cartoon like pictures to follow.

Susan: I had that chocolate cake when we went out for my birthday and I didn't like it. I guess it was too dense of a cake for me or something. I am not a huge ice cream fan either so I only ate about one spoon of it. They have a nice salad bar there though. Not real big, but enough to get your fill of veggies and such.

I think maybe we will go to Jason's deli today and I can get the salad bar there. It is fabooooo! Last time they had strawberry shortcake. They had taken pound cake and torn it into pieces and mixed fresh berries, whipped cream
and the cake all together and put it into one of those stone containers they use for condiments and such. It was really good. They also have soft serve ice cream than everybody can have free, which is a nice thing. You can get a cone or make a sundae. They have great variety of veggies, olives and such, muffins, garlic toast and crackers and about 10 different dressings to choose from.

I guess I better get a move one so we can get this done. You know how much I love it. Oh, our gas is down around $2.70 a gallon, how's yours? It drops almost everyday now. Jack says he thinks it will stabilize around $2.50 and stay there so we shall see. I don't mind $2.50 as we sure aren't going to ever see the 35 cent gas again are we gals?!?!

Good evening, ladies. What a change in the weater - down in the 50s right now! And raining - all day.

I had to go to the grocery store since I haven't been there for 2 weeks. Wouldn't you know I forgot (and they were on my list) bread and milk. I still have some but I'm aggravated I have to go again.

Faye, we have a Jason's Deli here. I always get the salad bar. The bad thing is those muffins - too good! Gas here is $2.46 today. I hope it keeps on going down.

Maggie, the bear sounds lovely. I have the first stuffed animal I got when I was born - a little lamb made out of leather!

Jean, I hope you enjoyed your extra time off.

Have a good evening.

Good evening ladies! Where is everyone today? Still cold and raining here.

Didn't do much today. Went to Curves then to get bread. Came home and did laundy and quilted all afternoon. Still have some to do tomorrow. A rather boring day.

Have a good evening.
