♪ ♥♫ GOOD EVENING MAGNOLIAS☺♫
Will just bought me the latest “Best of Cooking Light 2013.” Here it is this year is not even half over yet ~ bet they are recipes from last years magazine offerings. It has 96 top-rated recipes they have previously featured last year with one I had saved smack dab on the front which is Lemon Squares ~ I love lemon squares. They are so very good and only 3P+ each. I love the bold tart lemon filling. I am very pleased to have the lightened version of this treat and have some in the freezer from when I made them awhile back. I love it when they put out one of these specialty magazines without any advertisements ~ just recipes.
We had a nice outing today. Will has a volunteer job to locate where some folks are buried in the cemeteries around here. What it is ~ folks that have moved away have grandparents or such buried and they contact the folks that do this service and then they contact Will with a list of cemeteries within our area to go to and take a picture of the tombstone and then send it in and they send it on to the folks that requested the search. For the cemetery we went to today, which was about 30 miles from here, there was a list of 8 graves we were to locate and we found 5 of them but will go back when the weather is nicer and go further in the cemetery to locate the others. We had to give up today’s search because it got just too cold with the wind blowing to be walking through the rows. Will takes the pictures with his I-Pad and then can send them on to the man that distributes them. Seems like lots of folks are doing an “ancestor” search these days. Someone in my family did a search a few years back and I have records dating clear back into the 1600’s of my history. This place Will is doing it for doesn’t charge the folks anything for the search for it is all done by volunteers. Other organizations of this sort are charging folks big bucks for the search to be conducted and pictures of the tombstones to be taken. A lot of the cemeteries around here are small and others not so small. We will get our walking in for sure.

Yipekio I showed an unexpected loss of 0.6 of a pound at weigh in tonight bringing my total loss to a big 87.4 which brings me exactly to the half way mark in what I plan on losing. The next 87.4 will be downhill ~ I wish.
Being half way there kinda puts a smile on my face. 
SUSAN I know you are going to have a fabulous time at that quilt show. Good planning keeps you from needless spending for things you really don't need. Enjoy!
JEAN Will got his lap top back today and it all well now. It seems strange to not have any mail on a day where everything else is open for business as usual. Well, almost everything for some places close for any opportunity.
Have a lovely night Magnolias


Just trying to stay a step ahead. Guess to keep the cost of the crock pot they didn't enclude the recipe booklet and have you download it. Smart marketing on their part. That is different that they don't have those little pieces of the crock to protude making it easy to take it out. Probably when I ever need to replace the ones I have they will have them back again.
We probably won't get anything after all the hype. This morningI counted money at church, left before I had time to post to go to a hospital auxiliary board meeting, and then back to the church to finish. Being in and out of the cold car, I've been cold all day. The auxiliary had a CD coming due and decided to donate it towards a piece of ankle/foot equipment for the MRI. The CD was earning .2% interest. That is almost an insult! We made a little over $2 in 5 years. I have laundry to do since Bob needs a white shirt for a funeral tomorrow. He is a pall bearer and the burial is out of town.
on losing another .6#! I really like lemon bars too, but mine never taste as good as someone else's. I always find it intereting to drive through cemeteries and look at the tombstones. We had leftover meatloaf for lunch too; I'm not sure what's for supper.
Did the credit card company call you? It's good someone was paying attention. I charged my iPad at Best Buy and the clerk never batted an eye when I handed my card to him. He didn't even ask for ID. We had several places ask for ID when we were in Florida. Remember I live in a rural area
and we are lucky to have two grocery stores let alone a Fresh Market or Whole Foods. I wonder if they even exist in the Midwest.
Cookies are my downfall.
I have much I can involve myself in here
We had
last evening instead of my cooking the pork chops so we will have them for dinner this day. I have a black bag which is currently sitting on the floor in my office which holds some guns and ammo that makes it easy to grab when we are off to the range to do some target practice. It is zipped closed and the cat is trying his best to get that bag open for I think he wants to hop into it. When he finds out how to unzip things I will have to put the bag in the closet where it usually is kept. I didn’t take it to the range yesterday because the wind was blowing some and it was very chilly. Will had to go to test fire a gun he had worked on so he could get it back to the fellow today. That is where he is going now during this snow storm.
